The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to compensate our executive officers in a manner that will attract, retain, and motivate talented executives with the skills needed to manage a complex and growing business in a competitive industry, while creating long-term value for our stockholders. The Talent & Compensation Committee seeks to design our executive compensation program in a manner that reflects direct alignment between the compensation opportunity provided to our executives and the achievement of our strategic objectives. Consistent with our strategic objectives for fiscal year 2026, when designing our executive compensation program for the year, the Talent & Compensation Committee focused on continuing to build and retain our executive team, while incentivizing our executive officers to focus on increasing revenue, enhancing profitability, and creating long-term value for our stockholders. When establishing our executive compensation program, the Talent & Compensation Committee is guided by the following four principles:
•Pay for performance by ensuring that a significant portion of compensation is made available to our executive team based on the achievement of pre-determined performance-based objectives. •Align interests of executives with stockholders by tying a significant portion of compensation to performance that creates long-term value for our stockholders. •Reward achievement by offering incentives for achieving short-term and long-term financial goals that are directly tied to the achievement of strategic objectives. •Attract and retain executives with the background and experience necessary to lead the organization and achieve our strategic objectives.

They are also intended to provide our stockholders with certain information that is required to be provided under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. These questions and answers may not address all of the questions that are important to you as a stockholder. If you have additional questions about this Proxy Statement or the Annual Meeting, please refer to the question titled "Whom should I contact with other questions?" below.
Q: When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?
A: The Annual Meeting will be held on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The Annual Meeting will be conducted entirely online via a live webcast. Our stockholders may participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DECK2026. You will need a 16-digit control number to attend and participate in the live webcast of the Annual Meeting. Please refer to the question titled "How can I vote my shares?" for information on obtaining your 16-digit control number.
Q: What proposals am I being asked to vote upon at the Annual Meeting?
A: The proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, and our Board's recommendation with respect to each proposal, are as follows:

NUMBER | PROPOSAL | BOARD VOTING RECOMMENDATION
Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors | Elect ten directors to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027, until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal. | "FOR" EACH DIRECTOR NOMINEE

Proposal No. 3: Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation | Approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as described in the section of this Proxy Statement titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis." | "FOR"

Q: Why did I receive these proxy materials?
A: We are providing this Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation by our Board of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting, or at any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. You are invited to virtually attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote your shares using one of the other voting methods described in this Proxy Statement.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to read this Proxy Statement and submit your proxy or voting instructions as soon as possible to ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting.
Q: Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials?
A: Instead of mailing printed copies to each of our stockholders, we have elected to provide access to the proxy materials over the Internet under SEC's "notice and access" rules. These rules allow us to make our stockholders aware of the Annual Meeting and the availability of the proxy materials by sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice), which provides instructions on how to access the full set of proxy materials through the Internet or make a request to have printed proxy materials delivered by mail. Accordingly, we will mail the Notice to each of our stockholders on or about July 24, 2026. The Notice contains instructions on how to access the proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report, both of which are available at www.proxyvote.com. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote your shares.

Q: Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
A: Only our stockholders at the close of business on July 16, 2026 (Record Date), will be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 136,181,857 of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on any matter to be voted upon by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
•Holders of Record - If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a "holder of record." As a holder of record, you may vote at the virtual Annual Meeting, or you may vote by proxy. If you are a holder of record and you indicate when voting that you wish to vote as recommended by our Board, or if you submit a vote by proxy without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxyholders will vote your shares as recommended by our Board on all matters described in this Proxy Statement. Thomas Garcia and Steven J. Fasching, the designated proxyholders, are members of our management.
•Beneficial Owners - If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a bank, broker, dealer, or other nominee, then you are the "beneficial owner" of shares held in "street name" and this Proxy Statement is being made available to you by that nominee. The nominee holding your account is considered the holder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the holder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid "legal proxy" or obtain a 16-digit control number from your nominee. Please contact your nominee directly for additional information.
Q: What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?
A: The presence at the Annual Meeting, virtually (even if not voting) or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of our common stock entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. We will treat shares of common stock represented by a properly voted proxy, including shares for which authority is withheld or that a stockholder abstains from voting, as well as broker non-votes, as present at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.
Q: What are the voting requirements to approve each of the proposals, and what happens if I do not vote?
A: The voting requirements to approve each of the proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, as well as the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes on each of the proposals, are as follows:

PROPOSAL | VOTING REQUIREMENT | EFFECT OF ABSTENTIONS(1) | EFFECT OF BROKER NON-VOTES(2)
Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors | Each director nominee in an uncontested election(3) will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting (assuming that a quorum is present). A "majority of the votes cast" means that the number of votes "FOR" a director nominee must exceed the number of votes "AGAINST" a director nominee. | An "ABSTAIN" vote with respect to a director nominee will not count as a vote cast for that nominee, will not be included in the total number of votes cast, and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. | Broker non-votes will not count as votes cast on this proposal, and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.
Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Selection of Accounting Firm | Requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting (assuming that a quorum is present). | An "ABSTAIN" vote will be included in the total number of shares present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. | Because a bank, broker, dealer or other nominee may generally vote without instructions on this proposal, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.
Proposal No. 3: Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation | Requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting (assuming that a quorum is present). | An "ABSTAIN" vote will be included in the total number of shares present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. | Broker non-votes will not count as votes cast on this proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

(1)You may "ABSTAIN" from voting on one or more director nominees and from voting on one or more of the other proposals described in this Proxy Statement. Shares for which a stockholder abstains from voting will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
(2)Pursuant to applicable New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, the nominee may generally vote in its discretion on “routine” matters (such as Proposal No. 2). However, if the nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a “non-routine” matter (such as Proposal Nos. 1 and 3), it will be unable to vote your shares on that matter. When this occurs, it is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
(3)An "uncontested election" is an election in which the number of director nominees is not greater than the number of directors to be elected. A "contested election" is an election in which the number of director nominees nominated by (i) our Board, (ii) any stockholder, or (iii) a combination of our Board and any stockholder, exceeds the number of directors to be elected. In a contested election, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.
Q: What happens if a director nominee fails to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election at the Annual Meeting?
A: Each incumbent director standing for reelection at the Annual Meeting has tendered an irrevocable letter of resignation that will become effective only if the director fails to receive a majority vote at the Annual Meeting and our Board accepts the resignation. Our Board must accept or reject such resignation within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote in accordance with the procedures established by our Amended and Restated Bylaws (Bylaws). If a director’s resignation offer is not accepted by our Board, that director will continue to serve until our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027, until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal.
Any director nominee who is not an incumbent director and who fails to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election will not be elected as a director, and a vacancy will remain on our Board. Our Board, in its sole discretion, may either fill a vacancy resulting from a director nominee not receiving a majority vote, or decrease the size of our Board to eliminate the vacancy, each in accordance with our Bylaws.
Q: Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
A: As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any business to be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than the matters described in this Proxy Statement. If, however, other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to those matters.
Q: How can I vote my shares?
A: Your shares can be voted as follows:
• Holders of Record - Holders of record can vote by proxy or by attending the Annual Meeting where votes can be submitted electronically via live webcast. If you wish to vote by proxy, you can vote by Internet, telephone, or mail as described below. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit your proxy or voting instruction as soon as possible to ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting.

VOTING METHOD

You will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice or your proxy card (if you requested to receive printed proxy materials). The method you use to vote by proxy will not limit your right to attend or vote at the Annual Meeting. All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
| To vote by Internet, you will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice or your proxy card (if you requested to receive printed proxy materials). Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, September 13, 2026 by visiting www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions.
| To vote by telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice or on your proxy card (if you requested to receive printed proxy materials). Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, September 13, 2026 by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.

• Beneficial Owners - If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, you should have received the Notice or a proxy card (if you requested to receive printed proxy materials) with this Proxy Statement from your nominee rather than from us. Simply (i) use the 16-digit control number to vote on the Internet or by telephone before the Annual Meeting, or vote at the Annual Meeting, or (ii) if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, vote by following the instructions provided on the proxy card you received from your nominee's website. Your 16-digit control number may be included in the voting instruction form that accompanied the proxy materials. If your nominee did not provide you with a 16-digit control number, you should contact your nominee to obtain your control number and access the Annual Meeting link. To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must first obtain a valid "legal proxy" from your nominee. Follow the instructions from your nominee to request a "legal proxy."
Q: What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?
A: You may change your vote at any time before the polls are closed at the Annual Meeting.
• Holders of Record - If you are a holder of record, you may change your vote by (i) providing written notice of revocation to Deckers Outdoor Corporation, 250 Coromar Drive, Goleta, California 93117, Attention: Corporate Secretary, (ii) executing a subsequent proxy using any of the voting methods discussed above (subject to the deadlines for voting with respect to each method), or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically via live webcast. However, simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.
• Beneficial Owners - If you are a beneficial owner of your shares and you have instructed your nominee to vote your shares, you may change your vote by following the directions received from your nominee to change those voting instructions, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting via live webcast, which can be accomplished as described above.
Subject to any revocation, all shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the applicable proxy, or, if no instructions are given, the proxyholders will vote the shares in accordance with the recommendations of our Board as described above.
Q: Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
A: The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of our Board and all the expenses of soliciting proxies from stockholders will be borne by us. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, our directors, officers, and employees may communicate with stockholders in person or by email, telephone, or otherwise for the purpose of soliciting such proxies. No additional compensation will be paid to any such persons for such solicitation, although we may reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation. We will reimburse banks, brokers, dealers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. The total estimated cost of the solicitation of proxies is approximately $358,000.
Q: How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials? How may I reduce the number of copies our household receives?
A: We have adopted a procedure called "householding," which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we are delivering a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy materials. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, this Proxy Statement or the Annual Report, or if you wish to receive separate copies in the future, please contact: Deckers Outdoor Corporation, 250 Coromar Drive, Goleta, California 93117, Attention: Corporate Secretary, Telephone: (805) 967-7611.
In addition, if you are currently a stockholder sharing an address with another stockholder and wish to receive only one copy of future proxy materials for your household, please contact us using the contact information set forth above. Stockholders who are beneficial owners of shares held in street name may contact their bank, broker, dealer or other nominee to request information about householding.
Q: Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
A: We will announce preliminary voting results with respect to each proposal at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with SEC rules, final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the Annual Meeting, unless final results are not known at that time, in which case preliminary voting results will be published within four business days of the Annual Meeting and final voting results will be published once we know them.

Q: Where else can I find these proxy materials?
A: This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available under "SEC Filings" at ir.deckers.com. Other information contained on or accessed through our website does not constitute part of this Proxy Statement and you should not consider this other information in deciding how to vote your shares. References to our website address in this Proxy Statement are inactive textual references only.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Board Characteristics
The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee considers many factors when identifying director nominees, including a range of experiences and skills, as well as backgrounds. We believe directors with varied backgrounds, spanning relevant substantive expertise, professional experiences, educational backgrounds, and personal characteristics, create a Board that is positioned to best serve our Company, stockholders, employees, and communities. We also value the mix of viewpoints provided by our directors with various levels of tenure, from those with a deep understanding of our business to those with fresh perspectives. Our strong commitment to an inclusive workplace that promotes belonging is reflected within the composition of our Board.
A snapshot of our ten director nominees as of the date of this Proxy Statement is depicted in the charts below.
Board Composition and Refreshment
The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee has the primary oversight of Board succession planning and Board refreshment process. We are continuously evaluating the overall balance of our Board, including the balance between longer-tenured directors who bring great institutional knowledge and new directors who offer fresh external viewpoints. Our Board annually reviews its overall composition, the composition of its committees, and the Chair of each committee to align with the Company's long-term strategic needs.
In May 2025, Ms. Davis was appointed as Chair of the Board. In connection with Ms. Davis' appointment as Chair, she stepped down as a member of the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee and as Chair of the Talent & Compensation Committee. Victor Luis, who has served as a member of the Board and as a member of the Talent & Compensation Committee since 2020, was named Chair of the Talent & Compensation Committee.
In September 2025, Mr. Grismer was elected as a director and was appointed as a member of the Audit & Risk Management Committee. Ms. Ibrahim was appointed as a member of the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee and stepped down as a member of the Audit & Risk Management Committee.

