**BRADLEY L. RADOFF AND JUMANA CAPITAL INVESTMENTS LLC**

June [ ], 2026

Dear Fellow Genesco Shareholders:

Bradley L. Radoff, Jumana Capital Investments LLC and Christopher R. Martin (collectively, the "Radoff-Jumana Group" or "we") are significant investors in Genesco Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Genesco" or the "Company"), who together with the other participants in their solicitation are the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 966,479 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common Stock") of the Company, representing approximately 8.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. We believe meaningful change to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") is necessary to ensure that the Company is being run in a manner consistent with your best interests. Accordingly, we are seeking your support for the election of our two (2) highly qualified nominees as directors at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in virtual format at [_:__] a.m. Central Time, on [●], 2026 via a live webcast at [______] (including any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting").

The Board is currently composed of nine (9) directors, each of whom will be standing for election at the Annual Meeting. Through the accompanying Proxy Statement and enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card, we are soliciting proxies to elect not only our two (2) nominees, Westervelt (Westy) T. Ballard, Jr. and Paula J. Poskon, but also seven (7) of the Company's nominees whose election we do not oppose. The Radoff-Jumana Group and the Company will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for election to the Board. Shareholders will have the ability to vote for up to nine (9) nominees on the Radoff-Jumana Group's enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. Any shareholder who wishes to vote for any combination of the Company's nominees and our nominees may do so on the Radoff-Jumana Group's enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. There is no need to use the Company's white proxy card or voting instruction form, regardless of how you wish to vote. In any case, we recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the Radoff-Jumana Group's nominees, who we believe are most qualified to serve as directors in order to achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders.

We strongly believe that shareholders will benefit from a meaningfully reconstituted Board that includes the addition of independent directors with strong, relevant experience, critically needed skill sets, fresh perspectives and a shared objective of enhancing value for the benefit of all Genesco shareholders. The individuals that we have nominated are highly qualified, significantly experienced and ready to serve the best interests of all shareholders of Genesco.

We urge you to carefully consider the information contained in the attached Proxy Statement and then support our efforts by signing, dating and returning the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card today. The attached Proxy Statement and the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about [●], 2026.

If you have already voted for the incumbent management slate on the Company's proxy card, you have every right to change your vote by signing, dating, marking your vote and returning a later dated **GOLD** universal proxy card or by voting virtually at the Annual Meeting.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with your vote, please contact Saratoga Proxy Consulting LLC, which is assisting us, at its address and toll-free number listed on the following page.

Thank you for your support,

/s/ Bradley L. Radoff and /s/ Christopher R. Martin

**2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS**

**OF**

**Genesco Inc.**

**_________________________<br>PROXY STATEMENT<br> OF<br> BRADLEY L. RADOFF AND Jumana Capital Investments LLC<br> _________________________<br>PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED GOLD UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD TODAY**

Bradley L. Radoff, Jumana Capital Investments LLC ("Jumana Capital") and Christopher R. Martin (collectively, the "Radoff-Jumana Group" or "we") are significant shareholders of Genesco Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Genesco" or the "Company"), who, together with the other participants in this solicitation, beneficially own an aggregate of 966,479 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, representing approximately 8.7% of the outstanding Common Stock. We strongly believe that the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") must be meaningfully reconstituted with directors who have the perspectives, skills and expertise to ensure that the Company is being run in shareholders' best interest. To that end, we have nominated two (2) highly qualified director nominees, each of whom would bring substantial expertise and deep experience to the Board, and was selected specifically for his or her commitment to representing the best interests of shareholders. At the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held in virtual format at [_:__] a.m. Central Time, on [●], 2026 via a live webcast at [______] (including any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting"), shareholders will have an opportunity to vote on the following items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To elect the Radoff-Jumana Group's two (2) director nominees, Westervelt
(Westy) T. Ballard, Jr. and Paula J. Poskon (collectively, the "Radoff-Jumana Nominees");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A non-binding, advisory vote on the Company's named executive officers' compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. A proposal to approve the Genesco Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Amended
Plan");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. A proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as independent
registered public accounting firm to the Company for the current fiscal year; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about [●], 2026.

The Company has disclosed that the Annual Meeting will take place in a virtual meeting format only. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. For further information on how to attend and vote virtually at the Annual Meeting and by proxy please see the "VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES" and "VIRTUAL MEETING" sections of this Proxy Statement.

The Board is currently composed of nine (9) directors, each with terms expiring at the Annual Meeting. Through this Proxy Statement and enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card, we are soliciting proxies to elect not only the two (2) Radoff-Jumana Nominees, but also seven (7) of the Company's nominees whose election we do not oppose, Matthew M. Bilunas, Carolyn Bojanowski, John F. Lambros, Angel R. Martinez, Mary E. Meixelsperger, Gregory A. Sandfort and Mimi E. Vaughn (the "Unopposed Company Nominees"). The Radoff-Jumana Group and Genesco will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for election to the Board. Shareholders will have the ability to vote for up to nine (9) nominees on the Radoff-Jumana Group's enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. Any shareholder who wishes to vote for seven (7) Company nominees in addition to the Radoff-Jumana Nominees may do so on the Radoff-Jumana Group's **GOLD** universal proxy card. There is no need to use the Company's white universal proxy card or voting instruction form, regardless of how you wish to vote.

Your vote to elect the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing two (2) incumbent directors. If elected, the Radoff-Jumana Nominees, subject to their fiduciary duties as directors, will seek to work with the other members of the Board to evaluate all opportunities to enhance shareholder value. However, the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will constitute a minority of the Board and there can be no guarantee that they will be able to implement the actions that they believe are necessary to unlock shareholder value. There is no assurance that any of the Company's nominees will serve as directors if all or some of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees are elected. The names, backgrounds and qualifications of the Company's nominees, and other information about them, can be found in the Company's proxy statement.

Shareholders are permitted to vote for fewer than nine (9) nominees or for any combination (up to nine (9) total) of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Company's nominees on the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. However, if shareholders choose to vote for any of the Company's nominees, we recommend that shareholders vote in favor of only the Company nominees who we believe are the most qualified to serve as directors – the Unopposed Company Nominees – to help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. We recommend that shareholders do not vote for any of the Company's nominees other than the Unopposed Company Nominees. Among other potential consequences, voting for Company nominees other than the Unopposed Company Nominees may result in the failure of one or all of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees to be elected to the Board. The Radoff-Jumana Group urges shareholders using our **GOLD** universal proxy card to vote "**FOR**" all of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and "**FOR**" the Unopposed Company Nominees.

