 *Letter to our Shareholders from our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Non-Executive Chairman of the Board* 

December 22, 2025

 *Dear Fellow Shareholders,* 

You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Edgewell Personal Care Company to be held on February 5, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time at the Company's offices located at 780 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

#### Fiscal 2025 Accomplishments
In fiscal 2025, we delivered strong results in key areas of our business: our international markets continued to expand, innovation gained traction across our portfolio, and our supply chain optimization efforts drove meaningful savings. We also made decisive, transformational choices that we believe fundamentally repositioned Edgewell for long-term value creation. By streamlining our portfolio and simplifying our U.S. commercial organization, we have sharpened our focus on the categories and brands where we hold clear competitive advantages.

The year also presented challenges, both externally and internally, as we navigated tariffs, foreign exchange volatility, geopolitical tensions, and consumer uncertainty, all of which impacted our financial performance and stressed our global supply chain. We experienced weaker-than-expected Sun Care seasons in North America and parts of Latin America, and a slower-than-expected recovery in Feminine Care.

As announced during our earnings call in November, we have made the decision to divest our Feminine Care business, with an anticipated closing in the first calendar quarter of 2026. This strategic divestiture is a key step forward as we continue to transform Edgewell into a more focused, agile, and consumer-driven personal care company. We believe that by focusing our attention and resources on the categories where we have clear competitive advantages and strong momentum — Shave, Sun and Skin Care, and Grooming — we are positioning Edgewell to deliver sustainable growth, stronger margins, and long-term value for our shareholders. Together with the changes we have made to our U.S. commercial organization, including elevating our talent pool, we are actively strengthening our portfolio and building a better and more durable business.

In the U.S., we have initiated a bold transformation aimed at returning the business to profitable, sustained top-line growth over time. In the last year we conducted a thorough strategic review and identified core strengths as well as key areas that have hindered performance. Our category positions are structurally attractive — we are a leader in Sun Care, a fast-growing upstart in men's Grooming and have a unique branded and private label position in Shave. Our brands have established solid awareness and are backed by robust product delivery capabilities. We have strong technical know-how and capabilities with owned assets and a deep R&D bench. We continue to run the business with a commitment to discipline across operations, cost management, and capital deployment.

While fiscal 2025 was a year of both challenge and transformation, we exited the year with real momentum — our strongest sales quarter in nearly two years, with improving market share trends, and a revitalized brand portfolio. We've reshaped our structure, sharpened our strategy, and built a foundation for growth. As we enter fiscal 2026, we're focused on execution, margin recovery, and delivering sustainable shareholder value.

#### Looking Ahead
For fiscal 2026, we believe we have developed a balanced and achievable plan, underpinned by continued strong performance in our international markets and further productivity savings. These efforts are expected to fuel both investment in our brands and adjusted gross margin accretion. At the same time, we are focusing on stabilizing our North

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

America business, even as we anticipate that the macro environment will remain challenging, with muted category growth and the consumer continuing to be cautious around discretionary spending.

In North America, we believe that fiscal 2026 will be a year of transition and foundation-building for longer-term growth. We expect to begin realizing the benefits of our ongoing initiatives through the stabilization of our North America business, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for renewed growth in 2027 and beyond.

We are confident in our North America team's ability to transform our business, supported by their commitment to addressing key areas of opportunity outlined below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.

We are recommitting to our Shave business where we have a differentiated position across branded and private label, underpinned by solid brand awareness and excellent product performance. While we recognize that it will take time to rebuild distribution and share, our immediate focus is to begin stabilizing performance and setting the foundation for future growth. In fiscal 2026, we plan to further optimize our North America Shave business and manufacturing footprint — streamlining operations, reducing duplication, and unlocking working capital. By investing in blade excellence, and embracing next-generation automation and digital tools, we are building a more agile, resilient, and customer-focused supply chain. These actions are designed to enable faster responses to consumer demand, drive innovation, and position us for sustained margin improvement. Importantly, we believe these operational enhancements will not only deliver meaningful productivity savings but also support reinvestment in our core brands and innovation pipeline — strengthening our leadership in a highly competitive market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.

We are taking decisive action to increase investment behind our 5 focus brands — Schick<sup>®</sup>, Billie<sup>®</sup>, Hawaiian Tropic<sup>®</sup>, Banana Boat<sup>®</sup> and Cremo<sup>®</sup>. By shifting our strategy toward sustained brand building and a balanced marketing mix, we are committed to restoring brand equity, driving deeper consumer engagement, and positioning our portfolio for durable growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.

We have simplified our structure in the U.S. to support faster decisions, greater investment in growth capabilities, and increased ownership and accountability. We've implemented a significant organizational redesign by launching a streamlined U.S. commercial organization, bringing together a new talented, proven leadership team and we are ramping up new teams dedicated to improving our capabilities in insights and analytics, brand building, and revenue growth management.

As we look ahead to fiscal 2026, Edgewell is committed to executing a disciplined roadmap designed to deliver sustainable improvement and long-term value. With the focused actions we are taking, we are confident in our ability to navigate a dynamic environment and position Edgewell for renewed growth and enhanced shareholder returns.

We would also like to recognize director James C. Johnson and thank him for his years of service and the contributions he has made to the Company, and we wish him the best in the future.

We encourage you to review this Proxy Statement to learn more about the Board, our governance practices, compensation programs and philosophy, and other important developments and priorities at Edgewell. Your vote at the Annual Meeting is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote as soon as possible. There are several ways to vote prior to the Annual Meeting. You can vote online or by phone by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy, or you can complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy in the envelope provided.