Board Structure
Our Bylaws provide for the annual election of directors. Our Bylaws provide that our Board will consist of not less than one nor more than 11 members, and the Board has fixed the number of directors at ten. Accordingly, if all ten nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, there will be no vacancies on the Board.
At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to elect ten directors to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027, until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal. The names and certain information concerning the persons nominated by our Board to stand for election as directors at the Annual Meeting are set forth in the section of this Proxy Statement titled “Director Nominees” below.
If all ten director nominees are elected, then nine of the ten members will be "independent directors" u nder applicable NYSE rules. In addition, each member of our Board's three standing committees will be an “independent director” under applicable SEC and NYSE rules.
No Agreements or Family Relationships
No agreement or understanding exists between any of our directors, director nominees, or executive officers and any other person pursuant to which any of them were selected as our director, director nominee, or executive officer.
There are no family relationships among any of our directors, director nominees, or executive officers.
No Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings related to any of our directors, director nominees, or executive officers which are required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable SEC rules.
Director Nominations
The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating nominees for election to our Board. In addition to the candidates proposed by our Board or identified by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee, the committee considers candidates for director proposed by stockholders, provided such recommendations are made in accordance with the procedures set forth in our Bylaws. Stockholder nominations that meet the criteria outlined below will receive the same consideration as nominations made by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee.
Director Qualifications
Directors are responsible for overseeing and monitoring our business consistent with their fiduciary duties to our stockholders. This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes, skills and professional experience. Our Board believes there are both general requirements for eligibility to serve as a member of our Board that are applicable to all directors, and other specialized characteristics that should be represented on our Board as a whole, but not necessarily by each director.
Qualifications for All Directors
Essential criteria for all director candidates considered by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee include the following:
•Personal and professional integrity;
•Good business judgment;
•Relevant experience and skills;
•Ability to effectively serve the long-term interests of our stockholders; and

Consent to Serve
Each of the persons named above has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director if elected, and our Board has no reason to believe any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. If, however, any nominee withdraws or otherwise becomes unavailable to serve, our Board may decrease the size of our Board, or the proxies may be voted for the election of such other person as a director as our Board may recommend in place of the nominee.
Required Vote
Because this is an uncontested election, the election of our director nominees at the Annual Meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting (assuming that a quorum is present). A "majority of the votes cast" means the number of shares voted "FOR" a director nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “AGAINST” a director nominee.
This proposal is considered a "non-routine" matter under NYSE rules. As a result, a bank, broker, dealer, or other nominee may not vote without instructions on this matter, so there may be broker non-votes in connection with this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" a director nominee and will have no effect on the election of directors. If no contrary indication is made, returned proxies will be voted "FOR" each of the director nominees, or in the event any nominee is unable to serve as a director at the time of the election, returned proxies will be voted "FOR" any nominee designated by our Board to fill the vacancy.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION | OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE TEN DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance at Deckers
Corporate governance is managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board has a long-standing commitment to comprehensive and effective corporate governance practices. Our Board continues to evaluate our governance policies and procedures to ensure that the right mix of individuals is present in our boardroom and to ensure effective oversight of our strategy and management in order to best serve our stockholders. Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth the primary framework of governance principles applicable to our Company, a copy of which is available on our website at ir.deckers.com in the Governance Overview section of the Governance tab.
Corporate Governance Elements
Our Board is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and has established a strong framework by which our Company is governed. Key elements of our corporate governance framework include:

OUR POLICY OR PRACTICE | DESCRIPTION AND BENEFIT TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
| STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS
Annual Election of Directors | •Our directors are elected annually, reinforcing their accountability to our stockholders. We do not employ a classified board structure.
Single Class of Outstanding Voting Stock | •Our common stockholders control our Company with equal voting rights.
Majority Voting Standard | •We have a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections.
| BOARD STRUCTURE
Director Independence | •Based on the director independence requirements set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as under applicable SEC and NYSE rules, our Board has determined that each of our director nominees, other than Mr. Caroti, is an "independent director." Accordingly, if all director nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, nine out of ten members of the Board will be "independent directors." •Our three standing Board committees: the Audit & Risk Management Committee, the Talent & Compensation Committee and the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee, consist exclusively of independent directors and have adopted written charters. Committee composition and charters are reviewed annually by our Board.
Board Leadership Structure | •Our Corporate Governance Guidelines allow our Board to determine whether to separate or combine the roles of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Currently, Ms. Davis, who is an independent director, serves as Chair of the Board. We believe this is the most appropriate leadership structure for our Company at this time.
Annual Board Self-Evaluations | •The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee conducts and oversees annual evaluations of our Board, each Board committee and each individual director, to ensure they are effective and continue to serve the best interests of our stockholders. We periodically engage an independent third party to facilitate these evaluations.
Board Oversight of Risk | •Our Board is generally responsible for oversight and has delegated the oversight of specified risk areas to its standing committees, including primary oversight of our risk-management framework to our Audit & Risk Management Committee. Our full Board regularly engages in discussions about the most significant risks we face and how these risks are managed.
| EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Annual Say-on-Pay Vote | •Historically, we have provided our stockholders the opportunity to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers on an annual basis as this affords our stockholders the ability to provide routine feedback on our executive compensation program.

Corporate Governance Principles
Pursuant to Delaware law and our Bylaws, our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Thus, our Board is the ultimate decision-making body of our Company, except with respect to those matters reserved for our stockholders.

|  | 20

Our Board selects our Chief Executive Officer and works together with our Chief Executive Officer to select our senior management team, which is charged with the day-to-day operation of our business. Members of our Board are kept informed about our business through discussions with our Chief Executive Officer and other senior management personnel, including by attending brand sales meetings and industry events, participating in periodic informal telephonic meetings, and reviewing materials provided to them, as well as by attending formal meetings of our Board and its committees. Having selected the senior management team, our Board acts as an adviser and counselor to senior management, monitors its performance, and proposes or makes changes to the senior management team when it deems necessary or appropriate.
Board of Directors Meetings

BOARD OF DIRECTORS |  | Meetings in Fiscal Year 2026: 5
• Each of our directors attended at least 80% of Board meetings and meetings of the Board committees on which he or she served during the period in which he or she served on the Board or on any Board committee.
• Time is scheduled for our independent directors to meet in an executive session at every Board meeting. Ms. Davis presides over each executive session.
• Our Corporate Governance Guidelines state that directors are expected to attend each of our annual meetings of stockholders. In fiscal year 2026, the majority of our Board members attended the annual meeting of stockholders held in September 2025.

Director Independence
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as applicable NYSE rules, require that our Board be comprised of a majority of directors who satisfy the criteria for independence set forth in the NYSE rules. These guidelines help ensure that the interests of our Board and management are aligned with those of our stockholders, that conflicts of interest are avoided, and that we are in compliance with applicable SEC and NYSE rules. An "independent director" is one who our Board affirmatively determines has no material relationship with our Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with our Company) and otherwise meets the requirements of the NYSE rules.
Based on the director independence requirements set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as in the applicable NYSE rules, our Board has determined that each of our directors, other than Mr. Caroti, , is an "independent director." In addition, all members of the Audit & Risk Management Committee, Talent & Compensation Committee, and Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee meet the independence standards set forth in applicable SEC and NYSE rules.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines allow the Board to determine whether to separate or combine the roles of chair and chief executive officer. Our Board believes it is important to maintain flexibility in our Board leadership structure to best serve the interests of the Company and its stockholders at any particular time. However, our Board firmly supports having an "independent director" serve in a Board leadership position at all times.
In determining the appropriate structure, our Board considers multiple factors, including our business and strategic needs at the time and the composition of our Board. The roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer are currently separated. Our Board believes this leadership structure allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the day-to-day operation and management of our Company, while allowing our Chair to focus on leading the Board in overseeing the interests of our Company and stockholders. Our Chair, Ms. Davis, leverages her extensive experience in matters related to premium branding, retail, and risk oversight to advise the Company on identified and anticipated risks, as well as to drive strategy and agenda setting at the Board leve l. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Caroti, utilizes his extensive leadership experience in the footwear and apparel industry to drive the Company's strategic vision, oversee its long-term growth, and provide general oversight of the business and affairs of the Company.
While the Board believes the current structure is appropriate at this time, it regularly assesses the advantages and disadvantages of various structures taking into account the evolving needs of the business.
Board Committees
Our Board has three standing committees: the Audit & Risk Management Committee, the Talent & Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee. Each member of each of the committees is an "independent director" for purposes of applicable SEC and NYSE rules. Each of our committees has a written charter that describes its purpose, membership, meeting structure, and responsibilities. A copy of each committee's charter is available on our website at ir.deckers.com in the Governance Documents section of the Governance tab. These charters are reviewed annually by each committee, with any recommended changes approved by our Board. The Audit & Risk Management Committee charter was amended in September 2025, the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee charter was amended in September 2025, and the Talent & Compensation Committee charter was amended in January 2026.

Nominating Procedures and Criteria
Among its functions, the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee considers and approves nominees for election to our Board. We view board succession as an ongoing process and regularly identify, evaluate and pursue prospective candidates. In addition to the candidates identified by the Committee, the Committee considers candidates for director proposed by our stockholders, provided such recommendations are made in accordance with the procedures set forth in our Bylaws. Stockholder nominations that meet the qualification criteria referred to below will receive the same consideration as nominations made by the Committee.
Essential criteria for all candidates considered by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee are discussed in the section of this Proxy Statement titled "Director Qualifications." In considering individual candidates, the Committee also evaluates additional criteria, as reflected in the section of this Proxy Statement titled "Summary of Qualifications and Skills of Directors."
In selecting nominees for our Board, the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee evaluates the general criteria referred to above, identifies any specialized criteria for which the Committee has determined there is a need, and considers the candidate's ability to meet the required criteria and contribute to the success of our Company. In evaluating an existing director for reelection, in addition to assessing the criteria referred to above, the Committee considers a variety of factors, including attendance at Board and committee meetings, independence, length of service, previous Board and committee performance, and overall contributions to our Company. From time to time, the Committee retains independent third-party search firms, consultants, and other advisors, as appropriate, to help identify, screen, and evaluate candidates and to enhance our Board’s preparedness in the event of an unplanned director departure.
Management Succession and Talent Development
The Talent & Compensation Committee, pursuant to its charter, is responsible for overseeing the management succession planning process. As part of that responsibility, the Committee reviews and evaluates the development and succession plan relating to our executive officers, including considerations of career paths and attracting and retaining high-quality talent. The Board is responsible for these actions with respect to our Chief Executive Officer. The Committee works with the Board to assess whether we have the management talent needed to successfully pursue our business objectives. The Board also regularly considers the competencies necessary for our Chief Executive Officer to support our strategies for long-term success.
Risk Governance Structure
Our Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of our Company's risk management process, which is designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, including strategic objectives, improve long-term organizational performance and enhance stockholder value. It has developed processes to identify, evaluate and manage short-, medium- and long-term risks to ensure they are prioritized on a timely basis. Risks are typically categorized based on the severity and probability of the risk and addressed or escalated as appropriate. The Board members provide objective, independent oversight of risk and focus on the most significant risks facing the Company. Our legal and internal audit executives report directly to the Audit & Risk Management Committee regarding material risks to our business, among other matters, and facilitate the identification, assessment and

|  | 23

development of controls and procedures that address identified risks. The highest-ranking manager of our internal audit function periodically meets with the Audit & Risk Management Committee and the Board to discuss identified risks, the status of management’s risk mitigation actions, and, if applicable, any emerging risks. Separately, our Risk & Compliance Advisory Committee, an independent committee overseen by our internal audit team, evaluates organizational risks and discusses opportunities for compliance and risk mitigation.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
•Annually reviews or assesses the effectiveness of our Company’s enterprise risk management programs and framework, including the processes for identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and responding to our enterprise-wide risk exposures, to ensure that robust risk management strategies are in place.

