Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On November 14, 2025, Union Pacific Corporation (“Union Pacific”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Norfolk Southern”), Ruby Merger Sub 1 Corporation, a Virginia corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific (“Merger Sub 1”), and Ruby Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific (“Merger Sub 2”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Norfolk Southern (the “First Merger”), with Norfolk Southern surviving the First Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific, and (ii) immediately thereafter, Norfolk Southern will merge with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific.

As of the close of business on October 6, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 593,127,035 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Union Pacific (“Union Pacific common stock”) issued and outstanding, each of which was entitled to one (1) vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total of 468,888,884 shares of Union Pacific common stock, representing approximately 79% of the shares of Union Pacific common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, were present virtually or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the Special Meeting, Union Pacific shareholders considered the following matters:

•the proposal to approve the issuance of Union Pacific common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Share Issuance Proposal”); and

•the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Share Issuance Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the proposals were approved by the requisite vote of Union Pacific shareholders. The final voting results for each proposal are described below. For more information on the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, see the final prospectus filed by Union Pacific with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2025.

Proposal 1 – The Share Issuance Proposal

The Shareholders approved the issuance of Company common stock, par value $2.50 per share, pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and Norfolk Southern, as may be amended from time to time (the Share Issuance Proposal), by the following count:


Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions
465,888,036	2,214,119	786,729

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions
443,263,243	24,770,175	855,466

With respect to the Adjournment Proposal, although there were sufficient votes to approve the Adjournment Proposal, no motion to adjourn was made because the adjournment of the Special Meeting was determined not to be necessary or appropriate.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the completion of the Mergers remains subject to various conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals.

Litigation Related to the Mergers


99.1			Press Release of Union Pacific, dated November 14, 2025.
104			Cover Page Interactive Data File (embedded within the Inline XBRL document).

Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, three lawsuits challenging the Mergers have been filed in New York Supreme Court (each, a “Lawsuit” and, collectively, the “Lawsuits”). The first Lawsuit, captioned Welsh v. Norfolk Southern Corp. et al. (No. 659329/2025) was filed on October 23, 2025. The second Lawsuit, captioned Scott v. Norfolk Southern Corp. et al. (No. 659334/2025) was on October 24, 2025. The third Lawsuit, captioned Siegel v. Dillon et al. (No. 659322/2025) was filed on October 26, 2025. In addition, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern have each received demand letters from certain purported shareholders of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, as applicable, that allege deficiencies and/or omissions in the Registration Statement (collectively, the “Demand Letters” and together with the Lawsuits, the “Matters”). The Matters each allege that, among other things, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains certain disclosure deficiencies and/or incomplete information regarding the Mergers and seek additional disclosures to remedy these purported deficiencies. Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern believe that the allegations in the Matters are without merit. There can be no assurances that additional lawsuits or demands will not be filed or made against Union Pacific and/or Norfolk Southern with respect to the Mergers. If this occurs, neither Union Pacific nor Norfolk Southern will necessarily announce them. SIGNATURE

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern believe that the disclosures set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply fully with applicable law and exchange rules and that no further disclosure beyond that already contained in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is required under applicable law or exchange rules. However, in order to moot such disclosure claims, to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the completion of the Mergers, and without admitting any culpability, liability or wrongdoing and without admitting the relevance or materiality of such disclosures, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are voluntarily supplementing the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern specifically deny all allegations in the Matters, including that any additional disclosure was or is required.

Supplemental Disclosures to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus

The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety, including all risk factors and cautionary notes contained therein. All page references are to pages in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. For clarity, new text within restated paragraphs from the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is highlighted with bold, underlined text, while deleted text is bold and stricken-through.

In arriving at the implied equity values per share of Norfolk Southern common stock, Morgan Stanley applied a representative range of the ratio of AV to NTM Adjusted EBITDA as of January 1, 2027 (which is referred to as the AV / 1/1/2027 NTM Adj. EBITDA Ratio), of 11.5x to 13.5x, derived by Morgan Stanley using its experience and professional judgment, to Norfolk Southern’s estimated NTM Adjusted EBITDA as of January 1, 2027, of $6,663 million, then subtracted the amount of Norfolk Southern’s estimated net debt of $13.8 billion as of January 1, 2027, and then divided the resulting implied equity values for Norfolk Southern by Norfolk Southern’s fully diluted shares outstanding, in each case based on the UP management unaudited NS projections.