### Key Skills Details

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_leadership-pn.jpg]](ic_leadership-pn.jpg)  | **LEADERSHIP**<br> Executive leaders have an understanding of organizations and the drivers of individual and team growth and development. Directors with experience serving as a CEO or senior executive enhance the Board's perspective of our Company's operations and challenges. They understand strategy, productivity, and risk management, and how these factors impact the Company's operations and controls. Further, their own significant leadership skills and experiences enable them to help identify and develop other successful leaders.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_extensive-pn.jpg]](ic_extensive-pn.jpg)  | **EXTENSIVE INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE**<br> The categories in which we operate are largely mature and highly competitive, both in the U.S. and globally, as a number of companies compete for consumer acceptance, limited retail shelf space, and e-commerce opportunities. Directors with experience serving consumers, brand perceptions, and product performance and innovation, provide valuable insights to the Company. Based on their experience and tenure on our Board, our directors provide us with a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our business.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_international-pn.jpg]](ic_international-pn.jpg)  | **INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE**<br> We are a global company with a footprint in over 20 countries and our products are widely available in more than 50 countries. The quality of our Board's oversight and strategic guidance is enhanced by directors whose understanding of diverse business environments, economic conditions and cultures has been informed by service as a director or senior leader at one or more companies with international operations. Our directors bring valuable knowledge to the Company, including exposure to different cultural perspectives and practices, and provide critical insight in light of the Company's global scope and significant international revenues.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_operation-pn.jpg]](ic_operation-pn.jpg)  | **OPERATIONS**<br> Directors with "hands-on" experience developing and implementing operating plans and business strategies at companies with similarly sophisticated business operations have a practical understanding of how such companies operate in increasingly sophisticated and disruptive competitive environments. Our directors provide valuable insight and leadership into distribution, e-commerce, logistics, innovation, marketing, and sales for a global organization.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_commerce-pn.jpg]](ic_commerce-pn.jpg)  | **DIGITAL COMMERCE**<br> Our directors have significant knowledge of how to anticipate technological trends, generate disruptive innovation, and extend or create new business models. Further, our directors provide oversight into the selection and implementation of new technologies to leverage competitive strengths and give valuable insights related to the digital commerce sector that are relevant to our evolving strategy, business, and operations.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_strategy-pn.jpg]](ic_strategy-pn.jpg)  | **STRATEGY**<br> Because of the highly competitive environment in which we operate, our directors play a pivotal role in overseeing strategy, productivity, and risk management. Moreover, as we continue to identify and complete strategic acquisitions and divestitures and integrate acquired companies, directors with experience leading business value creation through acquisitions, divestitures, and other business transactions are invaluable.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_financial-pn.jpg]](ic_financial-pn.jpg)  | **FINANCIAL**<br> The Company's business is multifaceted and involves complex financial transactions in many countries and in many currencies. Directors with an understanding of accounting and financial reporting processes, particularly in large, global businesses, provide important oversight of our financial statements and strategy and financial reporting to investors and other stakeholders. Directors with proficiency in finance, capital allocation, and financial reporting processes gained from experience acting as, or actively supervising, a principal financial officer are essential for ensuring effective oversight of the Company's financial measures and processes.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_marketing-pn.jpg]](ic_marketing-pn.jpg)  | **MARKETING**<br> We depend on the continuing reputation and success of our brands. Directors with experience identifying, developing, and marketing new products, as well as identifying new areas for existing products which can positively impact the Company's operational results, are crucial to helping the Company understand and anticipate evolving marketing platforms and practices. Our directors oversee our brand strategy ensuring it aligns with the overall business objectives and values, while providing guidance on brand purpose, positioning, messaging, brand identity, creative platform, and in-market communications.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_governance-pn.jpg]](ic_governance-pn.jpg)  | **RISK/CORPORATE GOVERNANCE/CYBERSECURITY**<br> As a public company, our accounting, financial reporting, and information security functions are subject to a rigorous program of controls and procedures and our directors play an important role in oversight of our robust audit, enterprise risk management, and information security organizations. Directors with experience in these areas are critical to evaluating and providing effective oversight of our consolidated financial statements and financial reporting and our management of the risks inherent in our business operations. Likewise, as a Company deeply committed to our Purpose, Values and Behaviors, directors who are well-informed with respect to today's dynamic governance and ethics environment are crucial to our success. We believe our directors are suitably qualified to guide our Company through the challenges posed by the dynamic regulatory and geopolitical environments we operate in, guide in the execution of our strategic priorities, and provide effective oversight of management.  |

### Board and Committee Annual Self-Evaluation
Our Board believes that a self-evaluation process is important to its ongoing effectiveness. The following describes the process by which our Board carried out these self-evaluations over the past year:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Board, Committee and Peer<br>Self-Evaluation** | The self-evaluation process seeks individual director feedback on the Board and respective committee's roles and oversight responsibility, structure, relationship with management, meeting agendas, oversight of strategy and risk, and other related topics. Our Board self-assessment also includes an additional opportunity for directors to provide specific feedback on their peers in the form of narrative disclosure to facilitate director performance. Our Corporate Governance Committee oversees the content and process of the self- and peer-evaluations. |
| **Discussion of Results** | Our Non-Executive Chairman of the Board and the Chairs of each committee present the results of the self-evaluation to our Board and their respective committees. |
| **Incorporation of Feedback** | Our Board and committees assess progress in the areas targeted for improvement from the prior evaluation and develop action plans aimed at enhancing our Board's and committees' effectiveness over the next year. Items requiring follow-up are monitored on an ongoing basis by our Board and committees. |

#### Codes of Conduct
The Company has a Code of Conduct that applies to all Edgewell employees and sets forth the fundamental principles and some of the key policies and procedures that govern our business. The Company also has a Board of Directors Code of Conduct (together with the Code of Conduct, the "Codes of Conduct") which sets forth similar provisions as applicable for directors. The Code of Conduct is reviewed each year for appropriate updates, and employees are asked to annually certify their understanding of, and compliance with, its requirements. As an integral part of our continuing efforts to maintain the highest standards of conduct, and because of the important role that each employee plays in our Ethics and Compliance Program, each year employees participate in mandatory compliance training meant to cover key components of the Code of Conduct and other relevant compliance topics related to our Company.

Moreover, at least annually, the Audit Committee reviews the Code of Conduct to ensure that it reflects the highest ethical principles and standards. The Code of Conduct, which is firmly rooted in our Purpose, Values and Behaviors, is made available to employees in 10 different languages. The Codes of Conduct can be found on the Company's website at www.edgewell.com (information on the Company's website is not incorporated by reference herein).

Edgewell's commitment to responsible business practices extends beyond the expectations outlined in our internal Code of Conduct — it also extends to all third parties that Edgewell does business with. Our Supplier Code of Conduct ("SCoC") is provided to, and applies to, all third parties that produce goods for or provide materials, goods, and/or services to Edgewell. Our SCoC reflects the core values held by Edgewell to conduct business in an ethical, legal, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible manner, and sets forth the basic and minimum expectations that all third parties must meet in order to do business with Edgewell.