•Receives regular updates from management regarding our organization’s portfolio of risk and engages in discussions to understand and assess our overall risk management activities. Our Board further apprises itself of the most significant risks facing our Company, ensuring that robust risk response actions have been established and implemented, with an independent review by internal audit. Management and our Board assess the Company's risk environment on a quarterly basis to ensure the Company is adequately anticipating future exposure to liability.
•On an annual basis, under the direction of our Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee, our Board reviews and assesses our corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts, including risks related to environmental and social issues, as well as risks related to corporate governance issues.

Our employees receive annual trainings on responsible information security, data security and cybersecurity practices including appropriate action to take against cyber threats.

The Accounting and Finance Code of Ethics is intended to qualify as a "code of ethics" under applicable SEC rules and to satisfy the standards of ethics and compliance programs under applicable NYSE rules.

Stockholder Engagement
We are committed to ongoing, proactive engagement with our stockholders on a number of significant topics, including our business and strategic objectives, capital allocation strategy, corporate governance framework, and executive compensation program. We value our stockholders' perspectives and believe their input contributes meaningfully to our long-term success. To that end, we routinely engage with our investors to understand their views and ensure they are considered in Board and management discussions about our strategic direction.
Our stockholder outreach program is led by a cross-functional team that includes members of our Investor Relations, ESG, and Legal teams.
In fiscal year 2026, we contacted stockholders representing approximately 41% of our outstanding shares to solicit feedback and share updates on various matters, including our corporate governance framework, executive compensation practices, and ESG priorities. Investors were generally supportive of our approach across these areas. The feedback we received was shared with our Board and members of management and taken into account in our decision-making processes.
We believe transparent communication with our stockholders is critical to our long-term success, and that the feedback received through our stockholder engagement efforts contributes to the evolution and success of our business. We plan to continue proactive outreach efforts going forward.
Please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Stockholder Outreach" for more information regarding stockholder engagement specific to executive compensation.
Our People and Our Culture
Our key values, which guide our journey onward together to improve our business and create a better world around us, and help hold us accountable to deliver on this purpose, are as follows:
Our values define our Company and serve as the driving force behind how we work together and with our customers, consumers, partners, suppliers, and communities. We also have detailed policies that support our commitment to ethical behavior and legal compliance across our Company. Through our open-door policy and culture, employees are encouraged to approach their managers if they believe violations of standards or policies have occurred and are able to make confidential and anonymous reports using a 24/7 online or telephone hotline hosted by an independent third-party provider.
We believe our culture makes us unique. We regularly conduct employee surveys to understand our employees' experiences on a variety of topics focused on employee engagement. Our latest survey completed in August 2025 had a participation rate of 92.3%. Of those employees who completed the survey, 88.4% noted they were proud to work for Deckers.
We believe an inclusive workplace that promotes belonging for everyone brings together those with a unique set of experiences, opinions, and thoughts on critical issues. In turn, these varied perspectives enhance our business and drive better outcomes. Our people are at the center of everything we do. Their perspectives and passion for innovation enable us to build brands and

|  | 26

create products that people around the world love. We strive to create an environment where employees can come as they are and are free to bring their authentic selves to work every day.
We publish workforce metrics in our annual Equal Employment Opportunity filing (EEO-1) which is publicly available at deckers.com/responsibility/policies. The content of our website, including our annual EEO-1 filing, is not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement or in any other report or document we file with the SEC.
Charitable Giving and Volunteering
Our charitable contributions, product donations, and employee volunteer efforts are an essential part of our culture. We annually contribute to our local communities through monetary donations, volunteer efforts and in-kind donations. During fiscal year 2026, we donated over $5.4 million to various non-profit organizations around the globe, primarily to organizations focused on uplifting youth, community, belonging, education, and the environment. We also continued our Art of Kindness events, where employees volunteer during a week-long event in our local communities. Despite having only one event during fiscal year 2026, our employees collectively volunteered approximately 10,500 hours. Our strategic giving and community-engagement efforts continued to be aligned with our sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Environmental, Social, and Governance
As a global leader in designing, marketing, and distributing innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories, our worldwide reach and impact is significant. We believe consumers are increasingly buying brands that deliver quality products while striving for minimal environmental impact by employing sustainable business practices. Our sustainability policies and strategies are informed by our ongoing efforts with multi-stakeholder initiatives, which involve our stockholders, employees, suppliers, and customers, as well as other brands and non-governmental organizations.
ESG Oversight
Our Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee oversees our ESG strategy and has oversight over all sustainability initiatives, strategies, and programs, including those related to climate change, human rights, community engagement, charitable giving, and belonging. The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee and Board regularly receive updates on the status of our ESG program. In addition, the Audit & Risk Management Committee periodically assesses risk management, including climate-related risks and policies, to ensure a consistent corporate strategy. The Board considers whether the ESG program adequately identifies material risks in a timely fashion, implements appropriate responsive risk management strategies, and ensures that management transmits necessary information with respect to material risks within the organization. Our Chief Administrative and Legal Officer is responsible for the day-to-day management of our ESG program. The program’s execution is driven by our leadership team and various cross-functional teams including our ethical sourcing, facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, brands, innovation, materials, and supply chain teams.
Our ESG program aligns our internal teams with our SDGs, which we adopt to guide our ESG strategy, and establishes policies to encourage our partners and suppliers to employ sustainable business practices. We annually assess risks related to ESG issues as part of our overall enterprise risk management approach. In addition, our internal audit team provides periodic targeted reviews of our ESG-related policies and procedures to the Audit & Risk Management Committee.
Sustainable Development Goals
We work to establish SDGs that we believe are the most relevant to our business, our operations, our stockholders, and the communities in which we operate. We are a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative. This membership requires an annual statement of progress, which is reflected in our Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report (Creating Change Report). Our Chief Administrative and Legal Officer identifies specific SDGs established by the UNGC, which we adopt to guide our ESG strategy.

In addition, during fiscal year 2026, we adopted a comprehensive Climate Transition Plan, reflecting our commitment to proactive environmental stewardship.
We recognize that agility and continuous improvement are essential to advancing our global ESG strategy, enabling us to respond effectively to evolving challenges and opportunities in sustainability.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Named Executive Officers
The following table sets forth our NEOs for fiscal year 2026, the current positions they hold and the dates they were appointed to those positions:

NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER | POSITION(S) | DATE APPOINTED
Stefano Caroti | • Chief Executive Officer and President • Principal Executive Officer | August 2024
• Director | September 2024
Steven J. Fasching | • Chief Financial Officer • Principal Financial and Accounting Officer | July 2018
Anne Spangenberg | • President, UGG | July 2022

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights
We delivered strong financial and operational results in fiscal year 2026, which are highlighted by the following:

•Total revenue growth of 9.8%, representing an increase of $487 million as compared to the prior year.
•HOKA brand revenue increased $354 million, or 15.9%, over the prior year.
•UGG brand revenue increased $207 million, or 8.2%, over the prior year.
•Diluted earnings per share increased 10.9%, or $0.69, over the prior year to $7.02.

Our strong performance over the past three fiscal years is illustrated by the financial and operational metrics in the graphs below. For each fiscal year, the information presented is for the 12-month period ended March 31.
(1) For reference, this financial metric is referred to as 'income from operations' in our Annual Report.
(2) For reference, this financial metric is referred to as 'total net sales' in our Annual Report.
The performance-based compensation earned during fiscal year 2026 was primarily a reflection of these results. Our annual cash incentive awards were based on consolidated operating income and revenue for certain executives (and consolidated operating income, business unit operating income, and business unit revenue for certain other executives with business unit oversight responsibilities), and our long-term incentive plan awards were based on consolidated pre-tax income and revenue. Our performance results produced annual cash incentive payouts of 152%, 166%, and 173% of the target for the HOKA, UGG and consolidated components, respectively, and our 2024 LTIP PSUs vested at 200% of the target. In addition, our total

|  | 33

stockholder return during the performance period remained above our peers, reflecting our ability to deliver consistent value to our stockholders.
We believe the direct correlation between our achievement of pre-determined financial metrics, and the actual compensation paid to our executives, highlights our consistent adherence to a strong pay-for-performance philosophy.
Our Business and Strategic Objectives
Our dedicated team has been able to successfully execute on our business strategy and achieve strong financial results over the past several fiscal years. We intend to continue investing strategically in key identified areas of growth within our brand portfolio, including the following:
•The HOKA brand, generating increased awareness and gaining global market share with innovative performance footwear and enhanced lifestyle product appeal, supported by greater localization of global marketing campaigns.
•The UGG brand, maintaining and building demand through the evolution of iconic product franchises across categories, with elevated consumer experiences and versatile products that increasingly resonate year-round.
•DTC capabilities, driving lifetime value by remaining closely connected to consumers.
•Technology and analytical tools, including the responsible use of AI, intended to support gains in productivity, efficiency, and consumer acquisition.
We intend to closely monitor planned investments in our business as we remain mindful of the dynamic macroeconomic environment. We remain committed to delivering long-term stockholder value through the continued execution of our strategies.
Fiscal Year 2026 Executive Compensation Highlights
The compensation program for fiscal year 2026 remained broadly consistent with prior years in its core objectives, overarching philosophy, compensation elements, and governance features.
The primary elements of our fiscal year 2026 executive compensation program were:
•Base salaries;
•Annual cash incentive awards (2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards); and
•Long-term equity incentive plan awards in the form of time-based restricted stock units (2026 Time-Based RSUs) and performance-based stock units (2026 LTIP PSUs).
The following table sets forth the key components of our executive compensation program for fiscal year 2026, and the underlying philosophy and considerations that provide the basis for our compensation decisions:

COMPENSATION COMPONENTS | PHILOSOPHY AND CONSIDERATIONS
Strong pay-for-performance alignment | • A significant portion of the overall compensation opportunity is structured as performance-based compensation tied directly to the achievement of Company financial and operational performance objectives established by the Committee. • Our compensation program is designed to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders and encourage the achievement of financial and strategic objectives aligned with creating long-term stockholder value.
Performance metrics closely aligned with strategic objectives | • In light of our continued strategic focus on increasing revenue and enhancing profitability, the Committee selected: (i) consolidated operating income and revenue for certain NEOs (and consolidated operating income, business unit operating income, and business unit revenue for certain other NEOs with business unit oversight responsibilities) as the performance metrics for the 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards, and (ii) consolidated pre-tax income and revenue for each of fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028 (three-year performance period) as the performance metrics for the 2026 LTIP PSUs.
Consideration of peer group data and advice of our independent compensation consultant | • We consider peer group compensation data in making executive compensation decisions, including with respect to both the target level of compensation and the overall structure of our executive compensation program. • Our independent compensation consultant provides information on competitive pay practices and makes recommendations regarding the design and structure of our compensation program, as well as the formulation of our peer group.

|  | 34

Balanced mix of performance metrics and measurement periods with focus on long-term performance-based vesting | • By establishing a combination of performance metrics assessed over one- and three-year periods, our compensation program encourages healthy and sustained growth across our business, and mitigates an undue focus on any single metric or timeframe. • For fiscal year 2026, approximately 60% of the value of the equity awards granted vest based on the achievement of Company performance conditions and the remainder vest over a long-term service period to encourage executive retention.
Reference to a "median" pay philosophy | • The Committee assesses target total compensation opportunity with reference to the peer-group median to ensure our compensation program remains competitive in the marketplace while mitigating compensation-related risks.
Use of long-term performance-based vesting for LTIP awards | • The 2026 LTIP PSU vesting is based on the achievement of pre-determined profitability and revenue metrics assessed each year over the three-year performance period. • The vesting of each LTIP award is also subject to positive or negative adjustment based upon the application of a TSR modifier, thereby correlating the vesting of the award to both total and relative stockholder returns.
2026 Annual Cash Incentive Award payout based on strong financial and operational results | • The 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards, which covered the one-year performance period ended March 31, 2026, were paid out at 152%, 166%, and 173% of target for HOKA, UGG, and consolidated components, respectively, reflecting strong financial and operational results.
2024 LTIP PSU vesting based on strong financial and operating results, and TSR | • The 2024 LTIP PSUs, which covered the three-year performance period ended March 31, 2026, were paid out at 200% of target, reflecting strong financial and operational results, as well as strong total stockholder return compared to peers.
Continued focus on executive retention | • While we seek to develop our executive compensation program so it closely aligns with our pay-for-performance philosophy, this objective must complement other critical objectives, including the retention of key executives.