**IF YOU MARK FEWER THAN NINE (9) "FOR" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, OUR GOLD UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD, WHEN DULY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED ONLY AS DIRECTED. IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED WITH RESPECT TO HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, THE PROXIES NAMED THEREIN WILL VOTE SUCH SHARES "FOR" THE TWO (2) RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES AND THE SEVEN (7) UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES.** 

**IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU MARK MORE THAN NINE (9) "FOR" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, ALL OF YOUR VOTES FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS WILL BE DEEMED INVALID.**

The Company has set the close of business on [●], 2026 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 535 Marriott Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37214. According to the Company's proxy statement, as of the Record Date, there were [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each such proposal to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

As of the date hereof, the Radoff-Jumana Group and the Radoff-Jumana Nominees (each a "Participant" and, collectively, the "Participants") collectively beneficially own 966,479 shares of Common Stock (the "Radoff-Jumana Group Shares"). We intend to vote all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares **FOR** the election of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Unopposed Company Nominees, **AGAINST** the approval of the non-binding, advisory vote on the Company's named executive officers' compensation, [**FOR**/**AGAINST]** the proposal to approve the Amended Plan and **FOR** the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as independent registered public accounting firm to the Company for the Company's current fiscal year.

While we currently intend to vote all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares in favor of the election of each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Unopposed Company Nominees, we reserve the right to vote some or all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares as we see fit, in order to achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. We would only intend to vote some or all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares in a different manner than what we are otherwise recommending in the event it were to become apparent to us, based on the projected voting results at such time, that less than all of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees would be elected at the Annual Meeting and that by voting the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares in a different manner we could help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. Shareholders should understand that all shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked.

We urge you to carefully consider the information contained in this Proxy Statement and then support our efforts by signing, dating and returning the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card today.

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY THE RADOFF-JUMANA GROUP AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OR MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER MATTERS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. SHOULD OTHER MATTERS, WHICH THE RADOFF-JUMANA GROUP IS NOT AWARE OF A REASONABLE TIME BEFORE THIS SOLICITATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING, THE PERSONS NAMED AS PROXIES IN THE ENCLOSED **GOLD** UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD WILL VOTE ON SUCH MATTERS IN THEIR DISCRETION.

THE RADOFF-JUMANA GROUP URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE **GOLD** UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD VOTING "FOR" THE ELECTION OF THE RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY COMPANY MANAGEMENT OR THE BOARD, YOU MAY REVOKE THAT PROXY AND VOTE ON EACH OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED **GOLD** UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD. THE LATEST DATED PROXY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. ANY PROXY MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE ANNUAL MEETING BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER DATED PROXY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OR BY VOTING VIRTUALLY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

**Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting—This Proxy Statement and our GOLD universal proxy card are available at:**