#### Sustainable Care 2030
Edgewell's Sustainable Care 2030 strategy currently provides a roadmap for delivering on our ambitions and guides us in our aim to be a successful and responsible business not just today, but for generations to come.

**Brands**: Innovating products and packaging; championing values of inclusion and belonging; and using our brands as a catalyst for good.

**Operations and Supply Chain**: Reducing our environmental footprint with a focus on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy, waste, and water; responsibly sourcing materials; and engaging suppliers on ethical and sustainable practices.

**People and Communities**: Living our values and uplifting teammates, customers, consumers, suppliers, and communities.

Our Board is directly engaged in overseeing our climate, ethical and responsible sourcing, and human capital practices, among other topics. This is then embedded across the global organization, fueling a continued focus on our performance.

You can read more about our progress within each of these pillars and toward our commitments in our Fiscal Year 2024 Sustainability Report, which is available on our website, <u>www.edgewell.com/SustainabilityReport</u>.

#### Director Independence
Edgewell's Corporate Governance Principles define our standards for director independence and reflect applicable NYSE and SEC requirements. For a director to be "independent," they must not have a material relationship with the Company, as reviewed by the Corporate Governance Committee and determined by the Board.

Director affiliations and transactions are regularly reviewed to ensure that there are no conflicts or relationships with our Company that might impair a director's independence. Every year, we submit a questionnaire to each director and executive officer, in addition to conducting our own internal review, for the purpose of identifying certain potentially material transactions or relationships between each director, or any member of their immediate family, and our Company, our senior management and our independent auditor.

The Corporate Governance Committee completed its annual assessment in November 2025 regarding the independence of each director and made recommendations to the Board. Consistent with the standards described above, the Board has reviewed all relationships between the Company and each director and director nominee and considered all relevant quantitative and qualitative criteria. Our Board also determined that no arrangement or understanding exists between any director or executive officer of our Company and any other person pursuant to which any of them were selected as a director or executive officer. The Board has affirmatively determined that, other than Mr. Little who serves as our President and CEO, all current directors are currently independent. In addition, the Board affirmatively determined that all

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

of the directors who currently serve on the Audit Committee and the HC&CC are independent as required by the heightened NYSE and SEC criteria referenced above.

#### Director Nominations
The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending candidates for election to our Board, consistent with the requirements for membership set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles. Historically, when vacancies have occurred, or when our Board determined that increasing its size was appropriate, candidates have been recommended by other Board members or our CEO, or the Board has engaged the services of a recruitment firm to assist with conducting a search. In evaluating potential director candidates, the Corporate Governance Committee considers, among other factors, the criteria in the Key Skills and Experience matrix for current directors and certain additional characteristics that it believes one or more directors should possess based on an assessment of the needs of the Board at that time. The priorities for recruiting new directors are continually evolving based on the Company's strategic needs. It is important that the Board remains a strategic asset capable of overseeing and helping management address the risks, trends, and opportunities facing our Company now and in the future. The Corporate Governance Committee continues to plan for the future as it considers the skills and experience the Board will need upon anticipated director retirements and as our business continues to evolve.

The Corporate Governance Committee expects a high level of commitment from Board members and evaluates each candidate's leadership and experience, skills, expertise, and character traits, including the candidate's ability to devote sufficient time to Board and committee meetings in light of other professional commitments. The Corporate Governance Committee also reviews whether a potential candidate meets Board and/or committee membership requirements, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles, determines whether a potential candidate is independent according to our Board's established criteria, and evaluates the potential for a conflict of interest between the director and our Company.

Our commitment to an inclusive workplace begins with setting the tone from the top, starting with our Board. The Company values the benefits that unique perspectives bring to our Board and believes that these differences promote the sharing of different experiences, ideas, improves oversight, decision-making and governance, and provides a competitive advantage. At all times, the Company seeks to maintain a Board comprised of talented and dedicated directors with a mix of experience, skills and backgrounds collectively reflecting the strategic needs of the business and the nature of the environment in which the Company operates. The Corporate Governance Committee is entrusted with the responsibility of assessing Board composition and identifying, evaluating, and selecting candidates for Board membership. When recruiting new directors for appointment or selecting directors for re-election to the Board, the Corporate Governance Committee is committed to using objective and other individual criteria that would bring a unique and valuable perspective to the Board. All Board appointments must collectively reflect the nature of the global business environment in which the organization operates and be made on merit, in the context of the skills, experience, independence and knowledge which the Board requires to be effective.

Under our bylaws, shareholders may also nominate candidates for election at an annual meeting of shareholders. See "Shareholder Proposals for the 2027 Annual Meeting" for details regarding the procedures and timing for the submission of such nominations. Director nominees submitted through this process will be eligible for election at the annual meeting but will not be included in our Company's proxy materials prepared for the meeting. Shareholders may recommend individuals to the Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Edgewell Personal Care Company, 6 Research Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

#### Board Leadership Structure
Our Board exercises its discretion in combining or separating the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer as it deems appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. We believe that we, like many U.S. companies, are well-served by a flexible leadership structure. Currently, the roles are separated, with Mr. Hunter serving as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board and Mr. Little serving as President and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board has determined that separating the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is best for our Company and its shareholders at this time because it allows Mr. Little to focus on the day-to-day operation of our business and allows Mr. Hunter to focus on Board-related matters. However, our Board will continue to consider whether the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated at any given time as part of our succession planning process.

Our Corporate Governance Principles provide that, if our Chairman of the Board is an employee director, it is desirable to designate a Lead Independent Director of the Board, who shall serve as a liaison on Board-related issues between the

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Chairman and the independent directors and perform such other functions as the Board may direct. We currently do not have a Lead Independent Director as our Chairman is not an employee of the Company and qualifies as an independent director.

The Board's role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company's leadership structure, with management having day-to-day responsibility for assessing and managing the Company's risk exposure and the Board and its committees providing oversight in connection with those efforts, with particular focus on the most significant risks facing the Company.

#### Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines
In order to help align the financial interests of our non-employee directors with those of our shareholders, our Corporate Governance Principles provide that our non-employee directors must maintain ownership of our common stock with a value of at least five times the director's annual base retainer. New directors are given a period of five years to satisfy these requirements. The Company recognizes that there may be instances when these guidelines would place an undue hardship on a non-management director. The Chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee may, in their discretion, determine the appropriate hardship relief, if any, for non-compliance with our stock ownership guidelines, including, but not limited to, allowing individuals additional time to gain or regain compliance and suspending ownership or retention requirements in the event of extreme volatility in the Company's common stock price. The Corporate Governance Committee may modify or amend the stock ownership guidelines in its discretion.

