 COMMITTEE The Audit Committee serves an independent oversight role by consulting with and providing guidance to management and the Company’s independent auditors on matters such as accounting, audits, compliance, controls, disclosure, finance and risk management. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that all Audit Committee members are “independent” (within the meaning of the applicable rules of the NYSE and the SEC) and financially literate. The Board of Directors has designated Lawrence “Chip” Molloy, the Chair of the Audit Committee, Jeffrey Boyer, Dorlisa K. Flur, and James M. Head as audit committee financial experts under the SEC’s guidelines. The Audit Committee’s purposes and responsibilities are described in its charter, available on the corporate governance section of the Company’s website at https://www.sallybeautyholdings.com/investor-relations and in print, without charge, upon written request to our Vice President of Investor Relations. They include (a) assisting the Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting processes, overseeing compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, reviewing the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence (including auditor rotation), and reviewing the performance of the Company’s internal audit function; (b) deciding whether to appoint, retain or terminate the Company’s independent auditors and to pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax and other services, if any, to be provided by the independent auditors; and (c) preparing this report. The Audit Committee members do not act as accountants or auditors for the Company. Management is responsible for the Company’s financial statements and the financial reporting process, including the implementation and maintenance of effective internal control over financial reporting. The independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee to discuss any matters they deem appropriate. The Audit Committee recognizes the importance of maintaining the independence of the Company’s independent auditor, both in fact and appearance. Consistent with its charter, the Audit Committee has evaluated the qualifications, performance, and independence of KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, including that of KPMG’s lead audit partner. As part of its auditor engagement process, the Audit Committee considers whether to rotate the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has established in its charter a policy pursuant to which all services, audit and non-audit, provided by the independent auditor must be pre-approved by