Stockholder Engagement on Compensation Matters
The Committee believes transparent communication with our stockholders is critical to our long-term success. We solicit feedback from our stockholders throughout the year on various topics, including the design and effectiveness of our executive compensation program.
We believe our proactive engagement with stockholders, combined with our strong pay-for-performance alignment and compensation governance practices, has contributed to consistent, overwhelming stockholder support for our executive compensation program. Specifically, 92.7% and 92.3% of the votes cast supported our executive compensation program at our 2025 and 2024 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively. Our fiscal year 2026 executive compensation program reflects feedback received through our ongoing dialogue with stockholders.

COMPENSATION OBJECTIVE AND PHILOSOPHY

Compensation Program Objective
Pursuant to its charter, the Committee has overall responsibility for developing the compensation objective and philosophy applicable to our executive leadership team, and approving our executive compensation program and policies.
The primary objective of our executive compensation program, as established by the Committee, is to provide a compensation opportunity that will attract, retain and motivate talented executives with the skills needed to manage a complex and growing business in a competitive industry, while creating long-term value for our stockholders. In furtherance of this objective, the Committee seeks to design our executive compensation program in a manner that reflects direct alignment between the compensation opportunity provided to our executives and the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives. In addition, in order to attract and retain talented executives, the Committee endeavors to develop a compensation program that is competitive in the marketplace.
Compensation Program Philosophy
When establishing our executive compensation program each year, the Committee is generally guided by the following four principles that it believes align closely with our compensation objective:

PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE |  | ALIGN INTERESTS WITH STOCKHOLDERS
•Offer a significant portion of the compensation opportunity based on the achievement of pre-determined financial and operational performance objectives deemed by the Committee to be important for our long-term success. |  | •Align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by tying a significant portion of the compensation opportunity to performance that creates long-term stockholder value. •Ensure that a significant portion of the compensation opportunity is correlated with total and relative stockholder return.
REWARD ACHIEVEMENT |  | ATTRACT AND RETAIN EXECUTIVES
•Offer meaningful and appropriate incentives for achieving both short-term and long-term financial and operational goals that have been established by the Committee to reach our strategic objectives. •Ensure that the financial and operational goals are appropriate for each executive given their respective titles, scope of responsibilities, and ability to impact results. |  | •Attract key executives with the background and experience necessary to lead us and provide the best opportunity to achieve our strategic objectives. •Retain our key executives by offering compensation that is attractive and competitive in the marketplace, taking into consideration the competition for key executives and peer group pay practices.

Pay-for-Performance Alignment
For fiscal year 2026, fixed pay for our Chief Executive Officer (comprised of base salary) represented only 12% of his total target compensation opportunity for the year, while performance-based pay represented 88% of his total target compensation. The performance-based pay opportunities reflect a combination of the target value of the 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards, the target value of the 2026 LTIP PSUs, and the value of the 2026 Time-Based RSUs. The Committee believes it is appropriate to include the 2026 Time-Based RSUs because receipt of the full value is at risk since vesting is conditioned upon continued employment over an extended period of time, and the final value is subject to fluctuation based on the value of our stock.

|  | 36

The graphic below illustrates the amount of performance-based pay opportunity (calculated based on target value) versus fixed pay for our Chief Executive Officer for fiscal year 2026, as well as the breakdown of our various components of the compensation program on a percentage basis.
While the graphic addresses the relative mix of compensation for our Chief Executive Officer, the compensation opportunities for our other NEOs reflect a similarly strong weighting of performance-based compensation to fixed compensation, further confirming pay-for-performance alignment across our executive leadership team.

|  | 37

Governance Practices that Support Our Compensation Philosophy
We maintain the following governance components in our executive compensation program that we believe support our compensation objectives and philosophy, while also reducing compensation-related risk:

GOVERNANCE PRACTICE |  | WHAT WE DO
Independent Directors | ☑ | All of the members of our Board, other than our President and Chief Executive Officer, are independent directors under applicable NYSE rules.
Independent Talent & Compensation Committee | ☑ | The Committee consists entirely of independent directors who meet the independence standards set forth in applicable SEC and NYSE rules.
Independent Compensation Consultant | ☑ | The Committee has retained, and routinely consults with, an independent compensation consultant who assists the Committee in gathering competitive pay data, formulating our peer group, and structuring our executive compensation program.
Compensation Risk Assessment | ☑ | The Committee conducts a compensation risk analysis at least annually, but also takes into account compensation-related risks each time it grants compensation awards throughout the fiscal year.
Frequency of "Say-on-Pay" Vote | ☑ | We provide our stockholders the opportunity to provide feedback on our executive compensation program on an annual basis, which we then actively consider in formulating our compensation program.
Clawback and Forfeiture Policy | ☑ | We maintain a Clawback and Forfeiture Policy that applies to our cash and equity incentive awards, contributing to a Company culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability in financial reporting.
Stock Ownership Guidelines | ☑ | We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our NEOs and directors and routinely assess ongoing compliance.
No Insider Trading, Hedging and Pledging | ☑ | We maintain an Insider Trading Policy that prohibits directors, executive officers and employees from insider trading, entering into derivative transactions, hedging or pledging Company securities, or adopting similar practices.
Equity Grant Practices | ☑ | We have voluntarily adopted a Share-Based Grant Policy, which provides that we will seek to issue all grants during open trading windows, and only at a time when we are not in possession of material nonpublic information.
"Double Trigger" Payment and Vesting Provisions | ☑ | "Double-trigger" vesting provisions in change in control and severance agreements and equity award agreements only result in payments and vesting in the event of a change in control followed by a qualifying termination of employment.
No Tax Gross Ups | ☑ | Our change in control and severance agreements do not provide for excise tax gross up payments.
No Repricing of Awards | ☑ | Our equity incentive plan explicitly prohibits the repricing of equity awards without stockholder approval.
No Dividends on Unvested Equity Awards | ☑ | Our equity incentive plan does not provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested equity awards.
No Excessive Benefits or Perquisites | ☑ | We limit executive benefits and perquisites to those with a clear business rationale and we regularly review for market alignment.

|  | 38

COMPENSATION CONSULTANT AND PEER GROUP

Compensation Consultant
The Committee receives assessments and advice regarding our compensation practices and philosophy from its independent compensation consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (FW Cook). FW Cook provides information on competitive pay practices and trends in our industry, and makes recommendations regarding the formulation of our peer group, as well as the design and structure of our compensation program. The Committee meets regularly with FW Cook throughout the year, carefully reviews and assesses the materials provided by FW Cook, and engages in thorough deliberations with FW Cook and management regarding our executive compensation program.
While we are not obligated to retain an independent compensation consultant, the Committee believes the use of an independent consultant provides additional assurance that our executive compensation program is attractive and competitive in the marketplace, consistent with peer group practices and broader market conditions, aligned with our strategic objectives, and reflective of our executive compensation philosophy.
In accordance with applicable SEC rules, the Committee took various factors into consideration when selecting FW Cook, which it believes are relevant to its independence as a compensation consultant.
Furthermore, FW Cook does not provide any services to us or our management, other than those provided to the Committee. Following the consideration of these factors, and such additional factors as the Committee deemed appropriate under the circumstances, the Committee made an affirmative determination that FW Cook is independent and unanimously approved the engagement of FW Cook.
The decision to engage FW Cook was made by the Committee, and FW Cook reports directly to the Committee. While members of our management regularly communicate with representatives of FW Cook, our management did not recommend the engagement of FW Cook in any capacity for fiscal year 2026 (or any prior year) and does not direct or oversee the retention or termination of, or scope of the services provided by, FW Cook with respect to our executive compensation program.
Peer Group
In making compensation decisions for fiscal year 2026, the Committee compared the aggregate compensation opportunity, as well as each element of compensation, against a peer group of publicly traded footwear, apparel, accessories and lifestyle brand companies that was recommended by FW Cook and approved by the Committee. Our peer group is generally comprised of companies against which we compete for executive talent and stockholder investment, are in related businesses or industries, and are otherwise similar to us based on a number of characteristics identified by the Committee. Our peer group is reviewed at least annually by the Committee with support from FW Cook.
In particular, when selecting our peer group, the Committee considers the characteristics set forth in the chart below:
For fiscal year 2026, the Committee approved an updated peer group based on consideration of the various characteristics discussed above. In particular, changes were made to the peer group to reflect the relatively greater size and complexity of our organization compared to the prior year taking into account metrics such as revenue and market capitalization. While no single company in our peer group is necessarily similar to us with respect to all of the identified characteristics, taken together the Committee believed that these companies provided strong comparative analogs to our overall size and business model at the time the peer group was reviewed and approved.

|  | 39

Our peer group for fiscal year 2026, which we refer to as our Peer Group, consisted of the following 20 companies:

FISCAL YEAR 2026 PEER GROUP
• Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co. | • Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. | • Ralph Lauren Corporation | • Ulta Beauty, Inc.
• Capri Holdings Limited | • Foot Locker, Inc.(1) | • RH | • Under Armour, Inc.
• Columbia Sportswear Company | • Levi Strauss & Co. | • Skechers U.S.A., Inc.(1) | • Urban Outfitters, Inc.
• Crocs, Inc. | • Lululemon Athletica Inc. | • Steve Madden, Ltd. | • V.F. Corporation
• Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. | • PVH Corp. | • Tapestry, Inc. | • Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

(1) Skechers U.S.A., Inc. completed a going private transaction in September 2025. Foot Locker, Inc. was acquired in September 2025. In light of these transactions, these companies were removed from our peer group companies for fiscal year 2027. Our peer group companies for fiscal year 2027 are otherwise the same as our peer group companies for fiscal year 2026.
Use of Peer Group in Setting Executive Compensation
As part of its effort to ensure our executive compensation program is attractive and competitive in the marketplace, the Committee regularly reviews compensation data from our Peer Group provided by FW Cook. Peer Group compensation data is generally used as an initial starting point in making compensation decisions for our executives, including with respect to both the target level of total compensation for each individual executive and the overall structure of our executive compensation program. In addition, in order to gain perspective on overall market trends and practices, the Committee regularly reviews data from broad-based compensation surveys.
Consistent with prior years, in setting the target compensation opportunity for each executive for fiscal year 2026, as well as reviewing individual elements of compensation, the Committee used the median pay of our Peer Group as an important reference point.
Although an assessment of Peer Group compensation data is a significant factor in the Committee’s evaluation, the Committee also considers a variety of additional factors, including the tenure, experience, level of responsibility and individual performance of each executive, recent and projected Company performance, retention considerations, general industry practices and economic conditions. Accordingly, the Committee retains discretion to set both the total compensation opportunity and individual elements of compensation as it deems appropriate.