The Corporate Governance Committee reviews our non-employee director stock ownership guidelines and ownership levels each year to ensure compliance with the provisions of our Corporate Governance Principles. As of September 30, 2025, each of our Directors with five years or more of service were in compliance with these guidelines; however, as of September 30, 2025, Carla Hendra and Swan Sit were no longer in compliance solely due to fluctuations in our stock price.

For purposes of these determinations, stock ownership includes shares of our common stock which are owned directly or by family members residing with the director, or by family trusts, as well as vested and deferred restricted stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock equivalents, unless they are subject to achievement of performance targets, and common stock or stock equivalents credited to a director under our savings investment plan or our deferred compensation plan.

#### Communicating with our Board
We have established several means for shareholders or other interested parties to communicate their concerns to our Board, the independent directors, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board or, if applicable, specified individual directors. If the concern relates to our financial statements, accounting practices or internal controls, the concern should be submitted in writing to the chair of our Audit Committee, in care of our Corporate Secretary at our headquarters address, 6 Research Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484 or via email to <u>investor.relations@edgewell.com</u>. If the concern relates to our governance practices, business ethics or corporate conduct, the concern may be submitted in writing to the chair of our Corporate Governance Committee, in care of our Corporate Secretary at our headquarters or the above email address. If the shareholder or other interested party is unsure as to which category his or her concern relates or if otherwise preferred, he or she may communicate it to any one of our directors or the independent directors as a group in care of our Corporate Secretary at our headquarters or the above email address. Our Corporate Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from shareholders or other interested parties and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as she considers appropriate. Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Corporate Secretary and Chairman of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Our "whistleblower" policy prohibits our Company or any of our employees from retaliating or taking any adverse action against anyone for raising a concern. If a shareholder or employee nonetheless prefers to raise his or her concern in a confidential or anonymous manner, he or she may call Navex Global's EthicsPoint hotline, our external service provider, toll-free at 855-405-6557, or by leaving a message at our confidential web address: <u>www.edgewell.ethicspoint.com</u>.

#### NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We provided several elements of compensation to our directors for service on our Board during fiscal 2025 as shown in the table below. The Corporate Governance Committee, which makes recommendations to the full Board regarding director compensation, strives to set director compensation at the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile of the peer group. This peer group, which can be found under "Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Benchmarking," has been selected for purposes of evaluating our executive compensation based on market data provided by the independent consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian"). Following discussion and consultation with Meridian, in October 2024, the Board approved a $5,000 increase to the annual retainer amount and a $15,000 increase to the annual RSE amount to better align non-executive director compensation the average total compensation with the peer median.

#### AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of Edgewell's Board of Directors assists the Board in its oversight of corporate governance by overseeing the quality and integrity of Edgewell's accounting, auditing, and reporting practices. The Audit Committee operates in accordance with a written charter, which was adopted by the Board. A copy of that charter is available at Edgewell's Investor Relations site, http://ir.edgewell.com/, under "Corporate Governance." The Audit Committee consists entirely of non-employee directors that are independent for purposes of audit committee service, as required by the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Further, the Board has determined that Mr. Waring is an audit committee financial expert, as defined by SEC guidelines.

Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. Edgewell's independent accountants, PwC, are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the "PCAOB") and issuing a report thereon. The committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes on behalf of the Board.

The Audit Committee has oversight responsibilities for reviewing the services performed by PwC and retains sole authority to select, evaluate and replace the outside auditors. The Audit Committee is responsible for approval of the proposed audit fees and annually evaluates the qualifications, performance and independence of PwC and its lead audit partner. Further, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of the independent auditor's lead audit partner, the Audit Committee is directly involved in the selection of the new lead audit partner.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures from PwC required by the applicable standards of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed the independence of PwC with members of that firm. In doing so, the committee considered whether any non-audit services provided by PwC were compatible with its independence. The committee concluded that the independent auditors' independence has not been impaired. The Audit Committee selected PwC as the Company's independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2026. PwC has served as the Company's independent auditor since 2000, and fiscal year 2026 is the first year for the current lead partner. The Audit Committee considered several factors in selecting PwC, including the firm's independence and internal quality controls, the overall depth of talent, their experience with the Company's industry, their familiarity with the Company's business and internal control over financial reporting, as well as an evaluation of their past performance and the potential impact of changing independent auditors.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee meets regularly with management, internal audit, and PwC to discuss, prior to their release to the public, the Company's financial statements, and earnings releases and, as appropriate, other Company public communications containing Company financial information or performance measures. The Audit Committee's meetings with the Company's internal auditors and the independent auditor, which are both with and without management present, include discussions about the results of their examinations and evaluations of the quality of the Company's financial statements and the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. This review included a discussion of the quality and the acceptability of the Company's financial reporting and system of internal controls, including the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements, reasonableness of significant accruals, reserves and allowances, critical accounting policies and estimates, and risk assessment. With respect to the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, management of the Company has represented to the Audit Committee that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the Company's independent auditor the scope and plans for their audit, the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the independent auditor's judgments as to the quality and acceptability of the Company's financial reporting, PwC's discussion about critical audit matters in its report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates, the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and such other matters as are required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and SEC.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company's Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted,

Gary K. Waring, Chair

Robert W. Black

George R. Corbin

John C. Hunter

James C. Johnson

#### Fiscal 2025 Performance Highlights:
Our results in fiscal 2025 reflect a year where we delivered strong results across several important areas of our business — including international markets, innovation, and productivity.

However, the year also presented challenges. We navigated a complex environment marked by external pressures — including tariffs, exchange volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty — that impacted our financial performance and stressed our global supply chain. We faced other challenges, as well, including weaker-than-expected Sun Care seasons in North America and parts of Latin America, and a slower-than-expected recovery in our Feminine Care business.

We believe the following drivers demonstrate that this performance is durable and provides a solid foundation.

<u>Durable International Growth</u> 

Our international markets, which represent approximately 40% of our global sales, delivered strong growth for the fourth consecutive year, delivering organic growth of 3.5%, and increased market share across Shave and Sun Care.

