**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

Certain statements contained herein, as well as in other filings that VF makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other written and oral information VF releases, regarding VF's future performance constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements are made based on VF's current expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting VF and therefore involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as "will," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "should," and "may," and other words and terms of similar meaning or use of future dates. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding VF's plans, objectives, projections and expectations relating to VF's operations or financial performance, and assumptions related thereto are forward-looking statements. VF undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Known or unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of VF to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described as "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports VF files with the SEC. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. You should read the information in this report in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear in this report.

**PART I**

**ITEM 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BUSINESS.**<br>

V.F. Corporation, founded in 1899, is a portfolio of leading outdoor and active brands, including *The North Face*<sup>®</sup>, *Vans*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland*<sup>®</sup>. VF is committed to providing consumers with innovative products that are rooted in performance and elevated design, while delivering sustainable and long-term value for its employees, communities and shareholders. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "VF," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" used herein refer to V.F. Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All references to "Fiscal 2026" relate to VF's current fiscal year which ran from March 30, 2025 through March 28, 2026.

Unless otherwise noted, all discussion below, including amounts and percentages for all periods, reflect the results of operations and financial condition of VF's continuing operations. As such, the *Supreme*<sup>®</sup> brand business ("Supreme") that was sold on October 1, 2024 has been excluded. The sale of the *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand business ("Dickies") on November 12, 2025, did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation and is therefore included within VF's continuing operations, through the date of sale.

***Business Model***

VF is diversified across brands, product categories, channels of distribution, geographies and consumer demographics. We own a broad portfolio of brands in the apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories categories. Our largest brands are *The North Face*<sup>®</sup>*, Vans*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland*<sup>®</sup>*.* 

Our products are marketed to customers through our wholesale channel, primarily in specialty stores, national chains, mass merchants, department stores, independently-operated partnership stores and with strategic digital partners. Our products are also marketed to consumers through our own direct-to-consumer operations, which include VF-operated stores, concession retail stores, brand e-commerce sites and other digital platforms. Revenues from the direct-to-consumer business represented 44% of VF's total Fiscal 2026 revenues. In addition to selling directly into international markets, many of our brands also sell products through licensees, agents and distributors. In Fiscal 2026, VF derived 50% of its revenues from the Americas, 35% from Europe and 15% from Asia-Pacific.

To provide products across multiple channels of distribution in different geographic areas, we rely on our global sourcing of finished goods from geographically diversified independent contractors. Our supply chain utilizes technologies for inventory replenishment that enable us to match our assortment of products to consumer demand. We have three main regional sourcing hubs, which helps to reduce lead times by establishing production closer to end consumption.

***Transformation Strategy***

VF made further significant progress on its transformation strategy in Fiscal 2026, building on the initiatives put in place over the last three years to strengthen the balance sheet, expand margins and return to growth. In Fiscal 2026, VF advanced towards medium-term goals outlined at its Investor Day in October 2024 to achieve a 10% operating margin in Fiscal 2028 and a leverage ratio of 2.5x or lower by Fiscal 2028.

*Strengthen the Balance Sheet*

VF's primary financial focus has been on liquidity and leverage in the early part of its turnaround, with initiatives implemented to improve operating performance alongside paying down debt. Through tight cost discipline, working capital improvements and divestiture proceeds from the sales of Supreme in Fiscal 2025 and Dickies in Fiscal 2026, VF reduced long-term debt by $2.2 billion over a period of two fiscal years.

*Expand Margins*

Margin expansion initiatives are focused on both improving gross margin and reducing selling, general and administrative expenses. To achieve expansion the focus has included strengthening the product creation engine and building several artificial intelligence ("AI") powered inventory planning capabilities. Levers included driving product mix through higher margin products, targeted pricing actions, and sharper markdown management. Across the business, during the last two fiscal years, the product function was consolidated into a single global engine while design was elevated in the new operating model to enhance innovation and improve speed to market. Inventory planning capabilities were upgraded with the introduction of new AI-enabled capabilities.

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

Initiatives to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses have focused on organizational alignment, simplification of processes and operations, structural transformation of the Digital and Technology functions at VF, as well as work to run VF-owned stores and distribution more efficiently. VF continued to reinvest a portion of savings into marketing, with a continued shift towards a more social-first, digital-led marketing strategy.

*Return to Growth*

Initiatives to improve VF's understanding of its consumers have been central to delivering a return to growth. This started with the work that segmented consumer demand to drive decision-making across product designs and consumer relevant experiences. This enabled VF to deliver more product newness with increasing speed. These initiatives have contributed to advancing the turnaround of the *Vans*<sup>®</sup> brand as well as driving sustained growth across several brands in the portfolio.

VF's capital deployment priorities in the near-to-medium term will continue to be focused on reducing leverage and reinvesting a portion of cost savings to drive profitable and sustainable growth.

***Reportable Segments***

VF's President and Chief Executive Officer is the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company's individual global brands, or in certain cases the combination of global brands, have been determined to be operating segments. The operating segments have been evaluated and aggregated into reportable segments because they meet the similar economic characteristics and qualitative aggregation criteria set forth in the relevant accounting guidance. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brand is managed and the CODM's key areas of focus. VF began managing its *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland PRO*<sup>®</sup> brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with *The North Face*<sup>®</sup> brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *Kipling*<sup>®</sup>, *Eastpak*<sup>®</sup> and *JanSport*<sup>®</sup> brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an "All Other" category. This group includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>. Results for the "All Other" category are included as a reconciling item between the Company's reportable segments and its consolidated results of operations and assets.

The following table summarizes VF's brands by reportable segment:

**DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER OPERATIONS**<br>

Our direct-to-consumer business includes VF-operated retail stores, brand e-commerce sites, concession retail locations and other digital platforms. Direct-to-consumer revenues were 44% of total VF revenues in Fiscal 2026.

Our full-price retail stores allow us to display a brand's full line of products with fixtures and imagery that support the brand's positioning and promise to consumers. These experiences provide high visibility for our brands and products and enable us to stay close to the needs and preferences of our consumers. The complete and impactful presentation of products in our stores also helps to increase sell-through of VF products at our wholesale customers due to increased brand awareness, education and visibility. VF-operated full-price stores generally provide gross margins that are well above other channels.

In addition, VF operates outlet stores in both premium outlet malls and more traditional value-based locations. These outlet stores carry merchandise that is specifically designed for sale in our outlet stores and serve an important role in our overall inventory management and profitability by also allowing VF to sell a significant portion of excess, discontinued and out-of-season products at better prices than otherwise available from outside parties, while maintaining the integrity of our brands.

Our global direct-to-consumer operations included 1,080 stores at the end of Fiscal 2026. We operate retail store locations for the following brands: *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *The North Face*<sup>®</sup>, *Timberland*<sup>®</sup>*,* 

*Kipling*<sup>®</sup>, *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup>, *Altra*<sup>®</sup> and *Eastpak*<sup>®</sup>. We also operate 1 multi-brand store. Approximately 64% of our stores are located in the Americas (56% in the U.S.), 26% in Europe and 10% in Asia-Pacific. Additionally, we sell certain of our branded products through 868 concession retail stores located principally in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

E-commerce represented approximately 41% of our direct-to-consumer business and 18% of total VF revenues in Fiscal 2026. All VF brands are marketed online. We continue to expand our omni-channel approach and integrated marketplace strategies in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, in order to engage with consumers at every touch point with innovative assets and by focusing on local relevance. We also continue to increase focus on digital innovation and growth across other third-party digital platforms that are reported within our direct-to-consumer business.

In addition to our direct-to-consumer operations, independent parties own and operate approximately 2,100 partnership stores. Sales to these partners are reported in our wholesale channel. These are primarily mono-brand retail locations selling VF products that have the appearance of VF-operated stores. Most of these partnership stores are located in Europe and in Asia-Pacific, and are concentrated amongst *The North Face*<sup>®</sup>, *Timberland*<sup>®</sup>, *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *Kipling*<sup>®</sup>, *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup> and *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> brands.

**LICENSING ARRANGEMENTS**<br>

As part of our strategy of expanding market penetration of VF-owned brands, we enter into licensing agreements with independent parties for specific apparel and complementary product categories when such arrangements provide more effective sourcing, distribution and marketing than could be achieved internally. We provide support to these business partners and ensure the integrity of our brand names by taking an active role in the design, quality control, advertising, marketing and distribution of licensed products.Licensing arrangements relate to a broad range of VF brands and are for fixed terms of generally 3 to 5 years, with conditional renewal options. Each licensee pays royalties to VF based on its sales of licensed products, with most agreements providing for a minimum royalty requirement. Royalties generally range from 4% to 10% of the licensing partners' net licensed product sales. Royalty income was $49.7 million in Fiscal 2026 (less than 1% of total revenues), primarily from the *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale) and *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brands.

**SOURCING AND DISTRIBUTION**<br>

Product design and innovation, including fit, fabric, finish and quality, are important elements across our businesses. These functions are performed by employees located in our global supply chain organization and our branded business units across the globe.

VF's centralized global supply chain organization is responsible for procuring and delivering products to support our brands and businesses. VF is skilled in managing the complexities associated with our global supply chain. In Fiscal 2026, VF sourced approximately 231 million units spread across our brands. Our products were primarily obtained from approximately 216 independent contractor manufacturing facilities in approximately 24 countries. Additionally, we operate 13 distribution centers and 1,080 retail stores across the globe. We also utilize distribution centers managed by third parties, as necessary, for certain brands and locations. Managing this complexity is made possible by the use of a network of information systems for product development, forecasting, order

management and warehouse management, along with our core enterprise resource management platforms.

Products obtained from contractors in the Western Hemisphere generally have a higher cost than products obtained from contractors in Asia-Pacific. However, contracting in the Western Hemisphere gives us greater flexibility, shorter lead times and allows for lower inventory levels for the U.S. market. The use of contracted production with different geographic regions and cost structures, provides a flexible approach to product sourcing. We will continue to manage our supply chain from a global perspective and adjust as needed to changes in the global production environment.

Independent contractors generally own the raw materials and ship finished, ready-for-sale products to VF. These contractors are engaged through VF's sourcing hubs in Singapore (with satellite offices across Asia-Pacific), Panama and Switzerland. These hubs are responsible for managing the procurement of product, supplier oversight, product quality assurance,

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

sustainability within the supply chain, responsible sourcing and transportation and shipping functions. In addition, our hubs leverage proprietary knowledge and technology to enable certain contractors to more effectively control costs and improve labor efficiency.

Management continually monitors political risks and developments related to duties, tariffs and quotas. We limit VF's sourcing exposure through, among other measures: (i) diversifying production among countries and contractors, (ii) sourcing production to merchandise categories where product is readily available, and (iii) sourcing from countries with tariff preference and free trade agreements. In April 2025, the U.S. government announced broad-based, reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports under the International Emergency Economic Power Act ("IEEPA"). In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the IEEPA. Immediately following the IEEPA ruling, the U.S. government imposed additional new tariffs under other statutory authorities, resulting in a rapidly evolving tariff environment. VF continues to analyze the impact of tariffs on our business and has taken steps to mitigate our tariff exposure. Mitigation strategies have included, and may continue to include, sourcing optimization, accelerating production and shipments into the U.S., negotiations with our vendors, and tactical price increases. VF does not directly or indirectly source products from suppliers in countries that are prohibited by the U.S. State Department.

No single supplier represented more than 8% of our total cost of goods sold during Fiscal 2026.

All independent contractor facilities that manufacture VF products, are subject to VF's Global Compliance Principles.

These principles, consistent with international labor standards, are a set of strict standards covering legal and ethical business practices, worker age, work hours, health and safety conditions, environmental standards and compliance with local laws and regulations.

VF, through its contractor monitoring program, audits the activities of the independent businesses and contractors that produce VF products at locations across the globe. Independent contractor facilities, including those serving our independent licensees, are subject to pre-certification before producing VF products. This pre-certification includes passing a factory inspection and signing a VF Terms of Engagement agreement. We maintain an ongoing audit program to ensure compliance with these requirements by using dedicated internal staff and externally contracted firms. Additional information about VF's Code of Business Conduct, Global Compliance Principles, Terms of Engagement and Environmental Compliance Guidelines, along with a Global Compliance Report, is available on the VF website at www.vfc.com.

Product is shipped from our independent suppliers to distribution centers around the world. In some instances, product is shipped directly to our customers. Most distribution centers are operated by VF, and most support more than one brand.

Our largest distribution centers by region are located in Ontario, California; Almelo, the Netherlands; and Kunshan, China. In total, we operate 13 owned or leased distribution centers primarily in the U.S., but also in the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, China, United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Mexico and Israel.

**SEASONALITY**<br>

VF's quarterly operating results vary due to the seasonality of our individual brands, and are historically stronger in the second half of the calendar year. This variation results primarily from the seasonal influences on revenues of our Outdoor segment, where revenues are historically weighted towards the second and third fiscal quarters. On a quarterly basis in Fiscal 2026, revenues ranged from a low of 18% of full year revenues in the first fiscal quarter to a high of 30% in the third fiscal quarter, with corresponding operating margins of (5%) in the first fiscal quarter and 10% in the third fiscal quarter. This variation results primarily from the seasonal influences on revenues of our Outdoor segment, where 14% of the segment's revenues occurred in the first fiscal quarter compared to 34% in the third

fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2026. With changes in our mix of business and the growth of our retail operations, historical quarterly revenue and profit trends may not be indicative of future trends.

Working capital requirements vary throughout the year. Working capital typically increases early in the calendar year as inventory builds to support peak shipping periods and then moderates later in the calendar year as those inventories are sold and accounts receivable are collected. Historically, cash provided by operating activities is substantially higher in the second half of the calendar year due to higher net income during that period and reduced working capital requirements, particularly during the fourth quarter of the calendar year.

**ADVERTISING, CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH**<br>

During Fiscal 2026, our advertising and promotion expense was $849.3 million, representing 9% of total revenues. We advertise in consumer and trade publications and through digital initiatives, including social media and mobile platforms on the Internet. We also participate in cooperative advertising on a shared cost basis with major retailers in print and digital media, radio and television. We sponsor sporting, musical and special events, as well as athletes and personalities who promote our products. We employ marketing sciences to optimize the impact of advertising and promotional spending, and to identify the types of spending that provide the greatest return on our marketing investments.

We provide advertising support to our wholesale customers, including independent partnership stores, in the form of point-of-sale fixtures and signage to enhance the presentation and brand image of our products. We also participate in shop-in-shops and concession retail arrangements, which are separate sales areas dedicated to a specific VF brand within our customers' stores and other locations, to help differentiate and enhance the presentation of our products.

We contribute to incentive programs with our wholesale customers, including cooperative advertising funds, discounts and allowances. We also offer sales incentive programs directly to consumers in the form of discounts, rebates and coupon

offers that are eligible for use in certain VF-operated stores, brand e-commerce sites and concession retail locations. VF also offers loyalty programs for certain brands that provide a range of benefits to consumers.

In addition to sponsorships and activities that directly benefit our products and brands, VF and its employees actively support our communities and various charities. For example, *The North Face*<sup>®</sup> brand advanced its brand impact through its Power of Nature platform, which focuses on expanding outdoor access for youth by helping remove barriers to participation and encouraging exploration across communities globally. The *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brand continued its strong heritage of volunteerism, with thousands of employees worldwide participating in more than 200 annual Earth Day (spring) and Serv-a-palooza (fall) service events. The *Vans*<sup>®</sup> brand supported programs and partnered with community-driven organizations rooted in skate culture, promoting inclusivity, supporting mental health, providing relief to communities impacted by natural disasters, and inspiring creativity as a form of self-expression consistent with its "Off the Wall" ethos.

**ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY**<br>

As a portfolio of leading outdoor and active brands, VF is committed to providing consumers with innovative products that are rooted in performance and elevated design, while delivering sustainable and long-term value for its employees, communities and shareholders. VF is dedicated to business success, with integrity and responsibility remaining essential to supporting our success, across key areas including people, the planet and our products.

**People**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VF employees are the driving force behind all we do. From delivering a superior product for the consumers of our brands, to working to lessen our environmental impact on the planet, they drive our progress. We strive to uphold responsible business practices across our global business, including our direct operations and our supply chain.

**Planet**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Driving action to manage climate risk by resolving to reduce our own environmental footprint while advocating for industry actions to create positive change at scale.

**Product**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VF brands touch millions of lives every year – from the people that design and make the products to the consumers who purchase them. Innovation and responsible product stewardship are key focus areas.

Our environmental sustainability strategy focuses on reducing greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, increasing responsible sourcing of materials, reducing waste, implementing green building design, increasing renewable energy use and improving operational efficiency across both our direct operations and our supply chain.

VF's President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as the Company's Global Leadership Team and Board of Directors are responsible for the oversight of VF's sustainability and responsibility strategies and targets. Additionally, the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board oversees key strategies, programs, policies and risks related to the sustainability and social responsibility impacts of VF's businesses, including sustainability policies and initiatives to address climate change risks. Regular updates on the progress towards associated sustainability and responsibility targets are provided to the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board.

VF conducts an analysis of potential climate-related risks and opportunities periodically, based on regulatory requirements and business needs. Updates on enterprise risks are provided to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors quarterly.

VF's science-based targets include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 55% by the end of Fiscal 2030 from a Fiscal 2017 baseline; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation including land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks, 33% by the end of Fiscal 2030 from a Fiscal 2017 baseline.

Other people-, planet- and product-related goals include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Improve the lives of one million workers and community members throughout VF's global supply chain by Fiscal 2026 and two million workers and community members by Fiscal 2031. In Fiscal 2025, VF successfully achieved its first milestone, reaching one million people through VF's Worker & Community Development program initiatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Utilize 100% renewable energy across our owned-and-operated facilities by the end of Fiscal 2026, to be primarily achieved through on-site renewable energy projects, and off-site renewable energy investments, including renewable energy credits. VF has secured sufficient renewable energy credits in Fiscal 2026, enabling VF to achieve its renewable energy goal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Source 50% of our polyester from recycled materials by the end of Fiscal 2026. VF has achieved this goal.

VF has achieved, or is tracking progress towards, these targets and goals.

Additional information regarding VF's strategy and actions, as well as progress toward these targets and goals, can be found within our latest Environmental & Social Responsibility report within our "Responsibility" page on www.vfc.com.

**HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT**

As a performance-driven company that is committed to its values, VF aspires to leverage the size and scale of our business and the capabilities of our people to drive profitable and sustainable growth and create value for shareholders and stakeholders. Together with a laser focus on performance and delivering on our commitments, we are able to offer a unique value proposition to our employees – a place where you can do well and do good at the same time.

We consider the talent and capabilities of our people as essential to our business strategy and execution. As such, we put in place strategies to acquire, develop and retain diverse talent with the skills and passion to build our brands with innovative products and experiences for our consumers around the globe. Our Human Capital Management ("HCM") practices are designed to promote belonging; provide development opportunities for employees across the organization; offer competitive rewards for performance achievements and benefits; and sponsor programs that support wellbeing in an engaging work environment built on our values.

We believe that having an engaged, inclusive and committed workforce with a diversity of experiences and perspectives enhances not only our business performance but also our culture. Initiatives to promote overall alignment with our performance, values, and strategy are therefore important and include internal communications and education about our business initiatives through regular townhalls with executive management across our business, and a listening strategy that engages employees and encourages them to provide input and feedback on a variety of topics.

Our Board of Directors and its Committees provide governance and oversight on a broad range of VF's HCM efforts. The Board's oversight includes review of Chief Executive Officer and executive officer performance, compensation and succession planning and belonging programs and initiatives. The Talent and Compensation Committee works with management on executive compensation and compensation risks, and regularly reviews our progress on company-wide HCM priorities, including employee engagement, inclusion, belonging, benefits, wellbeing, succession planning and talent development strategies. VF's Audit Committee monitors current and emerging enterprise risks, including HCM risks, and VF's health and safety program. The Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee is responsible for conducting Board succession planning and overseeing the selection of nominees to the Board, and reviews the Company's Code of Business Conduct as well as its sustainability policies, goals and programs. These Committees provide recommendations to the Board and are part of the broader framework that guides how VF acquires, develops, and retains a workforce that aligns with VF's values and supports its business strategies and performance objectives. In addition, VF's Global Leadership Team is regularly engaged in the development and management of key talent systems, guiding our culture and talent development programs. The sections that follow provide further background on our employee base, as well as examples of our key programs and initiatives that are focused on the achievement of our objectives.

**Employee Base**

VF had approximately 26,000 employees at the end of Fiscal 2026. Of VF's total employees, approximately 56% were full-time

and approximately 51% were located in the U.S. In international markets, certain employees are covered by trade-sponsored or governmental bargaining arrangements. Employee relations are generally considered to be good.

**Culture and Engagement**

Our culture is built on our five core values: Trust and Integrity, Consumer-first, Embrace the Now, Growth Mindset, and Win Together. We measure our culture and Employee Net Promoter Score ("eNPS") via periodic surveys. Results are evaluated, shared with employees and used to guide management focus and attention. Recent actions have included 1) adopting a flexible approach to where employees work, 2) creating engaging work environments that bring employees together to collaborate and innovate, and 3) equipping leaders to manage in a complex, hybrid environment. VF also conducts periodic pulse check surveys for interim feedback on a variety of topics.

**Talent Management** 

Talent Management includes the acquisition, development, skilling and upskilling, and deployment of our talent. We utilize a range of tools and programs including performance coaching, mentorship and development, succession planning, access to volunteering opportunities, early career apprenticeship programs, and a blend of in-person, live virtual as well as a wide range of self-directed digital learning available to all employees.

**Employee Wellbeing and Safety**

VF endeavors to support the diverse wellbeing needs of our employees and their families. We define wellbeing as not only physical health, but also mental, emotional, social, financial and career wellbeing. We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits program to our full-time employees that is designed to provide choices and flexibility to meet their needs now and in the future. These include health and welfare programs, retirement programs, paid parental leave, family planning and adoption assistance, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, product discounts, fitness facilities or programs, childcare and educational resources and various on-site services, employee assistance program, and regular wellbeing programming, as appropriate throughout the geographies in which we operate.

Employee safety rests at the heart of our decisions. Nothing is more fundamental than providing people with an environment where they feel safe, secure and supported. Our mission is simple: Foster a culture of safety that enables a workplace free of hazards and sends every employee home safely. Our goal is zero workplace injuries within our operations and to respond quickly to address risks identified through our ongoing assessment of facilities. We're using our scale, influence and insight to help establish safe, stable working environments in the factories producing our products, while simultaneously working to improve the lives of those in local communities beyond the factory walls.

**Ethics and Compliance**

VF's Code of Business Conduct sets forth business policies and principles for all directors, officers and employees of VF. The key principles of our Code are as follows: we will lead with integrity; we will treat everyone with dignity and respect; we will compete

fairly and honestly; we will follow the law everywhere we do business; and we will strive to make our communities better. Our global Ethics and Compliance program aims to provide VF employees with the tools they need to understand our expectations for ethical business conduct and the courage to speak up and raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

**OTHER MATTERS**<br>

**Competitive Factors**

Our business depends on our ability to stimulate consumer demand for VF's brands and products. As a leader in the industry with a portfolio of iconic brands, VF is well-positioned to compete in its target markets for apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories. Our brands support the active lifestyles of their consumers through the development of innovative and differentiated products and experiences. We support our brands in meeting their commitments to consumers by leveraging our platforms and capabilities to innovate and ensure sufficient availability of high-quality products when and where consumers choose to engage with our brands, and to communicate and maintain long-lasting relationships.

**Intellectual Property**

Trademarks, trade names, patents and domain names, as well as related logos, designs and graphics, provide substantial value in the development and marketing of VF's products, and are important to our continued success. We have registered this intellectual property in the U.S. and in other countries where our products are manufactured and/or sold. We vigorously monitor and enforce VF's intellectual property against counterfeiting, infringement and violations of other rights where and to the extent legal, feasible and appropriate. In addition, we grant licenses to other parties to manufacture and sell products

utilizing our intellectual property in product categories and geographic areas in which VF does not operate.

**Customers**

VF products are sold on a wholesale basis to specialty stores, national chains, mass merchants, department stores, independently-operated partnership stores and strategic digital partners. In addition, we sell products on a direct-to-consumer basis through VF-operated stores, concession retail stores, brand e-commerce sites and other digital platforms. Our international sales represented 56% of our total revenues in the year ended March 2026, with Europe being the largest international market.

Sales to VF's ten largest customers amounted to approximately 17% of total revenues in Fiscal 2026. Sales to the five largest customers amounted to approximately 12% of total revenues in Fiscal 2026. Sales to VF's largest customer totaled approximately 4% of total revenues in Fiscal 2026.

**Backlog**

The dollar amount of VF's order backlog as of any date is not indicative of actual future shipments and, accordingly, is not material to an understanding of the business taken as a whole.

**ITEM 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RISK FACTORS.**<br>

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating VF's business and the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K. These disclosures reflect VF's beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect VF and its securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future. These risk factors do not identify all risks VF faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that VF is unaware of, or that VF currently believes are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect VF's business. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect VF's business, its operating results, the trading price of VF's common stock, and its financial condition.

**ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY RISKS**

***VF's revenues and profits depend on the level of consumer spending for apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories, which is sensitive to global economic conditions and other factors. A decline in consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on VF.***

The success of VF's business depends on consumer spending on apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories, and there are a number of factors that influence consumer spending, including actual and perceived economic conditions, disposable consumer income, interest rates, consumer credit availability, inflationary pressures, recessions or economic slowdowns, unemployment, stock market performance, weather conditions and natural disasters (including potential climate risks and impacts), energy and commodity prices, public health issues, geopolitical and political instability (such as the current tensions between the U.S. and China, and the current conflicts in Europe, the Middle East and Asia), trade wars, consumer discretionary spending patterns and tax rates in the international, national, regional and local markets where VF's products are sold. Decreased consumer spending could result in reduced demand for our products, reduced orders from customers for our products, order cancellations or returns, lower revenues, higher discounts, increased inventories and lower gross margins. The uncertain state of the global economy continues to impact businesses around the world. If global economic and financial market conditions do not improve, or if they worsen, adverse economic trends or other factors could negatively impact the level of consumer spending, which could have a material adverse impact on VF.

***The apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories industries are highly competitive, and VF may not be able to gauge consumer preferences and product trends, and to respond to constantly changing markets.***

VF competes globally with numerous apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories brands and manufacturers. Competition is generally based upon brand name recognition, the price, design, quality, innovation and selection of products and services, product availability and purchasing convenience. Some of our competitors are larger and have more resources than VF in certain product categories and regions. In addition, VF competes directly with the private label brands of its wholesale customers. We face a variety of competitive challenges in an increasingly fast-paced environment, and our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipate, respond to, and potentially influence changing consumer preferences and product trends quickly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• design and develop attractive and innovative products that meet changing consumer needs, consistent with consumer trends and demands across various demographics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain strong brand recognition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• improve speed to market of products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• develop and execute on modern marketing and marketplace strategies to enable deeper consumer connections that lead to enhanced engagement with our brands;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide best in class marketing support and intelligence and optimize and react to available consumer data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• price products appropriately;

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensure product availability and optimize supply chain efficiencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• manage our retail store space effectively and drive traffic to our retail stores;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• produce or procure quality products on a consistent basis; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adapt to a more AI-enabled, digitally driven consumer landscape, including the effective re-creation of the in-store experience in and selling through a variety of digital channels, including new and emerging types of marketplaces and selling models, and reaching consumers on social media.

In addition, our ability to compete is also dependent on our ability to reach consumers effectively and efficiently in an evolving media landscape, including digital, which is subject to evolving and increasingly restrictive privacy requirements. Failure to compete effectively or to keep pace with rapidly changing consumer preferences, markets, technology, business model and product trends could have a material adverse effect on VF's business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there are significant shifts underway in the wholesale and direct-to-consumer (e-commerce and retail store) channels. VF may not be able to manage its brands within and across channels sufficiently, which could have a material adverse effect on VF's business, financial condition and results of operations.

***The retail industry has experienced financial difficulty that could adversely affect VF's business.***

There have been consolidations, reorganizations, restructurings, bankruptcies and ownership changes in the retail industry. These events individually, and together, could have a material, adverse effect on VF's business. These changes could impact VF's opportunities in the market and increase VF's reliance on a smaller number of large customers. In the future, retailers may further consolidate, undergo restructurings or reorganizations or bankruptcies, realign their affiliations or reposition their stores' target markets. In addition, consumers have continued to transition away from traditional wholesale retailers to large online retailers. These developments could result in a reduction in the number of stores that carry VF's products, an increase in

ownership concentration within the retail industry, an increase in credit exposure to VF or an increase in leverage by VF's customers over their suppliers.

Further, the global economy periodically experiences recessionary conditions with rising unemployment, rising inflation and interest rates, rising tariffs, reduced availability of credit, increased savings rates and declines in real estate and securities values. These recessionary conditions could have a negative impact on retail sales of apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories and other consumer products. The lower sales volumes, along with the possibility of restrictions on access to the credit markets, could result in our wholesale customers experiencing financial difficulties including store closures, bankruptcies or liquidations. This could result in higher credit risk to VF relating to receivables from our customers who are experiencing these financial difficulties. If these developments occur, our inability to shift sales to other customers or to collect on VF's trade accounts receivable could have a material adverse effect on VF's financial condition and results of operations.

***VF's profitability may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins.***

The apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including intense competition, consolidation in the retail industry, rising commodity and conversion costs, inflation, tariffs levied on component and finished goods, rising freight costs, rising labor costs, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products, changes in consumer demand and shifts to digital shopping and purchasing. For example, the conflict in the Middle East has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in customer order cancellations, higher oil prices, an increase in shipping costs, and an increase in raw material costs. Customers may increasingly seek markdown allowances, incentives and other forms of economic support. If these factors cause us to reduce our sales prices to retailers and consumers, and we fail to sufficiently reduce our product costs or operating expenses, VF's profitability will decline. This could have a material adverse effect on VF's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

**BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL RISKS**

***VF's business and the success of its products could be harmed if VF is unable to maintain the image of its brands.***

VF's success to date has been due in large part to the growth of its brands' image and VF's consumers' connection to its brands. If we are unable to timely and appropriately respond to changing consumer demand, the names and image of our brands may be impaired. Even if we react appropriately to changes in consumer preferences, consumers may consider our brands' image to be outdated or associate our brands with styles that are no longer popular. In addition, brand value is based in part on consumer perceptions on a variety of qualities, including merchandise quality, corporate integrity, and responsible business and governance practices, including with respect to human rights and our impact on the environment. Negative claims or publicity regarding VF, its brands or its products, including licensed products, or its culture and values, or its employees, endorsers, sponsors or suppliers could adversely affect our reputation and sales regardless of whether such claims are accurate. The rapidly changing media environment, including our increasing reliance on social media and digital marketing, which accelerates the dissemination of information, including misinformation and disinformation, can increase the challenges of responding to negative claims. In addition, we have sponsorship contracts with a number of athletes, musicians and celebrities and feature those individuals in our advertising and marketing efforts. Failure to continue to obtain or maintain high-quality sponsorships and endorsers could harm our business. In addition, actions taken by those individuals associated with our products could harm their reputations, which could adversely affect the image of our brands. Our reputation and brand image also could be damaged as a result of our support of, association with or lack of support or disapproval of certain political or social issues or catastrophic events, as well as any decisions we make to continue to conduct, or change, certain of our activities in response to such considerations.

***VF's revenues and cash requirements are affected by the seasonal nature of its business.***

VF's business is seasonal, with a higher proportion of revenues and operating cash flows generated during the second half of the calendar year, which includes the fall and holiday selling seasons. Poor sales in the second half of the calendar year would have a material adverse effect on VF's full year operating results and cause higher inventories. In addition, fluctuations in sales and operating income in any fiscal quarter are affected by the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and other events affecting retail sales.

***We may be adversely affected by weather conditions, including any potential effects from extreme environmental conditions.***

Our business is adversely affected by unseasonable weather conditions, including those resulting from extreme environmental conditions. A significant portion of the sales of our products is dependent in part on the weather and is likely to decline in years in which weather conditions do not favor the use of these products. For example, periods of unseasonably warm weather in the fall or winter can lead to reduced consumer spending that negatively impacts VF's direct-to-consumer business, and inventory accumulation by our wholesale customers, which can, in turn, negatively affect orders in future seasons. In addition, abnormally harsh or inclement weather can also negatively impact retail traffic and consumer spending. If the frequency and impact of weather and environmental related events and conditions increase, we expect additional negative impacts such as supply chain disruptions following extreme weather events impacting materials sourcing and logistics. Any and all of these risks may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

***VF may not succeed in its business strategy, including our turnaround program and "The VF Way" operating principles.***

During Fiscal 2024, we introduced a turnaround program to reinvent how VF operates as an organization across our brands, geographies and integrated enterprise functions. As part of this program, we have taken and continue to take measures to streamline and right-size our cost base, identify and capture efficiencies in our business model, and strengthen the balance sheet while reducing leverage. Our operating model reflects a global commercial organization with an Americas regional platform, modeled on VF's operations in Europe and Asia-Pacific, all of which support VF's global brands. We remain focused on our turnaround, however, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve our strategic business priorities, that such measures will result in the intended outcomes, or that even if such measures are successfully accomplished, they will be effective in fueling sustainable and profitable growth in the future.

