**BIRKS GROUP ANNOUNCES THE CLOSING OF A NEW TERM LOAN FACILITY WITH** 

**GORDON BROTHERS REPLACING ITS FORMER TERM LOAN FACILITY AND THE** 

**EXTENSION OF ITS REVOLVER FACILITY WITH WELLS FARGO** 

*All figures presented herein are in Canadian dollars, unless indicated otherwise.* 

***Montreal, Quebec – June 5, 2026 –*** Birks Group Inc. ("Birks Group" or the "Company") (NYSE American LLC: BGI) announced today the signing of a five-year $32.5 million senior secured term loan facility ("Term Loan") with 1903P Loan Agent, LLC, an affiliate of Gordon Brothers Group ("Gordon Brothers") and the designated administrative agent under the facility. The new Term Loan, which matures in June 2031, refinances the Company's existing $26 million senior secured term loan credit facility which has been repaid in full. Contemporaneously with the closing of the Term Loan with Gordon Brothers, the Company entered into an amendment and extension of its senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolver Facility") with Wells Fargo Canada Corporation ("Wells Fargo"), extending the maturity date until June 2031 and providing for total commitments of $93 million, an increase of $3 million. The new and amended financing provides the Company with increased liquidity, enhanced financial flexibility and extended debt maturities, while continuing to support the execution of its strategic initiatives, including investments in store renovations, omni-channel capabilities, digital commerce initiatives and working capital requirements.

The $32.5 million Term Loan, decreasing to $30.0 million in December 2027, bears interest at a rate equal to Term CORRA (with an interest rate floor), plus a range from 6.75% to 7.75%, based on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio throughout the term of the Term Loan. The Revolver Facility bears interest at a rate equal to Term CORRA or SOFR, as applicable, plus a range from 2.00% to 2.5% or 1.625% to 2.125% for drawings in U.S. dollars, based on the borrowing capacity of the Company throughout the term of the Revolver Facility.

Concurrently with the closing of the new and amended facilities, the Company and Mangrove Holding S.A. ("Mangrove"), one of the Company's controlling shareholders, have signed an amendment to the existing $3.75 million loan agreement entered into in July 2025 extending the maturity date until June 2031 ("Mangrove Loan"). Going forward, the Mangrove Loan will bear interest at a rate of 12.2% effective August 1, 2026, and will be repaid through annual principal payments of $250,000 over a period of three years, commencing in June 2028, with a final repayment of $3.0 million within a period of thirty (30) days prior to the June 2031 maturity date.