2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards
The following table provides summary information regarding the 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards granted to our NEOs during fiscal year 2026:

COMPENSATION ELEMENT 2026 ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS
Compensation Type | Description | Performance Conditions | Pay-for-Performance Alignment
• Performance-Based (Short-Term Company Performance Conditions) • Cash | • Based on performance relative to short-term Company performance conditions based on annual metrics derived from our strategic plan. • Actual payout based on achievement relative to the threshold, target and maximum Company financial performance levels established by the Committee to reward achievement and strike appropriate balance between compensation incentives and risks. • The "target" performance level is typically in line with the level of Company performance projected for each metric based on our annual budget. • The "target" performance levels typically reflect an increase to actual performance relative to the prior fiscal year. • All NEOs have operating income and revenue-based performance metrics to reflect a continued focus on profitability and top line growth as key strategic initiatives, and ensure our compensation program encourages healthy and sustained growth across our business. • Reliance on multiple performance-based vesting conditions strikes appropriate balance between compensation incentives and risks. | • Target bonus set as percentage of base salary. • Actual bonus payout is based on achievement of fiscal year 2026 consolidated operating income and revenue targets for certain NEOs (and consolidated operating income, business unit operating income, and business unit revenue targets for certain other NEOs with business unit oversight responsibilities). • The Committee assigned relative weighting to each component, which is expressed as a percentage of the target cash incentive amount. • No component of the payout will be made unless the pre-established minimums for both consolidated operating income and consolidated revenue have been achieved. • For threshold performance, 50% of the cash incentive related to that component would be earned. For target performance, 100% would be earned. For maximum performance, 200% would be earned. • Achievement below threshold level results in no payout for that component. To the extent Company financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels, the bonus payout that will be earned from the threshold to the target, and from the target to the maximum, will increase as determined by linear interpolation. | • The achievement of operating income targets for fiscal year 2026 for our HOKA, UGG, and consolidated operating income components was 146%, 168%, and 192%, respectively. • The achievement of revenue targets for fiscal year 2026 for our HOKA, UGG, and consolidated revenue components was 119%, 135%, and 127%, respectively. • As a result of this performance, 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Award payments of 152%, 166%, and 173% of base salary were earned by our NEOs for our HOKA, UGG and consolidated components, respectively. • Additional information regarding the determination of the target cash incentive amount and the calculation of the actual 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards for each NEO is provided below.

|  | 42

Target Cash Incentive Amount
The Committee establishes a target amount of annual cash incentive compensation for each NEO, which is expressed as a percentage of base salary. The percentage is determined by the Committee by reference to a number of factors, including tenure, experience and level of responsibility, Peer Group benchmarking data, recent individual performance, our recent and projected financial performance, retention considerations and general industry practices. Further, the target cash incentive amount is pro-rated to reflect any base salary and annual cash incentive percentage adjustments, if applicable, throughout the full fiscal year so that the target amount reflects actual base salary earned.
Performance Relative to Targets
The following table summarizes the performance conditions for the 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards (components), the relative weighting of each component for each NEO; the threshold, target and maximum performance levels established by the Committee for each component; and the actual payout percentage for each component:

COMPONENT | RELATIVE WEIGHTING FOR EACH NEO | THRESHOLD PERFORMANCE | TARGET PERFORMANCE | MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE | PERFORMANCE & PAYOUT(1)
Consolidated Operating Income | • 70% for Messrs. Caroti, Fasching and Garcia • 30% for Mses. Spangenberg and Spring-Green | $959.59 million | $1,066.21 million | $1,279.45 million | $1,262.90 million, resulting in a payout of 192%
Consolidated Revenue | • 30% for Messrs. Caroti, Fasching and Garcia | $4,903.97 million | $5,330.40 million | $5,863.44 million | $5,472.30 million, resulting in a payout of 127%
Business Unit Operating Income | • 40% for Ms. Spangenberg (UGG) | $827.57 million | $919.52 million | $1,103.42 million | $1,045.33 million, resulting in a payout of 168%
• 40% for Ms. Spring-Green (HOKA) | $750.90 million | $834.33 million | $1,001.20 million | $910.98 million, resulting in a payout of 146%
Business Unit Revenue | • 30% for Ms. Spangenberg (UGG) | $2,434.47 million | $2,646.16 million | $2,910.77 million | $2,738.76 million, resulting in a payout of 135%
• 30% for Ms. Spring-Green (HOKA) | $2,312.81 million | $2,513.92 million | $2,891.01 million | $2,587.33 million, resulting in a payout of 119%

(1) Payout percentages reflect the level of payout achieved for each component of the 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Award. Payout amounts based on achievement between threshold and target levels, or between target and maximum levels, are determined by linear interpolation. Achievement below threshold levels results in no payout for that component.

|  | 43

Calculation of Total Payout
The amount of cash incentive compensation actually earned by each NEO with respect to the 2026 Annual Cash Incentive Awards (total payout) is calculated by multiplying each NEO's relative weighting for each component by the percentage of target earned for each component (using linear interpolation), resulting in an overall weighted achievement percentage, and multiplying the target cash incentive amount by the weighted achievement percentage, resulting in the payout amount for each component. The payout for each component is then added together to determine the total payout. The total payout is capped at 200% for each NEO.
The calculation of total payout for each NEO is illustrated by the table below:

NAME | TARGET % OF SALARY(1) | COMPONENT | RELATIVE WEIGHTING OF COMPONENT | % OF TARGET EARNED FOR COMPONENT | OVERALL WEIGHTED ACHIEVEMENT | TARGET CASH INCENTIVE AMOUNT | PAYOUT FOR EACH COMPONENT |  | TOTAL PAYOUT
Stefano Caroti | 175% | Consolidated Operating Income | 70% | 192% | 173% | $1,463,623 | $2,813,669 |  | $3,607,915
Consolidated Revenue | 30% | 127% | $627,267 | $794,246
Steven J. Fasching | 100% | Consolidated Operating Income | 70% | 192% | 173% | $616,106 | $1,184,403 |  | $1,518,738
Consolidated Revenue | 30% | 127% | $264,046 | $334,335
Anne Spangenberg | 100% | Consolidated Operating Income | 30% | 192% | 166% | $244,508 | $470,042 |  | $1,349,139
UGG Operating Income | 40% | 168% | $326,011 | $549,035
UGG Revenue | 30% | 135% | $244,508 | $330,062
Robin Spring-Green | 100% | Consolidated Operating Income | 30% | 192% | 152% | $191,974 | $369,052 |  | $971,961
HOKA Operating Income | 40% | 146% | $255,966 | $373,557
HOKA Revenue | 30% | 119% | $191,975 | $229,352
Thomas Garcia | 75% | Consolidated Operating Income | 70% | 192% | 173% | $364,882 | $701,450 |  | $899,455
Consolidated Revenue | 30% | 127% | $156,378 | $198,006

(1) In July 2025, the target cash incentive amount, which is reflected as a percentage of base salary, increased from 150% to 175% for Mr. Caroti, and from 75% to 100% for Ms. Spring-Green. For these executives, the total payout amount reflects the achievement of a pro-rated target cash incentive amount for the fiscal year.

2026 Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
The following table provides summary information regarding the 2026 Time-Based RSUs granted to our NEOs during fiscal year 2026:

COMPENSATION ELEMENT 2026 TIME-BASED RSUs
Compensation Type | Description | Vesting Provisions | Pay-for-Performance Alignment
• Performance-Based (Long-Term Time-Based Vesting) . • Approximately 40% of total equity compensation to encourage executive retention | • Balance mix of equity awards with performance-based vesting and time-based vesting to properly manage our compensation-related risk. • Primarily used for retention of our executives based on long-term service-based vesting condition. • Equity awards with three-year vesting are customary among our Peer Group and within the marketplace generally. | • 2026 Time-Based RSUs vest in three equal annual installments over three years commencing August 15, 2026 conditioned upon continued employment through the relevant vesting dates. | • Our NEOs are at risk of not receiving the full value of these awards because vesting is conditioned upon continued employment over an extended period of time and their value is subject to fluctuation based on the value of our stock. • The Committee expects a majority of equity awards to continue to have performance-based vesting conditions.

|  | 45

2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan Performance-Based Stock Units
The following table provides summary information regarding the 2026 LTIP PSUs granted to our NEOs during fiscal year 2026:

COMPENSATION ELEMENT 2026 LTIP PSUs
Compensation Type | Description | Performance Conditions/ Vesting Provisions | Pay-for-Performance Alignment
• Performance-Based (Long-Term Performance-Based Vesting) • Approximately 60% of total equity compensation to ensure a majority of our compensation opportunity is based on achievement of performance-based vesting conditions | • Vesting based on performance relative to long-term Company performance conditions based on metrics derived from our three-year long-range strategic plan approved at the beginning of the performance measurement period. • Consolidated pre-tax income and revenue were selected as the performance conditions because they support our focus on profitability and top line growth as key strategic initiatives and align executives’ interests with the execution of our long-range plan. • Reliance on multiple performance-based vesting conditions strikes appropriate balance between compensation incentives and risks. | • 50% of each award will vest subject to the achievement of annual pre-tax income targets measured in fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028. • 50% of each award will vest subject to the achievement of annual consolidated revenue targets measured in fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028. • While we measure performance annually over the three-year period, the goals for each fiscal year are established at the beginning of the performance measurement period. We believe this approach encourages value creation for stockholders over a multi-year period, as the annual goals are set progressively higher each year. • No vesting of any portion of the award will occur if we fail to achieve the pre-established minimum pre-tax income and revenue targets. To the extent our financial performance is achieved above the threshold amounts, the number of LTIP PSUs that will vest from the threshold to the target, and from the target to the maximum, will increase as determined by linear interpolation. • Vesting is subject to adjustment based upon the application of a TSR modifier. The TSR modifier was designed to impact payouts within the range of +25% to -25% based on our TSR relative to the TSR of a predetermined set of peer group companies. • The executive must provide continued service through the vesting date. | • Vesting of these awards is dependent on achievement of profitability and consolidated revenue targets that are established by the Committee at the beginning of the measurement period and are consistent with achievement of our strategic objectives. • TSR modifier correlates the vesting of the awards to both total and relative stockholder returns. • Commencing with the LTIP PSUs to be issued during fiscal year 2027, the Committee intends to shift to measuring cumulative performance over the full three-year period rather than interim measurement on an annual basis. We believe this approach further enhances our philosophy of encouraging long-term value creation.

