#### Item 5.02 Departure of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 27, 2023, Michael M. Lynton notified the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The Boston Beer Company, Inc.

A search is underway to fill the independent Class B Director vacancy resulting from Mr. Lynton's decision. Once a nominee has been identified, the Company will share information about Mr. Lynton's successor.
