 Compensation and Risk Assessment
The Committee considers our compensation policies and practices, including our executive compensation program, as part of our annual enterprise risk assessment process. Among other things, considerations may include what risks could be created or exacerbated by our executive compensation plans and arrangements and how those potential risks are monitored, mitigated, and managed. We do not believe that our compensation policies and practices give rise to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Savers.

#### Tax and Accounting Considerations
Deductibility of Executive Compensation . Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly-traded corporation a federal income tax deduction for remuneration in excess of $1 million per year per person paid to certain executive officers designated in Section 162(m) of the Code. However, we believe that maintaining the discretion to provide compensation that is non-deductible allows us to provide appropriate executive compensation to reflect the Company’s business needs and benefit stockholders.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . Generally, we are required to measure the compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The grant date fair value of these awards determined for financial reporting purposes may not reflect the potential value intended by the Board for the individual to receive or the actual value of the awards to the recipients, which depends on various factors, including meeting the vesting criteria and individual decisions regarding sales of shares.

#### Compensation Committee Report
We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on these reviews and discussions, we recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