Total Stockholder Return (TSR) Modifier
The 2026 LTIP PSU awards earned are subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the application of a TSR modifier. The amount of the adjustment will be determined based upon a comparison of Company TSR relative to the TSR of a pre-determined set of peer group companies for the three-year performance period commencing on April 1, 2025 and ending on March 31, 2028. For purposes of this modifier, the peers consist of the same companies included in the Peer Group, plus two additional companies, Nike, Inc. and Adidas AG. The Committee selected these additional companies because it believes we compete with them for stockholder investment and that our TSR should be measured relative to them.

|  | 46

Company TSR relative to that of the TSR peer group (Peer Group TSR) is calculated and expressed as a percentile. The number of 2026 LTIP PSUs that are subject to vesting will be adjusted based on this percentile as set forth in the table:

Company TSR Relative to Peer Group TSR (Percentile) |  | TSR Modifier (Multiplier)
≥75th |  | 125%
55th |  | 100% (no modification)
≤25th |  | 75%

The number of LTIP PSUs that will vest from the 25th percentile to the 55th percentile, and from the 55th percentile to the 75th percentile, will increase as determined by linear interpolation. The TSR modifier may not exceed 125% regardless of the Company's absolute or relative TSR performance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Company TSR is greater than or equal to the 55th percentile relative to the Peer Group TSR, but Company TSR is a negative amount, the TSR modifier will not be applied (the number of 2026 LTIP PSUs to be vested will not be increased as a result of the TSR multiplier). In addition, regardless of Company TSR relative to the Peer Group TSR, the maximum number of 2026 LTIP PSUs that will vest will not exceed 200% of the target amount. The Committee believes these guardrails are appropriate to balance the desire to use the TSR modifier to align the interests of executives with those of our stockholders while also mitigating compensation-related risk.

• Standard severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination of employment upon the occurrence of certain events. | • Value of potential payments and benefits takes into account the expected time it takes a separated executive to find a similar position. • "Double-trigger" provisions in change in control and severance agreements and equity award agreements preserve morale and productivity, encourage executive retention in the face of the potentially disruptive impact of a change in control transaction, and reflect a sound governance practice. • Typical component of a competitive executive compensation program for executives among our Peer Group and within the marketplace generally. | Change in Control and Severance Agreements: • Provide for certain cash payments, vesting of certain equity awards and benefit reimbursement, in the event of a termination of employment upon the occurrence of certain events, including a change in control transaction. Equity Award Agreements: • Provide for accelerated vesting of awards upon a change in control transaction if the executive is terminated in connection with the transaction under specified circumstances. In addition, vesting of awards will be accelerated if the acquiring entity does not agree to provide for the assumption or substitution of the awards. • LTIP PSUs are only subject to accelerated vesting at "target" level to avoid excessive payouts that could be an impediment to a favorable transaction. • Certain awards provide for continued or pro rata vesting in connection with a termination of employment upon death or disability, or retirement, subject to certain conditions. • Please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement titled "—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control" for additional information about the change in control and severance provisions applicable to our NEOs.

OTHER COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
At the request of the Committee, our Chief Executive Officer and President, or other senior management personnel, may provide performance and compensation information to the Committee to inform its compensation decisions. However, our executives are not permitted to be present during any deliberations and voting regarding their own compensation, or during any executive sessions of the Committee when compensation decisions are taking place. The Committee considers the information provided by our management, as well as information and advice provided by FW Cook, when making compensation decisions for our NEOs and other executives. However, the Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, thoroughly evaluates and approves all elements of compensation for our NEOs and other executives.
Compensation Risk Assessment
The Committee is responsible for reviewing the payments that may be made and the value that may be received from our compensation program to assess whether the program encourages excessive or unnecessary risk-taking. The Committee conducts a compensation risk analysis at least annually, but also takes into account compensation-related risks each time it grants compensation awards throughout the fiscal year. In conducting these assessments, the Committee considers a number of factors including the following:
•Our compensation program consists of elements that provide both fixed and performance-based compensation, and the Committee reviews these elements and the relative mix annually.
•We review our Peer Group compensation data regularly to assess our executives' total compensation opportunities, and ensure our compensation program is appropriate and competitive.
•A majority of the equity awards granted by the Committee have performance-based vesting conditions and we expect to continue to incorporate this equity grant philosophy..
•All of our performance-based awards are earned based on the achievement of pre-established consolidated and business unit performance goals, and the 2026 LTIP PSUs are subject to upward or downward modification based on the application of a TSR modifier.
•We seek to limit overlap between our performance conditions and measurement periods to ensure our compensation program encourages healthy and sustained growth across our business, as well as over multiple time periods.
•Our performance-based awards are subject to maximum award amounts to cap the potential compensation amount associated with an award.
•Our executive compensation program encourages executive retention through long-term vesting provisions.
•Our change in control and severance benefits are designed to attract and retain executives without providing excessive benefits such as excise tax gross up payments.
The Committee believes our executive compensation program is appropriately balanced and does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking. The Committee does not believe our compensation program is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
Clawback and Forfeiture Policy
We have adopted a Clawback and Forfeiture Policy (Clawback Policy) that is compliant with SEC and NYSE rules. The Clawback Policy is consistent with our executive compensation philosophy, which seeks to reward executive officers for financial and operational performance that creates value for our stockholders. Under the Clawback Policy, we will seek recoupment or reimbursement with respect to incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers when the following three factors exist:
•the restatement of our financial statements has occurred, which was required as a result of, or necessitated by, any material noncompliance by us with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws (accounting restatement);
•incentive-based compensation was received by the executive officer during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the earlier of the date (1) the Board concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement, or (2) a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs us to prepare an accounting restatement (recovery period), after beginning service as an executive officer, provided such

|  | 49

executive officer served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period from which such incentive-based compensation was derived; and
•a lower amount of incentive-based compensation would have been received by the executive officer based upon the financial results as restated in the accounting restatement.
Under the Clawback Policy, the accounting restatement does not need to be the result of misconduct by the executive officers for the recoupment to apply.
The recoupment or recovery to be sought by us will be equal to the portion of any incentive-based compensation received by such executive officer for or during the recovery period that is greater than the amount that would have been received had the financial results been properly reported.
In addition, the Committee may seek to recoup or recover from an employee certain incentive-based compensation previously paid or awarded if the Audit & Risk Management Committee determines the employee has engaged in significant misconduct that causes financial or reputational harm to us (regardless of whether an accounting restatement has occurred).
Stock Ownership Guidelines
To further align the interests of our NEOs and directors with those of our stockholders, we have voluntarily adopted stock ownership guidelines. The Committee periodically reviews these guidelines to ensure they continue to reflect governance best practices, as well as any recent changes to our executive compensation program.
NEOs are required to hold a number of shares of our common stock determined as a multiple of the NEO's base salary as of the beginning of each calendar year, subject to such exceptions as may be granted by the Committee. Unless and until an NEO reaches the required ownership level, the NEO must retain at least 75% of the equity awards, after payment of any applicable exercise price and tax withholdings, that are acquired through our equity compensation program.
Directors are required to hold a number of shares of our common stock determined as a multiple of the base annual board cash retainer (not taking into account fees for committee or Chair roles) within five years of joining our Board, subject to such exceptions as may be granted by the Committee. In addition, each director must hold shares of our common stock within one year of joining our Board.
The following table provides a summary of the stock ownership guidelines applicable to our NEOs and directors:

POSITION | STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES
Chief Executive Officer | 6x Annual Base Salary
Other NEOs | 3x Annual Base Salary
Directors | 5x Annual Board Cash Retainer

The Committee periodically reviews compliance with the stock ownership guidelines applicable to our NEOs and directors and, as of the end of fiscal year 2026, determined that each NEO and director complied with the minimum ownership thresholds.
No Insider Trading
Our Insider Trading Policy governs purchases, sales, and other dispositions of our securities by our directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits purchases, sales, and other dispositions of our securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about us and from disclosing such information to others, and it prohibits trading on material nonpublic information of other companies, industries, or sectors obtained during the course of providing service to us. It also imposes additional restrictions on and requirements for trading in our securities by our insiders. We believe our Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE listing standards. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report.
In addition, with regard to repurchases of our shares, it is our policy to comply with applicable federal securities laws and NYSE listing standards.
No Hedging and Pledging
Pursuant to our Insider Trading Policy, our directors, executive officers, employees and consultants are prohibited from engaging in short-term or speculative trading in our securities, including entering into hedging transactions or derivative instruments designed to offset or reduce the risk of a decline in the market value of our securities. This includes the use of put or call options, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, and short sales.

|  | 50

Our policy also prohibits pledging our securities as collateral for a loan, including holding such securities in margin accounts.
These restrictions are designed to avoid even the appearance of impropriety and reduce the risk of inadvertent insider trading violations.
Equity Grant Practices
We maintain disciplined equity grant practices designed to maintain transparency and align with stockholder interests. We have voluntarily adopted a Share-Based Grant Policy, which establishes guidelines for our equity award grant practices. The guidelines provide that we will only make grants at a time when we are not in possession of material nonpublic information, such as pending earnings results or information regarding significant transactions or events. In addition, we generally do not make equity grants during (i) trading blackout periods under our Insider Trading Policy, or (ii) the period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of our periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information.
Equity awards are typically granted on pre-established dates each year, subject to limited exceptions approved by the Committee. Our executive officers and directors are not permitted to select individual grant dates for awards issued to them.
During fiscal year 2026, no equity awards were granted to our NEOs during any period surrounding the disclosure of material nonpublic information as described above, and we did not time the release of such information to impact the value of equity compensation.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Among the factors it considers when making executive compensation decisions, the Committee considers the anticipated tax and accounting impact to us (and to our executive officers) of various payments, equity awards, and other benefits. In particular, it considers the deductibility of compensation as a factor in assessing whether a particular compensation arrangement is appropriate, considering our objectives to motivate executives to achieve Company performance conditions, increase stockholder value and maintain a competitive executive compensation program.
The Committee also considers the impact of Section 409A of the Code. In general, our executive plans and programs are designed to comply with the requirements of that section so as to avoid possible adverse tax consequences that may result from noncompliance.
We account for equity awards in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) Topic 718, Stock Compensation.
Our change in control and severance agreements do not provide for excise tax gross up payments or similar benefits.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
The Committee has adopted the Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (NQDC Plan), which is an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation program sponsored by us to provide certain members of our management the opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation. Participants may defer up to 50% of their annual base salary and up to 95% of any cash incentive award under the NQDC Plan. We have the option, but not the obligation, to make discretionary or matching cash contributions to NQDC Plan participants. The NQDC Plan year is from January 1 to December 31.
During fiscal year 2026, certain of our NEOs elected to make contributions to the NQDC Plan, and the Committee elected to match a portion of the contributions.
The following table provides information regarding activity pursuant to the NQDC Plan during fiscal year 2026, including executive contributions and matching contributions made during the fiscal year, aggregate gains made during the fiscal year, and the balance held by each NEO as of the end of the fiscal year.