We are supporting our turnaround priorities by building our brands, enhancing and leveraging our capabilities such as supply chain and information technology across VF and bolstering our direct-to-consumer business, including strategically opening and closing stores, remodeling and trying new formats for our existing stores and growing our e-commerce business. In addition, "The VF Way" operating principles are a set of standardized processes across brands and regions which allow us to leverage our multi-brand competitive advantages to drive improved performance. However, we may not be able to turnaround and grow our business. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to streamline and right-size our cost base.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to strengthen our balance sheet while reducing leverage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to successfully implement our operating model with the establishment of a global commercial organization or identify and capture efficiencies in our operating model.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to successfully support our global brands through our operating model.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to successfully generate savings to invest in brand building and product innovation, or effectively deploy such savings towards investments in our brands and product innovation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to successfully implement "The VF Way" operating principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to achieve the expected results from our supply chain initiatives and establish and maintain effective supply chain systems, data, and capabilities, infrastructure, and the sourcing strategy necessary to optimally meet current and future business needs, including direct-to-consumer needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may have difficulty recruiting, developing or retaining qualified employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to achieve our direct-to-consumer expansion goals, including in e-commerce, recommerce, or other new channels, manage our growth effectively, successfully integrate the planned new stores into our operations, operate our new, remodeled and expanded stores profitably, adapt our business model or develop relationships with consumers for e-commerce or other new channels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to offset rising commodity, conversion or other costs in our product costs with pricing actions or efficiency improvements.

Failure to implement our strategic objectives, including our turnaround strategy, may have a material adverse effect on VF's business.

Further, organizational effectiveness, agility and execution are important to VF's success. Failure to create an agile and efficient operating model and organizational structure, including within VF's global commercial organization, or to effectively define, prioritize, and align on clear achievable and appropriately resourced strategic priorities could result in an inability to remain competitive in a rapidly changing marketplace and lead to increase in costs, inefficient resource allocation, reduced productivity, organizational confusion, and reduced employee morale.

***Disruptions of our supply chain, which is dependent on international suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on our operating and financial results.***

Our supply chain may be disrupted due to factors such as geopolitical instability and conflicts, inflationary pressures, macroeconomic conditions, pandemics, trade wars, and other factors including reduced freight availability and increased costs, port disruption, distribution center closures, extreme weather conditions due to climate change or otherwise, natural disasters, military conflicts, terrorism, or labor supply shortages or

stoppages. Any significant disruption in our supply chain could impair our ability to procure or distribute our products, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***VF relies significantly on information technology. Any inadequacy, interruption, operational failure or security failure of this technology could harm VF's ability to effectively operate its business.***

Our ability to effectively manage and operate our business depends significantly on information technology systems. For example, we rely heavily on information technology to track sales and inventory and manage our supply chain. We are also dependent on information technology, including the Internet, for our direct-to-consumer sales, including our e-commerce operations and retail business credit card transaction authorization, as well as our corporate business operations. Despite our preventative efforts, our systems and those of third parties on which we rely are frequently targeted by cyberattacks of varying levels of severity, including the incident reported by VF in December 2023. These systems may be vulnerable to damage, failure or interruption, and the data that they hold may be vulnerable to encryption or theft, due to cyberattacks, malicious programs, data security incidents, technical malfunctions, natural disasters or other causes, or in connection with upgrades to our system or the implementation of new systems. Some of our systems are older and are no longer supported by the original manufacturer. The failure of our systems and those of third parties on which we rely to operate effectively or remain innovative, our inability to keep up with rapid technological change (including the successful utilization of data analytics, AI and machine learning), problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, difficulty in integrating new systems or systems of acquired businesses or a breach in security of these systems has, and in the future could again, adversely impact the operations of VF's business. These impacts could affect, among other things, our reputation, management of inventory, ordering and replenishment of products, sourcing and distribution of products, retail store and e-commerce operations, retail business credit card transaction authorization and processing, corporate email communications and our interaction with the public on social media, and did affect our management of inventory, ordering and replenishment of products, sourcing and distribution of products, retail store and e-commerce operations, and corporate email communications. Moreover, failure to provide effective digital (including omni-channel) capabilities and information technology infrastructure could result in an inability to meet current and future business needs and a resulting loss of brand competitiveness, leading to loss of revenue and market share and decreased business agility.

Cybersecurity threats and the techniques used in cyberattacks change, develop and evolve rapidly, including from emerging technologies, such as advanced forms of AI. We may fail to adapt as quickly as necessary to meet the rapidly-changing threat environment.

***VF is subject to cybersecurity, information security and privacy risks that could negatively affect its business operations, results of operations or reputation.***

In the normal course of business, we collect, retain and transmit certain sensitive and confidential information, including payment information and personal information, over public networks. There is a significant concern by consumers and employees over the security of personal information, identity theft and user

privacy. Cybersecurity and information security breaches are increasingly sophisticated and can be difficult to detect for long periods of time. Accordingly, if unauthorized parties gain access to our networks or databases, such as with the incident reported by VF in December 2023, or those of third parties on which we rely, they have, and could continue to, be able to steal, publish, delete, hold ransom or modify our private and sensitive information, including payment information, personal information, and confidential or other proprietary business information.

We are subject to frequent cyberattacks of varying levels of severity and threats to our business from a variety of bad actors, many of whom attempt to gain unauthorized access to, steal or compromise our confidential information and systems. For example, we detected unauthorized occurrences on a portion of our information technology systems in December 2023.

In addition, cybersecurity threat actors may use AI tools, including generative AI, to deploy increasingly advanced attacks on our and our business partners' information technology systems. The increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, including through the use of AI, may create a demand for us to use increasingly sophisticated AI in our cybersecurity defense efforts. We face risks that we will fail to combat the offensive use of AI sufficiently or that we will fail to deploy defensive tools using AI adequately, either because we are unable to anticipate the risks accurately in a rapidly-evolving landscape or because we lack the knowledge or resources to adequately address the cybersecurity threats and opportunities associated with AI.

While we have implemented systems and processes designed to protect against unauthorized access to or use of personal information and other confidential information and rely on encryption and authentication technologies to effectively secure transmission of such information, including payment information, there is no guarantee that they will be able to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and information in the future. Our facilities and systems, and those of third parties on which we rely, are frequently the target of cyberattacks of varying levels of severity and have been, and may in the future be vulnerable, and we may and have been unable to prevent, anticipate or detect security breaches and data loss.

In addition, we face amplified cybersecurity risks as a result of the number of employees we employ, including a number of employees working remotely. These amplified risks include increased demand on our information technology resources and systems, and an increase in the number of points of potential attack on networks that we do not control, such as home WiFi networks. Employees may intentionally or inadvertently cause cybersecurity breaches that result in unauthorized access to our systems or the unauthorized release of personal or confidential information.

VF and its consumers and customers could suffer harm if valuable business data, or employee, consumer, customer and other confidential and proprietary information were corrupted, lost, accessed or misappropriated by third parties due to a cyberattack, a security failure in VF's systems, or due to one of our third-party service providers or our employees. Any such breach, including, without limitation, the incident reported by VF in December 2023, has and could require significant expenditures to remediate; could cause damage to our reputation, to confidence in our e-commerce platforms and to our relationships with customers, consumers, employees and

third parties on whom we rely; has and could result in business disruption, negative media attention and lost sales; and has and could expose us to risks of litigation, liability and increased scrutiny from regulatory entities. In addition, as a result of recent security breaches at a number of prominent retailers and other companies, media and public scrutiny of information security and privacy has become more intense, and the regulatory environment has become increasingly uncertain, rigorous and complex. As a result, we may incur significant costs to comply with laws regarding the privacy and security of personal information, and we may not be able to comply with new data protection laws and regulations being adopted around the world. Any failure to comply with the laws and regulations and consumer expectations surrounding the privacy and security of personal information has and could in the future subject us to legal and reputational risk, including significant fines and/or litigation for non-compliance in multiple jurisdictions, negative media coverage, diminished consumer confidence and decreased attraction to our brands, any of which could have a negative impact on revenues and profits. In addition, while we maintain cyber insurance policies, those existing insurance policies have not and may not adequately protect VF from all of the adverse effects and damages that could be caused by a security breach. Moreover, if our employees or business partners, intentionally or inadvertently, misuse consumer data or are not transparent with consumers about how we use their data, our brands, reputation and relationships with consumers could be damaged.

***The use or misuse of AI and the failure to use AI, present risks and challenges that may negatively impact our business.***

Our business operates in a highly competitive space, and our success may require the adoption of new and emerging technologies, such as AI, and specifically generative AI, by us or our business partners. Failure to adapt to a rapidly changing technological environment or failure to adopt emerging technologies in a timely manner could result in negative impacts to our business.

We also face risks from the adoption of new technologies such as AI if we or our business partners use them incorrectly or in ways that introduce new risks. We or our business partners may incorporate AI tools into their offerings which may not meet existing or rapidly changing regulatory, ethical or industry standards and may inhibit our or our business partners' ability to maintain an adequate level of service.

The development of AI technologies is complex, and there are challenges associated with achieving the desired level of accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. The algorithms and models utilized in generative AI systems may have limitations, including biases, errors, or inability to handle certain data types or scenarios. Furthermore, there is a risk of system failures, disruptions, or vulnerabilities that could compromise the integrity, security, or privacy of data inputs or the generated content. These limitations or failures could result in reputational harm, legal liabilities, or loss of consumer, customer, employee or business partner confidence.

If we or our business partners use AI to make decisions that affect consumers, customers, employees or job applicants, the AI may be subject to biases or other types of unfair decision-making that may negatively impact those individuals and create legal or reputational risk for us.

If we or our business partners use AI to create intellectual property (IP), such as product designs, patents, trademarks, or copyrightable text or code, we may be subject to IP rights claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding rights to the IP that we or our business partners have developed using AI, or we may face the risk of not being able to adequately secure the rights to the IP created. We or our business partners may also experience loss of IP or other proprietary or confidential information through user input of such information into AI tools.

Uncertainty in the regulatory regime relating to AI may require significant resources to modify and maintain business practices to comply with U.S. and international laws, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time. Several jurisdictions around the globe, including the European Union ("EU") and certain U.S. states, have proposed or enacted laws governing AI. Other jurisdictions may decide to adopt similar or more restrictive legislation that may render the use of such technologies challenging. These obligations and restrictions may lead to regulatory fines or penalties for non-compliance, make it harder for us to conduct our business using AI, require us to change our business practices, or prevent or limit our use of AI. If we or our business partners cannot use AI, or that use is restricted, our business may be less efficient, or we may be at a competitive disadvantage. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***There are risks associated with VF's acquisitions, divestitures and portfolio management.***

Any acquisitions, divestitures or mergers by VF, including our completed sale of the *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand to Bluestar Alliance LLC, will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in acquisitions or divestitures of companies, businesses or brands. These risks include, among other things, higher than anticipated acquisition or divestiture costs and expenses, the difficulty and expense of integrating or separating the operations, systems and personnel of the companies, businesses or brands, the loss of key employees and consumers as a result of changes in management or ownership, and slower progress toward environmental, social and governance goals given challenges with data acquisition and integration, the difficulty of accessing and disclosing sufficient environmental, social and governance data to comply with current and emerging environmental, social and governance regulations, and integration of environmental, social and governance initiatives overall. In addition, geographic distances may make integration of acquired businesses more difficult. We may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions or divestitures. Moreover, failure to effectively manage VF's portfolio of brands in line with growth targets and shareholder expectations, including acquisition choices, integration approach, transaction pricing and divestiture timing could result in unfavorable impacts to growth and value creation.

Our acquisitions and divestitures may cause large one-time expenses or create goodwill or other intangible assets that could result in significant impairment charges. We also make certain estimates and assumptions in order to determine purchase price allocation and estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If our estimates or assumptions used to value these assets and liabilities are not accurate, we may be exposed to losses that may be material.

On September 15, 2025, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement for Bluestar Alliance LLC to acquire the

*Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand from VF for $600 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. On November 12, 2025, we completed the *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand sale. Although the sale is completed, we may not realize some or all the expected benefits of separating the brand, including strategic and other objectives. Further, divestitures involve significant challenges and risks, including the need to provide transition services, which may result in stranded costs and the diversion of resources and focus; and the need to separate operations, systems, and technologies, which is an inherently risky and potentially lengthy and costly process.

***VF uses third-party suppliers and manufacturing facilities worldwide for its raw materials and finished products, which poses risks to VF's business operations.***

During Fiscal 2026, VF's products were sourced from independent manufacturers primarily located in Asia. Any of the following could impact, and in some cases has impacted, our ability to source or deliver VF products, or our cost of sourcing or delivering products and, as a result, our profitability:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imposition of duties, tariffs, taxes and other charges on imports;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political or labor instability in areas where VF's contractors and suppliers are located;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inflationary pressures or changes in local economic conditions in areas where VF's contractors and suppliers are located;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• public health issues such as pandemics could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political or military conflict could cause a delay in the transportation of products to VF and an increase in transportation costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruption at ports of entry has caused, and in the future could cause, delays in product availability and increase transportation times and costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• heightened terrorism security concerns could subject imported or exported goods to additional, more frequent or lengthier inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundment of goods for extended periods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased risk of detention by customs officials of raw materials or goods used by our suppliers in the manufacture of our products, and increased risk of detention of our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decreased scrutiny by customs officials for counterfeit goods, leading to more counterfeit goods and reduced sales of VF products, increased costs for VF's anti-counterfeiting measures and damage to the reputation of its brands;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• disruptions at manufacturing or distribution facilities or in shipping and transportation locations caused by natural and man-made disasters (including potential effects from extreme environmental conditions or potential climate risks and impacts) or political or military conflicts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imposition of regulations and quotas relating to imports could create regulatory compliance challenges and our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations could limit our ability to source products in cost-effective countries that have the required labor and expertise; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imposition or the repeal of laws that affect intellectual property rights.

There continues to be uncertainty in the current global trade regime due to recent changes in, and proposals and declared intentions to change trade policy, including trade restrictions, the negotiation, renegotiation or termination of trade agreements, and the imposition of new tariffs or increases in existing tariffs on imports into the affected countries. Tariffs and other changes in trade policy have triggered in the past, are currently triggering and could continue to trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, including through the use of counter tariffs and other measures, which has resulted in higher costs, and may result in higher future costs, or restrictions, on the importation of the products we sell. Our supply chain is geographically diverse, and we continuously identify alternative sourcing manufacturers and countries to minimize reliance on a single source. We may be unable to shift sourcing locations timely, if at all, to relocate production from a country when new or increased duties, tariffs, taxes or other charges are imposed. In addition, higher costs in sourcing from other countries, including because others in the industry seek to shift production for the same reason, may make such a sourcing shift cost-prohibitive. We may not be able to, or could choose not to, pass the entire cost increase resulting from tariffs, duties, taxes or other expenses onto consumers and customers. Any increase in prices to consumers could have an adverse impact on our sales to consumers and customers and as a result, on our profits. Any adverse impact on such sales or increase in our cost of goods sold could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Although no single supplier and no one country is critical to VF's production needs, if we were to lose a supplier it could result in interruption of finished goods shipments to VF, cancellation of orders by customers and termination of relationships. This, along with the potential damage to our reputation, could have a material adverse effect on VF's revenues and, consequently, our results of operations.

In addition, although we audit our third-party material suppliers and contracted manufacturing facilities and set strict compliance standards, actions by a third-party supplier or manufacturer that fail to comply could result in such third-party supplier failing to manufacture products that consistently meet our quality standards, violating human rights, engaging in unfavorable labor practices, causing environmental impacts such as pollution or providing unfavorable working conditions that negatively impact worker health, safety and wellness. Such noncompliance could expose VF to claims for damages, financial penalties, delay or inability to clear goods through customs authorities, operational disruptions and reputational harm, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

***A significant portion of VF's revenues and gross profit is derived from a small number of large customers. The loss of any of these customers or the inability of any of these customers to pay VF could substantially reduce VF's revenues and profits.***

A few of VF's customers account for a significant portion of revenues. Sales to VF's ten largest customers were approximately 17% of total revenues in Fiscal 2026, with our largest customer accounting for approximately 4% of revenues. Sales to our customers are generally on a purchase order basis and not subject to long-term agreements. A decision by any of VF's major customers to significantly decrease the volume of

products purchased from VF could substantially reduce revenues and have a material adverse effect on VF's financial condition and results of operations.

***Talent acquisition, management, engagement and retention are important factors in VF's success. Turnover in VF's leadership or other key positions may have a material adverse effect on VF.***

Our future success also depends on our ability to acquire, develop, and retain talent needed to mobilize VF against our current and future needs and sustain our culture as a performance-driven company that is committed to its values. Competition for experienced and well-qualified personnel is intense and we may not be successful in attracting, developing, and retaining such personnel, which could impact VF's ability to remain competitive. Our ability to acquire, develop and retain personnel has been, and may continue to be impacted by, wage inflation, labor shortages, increased employee turnover, and changes in availability of the workforce as well as the broader labor market. Additionally, changes to our office environments, the adoption of new work models, and our requirements and/or expectations about when or how often certain employees work on-site or remotely may not meet the expectations of our employees. If our employee proposition is not perceived as favorable compared to other companies, it could negatively impact our ability to acquire and retain our employees. If we are unable to retain, acquire, and engage talented employees with the appropriate skill sets, or if changes to our organizational structure, operating results, or business model adversely affect morale, productivity or retention, we may not achieve our objectives, our relationships with our customers, consumers or other third parties may be disrupted, and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

VF depends on the services and management experience of its executive officers and business leaders who have substantial experience and expertise in VF's business, and in developing and retaining employees. This loss of experience and expertise can be mitigated through successful hiring and transition, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such efforts. Acquiring and retaining qualified senior leadership may be more challenging under adverse business conditions. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these key employees or the inability to effectively identify a suitable successor to a key role could have a material adverse effect on VF.

Leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage; inadequate transitions may cause disruption to our business, including to our relationships with our employees and other third parties. Further, these changes also increase our dependency on other remaining members of our global leadership team further increasing the risk of potential disruption.

***VF's direct-to-consumer business includes risks that could have an adverse effect on its results of operations.***

VF sells merchandise directly to consumers through VF-operated stores and e-commerce sites. Its direct-to-consumer business is subject to numerous risks that could have a material adverse effect on its results. Risks include, but are not limited to, (i) U.S. or international resellers purchasing merchandise and reselling it outside VF's control, (ii) failure or interruption of the systems that operate the stores and websites, and their related support systems, including due to computer viruses, theft of consumer information, privacy concerns, telecommunication failures, electronic break-ins and similar

disruptions, technical malfunctions, and natural disasters or other causes, (iii) retail and credit card fraud and theft, (iv) risks related to VF's direct-to-consumer distribution centers and processes, (v) shift in consumer preferences away from retail stores, and (vi) loss of inventory due to damage, theft (including from organized retail crime), and other causes. Risks specific to VF's e-commerce business also include (i) diversion of sales from VF stores or wholesale customers, (ii) difficulty in recreating the in-store experience through e-commerce channels, (iii) liability for digital content, (iv) changing patterns of consumer behavior and not keeping up with new and emerging digital selling models, (v) intense competition from online retailers, and (vi) fraud. VF's failure to successfully respond to these risks might adversely affect sales in its e-commerce business, as well as damage its reputation and brands.

Our VF-operated stores and e-commerce business require substantial fixed investments in equipment and leasehold improvements, information systems, inventory and personnel. We have entered into substantial operating lease commitments for retail space. Due to the high fixed-cost structure associated with our direct-to-consumer operations, a decline in sales or the closure of or poor performance of individual or multiple stores could result in significant lease termination costs, write-offs of equipment, leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets, and employee-related costs.

***VF's net sales depend on the volume of traffic to its stores and the availability of suitable lease space.***

A significant portion of our revenues are direct-to-consumer sales through VF-operated stores. In order to generate consumer traffic, we locate many of our stores in prominent locations within successful retail shopping centers or in fashionable shopping districts. Our stores benefit from the ability of the retail center and other attractions in an area to generate consumer traffic in the vicinity of our stores. Part of our future growth is significantly dependent on our ability to operate stores in desirable locations with capital investment and lease costs providing the opportunity to earn a reasonable return. We cannot control the development of new shopping centers or districts; the availability or cost of appropriate locations within existing or new shopping centers or districts; competition with other retailers for prominent locations; or the success of individual shopping centers or districts. Further, if we are unable to renew or replace our existing store leases or enter into leases for new stores on favorable terms, or if we violate the terms of our current leases, our growth and profitability could be harmed. All of these factors may impact our ability to meet our growth targets and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

***VF may be unable to protect its trademarks and other intellectual property rights.***

VF's trademarks and other intellectual property rights are important to its success and its competitive position. VF is susceptible to others copying its products and infringing its intellectual property rights, especially with the shift in product mix to higher priced brands and innovative new products in recent years. Some of VF's brands, such as *The North Face*<sup>®</sup>, *Vans*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> enjoy significant worldwide consumer recognition, and the higher pricing of certain of the brands' products creates additional risk of counterfeiting and infringement.

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

VF's trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property are important to VF's success. Counterfeiting of VF's products or infringement on its intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brands, damage our reputation, and adversely affect VF's revenues. Actions we have taken to establish and protect VF's intellectual property rights may not be adequate to prevent copying of its products by others or to prevent others from seeking to invalidate its trademarks or block sales of VF's products as a violation of the trademarks and intellectual property rights of others. In addition, unilateral actions in the U.S. or other countries, including changes to or the repeal of laws recognizing trademark or other intellectual property rights, such as the Russian government's announcements that it would not protect intellectual property rights, including patent rights and rights that could block parallel imports of gray market goods, as a result of the sanctions imposed on Russia in connection with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, could have an impact on VF's ability to enforce those rights.

The value of VF's intellectual property could diminish if others assert rights in or ownership of trademarks and other intellectual property rights of VF, or trademarks that are similar to VF's trademarks, or trademarks that VF licenses from others. We may be unable to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In some cases, there may be trademark owners who have prior rights to VF's trademarks because the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. In other cases, there may be holders who have prior rights to similar trademarks.

There have been, and there may in the future be, opposition and cancellation proceedings from time to time with respect to some of VF's intellectual property rights. In some cases, litigation may be necessary to protect or enforce our trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Furthermore, third parties may assert intellectual property claims against us, and we may be subject to liability, required to enter into costly license agreements, if available at all, required to rebrand our products and/or prevented from selling some of our products if third parties successfully oppose or challenge our trademarks or successfully claim that we infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their trademarks, copyrights, patents or other intellectual property rights. Bringing or defending any such claim, regardless of merit, and whether successful or unsuccessful, could be expensive and time-consuming and have a negative effect on VF's business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

***If VF encounters problems with its distribution system, VF's ability to deliver its products to the market could be adversely affected.***

VF relies on owned or leased VF-operated and third party-operated distribution facilities to warehouse and ship product to

VF customers and consumers. VF's distribution system includes computer-controlled and automated equipment, which may be subject to a number of risks related to security or computer viruses, the proper operation of software and hardware, power interruptions or other system failures. Because substantially all of VF's products are distributed from a relatively small number of locations, VF's operations could also be interrupted by earthquakes, extreme environmental conditions, fires, floods or other natural disasters (including potential climate risks and impacts) or other events outside VF's control affecting its distribution centers, including political or labor instability. We maintain business interruption insurance under our property and cyber insurance policies, but they may not adequately protect VF from the adverse effects that could be caused by significant disruptions in VF's distribution facilities. In addition, VF's distribution capacity is dependent on the timely performance of services by third parties, including the transportation of product to and from its distribution facilities. If we encounter problems with our distribution system, our ability to meet customer expectations, manage inventory, complete sales and achieve operating efficiencies could be materially adversely affected.

***VF's business and operations could be materially and adversely affected if it fails to create systems of monitoring, prevention, response, crisis management, continuity and recovery to mitigate natural or man-made economic, public health, political or environmental disruptions.***

Business resiliency is important to VF's success because there are a variety of risks generally associated with doing business on a global basis that may involve natural or man-made economic, public health, political or environmental disruptions. Disruptions, and government responses to any disruption, could cause, among other things, a decrease in consumer spending that would negatively impact our sales, delays in the fulfillment or cancellation of customer orders or disruptions in the manufacture and shipment of products, increased costs and a negative impact on our reputation and long-term growth plans. The impact of disruptions may vary based on the length and severity of the disruption. VF's failure to create and implement systems of monitoring, prevention, response, crisis management, continuity and recovery to anticipate, prepare, prevent, mitigate, and respond to potential threats impacting its business, people, processes and facilities could result in extended disruptions and unpredictability.

**LEGAL, REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISKS**

***VF's operations and earnings may be affected by legal, regulatory, political and economic uncertainty and risks.***

Our ability to maintain the current level of operations in our existing markets and to capitalize on growth in existing and new markets is subject to legal, regulatory, political and economic uncertainty and risks. These include the burdens of complying

with U.S. and international laws and regulations, and changes in regulatory requirements.

Changes in regulatory, geopolitical policies and other factors may adversely affect VF's business, results of operations and financial condition or may require us to modify our current business practices. While enactment of any such change is not certain, if such changes were adopted or if we failed to anticipate

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

and mitigate the impact of such changes, our costs could increase, which would reduce our earnings. Any such change could adversely affect worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets.

Beginning in February 2022, in response to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization member states, as well as non-member states, and the EU announced targeted economic sanctions on Russia, including certain Russian citizens and enterprises, and the continuation of the conflict may trigger additional economic and other sanctions. To date, we have experienced revenue impacts due to business model changes in Russia, currency devaluation, and costs associated with compliance with sanctions and other regulations. For example, we have closed all VF-operated retail stores, terminated all leases and ceased all direct-to-consumer e-commerce operations in Russia. In addition, as of March 28, 2026, there was approximately $50.4 million of cash in Russia that, although it can be used without limits within Russia, is currently limited on movement out of Russia. Further impacts of the conflict could include macro financial impacts resulting from the exclusion of Russian financial institutions from the global banking system, volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy, heightened cybersecurity threats, harm to employee health and safety, reputational harm, increase in counterfeiting and intellectual property infringement activity, nationalization of our assets, and additional costs associated with compliance with sanctions and other regulations and risks associated with failure to comply with the same. Although our operations in Russia are not significant, the conflict could escalate and result in broader economic and security concerns, including in other geographies, which could in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

As a result of our global operations, we are subject to a number of risks impacting our employees working outside the U.S., including regulations that may differ from or be more stringent than analogous U.S. regulations, political or economic instability, cross-border political tensions and challenges in effectively managing employees in foreign jurisdictions. VF is subject to increased tax and regulatory risks related to employees working remotely or otherwise in a tax location other than their normal work location or residential state or country. These changes have created, and continue to create, challenges in managing our tax and regulatory compliance as well as acquiring and retaining cross-border talent, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Changes to U.S. or international trade policy, tariff and import/export regulations or our failure to comply with such regulations may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Changes and uncertainty in U.S. or international social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories or countries where we currently sell our products or conduct our business, as well as any negative sentiment toward the U.S. as a result of such changes, could adversely affect our business. There is currently significant uncertainty around the tariffs and trade policies of the U.S. government and the governments of foreign countries with respect to tariffs, tariff refunds, international trade agreements, and economic sanctions. Such volatility has the potential to

adversely impact the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof, our industry and the global demand for our products, and as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the U.S. government has instituted changes in trade policies imposing higher tariffs on imports into the U.S. Tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy have in the past triggered, are currently triggering and could continue to trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments have instituted, considered or are considering imposing retaliatory measures on certain U.S. goods. The timing of any tariff refunds that are legally owed to VF is uncertain as it is subject to the establishment of processes and systems by the U.S. government. In addition, import bans and other laws impacting sourcing of raw materials and finished goods may lead to greater supply chain compliance costs and delays to us and to our suppliers and customers.

***Changes in tax laws could increase our worldwide tax rate and tax liabilities and materially affect our financial position and results of operations.***

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Many countries in the EU and around the globe have adopted or proposed significant changes to current tax laws. These changes include rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") to address tax challenges arising from the digitization of the economy (i.e., Global Anti Base Erosion ("GloBE") rules and Subject to Tax Rule ("STTR") or "Pillar Two") and are expected to increase our tax obligations and compliance costs in the countries where VF operates. We continue to evaluate the impact of these changes on our income tax expense, profitability and capital allocation decisions.

Due to the large scale of our U.S. and international business activities, many of these enacted and proposed changes to the taxation of our activities are expected to increase our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our financial position and results of operations.

***We may have additional tax liabilities from new or evolving government or judicial interpretation of existing tax laws.***

As a global company, we determine our income tax liability in various tax jurisdictions based on an analysis and interpretation of U.S. and international tax laws and regulations. This analysis requires a significant amount of judgment and estimation and is often based on various assumptions about the future actions of tax authorities. These determinations are the subject of periodic U.S. and international tax audits and court proceedings. In particular, tax authorities and the courts have increased their focus on income earned in no- or low-tax jurisdictions or income that is not taxed in any jurisdiction. Tax authorities have also become skeptical of special tax rulings provided to companies offering lower taxes than may be applicable in other countries.

Although we accrue for uncertain tax positions, our accrual may be insufficient to satisfy unfavorable findings. Unfavorable audit findings, or court interpretations (involving VF or other companies with similar tax profiles) may result in payment of taxes, fines and penalties for prior periods and higher tax rates in future periods, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

***Our business is subject to international, national, state and local laws and regulations for environmental, consumer protection, corporate governance, competition, employment, privacy, safety and other matters. The costs of compliance with, or the violation of, such laws and regulations by VF or by independent suppliers who manufacture products for VF could have an adverse effect on our operations and cash flows, as well as on our reputation.***

Our business is subject to comprehensive international, national, state and local laws and regulations on a wide range of matters such as environmental, climate risk, consumer protection, social, employment, privacy, safety and other matters. VF could be adversely affected by costs of compliance with or violations of those laws and regulations. In addition, while we do not control their business practices, we require third-party suppliers to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding working conditions, safety, employment practices, the environment and other areas. The costs of products purchased by VF from independent contractors could increase due to the costs of compliance by those contractors.

Failure by VF or its third-party suppliers to comply with such laws and regulations, as well as with ethical, social, product, safety, labor and environmental standards, or related political considerations, could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including resulting in interruption of finished goods shipments to VF, extensive remediation efforts, cancellation of orders by customers and termination of relationships. If VF or one of our independent contractors violates labor or other laws, implements improper labor or other business practices or takes other actions that are generally regarded as unethical, it could result in unwanted or negative media attention, jeopardize our reputation and potentially lead to various adverse consumer actions, including boycotts that may reduce demand for VF's products. Damage to VF's reputation or loss of consumer confidence for any of these or other reasons could have a material adverse effect on VF's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as require additional resources to rebuild VF's reputation.

Our operations are also subject to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and other anti-bribery laws applicable to our operations. Although we have policies and procedures to address compliance with the FCPA and similar laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, agents and other partners will not take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation could subject us to sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business and operating results.

***We are subject to periodic litigation and regulatory proceedings, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

We are currently involved in, and may from time to time in the future become involved in, legal actions and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. These include, or may in the future include, actions, demands, claims, lawsuits, government investigations or other legal proceedings, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property rights, breaches of contract or warranties, employment-related matters, compliance with securities or other laws, regulatory matters, customs matters, data privacy and cybersecurity matters and commercial matters. See "Item 3—Legal Proceedings" for additional information. In general, claims made by us or against us in litigation, disputes, or other proceedings

can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against and could result in settlements, injunctions, or damages that could significantly affect our business. It is not possible to predict the final resolution of the litigation, disputes, or proceedings to which we currently are or may in the future become party to. Regardless of the final resolution, such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition, and business, including by utilizing our resources and potentially diverting the attention of our management from the operation of our business.

***Climate risks and increased focus by governmental and non-governmental organizations, customers, consumers and investors on sustainability issues, including those related to climate risks and socially responsible activities, may adversely affect our business and financial results and damage our reputation.***

Climate risks due to extreme environmental conditions may impact our business in numerous ways. Failure to monitor, adapt, build resilience, and develop solutions against the physical and transitional impacts from extreme environmental conditions may lead to revenue loss, market share loss, business interruptions, physical damage to our facilities, and rising costs. Extreme environmental conditions could lead to increased volatility due to physical impacts of environmental conditions on the supply chain, including the availability, quality and cost of raw materials. Increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events (such as storms and floods) could cause increased incidence of disruption to the production and distribution of our products, increased costs for our business, including maintenance, repair, utilities and insurance costs, and an adverse impact on consumer demand and spending.

Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, other market participants, shareholders, and other stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations, employees, and consumers, have been interested in the social and environmental practices of companies. These parties have placed importance on the implications of the social cost of their investments and/or have higher expectations of corporate conduct. If our environmental, social and governance practices do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, including related to climate risk, corporate responsibility, social impact, and human rights, and do not meet related regulations and expectations for increased transparency, which continue to evolve, our brands, reputation and employee retention may be negatively impacted. In addition, governmental and self-regulatory organizations, including the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group ("EFRAG"), promulgate rapidly changing rules and regulations addressing environmental, social and governance topics. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity and have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, uncertainty in the requirements for compliance and increased expenses and increased management time and attention spent complying with or meeting such rules and regulations. For example, collection and assurance of environmental, social and governance data, developing and acting on initiatives within the scope of environmental, social and governance, and collecting, measuring and reporting environmental, social and governance related information and targets can be costly, difficult and time consuming and is subject to evolving reporting standards, including climate- and nature-related disclosure requirements and the EU's environmental, social and governance-related disclosure requirements set forth in the Corporate Sustainability

Reporting Directive ("CSRD"), and similar proposals and laws by other domestic and international regulatory bodies. If our environmental, social and governance related data, information, processes or reporting are incomplete or inaccurate, our reputation, business, financial performance and growth could be adversely affected. For example, customer expectations with respect to our ability to meet rapidly evolving environmental, social and governance reporting standards in the EU member states and other countries may impact our ability to do business with customers, or otherwise present barriers to entry, which could result in an adverse impact on our business, financial performance and growth.

