## Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 6, 2026, Lakeland Industries, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a General Release and Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with Roger D. Shannon, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, in connection with the previously disclosed termination of Mr. Shannon's employment effective December 31, 2025 (the "Employment Termination Date").

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Shannon will be entitled to: (i) four months of Mr. Shannon's base salary in effect as of the Employment Termination Date, payable in substantially equal bi-weekly installments following the effective date of the Separation Agreement, (ii) a pro-rated short-term incentive annual cash bonus for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 ("FY26"), if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors following the end of FY26 based on the Company's achievement of pre-established performance measures, to be paid to Mr. Shannon within 90 days following the end of FY26, (iii) the continued vesting of certain of Mr. Shannon's outstanding unvested equity awards that are scheduled to vest prior to April 30, 2026, and (iv) COBRA continuation payments for a period of up to six months following the Employment Termination Date (collectively, the "Severance Payments"). Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, which contains a release of claims against the Company, Mr. Shannon may revoke the Separation Agreement for a period of seven days after January 6, 2026, the date Mr. Shannon executed the Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement will not become effective and enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has ended. The Severance Payments are subject to forfeiture and clawback if Mr. Shannon breaches any of the provisions of the Separation Agreement.

The above description of the terms of the Separation Agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the complete document, which will be filed by the Company with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.