**BACKGROUND TO THE SOLICITATION**

The following is a chronology of material events leading up to this proxy solicitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On March 16, 2026, a representative of Mr. Radoff emailed the Company's investor relations team
requesting a meeting with representatives of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On March 30, 2026, Mr. Radoff met virtually with members of the Company's investor relations team
and inquired as to the Company's current operations and contemplated strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 13, 2026, the Radoff-Jumana Group's legal counsel submitted a request to the Company on
behalf of the Radoff-Jumana Group for the Company to provide an electronic copy of the Company's form of questionnaire (the "Questionnaire")
in accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws"). The Questionnaire was requested to
be provided no later than April 15, 2026 due to the looming nomination deadline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 15, 2026, the Radoff-Jumana Group filed a Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") disclosing aggregate beneficial ownership of approximately 7.6% of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock. The Schedule 13D also disclosed that the Radoff-Jumana Group intends to engage constructively
with the Company's Board and management team regarding opportunities to unlock value for all shareholders, including, among other
matters, potential changes to the composition of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 16, 2026, the Radoff-Jumana Group's legal counsel followed up with the Company regarding
the status of the Questionnaire. The Company advised that the Questionnaire would be provided the following day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 17, 2026, the Company provided the Questionnaire to the Radoff-Jumana Group's legal counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 21, 2026, Mr. Radoff and Adam Hirsch, a Managing Director of Jumana Capital, had a call with
Mimi Eckel Vaughn, the Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During the call, Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch expressed
the Radoff-Jumana Group's views with respect to the Company and offered suggestions for how the Company could enhance shareholder
value, including, among others, through potential asset sales, share repurchases, cutting overhead and/or a sale leaseback.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 24, 2026, Mr. Radoff delivered a notice of nomination to the Company, in accordance with the
Bylaws, nominating Westervelt (Westy) T. Ballard, Jr., Glen W. Herrick, Kashif (Kash) Molwani and Paula J. Poskon (collectively, the "Initial
Candidates") for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting (the "Nomination Notice"), and in satisfaction of the notice
requirements under Rule 14a-19(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on April 24, 2026, prior to the delivery of the Nomination Notice, Mr. Radoff, Jumana Capital
 and Mr. Martin (together with Jumana Capital, "Jumana") and the Initial Candidates entered into the Group Agreement (as
 defined and described below) in connection with the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 27, 2026, the Radoff-Jumana Group filed an amendment to the Schedule 13D disclosing the submission
of the Nomination Notice and aggregate beneficial ownership of approximately 8.1% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On April 28, 2026, Scott E. Becker, the Company's Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate
Secretary, emailed Mr. Radoff to confirm receipt of the Nomination Notice and advised that he could arrange a discussion if Mr. Radoff
had further thoughts regarding the Board and the Company that he would like to share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on April 28, 2026, Mr. Radoff responded to Mr. Becker by requesting a conversation with Lead Independent
Director Gregory A. Sandfort and any other non-legacy directors as a constructive next step given the Radoff-Jumana Group's concerns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 1, 2026, Mr. Becker informed Mr. Radoff that Mr. Sandfort and CEO Vaughn could be available to
meet with him and that he would be back to Mr. Radoff with proposed times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on May 1, 2026, Mr. Radoff responded to Mr. Becker by explaining that while he is happy to chat with
CEO Vaughn again, the Company reached out asking for thoughts on the Board and Company so he specifically requested a call with the Lead
Independent Director and any other non-legacy (not over-tenured) directors. Mr. Radoff expressed the Radoff-Jumana Group's view
that having CEO Vaughn on such a call would be inappropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 4, 2026, Mr. Becker responded by expressing the Company's
view that CEO Vaughn should be on any call and that Mr. Sandfort could join as well. Mr. Becker also expressed the Company's interest
in setting up interviews between the Initial Candidates and the Nominating and Governance Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on May 4, 2026, Mr. Radoff responded to Mr. Becker by explaining that the Radoff-Jumana Group recently
shared its thoughts with CEO Vaughn, including many opportunities it believes the Company has to create value, and would be happy to continue
that conversation. Mr. Radoff also expressed the Radoff-Jumana Group's belief that it needs to be able to share its thoughts with
the independent directors and that the refusal to allow it to have conversations with independent directors without CEO Vaughn's
presence underscores its concerns regarding the Board's ability to provide effective oversight of the Company in the best interests
of shareholders. Mr. Radoff also explained that the Radoff-Jumana Group will happily make its candidates available for interviews assuming
it can have a conversation with Mr. Sandfort and any other non-legacy independent directors who are able to join.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 6, 2026, the Company requested a call between CEO Vaughn and Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch for the
following day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 7, 2026, the Company provided notice to the Radoff-Jumana Group pursuant to Rule 14a-19(d) of the
Exchange Act of its intent to solicit proxies at the Annual Meeting in favor of the election of incumbent directors Joanna Barsh, Matthew
Bilunas, Carolyn Bojanowski, John Lambros, Thurgood Marshall, Jr., Angel Martinez, Mary Meixelsperger, Mr. Sandfort and CEO Vaughn.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on May 7, 2026, Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch had another call with CEO
Vaughn, which was also attended by Darryl MacQuarrie, the Company's Senior Director of Financial Planning and Analysis. During the
call, Mr. Radoff again expressed the Radoff-Jumana Group's views on potential ways the Company could enhance value. CEO Vaughn agreed
to allow Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch to have a call with Mr. Sandfort, and Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch offered to help facilitate interviews
with the Initial Candidates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 14, 2026, Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch had a call with Messrs. Becker and Sandfort. During the call,
Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch expressed the Radoff-Jumana Group's views with respect to the Company and offered suggestions for the
Company to consider to enhance value, including refreshing the Board, separating the Chair and CEO roles, increasing share repurchases,
exploring a sale-leaseback and evaluating divestitures of certain businesses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 19, 2026, counsel to the Company contacted counsel to the Radoff-Jumana
Group to convey that the Company believed that a discussion regarding the Company's upcoming earnings announcement may impact the
Radoff-Jumana Group's views and that it would be willing to enter into a short-term non-disclosure agreement (the "Earnings
NDA") with Mr. Radoff that would expire after issuance of the earnings release and completion of the Company's analyst
call. Later that day, counsel to the Radoff-Jumana Group responded to counsel to the Company that the Radoff-Jumana Group was not willing
to enter into the Earnings NDA at that time, but would make the Initial Candidates available for interviews with the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 20, 2026, counsel to the Radoff-Jumana Group contacted counsel to the Company to convey that the
Radoff-Jumana Group was willing to enter into the proposed Earnings NDA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 21, 2026, Mr. Radoff and Jumana Capital entered into the Earnings NDA with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on May 21, 2026, counsel to the Company contacted counsel to the Radoff-Jumana
Group to arrange for the Initial Candidates to be interviewed by certain members of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 24, 2026, the Company provided Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch with a draft of the Company's upcoming
earnings release pursuant to the Earnings NDA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 26, 2026, Messrs. Radoff and Hirsch met virtually with CEO Vaughn
and Mr. Becker to discuss the draft earnings release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Over May 27 and May 28, 2026, each of the Initial Candidates participated
in interviews with Ms. Barsh, Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, Mr. Sandfort and Ms. Meixelsperger, Chair of the Audit
Committee, via videoconference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 29, 2026, counsel to the Company contacted counsel to the Radoff-Jumana
Group and indicated that the Board would not be nominating any of the Initial Candidates. Counsel to the Radoff-Jumana Group questioned
if the interviews were conducted in good faith or were merely pretextual, as the interviews had only concluded the day before and it was
unclear whether the Board had held a meeting since the conclusion of the interviews. Counsel to the Company seemingly expressed hope that
the Radoff-Jumana Group would withdraw the Nomination Notice based on the earnings announcement earlier in the day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On June 1, 2026, counsel to the Company contacted counsel to the
 Radoff-Jumana Group to confirm that the Board had convened a meeting and decided not to nominate any of the Initial Candidates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on June 1 and June 2, 2026, counsel to the Radoff-Jumana Group and counsel to the Company exchanged
emails concerning the calculation of the Company's average price of share repurchases. Through the course of these exchanges, it
became clear that the Company limited its calculations to only the prior three years, yielding an artificially low average repurchase
price compared to the $45.83 average repurchase price over the last ten fiscal years, during which period CEO Vaughn served as either
CEO or CFO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on June 1, 2026, Mr. Hirsch contacted CEO Vaughn to ask if she would like to have a meeting with
Akbar Mohamed, the founder of Jumana Capital and a highly accomplished entrepreneur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On June 2, 2026, CEO Vaughn replied to Mr. Hirsch that she would like to meet with Mr. Mohamed and scheduled
the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On June 3, 2026, the Company filed its preliminary proxy statement with the SEC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On June 4, 2026, Mr. Mohamed had a call with CEO Vaughn. During the call,
the parties discussed the Company generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On June 5, 2026, Mr. Radoff sent the Company a demand pursuant to Tennessee law to inspect certain shareholder
list materials and related information in connection with the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On June 8, 2026, Mr. Radoff delivered a letter to the Company withdrawing the nominations of Messrs. Herrick
and Molwani for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on June 8, 2026, Mr. Radoff, Jumana and the Initial Candidates entered into an Amendment to the
 Group Agreement to remove Messrs. Herrick and Molwani as parties to the Group Agreement and as members of any "group"
 with the Participants with respect to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on June 8, 2026, the Radoff-Jumana Group filed this preliminary proxy statement with the SEC.

**REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION**

Collectively, the Radoff-Jumana Group is a significant shareholder of Genesco, owning approximately 8.7% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. Based on our review of the Company's performance, executive and director compensation, and corporate governance, we believe Genesco has the potential to create significant shareholder value by adding fresh, highly qualified, independent individuals to the boardroom – individuals who would not be beholden to Board Chair, President, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer Mimi Vaughn.