It is possible that stakeholders may oppose our environmental, social and governance practices or disagree with them. It is also possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our environmental, social and governance practices or the speed of their adoption. While we may announce voluntary environmental, social and governance targets, we may not be able to meet such targets in the manner or on such a timeline as initially contemplated, including, but not limited to as a result of unforeseen costs or technical difficulties associated with achieving such results. Achieving environmental, social and governance targets will require significant efforts from us and other stakeholders, such as our suppliers and other third parties, and also require capital investment, additional costs, and the development of technology that may not currently exist. In addition, we could be criticized for the scope or nature of such targets, or for any revision to those targets. We could also incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report, and comply with various environmental, social and governance practices and regulations. Also, our failure, or perceived failure, to manage reputational threats and meet stakeholder expectations or shifting consumer and customer preferences with respect to environmentally or socially responsible activities and products and packaging and sustainability commitments and regulations could negatively impact our brand, image, reputation, credibility, employee retention, and the willingness of our customers and suppliers to do business with us.

**FINANCIAL RISKS**

***VF's balance sheet includes a significant amount of intangible assets and goodwill. A decline in the fair value of an intangible asset or of a business unit could result in an asset impairment charge, such as the recent impairment charges related to the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill.***

VF's policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. In addition, intangible assets that are being amortized are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For these impairment tests, we use various valuation methods to estimate the fair value of our business units and intangible assets. If the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, a downward revision in Napapijri financial projections triggered VF to perform a quantitative analysis of the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded an impairment charge of $30.7 million to the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill.

It is possible that we could have another impairment charge for goodwill or trademark and trade name intangible assets in future periods if (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in Fiscal 2027 or future years vary from our current assumptions (including changes in discount rates, foreign currency exchange rates and tariffs), (iii) business conditions or our strategies for a specific business unit change from our current assumptions, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or of actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower comparable multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and, accordingly, lower implied values of goodwill and intangible assets. Any future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material

effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

***Fluctuations in wage rates and the price, availability and quality of raw materials and finished goods could increase costs.***

Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of purchased finished goods or the fabrics, leather, cotton or other raw materials used therein could have a material adverse effect on VF's cost of goods sold or its ability to meet its customers' demands. Prices of purchased finished products may depend on wage rate increases required by legal or industry standards in Asia and other geographic areas where our independent contractors are located, as well as increasing freight costs from those regions. Inflation, including as a result of inflationary pressures related to global supply chain disruptions, can also have a long-term impact on us because increasing costs of materials and labor may impact our ability to maintain satisfactory margins. For example, the cost and availability of the materials that are used in our products, such as oil-related commodity prices and other raw materials, such as cotton, dyes and chemical and other costs, such as fuel, energy and utility costs, can fluctuate significantly as a result of inflation in addition to many other factors, including general economic conditions and demand, crop yields, oil and energy prices, weather patterns, water supply quality and availability, public health issues and speculation in the commodities markets. A significant portion of our products also are manufactured in other countries and declines in the values of the U.S. dollar may result in higher manufacturing costs. In the future, VF may not be able to offset cost increases with other cost reductions or efficiencies or to pass higher costs on to its consumers and customers. This could have a material adverse effect on VF's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

***VF's business is exposed to the risks of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. VF's hedging strategies may not be effective in mitigating those risks.***

A significant portion of VF's total revenue (approximately 56% in Fiscal 2026) is derived from markets outside the U.S. Many of VF's international businesses operate in functional currencies

other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates affect the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency-denominated amounts at which VF's international businesses purchase products, incur costs or sell products. In addition, for VF's U.S.-based businesses, the majority of products are sourced from independent contractors located in foreign countries. As a result, the costs of these products are affected by changes in the value of the relevant currencies. Furthermore, much of VF's licensing revenue is derived from sales in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have an adverse impact on VF's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. VF also has foreign currency debt obligations (euro bonds) and as a result is exposed to risks related to maturity and interest cash outflows which could be adversely impacted by significant appreciation of foreign currency exchange rates (particularly the euro), which could adversely impact our overall cash flows and interest expense.

In accordance with our operating practices, we hedge a significant portion of our foreign currency transaction exposures arising in the ordinary course of business to reduce risks in our cash flows and earnings. Our hedging strategy may not be effective in reducing all risks, and no hedging strategy can completely insulate VF from foreign exchange risk.

Further, our use of derivative financial instruments may expose VF to counterparty risks. Although VF only enters into hedging contracts with counterparties having investment grade credit ratings, it is possible that the credit quality of a counterparty could be downgraded or a counterparty could default on its obligations, which could have a material adverse impact on VF's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

***Our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, if needed, could be adversely affected by geopolitical risk and volatility in the capital markets, including interest rate risks.***

Any disruption in the capital markets could limit the availability of funds or the ability or willingness of financial institutions to extend capital to VF in the future. Future volatility in the financial and credit markets, including adverse interest rates, could make it more difficult for us to obtain financing or refinance existing debt, on terms that would be acceptable to us. This disruption or volatility could adversely affect our liquidity and funding resources or significantly increase our cost of capital. An inability to access capital and credit markets may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, if the U.S. or another material country's government were to default on its debt obligations, the U.S. and global capital markets would be adversely affected and our liquidity and cost of capital would be adversely impacted.

***VF's indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations and prevent VF from fulfilling its financial obligations, and VF may not be able to maintain its current credit ratings, may not continue to pay dividends or repurchase its common stock and may not remain in compliance with existing debt covenants.***

As of March 28, 2026, VF had approximately $3.5 billion of debt outstanding. VF's debt and interest payment requirements could have important consequences on its business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, they could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require VF to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to repaying its indebtedness, which

would reduce the availability of its cash flow to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, future acquisitions, dividends, repurchases of VF's common stock, and for other general corporate purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit VF's flexibility in planning for or reacting to general adverse economic conditions or changes in its business and the industries in which it operates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• place VF at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less indebtedness outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• negatively affect VF's credit ratings and limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in VF's debt documents and its ability to borrow additional funds.

VF's credit ratings may impact the cost and availability of future borrowings. In addition, VF may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future to fund acquisitions, repurchase common stock or fund other activities for general business purposes. If VF incurs additional indebtedness, it may limit VF's ability to access the debt capital markets or other forms of financing in the future and may result in increased borrowing costs.

Although VF has historically declared and paid quarterly cash dividends on its common stock and has been authorized to repurchase its stock subject to certain limitations under its share repurchase programs, any determinations by the Board of Directors to continue to declare and pay cash dividends on VF's common stock or to repurchase VF's common stock will be based primarily upon VF's financial condition, results of operations and business requirements, its access to debt capital markets or other forms of financing, the price of its common stock in the case of the repurchase program and the Board of Directors' continuing determination that the repurchase programs and the declaration and payment of dividends are in the best interests of VF's shareholders and are in compliance with all laws and agreements applicable to the repurchase and dividend programs. Our cash dividend payments may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we will increase our cash dividend payment or declare cash dividends in any particular amount or at all. A reduction in the amount or suspension of our cash dividend payments or a reduction in the level or discontinuation of our share repurchases could have a negative effect on VF's stock price.

VF is required to comply with certain financial and other restrictive debt covenants in its debt documents. These restrictions, in combination with our leveraged condition, may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy, grow our business or compete with companies not similarly restricted, and we cannot assure that we will be able to comply with our financial or other covenants or that any covenant violations would be waived in the future. Failure by VF to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on VF if the lenders declare any outstanding obligations to be immediately due and payable, suspend commitments to make any advances, or require any outstanding letters of credit to be collateralized by an interest bearing cash account, any or all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***VF is subject to the risk that its licensees may not generate expected sales or maintain the value of VF's brands.***

During Fiscal 2026, $49.7 million of VF's revenues were derived from licensing royalties. Although VF generally has significant control over its licensees' products and advertising, we rely on our licensees for, among other things, operational and financial controls over their businesses. Failure of our licensees to successfully market licensed products or our inability to replace existing licensees, if necessary, could adversely affect VF's revenues, both directly from reduced royalties received and indirectly from reduced sales of our other products. Risks are also associated with a licensee's ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• manage its labor relations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain relationships with its suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• manage its credit risk effectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain relationships with its customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adhere to VF's Global Compliance Principles.

In addition, VF relies on its licensees to help preserve the value of its brands. Although we attempt to protect VF's brands through approval rights over design, production processes, quality, packaging, merchandising, distribution, advertising and promotion of our licensed products, we cannot completely control the use of licensed VF brands by our licensees. The misuse of a brand by a licensee, including through the marketing of products under one of our brand names that do not meet our quality standards, could have a material adverse effect on that brand and on VF.

***Volatility in securities markets, interest rates and other economic factors could substantially increase VF's defined benefit pension costs.***

VF currently has obligations under its defined benefit pension plans. The funded status of the pension plans is dependent on many factors, including returns on invested assets and the discount rates used to determine pension obligations. Unfavorable impacts from returns on plan assets, changes in discount rates, changes in plan demographics or revisions in the applicable laws or regulations could materially change the timing and amount of pension funding requirements, which could reduce cash available for VF's business.

VF's operating performance also may be negatively impacted by the amount of expense recorded for its pension plans. Pension expense is calculated using actuarial valuations that incorporate assumptions and estimates about financial market, economic

and demographic conditions. Differences between estimated and actual results give rise to gains and losses that are deferred and amortized as part of future pension expense, which can create volatility that adversely impacts VF's future operating results.

In May 2025 VF executed a resolution to terminate VF's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, which is frozen and no longer accrues benefits. In February 2026, VF completed the termination of the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants and the purchase of group annuity contracts to settle the remaining benefit obligations.

***The spin-off of Kontoor Brands, Inc. could result in substantial tax liability to us and our shareholders.***

We received opinions of tax advisors substantially to the effect that, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the May 22, 2019 spin-off of our Jeans business, Kontoor Brands, Inc. ("Kontoor Brands") and certain related transactions qualify for tax-free treatment under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. However, if the factual assumptions or representations made by us in connection with the delivery of the opinions are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, including those relating to the past and future conduct of our business, we will not be able to rely on the opinions. Furthermore, the opinions are not binding on the IRS or the courts. If, notwithstanding receipt of the opinions, the spin-off transaction and certain related transactions are determined to be taxable, we would be subject to a substantial tax liability. In addition, if the spin-off transaction is taxable, each holder of our common stock who received shares of Kontoor Brands in connection with the spin-off would generally be treated as receiving a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received.

Even if the spin-off otherwise qualifies as a tax-free transaction, the distribution would be taxable to us (but not to our shareholders) in certain circumstances if future significant acquisitions of our stock or the stock of Kontoor Brands are deemed to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that included the spin-off. In this event, the resulting tax liability could be substantial. In connection with the spin-off, we entered into a tax matters agreement with Kontoor Brands, pursuant to which Kontoor Brands agreed to not enter into any transaction that could cause any portion of the spin-off to be taxable to us without our consent and to indemnify us for any tax liability resulting from any such transaction. In addition, these potential tax liabilities may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us.

**GENERAL RISKS**

***Regional epidemics or global pandemics may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Public health crises, such as the COVID-19 global pandemic have, and may in the future, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A significant outbreak or resurgence of infectious disease in countries and territories where we operate and where our employees, suppliers, third-party service providers, consumers or customers are located could result in significant reductions in demand and significant volatility in demand for our products by consumers and customers, resulting in reduced orders, order cancellations, lower revenues, higher discounts, increased inventories, decreased value of inventories and lower gross margins. We may be negatively impacted by significant uncertainty and turmoil in global economic and financial market conditions causing, among other things: decreased consumer confidence and decreased consumer spending, inability to access financing in the credit and capital markets (including the commercial paper market) at reasonable rates (or at all), increased exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, and volatility in the availability and prices for commodities and raw materials we use for our

products and in our supply chain. We may fail to meet our consumers' and customers' needs for inventory production and fulfillment due to disruptions in our supply chain and increased costs associated with mitigating the effects of a pandemic.

These impacts have placed, and could continue to place, limitations on our ability to execute our business plan and

materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Measures to contain a global pandemic may exacerbate other risks discussed in this "Risk Factors" section, any of which could have a material effect on us.

**ITEM 1B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.**<br>

None.

**ITEM 1C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CYBERSECURITY.**

Our business operations and relationships with consumers, customers, employees and business partners rely heavily on information technology ("IT") systems and data. We also recognize the need to continually assess cybersecurity risk and evolve our management approach in the face of a rapidly and ever-changing environment. Accordingly, we aim to protect our business operations, including consumer, employee and confidential business records and information, against known

and evolving cybersecurity threats. We have established processes for identifying, assessing, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats using a systematic framework intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Company's important IT systems and data.

Oversight responsibility in this area is shared by the Board, its Audit Committee, and management.

---

Management receives a cybersecurity and information security maturity assessment from a third-party assessor biennially to gain a third-party view of our cybersecurity and information security program. We have integrated the identification, assessment and management of cybersecurity risks into VF's enterprise risk management program, ensuring alignment with our overall approach to risk oversight by the Board, its committees, and management. The Board receives an annual update from VF senior leadership on cybersecurity and information security matters. The Audit Committee receives regular reports from VF senior leadership, including the CISO, on cyber threats, information security risks and controls, and other program updates, as well as enterprise risk management program updates. The Audit Committee regularly briefs the Board on these cybersecurity matters, and the Board also receives periodic briefings on cyber threats and best practices to enhance our directors' literacy on cybersecurity and information security issues.

We place a high priority on securing confidential business information and the sensitive personal information we receive and store about our consumers, customers and employees. We have systems in place to securely receive and store that information and to detect, contain, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. We also have processes to manage risk from cybersecurity threats associated with third parties, including service providers, such as risk assessments and contractual requirements that include cybersecurity measures. In addition, we have a cybersecurity and information security training and compliance program in place to support our teams who work in areas of cybersecurity and information security risk. As part of this program, VF employees who have access to confidential information receive training at least annually on cybersecurity and information security. To respond to the threat of security

breaches and cyberattacks, VF maintains a program, overseen by VF's CISO and COO, that is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and continued availability of all information and systems owned by, or in the care of, VF. This program also includes a cyber incident response plan that provides processes for timely and accurate reporting of any material cybersecurity incident. Our CISO has over thirty years of experience as a cybersecurity professional, including experience as the CISO of two large retailers, and reports to our COO, who leads our digital and technology functions and has over twenty years of experience enabling digital transformation for global companies. In addition, members of VF's information security, IT and privacy teams have broad experience and expertise in selecting, deploying and operating cybersecurity technologies, initiatives and processes around the world. VF also engages service providers, consultants and other third parties in connection with these processes to provide augmented cybersecurity capabilities, deliver strategic advice, provide assurance regarding the effectiveness of certain processes and assist in cybersecurity incident response efforts, as needed. VF also maintains a cybersecurity risk insurance policy.

VF's IT systems have been subject to cybersecurity incidents in the past and there is no guarantee that future cybersecurity incidents will not have a material impact in the future. To learn more about risks from cybersecurity threats, see the following risk factors in Item 1A of this Part I, under the headings, "VF relies significantly on information technology. Any inadequacy, interruption, operational failure or security failure of this technology could harm VF's ability to effectively operate its business," and "VF is subject to cybersecurity, information security and privacy risks that could negatively affect its business operations, results of operations or reputation."

**ITEM 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PROPERTIES.**<br>

The following is a summary of VF Corporation's principal owned and leased properties as of March 28, 2026.

VF's global headquarters are located in a 285,000 square foot, leased facility in Denver, Colorado. In addition, we own and lease facilities in Stabio, Switzerland and lease offices in Shanghai, China, which serve as our European and Asia-Pacific regional headquarters, respectively. We also own or lease brand headquarter facilities throughout the world.

We own a 180,000 square foot facility in Greensboro, North Carolina that serves as a corporate shared service center. We lease shared service facilities in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Dalian, China that support our Asia-Pacific operations. Our sourcing hubs are located in Singapore, Panama City, Panama, and Stabio, Switzerland.

Our largest distribution centers by region are located in Ontario, California; Almelo, the Netherlands; and Kunshan, China. In total, we operate 13 owned or leased distribution centers primarily in the U.S., but also in the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, China, United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Mexico and Israel.

In addition to the principal properties described above, we lease many offices worldwide for sales and administrative purposes. We operate 1,080 retail stores across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. Retail stores are generally leased under operating leases and include renewal options. We believe all facilities and machinery and equipment are in good condition and are suitable for VF's needs.

**ITEM 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.**<br>

Other than the putative securities class action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado discussed in Note 22, Commitments and Contingencies, there are no pending material legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business, to which VF or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is the subject.

SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental regulations if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to SEC regulations, VF uses a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. VF believes that this threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceedings that are material to VF's business or financial condition. Applying this threshold, there are no such proceedings to disclose for this period.

**ITEM 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.**<br>

**OVERVIEW**

VF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as "VF" or the "Company") is a portfolio of leading outdoor and active brands, including *The North Face*<sup>®</sup>, *Vans*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland*<sup>®</sup>. VF is committed to providing consumers with innovative products that are rooted in performance and elevated design, while delivering sustainable and long-term value for its employees, communities, and shareholders.

VF is diversified across brands, product categories, channels of distribution, geographies and consumer demographics. We own a broad portfolio of brands in the apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories categories. Our products are marketed to consumers through our wholesale channel, primarily in specialty stores, national chains, mass merchants, department stores,

independently-operated partnership stores and with strategic digital partners. Our products are also marketed to consumers through our own direct-to-consumer operations, which include VF-operated stores, concession retail stores, brand e-commerce sites and other digital platforms.

VF is organized by groupings of brands and businesses represented by its reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. The two reportable segments are Outdoor and Active. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an "All Other" category.

**BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

VF operates and reports using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. All references to the years ended March 2026 ("Fiscal 2026"), March 2025 ("Fiscal 2025") and March 2024 ("Fiscal 2024") relate to the 52-week fiscal years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024, respectively.

The following discussion and analysis focuses on our financial results for the years ended March 2026 and 2025 and year-to-year comparisons between these years. A discussion of our results of operations for the year ended March 2025 compared to the year ended March 2024 is included in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our <u>[Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103379/000010337925000023/vfc-20250329.htm)</u>, filed with the SEC on May 22, 2025, and is incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K.

All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. All percentages shown in the tables below and the discussion that follows have been calculated using unrounded numbers.

References to the year ended March 2026 foreign currency amounts and impacts below reflect the changes in foreign

exchange rates from the year ended March 2025 when translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. VF's most significant foreign currency exposure relates to business conducted in euro-based countries. Additionally, VF conducts business in other developed and emerging markets around the world with exposure to foreign currencies other than the euro.

On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell the *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand business ("Dickies"). On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. All references to the impact of Dickies divestiture below represent the difference between Dickies revenue recognized in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 (through the date of sale) and the amount of Dickies revenue recognized in the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2025. The Company determined that the sale of Dickies did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. Refer to Note 3 to VF's consolidated financial statements for additional information on the divestiture.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brand is

managed and the chief operating decision maker's key areas of focus. VF began managing its *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland PRO*<sup>®</sup> brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with *The North Face*<sup>®</sup> brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *Kipling*<sup>®</sup>, *Eastpak*<sup>®</sup> and *Jansport*<sup>®</sup> brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an "All Other" category. This group includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>. In the tables below, the Company has recast historical financial information to reflect the new reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations. Refer to additional discussion in the "Information by Reportable Segment" section below and Note 21 to VF's consolidated financial statements.

On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the

*Supreme*<sup>®</sup> brand business ("Supreme"). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, VF has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented. In addition, interest expense and the related interest rate swap impact for the delayed draw Term Loan ("DDTL"), which totaled $31.1 million for the year ended March 2025, were allocated to discontinued operations due to the requirement within the DDTL Agreement, as amended, that the DDTL be prepaid upon the receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme. Refer to Note 3 to VF's consolidated financial statements for additional information on discontinued operations.

Unless otherwise noted, amounts, percentages and discussion for all periods included below reflect the results of operations and financial condition from VF's continuing operations.

**RECENT DEVELOPMENTS**

***Conflict in the Middle East***

The conflict in the Middle East, which began during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, has contributed to heightened geopolitical uncertainty, including impacts to global supply chains and increased fuel and oil costs. These and other factors may lead to broader macroeconomic implications, such as decreased consumer spending. While the length, scope and intensity of the conflict is unknown, VF does not believe the impact will be material, but will continue to monitor the evolving macroeconomic environment and its ability to mitigate the impact on VF's business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Dickies Divestiture***

As noted above, VF completed the sale of Dickies on November 12, 2025. In connection with the closing of the transaction, VF received proceeds of $600.5 million, net of cash sold. VF recorded a final pre-tax gain of $127.2 million in the year ended March 2026, which included a reduction to the gain to reflect final working capital adjustments of $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, which will be paid in Fiscal 2027. The pre-tax gain is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.

***Impact of Tariffs***

In April 2025, the U.S. government announced broad-based, reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports under the International Emergency Economic Power Act ("IEEPA"). In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed under the IEEPA. Immediately following the IEEPA ruling, the U.S. government imposed additional new tariffs under other statutory authorities, resulting in a rapidly evolving tariff environment.

VF paid tariffs totaling $149.7 million imposed under IEEPA, and on February 20, 2026 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that these tariffs were deemed invalid. Further, on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ruled that U.S. Customs and Border

Protection ("CBP") must refund IEEPA tariffs that were collected, with interest. As a result, VF recorded a tariff refund receivable of $149.7 million related to tariffs paid under IEEPA from April 2025 until February 20, 2026. Interest is not included due to the uncertainty of the amount but is not believed to be material. On April 20, 2026, approximately $57 million of IEEPA entries were submitted for refund processing. Submission and processing of the remaining IEEPA tariffs is subject to finalization of the process for the next phase of refunds by CBP. VF will re-evaluate its assessment at each reporting period based on any new information.

The tariff refund receivable is included in the accounts receivable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 2026. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $93.8 million as a reduction to cost of goods sold. As of March 2026, $55.9 million is recorded as a reduction to inventory and will be recognized as a decrease in cost of goods sold as the inventory turns.

Also, VF recorded a liability of $37.6 million as of March 2026, reflecting the portion of the refund that VF has committed to reimburse certain vendors and partners, which is included in the accounts payable line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $22.7 million as an increase to cost of goods sold and $14.9 million as an increase to inventory. Amounts that are deferred into inventory will be recognized as an increase in the cost of goods sold as the inventory turns. Reimbursements will not be made to vendors and partners until after collection of the applicable IEEPA refunds.

VF has a diversified sourcing country mix. Approximately 85% of products purchased for sale in the U.S. are sourced through Southeast Asia and Central and South America, with Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Indonesia comprising the top four sourcing markets. Less than 2% of total U.S. products are sourced through China.

While the tariff situation is dynamic and evolving, VF continues to analyze the impact of tariffs on our business and has taken steps

to mitigate our tariff exposure. Mitigation strategies have included, and may continue to include, sourcing optimization, accelerating production and shipments into the U.S., negotiations with our vendors and tactical price increases. The duration and scope of the tariffs are difficult to predict, along with the extent to which VF will be able to offset the impact through our mitigation efforts. VF will continue to monitor and evaluate new information as it becomes available.

***Reinvent***

On October 30, 2023, VF introduced Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential. The first announced steps in this transformation covered the following priorities: improve North America results, deliver the *Vans*<sup>®</sup> turnaround, reduce costs and strengthen the balance sheet.

In Fiscal 2025, the Company initiated the second phase of Reinvent, which is focused on a return to growth and improvements to profitability. In doing so, the Company initiated a set of transformational workstreams focused on revenue growth, margin expansion and selling, general and

administrative expense contraction. VF aims to generate between $500.0 and $600.0 million in net operating income expansion in Fiscal 2028 compared to the end of Fiscal 2024.

Reinvent restructuring charges in the year ended March 2026 were $14.9 million and cumulative charges were $205.0 million since the inception of the program, which primarily included costs associated with severance and employee-related benefits and the impact of asset impairments and write-downs.

All restructuring actions related to Reinvent were substantially complete at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. In addition, as further discussed in Note 24 to VF's consolidated financial statements, VF has entered into a contract with a consulting firm to support Reinvent. Fees related to the contract consist of fixed fees for services performed and contingent fees tied to increases in VF's stock price. Services provided under the contract were substantially complete by the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 and contingent fees tied to increases in VF's stock price will be measured through June 2027.

For additional information regarding recent developments, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

***Year Ended March 2026 Compared to Year Ended March 2025***

VF reported a 1% increase in revenues in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, including a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency. Increases in the Outdoor segment in Fiscal 2026 and favorable impacts from foreign currency were partially offset by decreases in the Active segment and decreased revenue due to the Dickies divestiture in the current year. In Fiscal 2026,

revenue increases in the Europe region, including favorable impacts from foreign currency, were partially offset by decreases in the Asia-Pacific region.

Additional details on revenues are provided in the section titled "Information by Reportable Segment".

| | **2026** | **2025** |

***Year Ended March 2026 Compared to Year Ended March 2025***

Gross margin increased 130 basis points to 54.8% in Fiscal 2026 compared to 53.5% in Fiscal 2025. The increase in gross margin in Fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by higher quality inventory, lower product costs, increased pricing and favorable foreign currency impacts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased 90 basis points ($36.4 million) in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to cost savings from Reinvent, including lower information technology costs, partially offset by increased advertising costs in Fiscal 2026 and gains recognized from sale leaseback transactions in Fiscal 2025. The decrease was also due to lower Reinvent restructuring charges and project-related costs in Fiscal 2026.

During the year ended March 2026, VF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $30.7 million related to the Napapijri reporting unit. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, due to a recent downward revision in the Napapijri forward-looking financial projections, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Recent leadership changes within the brand have resulted in strategic actions that are projected to deliver short- to medium-term revenue and profit reductions to support long-term growth of the brand. The goodwill impairment primarily related to the reduction in financial projections for Napapijri.

During the year ended March 2025, VF recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $89.2 million related to the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset and Icebreaker reporting unit. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring a quantitative analysis of the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, and as a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded an indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset impairment charge of $51.0 million. As a result of VF's annual impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $38.2 million related to the Icebreaker reporting unit.

In Fiscal 2026, operating margin increased to 6.0% from 3.2% in Fiscal 2025, primarily due to the items described above.

Net interest expense remained relatively flat in Fiscal 2026, compared to Fiscal 2025, as unfavorable foreign currency impacts were offset by the March 2025 early redemption of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2.400% Senior Notes due in April 2025. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt averaged $4.5 billion and $5.0 billion for Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025, respectively, with short-term borrowings representing 6.2% and 4.1% of average debt outstanding for the respective years. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding debt was 3.2% in both Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025.

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of components of net periodic pension cost (excluding the service cost component), certain foreign currency and hedging gains and losses and other non-operating gains and losses. Other income (expense) netted to ($86.6) million and ($9.4) million in Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025, respectively. Other income (expense), net in Fiscal 2026 included non-cash pension settlement charges of $192.1 million related to the termination of the U.S. qualified plan and $25.1 million of excise taxes related to the termination. Other income (expense), net also included the final pre-tax gain on the sale of Dickies of $127.2 million. Other income (expense), net in Fiscal 2025 primarily included equity investment impairments of $15.6 million, cyber insurance recoveries of $13.7 million received in Fiscal 2025, $4.2 million of net periodic pension cost and $2.3 million of foreign currency and hedging losses.

The effective income tax rate was 25.3% in Fiscal 2026 compared to 52.2% in Fiscal 2025. The Fiscal 2026 effective income tax rate included a net discrete tax benefit of $5.5 million, which included a $44.4 million net tax benefit related to unrecognized tax benefits and interest, a $12.4 million tax expense related to stock compensation, a $16.0 million tax expense related to return to accrual adjustments, and a $10.6 million net tax expense related to other audit adjustments. Refer to Note 20 to VF's consolidated financial statements for additional information. The $5.5 million net discrete tax benefit in Fiscal 2026 decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.6% compared to an unfavorable 13.4% impact of discrete items for Fiscal 2025. Excluding discrete items, the effective tax rate during Fiscal

2026 decreased by approximately 12.0% primarily due to jurisdictional mix of earnings.

As a result of the above, income from continuing operations in Fiscal 2026 was $254.9 million ($0.64 per diluted share),

compared to $69.3 million ($0.18 per diluted share) in Fiscal 2025.

Refer to additional discussion in the "Information by Reportable Segment" section below.

**Information by Reportable Segment**<br>

As discussed above, VF realigned its reportable segments during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. VF's new reportable segments are Outdoor and Active. We have included an "All Other" category in the revenues table below for purposes of reconciliation of total revenues. "All Other" includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment. The Company has recast historical financial information to reflect the new reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations.

The primary financial measures used by management to evaluate the financial results of VF's reportable segments are segment revenues and segment profit. Segment profit comprises the operating income and other income (expense), net line items of each segment.

Refer to Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of results of operations by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

**Reconciliation of Segment Profit to Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes**

There are four types of costs necessary to reconcile total segment profit to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes. These costs are (i) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, which is excluded from segment profit because these costs are not part of the ongoing operations of the respective businesses, (ii) corporate and other expenses, which are excluded from segment profit to the extent they are not allocated to the segments, (iii) interest expense, net, which is excluded from segment profit because substantially all financing costs are managed at the corporate office and are not under the control of segment management and (iv) profit related to the "All Other" category, which includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>. The "All Other" grouping represents the aggregation of brands that do not meet the quantitative threshold for disclosure and it is not a reportable segment. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and net interest expense are discussed in the "Consolidated Statements of Operations" section, and corporate and other expenses and profit related to the "All Other" category are discussed below.

Corporate and other expenses are those that have not been allocated to the segments for internal management reporting, including (i) information systems and shared service costs, (ii) corporate headquarters costs, and (iii) certain other income and expenses.

*Information Systems and Shared Services*

These costs include management information systems and the centralized finance, supply chain and human resources functions that support worldwide operations. The costs also include software system implementations and upgrades and other strategic projects. Operating costs of information systems and shared services are charged to the segments based on utilization of those services. Costs to develop new software and related applications are generally not allocated to the segments.

*Corporate Headquarters' Costs*

Headquarters' costs include compensation and benefits of corporate management and staff, legal and professional fees, and general and administrative expenses that have not been allocated to the segments.

*Other*

This category includes (i) costs of corporate programs or corporate-managed decisions that are not allocated to the segments, (ii) costs of registering, maintaining and enforcing certain of VF's trademarks, and (iii) miscellaneous consolidated activities, the most significant of which is related to VF's centrally-managed U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

Corporate and other expenses decreased $34.9 million in Fiscal 2026 when compared to Fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the final pre-tax gain on the sale of Dickies of $127.2 million, cost savings from Reinvent, lower Reinvent restructuring charges and project-related costs, lower information technology costs and no equity investment impairments compared to prior year. The decrease was partially offset by pension settlement charges of $192.1 million and excise taxes of $25.1 million related to the termination of the U.S. qualified plan in Fiscal 2026.

The increase in "All Other" profit for the year ended March 2026 was primarily due to higher gross margin, driven by higher quality inventory, partially offset by lower gross profit related to Dickies.

**International**

International revenues increased 2% in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025. Foreign currency had a favorable impact of 5% on international revenues in Fiscal 2026.

Revenues in the Europe region increased 4% in Fiscal 2026, including a 7% favorable impact from foreign currency. Revenues in the Americas (non-U.S.) region increased 4% in Fiscal 2026, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign

currency. In the Asia-Pacific region, revenues decreased 1% in Fiscal 2026, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency. Revenues in Greater China (which includes Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) decreased 2% in Fiscal 2026, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency.

International revenues were 56% of total VF revenues in Fiscal 2026 compared to 55% in Fiscal 2025.

**Direct-to-Consumer**

Direct-to-consumer revenues increased 2% in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, including a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency.

VF's e-commerce business increased 4% in Fiscal 2026, including a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency. The increase was primarily due to increased e-commerce revenues in the Americas region.

Revenues from VF-operated retail stores decreased 1% in Fiscal 2026, including a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency, primarily due to a decrease in the Americas region. VF opened 61 stores in Fiscal 2026, bringing the total number of VF-owned retail stores to 1,080 at March 2026, which also reflects 108 store closures (including stores related to the Dickies divestiture) during the period. There were 1,127 VF-owned retail stores at March 2025. Direct-to-consumer revenues were 44% of total VF revenues in both Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025.

**Wholesale**

Wholesale revenues increased 1% in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, including a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency. The results were primarily driven by revenue increases in the wholesale business in the Europe region,

including favorable impacts from foreign currency, partially offset by a decrease in the Americas region. Wholesale revenues were 56% of total revenues in both Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025.

**ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION**<br>

**Consolidated Balance Sheets**

The following discussion refers to significant changes in balances at March 2026 compared to March 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Increase in accounts receivable* — primarily due to a tariff refund receivable of $149.7 million, partially offset by the removal of Dickies from the Consolidated Balance Sheet in connection with the completed divestiture in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026. Dickies' accounts receivable balance at March 2025 was $116.9 million. The increase was also due to the timing of collections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Decrease in inventories* — primarily due to the removal of Dickies from the Consolidated Balance Sheet in connection with the completed divestiture in the third

quarter of Fiscal 2026. Dickies' inventory balance at March 2025 was $134.2 million. The decrease was also due to foreign currency fluctuations and VF reducing the level of slow-moving and excess inventory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Decrease in intangible assets* — primarily due to the removal of Dickies from the Consolidated Balance Sheet in connection with the completed divestiture in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Decrease in current portion of long-term debt* — due to the early redemption of €500.0 million ($582.2 million) of long-term notes due in March 2026.

**Liquidity and Cash Flows**

We consider the following to be measures of our liquidity and capital resources:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| (Dollars in millions) | **March 2026** | **March 2025** |
| Working capital | $1828.3 | $1088.2 |
| Current ratio | 1.8 to 1 | 1.4 to 1 |
| Net debt to total capital | 69.2% | 76.8% |

---

The increase in working capital and the current ratio at March 2026 compared to March 2025 was primarily due to a net decrease in current liabilities driven by decreased current portion of long-term debt as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above. The increase in working capital and the current ratio was also due to a net increase in current assets driven by higher cash balances and higher accounts receivables, partially offset by a decrease in inventories, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above.

