Proxy filing summary
28 Apr, 2026Executive summary
The annual meeting will be held virtually, with stockholders voting on key proposals including director elections, auditor ratification, executive compensation, an equity plan amendment, and a board declassification proposal.
A contested director election is underway, with Dennis J. “Chip” Wilson nominating three alternative candidates; the board recommends voting only for its own three nominees using the universal WHITE PROXY CARD.
The board has engaged extensively with Mr. Wilson regarding governance and board composition, but no settlement was reached; the board continues to support ongoing refreshment and governance enhancements.
Voting matters and shareholder proposals
Proposal 1: Election of three Class I directors (Chip Bergh, Esi Eggleston Bracey, Teri List) for three-year terms; board recommends voting only for these nominees.
Proposal 2: Ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditor for fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.
Proposal 3: Advisory vote on executive compensation (say-on-pay); board recommends approval.
Proposal 4: Approval of an amendment to the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the share reserve by 6.3 million shares.
Proposal 5: Advisory vote on a stockholder proposal to declassify the board so all directors are elected annually; board supports this proposal.
Board of directors and corporate governance
The board consists of 11 members, with a mix of new and long-serving directors; average independent director tenure is 5.9 years.
Recent board refreshment includes the addition of Chip Bergh and Esi Eggleston Bracey; two directors are not standing for reelection.
The board is majority independent, with separate chair and CEO roles; Martha Morfitt serves as executive chair.
Three standing committees: Audit, People, Culture & Compensation, and Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance.
Annual board and committee self-evaluations are conducted, with third-party facilitation in 2025.