Given the Company's underperformance, particularly during Ms. Vaughn's tenure as CEO, we believe it is necessary for fresh perspectives and experienced shareholder representatives and designees to be added to the Board. That is why we nominated two independent director candidates who collectively possess the necessary financial, capital allocation and public company governance experience that we believe is urgently needed in the Company's boardroom.

***The Board Has Presided Over Long-Term Share Price Underperformance***

We believe that Genesco's Board has proven itself unwilling or unable to function with the level of care that shareholders deserve from public company directors. From our perspective, this lack of oversight stems from long-tenured directors in the boardroom who are beholden to or otherwise unable to hold CEO Vaughn – who herself has a long tenure at the Company – accountable and has led to the destruction of shareholder value. For instance, the two directors we are targeting, Thurgood Marshall, Jr. and Joanna Barsh, have served on Genesco's Board for 14 years and 13 years, respectively. While CEO Vaughn has only served on the Board for 6 years, she first joined the Company in 2003, a nearly 23-year tenure. As shown below, outside of the past year, total shareholder returns ("TSR") have been persistently negative during relevant time periods – including Ms. Vaughn's tenure as CEO and since she was appointed CFO in February 2015. While the long-tenured incumbents we are targeting and CEO Vaughn may attempt to convince shareholders that the Company's one-year TSR justifies their continued service as directors, we believe it is clearly an outlier and largely a result of the immense destruction of value that occurred prior thereto. Long-term shareholders have still suffered immensely.

Source: FactSet. Calculated as of market close on April 14, 2026, the trading day immediately prior to the Radoff-Jumana Group's public Schedule 13D filing with respect to the Company. Ms. Vaughn became CEO effective February 1, 2020. Ms. Vaughn became CFO effective February 1, 2015.

Moreover, during Mr. Marshall's and Ms. Barsh's tenures, Genesco's TSR is an abysmal -53.4% and -50.2%, respectively.<sup>1</sup> We ask how the Board can justify their continued service on the Board given the immense destruction of value overseen during their tenures.

***We Believe the Company has Been Run More as a Lifestyle Business Benefitting Management and the Board Rather than Delivering Value for Shareholders***

We believe that the Company's poor performance and the Board's failure to create long-term value for Genesco's shareholders is emblematic of a lifestyle business that benefits management and the Board with prestige and compensation rather than delivering value for shareholders. We believe this has led to a situation where the Board lacks sufficient alignment with shareholders. For example, over the past three years, only one director has purchased shares of Common Stock – Mr. Sandfort<sup>2</sup> – while during the same period each non-executive director has collected over $200,000 in director compensation per year.<sup>3</sup> We think having directors that persistently fail to invest their own money in the Company demonstrates a lack of conviction and confidence in Genesco and renders the Board woefully misaligned with shareholders. If elected, the Radoff-Jumana Nominees intend to purchase shares of Common Stock with their own personal capital, something Ms. Barsh has never done in her 13 years as a director of the Company, and Mr. Marshall last did way back in 2012.<sup>4</sup>

Further, while CEO Vaughn appears to currently beneficially own approximately 4.1% of the outstanding Common Stock,<sup>5</sup> these shares were almost exclusively received in connection with her service in various roles with the Company.<sup>6</sup> In fact, since CEO Vaughn first became subject to Section 16 reporting obligations at Genesco in October of 2003, it appears that she has only purchased a total of 20,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market over just two separate days – one in September 2017 and one in May 2023.<sup>7</sup> Further, we believe CEO Vaughn has received extremely generous compensation from the Company despite delivering little to no value to shareholders during her tenure. Since her appointment as CEO in February 2020, CEO Vaughn has received over $29 million<sup>8</sup> in aggregate compensation – over that same period the Company's TSR was -18.5%. Moreover, CEO Vaughn has received approximately $41.7 million in aggregate compensation when calculated from when she was first included in the Company's "Summary Compensation Table" in the Company's proxy statement filed in 2013.<sup>9</sup> We are concerned that CEO Vaughn continues to rake in a significant paycheck from the Company without being held accountable to actually provide results to shareholders.

***Inherent Conflicts Have Permitted Poor Corporate Governance***

 ****

Under the leadership of CEO Vaughn, the Board has, in our view, retained anti-shareholder policies and failed to meaningfully take into account shareholder input. Under CEO Vaughn's leadership, we are concerned that the Company has failed to fully consider all transactions that could unlock shareholder value. During our interactions with the Board and management, we offered several suggestions to improve shareholder value – including refreshing the Board, separating the Chair and CEO roles, increasing share repurchases, exploring a sale-leaseback and evaluating divestitures of certain businesses. To us, the Board did not appear to meaningfully consider any of our suggestions.

We believe this disregard for shareholder input has been allowed to persist given the inherent conflict of interest of CEO Vaughn serving as both Chair and CEO. We strongly believe that separation of the Chair and CEO roles is in accordance with best corporate governance practices. Indeed, the Board's primary job is to supervise and evaluate the CEO – this role necessarily becomes more difficult, if not impossible, to faithfully and adequately fulfill when the CEO also leads the boardroom.

It has become clear to us that the current directors are more concerned about maintaining CEO Vaughn's and their positions under the status quo, than actively engaging with or providing value to shareholders.

***The Path Forward***

 ****

While the current directors may claim that they are committed to Board refreshment and are "proactively" aligning themselves with shareholder interests – the facts prove otherwise. Even though the Company, in its proxy materials, touts that it has added six new directors since 2019 (five of which are independent), it fails to highlight that it only did so in apparent response to shareholder activist pressure. Genesco has now been the recipient of an activist challenge three times since 2018.<sup>10</sup> While this pressure has resulted in some piecemeal refreshment, this has ultimately failed to translate to improved shareholder value.

In light of the issues we have summarized above and our unsuccessful attempts to engage constructively with the Board to enact what we view as much-needed change, we have nominated two independent, highly qualified director candidates to Genesco's Board.

The upcoming Annual Meeting will give shareholders the opportunity to hold a referendum on Ms. Vaughn's tenure as CEO and hold the incumbent Board accountable for its failure to adequately oversee management. Shareholders will be able to elect two new, independent and qualified directors – Westervelt T. Ballard, Jr. and Paula J. Poskon – who we believe will bring the necessary fresh perspectives, financial experience and independent viewpoints that we believe is required to rebuild value and investor faith at Genesco.