For the ratio of net debt to total capital, net debt is defined as short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, in addition to operating lease liabilities, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is defined

as net debt plus stockholders' equity. The decrease in the net debt to total capital ratio at March 2026 compared to March 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in net debt due to the early redemption of €500.0 million ($582.2 million) of long-term notes in February 2026, as discussed in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets" section above and higher cash and cash equivalents at March 2026. The decrease in the net debt to total capital ratio at March 2026 compared to March 2025 was also due to an increase in stockholders' equity, primarily driven by net income in the period.

VF's primary source of liquidity is its expected annual cash flow from operating activities. Cash from operations is typically lower in the first half of the calendar year as inventory builds to

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

support peak sales periods in the second half of the calendar year. Cash provided by operating activities in the second half of the calendar year is substantially higher as inventories are sold and accounts receivable are collected. Additionally, direct-to-consumer sales are highest in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. VF's additional sources of liquidity include available borrowing capacity against its $1.5 billion secured asset based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), available cash balances and international lines of credit.

In summary, our cash flows from continuing operations were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended March** | **Year Ended March** |
| (In millions) | **2026** | **2025** |
| Cash provided by operating activities | $671.3 | $438.5 |
| Cash provided by investing activities | 407.1 | 1432.5 |
| Cash used by financing activities | (737.8) | (2146.0) |

---

***Cash Provided by Operating Activities***

Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on income (loss) from continuing operations, adjustments to income (loss) from continuing operations and changes in working capital. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025 was primarily due to an increase in income from continuing operations, excluding non-cash charges and the final gain on the sale of Dickies, and the pension termination asset reversion, net of $125.4 million, partially offset by an increase in net cash used by working capital and the excise tax related to the pension termination asset reversion.

***Cash Provided by Investing Activities***

The decrease in cash provided by investing activities in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025 was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of Supreme, net of cash sold, of $1.506 billion in the prior year period compared to proceeds from the sale of Dickies, net of cash sold, of $600.5 million in Fiscal 2026. Fiscal 2025 also included proceeds from the sale of assets of $88.2 million, primarily related to a sale leaseback transaction of a distribution center, sale of an aircraft hangar, sale of a corporate-owned aircraft and sale of an office building.

***Cash Used by Financing Activities***

The decrease in cash used by financing activities in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025 was primarily due to a $1.0 billion prepayment of the DDTL and a $750.0 million early redemption of long-term debt in Fiscal 2025, compared to a €500.0 million ($582.2 million) early redemption of long-term debt in Fiscal 2026.

***Share Repurchases***

VF did not purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market during Fiscal 2026 or Fiscal 2025 under the share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of Directors.

As of the end of Fiscal 2026, VF had $2.5 billion remaining for future repurchases under its share repurchase authorization. VF's capital deployment priorities in the near-to-medium term will be focused on reducing leverage and reinvesting a portion of cost savings to drive profitable and sustainable growth.

***ABL Credit Facility and Short-term Borrowings***

VF relies on its ability to generate cash flows to finance its ongoing operations. In addition, VF has significant liquidity from

its available cash balances and credit facilities. On August 26, 2025, VF entered into a credit agreement that provides the Company with a $1.5 billion senior secured asset based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), subject to a borrowing base that is composed of eligible credit card receivables, eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory and eligible in-transit inventory. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100.0 million swing-line subfacility. Multicurrency borrowings are available under the credit agreement, including borrowings in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, sterling, and Swiss francs (subject to certain limitations as set forth in the credit agreement).

The Agent, as defined in the credit agreement, has discretion to establish various reserves against the borrowing base, as outlined in the credit agreement, including a requirement for a Debt Maturity Reserve to be established beginning 90-days prior to the maturity of any Material Indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement.

The ABL Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of August 26, 2030 and replaces VF's previous $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit, dated November 24, 2021 (as amended, the "Terminated Agreement"). Outstanding short-term balances may vary from period to period depending on the level of corporate requirements and operational needs.

The ABL Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include, among other things, required financial reporting, limitations on indebtedness and granting certain liens, restrictions on fundamental changes to the business, restrictions on disposal of assets, restrictions on changes to the nature of the business, restrictions on prepayment of certain indebtedness, restricted payment limitations, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those typical for credit facilities of this type. Certain actions restricted by the negative covenants are permitted so long as Payment Conditions, as defined in the credit agreement, are satisfied.

The ABL Credit Facility includes a financial covenant that requires VF to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the 12-month period ending on the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter. However, the financial covenant only applies if at any time Global Excess Availability (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap (as defined in the credit agreement), and (ii) $100.0 million, and ceases to apply when Global Excess Availability has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10.0% of

the Global Line Cap, and (ii) $100.0 million for 30 consecutive days. As of March 2026, specified availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, the financial covenant was not applicable.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants as of March 2026.

VF had a global commercial paper program that allowed for borrowings of up to $2.25 billion to the extent that it had borrowing capacity under the Terminated Agreement. The U.S. commercial paper borrowing program was terminated as of May 2025 and the euro commercial paper borrowing program was terminated as of January 2025.

As of March 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. Reserves for outstanding, unfunded letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility were $0.3 million as of March 2026. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $977.2 million as of March 2026, after giving effect to the borrowing base, outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit.

VF has $72.5 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either VF or the banks. Total outstanding balances under these arrangements were $10.1 million at March 2026. Borrowings under these arrangements had a weighted average interest rate of 46.3% at March 2026, related to borrowings in certain highly inflationary economies.

Additionally, VF had $823.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 2026.

***Redemption***

On February 7, 2026, VF completed an early redemption of €500.0 million ($582.2 million) in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.125% Senior Notes due March 2026. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

***Supply Chain Financing Program***

VF facilitates a voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") program that enables a significant portion of our inventory suppliers to leverage VF's credit rating to receive payment from participating financial institutions prior to the payment date specified in the terms between VF and the supplier. The SCF program is

administered through third-party platforms that allow participating suppliers to track payments from VF and elect which receivables, if any, to sell to the financial institutions. The transactions are at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions, and VF is not a party to the agreements and has no economic interest in the supplier's decision to sell a receivable. The terms between VF and the supplier, including the amount due and scheduled payment terms (which are generally within 90 days of the invoice date) are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF program. All amounts due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program are included in the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets and VF payments made under the SCF program are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in VF's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At March 2026 and 2025, the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets included total outstanding obligations of $466.0 million and $481.7 million, respectively, due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program.

***Rating Agencies***

At the end of March 2026, VF's long-term debt ratings were 'BB' by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") Global Ratings and 'Ba2' by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"). VF's credit rating outlook was 'stable' by S&P and 'negative' by Moody's at the end of March 2026. Further downgrades to VF's ratings would negatively impact borrowing costs.

None of VF's long-term debt agreements contain acceleration of maturity clauses based solely on changes in credit ratings. However, if there were a change in control of VF and, as a result of the change in control the notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if required by the respective holders of the notes. The change of control provision applies to all notes, except for the notes due in 2033.

***Dividends***

Cash dividends totaled $0.36 per share in both Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025. The dividend payout ratio was 55.9% of diluted earnings (loss) per share in Fiscal 2026 compared to (74.5%) in Fiscal 2025. The Company declared a dividend of $0.09 per share that is payable in the first quarter of Fiscal 2027. Subject to approval by its Board of Directors, VF intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends.

***Contractual Obligations***

Following is a summary of VF's material contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of March 2026 that will require the use of funds:

---

| Recorded liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term debt <sup>(1)</sup> | $3541 | $— | $1076 | $576 | $— | $750 | $1140 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Operating leases <sup>(2)</sup> | 1655 | 386 | 318 | 230 | 178 | 136 | 407 |

---

Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

(1)Long-term debt consists of required undiscounted principal payments on long-term debt.

(2)Operating leases represent required undiscounted lease payments during the noncancelable lease term. Variable payments for occupancy-related costs, real estate taxes, insurance and contingent rent are not included above. In addition, approximately $103.4 million of leases (on an undiscounted basis) that have not yet commenced with terms of 2 to 12 years beginning primarily in Fiscal 2027 are not included above.

(3)Interest payment obligations represent required interest payments on long-term debt. Amounts exclude amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discounts and acquisition costs that would be included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.

(4)Inventory obligations represent binding commitments to purchase finished goods and raw materials that are payable upon VF taking ownership of the inventory. This obligation excludes the amount included in accounts payable at March 2026 related to inventory purchases.

VF had other financial commitments at the end of Fiscal 2026 that are not included in the above table but may require the use of funds under certain circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $125.7 million of surety bonds, custom bonds, unfunded letters of credit and international bank guarantees are not included in the table above because they represent contingent guarantees of performance under self-insurance and other programs and would only be drawn upon if VF were to fail to meet its other obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Purchase orders for goods or services in the ordinary course of business are not included in the above table

because they represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding commitments.

Management believes that VF has sufficient liquidity and flexibility to operate its business and meet its current and long-term obligations as they become due.

VF does not participate in transactions with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company.

**Risk Management**

VF is exposed to risks in the ordinary course of business. Management regularly assesses and manages exposures to these risks through operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, by (i) taking advantage of natural hedges within VF, (ii) purchasing insurance from commercial carriers, or (iii) using derivative financial instruments. Some potential risks are discussed below:

***Insured risks***

VF is self-insured for a significant portion of its employee medical, workers' compensation, vehicle and general liability exposures. VF purchases insurance from highly-rated commercial carriers to cover other risks, including directors and officers, cyber, property, stock throughput, employment practices, wage and hour and umbrella, and to establish stop-loss limits on self-insurance arrangements.

***Cash and cash equivalents risks***

VF had $823.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of Fiscal 2026. Management continually monitors the credit ratings of the financial institutions with whom VF conducts business and geopolitical risks that may impact countries where VF has cash

balances. Management also monitors the credit quality of cash equivalents.

***Defined benefit pension plan risks***

In May 2025, VF executed a resolution to terminate the U.S. qualified plan, which was previously frozen and no longer accruing benefits. In February 2026, the Company completed the termination of the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants and the purchase of group annuity contracts to settle the remaining benefit obligations.

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF offered participants the option to elect lump-sum payouts in exchange for future benefit obligations. VF recorded a $34.0 million non-cash settlement charge in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to recognize the related deferred actuarial losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCL") resulting from lump-sum payments of retirement benefits. Actuarial assumptions used in the interim valuation were reviewed and revised as appropriate.

**36** VF Corporation Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K

<u>[Table](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)[of Contents](#i89a75129694e43b3a2f14c1861130fa7_7)</u>

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF purchased a group annuity contract to transfer the remaining benefit obligation to an insurance company. The purchase of the group annuity contract was fully funded directly by plan assets. As a result, VF recorded a $158.1 million non-cash settlement charge in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to recognize the remaining deferred actuarial losses in OCL.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF transferred approximately $83.5 million of funds from plan assets to a qualified replacement plan managed by the Company which will be used to fund future incremental annual Company contributions to VF's U.S. 401(k) program. As of March 2026, $11.9 million was recorded in the other current assets line item and $71.6 million was recorded in the other assets line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining plan assets reverted to the Company as part of the final termination process. As a result, approximately $125.4 million reverted to the Company, resulting in $25.1 million of excise tax being paid and recorded in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.

At the end of Fiscal 2026, VF's remaining defined benefit pension plans were underfunded by a net total of $77.3 million. The underfunded status includes a $45.6 million liability related to our U.S. unfunded supplemental defined benefit plan and $31.7 million of net liabilities related to our non-U.S. defined benefit plans. These plans are underfunded primarily due to differences in actuarial assumptions and plan classification relative to local statutory accounting standards, which generally result in higher reported benefit obligations under U.S. GAAP. VF intends to make approximately $16.1 million of contributions to its defined benefit plans during Fiscal 2027.

VF's reported earnings are subject to risks due to the volatility of its pension cost, which has ranged in recent years from $12.1 million in the year ended March 2024 to $206.0 million in the year ended March 2026. These fluctuations are primarily due to differences in the amount of settlement charges recorded in the respective periods, including $192.1 million recorded in Fiscal 2026 related to the termination of the U.S. qualified plan. The changes are also impacted by varying amounts of actuarial gains and losses that are deferred and amortized to future years' pension cost. The assumptions that impact actuarial gains and losses include the rate of return on investments held by the pension plans, the discount rate used to value participant liabilities and demographic characteristics of the participants.

***Interest rate risks***

VF limits the risk of interest rate fluctuations by managing the mix of fixed and variable interest rate debt. In addition, VF may use derivative financial instruments to manage risk. Since all of VF's long-term debt has fixed interest rates, the exposure relates to changes in interest rates on variable rate short-term borrowings (which averaged approximately $275.0 million at a 7.2% rate during Fiscal 2026). However, any change in interest rates would also affect interest income earned on VF's cash equivalents. Based on the average amount of variable rate borrowings and cash equivalents during Fiscal 2026, the effect of a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would be an increase in reported net income of approximately $3.0 million and a hypothetical 1% decrease in interest rates would be a decrease in reported net income of approximately $3.0 million.

***Foreign currency exchange rate risks***

VF is a global enterprise subject to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. Approximately 56% of VF's revenues in the year ended March 2026 were generated in international markets. Most of VF's foreign businesses operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In periods where the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to the euro or other foreign currencies where VF has operations, there is a negative impact on VF's operating results upon translation of those foreign operating results into the U.S. dollar. As discussed later in this section, management hedges VF's investments in certain foreign operations and foreign currency transactions.

The reported values of assets and liabilities in these foreign businesses are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For net advances to and investments in VF's foreign businesses that are considered to be long-term, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on those long-term advances is deferred as a component of accumulated OCL in stockholders' equity. The U.S. dollar value of net investments in foreign subsidiaries fluctuates with changes in the underlying functional currencies. In both March 2023 and February 2020, VF issued €1.0 billion of euro-denominated fixed-rate notes. These notes have been designated as net investment hedges of VF's investment in certain foreign operations. Because this debt qualified as a nonderivative hedging instrument, foreign currency transaction gains or losses on the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and other component of accumulated OCL as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCL will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. In the year ended March 2026, VF de-designated the aggregate principal of its €500.0 million euro-denominated fixed-rate notes due 2026, and entered into a fair value hedging relationship. In February 2026, these notes were redeemed.

VF monitors net foreign currency market exposures and enters into derivative foreign currency contracts to hedge the effects of exchange rate fluctuations for a significant portion of forecasted foreign currency cash flows or specific foreign currency transactions (relating to cross-currency inventory purchases, product sales, operating costs and intercompany royalty payments). VF's practice is to buy or sell foreign currency exchange contracts that cover up to 80% of foreign currency exposures for periods of up to 24 months. Currently, VF uses only foreign exchange forward contracts but may use options or collars in the future. This use of financial instruments allows management to reduce the overall exposure to risks from exchange rate fluctuations on VF's cash flows and earnings, since gains and losses on these contracts will offset a portion of losses and gains on the transactions being hedged.

For cash flow hedging contracts outstanding at the end of Fiscal 2026, a hypothetical 10% decrease and 10% increase in foreign currency exchange rates compared to rates at the end of Fiscal 2026, would result in a decrease in the unrealized net loss of approximately $26.6 million and an increase in the unrealized net loss of approximately $21.6 million, respectively. However, any change in the fair value of the hedging contracts would be substantially offset by a change in the fair value of the underlying hedged exposure impacted by the currency rate changes.

***Counterparty risks***

VF is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative hedging instruments. To manage this risk, we have established counterparty credit guidelines and only enter into derivative transactions with financial institutions that have 'A minus/A3' investment grade credit ratings or better. VF continually monitors the credit rating of, and limits the amount hedged with, each counterparty. Additionally, management utilizes a portfolio of financial institutions to minimize exposure to potential counterparty defaults and adjusts positions as necessary. VF also monitors counterparty risk for derivative contracts within the defined benefit pension plans.

***Commodity price risks***

VF is exposed to market risks for the pricing of cotton, leather, rubber, wool, oil and other materials, primarily due to the impact

on the cost of sourced finished goods from independent contractors. To manage risks of commodity price changes, management negotiates prices of finished goods in advance when possible. VF has not historically managed commodity price exposures by using derivative instruments.

***Deferred compensation and related investment security risks***

VF has nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which liabilities to the plans' participants are based on the market values of the participants' selection of a hypothetical portfolio of investment funds. VF invests in a portfolio of securities and variable life insurance contracts that substantially mirror the participants' investment selections. The increases and decreases in deferred compensation liabilities are substantially offset by corresponding increases and decreases in the market value of VF's investments, resulting in an insignificant net exposure to operating results and financial position.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**<br>

Management has chosen accounting policies it considers to be appropriate to accurately and fairly report VF's operating results and financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our critical accounting policies are applied in a consistent manner. Significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

The application of these accounting policies requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, contingent assets and liabilities, and related disclosures. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. In addition, VF may retain

outside specialists to assist in valuations of business acquisitions and impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. Because VF's business cycle is relatively short (i.e., from the date inventory is purchased until that inventory is sold and payment is collected), actual results related to most estimates are known within a few months after any balance sheet date. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations when the actual amounts become known.

VF believes the following accounting policies involve the most significant management estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors. The application of these critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

**Business Combinations**

VF accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the closing date of the acquisition. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. VF allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date.

The application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and determination of fair value requires management to make judgments and may involve the use of significant estimates, including assumptions related to estimated future revenues, growth rates, cash flows, discount rates and royalty rates, among other items. VF generally evaluates fair value at acquisition using three valuation techniques - the replacement cost, market and income methods

- and weights the valuation methods based on what is most appropriate in the circumstances. The process of assigning fair values, particularly to acquired intangible assets, is highly subjective. VF also utilizes third-party valuation specialists to assist management in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be exposed to potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, as discussed in the "Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets and Goodwill" section below.

During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

**Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets and Goodwill**

***Definite-Lived Assets***

VF's depreciation policies for property, plant and equipment reflect judgments on the estimated economic lives and residual values, if any. VF's amortization policies for definite-lived intangible assets reflect judgments on the estimated amounts and duration of future cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. In evaluating the amortizable life for customer relationship intangible assets, management considers historical attrition patterns for various groups of customers. In determining the lease term used to amortize operating lease right-of-use assets, VF considers initial terms and any renewal or termination options that may exist. When deemed reasonably certain, the renewal and termination options are included in the determination of lease term.

VF's policy is to review property, plant and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. VF tests for potential impairment at the asset or asset group level, which is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent. VF measures recoverability of the carrying value of an asset or asset group by comparison to the estimated pre-tax undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the forecasted pre-tax undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset are not expected to be adequate to recover the asset's carrying value, a fair value analysis is performed, and an impairment charge is recorded if there is an excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value.

When testing property, plant and equipment for potential impairment, VF uses the income-based discounted cash flow method using the estimated cash flows of the respective asset or asset group. The estimated pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group through the end of its useful life are compared to its carrying value. If the pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group exceed its carrying value, there is no impairment charge. If the pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group are less than its carrying value, the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group is calculated based on the after-tax discounted cash flows using an appropriate weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), and an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and its carrying value.

When testing customer relationship intangible assets for potential impairment, management considers historical customer attrition rates and projected revenues and profitability related to customers that existed at acquisition. Management uses the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific application of the discounted cash flow method, to value customer relationship assets. The estimated pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset through the end of its useful life are compared to its carrying value. If the pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset exceed its carrying value, there is no impairment charge. If the pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying value, the estimated fair value of the asset is calculated based on the present value of the after-tax cash flows expected to be generated by the customer relationship asset after deducting contributory asset charges, and an impairment charge is recognized for the

difference between the estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value.

When testing operating lease right-of-use assets for potential impairment, VF uses the income-based discounted cash flow method using the estimated cash flows of the respective asset or asset group. The estimated pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group through the end of its useful life are compared to its carrying value. If the pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset exceed its carrying value, there is no impairment charge. If the pre-tax undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group are less than its carrying value, the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group is calculated considering what a market participant would pay to lease the asset for its highest and best use, and an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and its carrying value. The impairment loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets.

***Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill***

Fair value for acquired intangible assets is generally based on the present value of expected cash flows. Indefinite-lived trademark or trade name intangible assets (collectively referred to herein as "trademarks") represent individually acquired trademarks, some of which are registered in multiple countries. Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquired business over the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and is assigned at the reporting unit level.

VF's policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. As part of its annual impairment testing, VF may elect to assess qualitative factors as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. If management's assessment of these qualitative factors indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset or reporting unit is more than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, the intangible asset or reporting unit is quantitatively tested for impairment.

An indefinite-lived intangible asset is quantitatively tested for possible impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair value of an indefinite-lived trademark is based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. Under this method, forecasted revenues for products sold with the trademark are assigned a royalty rate that would be charged to license the trademark (in lieu of ownership), and the estimated fair value is calculated as the present value of those forecasted royalties avoided by owning the trademark. The discount rate is based on the reporting unit's WACC that considers market participant assumptions and is adjusted, as appropriate, to factor in the risk of the intangible asset. The royalty rate is selected based on consideration of (i) royalty rates included in active license agreements, if applicable, (ii) royalty rates received by market participants in the apparel and footwear industry, and (iii) the current performance of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the trademark intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, there is no

impairment charge. If the estimated fair value of the trademark is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference.

Goodwill is quantitatively evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Reporting units are businesses with discrete financial information that is available and reviewed by management.

For goodwill impairment testing, VF estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using both income-based and market-based valuation methods. The income-based approach is based on the reporting unit's forecasted future cash flows that are discounted to present value using the reporting unit's WACC, as discussed above. For the market-based approach, management uses both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue/EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. Management typically assigns more weight to the income-based valuation method. Management also evaluates the fair value estimates of reporting units in the context of VF's total enterprise market value.

Based on the range of estimated fair values developed from the income and market-based methods, VF determines the estimated fair value for the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not impaired and no further review is required. However, if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, VF calculates the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and the estimated fair value, limited to the amount of reporting unit goodwill.

The income-based fair value methodology requires management's assumptions and judgments regarding economic conditions in the markets in which VF operates and conditions in the capital markets, many of which are outside of management's control. At the reporting unit level, fair value estimation requires management's assumptions and judgments regarding the effects of overall economic conditions on the specific reporting unit, along with assessment of the reporting unit's strategies and forecasts of future cash flows. Forecasts of individual reporting unit cash flows involve management's estimates and assumptions regarding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual cash flows, on a debt-free basis, arising from future revenues and profitability, changes in working capital, capital spending and income taxes for a forecast period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A terminal growth rate for years beyond the forecast period. The terminal growth rate is selected based on consideration of growth rates used in the forecast period, historical performance of the reporting unit and economic conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in realizing the forecasted cash flows. A discount rate considers the risk-free rate of return on long-term treasury securities,

the risk premium associated with investing in equity securities of comparable companies, the beta obtained from comparable companies and the cost of debt for investment grade issuers. In addition, the discount rate may consider any company-specific risk (at the reporting unit level) in achieving the prospective financial information.

Under the market-based fair value methodology, judgment is required in evaluating market multiples and recent transactions. Management believes that the assumptions used for its impairment tests are representative of those that would be used by market participants performing similar valuations of VF's reporting units.

***Fiscal 2026 Impairment Testing***

***Interim Impairment Testing***

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, management determined that a recent downward revision in the Napapijri forward-looking financial projections was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Recent leadership changes within the brand have resulted in strategic actions that are projected to deliver short- to medium-term revenue and profit reductions to support long-term growth of the brand. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the September 28, 2025 testing date were $62.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded an impairment charge of $30.7 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026 to write down the Napapijri reporting unit carrying value to its estimated fair value. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

***Annual Impairment Testing***

Management performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026. VF elected to bypass the qualitative analysis for the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the annual impairment testing, management concluded the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

For the remaining reporting units and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets, VF elected to perform a qualitative analysis during the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, to determine whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets in those reporting units were impaired. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, VF concluded it was more likely than not the carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets were less than their fair values, and that further quantitative testing was not necessary.

Refer to Notes 9 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on Fiscal 2026 impairment testing.

***Management's Use of Estimates and Assumptions***

Management made its estimates based on information available as of the date of our assessments, using assumptions we believe market participants would use in performing an independent valuation of the business. Although management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the impairment testing are reasonable and appropriate, it is possible that VF's assumptions and conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets in any reporting unit could change in future periods. There can be no assurance the estimates and assumptions, particularly our long-term financial projections, used in our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future, if, for example, (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic

conditions in Fiscal 2027 or future years vary from current assumptions (including changes in discount rates, royalty rates, foreign currency exchange rates and tariffs), (iii) business conditions or strategies change from current assumptions, including loss of major customers or channels, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower multiples of revenues and EBITDA.

Changes in these estimates and assumptions could result in a future impairment charge of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets and such charges could have a material effect on VF's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

**Income Taxes**

As a global company, VF is subject to income taxes and files income tax returns in over 100 U.S. and foreign jurisdictions each year. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. The Company could be subject to changes in its tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation or changes in interpretation of existing tax laws and regulations or rulings by courts or government authorities leading to exposure to additional tax liabilities. In particular, tax authorities and the courts have increased their focus on income earned in no- or low-tax jurisdictions or income that is not taxed in any jurisdiction. Tax authorities have also become skeptical of special tax rulings provided to companies offering lower taxes than may be applicable in other countries. VF makes an ongoing assessment to identify any significant exposure related to increases in tax rates in the jurisdictions in which VF operates.

The calculation of income tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations, which are subject to legal interpretation and significant management judgment. VF's income tax returns are regularly examined by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, and those audits may result in proposed adjustments. VF has reviewed all issues raised upon examination, as well as any exposure for issues that may be raised in future examinations. VF has evaluated these potential issues under the "more-likely-than-not" standard of the accounting literature. A tax position is recognized if it meets this standard and is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Such

judgments and estimates may change based on audit settlements, court cases and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. Income tax expense could be materially affected to the extent VF prevails in a tax position or when the statute of limitations expires for a tax position for which a liability for unrecognized tax benefits or valuation allowances has been established, or to the extent VF is required to pay amounts greater than the established liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Under the more-likely-than-not standard, VF does not currently anticipate any material impact on earnings from the ultimate resolution of income tax uncertainties. There are no accruals for general or unknown tax expenses.

As of March 2026, VF had $935.3 million of gross deferred income tax assets related to operating loss, credit and capital loss carryforwards, and $771.3 million of valuation allowances against those assets. Realization of deferred tax assets related to operating loss, credit and capital loss carryforwards is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions, the amount and timing of which are uncertain, and on possible changes in tax laws. If management believes that VF will not be able to generate sufficient taxable income or capital gains to offset losses or credits during the carryforward periods, VF records valuation allowances to reduce those deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be ultimately realized. If in a future period management determines that the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized differs from the net recorded amount, VF would record an adjustment to income tax expense in that future period.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of V. F. Corporation

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of V.F. Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2026, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2026, appearing under Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 28, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 28, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Goodwill Impairment Assessment – Vans Reporting Unit*

As described in Notes 1, 9, and 24 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill balance was $587.7 million as of March 28, 2026, and the goodwill associated with the Vans reporting unit was $166.9 million. Management evaluates goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. If management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, the asset must be quantitatively tested for impairment. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. During the annual goodwill impairment testing, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Vans reporting unit goodwill and concluded the goodwill was not impaired. Management estimates the fair value of reporting units using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on projected future (debt-free) cash flows that are discounted to present value. Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Vans reporting unit include revenue and profitability projections throughout the forecast period, tax rates, and a market-based discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Vans reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Vans reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumptions related to revenue projections and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Vans reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate of the Vans reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the income approach; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to revenue projections and the discount rate. Evaluating management's assumption related to revenue projections involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Vans reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the income approach and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

VF CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

**NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

***Description of Business***

VF Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, collectively known as "VF" or the "Company") is a global apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories company headquartered in the United States. VF designs, procures, markets and distributes a variety of branded products, including apparel, footwear, backpacks, luggage, equipment and accessories for consumers of all ages. Products are marketed under VF-owned brand names.

***Basis of Presentation***

The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VF and its controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.

On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell the *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand business ("Dickies"). On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the divestiture.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brand is managed and the chief operating decision maker's ("CODM") key areas of focus. VF began managing its *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland PRO*<sup>®</sup> brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with *The North Face*<sup>®</sup> brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *Kipling*<sup>®</sup>, *Eastpak*<sup>®</sup> and *Jansport*<sup>®</sup> brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an "All Other" category. This group includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>.

Reportable segment results for all prior periods presented within these notes to the consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 21 for additional information on VF's reportable segments.

On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell the *Supreme*<sup>®</sup> brand business ("Supreme"). On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, VF has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.

Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing

operations. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on discontinued operations.

***Fiscal Year***

VF operates and reports using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. VF's current fiscal year ran from March 30, 2025 through March 28, 2026 ("Fiscal 2026"). All references to the periods ended March 2026, March 2025 and March 2024 relate to the 52-week fiscal years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025 ("Fiscal 2025") and March 30, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024"), respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries reported using a March 31 year-end for Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 due to local statutory requirements. The impact to VF's consolidated financial statements is not material.

***Use of Estimates***

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties. While estimates and assumptions made by management are based upon currently available information, actual results could materially differ given the uncertainty of these factors and may require future changes to such estimates and assumptions.

***Changes in Laws and Regulations***

VF recognizes the financial effects of changes in laws or regulations in the period in which the Company obtains a legal right to the related asset or incurs a legal obligation for the related liability. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Power Act ("IEEPA") were deemed invalid. Further, on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ruled that U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") must refund IEEPA tariffs that were collected, with interest. As a result, VF recorded a tariff refund receivable of $149.7 million related to tariffs paid under IEEPA from April 2025 until February 20, 2026. Interest is not included due to the uncertainty of the amount but is not believed to be material. On April 20, 2026, approximately $57 million of IEEPA entries were submitted for refund processing. Submission and processing of the remaining IEEPA tariffs is subject to finalization of the process for the next phase of refunds by CBP. VF will re-evaluate its assessment at each reporting period based on any new information.

The tariff refund receivable is included in the accounts receivable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 2026. Refunds related to inventory that has been sold are recognized as a reduction to cost of goods sold and refunds related to inventory on hand are recognized as a reduction to the carrying amount of inventory. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $93.8 million as a reduction to cost of goods sold. As of March 2026, $55.9 million is recorded as a reduction to inventory and will be recognized as a decrease in cost of goods sold as the inventory turns.

Also, VF recorded a liability of $37.6 million as of March 2026, reflecting the portion of the refund that VF has committed to

reimburse certain vendors and partners, which is included in the accounts payable line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $22.7 million as an increase to cost of goods sold and $14.9 million as an increase to inventory. Amounts that are deferred into inventory will be recognized as an increase in the cost of goods sold as the inventory turns. Reimbursements will not be made to vendors and partners until after collection of the applicable IEEPA refunds.

***Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions***

The financial statements of most foreign subsidiaries are measured using the foreign currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation gains and losses, and transaction gains and losses on long-term advances to foreign subsidiaries, are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Foreign currency transactions are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity. These transactions generally result in receivables or payables that are fixed in the foreign currency. Transaction gains or losses arise when exchange rate fluctuations either increase or decrease the functional currency cash flows from the originally recorded transaction. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were a net gain of $4.1 million, and a net loss of $14.0 million and $15.7 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Business Combinations***

VF accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the closing date of the acquisition. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. VF allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. In subsequent reporting periods, any contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in operating income (loss). During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

Cash and cash equivalents are demand deposits, receivables from third-party credit card processors and highly liquid investments that mature within three months of their purchase dates. Highly liquid investments considered cash equivalents were $211.1 million and $91.8 million at March 2026 and 2025, respectively, consisting of money market funds and short-term time deposits.

***Accounts Receivable***

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, less contractual allowances for trade terms, sales incentive programs and discounts. Royalty receivables are recorded at amounts earned based on the licensees' sales of licensed products, subject in some cases to contractual minimum royalties due from individual licensees. VF maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that will result from the inability of customers and licensees to make required payments. The allowance is determined based on review of specific customer accounts where collection is doubtful, as well as an assessment of the collectability of total receivables, which are grouped based on similar risk characteristics, considering historical trends, adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses for all outstanding accounts receivable and reflects the Company's ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses and future expectations. Receivables are written off against the allowance when it is determined that the amounts will not be recovered.

***Inventories***

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method, includes all costs incurred to purchase the finished goods and is net of discounts or rebates received from vendors. A detailed review of all inventories is performed, at least quarterly, to identify slow moving or excess products, discontinued and to-be-discontinued products, off-quality merchandise and other specific or unique situations. Management performs an evaluation to estimate net realizable value using a systematic and consistent methodology of forecasting future demand, market conditions and selling prices less costs of disposal. If the estimated net realizable value is less than cost, VF provides an allowance to reflect the lower value of that inventory. This methodology recognizes inventory exposures at the time such losses are evident rather than at the time goods are actually sold. Historically, these estimates of future demand and selling prices have not varied significantly from actual results due to VF's timely identification and ability to typically dispose of these distressed inventories at amounts either above or not significantly below cost.

Existence of physical inventory is verified through periodic physical inventory counts and ongoing cycle counts at most locations throughout the year, and an estimate of inventory losses that have likely occurred since the last physical inventory date is recorded. Historically, physical inventory shrinkage has not been material.

***Long-lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets and Goodwill***

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill are initially recorded at cost. VF capitalizes improvements to property, plant and equipment that substantially extend the useful life of the asset, and interest cost incurred during construction of major assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Cost for acquired intangible assets represents the fair value at acquisition date, which is generally based on the present value of expected cash flows. Trademark intangible assets represent

VF CORPORATION

individual acquired trademarks, some of which are registered in multiple countries. Customer relationship intangible assets are based on the value of relationships with wholesale customers in place at the time of acquisition.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquired business over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned at the reporting unit level.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment and up to 40 years for buildings. Amortization expense for leasehold improvements and assets under finance leases is recognized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease terms, and is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation is ceased on assets that meet the held-for-sale criteria and they are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less costs of disposal.

Intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives, consisting of major trademarks and trade names, are not amortized. Other intangible assets determined to have a finite life primarily consist of customer relationships, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from 11 to 24 years using an accelerated method consistent with the timing of benefits expected to be received.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to obtaining finished goods inventories is included in cost of goods sold, and other depreciation and amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.

VF's policy is to review property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If forecasted pre-tax undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset are not expected to recover the asset's carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value.

VF's policy is to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for possible impairment as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying amount. VF may first assess qualitative factors as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. If VF determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an asset or reporting unit is more than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, the assets must be quantitatively tested for impairment.

An indefinite-lived intangible asset is quantitatively evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value.

Goodwill is quantitatively evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including the goodwill assigned to that reporting

unit. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.

***Leases***

VF determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception and determines its classification as an operating or finance lease at lease commencement. The Company leases certain retail locations, office space, distribution facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. All of these leases are operating leases. VF previously had one finance lease for a distribution center that was sold in Fiscal 2026 as part of the Dickies divestiture.

Leases for real estate typically have initial terms ranging from 2 to 15 years, generally with renewal options. Leases for equipment typically have initial terms ranging from 2 to 5 years and vehicle leases typically have initial terms ranging from 1 to 6 years. In determining the lease term used in the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability calculations, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal or termination options that may exist. When deemed reasonably certain, the renewal and termination options are included in the determination of the lease term and calculation of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.

Most leases have fixed rental payments. Many of the real estate leases also require additional variable payments for occupancy-related costs, real estate taxes and insurance, as well as other payments (i.e., contingent rent) owed when sales at individual retail store locations exceed a stated base amount. Variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in profit and loss in the period in which the event or conditions that triggers those payments occur.

Certain leases contain both lease and non-lease components. For leases associated with specific asset classes, including certain real estate, vehicles and IT equipment, VF has elected the practical expedient which permits entities to account for separate lease and non-lease components as a single component. For all other lease contracts, the Company accounts for each lease component separately from the non-lease components of the contract. When applicable, VF will measure the consideration to be paid pursuant to the agreement and allocate this consideration to the lease and non-lease components based on relative standalone prices.

VF estimates the amount it expects to pay to the lessor under a residual value guarantee and includes it in lease payments used to measure the lease liability only for amounts probable of being owed by VF at the commencement date.

VF calculates lease liabilities as the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease right-of-use assets are calculated based on the initial measurement of the respective lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate to determine the present value of lease

payments, which generally does not happen in practice. As the rate implicit in the majority of the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term, currency, country specific risk premium and adjustments for collateralized debt.

Operating lease expense is recorded as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, right-of-use asset amortization and interest on lease liabilities are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. VF previously had one finance lease for a distribution center that was sold in Fiscal 2026 as part of the Dickies divestiture. The Company does not have material subleases.

The Company assesses whether a sale leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale when the transaction occurs. For transactions qualifying as a sale, VF derecognizes the underlying asset and recognizes the entire gain or loss at the time of the sale. The corresponding lease entered into with the buyer-lessor is accounted for as an operating lease. During the year ended March 2025, the Company entered into sale leaseback transactions for certain warehouse and retail store real estate, and related assets. The transactions qualified as sales, and thus the Company recognized gains of $17.4 million in the SG&A expenses line item in VF's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025.

***Defined Benefit Pension Plans***

VF sponsors various defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and in certain international jurisdictions. The Company's U.S. plans, including a noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plan (the "U.S. qualified plan") and an unfunded supplemental defined benefit pension plan (the "U.S. nonqualified plan"), were frozen for all future benefit accruals, effective December 31, 2018. In May 2025, VF executed a resolution to terminate the U.S. qualified plan and in February 2026, the Company completed the termination of the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants and the purchase of group annuity contracts to settle the remaining benefit obligations.

The funded status of defined benefit pension plans is recorded as a net asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the difference between the projected benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets, which is assessed on a plan-by-plan basis. The changes in funded status of defined benefit pension plans, primarily related to actuarial gains and losses arising from differences between actual experience and actuarial assumptions, are recognized in the year in which the changes occur and reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

VF reports the service component of net periodic pension cost within operating income (loss) and the other components of net periodic pension cost, which include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, settlement charges, curtailments and amortization of deferred actuarial losses and prior service credits, in the other income (expense), net line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Derivative Financial Instruments***

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, and classified as current or noncurrent based on the derivatives' maturity dates. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments (i.e., gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships must be formally documented at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows of hedged transactions. VF's hedging practices are described in Note 25, which primarily relate to cash flow hedges. VF does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Hedging cash flows are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the items being hedged.

VF formally documents hedging instruments and hedging relationships at the inception of each contract. Further, at the inception of a contract and on an ongoing basis, as necessary, VF assesses whether the hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting the risk of the hedged transactions. When hedging instruments are determined to not be highly effective, hedge accounting treatment is discontinued, and any future changes in fair value of the instruments are recognized immediately in net income (loss). Unrealized gains or losses related to hedging instruments remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCL") until the hedged forecasted transaction occurs and impacts earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction is deemed probable of not occurring, any unrealized gains or losses in accumulated OCL are immediately recognized in net income (loss).

VF also uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on certain assets and liabilities. These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recognized directly in net income (loss).

The counterparties to the derivative contracts are financial institutions having at least A-rated investment grade credit ratings. To manage its credit risk, VF continually monitors the credit risks of its counterparties, limits its exposure in the aggregate and to any single counterparty, and adjusts its hedging positions as appropriate. The impact of VF's credit risk and the credit risk of its counterparties, as well as the ability of each party to fulfill its obligations under the contracts, is considered in determining the fair value of the derivative contracts. Credit risk has not had a significant effect on the fair value of VF's derivative contracts. VF does not have any credit risk-related contingent features or collateral requirements with its derivative contracts.

***Revenue Recognition***

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied based on the transfer of control of promised goods or services. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration

of when the customer has (i) an obligation to pay for, (ii) physical possession of, (iii) legal title to, (iv) risks and rewards of ownership of, and (v) accepted the goods or services. The timing of revenue recognition within the wholesale channel occurs either on shipment or delivery of goods based on contractual terms with the customer. The timing of revenue recognition in the direct-to-consumer channel generally occurs at the point of sale within VF-operated or concession retail stores and either on shipment or delivery of goods for e-commerce transactions based on contractual terms with the customer. For finished products shipped directly to customers from our suppliers, the Company's promise to the customer is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods, and thus the Company is the principal in the arrangement and revenue is recognized on a gross basis at the transaction price.

The duration of contractual arrangements with our customers in the wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels is typically less than one year. Payment terms with wholesale customers are generally between 30 and 60 days while direct-to-consumer arrangements have shorter terms. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and the customer payment for the good or service will be one year or less.

The amount of revenue recognized in both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels reflects the expected consideration to be received for providing the goods or services to the customer, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration includes sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks and product returns. Estimates of variable consideration are determined at contract inception and reassessed at each reporting date, at a minimum, to reflect any changes in facts and circumstances. The Company utilizes the expected value method in determining its estimates of variable consideration, based on evaluations of specific product and customer circumstances, historical and anticipated trends, and current economic conditions. Allowances for estimates of sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks and returns are recorded as accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain products sold by the Company include an assurance warranty. Product warranty costs are estimated based on historical and anticipated trends, and are recorded as cost of goods sold at the time revenue is recognized.

Revenue from the sale of gift cards is deferred and recorded as a contract liability until the gift card is redeemed by the customer, factoring in breakage as appropriate.

Various VF brands maintain customer loyalty programs where customers earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities, which are redeemable for discounts on future purchases or other rewards. For its customer loyalty programs, the Company estimates the standalone selling price of the loyalty rewards and allocates a portion of the consideration for the sale of products to the loyalty points earned. The deferred amount is recorded as a contract liability, and is recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption is remote.

The Company has elected to treat all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and recognize the costs as SG&A expenses at the time the related revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. Sales taxes and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted directly to governmental authorities are excluded from the transaction price.

The Company has licensing agreements for its symbolic intellectual property, some of which include minimum guaranteed royalties. Royalty income is recognized as earned over the respective license term based on the greater of minimum guarantees or the licensees' sales of licensed products at rates specified in the licensing contracts. Royalty income related to the minimum guarantees is recognized using a measure of progress with variable amounts recognized only when the cumulative earned royalty exceeds the minimum guarantees.

The Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedients to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for (i) variable consideration related to sales-based royalty arrangements, and (ii) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

***Cost of Goods Sold***

Cost of goods sold for purchased finished goods includes the purchase costs and related overhead. Overhead includes all costs related to purchasing finished goods, including costs of planning, purchasing, quality control, depreciation, freight, duties, tariffs, royalties paid to third parties and shrinkage. Cost of goods sold also includes provisions to state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For product lines with a warranty, a provision for estimated future repair or replacement costs, based on historical and anticipated trends, is recorded when these products are sold.

***SG&A Expenses***

SG&A expenses include costs of product development, selling, marketing and advertising, VF-operated retail stores, concession retail stores, warehousing, distribution, shipping and handling, licensing and administration. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $849.3 million, $818.8 million and $820.6 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Advertising costs include cooperative advertising payments made to VF's customers as reimbursement for certain costs of advertising VF's products, which totaled $14.7 million, $13.3 million and $12.7 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Shipping and handling costs for delivery of products to customers totaled $511.9 million, $474.3 million and $524.9 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Stock-based Compensation***

VF accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employee directors based on their respective grant date fair values. Compensation cost for all awards expected to vest is

recognized over the shorter of the requisite service period or the vesting period, including accelerated recognition for retirement-eligible employees. Awards that do not vest are forfeited. Generally, dividend equivalents accrue without compounding and are payable in additional shares of VF common stock upon vesting.

VF uses a lattice option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors. VF's performance-based awards are based on management achieving both performance and market-based financial targets. The grant date fair value of market conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique incorporating option-pricing model inputs.

***Dividends***

Dividends declared on common stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings to the extent retained earnings are available at the close of the period prior to the date of the declared dividend. Dividends declared in excess of retained earnings are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.

***Self-insurance***

VF is self-insured for a significant portion of its employee medical, workers' compensation, vehicle, property and general liability exposures. Liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of amounts expected to be paid based on historical claims experience and actuarial data for forecasted settlements of claims filed and for incurred but not yet reported claims. Accruals for self-insured exposures are included in current and noncurrent liabilities based on the expected periods of payment. Excess liability insurance has been purchased to limit the amount of self-insured risk on claims.

***Income Taxes***

Income taxes are provided on pre-tax income (loss) for financial reporting purposes. Income taxes are based on amounts of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and on expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in different periods than they are recognized in tax returns. As a result of timing of recognition and measurement differences between financial accounting standards and income tax laws, temporary differences arise between amounts of pre-tax financial statement income (loss) and taxable income (loss), and between reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the estimated future tax impact of these temporary differences and net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards, based on tax rates currently enacted for the years in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are used to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts considered more-likely-than-not to be realized. All deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accrued income taxes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include unrecognized income tax benefits, along with related

interest and penalties, appropriately classified as current or noncurrent. VF has evaluated these potential issues under the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature. A tax position is recognized if it meets this standard and is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. The provision for income taxes also includes estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

***Earnings (Loss) Per Share***

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. In periods of a loss from continuing operations, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from diluted loss per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

***Concentration of Risks***

VF markets products to a broad customer base throughout the world. Products are sold at a range of price points through various wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. VF's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 17% of Fiscal 2026 total revenues. Sales to VF's largest customer accounted for approximately 4% of Fiscal 2026 total revenues. Sales are generally made on an unsecured basis under customary terms that may vary by product, channel of distribution or geographic region. VF continuously monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and has established internal policies regarding customer credit limits. The breadth of product offerings, combined with the large number and geographic diversity of its customers, limits VF's concentration of risks.

***Legal and Other Contingencies***

Management periodically assesses liabilities and contingencies in connection with legal proceedings and other claims that may arise from time to time. When it is probable that a loss has been or will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, the estimate of the loss is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Estimates of losses are adjusted when additional information becomes available or circumstances change. A contingent liability is disclosed when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.

***Government Grants***

VF may receive grants from various governmental entities in the U.S. and foreign governments in exchange for compliance with certain conditions relating to VF's activities in a specific jurisdiction. Grants may also include incentives and credits. Grants are primarily structured to encourage investment, job creation, job retention and other related activities. VF recognizes the benefit of government grants on a systematic and rational basis over the period that it incurs the underlying investment or expenses when it is probable that VF will comply with specified conditions attached to the grants and it is probable that the grants will be received. Some of VF's agreements with governmental entities include claw back provisions for the recapture of funding if VF fails to comply with various aspects of

the agreements. These provisions are monitored for ongoing compliance.

For the year ended March 2026, VF recognized $19.8 million as a reduction to SG&A expenses, $9.4 million as a reduction to cost of goods sold and $6.8 million as a reduction to inventory, related to government grants. As of March 2026, VF recorded a grant receivable of $19.3 million, which is included in the accounts receivable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, to reflect incentives earned on qualifying activities during Fiscal 2026. Government grants in Fiscal 2026 related primarily to government entities in the Asia-Pacific region.

For the years ended March 2025 and March 2024, government grants did not have a material impact on VF's consolidated financial statements.

***Reclassifications***

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the Fiscal 2026 presentation.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Standards***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, *"Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures"*, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The rate reconciliation disclosures require specific categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The income taxes paid disclosures require disaggregation by individual jurisdictions that are greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2026. The Company adopted this guidance for its Fiscal 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K and applied it on a prospective basis, refer to Note 20 for additional disclosures.

***Recently Issued Accounting Standards***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "*Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*", which is intended to enhance expense disclosures by requiring additional disaggregation of certain costs and expenses, on an interim and annual basis, within the footnotes to the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for annual disclosures beginning in Fiscal 2028 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on VF's disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, *"Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software"*, which updates the accounting for internal-use software by replacing former stage-based rules with a principles-based framework. Entities will now capitalize costs associated with internal-use software only when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, *"Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements"*, which amends certain aspects of hedge accounting rules to more closely align with the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, *"Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities"*, an update that establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2030, with early adoption permitted, but the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, *"Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements"*, which is intended to clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 270 — *Interim Reporting*. The guidance is effective for interim periods beginning in Fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, *"Codification Improvements"*, which represents changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning in Fiscal 2028, with early adoption permitted, but the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

**NOTE 2 — REVENUES** 

***Contract Balances***

Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that have been transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Once the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under a contract, amounts are invoiced and contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable. The Company's primary contract assets relate to sales-based royalty arrangements, which are discussed in more detail within Note 1.Contract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer and thus represent the Company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The Company's primary contract liabilities relate to gift cards, loyalty programs and sales-based royalty arrangements, which are discussed in more detail within Note 1, and customer order deposits.

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| (In thousands) | **March 2026** | **March 2025** |
| Contract assets <sup>(a)</sup> | $976 | $2448 |
| Contract liabilities <sup>(b)</sup> | 76923 | 78421 |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>Included in the other current assets line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

<sup>(b)</sup>Included in the accrued liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the year ended March 2026, the Company recognized $204.6 million of revenue related to contract liabilities, which included the majority of the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year, and amounts recorded as a contract liability and subsequently recognized as revenue as performance obligations were satisfied during the year, such as order deposits from customers. The change in the contract asset and contract liability balances primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment.

***Performance Obligations***

As of March 2026, the Company expects to recognize $12.9 million of fixed consideration related to the future minimum guarantees in effect under its licensing agreements and expects such amounts to be recognized over time based on the contractual terms through December 2028.

As of March 2026, there were no arrangements with transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations other than contracts for which the Company has applied the practical expedients and the fixed consideration related to future minimum guarantees discussed above.

***Disaggregation of Revenues***

The following tables disaggregate our revenues by channel and geography, which provides a meaningful depiction of how the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues are affected by economic factors.

March 2026

**NOTE 3 — DIVESTITURE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS** 

The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return to shareholders.

**Divestiture**

***Dickies***

On September 15, 2025, VF entered into a definitive agreement with Bluestar Alliance LLC to sell Dickies for $600.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses. On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies and received proceeds of $600.5 million, net of cash sold. VF recorded a final pre-tax gain of $127.2 million in the year ended March 2026, which included a reduction to the gain to reflect final working capital adjustments of $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, which will be paid in Fiscal 2027. The pre-tax gain is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.

The Company determined that the sale of Dickies did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the

Company's operations and financial results, and therefore did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. The results of operations for Dickies through the date of sale are included within the "All Other" category in Note 21, Reportable Segment Information.

Under the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain post-closing accounting, tax, treasury, digital technology, supply chain, legal, customer service and human resource services on a transitional basis for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction, with the option to extend certain services for up to two six-month extension periods.

**Discontinued Operations**

***Supreme***

On July 16, 2024, VF entered into a Purchase Agreement with EssilorLuxottica S.A. to sell Supreme for an aggregate base purchase price of $1.500 billion, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses as more fully set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On October 1, 2024, VF completed the sale of Supreme. VF received proceeds of $1.506 billion, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $126.6 million, which is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025. VF used a portion of the net cash proceeds to prepay $1.0 billion of its delayed draw Term Loan ("DDTL") pursuant to the terms of the DDTL Agreement, as amended, which required repayment within ten business days of VF's receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme, and to repay $450.0 million of commercial paper borrowings upon maturity during the third quarter of Fiscal 2025.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that Supreme met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of Supreme and the related cash flows as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements, through the date of sale. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.

The results of Supreme were previously reported in the Active segment. The results of Supreme recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the

Consolidated Statements of Operations were a loss of $259.0 million (including a final after-tax loss on sale of $126.6 million and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $145.0 million) and income of $49.6 million for the years ended March 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded impairment charges of $94.0 million and $51.0 million to the Supreme reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, respectively.

Under the terms of a transition services agreement, the Company provided certain post-closing accounting, tax, treasury, digital technology, supply chain and human resource services on a transitional basis for periods generally up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction.

Certain corporate overhead costs and segment costs previously allocated to the Supreme brand for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been allocated to continuing operations. In addition, interest expense and the related interest rate swap impact for the DDTL were allocated to discontinued operations due to the requirement within the DDTL Agreement, as amended, that the DDTL be prepaid upon the receipt of the net cash proceeds from the sale of Supreme.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

**NOTE 12 — SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING PROGRAM** 

VF facilitates a voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") program that enables a significant portion of our inventory suppliers to leverage VF's credit rating to receive payment from participating financial institutions prior to the payment date specified in the terms between VF and the supplier. The SCF program is administered through third-party platforms that allow participating suppliers to track payments from VF and elect which receivables, if any, to sell to the financial institutions. The transactions are at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions, and VF is not a party to the agreements and has no economic interest in the supplier's decision to sell a receivable. The terms between VF and the supplier, including the amount due and scheduled payment terms (which are generally within 90 days of the invoice date), are not impacted by a supplier's participation in the SCF program. All amounts due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program are included in the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets and VF payments made under the SCF program are reflected in cash flows from operating activities in VF's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At March 2026 and 2025, the accounts payable line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets included total outstanding obligations of $466.0 million and $481.7 million, respectively, due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program.

The following table presents rollforwards of total outstanding obligations due to suppliers that are eligible to participate in the SCF program:

On August 26, 2025, VF entered into a credit agreement that provides the Company with a $1.5 billion senior secured asset based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), subject to a borrowing base that is composed of eligible credit card receivables, eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory and eligible in-transit inventory. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100.0 million swing-line subfacility. The ABL Credit Facility includes up to a $400.0 million subfacility for borrowings by borrowers formed in Switzerland and Germany, with the German sublimit capped at $75.0 million, subject to a borrowing base composed of eligible wholesale receivables, eligible inventory, and eligible in-transit inventory for the Swiss borrowings and composed of eligible wholesale receivables for the German borrowings.

The Agent, as defined in the credit agreement, has discretion to establish various reserves against the borrowing base, as outlined in the credit agreement, including a requirement for a Debt Maturity Reserve to be established beginning 90-days prior to the maturity of any Material Indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement.

The ABL Credit Facility has a stated maturity date of August 26, 2030 and replaces VF's previous $2.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit, dated November 24, 2021 (as amended, the "Terminated Agreement"). The ABL Credit Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility up to a maximum of $2.0 billion, subject to the terms and conditions of the credit agreement. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be used (i) to refinance the Company's existing indebtedness owed under the Terminated Agreement, (ii) to fund fees and expenses associated with the ABL Credit Facility, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. Multicurrency borrowings are available under the credit agreement, including borrowings in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, sterling, and Swiss francs (subject to certain limitations as set forth in the credit agreement). Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum based on the currency borrowed and borrowing type (swing loan, base rate loan or benchmark/term rate loan), plus the applicable margin (ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% based on borrowing type and average Global Excess Availability, as set forth in the credit agreement). The applicable margin is subject to a one-time permanent 0.25% reduction if VF achieves a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of less than 4.00 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending after the closing date. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The commitment fee is between 0.25% and 0.375% depending on the usage of the ABL Credit Facility relative to the maximum principal amount. VF

is also required to pay letter of credit fees, as detailed in the credit agreement.

The ABL Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include, among other things, required financial reporting, limitations on indebtedness and granting certain liens, restrictions on fundamental changes to the business, restrictions on disposal of assets, restrictions on changes to the nature of the business, restrictions on prepayment of certain indebtedness, restricted payment limitations, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those typical for credit facilities of this type. Certain actions restricted by the negative covenants are permitted so long as Payment Conditions, as defined in the credit agreement, are satisfied.

The ABL Credit Facility includes a financial covenant that requires VF to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the 12-month period ending on the last day of any applicable fiscal quarter. However, the financial covenant only applies if at any time Global Excess Availability (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap (as defined in the credit agreement), and (ii) $100.0 million, and ceases to apply when Global Excess Availability has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) 10.0% of the Global Line Cap, and (ii) $100.0 million for 30 consecutive days. As of March 2026, specified availability under the ABL Credit Facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, the financial covenant was not applicable.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants as of March 2026.

As of March 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. Reserves for outstanding, unfunded letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility were $0.3 million as of March 2026. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $977.2 million as of March 2026, after giving effect to the borrowing base, outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit.

VF had a global commercial paper program that allowed for borrowings of up to $2.25 billion to the extent that it had borrowing capacity under the Terminated Agreement. The U.S. commercial paper borrowing program was terminated as of May 2025 and the euro commercial paper borrowing program was terminated as of January 2025.

VF has $72.5 million of international lines of credit with various banks, which are uncommitted and may be terminated at any time by either VF or the banks. Total outstanding balances under these arrangements were $10.1 million and $11.9 million at March 2026 and 2025, respectively. Borrowings under these arrangements had a weighted average interest rate of 46.3% and 43.8% at March 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to borrowings in certain highly inflationary economies.

***Senior Notes***

*Redemption*

In February 2026, VF completed an early redemption of €500.0 million ($582.2 million) in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2026 Notes. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

In March 2025, VF completed an early redemption of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2.400% Senior Notes due in April 2025. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

*Other Information*

All notes, along with any amounts outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility (Note 13), rank equally as senior unsecured obligations of VF. All notes contain customary covenants and events of default, including limitations on liens and sale-leaseback transactions and a cross-acceleration event of default. The cross-acceleration provision of the 2033 notes is triggered if more than $50.0 million of other debt is in default and has been accelerated by the lenders. For the other notes, the cross-acceleration trigger is $100.0 million. If VF fails in the performance of any covenant under the indentures that govern the respective notes, the trustee or lenders may declare the principal due and payable immediately. As of March 2026, VF was in compliance with all covenants. None of the long-term debt agreements contain acceleration of maturity clauses based solely on changes in credit ratings. However, if there were a change in control of VF and, as a result of the change in control, the notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase those notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus any accrued interest. The change of control provision applies to all notes, except for the 2033 notes.

VF may redeem its notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued

interest to the redemption date, or (ii) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted to the redemption date at an adjusted treasury rate, as defined, plus 15 basis points for the 2028, 2032 and 2033 notes, 25 basis points for the 2037 notes, 30 basis points for the 2029 notes and 40 basis points for the 2027 and 2030 notes, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. In addition, the 2029, 2030 and 2032 notes can be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date within the three months prior to maturity, the 2027 and 2028 notes can be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date within two months prior to maturity.

The 2027 and 2030 notes have a principal balance of $500.0 million and $750.0 million, respectively, and are recorded net of unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the 2027 and 2030 notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 2.953% and 3.071%, respectively.

The 2028, 2029 and 2032 notes each have a principal balance of €500.0 million and are recorded net of unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the 2028, 2029 and 2032 notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 0.388%, 4.409% and 0.789%, respectively. The Company has designated these notes as a net investment hedge of VF's investment in certain foreign operations. Refer to Note 25 for additional information.

The 2033 and 2037 notes have a principal balance of $277.0 million and $286.9 million, respectively, and are recorded net of unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the 2033 and 2037 notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 6.19% and 6.57% respectively.

Interest payments are due annually on the 2028, 2029 and 2032 notes and semiannually on all other notes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

**NOTE 17 — RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS BENEFIT PLANS** 

VF has various retirement and savings benefit plans covering eligible employees. VF retains the right to curtail or discontinue any of the plans, subject to local regulations.

***U.S. Qualified Pension Plan Termination***

In May 2025, VF executed a resolution to terminate the U.S. qualified plan, which was previously frozen and no longer accruing benefits. In February 2026, the Company completed the termination of the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants and the purchase of group annuity contracts to settle the remaining benefit obligations.

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF offered participants the option to elect lump-sum payouts in exchange for future benefit obligations. VF recorded a $34.0 million non-cash settlement charge in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to recognize the related deferred actuarial losses in accumulated OCL resulting from lump-sum payments of retirement benefits. Actuarial assumptions used in the interim valuation were reviewed and revised as appropriate.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF purchased a group annuity contract to transfer the remaining benefit obligation to an insurance company. The purchase of the group annuity contract was fully funded directly by plan assets. As a result, VF recorded a $158.1 million non-cash settlement charge in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to recognize the remaining deferred actuarial losses in OCL.

In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF transferred approximately $83.5 million of funds from plan assets to a

qualified replacement plan managed by the Company which will be used to fund future incremental annual Company contributions to VF's U.S. 401(k) program. As of March 2026, $11.9 million was recorded in other current assets (Note 6) and $71.6 million was recorded in other assets (Note 11). The remaining plan assets reverted to the Company as part of the final termination process. As a result, approximately $125.4 million reverted to the Company resulting in $25.1 million of excise tax being paid and recorded in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.

***Defined Benefit Pension Plans***

Defined benefit plans provide pension benefits based on participant compensation and years of service. VF sponsors an unfunded supplemental defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits in excess of limitations imposed by income tax regulations (the "U.S. nonqualified plan") and various non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2018, the U.S. nonqualified plan was frozen for all future benefit accruals.

VF was in a net underfunded status at the end of Fiscal 2026 primarily due to the unfunded U.S. nonqualified plan and differences in actuarial assumptions and plan classification relative to local statutory accounting standards, which generally result in higher reported benefit obligations under U.S. GAAP. A March 31 measurement date is used to value plan assets and obligations for all pension plans.

The amounts reported in these disclosures have not been segregated between continuing and discontinued operations.

The components of pension cost for VF's defined benefit plans were as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

In addition to the settlement charges totaling $192.1 million related to the termination of the U.S. qualified plan in the year ended March 2026, as discussed above, VF also recorded $1.1 million and $3.5 million of settlement charges in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended March 2026 and 2024, respectively. These settlement charges related to the recognition of deferred actuarial losses resulting from lump-

sum payments of retirement benefits in the U.S. nonqualified plan.

VF recorded $1.5 million and $0.9 million in curtailment gains in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended March 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily related to employee exits from an international plan resulting from restructuring.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

Pension benefits are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a net asset or liability based on the overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit plans, assessed on a plan-by-plan basis.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discount rate | 3.27% | 5.05% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Rate of compensation increase <sup>(a)</sup> | 1.90% | 1.98% |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>Rate of compensation increase is calculated as the weighted average rate of compensation increase for active plans. Frozen plans are excluded from the calculation.

The actuarial model utilizes discount rates, which are used to estimate the present value of future cash outflows necessary to meet the projected benefit obligations for VF's defined benefit plans. The discount rates reflect the estimated interest rate that VF could use to settle its projected benefit obligations at the valuation date. The discount rate assumption is based on current market interest rates. VF selects a discount rate for each defined benefit pension plan by matching high quality corporate bond yields to the timing of the projected benefit payments to participants in each plan. VF uses the spot rate approach to measure the projected benefit obligations and service and interest costs. Under the spot rate approach, the full yield curve is applied separately to cash flows for each projected benefit obligation, service cost, and interest cost for a more precise calculation.

Accumulated benefit obligations at any measurement date are the present value of vested and unvested pension benefits

earned, without considering projected future compensation increases. Projected benefit obligations are the present value of vested and unvested pension benefits earned, considering projected future compensation increases.

Deferred actuarial gains and losses are changes in the amount of either the benefit obligation or the value of plan assets resulting from differences between expected amounts for a year using actuarial assumptions and the actual results for that year. These amounts are deferred as a component of accumulated OCL and amortized to pension cost in future years.

Deferred prior service credits related to plan amendments are also recorded in accumulated OCL and amortized to pension cost on a straight-line basis over the average remaining years of service for active employees.

The following provides information for VF's defined benefit plans with projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| (In thousands) | **March 2026** | **March 2025** |
| Projected benefit obligations | $194044 | $190404 |
| Accumulated benefit obligations | 175647 | 171771 |
| Fair value of plan assets | 114774 | 105817 |

---

The net amount of projected benefit obligations and plan assets for underfunded defined benefit plans was $79.3 million and $84.6 million as of March 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was reported in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management's investment objectives are to invest plan assets in a diversified portfolio of securities to provide long-term growth, minimize the volatility of the value of plan assets relative to plan liabilities, and to ensure plan assets are sufficient to pay the benefit obligations. Investment strategies focus on diversification among multiple asset classes, a balance of long-term investment return at an acceptable level of risk and liquidity to meet benefit payments. The primary objective of the investment strategies is to more closely align plan assets with plan liabilities by utilizing dynamic asset allocation targets dependent upon changes in the plan's funded ratio, capital market expectations and risk tolerance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

Plan assets, across all plans, are primarily composed of common collective trust funds that invest in liquid securities diversified across equity, fixed-income and other asset classes. Fund assets are allocated among independent investment managers who have full discretion to manage their portion of the fund's assets, subject to strategy and risk guidelines established with each manager. The overall strategy, the resulting allocations of plan assets and the performance of funds and individual investment managers are continually monitored. Derivative financial instruments may be used by investment managers for hedging purposes. There are no direct

investments in VF debt or equity securities and no significant concentrations of security risk.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on an evaluation of the weighted average expected returns for the major asset classes in which the plans have invested. Expected returns by asset class were developed through analysis of historical market returns, current market conditions, inflation expectations and equity and credit risks. Inputs from various investment advisors on long-term capital market returns and other variables were also considered where appropriate.

The fair value of investments held by VF's defined benefit plans at March 2026 and March 2025, by asset class, is summarized below. Refer to Note 24 for a description of the three levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Cash equivalents include cash held by individual investment managers of other asset classes for liquidity purposes (Level 1). The fair values of insurance contracts are provided by the insurance companies and are primarily based on accumulated contributions plus returns guaranteed by the insurers (Level 2). Equity and fixed-income securities generally represent institutional funds measured at their daily net asset value derived from quoted prices of the underlying investments. As of both March 2026 and 2025, alternative investments are primarily investments in gold, insurance-linked securities and derivatives.

VF makes contributions to its defined benefit plans sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements under applicable laws, plus discretionary amounts as determined by management. VF intends to make approximately $16.1 million of contributions to its defined benefit plans during Fiscal 2027. The estimated future benefit payments for all of VF's defined benefit plans, are approximately $29.7 million in Fiscal 2027, $16.5 million in Fiscal 2028, $15.8 million in Fiscal 2029, $16.1 million in Fiscal 2030, $16.4 million in Fiscal 2031 and $85.3 million for Fiscal 2032 through 2036.

***Other Retirement and Savings Plans***

VF sponsors a nonqualified retirement savings plan for employees whose contributions to a 401(k) plan would be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation and to receive matching contributions for a portion of the deferred amounts. Participants earn a return on their deferred compensation based on their selection of a hypothetical portfolio of publicly traded mutual funds. Changes in the fair value of the participants' hypothetical investments are recorded as an adjustment to deferred compensation liabilities and compensation expense. Expense under this plan was $0.6

million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Deferred compensation, including accumulated earnings, is distributable in cash at participant-specified dates upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment. VF sponsors a similar nonqualified plan that permits non-employee members of the Board of Directors to defer their Board compensation. VF also has remaining obligations under other deferred compensation plans, primarily related to acquired companies. At March 2026, VF's liability to participants under all deferred compensation plans was $68.9 million, of which $12.2 million was recorded in accrued liabilities (Note 14) and $56.7 million was recorded in other liabilities (Note 16).

VF has purchased (i) publicly traded mutual funds in the same amounts as most of the participant-directed hypothetical investments underlying the deferred compensation liabilities, and (ii) variable life insurance contracts that invest in institutional funds that are substantially the same as the participant-directed hypothetical investments. These investment securities and earnings thereon are intended to provide a source of funds to meet the deferred compensation obligations, and serve as an economic hedge of the financial impact of changes in deferred compensation liabilities. They are held in an irrevocable trust but are subject to claims of creditors in the event of VF's insolvency. VF also has assets related to deferred compensation plans of acquired companies, which are primarily invested in life insurance contracts. At March 2026, the value of investments held for all deferred compensation plans was $73.4 million, of which $12.2 million was recorded in other current assets (Note 6) and $61.2 million was recorded in other assets (Note 11). Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these deferred compensation assets are recorded in compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and substantially

VF sponsors 401(k) plans as well as other domestic and foreign retirement and savings plans. Expense for these plans totaled

$38.5 million, $40.8 million and $42.2 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 18 — CAPITAL AND ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS** 

***Common Stock***

During the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not purchase shares of Common Stock in open market transactions under its share repurchase program authorized by VF's Board of Directors. These are treated as treasury stock transactions when shares are repurchased.