<u>Compelling Innovation</u> 

We are committed to delivering consumer-led, locally designed innovation across our portfolio. In fiscal 2025, we expanded Billie to Australia; Bulldog entered premium skincare across Europe; in Japan we took Schick into premium skincare with the launch of Progista; and we broadened Cremo's range in the U.S. and Europe, driving significant sales growth. In Sun Care, we saw strong growth in Hawaiian Tropic as a result of a successful marketing campaign, updated formulations, and on-trend branding. We're seeing the benefits of these initiatives across markets, as approximately 70% of our measured markets in the quarter are now growing or holding market share, compared to less than 50% a year ago. We are implementing our learnings from Europe and Asia globally and are excited about our multi-year innovation roadmap.

<u>Supply Chain Productivity</u> 

In fiscal 2025, our team delivered over 270 basis points in gross margin savings. Building on our foundation of productivity, efficiency, and service, we are navigating tariffs and a dynamic global environment by working to reduce complexity, improve customer service, shorten lead times, and lower inventory across the value chain.

<u>Strategic Portfolio Shift through Feminine Care Divestiture</u> 

In November 2025, we signed an agreement to sell our Feminine Care business to Essity, a global hygiene and health company. This divestiture is a key step forward as we continue to transform Edgewell into a more focused, agile, and consumer-driven personal care company. We believe that by focusing our attention and resources on the categories where we have clear competitive advantages and strong momentum — Shave, Sun, and Skin care, and Grooming — we are positioning Edgewell to deliver sustainable growth, stronger margins, and long-term value for our shareholders. Once this transaction closes, the focus of Edgewell will be centered around Skin Care. Through hair removal, sun care, grooming, and hygiene, our core categories and brands are now keenly focused on taking care of our consumers' skin. The strategic levers don't end here — because of this sale, we anticipate having more resources to invest in our people and brands and expand our presence in core categories both organically and potentially via acquisitions.

We exited the year with real momentum — our strongest sales quarter in nearly two years, with improving market share trends, and a revitalized brand portfolio. We've reshaped our structure, sharpened our strategy, and built a foundation for growth. As we enter fiscal 2026, we're focused on execution, margin recovery, and delivering sustainable shareholder value. While fiscal 2025 was also a year of challenge and transformation, with both external and internal pressures impacting our results, we believe our momentum is durable.

#### How Pay Was Tied to our Company's Performance in Fiscal 2025
Our fiscal 2025 results and compensation decisions continue to illustrate the application of our pay-for-performance philosophy with pay being driven by performance in the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Fiscal 2025 Base Salary. In October 2024, base salaries for the NEOs were increased to ensure that compensation remains competitive with comparable positions at companies considered to be our peers, while continuing to emphasize pay-for-performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Fiscal 2025 Annual Incentive Payout. For the fiscal 2025 Executive Officer Bonus Program, the combined weighted payout for the NEOs was 66% of the target amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Fiscal 2025 Long-Term Incentive Payout. The performance metric for our fiscal 2022 PRSE award was relative total shareholder return (TSR). The performance period for these awards concluded at the end of fiscal 2025 and the total payout was 70.6% of target.

See Appendix A for reconciliation and other information about these non-GAAP financial measures.

#### Principles of the Edgewell Compensation Program
We believe one of the most important factors to the long-term success of Edgewell depends on the talents of our NEOs and the alignment of their compensation with the interests of the Company and our shareholders. Our ability to attract, retain, and motivate our NEOs is influenced in large part by our compensation program. We believe the design and implementation of our executive compensation program is effective in furthering our goal of becoming a best-in-class, next-generation CPG company. Annually, we review various aspects of our compensation program to ensure that it remains aligned with our business strategy and the following guiding principles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • A "pay-for-performance" culture, which drives achievement of Company-wide performance criteria during one- and three-year performance periods and, ultimately, shareholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • We strive to attract and retain strong executive leaders and to design total compensation packages which we believe will serve to retain key executives and remain competitive in attracting new employees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Alignment of our executive officers' interests with those of our shareholders by linking a significant portion of total compensation to shareholder value creation, with our executive leadership's performance outcome tied to our stock performance that is benchmarked against a selected peer group which we believe incentivizes sustained company performance as measured by operating results and total shareholder return.

Discussed below are the principles that underlie our compensation philosophy.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1**  | **Pay-for-Performance**  |

---

The primary goal of our executive compensation program is to instill a "pay-for-performance" culture throughout our organization, with a significant portion of targeted compensation for our NEOs dependent upon achievement of performance goals. Our compensation program is designed to motivate these leaders through incentive awards that are tied to key strategic objectives, operating results, and execution of significant initiatives. We believe this compensation structure offers high potential rewards for superior performance, and significantly lower compensation for results below target. The graphs below summarize the fiscal 2025 pay mix for each of our CEO and our other NEOs as a group. The percentages presented in the graphs are based on target annual compensation, not actual compensation.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2**  | **Competitive Total Compensation Packages**  |

---

We strive to attract and retain strong executive leaders, which we view as critical to the ongoing success of our operations. We target total compensation packages which we believe will serve to retain key executives and remain competitive in attracting new employees. Our executive compensation program also includes features to address other compensation-related issues such as retirement considerations, which we believe have played an important role in our executive compensation structure.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3**  | **Alignment with Shareholder Interests**  |

---

To align executive compensation with shareholder interests, a substantial portion of the NEOs' total compensation is at risk and delivered through short-term and long-term incentives.

### Corporate Governance Practices
Edgewell's executive compensation program is designed and continuously reviewed to highlight features and practices we believe drive performance, align with good governance principles, and reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and accountability. The following reflects both the practices we have implemented to incentivize pay-for-performance, as well as certain other practices we have not implemented because we do not believe they would serve our shareholders' long-term interests.

#### How We Make Executive Compensation Decisions
![[MISSING IMAGE: fc_wemake-pn.jpg]](fc_wemake-pn.jpg)

#### Compensation Benchmarking
Meridian, with direction from the HC&CC and input from management, develops a custom peer group of companies for benchmarking our executive compensation program. Peer companies are selected based on a variety of criteria, including consumer products businesses, businesses with a strong brand focus, competitors for executive talent, businesses similar to Edgewell in terms of revenues and market capitalization, and externally referenced peers from proxy advisory firms and reverse peers. At the time of approval in August 2024, Edgewell ranked near the median of our executive compensation peer group on revenue, market cap, and EBITDA. Each key component of compensation, including base salary, target annual bonus, target total cash compensation, and target grant date value of long-term incentives, is benchmarked against this custom peer group. The HC&CC retained Meridian after evaluating Meridian's independence pursuant to the requirements of NYSE and SEC rules and has determined that Meridian does not have any conflicts of interest in advising the HC&CC or the Corporate Governance Committee.