(1)The amounts reported in this column reflect contributions made by our NEOs under the NQDC Plan during fiscal year 2026. These amounts are included in the "Summary Compensation Table" and do not reflect amounts earned in addition to those amounts.
(2)The amounts reported in this column reflect discretionary matching contributions made by us to our NEOs under the NQDC Plan during fiscal year 2026. These amounts are included in the "Summary Compensation Table" and do not reflect amounts earned in addition to those amounts.
Deferred Stock Unit Compensation Plan
The Committee has also adopted a Deferred Stock Unit Compensation Plan (Deferral Plan). Under the Deferral Plan, a director or employee who holds unvested stock units may elect to defer settlement of up to 100% of the shares underlying the stock units upon vesting. For each share underlying a stock unit that is deferred, the participant will receive one deferred stock unit. Amounts deferred will be settled and distributed, at the time elected by the participant, subject to the terms of the Deferral Plan. None of our NEOs elected to participate in the Deferral Plan during fiscal year 2026.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

Change in Control and Severance Agreements
We have entered into change in control and severance agreements (as amended from time to time, the Severance Agreements) with each of our NEOs. The information below describes the compensation and benefits, as of March 31, 2026 (unless otherwise noted), that will become payable to or earned by our NEOs under the Severance Agreements upon the occurrence of certain termination events. For purposes of the Severance Agreements, we refer to each NEO as an “executive.”
Termination by Us for Cause, or by the Executive Without Good Reason
If the executive is terminated by us for Cause, or the executive terminates his or her employment without Good Reason (in each case, as defined in the Severance Agreement), the executive will receive:
•payment of his or her accrued base salary;
•accrued vacation;
•reimbursement for certain expenses;
•accrued and vested benefits payable under our compensation plans or programs and any other benefits required to be paid or provided by applicable law;
•accrued but unpaid cash incentive award for the prior fiscal year (excluding any cash incentive award for the year of termination); and
•the right to exercise all vested equity awards pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement (without any accelerated vesting of such awards or extension of any relevant exercise period).
Termination Due to Death or Total Disability
If the executive is terminated due to his or her death or Total Disability (as defined in the Severance Agreement), then in addition to those benefits provided upon a termination by us for Cause or by the executive other than for Good Reason, the executive will receive:
•a pro-rated portion of his or her cash incentive award for the current fiscal year based on actual length of service during the year of termination and the target amount of such cash incentive award as previously established by the Committee; and
•continued vesting of certain outstanding equity awards as described under the section of this Proxy Statement titled “—Equity Award Agreements” below.
Termination by Us Without Cause
If the executive is terminated by us without Cause, then in addition to those benefits provided upon a termination due to death or Total Disability, the executive will receive:
•payment of his or her then-effective annual base salary for, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, 24 months, or, in the case of any other executive, 12 months following his or her termination, commencing within 60 days of the termination date, subject to such executive signing a release; and
•receipt of health benefits for, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, up to 24 months, or, in the case of any other executive, up to 12 months following his or her termination, or his or her attainment of alternative employment that provides health benefits, whichever occurs earlier.
Termination Without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason in Connection With a Change in Control
If the executive is terminated by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason within two years of a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement), then in addition to those benefits provided upon a termination due to death or Total Disability, the executive will receive:
•payment of, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two and one-half times, or, in the case of any other executive, two times his or her then-effective annual base salary plus the greater of (x) one and one-half times the target cash incentive award immediately prior to the time such termination occurs or (y) one and one-half times the average actual cash incentive award for the previous three years, subject to such executive signing a release;
•receipt of health benefits for, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, up to 30 months, or, in the case of any other executive, up to 24 months following his or her termination, or his or her attainment of alternative employment that provides health benefits, whichever occurs earlier; and

|  | 58

•accelerated vesting of certain outstanding equity awards as described under the section of this Proxy Statement titled “—Equity Award Agreements” below.
No NEOs will be entitled to gross ups for excise tax penalties on “excess golden parachute payments” as a result of termination following a Change in Control.
Recent Amendments to Change in Control and Severance Agreements
Effective June 2026, following a review of Peer Group practices and to ensure continued market competitiveness, we entered into amended Severance Agreements with our NEOs. The amended Severance Agreements are generally consistent with the terms of the prior Severance Agreements, but included the following changes:
•If the executive is terminated by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason within two years of a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement), then in addition to those benefits provided upon a termination due to death or Total Disability and the health benefits and accelerated vesting of equity awards summarized above, the executive will receive payment of, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two and one-half times, or, in the case of any other executive, two times his or her then-effective annual base salary plus the greater of (x) in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two and one-half times, or, in the case of any other executive, two times the target cash incentive award immediately prior to the time such termination occurs or (y) in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two and one-half times, or, in the case of any other executive, two times the average actual cash incentive award for the previous three years, subject to such executive signing a release.
Equity Award Agreements
We enter into award agreements with our NEOs each time awards are issued to them pursuant to our equity incentive plans (Equity Award Agreements). The Equity Award Agreements include the award agreements governing our Time-Based RSUs (RSU Award Agreements) and the award agreements governing our LTIP PSUs (PSU Award Agreements). The information below summarizes the vesting provisions applicable to our equity awards upon the occurrence of certain employment termination events. Except as described below, when an executive’s employment is terminated, all awards that have not vested as of the termination date will automatically expire pursuant to the Equity Award Agreements.
Termination in Connection with a Corporate Transaction
Pursuant to the Equity Award Agreements if, in connection with a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the Equity Award Agreements), an acquiring or successor entity provides for the continuance or assumption of the award (Assumed Awards), or the substitution of the award for a comparable value covering new incentives (Substitute Awards), then vesting of the unvested portion of the award shall not accelerate.
However, pursuant to the “double-trigger” vesting provisions of the Equity Award Agreements, if the acquiring or successor entity in the Corporate Transaction provides for Assumed Awards or Substitute Awards, and the executive is terminated by the acquiring or successor entity company without Cause or pursuant to a Constructive Termination (in each case, as defined in the applicable Equity Award Agreements) within 24 months following such Corporate Transaction, then the vesting of such award will be accelerated in full upon termination. For purposes of the PSU Award Agreements, the award will be accelerated with respect to the target number of shares subject to the agreement regardless of the level of achievement relative to the performance conditions. In addition, if the executive continues to provide service to the acquiring or successor entity through the end of the performance period (regardless of whether a termination of employment has occurred), the target number of shares subject to the agreement shall vest regardless of the level of achievement relative to the performance conditions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of each equity award will be accelerated in full if the acquiring or successor entity in the Corporate Transaction does not agree to provide for Assumed Awards or Substitute Awards. For purposes of the PSU Award Agreements, the award will be accelerated as to the target number of shares subject to the agreement regardless of the level of achievement relative to the applicable performance conditions.
Termination Due to Death or Disability
Pursuant to the Equity Award Agreements, if there is termination of employment due to death or Disability, (as defined in the Company's 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 SIP") and the Company's 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2024 SIP"), then a pro-rata portion of the awards that remain unvested shall become vested effective upon the date of termination. The pro-rata portion of the awards is calculated based on the number of months of continuous service provided by the executive prior to the termination date relative to the number of months in the applicable vesting period, in the case of the RSU Award Agreements, or the applicable performance period, in the case of the PSU Award Agreements. For purposes of the PSU Award Agreements, the awards do not provide for acceleration, but a pro-rata portion of the awards will vest on the scheduled vesting date if the applicable performance metrics are satisfied for such performance-based equity awards by the end of the applicable performance period stated in the agreement.

|  | 59

Termination Upon Retirement
Pursuant to the RSU Award Agreements, if, following the initial vesting date under the agreement, an executive both attains the age of 62 and completes 10 years of continuous service to us (Retirement), then all unvested awards shall remain outstanding and continue to vest on the vesting dates set forth in the agreement, subject to meeting certain conditions. Pursuant to the PSU Award Agreements, in connection with a Retirement, a pro-rata portion of the awards shall vest on the scheduled vesting date if the applicable performance metrics are satisfied for such awards by the end of the applicable performance period stated in the agreement, subject to meeting certain conditions. The pro-rata portion of the awards is calculated based on the number of months of continuous service provided by the executive prior to the termination date relative to the number of months in the applicable performance period.

Change in Control and Severance Payments
The following table provides information about the compensation and benefits that would have been paid or provided to our NEOs in the event a termination of employment had occurred on March 31, 2026 upon the occurrence of the various termination events described in the table. The value of the compensation and benefits has been determined by reference to the terms of the applicable Severance Agreements and Equity Award Agreements.
The amounts reflected in the table are in addition to amounts that would have been paid for accrued but unpaid base salary, accrued vacation, accrued and vested benefits under our compensation plans or programs, accrued but unpaid cash incentive awards, and reimbursement of expenses. Except as described above, no payments or benefits would be provided to our NEOs in the event of a termination of employment for Cause or termination by our NEOs without Good Reason.
For purposes of the table, the value of the equity awards has been determined based on the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2026 based on the assumption the termination of employment had occurred on that date. In the event of an actual termination of employment, including in connection with a Change in Control, the value of our common stock may be significantly different than this assumed value, in which case the value realized by our NEOs upon the vesting of the equity awards may be significantly higher or lower.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Committee is responsible for approving the compensation program applicable to our directors who are not our employees (Nonemployee Directors). The primary objective of the Nonemployee Director compensation program is to provide a compensation opportunity that is competitive in the marketplace, and will attract and retain directors with the skills and experience necessary to assist us in achieving our strategic objectives.
For fiscal year 2026, Nonemployee Directors received an annual cash retainer of $90,000 for service on the Board, plus an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for each Board committee assignment. Nonemployee Directors holding the following positions received additional annual cash retainers: $200,000 for Chair of our Board; $40,000 for Chair of our Audit & Risk Management Committee; $35,000 for Chair of our Talent & Compensation Committee; and $27,500 for Chair of our Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee. All or any portion of the cash retainers paid to any of our Nonemployee Directors may, at the election of the director, be paid through the issuance of our common stock.
Each of our Nonemployee Directors is also entitled to receive common stock with a total value of approximately $170,000 for annual service on our Board. The shares are issued in equal quarterly installments with the number of shares determined using the rolling average of the closing price of our common stock during the last 10 trading days leading up to, and including, the grant date. Each of these shares is fully vested on the date of issuance. Where our Nonemployee Directors elect to be paid their annual cash retainer fees in shares of our common stock, the number of shares to be issued is calculated using the same valuation methodology.
In January 2026, following a review of Peer Group practices and to ensure continued market competitiveness, the Board approved an increase in the annual equity grant from approximately $170,000 to approximately $190,000, effective as of April 1, 2026. The number of shares will be determined using the same valuation methodology described above.
Nonemployee Directors are reimbursed for reasonable Board-related expenses. Nonemployee Directors also receive product discounts on terms similar to those offered to our employees and, from time to time, may receive products without charge in order to help expand their knowledge of our products.
Director Compensation Table
The following table sets forth all compensation paid or awarded to our Nonemployee Directors during fiscal year 2026. The amounts set forth in the table have been calculated in accordance with applicable SEC rules, and do not necessarily reflect the amounts that have actually been paid to, or which may be realized by, our Nonemployee Directors.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

The following table sets forth information regarding our existing equity compensation plans as of March 31, 2026.

Plan category | Number of securities to be issued upon settlement of LTIP PSUs and Time-Based RSUs(1)(2) (#) | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance(3) (#)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders | 915,896 |  | 13,401,182 |
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders | — |  | — |
Total | 915,896 |  | 13,401,182 |

(1)This column reflects the aggregate number of shares underlying all equity awards outstanding pursuant to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 EIP), 2015 SIP and 2024 SIP. For awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the amount reported reflects the number of shares to be issued assuming the relevant performance conditions are achieved at the maximum level, which is equal to 200% of the target amount. In the event the performance conditions for any applicable award are achieved below the maximum level, the number of shares reflected in this column will decrease and the number of shares in the last column will increase by a corresponding amount.
(2)There are no outstanding stock appreciation rights or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
(3)This column reflects (i) the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 SIP less the number of shares to be issued upon vesting and settlement of LTIP PSUs and Time-Based RSUs as reported in the first column, plus (ii) the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This amount is subject to increase depending on our achievement with respect to certain performance conditions as discussed in footnote 1 above, and will also increase to the extent any awards are forfeited or otherwise terminated under the 2015 SIP or for shares withheld for taxes pursuant to the recycling features set forth in the 2024 SIP. No new equity awards may be issued under the 2006 EIP or the 2015 SIP.