Common Stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury which are, in substance, retired. There were no shares held in treasury at the end of March 2026, 2025 or 2024. The excess of the cost of treasury shares acquired over the $0.25 per share stated value of Common Stock is deducted from retained earnings (accumulated deficit).

***Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss***

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and specified components of other comprehensive income (loss), which relate to changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net income (loss) under GAAP but are instead deferred and accumulated within a separate component of stockholders' equity in the balance sheet. VF's comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The deferred components of other comprehensive income (loss) are reported, net of related income taxes, in accumulated OCL in stockholders' equity, as follows:

**NOTE 19 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION** 

Pursuant to the amended and restated 1996 Stock Compensation Plan approved by stockholders, VF is authorized to grant nonqualified stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock units and restricted stock to officers, key employees and non-employee members of VF's Board of Directors. Substantially all stock-based compensation awards are classified as equity awards, which are accounted for in stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On a limited basis, cash-settled stock appreciation rights and RSUs are granted to employees in certain international jurisdictions. These awards are accounted for as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the awards are settled. Compensation cost for all awards expected to vest is recognized over the shorter of the requisite service period or the vesting period, including accelerated recognition for retirement-eligible employees. Awards that do not vest are forfeited.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

Total stock-based compensation cost and the associated income tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, on a continuing operations basis, were as follows:

| Income tax benefits | 17729 | 16299 | 12849 |

---

At the end of March 2026, there was $63.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all stock-based compensation arrangements that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

At the end of March 2026, there were 29,096,405 shares available for future grants of stock options and stock awards under the 1996 Stock Compensation Plan. Shares for option exercises are issued from VF's authorized but unissued Common Stock.

***Stock Options***<br>

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. Employee stock options typically vest and become exercisable in equal annual installments over three years, and compensation cost is recognized ratably over the shorter of the requisite service period or the vesting period. Stock options granted to non-employee members of VF's Board of Directors vest upon grant and become exercisable one year from the date of grant. All options have ten-year terms. There were no options granted during the year ended March 2026.

The grant date fair value of each option award was calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporated a range of assumptions for inputs as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended March** | **Year Ended March** | **Year Ended March** |
| | **2026** <sup>(a)</sup> | **2025** | **2024** |
| Expected volatility | N/A | 37% to 53% | 33% to 54% |
| Weighted average expected volatility | N/A | 47% | 42% |
| Expected term (in years) | N/A | 5.5 to 7.3 | 5.9 to 7.8 |
| Weighted average dividend yield | N/A | 2.2% | 3.7% |
| Risk-free interest rate | N/A | 3.80% to 5.43% | 3.80% to 5.50% |
| Weighted average fair value at date of grant | N/A | $5.31 | $5.74 |

---

<sup>(a)</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not applicable, as no options were granted during the year ended March 2026.

Expected volatility over the contractual term of an option was based on a combination of the implied volatility from publicly traded options on VF Common Stock and the historical volatility of VF Common Stock. The expected term represents the period of time over which vested options are expected to be outstanding before exercise. VF used historical data to estimate option exercise behaviors and to estimate the number of options that would vest. Groups of employees that have historically exhibited similar option exercise behaviors were considered separately in estimating the expected term for each employee group. Dividend yield represents expected dividends on VF Common Stock for the contractual life of the options. Risk-free interest rates for the periods during the contractual life of the option were the implied yields at the date of grant from the U.S. Treasury zero coupon yield curve.

The total fair value of stock options that vested during the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024 was $26.0 million, $22.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, was $1.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

***Restricted Stock Units and Stock Units***<br>

During the year ended March 2026, VF granted 516,605 performance-based RSUs with a market condition to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") that enables him to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a performance cycle that goes through Fiscal 2028. Each performance-based RSU has a potential final payout of either zero or one share of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by the CEO, if any, is based on achievement of an operating income percentage for Fiscal 2028 and a VF stock price target during the performance period. The targets for both were set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares will be issued to the CEO following the conclusion of the performance period, subject to completion of a one-year holding period. The grant date fair value of the award incorporated achievement of the stock price target using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs and was $5.10 per share. The grant date fair value is being recognized over the service period so long as achievement of the operating income percentage target is probable.

During the year ended March 2026, VF granted 1,474,178 RSUs to executives that enable them to receive shares of VF Common Stock over a five-year vesting period. These units vest 25% on the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The number of units paid for the portion of the RSUs that vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date are subject to relative total shareholder return ("TSR") targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and will be paid in full or decreased to zero, based on how VF's TSR over the five-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 600 Consumer Discretionary Sector Index. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $9.09 per share.

During Fiscal 2025 and 2024, VF granted performance-based RSUs that enable employees to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three-year performance cycle. Each performance-based RSU has a potential final payout ranging from zero to two and one-quarter shares of VF Common Stock. The number of shares earned by participants, if any, is based on

the achievement of financial targets and TSR targets set by the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Shares are issued to participants in the year following the conclusion of each three-year performance period.

For performance-based RSUs granted in Fiscal 2025, the financial targets are based on the average, for the three years of the performance cycle, of the annual levels of achievement of VF's total revenue, weighted 50%, and the average, for the three years of the performance cycle, of the annual levels of achievement of VF's gross margin, weighted 50%. Furthermore, the actual number of shares earned may be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF's TSR over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 600 Consumer Discretionary Sector Index, resulting in a maximum payout of 225% of the target award. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $2.05 per share.

For performance-based RSUs granted in Fiscal 2024, the financial targets include 50% weighting based on VF's revenue growth and 50% weighting based on VF's gross margin performance over the three-year period compared to financial targets. Furthermore, the actual number of shares earned may be adjusted upward or downward by 25% of the target award, based on how VF's TSR over the three-year period compares to the TSR for companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Consumer Discretionary Index, resulting in a maximum payout of 225% of the target award. The grant date fair value of the TSR-based adjustment related to the performance-based RSU grants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique that incorporates option-pricing model inputs, and was $0.35 per share.

VF also grants nonperformance-based RSUs to employees as part of its stock compensation program and nonperformance-based stock units to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Each nonperformance-based RSU or stock unit entitles the holder to one share of VF Common Stock. The

The stock units granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors vest upon grant and are settled in shares of VF Common Stock one year from the date of grant, unless a director has elected to defer receipt of VF Common Stock.Dividend equivalents on the RSUs and stock units accrue without compounding and are payable in additional shares of VF Common Stock when the RSUs vest or stock units are settled. Dividend equivalents are subject to the same risk of forfeiture as the RSUs.

RSU and stock unit activity for the year ended March 2026 is summarized as follows:

Income tax expense includes tax benefits of $93.9 million, $16.5 million and $34.7 million in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, from other favorable audit outcomes on certain tax matters and from expiration of statutes of limitations.

VF was granted a ruling which lowered the effective income tax rate on taxable earnings for years 2010 through 2014 under Belgium's excess profit tax regime. During 2015, the European Union Commission ("EU") investigated and announced its decision that these rulings were illegal and ordered the tax benefits to be collected from affected companies, including VF. During 2017 and 2018, VF was assessed and paid €35.0 million in tax and interest, which was recorded as an income tax receivable and was included in the other current assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the expected

success of the requests for annulment. After subsequent annulments and appeals, the General Court confirmed the decision of the EU on September 20, 2023. As a result, VF wrote off the related income tax receivable and recorded a benefit for the associated foreign tax credit, resulting in $26.1 million of net income tax expense in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024.

In addition, VF was granted a lower effective income tax rate on taxable earnings in one foreign jurisdiction that expired at the end of March 2025. This lower rate, when compared with the jurisdiction's statutory rate, resulted in income tax reductions of $48.5 million ($0.12 per diluted share) in the year ended March 2025 and $44.2 million ($0.11 per diluted share) in the year ended March 2024.

At the end of Fiscal 2026, the Company is not asserting indefinite reinvestment with regards to short-term liquid assets of its foreign subsidiaries. All other foreign earnings, including basis differences of certain foreign subsidiaries, continue to be considered indefinitely reinvested. The Company has not determined the deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings and basis differences, as such determination is not practicable.

VF has potential tax benefits totaling $567.6 million for foreign operating loss carryforwards, of which $85.1 million have an unlimited carryforward life. There are $216.0 million of potential tax benefits for capital loss carryforwards that begin to expire in 2027 and $64.8 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards that begin to expire in 2030 and $12.6 million of general business credit carryforwards that begin to expire in 2044. Additionally, there are $74.3 million of potential tax benefits for state operating loss and credit carryforwards that expire between 2027 and 2056.A valuation allowance has been provided where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to those operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. Valuation allowances totaled $489.9 million for available foreign operating loss carryforwards, $188.6 million for available capital loss carryforwards, $64.8 million for foreign tax credit carryforwards, and $27.8 million for available state operating loss and credit carryforwards. During Fiscal 2026, VF had a net decrease in valuation allowances of $49.6 million related to capital loss carryforwards, a net increase of $9.7 million related to foreign tax credit carryforwards, a net increase of $5.5 million related to state operating loss and credit carryforwards and an increase of $274.6 million related to foreign operating loss carryforwards and other foreign deferred tax assets, inclusive of foreign currency effects.

---

<sup>(a)</sup>Included in the accrued liabilities and other liabilities line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The unrecognized tax benefits of $268.7 million at the end of Fiscal 2026, if recognized, would reduce the annual effective tax rate.

VF files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and international jurisdictions. In the U.S., the IRS examinations for tax years through 2018 have been effectively settled.

As previously reported, VF petitioned the U.S. Tax Court (the "Tax Court") to resolve an IRS dispute regarding the timing of income inclusion associated with VF's acquisition of The Timberland Company in September 2011. While the IRS argued that all such income should have been immediately included in 2011, VF reported periodic income inclusions in subsequent tax years. In Fiscal 2023, the Tax Court issued its final decision in favor of the IRS, which was appealed by VF. On October 19, 2022, VF paid $875.7 million related to the 2011 taxes and interest being disputed, which was recorded as an income tax receivable and began to accrue interest income. These amounts were included in the other assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on our assessment of the position under the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature. On September 8, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ("Appeals Court") upheld the Tax Court's decision in favor of the IRS. As a result of the Appeals Court decision, VF determined that its position no longer met the more-likely-than-not threshold, and thus wrote off the related income tax receivable and associated interest and recorded $690.0 million of income tax expense in

the second quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount included the reversal of $19.6 million of interest income, of which $7.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. This amount reflects the total estimated net impact to VF's tax expense, which includes the expected reduction in taxes paid on the periodic inclusions that VF has reported, release of related deferred tax liabilities, and consideration of indirect tax effects resulting from the decision. The estimated impact is subject to future adjustments based on finalization with tax authorities.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included various provisions specific to businesses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in Fiscal 2026 and others implemented in subsequent years. The Company has reflected the impact of the enacted provisions in its financial statements for the year ended March 2026, which were determined to be immaterial.

In addition, VF is currently subject to examination by various state and international tax authorities. Management regularly assesses the potential outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current and prior years and has concluded that VF's provision for income taxes is adequate. The outcome of any one examination is not expected to have a material impact on VF's consolidated financial statements. Management believes that some of these audits and negotiations will conclude during the next 12 months.

**NOTE 21 — REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION** 

VF's President and CEO is the Company's CODM. The Company's individual global brands, or in certain cases the combination of global brands, have been determined to be operating segments. The operating segments have been evaluated and aggregated into reportable segments because they meet the similar economic characteristics and qualitative aggregation criteria set forth in the relevant accounting guidance. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, VF realigned its reportable segments to reflect a change in how the *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brand is managed and the CODM's key areas of focus. VF began managing its *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland PRO*<sup>®</sup> brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. This operating segment has been aggregated with *The North Face*<sup>®</sup> brand in the Outdoor reportable segment and the *Vans*<sup>®</sup>, *Kipling*<sup>®</sup>, *Eastpak*<sup>®</sup> and *JanSport*<sup>®</sup> brands have been aggregated in the Active reportable segment. All other brands that have not been aggregated within the

reportable segments described above, which do not meet the quantitative threshold to be disclosed as a separate reportable segment, have been grouped within an "All Other" category. This group includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>. Results for the "All Other" category are included as a reconciling item between the Company's reportable segments and its consolidated results of operations and assets.

Reportable segment results for all prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations.

The results of Dickies have been included in the "All Other" category through the November 12, 2025 date of sale.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 2026

Below is a description of VF's reportable segments and the brands included within each:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **REPORTABLE SEGMENT** | **BRANDS** |
| **Outdoor** - Outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment | *The North Face*<sup>®</sup> |
|  | *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> |
| **Active** - Active apparel, footwear and accessories | *Vans*<sup>®</sup> |
|  | *Kipling*<sup>®</sup> |
|  | *Eastpak*<sup>®</sup> |
|  | *JanSport*<sup>®</sup> |

---

**All Other** - included in the tables below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues, profit and assets, but it is not considered a reportable segment. "All Other" includes the following brands: *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> (through the date of sale), *Altra*<sup>®</sup>, *Smartwool*<sup>®</sup>, *Napapijri*<sup>®</sup> and *Icebreaker*<sup>®</sup>.

The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return to shareholders. In doing so, it evaluates whether changes may need to be made to our internal reporting structure to better support and assess the operations of our business going forward. If changes are made, we will assess the resulting effect, if any, on our reportable segments, operating segments and reporting units.

The primary financial measures used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources to VF's segments are segment revenues and segment profit. Segment profit comprises the operating income and other income (expense), net line items of each segment. Segment revenues and segment profit are regularly reviewed by the CODM and compared against historical results, forecast and budget information in order to make decisions about how to allocate capital and other resources to each segment.

Accounting policies used for internal management reporting at the individual segments are consistent with those in Note 1. Corporate costs (other than common costs allocated to the segments), goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges and net interest expense are not controlled by segment management and therefore are excluded from the measurement of segment profit. Common costs such as information systems processing, retirement benefits and insurance are allocated from corporate costs to the segments

based on appropriate metrics such as usage or employment. Corporate costs that are not allocated to the segments consist of corporate headquarters expenses (including compensation and benefits of corporate management and staff, certain legal and professional fees and administrative and general costs), costs of corporate programs or corporate-managed decisions, and other expenses which include a portion of defined benefit pension costs, development costs for management information systems, costs of registering, maintaining and enforcing certain of VF's trademarks and miscellaneous consolidated costs. Defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. are centrally managed. The current year service cost component of pension cost is allocated to the segments, while the remaining pension cost components are reported in corporate and other expenses.

Segment assets are those used directly in or resulting from the operations of each business, which are accounts receivable and inventories. Segment assets included in the "All Other" category represent accounts receivable and inventory balances related to the brands included within the "All Other" category as noted above and segment assets included in the "Corporate and other" category represent receivable balances primarily related to corporate activities, and both are provided for purposes of reconciliation as they are not considered reportable segments. Total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets are not disclosed as this information is not regularly provided to the CODM at the segment level.

**NOTE 22 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES** 

***Commitments***

VF is obligated under noncancelable operating leases. Refer to Note 10 for additional information related to future lease payments.

In the ordinary course of business, VF has entered into purchase commitments for finished products and raw materials. Total payments required under these agreements, which primarily relate to finished products, are $1.9 billion, $7.5 million, $5.0 million and $1.8 million for Fiscal 2027 through 2030, respectively, and no commitments thereafter.

VF has entered into commitments for (i) capital spending, (ii) service and maintenance agreements related to its management information systems, and (iii) other obligations. Future payments under these agreements are $112.3 million, $67.6 million, $31.7 million, $27.0 million and $0.1 million for Fiscal 2027 through 2031, respectively, and no commitments thereafter.

Surety bonds, customs bonds, unfunded letters of credit and international bank guarantees, all of which represent contingent guarantees of performance under self-insurance and other programs, totaled $125.7 million as of March 2026. These commitments would only be drawn upon if VF were to fail to meet its claims or other obligations.

***Contingencies***

On September 12, 2025 and November 6, 2025, putative securities class action complaints naming VF and certain of its current and former directors and officers were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (the "Court"). The Court consolidated the cases into one action (the "Consolidated Action"). An amended complaint in the Consolidated Action was filed on February 23, 2026, also naming as defendants VF and certain of its current and former directors and officers. The amended complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, purportedly on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired VF securities between September 28, 2022 and May 20, 2025, inclusive. It contends that certain statements made by VF and certain of its officers and directors were allegedly false or misleading and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the putative class. VF filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 24, 2026. VF believes the allegations in the Consolidated Action are entirely without merit and VF will be vigorously defending against them. At this time, the outcome of this matter remains uncertain.

---

Outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities of 11.7 million and 11.8 million shares were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 2026 and 2025, respectively, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to those years. In addition, 2.1 million and 1.9 million shares of performance-based RSUs and RSUs with a TSR component were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 2026 and 2025, respectively, because these units were not considered to be contingent outstanding shares in those years.

In the year ended March 2024, the dilutive impacts of all outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities were excluded from dilutive shares as a result of the Company's loss from continuing operations for the period and, as such, their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, a total of 19.0 million potentially dilutive shares related to stock options and other dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended March 2024.

**NOTE 24 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS** 

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable

data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be VF's own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

VF's cash equivalents include money market funds and time deposits with maturities within three months of their purchase dates, that approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, which consist of foreign exchange forward contracts, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies, and considers the credit risk of the Company and its counterparties. VF's deferred compensation assets primarily represent investments held within plan trusts as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities (Note 17). These investments primarily include mutual funds (Level 1) that

are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. Liabilities related to VF's deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of the participants' selection of hypothetical investments.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, VF entered into a contract with a consulting firm to support Reinvent, VF's transformation program. Fees related to this contract could be up to $146.0 million, which includes $71.0 million of fixed fees and $75.0 million of contingent fees tied to increases in VF's stock price.

employee. Accordingly, VF has utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model (Level 3) to estimate the fair value of the award at its inception, and will adjust such fair value on a quarterly basis over the measurement period, which concludes on June 30, 2027. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the relevant service period, which concluded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2026. Accordingly, future changes in fair value will be recognized immediately in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The valuation includes the effects of market conditions that are based upon VF's stock price performance relative to stock price targets and a minimum payout dependent on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index return and VF's TSR versus that of peer companies over the measurement period. During the year ended March 2026, $20.0 million of contingent fees were paid to the consulting firm. As of March 2026, the total fair value of the remaining contingent fees was $6.5 million, with $2.6 million recognized in the year

ended March 2026. As of March 2025, the total fair value of the remaining contingent fees was $27.8 million, with $23.9 million recognized in the year ended March 2025.

All other significant financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at cost, except life insurance contracts which are recorded at cash surrender value. These other financial assets and financial liabilities include cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At March 2026 and 2025, their carrying values approximated their fair values. Additionally, at March 2026 and 2025, the carrying values of VF's long-term debt, including the current portion, were $3,519.9 million and $3,966.2 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $3,262.5 million and $3,628.8 million at those respective dates. Fair value for long-term debt is a Level 2 estimate based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.

**NONRECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In the event an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value, using market-based assumptions.

The Company recorded $6.7 million, $10.4 million and $39.4 million of impairments in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to retail store assets, lease right-of-use assets and other fixed assets. These impairments were recorded in the SG&A expenses line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition, VF has certain equity investments included within the other assets line item in VF's Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended March 2025, the Company recorded $15.6 million of impairments related to these investments. These impairments were recorded in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There were no impairments of equity investments in the years ended March 2026 or 2024.

The Company recorded $30.7 million, $89.2 million and $507.6 million of impairments in the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. Refer to additional discussion of management's goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing below.

***Napapijri Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2026, management determined that a recent downward revision in the Napapijri forward-looking financial projections was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Napapijri reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Recent leadership changes within the brand have resulted in strategic actions that are projected to deliver short- to medium-term revenue and profit reductions to support long-term growth of the brand. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the September 28, 2025 testing date were $62.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $30.7 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026 to write down the Napapijri reporting unit carrying value to its estimated fair value. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark

intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

The Napapijri reporting unit is included in the "All Other" category.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Napapijri reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Napapijri reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including the current year that considered actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, with revenue growth and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for other VF brands; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment on the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset or additional impairment on the reporting unit goodwill could occur in the future.

***Vans Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

In conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on recent declines in revenue and profits and forward looking financial projections. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Vans reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $166.9 million and $158.5 million, respectively.

The Vans reporting unit is included in the Active reportable segment.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Vans reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Vans reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including the current year that considered recent actual results, with revenue and profitability projections throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for other VF brands; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment on the reporting unit goodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.

***Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Significant Assumptions***

The impairment testing of the Napapijri and Vans indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets during Fiscal 2026 used significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair values. The discount rates used in the testing ranged from 12.5% to 16.0%, with a weighted average of 15.6% based on relative fair value. The royalty rates used in the testing ranged from 2.0% to 4.0%, with a weighted average of 2.2% based on relative fair value. The long-term revenue growth rates used in the testing were 2.0%.

***Other Reporting Units and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Qualitative Impairment Analysis***

For the remaining reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, VF elected to perform a qualitative assessment during the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2026, to determine whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets in those reporting units were impaired. The carrying values of the reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets subject to qualitative assessment at the testing date were $424.9 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. In this qualitative assessment, VF considered relevant events and circumstances for each reporting unit, including (i) current year results and performance versus management's plans, (ii) financial outlook based on the latest internal financial plan, (iii) changes in the reporting unit carrying value since prior year and the amounts relative to the size of the respective business, (iv) industry and market conditions in which the reporting unit operates, (v) macroeconomic conditions, including discount rate and foreign exchange rate changes, and (vi) changes in products or services offered by the reporting unit. If applicable, performance in recent years was compared to forecasts included in prior valuations. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, VF concluded it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets were less than their fair values, and that further quantitative testing was not necessary.

***Dickies Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, management determined that the continued downturn in the Dickies financial results and projections, combined with expectations of a slower recovery than previously anticipated, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The carrying value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the November 23, 2024 testing date was $290.0 million. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded an impairment charge of $51.0 million to write down the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset to its estimated fair value.

The *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand was previously included in the "All Other" category.

Management's revenue forecasts used in the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuation considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuation were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue projections, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, continued weakness in certain key accounts and markets, slower recovery from the recent downturn, a return to moderate revenue growth by the end of the projection period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and a terminal growth rate based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the related intellectual property is domiciled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A reduced royalty rate based on market data and current performance of the brand as well as active license agreements for the *Dickies*<sup>®</sup> brand and similar VF brands; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rate.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes an extended recovery period from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and a return to moderate revenue growth by the end of the projection period.

On November 12, 2025, VF completed the sale of Dickies. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the divestiture.

***Icebreaker Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

In conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Icebreaker reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The

decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on results from management's prior testing, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2025 forecast and forward-looking financial projections. The carrying values of the Icebreaker reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $38.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively. As a result of the annual impairment testing, VF concluded that the Icebreaker reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired and thus recorded an impairment charge of $38.2 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2025. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

The Icebreaker reporting unit is included in the "All Other" category.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Icebreaker reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Icebreaker reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, slower recovery from the recent downturn, with moderate revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

reporting unit goodwill. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on results from management's prior testing, combined with recent actual financial results lower than previous internal forecasts and a downward revision to forward-looking financial projections. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill was not impaired. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 18%. The carrying value of the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill at the testing date was $51.5 million.

The Timberland PRO reporting unit is included in the Outdoor reportable segment. VF began managing its *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland PRO*<sup>®</sup> brands as one operating segment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Timberland PRO reporting unit valuation considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuation were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Timberland PRO reporting unit include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including the current year that considered actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, with consistent revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business and is in-line with historical financial results, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rate assumption consistent with that used in prior Timberland reporting unit analyses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rate.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes a return to consistent revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period in line with historical results. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the reporting unit goodwill could occur in the future.

Management performed a sensitivity analysis on the impairment model used to test the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill. In doing so, management determined that a 20% reduction in the annual growth assumption for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") used in the projections, combined with a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model resulted in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value, which would result in goodwill impairment.

***Smartwool Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

In conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the

fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on the current year decline in revenue and a downward revision to the profit margins included in the forward-looking financial projections. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $53.5 million and $75.4 million, respectively.

The Smartwool reporting unit is included in the "All Other" category.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Smartwool reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

***Timberland Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the recent downturn in the Timberland financial results, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2024 forecast and forward-looking financial projections, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Timberland reporting unit goodwill, which includes the *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> brand, and the Timberland indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset, which includes both the *Timberland*<sup>®</sup> and *Timberland PRO*<sup>®</sup> brands. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $407.9 million and $999.5 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, VF recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $195.3 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 to write down the Timberland reporting unit carrying value to its estimated fair value. No impairment charge was recorded on the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the continued downturn in Timberland financial results and weakness in the wholesale channel, combined with expectations of a slower recovery, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Timberland reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $211.7 million and $999.5 million, respectively. As a result of the impairment testing performed, management concluded that the Timberland reporting unit goodwill was fully impaired and thus recorded an additional impairment charge of $211.7 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2024. Based on the analysis, management concluded that the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset was not impaired and the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 14%.

The Timberland reporting unit is included in the Outdoor reportable segment.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Timberland reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Timberland reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, slower recovery from the recent downturn, with moderate revenue growth and profitability improvement throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and terminal

growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for the brand and similar VF brands; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.

Management performed a sensitivity analysis on the impairment model used to test the Timberland indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. In doing so, management determined that a 40% decrease in the annual growth rate assumption for revenues used in the projections, combined with a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the relief-from-royalty model resulted in the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset to be below its carrying value, which would result in impairment.

***Dickies Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the recent downturn in the Dickies historical financial results, combined with a downward revision to the latest Fiscal 2024 forecast, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Dickies reporting unit goodwill and the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. Based on the analysis, management concluded that both the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 8%. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $61.2 million and $290.0 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, management determined that the continued downturn in the Dickies financial results, weakness in certain key U.S. wholesale customer accounts, including lost product placement, and weakness in certain international markets, combined with expectations of a slower recovery, which have resulted in further reductions to the financial projections, was a triggering event that required management to perform a quantitative impairment analysis of both the Dickies reporting unit goodwill and the Dickies indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Timberland PRO reporting unit valuation considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuation were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Timberland PRO reporting unit include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including the current year that considered actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, with recovery expected to begin next fiscal year driven by revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business and is in-line with historical financial results, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rate assumption consistent with that used in the Timberland reporting unit analysis; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the reporting unit goodwill could occur in the future.

Management performed a sensitivity analysis on the impairment model used to test the Timberland PRO reporting unit goodwill.

In doing so, management determined that individual changes of either a 20% reduction in the annual growth assumption for EBITDA used in the projections, or a 200 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model resulted in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value, which would result in goodwill impairment.

***Altra Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

In conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Altra reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on results from management's prior testing, combined with recent actual segment profit margins lower than previous internal forecasts. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Altra reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 15%. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Altra reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $61.7 million and $46.4 million, respectively.

The Altra reporting unit is included in the "All Other" category.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Altra reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Altra reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, with consistent revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for other VF brands; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rates.

Management performed a sensitivity analysis on the impairment model used to test the Altra reporting unit goodwill. In doing so, management determined that individual changes of either a 10% reduction in the annual growth assumption for EBITDA used in the projections, or a 200 basis point increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model resulted in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value, which would result in goodwill impairment.

***Smartwool Reporting Unit and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Analysis***

In conjunction with VF's annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, management performed a quantitative impairment analysis of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset. The decision to bypass the optional qualitative impairment assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment analysis was based on current year declines in revenue and segment profit and reductions to recent financial projections, combined with recent actual segment profit margins lower than previous internal forecasts. Based on the analysis, management concluded the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset were not impaired. For goodwill, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by a significant amount. The estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset also exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount. The carrying values of the Smartwool reporting unit goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset at the testing date were $53.5 million and $75.4 million, respectively.

The Smartwool reporting unit is included in the "All Other" category.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the Smartwool reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset valuations considered recent and historical performance, strategic initiatives, industry trends and

macroeconomic factors. Assumptions used in the valuations were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of the business.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis of the Smartwool reporting unit and indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial projections and future cash flows, including a base year that considered recent actual results lower than previous internal forecasts, continued near-term weakness in the wholesale channel, moderate revenue growth and improved profitability throughout the forecast period that reflects the long-term strategy for the business, and terminal growth rates based on the expected long-term growth rate of the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tax rates based on the statutory rates for the countries in which the brand operates and the related intellectual property is domiciled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty rates based on market data as well as active license agreements for other VF brands; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market-based discount rates.

The valuation model used by management in the impairment testing assumes recovery from the recent downturn in the brand's operating results and the return to revenue growth and improved profitability over the projection period. If the brand is unable to achieve the financial projections, an impairment of the reporting unit goodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible asset could occur in the future.

***Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Significant Assumptions***

The impairment testing of indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets during Fiscal 2024 used significant unobservable inputs to estimate fair values. The discount rates used in the testing ranged from 13.0% to 18.5%, with a weighted average of 14.8% based on relative fair value. The royalty rates used in the testing ranged from 4.0% to 7.0%, with a weighted average of 6.3% based on relative fair value. The long-term revenue growth rates used in the testing were 2.0%.

**Methodology and Management's Use of Estimates and Assumptions**<br>

Our impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets utilizes significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to determine fair value.

The fair value of reporting units for goodwill impairment testing is determined using a combination of two valuation methods: an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on projected future (debt-free) cash flows that are discounted to present value. The appropriate discount rate is based on the reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") that takes market participant assumptions into consideration. For the market approach, management uses both the guideline company and similar transaction methods. The guideline company method analyzes market multiples of revenues and EBITDA for a group of comparable public companies. The market multiples used in the valuation are

based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit compared to the selected guideline companies. Under the similar transactions method, valuation multiples are calculated utilizing actual transaction prices and revenue/EBITDA data from target companies deemed similar to the reporting unit. Management typically assigns more weight to the income-based valuation method.

Management uses the relief-from-royalty method to value indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets. Under this method, revenues expected to be generated by the trademark are multiplied by a selected royalty rate. The royalty rate is selected based on consideration of (i) royalty rates included in active license agreements, if applicable, (ii) royalty rates received by market participants in the apparel or footwear industry, and (iii) the current performance of the reporting unit. The estimated

after-tax royalty revenue stream is then discounted to present value using the reporting unit's WACC adjusted, as appropriate, to factor in the risk of the intangible asset.

Management's revenue and profitability forecasts used in the reporting unit and intangible asset valuations were developed in conjunction with management's forecast and budget review, which includes management's overall assessment of events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions and industry and market considerations, and the resulting outlook for the businesses, considering recent performance, trends and strategic initiatives. Assumptions used in the valuations are similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of these businesses.

***Management's Use of Estimates and Assumptions***

Management made its estimates based on information available as of the date of our assessments, using assumptions we believe market participants would use in performing an independent valuation of the business. Although management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the impairment testing are reasonable and appropriate, it is possible that VF's assumptions and conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of

goodwill or indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets in any reporting unit could change in future periods. There can be no assurance the estimates and assumptions, particularly our long-term financial projections, used in our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future, if, for example, (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in Fiscal 2027 or future years vary from current assumptions (including changes in discount rates, royalty rates, foreign currency exchange rates and tariffs), (iii) business conditions or strategies change from current assumptions, including loss of major customers or channels, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower multiples of revenues and EBITDA.

Changes in these estimates and assumptions could result in a future impairment charge of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets and such charges could have a material effect on VF's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

**NOTE 25 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES** 

***Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments***

All of VF's outstanding derivative financial instruments at March 2026 are foreign currency exchange forward contracts. Although derivatives meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, a limited number of derivative contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The notional amounts of all outstanding foreign currency exchange forward contracts were $3.1 billion at both March 2026 and March 2025, consisting primarily of contracts hedging

exposures to the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso, Swiss franc, Taiwan dollar, Swedish krona, Polish zloty, South Korean won and Japanese yen. These derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.

During the year ended March 2025, VF settled interest rate swap contracts that were in place to hedge the cash flow risk of interest payments on the variable-rate DDTL Agreement. The DDTL was prepaid on October 4, 2024.

The following table presents outstanding derivatives on an individual contract basis:

***Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedge*s** 

VF uses foreign currency exchange contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party and intercompany accounts receivable and payable, as well as third-party and intercompany borrowings and interest payments. These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net transaction losses or gains on the related assets and liabilities. In the case of derivative contracts executed on foreign currency exposures that are no longer probable of occurring, VF de-designates these hedges and the fair value changes of these instruments are also recognized directly in earnings. During the year ended March 2024, certain derivative contracts were de-designated as the related hedged forecasted transactions were no longer deemed probable of occurring. Accordingly, the Company reclassified amounts from accumulated OCL and recognized an $8.8 million loss in cost of goods sold during the year ended March 2024. There were no material reclassifications in the other periods presented. The changes in the fair value of derivative contracts not designated as hedges, recognized as gains or losses in VF's Consolidated Statements of Operations were not material for the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024.

***Other Derivative Information***

At March 2026, accumulated OCL included $53.0 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.

***Net Investment Hedge***

The Company has designated its euro-denominated fixed-rate notes, which represented €1.5 billion in aggregate principal as of March 2026, as a net investment hedge of VF's investment in

certain foreign operations. In the year ended March 2026, VF de-designated the aggregate principal of its €500.0 million euro-denominated fixed-rate notes due 2026, that were redeemed in February 2026, and entered into a fair value hedging relationship as discussed in the "Fair Value Hedge" section below. As a result of the de-designation, VF recognized $7.7 million of expense in the other income (expense), net line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 2026.