While we acknowledge that, as a minority of the Board if elected, there is no guarantee that the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will be able to execute measures that they believe are necessary to maximize shareholder value, we strongly believe that shareholders cannot afford to allow the status quo to persist. With the election of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees, shareholders can hold CEO Vaughn and the incumbent directors accountable for years of value destruction and send a clear mandate for change.

<sup>10</sup> Legion Partners Asset Management, LLC also initiated campaigns at Genesco in 2018 and 2021 that resulted in boardroom and other changes at the Company.

**PROPOSAL 1**

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

The Board is currently composed of nine (9) directors, each with a term expiring at the Annual Meeting. We are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our two (2) Radoff-Jumana Nominees, Westervelt (Westy) T. Ballard, Jr. and Paula J. Poskon, for terms ending at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2027 Annual Meeting"). Your vote to elect the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing two (2) incumbent directors of the Company with the Radoff-Jumana Nominees. If elected, the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will constitute a minority of the Board and there can be no guarantee that the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will be able to implement the actions that they believe are necessary to unlock shareholder value. However, we believe the election of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees is an important step in the right direction for enhancing value at the Company.

This Proxy Statement is soliciting proxies to elect not only our two (2) Radoff-Jumana Nominees, but also the seven (7) Unopposed Company Nominees. We have provided the required notice to the Company pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, and we intend to solicit the holders of Common Stock representing at least 67% of the voting power of Common Stock entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees. There is no assurance that any of the Company's nominees will serve as a director if any of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees are elected to the Board. You should refer to the Company's proxy statement for the names, backgrounds, qualifications and other information concerning the Company's nominees.

**THE RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES**

The following information sets forth the name, age, business address, present principal occupation, and employment and material occupations, positions, offices or employments for the past five (5) years of each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees. The nominations were made in a timely manner and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Company's governing instruments. The specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led us to conclude that the Radoff-Jumana Nominees should serve as directors of the Company are set forth above in the section entitled "REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION" and below. This information has been furnished to us by the Radoff-Jumana Nominees. All of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees are citizens of the United States of America.

**Westervelt (Westy) T. Ballard, Jr.**, age 54, currently serves as the Principal of Vallamar LLC, a principal investment platform across public and private businesses, since December 2025. Previously, Mr. Ballard served as President, CEO and a member of the board of directors of Stabilis Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLNG), an energy transition company providing turnkey, small-scale liquefied natural gas production, distribution, and fueling services, from August 2021 to January 2025. Prior to that, Mr. Ballard served in various roles of increasing seniority during his 14-year tenure at Superior Energy Services, Inc. ("Superior Energy Services") (formerly NYSE: SPN), a diversified provider of rental equipment, manufactured products, and engineered and specialized services to the global energy industry, including as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Superior Energy Services, Inc., from 2018 to March 2021, as Operations Executive Vice President of International Services, where he was responsible for strategic and commercial direction, capital allocation, operations, safety, and financial and administrative functions for a diversified portfolio of business lines, from 2012 to 2018, and VP of Corporate Development, M&A, where he was responsible for sourcing, evaluating and executing acquisitions and strategic investments globally, from 2007 to 2012. Mr. Ballard previously served in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantry Officer and attained the rank of Company Commander (Captain). Mr. Ballard earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia.

We believe that Mr. Ballard's extensive leadership experience in global operations, capital allocation, and strategic development, together with his financial expertise and public company executive and board service experience, would make him a valuable addition to the Board.

**Paula J. Poskon**, age 61, is the Founder and President of STOV Advisory Services LLC ("STOV"), a provider of professional consulting and advisory services to company executives and institutional investors in the areas of real estate, capital markets, investor relations, and diversity and inclusion, since 2016. Ms. Poskon previously served as Senior Vice President/Senior Real Estate Research Analyst at D.A. Davidson & Co., Inc., an employee-owned full-service investment firm, from 2014 to 2015. Prior to that, Ms. Poskon was a Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst in Real Estate at Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc., an employee-owned wealth management, capital markets, asset management and private equity firm, from 2005 to 2014. Earlier in her career, Ms. Poskon was an Equity Research Associate, Asset Management Associate and Investment Banking Associate at Lehman Brothers, a global financial services firm, from 2000 to 2005. Ms. Poskon has served on the board of directors of Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CDRpB and CDRpC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ: WHLR) ("Wheeler"), since August 2022. Ms. Poskon previously served on the board of directors of Wheeler from December 2019 to June 2022.

Ms. Poskon received a M.B.A. in Finance with a concentration in Strategic Management and a B.S. in Economics with a concentration in Accounting from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

We believe that Ms. Poskon's nearly 25 years of capital markets experience in equity research and investment banking, together with her corporate governance and public company board experience, make her well-qualified to serve as a director on the Board.

The principal business address of Mr. Ballard is 2027 Quenby Street, Houston, Texas 77005. The principal business address of Ms. Poskon is 12372 Lima Lane, Reston, Virginia 20191.

As of the date hereof, none of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees beneficially own any securities of the Company nor have they entered into any transactions in the securities of the Company during the past two years.

Each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees may be deemed to be a member of a "group" with the other Participants for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and such group may be deemed to beneficially own the 966,479 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned in the aggregate by all of the Participants. For information regarding transactions in securities of the Company during the past two years by the Participants, please see <u>Schedule I</u>. Each Participant disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock that he, she or it does not directly own.

Mr. Radoff, Jumana and the Radoff-Jumana Nominees entered into an amended and restated group agreement on April 24, 2026, as amended on June 8, 2026 (the "Group Agreement") in connection with the Annual Meeting pursuant to which, among other things, (i) that certain group agreement, dated April 15, 2026, between Mr. Radoff and Jumana was superseded in its entirety, (ii) the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Company to the extent required by applicable law, (iii) the parties agreed to solicit proxies for the election of certain persons nominated for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting (including those nominated by or on behalf of Mr. Radoff or Jumana), (iv) the parties agreed not to (a) buy, or increase any beneficial ownership over, any securities of the Company if, as a result of such action, the group would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) sell, or dispose of any beneficial ownership over, any securities of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting, without the prior written consent of Mr. Radoff and Jumana; and further, each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees agreed not to undertake or effect any purchase, sale, acquisition or disposition of any securities of the Company without the prior written consent of Mr. Radoff and Jumana, and (v) Mr. Radoff and Jumana agreed to jointly pay all expenses and costs (including all legal fees) incurred in connection with the group's activities, with each such party paying 50% of the expenses.