CEO PAY RATIO

General
Pursuant to Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our principal executive officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (excluding our principal executive officer), or our median employee. For fiscal year 2026, our principal executive officer was Stefano Caroti, our Chief Executive Officer and President.
Annual Total Compensation
For fiscal year 2026, the annual total compensation of our principal executive officer was $11,904,992, and the annual total compensation of our median employee was $51,638. The annual total compensation for our principal executive officer is consistent with the amount reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.
Pay Ratio
Based on this information, the fiscal year 2026 ratio of the annual total compensation of our principal executive officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee was approximately 231:1.
Determination of Median Employee; Applicable Exemptions
Consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we identified our median employee as of March 31, 2026 by (i) aggregating for each applicable employee (A) annual base salary for salaried employees (or hourly rate multiplied by estimated work schedule, for hourly, temporary and seasonal employees), (B) overtime paid during the year, and (C) target incentive compensation, and (ii) ranking this compensation measure for our employees from lowest to highest. For non-U.S. employees, we converted such employees’ pay to a U.S. dollar equivalent by applying corporate accounting exchange rates for each applicable foreign currency as of the determination date of March 1, 2026. This calculation was performed for all of our employees, excluding our principal executive officer, except as described below. After identifying our median employee, we calculated that individual’s fiscal year 2026 total annual compensation.
Individuals who were employed in Vietnam (169), Canada (115), and Indonesia (26) were excluded from the employee population for purposes of this disclosure, pursuant to the de minimis exemption set forth in the applicable SEC rules. In each case, the number of employees listed represented all employees in that jurisdiction as of the determination date. After taking into consideration the foregoing exemption, on March 1, 2026, we had 3,517 U.S. employees and 2,385 non-U.S. employees. Without taking into account the impact of this exemption, we had 3,517 U.S. employees and 2,695 non-U.S. employees.
Other Information
We believe the pay ratio we have reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with applicable SEC rules based on our internal records and the methodology described above. In identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation, SEC rules allow companies to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, adopt a variety of calculation methodologies, and apply certain exemptions. Therefore, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio we have reported above.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

Provided below is our pay-versus-performance disclosure as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, including information regarding the relationship between “compensation actually paid” (CAP) to our NEOs, and our performance with respect to certain performance metrics. Specifically, set forth below is the following:
•A tabular list of the three most important financial measures our Talent & Compensation Committee used in fiscal year 2026 to link CAP to our performance;
•A table that compares the total compensation paid to our NEOs, as presented in the "Summary Compensation Table," to CAP and certain other financial measures; and
•Graphs reflecting the relationship between (i) CAP and our TSR, and the TSR of our peer group, (ii) CAP and our net income, and (iii) CAP and our consolidated operating income.
CAP has been calculated in the manner required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and does not necessarily represent the compensation that has been paid to, or which may be realized, by our NEOs. The Talent & Compensation Committee does not use CAP as a basis for evaluating or determining NEO compensation, and the methodology required by the SEC to calculate CAP differs significantly from the manner in which we calculate or evaluate compensation.
Please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for a discussion of our pay-for-performance philosophy, and the objective and key elements of our executive compensation program.
Tabular List of Company Financial Performance Measures
The list below represents the financial performance measures that the Talent & Compensation Committee considered to have been the most important in linking CAP to our principal executive officer (PEO) and non-PEO NEOs (Non-PEO NEOs) for fiscal year 2026 to our performance for the same time period. The measures are not necessarily ranked in order of importance.

Financial Performance Measures
Consolidated Operating Income
Consolidated Revenue
Consolidated Pre-Tax Income

Please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement titled "Elements of Fiscal Year 2026 Executive Compensation Program" for a description of these measures, and the manner in which these measures are used to determine incentive compensation paid to, or earned by, our NEOs.

Pay Versus Performance
Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table sets forth information regarding CAP to our PEOs and average CAP to our Non-PEO NEOs, as well as certain performance measures, and our results with respect to each of them, for each of our last five fiscal years:

Relationship Between Pay and Performance
The relationship between the CAP to our NEOs against (i) our TSR, and the TSR of our peer group, (ii) net income, and (iii) consolidated operating income, is illustrated as follows:
Compensation Actually Paid Versus Total Stockholder Return
The chart below illustrates the relationship between the CAP to our PEOs, and the average CAP to our Non-PEO NEOs in relation to our TSR, and the TSR of our peer group over each of our last five fiscal years. For this purpose, our peer group is the S&P 500 Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods Index. We do not use TSR as a direct performance measure for purposes of determining executive compensation, although we have adopted a TSR modifier that may impact the vesting amount of LTIP PSUs under certain circumstances.
Compensation Actually Paid Versus Net Income
The chart below illustrates the CAP to our PEOs, and the average CAP to our Non-PEO NEOs, in relation to our net income over each of our last five fiscal years. We do not use net income as a performance measure for purposes of determining executive compensation.

|  | 69

Compensation Actually Paid Versus Consolidated Operating Income
The chart below illustrates the CAP to our PEOs and the average CAP to our Non-PEO NEOs in relation to our consolidated operating income over each of our last five fiscal years. Consolidated operating income is the financial performance measure that, in our assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure to link CAP to our performance.

AUDIT & RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit & Risk Management Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of, among other things, our financial reporting functions, our independent registered public accounting firm, our highest-ranking manager of internal audit, our system of internal controls, our legal and regulatory compliance, and compliance with our related person transaction policy and Code of Ethics. The Audit & Risk Management Committee is currently composed of four directors, each of whom meets the independence and experience requirements under applicable NYSE rules, as well as the independence requirements applicable to Audit & Risk Management Committee members under applicable SEC rules. In addition, our Board has determined that the Chair of the Audit & Risk Management Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules.
Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and financial reporting process, including our system of internal controls. KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), and expressing (i) an opinion on whether our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles, and (ii) an opinion on whether we have maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Audit & Risk Management Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.
In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit & Risk Management Committee met with management and KPMG LLP to review and discuss the March 31, 2026 consolidated financial statements and obtained from management their representation that our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, management represented that, as of March 31, 2026, our Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
The Audit & Risk Management Committee also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required by Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees” of the PCAOB, which includes, among other items, information regarding the conduct of the integrated audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Audit & Risk Management Committee has received the written communications from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP's communication with the Audit & Risk Management Committee concerning independence and has discussed with them their independence.
The Audit & Risk Management Committee operates under a written charter, which was adopted by our Board and is assessed annually for adequacy by the Audit & Risk Management Committee. The Audit & Risk Management Committee held ten meetings during fiscal year 2026, including meetings with KPMG LLP and our highest-ranking manager of internal audit, both with and without management present. In performing its functions, the Audit & Risk Management Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. It is not the responsibility of the Audit & Risk Management Committee to determine that our financial statements are complete and accurate, are presented in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles or present fairly our results of operations for the periods presented, or that we maintain appropriate internal controls. Furthermore, the Audit & Risk Management Committee’s oversight responsibilities do not independently assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB or that our registered public accounting firm is independent.
Based upon the Audit & Risk Management Committee’s review and discussions with management and KPMG LLP, and subject to the limitations of the Audit & Risk Management Committee’s role and responsibilities referred to above and in the Audit & Risk Management Committee charter, the Audit & Risk Management Committee recommended that our Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report.

The Audit & Risk Management Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Acts, except to the extent that our Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Acts.

RELATED-PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Our legal department is primarily responsible for identifying and reviewing relationships and transactions in which our Company and our directors, director nominees, executive officers, principal stockholders, or any of their respective immediate family members, are participants to determine whether any of these related persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in such transactions. In order to assist in identifying potential related-person transactions, our legal department annually prepares and distributes to all directors, director nominees and executive officers a detailed written questionnaire which includes questions intended to elicit information about any current or proposed related-person transactions. In addition, our Code of Ethics addresses conflicts of interest where an individual’s personal interests may interfere or conflict with the interests of our Company, including relationships with suppliers, customers or competitors. Conflicts of interest which might impair (or appear to impair) the exercise of judgment solely for the benefit of our Company and our stockholders are prohibited. In general, such conflicts must be approved by our legal department, the employee’s supervisor or, in the case of directors, the Audit & Risk Management Committee. Information regarding potential conflicts of interest in violation of our Code of Ethics may be reported to our anonymous reporting hotline, which may be accessed by the Chair of the Audit & Risk Management Committee, the Chair of our Board and our highest ranking manager of internal audit.
If a related-person transaction is identified by our legal department as one which would be required to be publicly reported pursuant to applicable SEC rules, the Audit & Risk Management Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving or ratifying any such transaction. The Audit & Risk Management Committee may approve a related person transaction when, in its good faith judgment, it determines that the transaction is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.
Except as set forth below, there are no family relationships between any director, director nominee, or executive officer, and there were no transactions or series of similar transactions since the beginning of fiscal year 2026, and there are no currently proposed transactions, to which we were or are a party that are required to be reported in accordance with applicable SEC rules in which:
•the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and
•any of our directors, director nominees, executive officers, any holder of more than 5% of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Ms. Shanahan, a member of our Board, Audit & Risk Management Committee, and Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee, is the mother of one of our employees whom we have employed since March 2025. Ms. Shanahan does not serve on our Talent & Compensation Committee and is not involved in decision-making regarding this employee’s compensation. For fiscal year 2026, the aggregate amount of this employee’s annual compensation was in excess of $120,000, and is commensurate with our other employees with similar titles, skills, and levels of experience.

For fiscal year 2026, KPMG LLP (KPMG) provided audit services, which included an examination of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. The Audit & Risk Management Committee has selected KPMG to provide audit services to our Company for fiscal year 2027, which covers the period from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. We are asking our stockholders to ratify this selection at the Annual Meeting.
Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or applicable SEC rules, the Audit & Risk Management Committee is submitting the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm to a vote of our stockholders because it believes it is appropriate as a matter of good corporate governance practice. If our stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit & Risk Management Committee will consider the selection of another independent registered public accounting firm, but is not required to select a different firm. In addition, even if our stockholders ratify the selection, the Audit & Risk Management Committee will retain the discretion to select a different independent registered public accounting firm in the future if it believes doing so is in the best interests of our Company and stockholders.
A representative of KPMG will attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement and/or respond to appropriate questions from stockholders present at the Annual Meeting.

Audit & Risk Management Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In accordance with its policies and procedures, prior to engagement, the Audit & Risk Management Committee pre-approves all independent registered public accounting firm services. Specifically, the Audit & Risk Management Committee administers and oversees our engagement of KPMG and pre-approves all of KPMG’s audit and permissible non-audit services on a case-by-case basis. In approving non-audit services, the Audit & Risk Management Committee considers whether the engagement could compromise the independence of KPMG, and whether, for reasons of efficiency or convenience, it is in our best interests to engage KPMG to perform the services. The Audit & Risk Management Committee has determined that the performance by KPMG of the non-audit services listed above as "Audit-Related Fees" and “Tax Fees” did not affect its independence.
During the year, circumstances may arise under which it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approvals obtained.
Required Vote
The ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2027 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting (assuming that a quorum is present).
This proposal is considered a "routine" matter under NYSE rules. As a result, a bank, broker, dealer or other nominee may generally vote without instructions on this matter, so we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal. Abstentions on this proposal will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. If no contrary indication is made, returned proxies will be voted "FOR" this proposal.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION | OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL NO. 2 TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF KPMG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Background
In accordance with applicable SEC rules, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory "Say-on-Pay" Vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as described below. We consider seeking the views of our stockholders on our executive compensation program to be an important part of our decision-making process.
For additional information about our executive compensation program, please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and the related compensation tables and footnotes.
Proposal
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

Because this vote is advisory only, it will not be binding upon our Board or the Talent & Compensation Committee. However, the Talent & Compensation Committee will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering future executive compensation arrangements.
Required Vote
The approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting (assuming that a quorum is present).
This proposal is considered a "non-routine" matter under NYSE rules. As a result, a bank, broker, dealer or other nominee may not vote without instructions on this matter, so there may be broker non-votes in connection with this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. If no contrary indication is made, returned proxies will be voted "FOR" this proposal.