For fiscal 2025, Fossil Group, Inc., Tupperware Brands, and Post Holdings, Inc. were removed due either to size or performance considerations. e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. and Reynolds Consumer Products, Inc. were added based on appropriateness in terms of size and reasonableness in terms of business fit. The custom peer group of 16 companies approved by the HC&CC for fiscal 2025 was comprised of the following companies:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| ■ Church & Dwight Co., Inc.  | ■ Helen of Troy Limited | ■ Sleep Number Corporation |
| ■ Coty Inc. | ■ Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. | ■ Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.  |
| ■ Energizer Holdings, Inc. | ■ Oxford Industries, Inc. | ■ The Clorox Company |
| ■ e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. | ■ Prestige Consumer Healthcare, Inc.  | ■ The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. |
| ■ HanesBrands, Inc. | ■ Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. | ■ USANA Health Sciences |
| ■ Hasbro, Inc. |  |  |

#### Results of 2025 Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
Over the long term, shareholders have expressed support for our executive compensation program and its demonstrated linkage between pay and performance. Our 2025 Say-on-Pay proposal received support from 96.30% of the voting power represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. We believe this strong support is in part due to our continued engagement with shareholders and stakeholders which helps us refine our executive compensation program to ensure alignment with shareholders and our business strategy. The HC&CC recognizes that maintaining a strong executive compensation program is critical for ensuring the continued alignment of management and our shareholders' interests.

### Summary of Key Elements of Executive Compensation in Fiscal 2025

#### Elements of Compensation
The key elements of our fiscal 2025 executive compensation program as well as the purpose of each item are shown in the following table:

---

---

#### Base Salary.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the HC&CC establishes the salaries of the executive officers (other than our CEO) based on several factors, including peer group data, the executive's performance and potential, retention considerations, and the recommendations of our CEO. These recommendations are based on, among other factors, an assessment of the individual's responsibilities, experience, and individual performance.

The salary of our CEO is set by the Board, based upon the recommendation of the HC&CC. Meridian, without input from management, provides the HC&CC with a competitive market analysis, based on the approved peer group for salary, bonus and long-term incentive award levels. The HC&CC uses this information, along with its analysis of the performance and contributions of our CEO against performance goals, to recommend to our Board an appropriate salary for our CEO.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

The HC&CC evaluated the annual base salaries of the individuals then serving as executive officers at its October 2024 meeting and set the base salaries of the following NEOs:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name**  | **Fiscal 2024<br>($)**  | **Effective<br>November 1, 2024<br>($)**  | **Increase<br>($/ %)**  |
| **Mr. Little** | $1100000 | $1100000 | $0 |

| **Mr. Sullivan** | $800000 | $835000 | $35,000 (4.4%) |

---

(1) Ms. Weissman became CFO on December 1, 2024 and her salary increase reflects her promotion and is effective as of that date.

(2) Ms. Spence joined the Company in October 2024.

#### Short-Term Incentive Program — Annual Cash Bonus
 *<u>Executive Officer Bonus Program</u>* 

Annual cash bonuses to our NEOs are based on a percentage of the executive's annual salary and adjusted based on performance as compared to metrics reviewed and approved by the HC&CC. The executive annual bonus program for fiscal 2025 (the "Executive Officer Bonus Program") was designed to measure Company-wide performance against three metrics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Adjusted EBITDA (40% of the bonus target);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Adjusted Net Sales (40% of the bonus target); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Strategic Priorities (20% of the bonus target),

The metrics and targets for the Executive Officer Bonus Program were chosen based on fulfilling our Company's business plan for fiscal 2025 and to ensure alignment with shareholder interests. We chose Adjusted EBITDA to emphasize profit growth and Adjusted Net Sales to emphasize top line growth. We selected Strategic Priorities in order to emphasize a tight alignment by our executives around a clear set of enterprise priorities that have a meaningful impact on the business.

The performance goals for each metric were approved by the HC&CC at the beginning of fiscal 2025. Individual bonus targets for each of the executive officers were established using peer group market data provided by Meridian along with internal benchmarks for comparable roles. The following bonus targets, defined as a percentage of the individual's base salary for the term of the bonus program, were established for fiscal 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name**  | **Bonus Target as<br>a Percentage of<br>Base Salary**  |
| **Mr. Little** | 125% |
| **Ms. Weissman** | 65% |
| **Ms. Spence** | 80% |
| **Mr. Hibbert** | 75% |
| **Ms. Langley** | 75% |
| **Mr. Sullivan** | 90% |

---

During fiscal 2025, in response to a rapidly evolving marketplace, including new developments in tariff policy and foreign exchange volatility and their significant ripple effects across our business, the HC&CC approved a bifurcation of the financial performance goals (Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Sales) into two separate measurement periods. This

change was made to ensure the Company could fairly recognize our Executive Officers for their efforts and results amid evolving internal and external challenges and priorities. For the 20% strategic priorities component, the HC&CC initially approved the following in October 2024: Supply Chain Optimization, Improvement of Innovation and Effective Cash Flow Management. However, given the critical importance of our North America Transformation initiative, which was launched during fiscal 2025, management recommended, and the HC&CC approved, the replacement of Cash Flow Management with Successful Execution of North America Transformation as a strategic priority in June 2025.

The first half of fiscal 2025 ("H12025") was based on the original goals (threshold, target, and max) approved by the HC&CC at the beginning of the year but truncated to reflect 6-month goals and actual results. For the second half of fiscal 2025 ("H22025"), the HC&CC established 6-month target goals aligned to the original full-year targets but established wider threshold-stretch range to account for the unexpected and ongoing business uncertainty driven by external factors. However, payout opportunities were also proportionally adjusted below threshold, as discussed in more detail below.