Each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees has granted Mr. Radoff a power of attorney to execute certain SEC filings and other documents in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the Company's shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting and any related transactions.

The Radoff-Jumana Group believes that each Radoff-Jumana Nominee presently is, and if elected as a director of the Company, each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees would qualify as, an "independent director" within the meaning of (i) applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards applicable to board composition and (ii) Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Radoff-Jumana Group acknowledges that no director of a NYSE listed company qualifies as "independent" under the NYSE listing standards unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that such director is independent under such standards. Accordingly, the Radoff-Jumana Group acknowledges that if any Radoff-Jumana Nominee is elected, the determination of such Radoff-Jumana Nominee's independence under the NYSE listing standards ultimately rests with the judgment and discretion of the Board. No Radoff-Jumana Nominee is a member of the Company's compensation, nominating or audit committee that is not independent under any such committee's applicable independence standards.

Mr. Ballard previously served in several roles, including as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, at Superior Energy Services (formerly NYSE: SPN) and he resigned from such roles in March 2021. Superior Energy Services filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2020 and emerged from bankruptcy in February 2021 following a financial restructuring.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Proxy Statement (including the Schedules hereto), (i) during the past 10 years, no Radoff-Jumana Nominee has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (ii) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee directly or indirectly beneficially owns any securities of the Company; (iii) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee owns any securities of the Company which are owned of record but not beneficially; (iv) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee has purchased or sold any securities of the Company during the past two years; (v) no part of the purchase price or market value of the securities of the Company owned by any Radoff-Jumana Nominee is represented by funds borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring or holding such securities; (vi) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee is, or within the past year was, a party to any contract, arrangements or understandings with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies; (vii) no associate of any Radoff-Jumana Nominee owns beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company; (viii) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee owns beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of any parent or subsidiary of the Company; (ix) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee or any of his or her associates or immediate family members was a party to any transaction, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year, or is a party to any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000; (x) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee or any of his or her associates has any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any future employment by the Company or its affiliates, or with respect to any future transactions to which the Company or any of its affiliates will or may be a party; (xi) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee has a substantial interest, direct or indirect, by securities holdings or otherwise in any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting; (xii) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee holds any positions or offices with the Company; (xiii) no Radoff-Jumana Nominee has a family relationship with any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer, (xiv) no companies or organizations, with which any of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees has been employed in the past five years, is a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company and (xv) there are no material proceedings to which any Radoff-Jumana Nominee or any of his or her associates is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Except as disclosed herein, with respect to each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees, (a) none of the events enumerated in Item 401(f)(1)-(8) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act ("Regulation S-K") occurred during the past 10 years, (b) there are no relationships involving any Radoff-Jumana Nominee or any of such Radoff-Jumana Nominee's associates that would have required disclosure under Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K had such Radoff-Jumana Nominee been a director of the Company, and (c) none of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees nor any of their associates has received any fees earned or paid in cash, stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive plan compensation, changes in pension value or nonqualified deferred compensation earnings or any other compensation from the Company during the Company's last completed fiscal year, or was subject to any other compensation arrangement described in Item 402 of Regulation S-K.

Other than as stated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between or among the Radoff-Jumana Group, the Radoff-Jumana Nominees, or any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees described herein is to be made, other than the consent by each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees to be named as a nominee of Mr. Radoff in any proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the Annual Meeting and to serving as a director of the Company if elected. None of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceeding.

We do not expect that any of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but, in the event any Radoff-Jumana Nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card will be voted for substitute nominee(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws or applicable law. In addition, we reserve the right to nominate substitute person(s) if the Company makes or announces any changes to the Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any Radoff-Jumana Nominee, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law. In any such case, we would identify and properly nominate such substitute nominee(s) in accordance with the Bylaws and the shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card will be voted for such substitute nominee(s). We reserve the right to nominate additional person(s), to the extent that is not prohibited under Genesco's organizational documents and applicable law, if the Company increases the size of the Board above its existing size.

The Radoff-Jumana Group and Genesco will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for election to the Board. Each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees has consented to being named as a nominee of Mr. Radoff in any proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the Annual Meeting and to serving as a director of the Company if elected. Shareholders will have the ability to vote for up to nine (9) nominees on the Radoff-Jumana Group's enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. Any shareholder who wishes to vote for any combination of the Company's nominees and the Radoff-Jumana Nominees may do so on the Radoff-Jumana Group's enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. **There is no need to use the Company's white proxy card or voting instruction form, regardless of how you wish to vote**. The Radoff-Jumana Group urges shareholders to vote using our **GOLD** universal proxy card **"FOR"** all of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and **"FOR"** the Unopposed Company Nominees.

Shareholders are permitted to vote for fewer than nine (9) nominees or for any combination (up to nine (9) total) of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Company's nominees on the **GOLD** universal proxy card. However, if shareholders choose to vote for any of the Company's nominees, we recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the Unopposed Company Nominees, who we believe are sufficiently qualified to serve as directors, to help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. Certain information about the Unopposed Company Nominees is set forth in the Company's proxy statement. The Radoff-Jumana Group is not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by or relating to Genesco or its nominees contained in any proxy solicitation materials filed or disseminated by, or on behalf of, Genesco or any other statements that Genesco or its representatives have made or may otherwise make.

**IF YOU MARK FEWER THAN NINE (9) "FOR" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, OUR GOLD UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD, WHEN DULY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED ONLY AS DIRECTED. IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED WITH RESPECT TO HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, THE PROXIES NAMED THEREIN WILL VOTE SUCH SHARES "FOR" THE TWO (2) RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES AND THE SEVEN (7) UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES.** 

**IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU MARK MORE THAN NINE (9) "FOR" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, ALL OF YOUR VOTES FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS WILL BE DEEMED INVALID**.

**WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF THE RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES ON THE ENCLOSED <u>GOLD</u> UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD.**

**PROPOSAL 2**

**ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, the U.S. Congress has enacted requirements commonly referred to as the "Say on Pay" rules. As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company seeks shareholders' non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, the accompanying tables and related narrative discussion contained in the Company's proxy statement.

According to the Company's proxy statement, the 2026 "Say on Pay" proposal gives you as a shareholder another opportunity to endorse or not endorse the compensation the Company paid to the named executive officers through the following resolution:

"RESOLVED: That the shareholders of Genesco Inc. approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section and related compensation tables, notes and narrative in the proxy statement for the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders."