Because this debt qualified as a non-derivative hedging instrument, foreign currency transaction gains or losses of the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and other component of accumulated OCL as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the years ended March 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an after-tax loss of $108.6 million, an after-tax loss of $4.6 million and an after-tax gain of $21.6 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss) related to the net investment hedge transaction. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCL will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

***Fair Value Hedge***

The Company has designated a €500.0 million foreign currency exchange forward contract as a fair value hedge of the principal value of euro-denominated fixed-rate notes due 2026, through its redemption in February 2026. Gains and losses related to the spot component of the hedge are recognized in other income (expense), net with offsetting gains and losses on the hedged recognized liability. Gains and losses related to hedge components excluded from the effectiveness assessment (forward points) are amortized under a systematic and rational method to other income (expense) over the life of the hedge. The revaluation of the excluded component is reported in other comprehensive income (loss). As of March 2026, the company recognized a gain of $11.0 million from the foreign currency remeasurement related to the spot component of the derivative and a loss of $3.1 million from the amortization of the excluded component in other income (expense).

**NOTE 27 — RESTRUCTURING** 

The Company incurs restructuring charges related to strategic initiatives and cost optimization of business activities. A description of significant restructuring programs and other restructuring charges is provided below.

***Reinvent***

On October 30, 2023, VF introduced Reinvent, a transformation program to enhance focus on brand-building and to improve operating performance and allow VF to achieve its full potential. All actions related to the program were substantially complete at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2026. Of the total charges, 72% related to severance and employee-related benefits and the remainder primarily related to asset impairments and write-downs. Cash payments are generally expected to be paid within one year of charges incurred. During the year ended March 2026, $67.7 million of cash payments related to the Reinvent charges were made.

Of the total restructuring accrual at March 2026, $28.9 million is expected to be paid within the next 12 months and is classified within accrued liabilities (Note 14). The remaining $2.1 million will be paid out beyond the next 12 months and thus is classified within other liabilities. During the year ended March 2026, VF recorded adjustments to prior Reinvent accruals to reflect actual attrition rates that differed from original estimates.

**NOTE 28 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT** 

On May 13, 2026, VF's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share, payable on June 18, 2026 to shareholders of record on June 10, 2026.

V.F. Corporation ("VF," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") has four classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). VF's common stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VFC". VF's (i) 0.250% Senior Notes due 2028, (ii) 4.250% Senior Notes due 2029 and (iii) 0.625% Senior Notes due 2032 are also registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols "VFC28," "VFC29" and "VFC32," respectively.

***<u>Capital Stock</u>***

The following description of our capital stock is based upon our articles of incorporation, which were restated as of October 21, 2013 (the "Articles of Incorporation"), our amended and restated by-laws, which were amended as of January 24, 2023 (the "By-laws"), and applicable provisions of law. We have summarized certain portions of the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws below. The summary is not complete. The <u>[Articles of Incorporation](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103379/000115752313004785/a50731644ex3i.htm)</u> and <u>[By-laws](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103379/000119312523015237/d421305dex31.htm)</u> are filed as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. Holders should read the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws for the provisions that are important to them.

Certain provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, as amended (the "BCL"), the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a tender offer, change in control or the removal of existing management that a shareholder might consider in its best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for its shares.

**Authorized Capital Stock**

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share.

**Common Stock**

As of March 28, 2026, there were 391,515,399 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which were held of record by 2,307 shareholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share (which is non-cumulative) on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of VF, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43126, Providence, Rhode Island 02940.

**Preferred Stock**

Under the Articles of Incorporation, the board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, in one or more series, with such voting powers, full or limited and the number of votes per share, or without voting powers, and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be established in or pursuant to the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof to be adopted by the board of directors. Prior to the issuance of each series of preferred stock, the board of directors will adopt resolutions creating and designating such series as a series of preferred stock. As of March 28, 2026, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

------

**Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the By-laws and Pennsylvania Law**

***Advance Notice and Proxy Access Provisions***

Notices of shareholder proposals and nominations for election of directors at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders may be made by any shareholder entitled to vote only if written notice is given by the shareholder and received by the Secretary of the Company not more than 150 days and not less than 120 days before the anniversary of the date the Company mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of shareholders.

Our By-laws contain proxy access provisions that permit a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, owning 3% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate and include in the Company's annual meeting proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of two nominees or 25% of the board or directors, subject to certain limitations and provided that the requirements set forth in the By-Laws are satisfied. Proper notice of a proxy access nomination must be received by the Secretary of the Company no earlier than 150 days and no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date the Company mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of shareholders.

***Supermajority Voting Provisions***

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws require a greater percentage shareholders' vote than a majority of the shares cast at a meeting at which a quorum of shareholders is present. For example, removal of directors requires approval by 80% of the votes that all shareholders would be entitled to cast at any election of directors. Our By-laws and Articles of Incorporation may only be amended, altered, repealed or new By-laws or Articles adopted upon approval by at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by shareholders, unless the change was proposed by a majority of the "disinterested directors" (as defined in the By-laws), in which case only a majority approval vote is required, or unless the change was approved by a majority vote of the disinterested directors.

**Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of Pennsylvania Law**

We are subject to Subchapter F of Chapter 25 of the BCL. Subchapter F applies to a transaction between a publicly traded corporation and an interested shareholder (defined generally to be any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the corporation's voting stock). Subchapter F prohibits such a corporation from engaging in a "business combination" (as defined in the BCL) with an interested shareholder unless (i) the board of directors of such corporation gives approval to the proposed transaction or gives approval to the interested shareholder's acquisition of 20% of the shares entitled to vote in an election of directors of such corporation, in either case prior to the date on which the shareholder first becomes an interested shareholder (the "Share Acquisition Date"); (ii) the interested shareholder owns at least 80% of the stock of such corporation entitled to vote in an election of directors of such corporation, and no earlier than three months after such interested shareholder reaches such 80% level, the majority of the remaining shareholders approve the proposed transaction, shareholders receive a minimum "fair price" for their shares (as set forth in the BCL) in the transaction and the other conditions of Subchapter F are met; (iii) holders of all outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation approve the transaction; (iv) no earlier than five years after the Share Acquisition Date, a majority of the holders of the remaining shares entitled to vote in an election of directors approve the transaction; or (v) no earlier than five years after the Share Acquisition Date, a majority of all holders of the shares of the corporation approve the transaction, all shareholders receive a minimum "fair price" for their shares (as set forth in the BCL) and the other conditions of Subchapter F are met.

Under certain circumstances, Subchapter F of the BCL makes it more difficult for an interested shareholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation by imposing additional time delays and higher voting requirements with respect to such transactions. The provisions of Subchapter F should encourage persons interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors, since the five-year delay and higher shareholder voting requirements would not apply if such person, prior to acquiring 20% of our voting shares, obtained the approval of our board for such acquisition or for the proposed business combination transaction.

------

Subchapter F of the BCL will not prevent a hostile takeover of VF. It may, however, make more difficult or discourage a takeover of VF or the acquisition of control of VF by a significant shareholder and thus the removal of incumbent management. Some shareholders may find this disadvantageous in that they may not be afforded the opportunity to participate in takeovers that are not approved as required by Subchapter F but in which shareholders might receive, for at least some of their shares, a substantial premium above the market price at the time of a tender offer or other acquisition transaction.

We are also subject to Section 2538 of Subchapter D of Chapter 25 of the BCL and Subchapter E of Chapter 25 of the BCL. Section 2538 requires the approval of a majority of the disinterested shareholders with respect to certain transactions between an "interested shareholder" (as defined in Section 2538) and a publicly traded corporation unless certain procedural requirements are satisfied. Subchapter E of Chapter 25 of the BCL requires a "controlling person," defined generally as a person who acquires 20% or more of the voting shares of a publicly traded corporation, to offer to purchase the shares of all other shareholders at "fair value" (determined as provided in Subchapter E). Fair value for this purpose is defined as a value not less than the highest price paid per share by the controlling person during the 90-day period ending on and including the date the controlling person acquired 20% or more of the voting shares of the corporation, plus any control premium that is not already reflected in such price.

Subchapter G of Chapter 25 of the BCL also contains certain provisions applicable to a publicly traded corporation pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, "control shares" (as defined in the BCL) lose voting rights until restored by a vote of a majority of disinterested shares and a majority of the outstanding shares. The corporation may redeem the control shares if the acquiring person does not request restoration of voting rights. Subchapter H of Chapter 25 of the BCL requires the disgorgement of profits realized from the disposition of certain stock occurring 18 months after a person or group becomes a "controlling person" or group (as defined in the BCL). Subchapter I of Chapter 25 of the BCL mandates severance compensation for eligible employees whose employment is terminated within a certain period following a restoration of voting rights to control shares under Subchapter G of Chapter 25. We have opted out of the provisions contained in Subchapters G, H and I of Chapter 25 of the BCL.

***<u>Notes</u>***

**General**

The following is a description of the material terms and conditions of our (i) 0.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), (ii) 4.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") and (iii) 0.625% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes and the 2029 Notes, the "Notes"). Each series of Notes has been issued under an Indenture which we entered into with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), on October 15, 2007 (the "Base Indenture"), as supplemented by the fourth supplemental indenture, in the case of the 2028 Notes and the 2032 Notes, which we entered into with the Trustee, as trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent on February 25, 2020 (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture"), and as supplemented by the sixth supplemental indenture, in the case of the 2029 Notes, which we entered into with the Trustee, as trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent on March 7, 2023 (the "Sixth Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the "Supplemental Indentures" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), and are our unsecured obligations. As of March 28, 2026, there were $573.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes outstanding, $572.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes outstanding and $569.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes outstanding. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section have the meanings assigned in the Base Indenture or the applicable Supplemental Indenture.

We have summarized certain portions of the Indenture below. The summary is not complete. The Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indentures are filed as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Holders should read the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indentures for the provisions that are important to them. The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the laws of the State of New York. We have also included references in parentheses to certain sections of the Base Indenture. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of each series of Notes. This summary is subject to and

------

qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the <u>[Base Indenture](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103379/000089322007003303/w40431exv4w1.htm)</u>, the <u>[Fourth Supplemental Indenture](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103379/000119312520047167/d894338dex42.htm)</u>, and the <u>[Sixth Supplemental Indenture](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103379/000119312523062135/d796231dex42.htm)</u>, including definitions of certain terms used in the Indenture.

**Ranking**

The Notes are not secured by any of our property or assets. Accordingly, holders are unsecured creditors of the Company. The Notes are not subordinated to any of the Company's other debt obligations and therefore rank equally with all of the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Notes effectively rank junior to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries, none of which guarantee the Notes. Indebtedness of our subsidiaries and obligations and liabilities of our subsidiaries are structurally senior to the Notes since, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or other winding up, the assets of our subsidiaries will be available to pay the Notes only after the subsidiaries' indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities are paid in full. If that happens, we may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay the amounts due on any or all of the applicable series of Notes then outstanding. The Indenture does not limit our ability or the ability of any of our subsidiaries to issue additional debt.

As of March 28, 2026, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $3.5 billion, and an additional $977.2 million of unutilized capacity under our senior secured asset based revolving credit facility, after giving effect to the borrowing base, outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit of $0.3 million.

The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial amounts of additional indebtedness in certain circumstances. Such indebtedness may be senior indebtedness and, subject to certain limitations, may be secured. See "-Covenants-Restrictions on Mortgages and Other Liens" below. The Notes of each series are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries. This may affect the ability of holders to receive payments on the applicable series of Notes.

**Principal, Maturity and Interest**

The Notes are our general, unsecured obligations. We issued each series of Notes in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. We limited the initial aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes to €500,000,000, the 2029 Notes to €500,000,000 and the 2032 Notes to €500,000,000. However, the Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes of each series that we may issue, and we may issue additional notes of each series in amounts that exceed the initial amount at any time having identical terms and conditions as the applicable series of Notes, other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the first interest payment date and the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue, without holder consent and without notifying holders; provided, however, that, if such additional notes are not fungible with the applicable series of Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers, ISINs and/or Common Codes from such series of Notes. Under the Indenture, the Notes of each series and any such additional notes we may issue will be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. We also may, without the consent of the holders, issue other series of debt securities under the Indenture in the future on terms and conditions different from each series of the Notes.

The 2028 Notes will mature on February 25, 2028, the 2029 Notes will mature on March 7, 2029 and the 2032 Notes will mature on February 25, 2032, unless redeemed in whole or in part as described below under "-Optional Redemption." The Notes of each series are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments.

We may at any time and from time to time acquire each series of Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

------

The 2028 Notes bear interest at the rate of 0.250% per annum from February 25, 2020, payable annually in arrears on February 25 of each year, commencing February 25, 2021, to the persons in whose names the 2028 Notes are registered at the close of business on the business day next preceding the relevant interest payment date, or in the event the 2028 Notes cease to be held in the form of one or more global notes, at the close of business on the February 10 immediately prior to that interest payment date, whether or not a business day. The 2029 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.250% per annum from March 7, 2023, payable annually in arrears on March 7 of each year, commencing March 7, 2024, to the persons in whose names the 2029 Notes are registered at the close of business on the business day next preceding the relevant interest payment date, or in the event the 2029 Notes cease to be held in the form of one or more global notes, at the close of business on the February 20 immediately prior to that interest payment date, whether or not a business day. The 2032 Notes bear interest at the rate of 0.625% per annum from February 25, 2020, payable annually in arrears on February 25 of each year, commencing February 25, 2021, to the persons in whose names the 2032 Notes are registered at the close of business on the business day next preceding the relevant interest payment date, or in the event the 2032 Notes cease to be held in the form of one or more global notes, at the close of business on the February 10 immediately prior to that interest payment date, whether or not a business day. Interest on each series of Notes is computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the applicable series of Notes, to but excluding the next scheduled interest payment date. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

We pay the principal of and interest on each Note of each series to the registered holder in euros in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this summary, so long as the Notes of each series are in book-entry form, we will make payments of principal and interest through the paying agent.

**Issuance in Euro; Payments on the Notes**

Initial holders were required to pay for the applicable series of Notes in euro, and all payments of principal of, the redemption price (if any), the repurchase price upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined below, if any), and interest and additional amounts (as defined below, if any), on the applicable series of Notes, will be payable in euros, provided, that if on or after the original issue date of the applicable series of Notes, the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the applicable series of Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro with respect to the applicable series of Notes will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by us in our sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the applicable series of Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under the applicable series of Notes or the Indenture. Neither the trustee nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing. Any references in this summary to payments being made in euros notwithstanding, payments shall be made in U.S. dollars to the extent set forth under this heading "-Issuance in Euro; Payments on the Notes."

The March 28, 2026 closing euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate was €1.00 = U.S. $1.1513, as published by Bloomberg L.P. Holders are subject to foreign exchange risks as to payments of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them.

**Listing**

The Notes are listed on The New York Stock Exchange. We have no obligation to maintain such listing, and we may delist any series of Notes at any time.

------

**Paying Agent and Registrar**

The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, acts as paying agent for the Notes. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. acts as registrar for the Notes. Upon notice to the Trustee, we may change any paying agent or registrar.

**Business Day**

The term "business day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York or London are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and (2) for any payments to be made under the Indenture, such day shall also be a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer payment system is open for the settlement of payments.

**Optional Redemption**

We may redeem any series of Notes in whole or in part at any time. If the 2028 Notes are redeemed before December 25, 2027, if the 2029 Notes are redeemed before December 7, 2028 or if the 2032 Notes are redeemed before November 25, 2031 (in each case, the date three months prior to the maturity date of the applicable series of Notes (the "Make Whole Call Date")), the redemption price will equal the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% of the principal amount being redeemed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sum calculated by the Company of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed if such series of Notes matured on the applicable Make Whole Call Date (excluding any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on an annual basis (assuming ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below), plus 15 basis points (with respect to the 2028 Notes), 20 basis points (with respect to the 2032 Notes) or 30 basis points (with respect to the 2029 Notes), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

If the applicable series of Notes are redeemed on or after the applicable Make Whole Call Date, the redemption price for the Notes of such series will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding to be redeemed. The redemption price for the Notes of such series will include accrued interest on the Notes of such series being redeemed, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Installments of interest on the applicable series of Notes being redeemed that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on the interest payment date to the holders as of the close of business on the relevant regular record date according to the applicable Notes and the Indenture.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed.

Unless we default in payment of the redemption price on or after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the applicable series of Notes called for redemption on the date of such redemption.

If less than all of the applicable series of Notes are to be redeemed, the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the trustee pro rata or by lot, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.

The Notes of each series are also subject to redemption prior to maturity if certain events occur involving U.S. taxation. If any of these special tax events do occur, the applicable series of Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. See "-Redemption for Taxation Reasons."

------

***Definitions***

"*Comparable Government Bond*" means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by us, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the applicable series of Notes (assuming, for this purpose, that such series of Notes matures on the Make Whole Call Date), or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by us, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

"*Comparable Government Bond Rate*" means the yield-to-maturity, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by us.

**Payment of Additional Amounts**

With respect to each series of Notes, we will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts on the applicable series of Notes as are necessary in order that the net payment by us of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of Notes to a beneficial owner who is not a United States person (as defined below), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the applicable series of Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of the holder of a Note (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Notes, the receipt of any payment thereon or the enforcement of any rights under the Indenture or the Notes), including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States, being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for United States income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)being or having been a "10-percent shareholder" of the Company as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof (the "Code"), or any successor provision; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the applicable series of Notes, or a portion of such Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of additional amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of the applicable series of Notes to comply, to the extent it is legally able to do so, with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the applicable series of Notes, if compliance is requested with proper notice and required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by us or a paying agent from the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note of the applicable series of Notes, if such payment can be made without such withholding by presenting such Note (where presentation is required) to at least one other paying agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any Note of the applicable series of Notes, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8)to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9)in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8).

Each series of Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to such Notes. Except as specifically provided under this heading "-Payment of Additional Amounts," we will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

As used under this heading "-Payment of Additional Amounts" and under the heading "-Redemption for Taxation Reasons", the term "United States" means the United States of America, the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia, and the term "United States person" means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Any references in this summary to principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the applicable series of Notes shall be deemed to include additional amounts, as the context shall require. If we shall be obligated to pay any additional amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the applicable series of Notes, we will deliver to the trustee a certificate of an officer stating that such additional amounts shall be payable and the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable the trustee or other paying agent to pay such additional amounts to the holders of such applicable series of Notes on the payment date. We will make copies of such certificate, as well as copies of tax receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of the associated taxes or other charges, available to the holders or beneficial owners of the applicable series of Notes upon written request.

------

**Redemption for Taxation Reasons**

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after February 18, 2020, in the case of the 2028 Notes and the 2032 Notes, or February 23, 2023, in the case of the 2029 Notes, we become or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by us, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described herein under the heading "-Payment of Additional Amounts" with respect to any series of Notes and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to us, then we may at any time at our option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the such series of Notes on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such series of Notes to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

**Repurchase upon Change of Control Repurchase Event**

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to any series of Notes, unless we have exercised our right to redeem all the applicable series of Notes as described above, we will make an offer to each holder of the applicable series of Notes to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of €1,000) of that holder's Notes of such series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at our option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, we will mail (or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) a notice to each holder, with a copy to the trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream). The notice will, if mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the applicable series of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of such series of Notes, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of such series of Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date with respect to a series of Notes, we will, to the extent lawful:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes of the applicable series (in integral multiples of €1,000) properly tendered pursuant to our offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes of the applicable series properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Notes of the applicable series properly accepted, together with an officers' certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of such Notes being purchased by us.

The trustee will promptly mail (or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) to each holder of the applicable series of Notes properly tendered the

------

repurchase price for such Notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Note of the applicable series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes of the applicable series surrendered; provided, that each new Note of the applicable series will be in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

We will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the applicable series of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us, and such third party purchases all Notes of the applicable series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes of the applicable series upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if such Notes have been or are called for redemption by the Company prior to it being required to deliver notice of the Change of Control Repurchase Event, and thereafter redeems all such Notes called for redemption in accordance with the terms set forth in such redemption notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a revocable offer to repurchase the applicable series of Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, conditioned upon the consummation of the relevant Change of Control Repurchase Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the applicable Change of Control at the time such offer to repurchase is made.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of our and our subsidiaries' properties or assets taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of this phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of an applicable series of Notes to require us to repurchase such holder's Notes as a result of a sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our and our subsidiaries' assets taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

***Definitions***

"*Below Investment Grade Rating Event*" means, with respect to each series of Notes, that the applicable series of Notes are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of such Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance composed of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

"*Change of Control*" means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of VF and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than VF or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as such term is used in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then-outstanding number of shares of VF's Voting Stock; (3) the consummation by VF of a consolidation with, or merger with or into, any person or entity, or the consummation by any person or entity of a consolidation with, or merger with or into, VF, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of VF is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Voting Stock of VF outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or entity immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or (4) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of VF.

**Modification and Waiver**

There are three types of changes that can be made to the Indenture and the Notes of any series:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Changes requiring holder approval*. First, the consent of each affected Note holder is required to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the stated maturity of the principal or interest on a Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce any amounts due on a Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a Note following a default;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the place or currency of payment on a Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impair a holder's right to sue for payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the percentage of holders of Notes whose consent is needed to modify or amend the Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the percentage of holders of Notes whose consent is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• modify any other aspect of the provisions dealing with modification and waiver of the Indenture. *(See Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Changes requiring a majority vote*. The second type of change to the Indenture and the Notes requires a vote in favor by holders of Notes owning a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes affected. Most changes fall into this category. A majority vote would also be required for us to obtain a waiver of all or part of the restrictive covenants described below, or a waiver of a past default. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a

------

payment default or any other aspect of the Indenture or the Notes listed in the first category described above under "-Changes requiring holder approval" unless we obtain individual holder consent to the waiver. *(See Sections 5.13 and 9.02 of the Base Indenture)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Changes not requiring holder approval*. The third type of change does not require any vote by holders of Notes. This type is limited to clarifications and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the Notes. *(See Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture)*

Notes of any series will not be considered outstanding, and therefore will not be eligible to vote on any matter, if we have deposited or set aside in trust for holders thereof money for their payment or redemption. Notes will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described under "-Defeasance-Full Defeasance."

We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding Notes that are entitled to vote or take other action under the Indenture. In certain limited circumstances, the trustee will be entitled to set a record date for action by holders. If we or the trustee set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of a particular series, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding Notes of that series on the record date and must be taken within 180 days following the record date. We may shorten or lengthen (but not beyond 180 days) this period from time to time. *(See Section 1.04 of the Base Indenture)*

**Covenants**

In the Indenture, we agree to restrictions that limit our and our Subsidiaries' (as defined below) ability to create liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

***Restrictions on Mortgages and Other Liens***

We will not, nor will we permit any Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any debt secured by a Mortgage (as defined below) upon any Principal Property (as defined below) or on any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary (as defined below) without providing that the Notes (together with, if we so determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by us or such Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the notes then existing or thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with such debt, except that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of or guaranteed by any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Mortgages on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof, or to secure the payment of all or part of the purchase price of such property, or to secure debt incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price of such property or construction or improvements thereon, which debt is incurred or guaranteed prior to, at the time of, or within 120 days after the later of such acquisition, completion of such improvements or construction, or commencement of full operation of such property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Mortgages securing debt owing by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Mortgages on property of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with us or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a purchase, lease or other acquisition of the property of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety by us or a Restricted Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)Mortgages on our property or that of a Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, or in favor of any other country or political subdivision thereof, to secure certain payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Mortgages (including, but not

------

limited to, Mortgages incurred in connection with pollution control industrial revenue bond or similar financing);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)Mortgages existing on the date of the Indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Mortgage referred to in any of the foregoing clauses.

Notwithstanding the above, we or our Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes, issue, assume or guarantee secured debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, provided that after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions then outstanding (not including secured debt permitted under the foregoing exceptions) does not exceed 15% of the shareholders' equity of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of the previous fiscal year. *(See Section 10.08 of the Base Indenture)*

***Restrictions on Sale and Leaseback Transactions***

Sale and leaseback transactions by us or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) are prohibited unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled under the Indenture to issue, assume or guarantee debt secured by a Mortgage upon such Principal Property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt (as defined below) in respect of such transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes, provided that such Attributable Debt shall thereupon be deemed to be debt subject to the provisions described above under "-Restrictions on Mortgages and Other Liens," or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Company applies, within 90 days of the effective date of such sale and leaseback transaction, an amount in cash equal to such Attributable Debt to the retirement (other than mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity) of non-subordinated debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary which by its terms matures at, or is extendable or renewable at the sole option of the obligor without requiring the consent of the obligee, to a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such debt. *(See Section 10.09 of the Base Indenture)*

The restrictions described above do not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)such transactions involving leases with a term of up to three years,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)leases between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)leases of any Principal Property entered into within 120 days after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction or commencement of full operation of such Principal Property.

***Definitions***

"*Attributable Debt*" means the present value (discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease) of the obligation of a lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of any lease (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended).

"*Mortgage*" means any mortgage, pledge, lien or other encumbrance.

"*Principal Property*" means any manufacturing plant or facility located within the United States (other than its territories and possessions) owned by the Company or any Subsidiary, except any such plant or facility which, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Company, is not of material importance to the business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

"*Restricted Subsidiary*" means a Subsidiary which owns or leases any Principal Property.

------

"*Subsidiary*" means any corporation, partnership or other legal entity of which, in the case of a corporation, more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or by one or more other Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more other Subsidiaries or, in the case of any partnership or other legal entity, more than 50% of the ordinary equity capital interests is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Company or by one or more other Subsidiaries or by the Company and one or more other Subsidiaries.

*(See Section 1.01 of the Base Indenture)*

***Mergers and Similar Events***

We may not consolidate with or merge into any other person (as defined in Section 1.01 of the Base Indenture) or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the successor person is a corporation, partnership or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and expressly assumes our obligations on the Notes and under the Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, would occur and be continuing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)after giving effect to such transaction, neither we nor the successor person, as the case may be, would have outstanding indebtedness secured by any mortgage or other encumbrance prohibited by the provisions of our restrictive covenant relating to liens or, if so, shall have secured the Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) any indebtedness secured thereby. *(See Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture)*

**Defeasance**

***Full Defeasance***

If there is a change in U.S. federal income tax law or an Internal Revenue Service ruling, as described below, we can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the Notes of any series (this is called "full defeasance") if, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we deposit in trust for the benefit of all direct holders of the Notes cash in euros or euro-denominated European Government Obligations (defined below) or a combination thereof that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the Notes as such payments become due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there is a change in U.S. federal income tax law or an Internal Revenue Service ruling that permits us to make the above deposit without causing the beneficial owners of the Notes to be taxed on the Notes any differently than if we did not make the deposit and simply repaid the Notes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming the tax law change described above.

If we accomplish full defeasance, holders would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for all payments on the Notes. Holders could not look to us for payment in the event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we became bankrupt or insolvent. *(See Sections 13.02 and 13.04 of the Base Indenture)*

***Covenant Defeasance***

Under current U.S. federal income tax law, if we make the type of trust deposit described above, we can be released from some of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture. This is called "covenant defeasance." In that

------

event, holders would lose the benefit of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection of having cash in euros or euro-denominated European Government Obligations or a combination thereof set aside in trust to repay the Notes of any series. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deposit in trust for the benefit of all direct holders of the Notes cash in euros or euro-denominated European Government Obligations or a combination thereof that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the Notes as such payments become due; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that under current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing the beneficial owners of the Notes to be taxed on the notes any differently than if we did not make the deposit and simply repaid the notes.

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, the following provisions of the Indenture and the Notes would no longer apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our obligations regarding the conduct of our business described above under "-Covenants," and any other covenants applicable to the Notes described in this summary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the conditions to our engaging in a merger or similar transaction, as described above under "-Covenants-Mergers and Similar Events"; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the events of default relating to breaches of covenants, certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, and acceleration of the maturity of other debt, described below under "-Events of Default."

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, holders can still look to us for repayment of the Notes in the event of a shortfall in the trust deposit. In fact, if one of the remaining events of default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the Notes become immediately due and payable, such a shortfall could arise. Depending on the event causing the default, holders may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall. *(See Sections 13.03 and 13.04 of the Base Indenture)*

"*European Government Obligations*" means any security that is (1) a direct obligation of the Federal Republic of Germany or any country that is a member of the European Monetary Union whose long-term debt is rated "A-1" or higher by Moody's or "A+" or higher by S&P or the equivalent rating category of another internationally recognized rating agency on the date of the Indenture, for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the Federal Republic of Germany or such country, respectively, is pledged or (2) an obligation of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the Federal Republic of Germany or any such country the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the Federal Republic of Germany or such country, respectively, which, in either case under the preceding clause (1) or (2), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.

**Events of Default**

Holders will have special rights if an event of default occurs and is not cured, as described later in this subsection. The term "event of default" means any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we do not pay interest on a Note within 30 days of its due date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we do not pay the principal or any premium on a Note on its due date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we remain in breach of a restrictive covenant or any other term of the Indenture for 60 days after we receive a notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by the trustee or holders of 10% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we default under any other indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $100,000,000 or more in the aggregate, our obligation to repay is accelerated, and this repayment obligation remains accelerated for ten days after we receive a notice of default under the Notes as described in the previous bullet point; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we file for bankruptcy or certain other events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur. *(See Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture)*

***Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs***

If an event of default has occurred and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of 25% in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes to be due and immediately payable. This is called a "declaration of acceleration of maturity." If an event of default occurs because of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal amount of all outstanding Notes will be automatically accelerated, without any action by the trustee or any holder. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes. *(See Section 5.02 of the Base Indenture)*

Except in cases of an event of default, where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee is not required to take any action under the Indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability (an "indemnity"). If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. These majority holders may also direct the trustee in performing any other action under the Indenture. *(See Sections 6.03 and 5.12 of the Base Indenture)*

Before a holder bypasses the trustee and brings the holder's own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce the holder's rights or protect the holder's interests relating to the Notes, the following must occur:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the holder must give the trustee written notice that an event of default has occurred and remains uncured;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the outstanding Notes must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default, and must offer reasonable indemnity to the trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the outstanding Notes must not have given the trustee any direction inconsistent with that request; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the trustee must have not taken action for 60 days after the receipt of the above notice and offer of indemnity. *(See Section 5.07 of the Base Indenture)*

A holder is, however, entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of amounts due on the holder's Notes on or after the relevant due date. *(See Section 5.08 of the Base Indenture)*

The trustee, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default (meaning the events specified above without grace periods) with respect to the Notes, will give to the holders of the Notes notice of all uncured defaults known to it, provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Note, or in the deposit of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Notes, the trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of the Notes. *(See Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture)*

We furnish to the trustee every year a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that to their knowledge we are in compliance with the Indenture and the Notes, or specifying the nature of any default. We will also notify the trustee if we become aware of the occurrence of any default and the steps to cure such default. *(See Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture)*

**Book-Entry System; Delivery and Form; Global Note**

The Notes of each series were issued in the form of one or more fully registered global notes deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear. Except under the circumstance described below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees. A holder may hold the holder's interests in the global notes in Europe through Clearstream or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream's or Euroclear's names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the Notes and all transfers relating to the Notes are reflected in the book-entry records of Clearstream and Euroclear.

Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the Notes takes place through Clearstream and Euroclear participants and settles in same-day funds. Owners of book-entry interests in the Notes receive payments relating to their Notes in euro, except as described in this summary under "-Issuance in Euro; Payments on the Notes."

Clearstream and Euroclear have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow the Notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market.

The policies of Clearstream and Euroclear govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to a holder's interest in the Notes held by the holder. We have no responsibility for any aspect of the records kept by Clearstream or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. We also do not supervise these systems in any way.

Clearstream and Euroclear and their participants perform these clearance and settlement functions under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. Holders should be aware that they are not obligated to perform or continue to perform these procedures and may modify them or discontinue them at any time.

Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the Notes are not entitled to have the Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the Notes under the Indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Note must rely on the procedures of the depositary and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes.

We have been advised by Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, as follows:

*Clearstream*. Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations ("Clearstream Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides Clearstream Participants with, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and establishment of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant either directly or indirectly.

------

Distributions with respect to Notes held beneficially through Clearstream are credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures.

*Euroclear*. Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear ("Euroclear Participants") and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the "Euroclear Operator"), under contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the "Cooperative"). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

The Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, or the Euroclear Terms and Conditions, and applicable Belgian law govern securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Specifically, these terms and conditions govern:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withdrawal of securities and cash from Euroclear; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• receipt of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear.

All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the terms and conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding securities through Euroclear Participants. Distributions with respect to interests in the Notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance with the Euroclear Terms and Conditions.

The information in this section concerning Clearstream and Euroclear's respective book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

*Clearance and Settlement Procedures*. We understand that investors that hold their Notes through Clearstream or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures that are applicable to conventional eurobonds in registered form. Notes will be credited to the securities custody accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear participants on the business day following the settlement date, for value on the settlement date. They will be credited either free of payment or against payment for value on the settlement date.

We understand that secondary market trading between Clearstream and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way following the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear. Secondary market trading will be settled using procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in registered form.

Holders should be aware that holders will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the Notes through Clearstream and Euroclear on the days when those clearing systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.

In addition, because of time-zone differences, there may be problems with completing transactions involving Clearstream and Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States. U.S. investors who wish to transfer their interests in the Notes, or to make or receive a payment or delivery of the Notes, on a particular day, may find that the transactions will not be performed until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, depending on whether Clearstream or Euroclear is used.

------

Clearstream or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, as applicable, in accordance with the relevant system's rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. Clearstream or the Euroclear Operator, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a holder under the Indenture on behalf of a Clearstream Participant or Euroclear Participant only in accordance with its relevant rules and procedures.

Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of the Notes among participants of Clearstream and Euroclear. However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may discontinue those procedures at any time.

