On July 8, 2025, Hali Borenstein, a member of the Carter's, Inc. (the "Company") Board of Directors (the "Board"), provided notice that she will not stand for re-election at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders in 2026. Ms. Borenstein's decision was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the Company's operations, policies, or practices. Instead, Ms. Borenstein plans to spend more time on her role as Chief Executive Officer of Reformation LLC, a women's lifestyle brand focused on fashion and sustainability, while also dedicating more time to her family.

Ms. Borenstein joined the Company's Board in 2019 and will continue to fulfill her duties as a Board member, including serving as a member of the Company's Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and Business Transformation Committee, until the Company's shareholders' meeting in 2026. The Company is grateful to Ms. Borenstein for her service and commitment to Carter's.