As disclosed in the Company's proxy statement, because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board or the Company. However, the Company's proxy statement provides that the Board will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation for named executive officers. The current frequency of the non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of all named executive officers is annual.

Due to the Company's significant underperformance and inability to deliver shareholder value under CEO Vaughn's leadership, as more fully explained in the "Reasons for the Solicitation" section above, we do not believe that pay and performance are adequately aligned. Accordingly, we intend to vote AGAINST this proposal and recommend that our fellow stockholders do the same.

According to the Company's proxy statement, the executive compensation of the Company's named executive officers will be deemed approved if it receives a majority of the votes cast in favor of this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

**WE RECOMMEND THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "AGAINST" THE ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.**

**PROPOSAL 3**

**A PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE GENESCO INC.** 

**FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED 2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, in May 2026, the Board adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the Genesco Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, which is an amendment and restatement of the Third Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (as proposed to be amended and restated and referred to in this proxy statement, the "Amended Plan," and as currently in effect, the "Plan"). If approved by shareholders, the Amended Plan will be effective as of [●], 2026 (the "Effective Date").

According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of the Amended Plan will increase by 1,200,000 shares the total number of shares available for issuance as of the Effective Date to 1,623,147 shares (which includes the 1,200,000 additional shares and the 423,147 shares available for grant as of April 30, 2026, under the Plan), less any shares granted under the Plan after April 30, 2026 and prior to the Effective Date, deducted at the fungible ratio as described in the Company's proxy statement. In connection with the Amended Plan, no substantive changes have been made to the Plan with the exception of (i) replenishing the share reserve, (ii) revising the ratio at which full-value awards are debited from the share reserve, and (iii) clarifying that performance awards may be settled in cash, shares, or any combination thereof, as determined by the compensation committee in its sole discretion. For a further description of the material terms of the Amended Plan, see the "Summary of Material Features of the Amended Plan" section of the Company's proxy statement. A copy of the Amended Plan is also attached as <u>Appendix A</u> to the Company's proxy statement.

According to the Company's proxy statement, as of April 30, 2026, there were 423,147 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Annual PSU grants for Fiscal 2027 had not yet been made as of April 30, 2026 and will need to come out of the Plan's (or the Amended Plan's, as applicable) share reserve. According to the Company's proxy statement, if the Amended Plan is not approved by shareholders, the Plan will remain in effect.

According to the Company's proxy statement, the adoption of the Amended Plan will be deemed approved if it receives a majority of the votes cast in favor of this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

**WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED 2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES ["FOR/AGAINST"] THIS PROPOSAL.**

**PROPOSAL 4**

**RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, the audit committee of the Board is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements and its process of internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee conducts an annual evaluation of the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, performance and independence. According to the Company's proxy statement, on April 29, 2026, the audit committee approved the appointment of Deloitte to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027.

As disclosed in the Company's proxy statement, the audit committee and the Board believe that the retention of Deloitte to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and are submitting the appointment for shareholder ratification at the Annual Meeting. According to the Company's proxy statement, if shareholders do not ratify the firm's appointment, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee may in its discretion choose a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the fiscal year if it determines that such an action would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

According to the Company's proxy statement, the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if it receives a majority of the votes cast in favor of this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

**WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF DELOITTE AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.**

**VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES**

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders who sell their shares of Common Stock before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such shares of Common Stock. Shareholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell such shares of Common Stock after the Record Date. Based on publicly available information, the Radoff-Jumana Group believes that the only outstanding class of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed **GOLD** universal proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted **FOR** the election of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Unopposed Company Nominees, **AGAINST** the approval of the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, [**FOR**/**AGAINST]** the proposal to approve the Amended Plan and **FOR** the ratification of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's current fiscal year.

The Company has disclosed that nine (9) candidates will be elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting. We are soliciting proxies to elect not only the two (2) Radoff-Jumana Nominees, but also the seven (7) Unopposed Company Nominees. The Radoff-Jumana Group and Genesco will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for election to the Board. Shareholders will have the ability to vote for up to nine (9) nominees on the Radoff-Jumana Group's enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card. Any shareholder who wishes to vote for any combination of the Company's nominees and the Radoff-Jumana Nominees may do so on the Radoff-Jumana Group's **GOLD** universal proxy card. **There is no need to use the Company's white proxy card or voting instruction form, regardless of how you wish to vote**.

Shareholders are permitted to vote for fewer than nine (9) nominees or for any combination (up to nine (9) total) of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Company's nominees on the **GOLD** universal proxy card. However, if shareholders choose to vote for any of the Company's nominees, we recommend that shareholders vote in favor of only the Unopposed Company Nominees – who we believe are sufficiently qualified to serve as directors – to help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. We recommend that shareholders do not vote for any of the Company's nominees other than the Unopposed Company Nominees. Among other potential consequences, voting for Company nominees other than the Unopposed Company Nominees may result in the failure of one or more of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees to be elected to the Board.

We believe that voting on the **GOLD** universal proxy card provides the best opportunity for shareholders to elect all of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and achieve the best Board composition overall. The Radoff-Jumana Group therefore urges shareholders to use our **GOLD** universal proxy card to vote "**FOR**" the two (2) Radoff-Jumana Nominees and "**FOR**" the seven (7) Unopposed Company Nominees.

While we currently intend to vote all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares in favor of the election of each of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees and the Unopposed Company Nominees, we reserve the right to vote some or all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares as we see fit, in order to achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. We would only intend to vote some or all of the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares in a different manner than what we are otherwise recommending in the event it were to become apparent to us, based on the projected voting results at such time, that less than all of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees would be elected at the Annual Meeting and that by voting the Radoff-Jumana Group Shares in a different manner we could help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all shareholders. Shareholders should understand that all shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked.

**IF YOU MARK FEWER THAN NINE (9) "FOR" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, OUR GOLD UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD, WHEN DULY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED ONLY AS DIRECTED. IF THIS PROXY IS SIGNED AND NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED WITH RESPECT TO HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, THE PROXIES NAMED THEREIN WILL VOTE SUCH SHARES "FOR" THE RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES AND THE UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES. IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU MARK MORE THAN NINE (9) "FOR" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, ALL OF YOUR VOTES FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS WILL BE DEEMED INVALID.**

**VIRTUAL MEETING**

The Company has disclosed that the Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders, which will be held online via a live webcast at [____], where you will be able to vote electronically and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held. In order to attend the Annual Meeting, you must pre-register at [●] by [●] a.m. Central Time on [●], 2026.