For the Executive Officer Bonus Program for H12025, the combined weighted payout for the NEOs was 72.4% out of a total potential target amount of 80%, based on outcomes under the following two financial performance metrics and the strategic priorities metric noted below:

For the Executive Officer Bonus Program for H22025, the combined weighted payout for the named executive officers was 32.5% out of a total potential target amount of 80%, based on outcomes under the following two financial performance metrics:

For the "Optimization of Supply Chain" strategic priority, the Company achieved the goal of portfolio simplification within key project timelines with respect to timing, cost, quality, and quantity. For the "Improvement of Innovation Capability" strategic priority, innovation initiatives delivered on the incremental net sales target for fiscal 2025 while identifying improvements and areas of opportunity. Finally, for the "Successful Execution of North America Transformation" strategic priority, the Company's executive officers successfully transitioned to a new, more efficient leadership structure with the aim of improving upon sales and market share trends.

| **Weighted Payout** | 33.3% | 19.2% | 20% |
|  | **Total Adjusted Payout** | 72.4% |  |

---

While the Company made meaningful progress on the operational elements of the North America Transformation initiative in 2025, the previously approved Effective Cash Flow Management strategic priority was not achieved. In recognition of these mixed results, and at the request of management, the HC&CC approved negative discretion, reducing the final payout to 66%, a reduction from the final formulaic payout of 72.4%. This adjustment reflects success in executing key transformation actions, but also acknowledges that the overall financial outcomes, particularly in cash flow, did not meet established targets.

Bonus payouts increase relative to final results between the goals indicated with maximum bonus at stretch. No bonuses are paid for results below the threshold goal. For H12025, the payout at threshold for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Sales was 50% of target. For H22025, the payout at threshold for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Sales was set lower at 25% of target, in conjunction with lowering the threshold performance goals. The maximum payout for the financial goals (Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Sales) for both H12025 and H22025 was 225% of target and the maximum payout for strategic priorities was 100% of target. Thus, the total bonus payout is capped at 200% for Company performance at, or above, the stretch goal.

The Company uses non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believes it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. The information can also be used to perform analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded.

The Company utilizes "adjusted" non-GAAP measures which exclude items considered by the Company as unusual or non-recurring, and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period.

<u>Adjusted EBITDA</u> 

Adjusted EBITDA means our Company's EBITDA determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), subject to adjustment for costs associated with restructuring and related costs; acquisition and integration costs; regulatory costs; legal fees; commercial realignment; vendor bankruptcy; depreciation; investment revaluation; lease liability remeasurement; and other project and related costs.

The HC&CC determined that, for purposes of the plan, Adjusted EBITDA for H12025 was $145.2 million, resulting in awards payable under the plan at 38.3% of target with respect to this performance metric. Adjusted EBITDA for H22025 was $156.8 million, resulting in awards payable under the plan at 0% of target with respect to this performance metric.

<u>Adjusted Net Sales</u> 

Adjusted Net Sales means net sales, as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to account for the impact of fluctuations in translation and transactional foreign currency.

The HC&CC determined Adjusted Net Sales for H12025 was $1,079.6 million, resulting in awards payable under the plan at 85.1% of target with respect to this performance metric. Adjusted Net Sales for H22025 was $1,161.7 million, resulting in awards payable under the plan at 81.2% of target with respect to this performance metric.

<u>Strategic Priorities</u> 

Strategic Priorities are a set of three enterprise-wide strategic objectives selected during fiscal 2025 and designed to promote a "one team mindset" by aligning the Company's executive officers around a clear set of enterprise priorities and critical shared goals.

#### Long-Term Incentive Program — Equity Awards
Our 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan authorizes the HC&CC to grant various types of equity awards. Under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, the HC&CC granted RSE awards, consisting of PRSEs and time-vesting awards to key executives. PRSE awards are tied to both the achievement of Company performance targets over a set time period (typically three years) and continued employment with our Company over the same period as conditions to vesting of the awards. Time-vesting RSE awards are tied solely to continued employment with our Company over a set time period as the condition to vesting of the awards. The following graph shows the performance periods of our historical PRSE awards.

![[MISSING IMAGE: tb_performance-pn.jpg]](tb_performance-pn.jpg)

 *<u>Timing and Procedures for Grants</u>* 

Other than in exceptional cases, such as promotions or new hires, long-term incentive awards are generally granted in the first quarter of the fiscal year (October through December), at the time when salary levels and short-term incentive programs for the new fiscal year are determined. The HC&CC does not take material non-public information into account

when determining the timing and terms of equity awards. The Company does not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Our CEO recommends to the HC&CC total equity awards to be awarded to each NEO (other than our CEO). The HC&CC considers the equity awards for executive officers based in part upon benchmarked data from our peer group provided by Meridian, as well as other factors, such as the officers individual performance and the market run-rate for equity grants among the peer group.

With respect to awards to our CEO, Meridian, without input from our CEO or other members of management, provides a competitive market analysis to the HC&CC based on the peer group. The HC&CC determines the award to recommend to our Board considering the market analysis, performance of our Company, returns to shareholders, and experience and effectiveness of our CEO's leadership, as well as the input from Meridian.

The RSE awards are stock settled at the time of vesting when they convert into shares of our common stock. PRSE awards are earned based on the level of performance over the vesting period against pre-established goals. The value of all our equity awards fluctuates based on performance of our Company's common stock over time. This combination of financial performance and stock price performance enhances alignment with our shareholders.

 *<u>Restricted Stock Equivalent Award Grants during Fiscal 2025</u>* 

The HC&CC approved the grant of both PRSE awards and time-vesting RSE awards to our NEOs in October 2024. These award amounts were based on the competitive market pay for each position as well as each individual's performance and business results during the prior fiscal year. The number and type of RSE awards granted to each NEO is shown in the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table.

For the PRSEs granted in October 2024, we used a three-year relative TSR metric, benchmarked against a custom group consisting of the S&P 1000 Consumer Staples Sector and certain non-overlapping executive compensation benchmarking peers. The HC&CC believes relative TSR is an important metric which drives the executive leadership team to deliver superior returns for shareholders. The HC&CC annually reviews the peer set to ensure ongoing appropriateness. The HC&CC believes the following group of peer companies provides a robust representation of the competitive market for capital.

 *<u>Stock Option Award Grants during Fiscal 2025</u>* 

There were no stock option awards granted to the NEOs in fiscal 2025. The HC&CC reviewed and approved removal of stock option awards from the NEO long-term incentive compensation mix to be more in line with market practice, as the HC&CC also increased PRSE and RSE weightings for NEOs to deliver more "at risk" compensation and to provide greater certainty of value delivery during periods of low-growth for the Company's share price.

