About the Exchange Offer In May 2023, an initial public offering of approximately 19.5% of Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (Atmus) common stock was completed. Cummins Inc. (Cummins) retained the remaining outstanding shares of, and a controlling stake in, Atmus. Cummins is offering its stockholders the opportunity to exchange shares of Cummins common stock for shares of Atmus common stock (the exchange offer), subject to the terms of the exchange offer described in the Prospectus, dated February 14, 2024 (the Prospectus). Our records indicate that you have a balance in the Cummins Employee Stock Ownership Plan Fund (Cummins ESOP Fund)1 in the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan (RSP)2 . This means that you are currently eligible to participate in this exchange offer through the RSP. If you choose to participate, you must make your election before 4:00 p.m. ET on March 11, 2024 (the date the RSP exchange offer election period ends). This guide, the Prospectus, and other important information about the exchange offer can be found on the RSP website at yourbenefitsresources.com/cummins. Click the “Cummins Atmus Stock Exchange Offer” message at the top of the home page. Participation in the exchange offer is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to participate, no action is required. 1 The Cummins ESOP Fund is a closed fund that is distinct from the Cummins Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Employees participating in the ESPP will receive separate exchange offer communications for this plan. 2 “RSP” refers to both the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan and the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan for Certain Collectively Bargained Employees. These are the only retirement plans eligible for the exchange offer. 2

4 Exchange offer The exchange offer is the offer by Cummins to its shareholders to exchange shares of Cummins common stock for shares of Atmus common stock. This exchange offer is available to all Cummins shareholders, including RSP participants invested in the Cummins Stock Fund or Cummins ESOP Fund. Units Ownership of the Cummins Stock Fund and Cummins ESOP Fund in the RSP is expressed as units. Your balance in the fund is the number of units you own times the current value of each unit. While the Cummins Stock Fund and the Cummins ESOP Fund invest primarily in Cummins stock, they also hold cash and short-term investments in order to facilitate daily transactions such as fund transfers and distributions. That is why the holdings of these stock funds are expressed in units, rather than shares. Once established, the new Atmus Stock Fund in the RSP will also be expressed in units. Cost basis Cost basis is the value of the units you have in the Cummins Stock Fund and/or Cummins ESOP Fund from when they were originally allocated to the Fund. You can find the cost basis for the Cummins ESOP Fund on the RSP website at yourbenefitsresources.com/cummins. Under the “RSP & Pension” tab, select “Investments” on the RSP menu. Under “Retirement and Savings Plan Portfolio,” you will see your cost basis listed as “Cost” for the Cummins ESOP Fund. For additional information, refer to the exchange offer FAQs. Exchange ratio The exchange ratio is the number of shares of Atmus stock that will be received for each share of Cummins stock accepted under the exchange offer. Your units of a Cummins stock fund accepted into the exchange offer will be: Note: The exchange ratio and oversubscription ratio are not currently available and the calculation above will happen after the close of the exchange offer election period. Oversubscribed OR Oversubscription ratio Cummins will set a limit on how many shares of Cummins stock can be exchanged for Atmus stock. If shareholders request to exchange more Cummins stock than the limit, the exchange offer will be oversubscribed and Cummins will establish an oversubscription ratio to determine what portion of shares offered will be accepted for exchange. This oversubscription ratio is the maximum number of Cummins shares allowed in the exchange offer divided by the total shares offered in the exchange. For example, if shareholders offer two (2) times the limit, only 50% of shares offered from each shareholder for the exchange will be accepted. Similarly, if four (4) times the limit is offered, only 25% of shares offered from each shareholder will be accepted.3 Key Terms to Know Your units in that fund at the offer deadline × × The percent you elected to include in the exchange The oversubscription ratio 3 In general, the oversubscription ratio will apply equally to all shareholders participating in the exchange offer, including those participating through the RSP. However, some very small offer amounts from shareholders outside of the RSP may be accepted before the oversubscription ratio is applied.

5 Plan trustee Northern Trust Company is the plan trustee for the RSP. The plan trustee holds title to the shares of stock in the Cummins Stock Fund and the Cummins ESOP Fund. You can make a trustee election to tell the plan trustee that you want to participate in the exchange offer, and Northern Trust Company will make an exchange election on your behalf for the RSP. Your election will be a percentage of the units you hold in a Cummins stock fund as of March 11, 2024 after all requested daily transactions are processed. Blackout period If you choose to participate in the exchange offer, a blackout period will apply during which: • RSP loans and withdrawals are not permitted (though any outstanding loan repayments will continue). • Transfers out of the fund(s) being exchanged (the Cummins Stock Fund and/or the Cummins ESOP Fund) are not permitted. • Transfers into the Cummins Stock Fund will still be allowed, but new contributions or transfers into the Cummins Stock Fund will not be included in the exchange offer. (Note: The Cummins ESOP Fund is closed to new contributions.) See the Blackout Notice for more information about the blackout period. Key Terms to Know (continued)