After registering, shareholders will receive a confirmation email with a link and instructions for accessing the Annual Meeting. Requests to register to participate in the Annual Meeting must be received no later than [●] a.m. Central Time on [●], 2026.

According to the Company's proxy statement, if you do not have your **GOLD** proxy card, you may still register to attend the Annual Meeting by accessing [●], but you will need to provide proof of ownership of shares of Common Stock as of [●], 2026 during the registration process. Such proof of ownership may include your proxy card or a statement showing your ownership as of [●], 2026.

According to the Company's proxy statement, after you register, [●] will send you a reminder email prior to the Annual Meeting with a link and instructions for entering the Annual Meeting.

Although the Annual Meeting webcast will begin at [●] a.m. Central Time on [●], 2026, we encourage you to access the Annual Meeting site prior to the start time to allow ample time to log into the Annual Meeting webcast and test your computer system. Participants should ensure that they have a reliable Internet connection wherever they intend to participate in the Annual Meeting. The Company has disclosed that the Annual Meeting site will first be accessible to registered shareholders beginning at [●] a.m. Central Time on the day of the Annual Meeting. Please be sure to check in by [●] a.m. Central Time on [●], 2026, the day of the Annual Meeting to address any technical difficulties before the Annual Meeting live webcast begins.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed **GOLD** universal proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, or vote via the Internet or by telephone as instructed on the **GOLD** universal proxy card.

**QUORUM; BROKER NON-VOTES; DISCRETIONARY VOTING**

A quorum is the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that must be represented at a duly called meeting in person or by proxy in order to legally conduct business at the meeting. The presence, in person (online) or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock on the Record Date will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions will be counted for quorum purposes but not as votes cast FOR or AGAINST a matter. Accordingly, for all proposals, abstentions will not have any legal effect on whether a proposal is approved.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker will vote your shares pursuant to your instructions, and those shares will count in the determination of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner has discretionary authority to vote on "routine" matters brought before a shareholder meeting, but the beneficial owner of the shares fails to provide the broker with specific instructions on how to vote on any "non-routine" matters brought to a vote at the shareholder meeting. Under the rules governing brokers' discretionary authority, if a shareholder receives proxy materials from or on behalf of both us and the Company, then brokers holding shares in such shareholder's account will not be permitted to exercise discretionary authority regarding any of the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, whether "routine" or not. As a result, there would be no broker non-votes by such brokers. In such case, if you do not submit any voting instructions to your broker, then your shares will not be counted in determining the outcome of any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting, nor will your shares be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. However, if you receive proxy materials only from the Company, then brokers will be entitled to vote your shares on "routine" matters without instructions from you. The only proposal that would be considered "routine" in such event is Proposal 4 (ratification of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm). A broker will not be entitled to vote your shares on any "non-routine" matters, absent instructions from you. We urge you to instruct your broker about how you wish your shares to be voted.

**VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL**

*Election of Directors* – According to the Company's proxy statement, as a result of our nomination of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees, the election of directors to the Board at the Annual Meeting is a "contested election" as defined under the Bylaws and directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Accordingly, the nine (9) director nominees receiving the highest number of FOR votes will be elected as directors. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any legal effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

*Advisory Vote on Compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers* – According to the Company's proxy statement, the executive compensation of the Company's named executive officers will be deemed approved if it receives a majority of the votes cast in favor of this proposal. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any legal effect on whether this proposal is approved.

*Approval of the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan* – According to the Company's proxy statement, the proposal to approve the Company's Amended Plan will be approved if it receives a majority of the votes cast in favor of this proposal. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any legal effect on whether this proposal is approved.

*Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm* ─ According to the Company's proxy statement, the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if it receives a majority of the votes cast in favor of this proposal. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any legal effect on whether this proposal is approved.

Under applicable Tennessee law, none of the holders of Common Stock is entitled to appraisal rights in connection with any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and submit your **GOLD** universal proxy card without specifying how you would like your shares voted, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Radoff-Jumana Group's recommendations specified therein and in accordance with the discretion of the persons named on the **GOLD** universal proxy card with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

**REVOCATION OF PROXIES**

Shareholders of the Company may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy) or by delivering a written notice of revocation. The delivery of a written revocation or a subsequently dated proxy which is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to the Radoff-Jumana Group in care of Saratoga at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement or to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal executive offices located at 535 Marriott Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37214, or any other address provided by the Company. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Company, we request that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to the Radoff-Jumana Group in care of Saratoga at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement so that we will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, Saratoga may use this information to contact shareholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies for the election of the Radoff-Jumana Nominees.

**IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE RADOFF-JUMANA NOMINEES TO THE BOARD, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN PROMPTLY THE ENCLOSED GOLD UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.**

**SOLICITATION OF PROXIES**

The solicitation of proxies pursuant to this Proxy Statement is being made by the Radoff-Jumana Group. Proxies may be solicited by mail, facsimile, telephone, Internet, in person and by advertisements.

The Radoff-Jumana Group has entered into an agreement with Saratoga for solicitation and advisory services in connection with this solicitation, for which Saratoga will receive a fee not to exceed $[●], together with reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws. The Radoff-Jumana Group will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. The Radoff-Jumana Group has requested banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock they hold of record. The Radoff-Jumana Group will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing. In addition, directors, officers, members and certain other employees of the members of the Radoff-Jumana Group may solicit proxies as part of their duties in the normal course of their employment without any additional compensation. The Radoff-Jumana Nominees may make solicitations of proxies but, except as described herein, will not receive compensation for acting as director nominees. It is anticipated that Saratoga will employ approximately [●] persons to solicit shareholders for the Annual Meeting.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies is being borne by the Radoff-Jumana Group. Costs of this solicitation of proxies are currently estimated to be approximately $[●] (including, but not limited to, fees for attorneys, solicitors and other advisors, and other costs incidental to the solicitation). The Radoff-Jumana Group estimates that through the date hereof its expenses in connection with this solicitation are approximately $[●]. To the extent legally permissible, if the Radoff-Jumana Group is successful in its proxy solicitation, the Radoff-Jumana Group intends to seek reimbursement from the Company for the expenses it incurs in connection with this solicitation. The Radoff-Jumana Group does not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of security holders of the Company.
