Management Change/Compensation (Form 8-K)
| ITEM 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
As previously announced, on August 14, 2026, having reached the mandatory retirement age, Robert Eckert, a Class III director, retired from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Levi Strauss & Co. (the "Company"). The Company's corporate governance guidelines provide that a director is deemed to have resigned automatically upon the director's 72nd birthday unless the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Citizenship Committee of the Board (the "NGCC Committee") or the Board, upon recommendation from the NGCC Committee, waives this requirement. Mr. Eckert has served on the Company's Board since 2010 and most recently served as the chair of the Board (until April 2026) and of the NGCC Committee, as well as a member of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. Effective upon Mr. Eckert's retirement, the Board appointed Joshua Prime to the NGCC Committee and named him the Chair thereof. Mr. Eckert's retirement is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
Concurrent with Mr. Eckert's departure, the size of the Board was reduced to ten directors.
