On March 27, 2019, the Board of Directors of Xylem Inc. (the "Company") elected Jorge M. Gomez as a director of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Gomez' committee appointments will be made at the Board's next regularly scheduled meeting. Mr. Gomez currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Cardinal Health, Inc.

His cash retainer for the current term will be prorated. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Gomez and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director; and Mr. Gomez is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