Based on BofA’s review of the TEV/LTM Adjusted EBITDA multiples for the selected transactions and on its professional judgment and experience, BofA applied a TEV/LTM Adjusted EBITDA multiple reference range of 12.00x to 16.00x, to Norfolk Southern’s Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Based on BofA’s professional judgment and experience, BofA calculated terminal values for Norfolk Southern by applying terminal multiples of 11.00x to 13.00x to Norfolk Southern’s fiscal year 2030 estimated Adjusted EBITDA. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of June 30, 2025, assuming a mid-year convention for cash flows, using discount rates ranging from 8.50% to 10.00%, which were based on an estimate, based on BofA’s professional judgment and experience, of Norfolk Southern’s weighted average cost of capital.

The second bullet point on page 141 under “The Merger—Opinion of Norfolk Southern’s Financial Advisor—Opinion of BofA Securities, Inc.—Summary of Norfolk Southern Financial Analyses—Other Factors” is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

BofA also noted that the median of price targets for Norfolk Southern was $279.00 per share.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. BofA performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Union Pacific to calculate the estimated present value of the standalone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that Union Pacific was forecasted to generate during the six-month period ending December 31, 2025 and for the fiscal years 2026 through 2031 based on the Norfolk Southern management view of the UP management unaudited projections and unlevered free cash flow, as set forth in the section entitled “Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information”. Based on BofA’s professional judgment and experience, BofA calculated terminal values for Union Pacific by applying terminal multiples of 12.00x to 14.00x to Union Pacific’s fiscal year 2031 estimated Adjusted EBITDA. The cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of June 30, 2025, assuming a mid-year convention for cash flows, using discount rates ranging from 8.50% to 10.00%, which were based on an estimate, based on BofA’s professional judgment and experience, of Union Pacific’s weighted average cost of capital.

BofA also noted that the median of price targets for Union Pacific was $260.00 per share.

The third full paragraph beginning on page 143 under “The Merger—Opinion of Norfolk Southern’s Financial Advisor—Opinion of BofA Securities, Inc.—Summary of Material Pro Forma Financial Analysis—Has/Gets Analysis” is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

For the aggregate equity value of Norfolk Southern common stock on a standalone basis, BofA used the reference range obtained in its discounted cash flow analysis described above under “Summary of Material Financial Analyses of Norfolk Southern — Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.” BofA then performed the same analysis by calculating the range of implied aggregate equity values allocable to holders of Norfolk Southern common stock on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the mergers, by assuming approximately 27.5% pro forma ownership, based on 225.152 million shares, the number of shares of Union Pacific common stock estimated to be issued to holders of Norfolk Southern common stock in the mergers, utilizing the results of the standalone discounted cash flow analyses for Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific described above under “Summary of Material Financial Analyses of Norfolk Southern – Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” and under “Summary of Material Financial Analyses of Union Pacific – Discounted Cash Flow Analysis,” and taking into account the net present value of the synergies as of June 30, 2025, using a discount rate of 8.5% to 10.0% based on BofA’s professional judgment and

experience. For purposes of this analysis, BofA assumed incremental transaction net debt in the amount of $20.4 billion. BofA then compared these implied equity value reference ranges, which were further adjusted by an estimated additional net debt from the mergers and $88.82 per share cash consideration, to the implied equity value reference ranges derived for Norfolk Southern on a standalone basis utilizing the results of the standalone discounted cash flow analysis of Norfolk Southern described above.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this communication are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause Union Pacific’s, Norfolk Southern’s or the combined company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements or those of the railroad industry to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “pro forma,” or any variations or other comparable terminology.

While Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern have based these forward-looking statements on those expectations, assumptions, estimates, beliefs and projections they view as reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Union Pacific’s, Norfolk Southern’s or the combined company’s control, including but not limited to, in addition to factors disclosed in Union Pacific’s and Norfolk Southern’s respective filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern providing for the acquisition of Norfolk Southern by Union Pacific (the “Transaction”); the risk that potential legal proceedings may be instituted against Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern and result in significant costs of defense, indemnification or liability; the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected or at all because required Surface Transportation Board, shareholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Transaction); the risk that the combined company will not realize expected benefits, cost savings, accretion, synergies and/or growth from the Transaction, or that such benefits may take longer to realize or be more costly to achieve than expected, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, tariffs, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern operate; disruption to the parties’ businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Transaction; the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the Transaction, including the restrictions contained in the definitive merger agreement on the ability of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, respectively, to operate their respective businesses outside the ordinary course during the pendency of the Transaction; the diversion of Union Pacific’s and Norfolk Southern’s management’s attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities on merger-related matters; the