***Certificated Notes***

If,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clearstream or Euroclear is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities properly, and neither the trustee nor we have approved a qualified successor within 90 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon the request of a holder upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default with respect to the Notes entitling the holders to accelerate the maturity thereof,

we will issue Notes in definitive form in authorized denominations in exchange for, all or part, as the case may be, the registered global note that had been held by the depositary. Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global note will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the trustee or relevant agent of ours or the trustee. It is expected that the depositary's instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global note that had been held by the depositary. In addition, we may at any time determine in our discretion that the Notes shall no longer be represented by a global note, in which case we will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for such global note pursuant to the procedure described above.

**Regarding the Trustee**

The trustee's current address is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 4655 Salisbury Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32256.

The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. During the existence of an event of default, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. *(See Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture)*

The Indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of the company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with the Company or any affiliate. If it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Indenture or in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such conflict or resign. *(See Sections 6.08 and 6.13 of the Base Indenture)*

**ARTICLE III** 

**SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN** 

**3.1 Common Stock Authorized.** Subject to the provisions of this Article and Article XI, the total aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Awards that are outstanding at May 14, 2024 or granted on or after that date, shall not exceed 93 million shares (which also shall be the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options). Any shares that are delivered or deemed to be delivered in connection with Stock Options or other non-Full-Value Awards shall be counted against this limit as one share for each share actually delivered or deemed to be delivered. Any shares that are delivered in connection with Full-Value Awards shall be counted against this limit as three shares for each share actually delivered.

**3.2 Share Counting Rules.** For purposes of the limitations specified in Section 3.1, the Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards) and make adjustments in accordance with this Section 3.2. Shares shall be counted against those reserved to the extent that such shares have been delivered and are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture, except that shares withheld to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes upon exercise of a Stock Option for which shares are issuable upon exercise (including such a Stock Option designated as a Stock Appreciation Right under Section 7.5), shall be deemed to be delivered for purposes of the limit set forth in Section 3.1. Accordingly, (i) to the extent that an Award under the Plan is canceled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares to the Participant, the shares retained by or returned to the Company will not be deemed to have been delivered under the Plan; and (ii) shares that are withheld from a Full-Value Award or separately surrendered by the Participant in payment of taxes relating to such Full-Value Award shall be deemed to constitute shares not delivered and will be available under the Plan. For any given Award, the number of shares that become available again (i.e., that are recaptured) will equal the number of shares that would be counted against the Plan limits for such Award in accordance with Section 3.1 if the Award were granted at the date of the event triggering the share recapture. The Committee may determine that Full-Value Awards may be outstanding that relate to more shares than the aggregate remaining available under the Plan so long as Awards will not in fact result in delivery and vesting of shares in excess of the number then available under the Plan. In addition, in the case of any Award granted in assumption of or in substitution for an award of a company or business acquired by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate or with which the Company or a Subsidiary or affiliate combines, shares delivered or deliverable in connection with such assumed or substitute Award shall not be counted against the number of shares reserved under the Plan.

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

**3.3 Shares Available.** At the discretion of the Board or the Committee, the shares of Common Stock to be delivered under this Plan shall be made available either from authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock controlled by the Company, or both; provided, however, that absent such determination by the Board or the Committee to the contrary, in whole or in part, the shares shall consist of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock.

**ARTICLE IV** 

**ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN** 

**4.1 Committee.** The Plan generally shall be administered by the Committee, subject to this Article IV. The Committee may act through subcommittees, including for purposes of perfecting exemptions under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, in which case the subcommittee shall be subject to and have authority under the charter applicable to the Committee, and the acts of the subcommittee shall be deemed to be acts of the Committee hereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Board may perform any function of the Committee under the Plan, including for purposes of approving grants of Awards to Directors. In any case in which the Board is performing a function of the Committee under the Plan, each reference to the Committee herein shall be deemed to refer to the Board, except where the context otherwise requires. The Committee may otherwise act through a subcommittee or with members of the Committee abstaining or recusing themselves to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements or to promote effective governance as determined by the Committee.

**4.2 Powers.** The Committee has discretionary authority to determine the Employees and Directors to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted. The Committee also has authority to determine the amount of shares of Common Stock that shall be subject to each Award and the terms, conditions, and limitations of each Award, subject to the express provisions of this Plan. The Committee shall have the discretion to interpret this Plan and to make all other determinations necessary for Plan administration. The Committee has authority to prescribe, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to this Plan, subject to the express provisions of this Plan. All Committee interpretations, determinations, and actions shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be binding on all parties. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry it into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.

**4.3 Agreements.** Awards shall be evidenced by an Agreement and may include any terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan, as the Committee may determine.

**4.4 No Liability.** No member of the Board, the Committee or any of its delegates shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan, any Award or any Agreement.

**ARTICLE V** 

**ELIGIBILITY** 

**5.1 Participation.** Participants shall be selected by the Committee from the Employees and Directors. Such designation may be by individual or by class.

**5.2 Incentive Stock Option Eligibility.** A Director shall not be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option. In addition, no Employee shall be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option who owns (within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code), or would own immediately before the grant of such

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

Incentive Stock Option, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary.

**5.3 Limit on Awards.** Awards granted to any Employee shall not exceed in the aggregate during any calendar year (a) 2,000,000 Stock Options and (b) 1,500,000 shares relating to Restricted Awards (subject in each case to adjustment as provided in Article XI). In the case of a Director of the Company, additional limits shall apply such that the grant-date fair value of Awards granted in any fiscal year as compensation for services as a Director, when added to the value of other compensation payable to the Director during such fiscal year, shall not exceed $900,000, except that such limit for a Director serving as Chair of the Board shall be $1,250,000.

**ARTICLE VI** 

**FORMS OF AWARDS; Minimum Vesting Requirements** 

**6.1 Award Eligibility.** The forms of Awards under this Plan are Stock Options as described in Article VII, Restricted Awards (Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units) as described in Article VIII, and Incentive Awards as described in Article IX. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit holders of Awards under this Plan to surrender outstanding Awards in order to exercise or realize the rights under other Awards subject to the restriction on repricing set forth in Section 13.2.

**6.2 Minimum Vesting.** Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, Awards (including any portion thereof) granted on or after July 23, 2024 (other than Awards that by their terms can be settled only in cash) shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date on which the Award is granted; provided, however, that the following Awards shall not be subject to this minimum vesting requirement: (i) Awards granted in assumption of or in substitution for an award of a company or business acquired by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate or with which the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate has combined; (ii) shares of Common Stock delivered in lieu of fully vested cash awards at the election of the Participant; and (iii) any other Awards as designated by the Committee relating to not more than five percent (5%) of the aggregate shares reserved as of July 23, 2024 under Section 3.1 (as adjusted under Section 11.1); and provided further that the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Committee's reserved discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of Awards in specified circumstances for any reason. In the case of Awards subject to the minimum vesting requirement and having proportionate vesting over a specified period, the proportionate vesting shall not apply during the initial year (so, for example, monthly vesting in the first year is not permitted for such Awards).

**ARTICLE VII** 

**STOCK OPTIONS** 

**7.1 Exercise Price.** The exercise price of Common Stock under each Stock Option shall be not less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

**7.2 Term.** Stock Options may be exercised as determined by the Committee, provided that Stock Options may in no event be exercised later than 10 years from the Date of Grant. During the Participant's lifetime, only the Participant may exercise an Incentive Stock Option. The Committee may amend the terms of an Incentive Stock Option at any time to include provisions that have the effect of changing such Incentive Stock Option to a Non-qualified Stock Option, or vice versa (to the extent any such change is permitted by applicable law).

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

**7.3 Method of Exercise.** Upon the exercise of a Stock Option, the exercise price shall be payable in full in cash or an equivalent acceptable to the Committee. No fractional shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option, and no payment shall be made in lieu of fractional shares. At the discretion of the Committee and provided such payment can be effected without causing the Participant to incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or causing the Company to incur additional expense under applicable accounting rules, the Committee may permit the exercise price to be paid by assigning and delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Participant or may require that, or permit the Participant to direct that, the Company withhold shares from the Stock Option shares having a value equal to the exercise price (or portion thereof to be paid through such share withholding). Any shares so assigned and delivered to the Company or withheld by the Company in payment or partial payment of the exercise price shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the exercise date. In addition, at the request of the Participant and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company in its discretion may approve arrangements with a brokerage firm under which such brokerage firm, on behalf of the Participant, shall pay to the Company the exercise price of the Stock Options being exercised, and the Company, pursuant to an irrevocable notice from the Participant, shall promptly deliver the shares being purchased to such firm.

**7.4 Other Stock Option Terms.** No dividend equivalent rights may be granted with respect to a Stock Option (including a Stock Option designated as a Stock Appreciation Right under Section 7.5) entitling the

Participant to the economic benefit of dividends paid on the Common Stock underlying a Stock Option prior to the exercise of such Stock Option. With respect to Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Date of Grant) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed under the Code. If any Stock Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option fails to so qualify, including under the requirement set forth in this Section 7.4, such Stock Option (or the affected portion of the Stock Option) shall be deemed to be a Non-qualified Stock Option and shall be exercisable in accordance with the Plan and the Stock Option's terms.

**7.5 Stock Appreciation Rights.** A Stock Option may be granted with terms requiring the exercise price to be paid by means of the Company withholding shares subject to the Stock Option upon exercise, in which case such Award may be designated as a "Stock Appreciation Right." The Committee may, at the time of grant, specify that the Fair Market Value of the Stock Option shares deliverable upon exercise of such Award will be paid in cash in lieu of delivery of shares, such that the Award is a cash-settled Stock Appreciation Right.

**ARTICLE VIII** 

**RESTRICTED AWARDS** 

**8.1 Types of Award.** The Committee, in its discretion, is authorized to grant Restricted Awards either as Service Awards or Performance Awards. As used herein, the term "Service Award" refers to any Restricted Award described in Section 8.2 and the term "Performance Award" refers to any Restricted Award described in Section 8.3. Restricted Stock shall be nontransferable until such time as all of the restrictions underlying the Award have been satisfied.

**8.2 Service Award.** The Committee may grant shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to a Participant subject to forfeiture upon an interruption in the Participant's continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary within a period specified by the Committee; provided, however, that, except as limited by and subject to Sections 6.2 and 11.2, the total period during which the Restricted Award is subject to forfeiture (the "vesting" period) shall not be less than three years, but with ratable or proportionate vesting (or any other less rapid schedule for vesting) permitted during such period and with

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

vesting permitted on an accelerated basis in the event of death, disability, Change in Control, Retirement or other special circumstances. The period during which Restricted Stock Units are subject to a risk of forfeiture may be shorter than the period during which settlement of the Restricted Stock Units is deferred. The foregoing notwithstanding, Stock Units granted as authorized under the exceptions set forth in Section 6.2 (including up to 5% of the shares reserved under Section 3.1 to which no minimum vesting requirement applies) apply also to the Service Awards under this Section 8.2.

**8.3 Performance Award.** The Committee may grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to a Participant subject to or upon the attainment of a Performance Objective as follows: The Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish (a) a Performance Award for a Participant for a specified period during which performance will be measured (the "Performance Period"), and (b) with respect to such Participant one or more Performance Objectives to be satisfied prior to the Participant's becoming entitled to settlement of such Performance Award for such Performance Period. Any Performance Objective shall be comprised of specified corporate, business group or divisional levels of performance or other business objectives to be obtained over the Performance Period. Notwithstanding attainment of the applicable Performance Objective or any provisions of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the power (which it may retain or may relinquish in the Agreement or other document), in its sole discretion, to (a) exercise negative discretion to reduce the Performance Award to a Participant for any Performance Period to zero or such other amount as it shall determine; (b) impose service requirements which must be fulfilled by the Participant during the Performance Period or subsequent to the attainment of the Performance Objective; and (c) provide for accelerated settlement or payment of a Performance Award upon a Change in Control or specified terminations of employment, except as limited by and subject to Section 11.2.

**8.4 Delivery.** If a Participant, with respect to a Service Award, continuously remains in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary for the period specified by the Committee, or, with respect to a Performance Award, if and to the extent that the Participant fulfills the requirements of the Performance Objective and any service requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, the shares awarded to such Participant as Restricted Stock shall be delivered to such Participant without any restrictions promptly after the applicable event, and the risk of forfeiture applicable to Restricted Stock Units shall end and such Restricted Stock Units shall then and thereafter be settled in accordance with the terms of such Restricted Stock Units (including any elective deferral of settlement permitted by the Committee). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Committee may determine that any restrictions (and/or deferral period, to the extent permitted under Section 12.10) applicable to a Restricted Award shall be deemed to end or have ended on an accelerated basis at the time of the Participant's death while employed or serving as a Director or upon the Participant's termination of employment or service due to disability or Retirement or following a Change in Control, except as limited by and subject to Sections 6.2 and 11.2.

**8.5 Shareholder Rights.** Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, each Participant shall have, with respect to all shares of Restricted Stock, all the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock; provided, however, that all distributions payable with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be retained by the Company and reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock to be issued in the name of the Participant. Any shares of Common Stock acquired as a result of reinvestment of such distributions shall also be Restricted Stock subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. A Participant shall have no rights of a shareholder relating to Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units until such time as shares are issued or delivered in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units.

**8.6 Stock Units; Deferral of Receipt of Restricted Stock.** A Stock Unit, whether or not restricted, shall represent the conditional right of the Participant to receive delivery of one share of Common Stock at a specified future date, subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Agreement. Until settled, a Stock Unit shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company with respect to which a Participant has rights no greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, each Stock Unit will carry with it the right to crediting of an amount equal to

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

dividends and distributions paid on a share of Common Stock ("dividend equivalents"), which amounts will be deemed reinvested in additional Stock Units, at the Fair Market Value of Common Stock at the dividend payment date or the date of settlement of the award as specified by the Committee. Such additional Stock Units will be subject to the same risk of forfeiture (this requirement may not be altered by the Committee), other restrictions, and deferral of settlement as the original Stock Units to which such additional Stock Units directly or indirectly relate. Unless the Committee determines to settle Stock Units in cash, Stock Units shall be settled solely by issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Participants to convert their Restricted Stock into an equivalent number of stock units as of the date on which all applicable restrictions pertaining to the Restricted Stock would either lapse or be deemed satisfied (the "Vesting Date"), or by means of an exchange of the Restricted Stock for Restricted Stock Units before the Vesting Date. Any such request for conversion must (a) be made by the Participant at a time a valid deferral may be elected under Code Section 409A and (b) specify a distribution date which is valid under Code Section 409A and in any case is no earlier than the earlier of (i) the Participant's termination of employment or (ii) the first anniversary of the Vesting Date.

**ARTICLE IX** 

**INCENTIVE AWARDS** 

The Committee, in its discretion, is authorized to grant Incentive Awards, which shall be Awards denominated as a cash amount and earnable based on achievement of a Performance Objective over a specified Performance Period. The Committee shall specify the duration of the Performance Period. In other respects, the terms of the Incentive Award, including the Performance Objectives, the time at which such Performance Objective is established, and other conditions of the Incentive Award shall be as specified in Section 8.3 with respect to Performance Awards. The Committee may specify that an Incentive Award shall be settled in cash or in shares of Common Stock. Incentive Awards shall be subject to the applicable per-person limitations under Section 5.3.

**ARTICLE X** 

**FORFEITURE AND EXPIRATION OF AWARDS** 

**10.1 Termination of Employment or Service.** Subject to the express provisions of this Plan and the terms of any applicable Agreement, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for the forfeiture or continuation of any Award for such period and upon such terms and conditions as are determined by the Committee in the event that a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director. In the absence of Committee action or except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, the following rules shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) With respect to Stock Options granted to Employees before March 12, 2024, Stock Options shall be exercisable only so long as the Participant is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary except that (1), in the event of Retirement, the Stock Options shall continue to vest according to the original schedule, but no Stock Options may be exercised after the expiration of the earlier of the remaining term of such Stock Options or 36 months (12 months in the case of Incentive Stock Options) following the date of Retirement; (2) in the event of permanent and total disability, the Stock Options shall continue to vest according to the original schedule, but no Stock Options may be exercised after the expiration of the earlier of the remaining term of such Stock Option or 36 months following the date of permanent and total disability; (3) in the event of death while an employee, Stock Options held at the time of death by the Participant shall vest and become immediately exercisable and may be exercised by the estate or beneficiary of such Participant until the expiration of the earlier of the remaining term of such Stock Options or 36 months from the date

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

of death; (4) in the event of the Participant's voluntary separation of employment (other than a Retirement) or involuntary separation of employment by the Company for cause (as defined by the Committee), the Stock Options shall terminate and be forfeited as of the date of separation of employment; (5) in the event of the Participant's involuntary separation of employment not for cause (as defined by the Committee) with severance pay (other than severance pay paid in a lump sum), the Stock Option shall continue to vest according to the original schedule, but no Stock Options may be exercised after the earlier of the remaining term of the Option or the end of the period of the Participant's receipt of severance pay, if any, from the Company; and (6) in the event of an involuntary separation of employment without severance pay or if severance pay is paid in a lump sum, the Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the date of separation of employment; any portion of a Stock Option that is not vested at the time of permanent and total disability or any separation of employment and which would not vest and become exercisable during the period the Stock Option will remain outstanding under this Section 10.1(a) shall terminate and be forfeited as of the time of permanent and total disability or separation of employment, unless otherwise determined by the Committee within 45 days after such event. With respect to Stock Options granted to Employees on or after March 12, 2024, Stock Options shall be exercisable only so long as the Participant is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, subject to such exceptions as may be specified in the terms of any applicable Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to Restricted Awards granted to Employees, in the event of a Participant's voluntary or involuntary separation before the expiration of the employment period specified by the Committee with respect to Service Awards, or before the fulfillment of the Performance Objective and any other restriction imposed by the Committee with respect to Performance Awards, any shares of Restricted Stock shall be returned to the Company and any Restricted Award shall be deemed to have been forfeited by the Participant as of the date of such separation, subject to such exceptions as may be specified in the terms of any applicable Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Committee may provide in any Agreement evidencing a Stock Option that, at the date of expiration of the Stock Option (including any date of forfeiture relating to a separation of employment, death or disability), if and to the extent the Stock Option is vested and the Fair Market Value per share of the underlying Common Stock exceeds the Stock Option's exercise price per share, the Stock Option will be automatically exercised, with shares subject to the Stock Option withheld in payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes, and the net remaining shares to then be delivered to the Participant.

**10.2 Leave of Absence.** With respect to an Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that any Participant who is on leave of absence for any reason shall be considered to still be in the employ of the Company, provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, also determine that rights to such Award during a leave of absence shall be limited to the extent to which such rights were earned or vested when such leave of absence began.

**10.3 Additional Forfeiture Provisions.** The Committee may condition a Participant's right to receive a grant of an Award, to exercise the Award, to receive a settlement or distribution with respect to the Award, to retain cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property acquired in connection with an Award, or to retain the profit or gain realized by a Participant in connection with an Award, upon compliance by the Participant with specified conditions that protect the business interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates from harmful actions of the Participant or otherwise conform to high standards of corporate governance, including (i) conditions providing for such forfeitures in the event that Company financial statements are restated due to misconduct if the Participant bears substantial responsibility for such misconduct or if the restated financial information would have adversely affected the level of achievement of performance measures upon which the earning or value of the Participant's Award was based; and (ii) conditions relating to non-competition, confidentiality of information relating to or possessed by the Company, non-solicitation of customers, suppliers, and employees of the Company, cooperation in litigation, non-disparagement of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the officers, directors and affiliates of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and other restrictions

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

upon or covenants of the Participant, including during specified periods following termination of employment or service to the Company. Accordingly, an Award may include terms providing for a "clawback" or forfeiture from the Participant of the profit or gain realized by a Participant in connection with an Award, including cash or other proceeds received upon sale of Stock acquired in connection with an Award.

**ARTICLE XI** 

**ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS** 

**11.1 Share Adjustments.** If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities, or if additional, new, or different shares or other securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, through merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, an appropriate adjustment in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Participants may be made, in the discretion of the Committee, in all or any of the following (i) the maximum number and kind of shares reserved, subject to Awards or available under Section 3.1 and the number of Awards that may be granted to an Employee in the specified period under Section 5.3; (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to then outstanding Awards; and (iii) the price for each share or other unit of any other securities subject to then outstanding Awards. The Committee may also make any other adjustments, or take such action as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Participants. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event of an equity restructuring, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 718 (formerly FAS 123(R)), which affects the Common Stock, a Participant shall have a legal right to an adjustment to the Participant's Award which shall preserve without enlarging the value of the Award, with the manner of such adjustment to be determined by the Committee in its discretion, and subject to any limitation on this right set forth in the applicable Award agreement. Any fractional share resulting from such adjustment may be eliminated.

**11.2 Corporate Changes.** Subject to Article XIII, upon (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (ii) a reorganization, merger, or consolidation (other than a merger or consolidation effecting a reincorporation of the Company in another state or any other merger or consolidation in which the shareholders of the surviving Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the merger or consolidation are substantially identical to the shareholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the merger or consolidation) of the Company with one or more corporations, following which the Company is not the surviving Company (or survives only as a subsidiary of another Company in a transaction in which the shareholders of the parent of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction are not substantially identical to the shareholders of the Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the transaction); (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) the occurrence of a Change in Control, subject to the terms of any applicable Agreement, the Committee serving prior to the date of the applicable event may, to the extent permitted in Section 3.1 of this Plan (and subject to any applicable restriction on repricing under Section 13.2), in its discretion and without obtaining shareholder approval, take any one or more of the following actions with respect to any Participant, except as limited by and subject to Section 6.2:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) accelerate the vesting and exercise dates of any or all outstanding Awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) eliminate any and all restrictions with respect to outstanding Restricted Awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) pay cash to any or all holders of Stock Options in exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding Stock Options and cash out all outstanding stock units or Restricted Awards, provided

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

that payment of consideration equivalent to the consideration received by shareholders net of any exercise price payable with respect to the Award, shall be sufficient payment for the cash-out of an Award (for clarity, if a Stock Option, including a Stock Option designated as a Stock Appreciation Right, had an exercise price in excess of such consideration, the Stock Option could be cancelled with no payment to the Participant);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) grant new Awards to any Participants; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) make any other adjustments or amendments to outstanding Awards or determine that there shall be substitution of new Awards by such successor employer Company or a parent or subsidiary company thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares or units subject to such awards and prices.

The foregoing notwithstanding, with regard to any Award granted on or after July 23, 2024, no acceleration of vesting or exercisability and no elimination of restrictions with respect to outstanding Stock Options or Restricted Awards is authorized under this Section 11.2 if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith, prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control or other triggering event under this Section 11.2, that the Company's obligations under Stock Options and Restricted Awards will be fully complied with and honored, legally assumed and/or new rights substituted therefore (each such complied with, honored, assumed or substituted stock option or restricted award being an "Assumed Award") by the Participant's employer (or the parent or a subsidiary of such employer) immediately following the Change in Control, provided that any such Assumed Award must meet the following criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Assumed Award must be based on stock that is traded on an established securities market, or that will be so traded within 30 days of the Change in Control, and that foreseeably will continue to be so traded on a long-term basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Assumed Award must provide to the Participant other rights, terms, conditions and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms, conditions and entitlements applicable under the Participant's related Stock Option or Restricted Award, including, but not limited to, identical or better vesting and forfeiture terms, exercise schedule and expiration date (provided that a Stock Option that ceases to qualify as an incentive stock option will not, solely for that reason, be deemed to have less favorable terms), and must provide accelerated vesting in the event of a termination of the Participant's employment by the Participant's employer not for cause or by the Participant based on material adverse changes in the Participant's duties, titles, status, or work location within the two years following the Change in Control or other triggering event under this Section 11.2;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Assumed Award must have economic value substantially equivalent to or greater than the value of the Participant's related Stock Option or Restricted Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control and considering intrinsic value, fair value, probable outcome of performance conditions and scaled earning based above- or below-target performance); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the Assumed Award must be structured in a manner intended to comply with provisions of Section 409A of the Code to avoid adverse tax consequences to the Participant thereunder.

**11.3 Binding Determination.** Adjustments under Sections 11.1 and 11.2 shall be made by the Committee, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

**ARTICLE XII** 

**GENERAL PROVISIONS** 

**12.1 No Right to Employment.** Nothing in this Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or affect the Company's or a Subsidiary's right to terminate the employment of any Participant at any time with or without cause or any right to continue to serve as a Director of the Company or affect any party's right to remove such Participant as a Director.

**12.2 Securities Requirements.** The Company shall not be obligated to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award unless all applicable requirements imposed by federal and state laws, regulatory agencies, and securities exchanges upon which the Common Stock may be listed have been fully complied with. As a condition precedent to the issuance of shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements.

**12.3 No Right to Stock.** No Participant and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through such Participant shall have any right, title, or interest in any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved under this Plan or subject to any Award except as to such shares of Common Stock, if any, that have been issued or transferred to such Participant or other person entitled to receive such Common Stock under the terms of the Award.

**12.4 Withholding.** The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash any federal, state, or local taxes as required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. In the case of Awards paid or payable in Common Stock, the Participant or other person receiving such Common Stock may be required to pay to the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, the amount of any such taxes which the Company or Subsidiary is required to withhold with respect to such Common Stock. Also, at the discretion of the Committee and provided such withholding can be effected without causing the Participant to incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may require or permit the Participant to elect (i) to have the Company or Subsidiary withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be issued or transferred to the Participant the number of shares necessary to satisfy the Company's or Subsidiary's obligation to withhold taxes, such determination, (A) in the case of Restricted Stock Units (other than those vesting upon certification of the achievement of a performance goal), to be based on the shares' Fair Market Value as of the date immediately preceding the date on which the Participant becomes subject to income taxation with respect to the Award, and (B), in the case of other Awards, to be based on the shares' Fair Market Value as of the date on which the Participant becomes subject to income taxation with respect to the Award, (ii) deliver sufficient shares of Common Stock (based upon the Fair Market Value at the date of withholding) to satisfy the withholding obligations, or (iii) deliver sufficient cash to satisfy the withholding obligations. Participants who elect to use such a stock withholding feature must make the election at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee.

**12.5 No Disposition.** No Award under this Plan may be the subject of any Disposition (excluding shares of Common Stock with respect to which all restrictions have lapsed), other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Any attempted Disposition in violation of this provision shall be void and ineffective for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to transfer a Non-qualified Stock Option or Restricted Stock Unit to (a) a member or members of the Participant's immediate family, (b) a trust, the beneficiaries of which consist exclusively of members of the Participant's immediate family, (c) a partnership, the partners of which consist exclusively of members of the Participant's immediate family, or (d) any similar entity created for exclusive benefit of members of the Participant's immediate family; provided, however, that such Disposition must be not for value.

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

**12.6 Severability; Construction.** If any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, then the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but such provision shall be fully severable and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. Headings and subheadings are for convenience only and not to be conclusive with respect to construction of this Plan.

**12.7 Governing Law.** All questions arising with respect to the provisions of this Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except as may be required by applicable federal law.

**12.8 Other Deferrals.** Subject to Section 12.10, the Committee may permit selected Participants to elect to defer payment of Awards in accordance with procedures established by the Committee including, without limitation, procedures intended to defer taxation on such deferrals until receipt (including procedures designed to avoid incurrence of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act). Any deferred payment, whether elected by the Participant or specified by an Agreement or by the Committee, may require forfeiture in accordance with stated events, as determined by the Committee.

**12.9 Awards to Participants Outside the United States.** The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held by a Participant who is then resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant's residence or employment abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States. The Committee is authorized to adopt subplans to achieve the purposes of this Section 12.9. An Award may have terms under this Section 12.9 that are inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, including authorizing cash payments in lieu of issuance or delivery of shares, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) for the Participant whose Award are granted with or modified to provide such terms.

**12.10 Compliance with Code Section 409A***.* 

(a) *409A Awards.* Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, the terms of any Award that is deemed to be a deferral for purposes of Code Section 409A which is held by an employee subject to United States federal income taxation (a "409A Award"), including any authority of the Company and rights of the Participant with respect to the 409A Award, shall be limited to those terms permitted under Section 409A, and any terms not permitted under Section 409A shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary to conform with Section 409A. Terms of Awards shall be interpreted in a manner that, according to the character of the Award, results in an exemption from Code Section 409A or compliance with Code Section 409A. The following rules will apply to 409A Awards:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If a Participant is permitted to elect to defer an Award or any payment under a 409A Award, such election will be permitted only at times in compliance with Section 409A (including transition rules thereunder);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Company shall have no authority to accelerate distributions relating to 409A Awards in excess of the authority permitted under Section 409A;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Any distribution of a 409A Award triggered by a Participant's termination of employment and intended to qualify under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) shall be made only at the time that the Participant has had a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) (or earlier at such time, after a termination of employment, that there occurs another event triggering a distribution under the Plan or the applicable Award agreement in compliance with Section 409A);

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any distribution of a 409A Award subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) that would be made within six months following a separation from service of a "Specified Employee" as defined under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall instead occur at the expiration of the six-month period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). In the case of installments, this delay shall not affect the timing of any installment otherwise payable after the six-month delay period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) In the case of any distribution of a 409A Award, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan or an Award Agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made not later than 74 days after the date at which the settlement of the Award is specified to occur; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) If any portion of an Award that is scheduled to vest at a single specified date (a vesting "tranche") is partly deemed a 409A Award and partly deemed exempt from Section 409A (as a short-term deferral or otherwise), the time of settlement of the entire tranche will be governed by the distribution rules applicable to the 409A Award.

(b) *Rules Applicable to Non-409A Options/SARs.* With respect to Stock Options (other than Stock Options intended to be 409A Awards), in applying Code Sections 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under Code Section 414(b), the language "at least 20 percent" shall be used instead of "at least 80 percent" at each place it appears in Sections 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3), and in applying Treasury Regulation § 1.414(c)-2 (or any successor provision) for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c), the language "at least 20 percent" shall be used instead of "at least 80 percent" at each place it appears in Treasury Regulation §1.414(c)-2.

(c) *Distributions Upon Vesting.* In the case of any Award providing for a distribution upon the lapse of a risk of forfeiture, if the timing of such distribution is not otherwise specified in the Plan or an Agreement or other governing document, the distribution shall be made not later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the substantial risk of forfeiture lapsed.

(d) *Scope and Application of this Provision.* For purposes of this Section 12.10, references to a term or event (including any authority or right of the Company or a Participant) being "permitted" under Section 409A mean that the term or event will not cause the Participant to be deemed to be in constructive receipt of compensation relating to the 409A Award prior to the distribution of cash, shares or other property or to be liable for payment of interest or a tax penalty under Section 409A.

**12.11 No Loans to Participants.** No credit shall be extended to Participants in the form of personal loans in connection with Awards, whether for purposes of paying the exercise price or withholding taxes or otherwise. Any amount due and payable to the Company by a Participant shall be immediately due and shall be paid as promptly as practicable.

**12.12 Nonexclusivity of the Plan.** Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements, apart from the Plan, as it may deem desirable, which arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

**ARTICLE XIII** 

**AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION** 

**13.1 Amendments; Suspension; Termination.** The Board may at any time amend, suspend (and if suspended, may reinstate) or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that the Board may not, without approval of the shareholders of the Company, amend this Plan so as to (a) increase the number of shares

------

**Exhibit 10.4**

of Common Stock subject to this Plan except as permitted in Article XI or (b) reduce the exercise price for shares of Common Stock covered by Stock Options granted hereunder below the applicable price specified in Article VII of this Plan or (c) make a material revision to the Plan within the meaning of Section 303A(8) of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange as then in effect; and provided further, that the Board may not modify, impair or cancel any outstanding Award in a manner that materially and adversely affects a Participant without the consent of such Participant. The authority of the Committee to waive or modify an Award term after the Award has been granted does not permit waiver or modification of a term that would be mandatory under the Plan for any Award newly granted at the date of the waiver or modification. Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board of Directors, the authority of the Committee to make grants under the Plan will terminate on the date that is ten years after the latest date upon which shareholders of the Company have approved the Plan (including approval of the Plan as amended and restated).

**13.2 Restriction on Repricing.** Without the approval of shareholders, the Committee will not amend or replace previously granted Stock Options (including Stock Options designated as Stock Appreciation Rights under Section 7.5) in a transaction that constitutes a "repricing," which for this purpose means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect:

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lowering the exercise price of the Stock Option after it is granted;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Canceling the Stock Option at a time when its exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the underlying Stock, in exchange for another Stock Option, restricted stock, other equity, or other cash or property;

provided, however, that the foregoing transactions shall not be deemed a repricing if pursuant to an adjustment authorized under Section 11.1.

**ARTICLE XIV** 

**DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION** 

**14.1 Date of Plan Adoption.** This Plan was adopted by the Board effective December 3, 1996 and approved by shareholders April 15, 1997. An amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board effective February 6, 2007, and approved by shareholders on April 24, 2007, and an amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board effective February 9, 2010, and approved by shareholders on April 27, 2010. In accordance with Article XI of the Plan, adjustments to Sections 3.1 and 5.3 were made to reflect the Company's stock dividend effective December 20, 2013. An amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board effective February 10, 2015, subject to shareholder approval at the Company's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 28, 2015. An amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board effective March 12, 2024. An amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board effective May 14, 2024, subject to approval by shareholders on July 23, 2024. Awards (other than Restricted Stock) may be granted under the terms of the amended and restated Plan prior to such shareholder approval, but if the requisite shareholder approval is not obtained, to the extent any such Award exceeded the authorization under the terms of the Plan in effect prior to the amendment and restatement, the excess portion of such Award shall be canceled. An amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board effective July 22, 2025. This Plan shall continue in effect with respect to Awards granted before termination of the Committee's authority to grant new Awards until such Awards have been settled, terminated or forfeited and the Company has no further obligations or rights with respect to such Awards.