#### Retirement Plans
Our NEOs are covered by our qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan and entitled to a Company match on a portion of their deferrals to the plan. The elimination of the U.S defined benefit pension plan was partially offset by an increase in our Company match to contributions made by participants into our defined contribution 401(k) and ESIP. The amounts which may be deferred on a tax preferred basis into the 401(k) plan, as well as the amount of the matching contributions, are also subject to IRS limitations. We have also established supplemental plans to compensate executives for these limits. Our ESIP permits executives to defer any excess contributions and matching payments not permitted into the qualified 401(k) plan. According to market data provided by Meridian, these types of benefits are generally offered by our peer group, often with enhanced benefit formulas (which we do not provide). Details of the ESIP, including the contributions, earnings, and year-end balances, are set forth in the "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Table."

#### Severance and Other Benefits Following a Change in Control
The HC&CC has adopted a CIC Plan in which current and future executive officers, including the NEOs, will be eligible to participate, as discussed under "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control." Please refer to that section for more information.

#### Perquisites
We offer a limited number of perquisites for our executive officers. The perquisites or executive benefits consist of the executive financial planning program, group life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and an executive long-term disability plan. We regularly review the benefits provided to our executives and make appropriate modifications based on peer group analysis and the HC&CC's evaluation of the retentive value of these benefits.

#### Executive Officer Stock Ownership Requirements
To directly align the interests of our NEOs with our shareholders, our stock ownership guidelines provide that the CEO maintain ownership of our common stock with a value of at least five times his base salary, and other executive officers must maintain common stock ownership with a value of at least three times their base salaries. New executive officers are given a period of five years to attain full compliance with the guidelines.

|:---|:---|
| **Group**  | **Ownership Level**  |

| Other NEOs | 3X base salary  |

For purposes of this determination, stock ownership includes shares of our common stock which are owned directly or by family members residing with the executive or by family trusts, vested RSEs, unvested RSEs (other than equivalents

subject to achievement of performance targets), and common stock or stock equivalents credited to an officer under our defined contribution 401(k) plan or our ESIP. As of September 30, 2025, each of our NEOs, other than Paul Hibbert, with five years or more of service were in compliance with these guidelines. Mr. Hibbert was not in compliance solely due to fluctuations in our stock price.

#### Other Policies and Considerations
We follow Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, ("ASC Topic 718"), for our share-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, RSEs and PRSEs, based on the grant date fair value of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though our executive officers may never realize any value from their awards. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their share-based compensation awards in their income statements over the period that an executive officer is required to render service in exchange for the option or other award.

The HC&CC considers whether components of the compensation for our executive officers will be adversely impacted by the penalty tax imposed by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and aims to structure these components to be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A to avoid such potential adverse tax consequences.

#### Excessive Risk-Taking Mitigation

#### Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees, that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable listing standards. In addition, with regard to any trading by the Company in its own securities, it is the Company's policy to comply with the federal securities laws and the applicable exchange listing requirements. The foregoing summary of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Insider Trading Policy, which was attached as Exhibit 19.1 to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with SEC on November 18, 2025.

Under our insider trading policy, directors, officers and employees or their designees are prohibited from engaging in speculative trading or hedging transactions in Edgewell securities and from purchasing any financial instruments or entering into any other arrangements designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Edgewell securities, including prohibitions on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • investing or trading in market-traded options on Edgewell securities — i.e., puts and calls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds) that are designed to profit from, hedge or offset any change in the market value of equity securities (1) granted by our Company to the director, officer or employee as part of the compensation of the employee or member of our Board; or (2) held, directly or indirectly, by the director, officer or employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • engaging in "short-sales" of Edgewell securities — i.e., selling Edgewell stock not owned at the time of the sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • entering into a "sale against the box" transaction (loaning Edgewell stock to another individual and receiving cash back as security for the loan); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • speculating on relatively short-term price movements of Edgewell securities — i.e., engaging in a purchase and sale of Edgewell stock within a short period of time.

Our policy prohibits directors, officers and employees from purchasing Edgewell securities on margin, holding Edgewell securities in a margin account, or pledging Edgewell securities as collateral. The policy also prohibits engaging in any other transaction involving Edgewell securities that suggests the misuse of information that is unavailable to the general public.

#### Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy
On September 13, 2023, the HC&CC adopted the Edgewell Personal Care Company Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy (the "Recoupment Policy") replacing the previous Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy dated April 24, 2017. Under the Recoupment Policy, our Board, through the HC&CC, may direct our Company to recover reasonably promptly the amount of erroneously awarded compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material non-compliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC2)

statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.

"Incentive-based compensation" under the Recoupment Policy means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure. "Erroneously awarded compensation" means the amount of incentive-based compensation received that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts and shall be computed without regard to any taxes paid. For incentive-based compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of erroneously awarded compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an accounting restatement, the amount shall be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the incentive-based compensation was received.

The Recoupment Policy applies to all incentive compensation received on or after October 2, 2023 and applies to all incentive-based compensation received by a person who served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period for that incentive-based compensation, including any transition period (that results from a change in the Company's fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years.

#### Executive Severance Plan
The HC&CC does not believe employment contracts for executives are necessary because our executives have developed a focus on the Company's long-term success. On April 18, 2023, the HC&CC adopted an executive severance plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") for our Company to govern situations in which an executive's employment with the Company is terminated, other than for cause. The Executive Severance Plan provides benefits to a number of our Company's executives, including the NEOs, in the event of a qualifying termination, which includes an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary termination as a result of good reason (as such terms are defined in the plan). In adopting the Executive Severance Plan, the HC&CC considered that the market practice at peer companies is to provide executives with certain benefits in the event of such terminations and concluded that the plan would be a significant benefit to our Company in attracting and retaining key executives by offering a competitive total compensation package.

Post-termination benefits for participating executives consist of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • A lump-sum severance benefit in the amount determined in accordance with such executive's title upon the occurrence of the qualifying termination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If an executive is participating in a group health plan at the time of his or her qualifying termination, an additional lump-sum severance benefit in an amount equal to 1.5 times the full monthly premium cost (employer plus employee) in effect at the time of the qualifying termination for the level of coverage in effect for such executive and his or her dependents, as applicable, on such date, multiplied by the number of months determined in accordance with such executive's title upon the occurrence of the qualifying termination.

Such benefits are subject to reduction under certain circumstances, including to the extent necessary to avoid certain federal excise taxes. In addition, no benefits will be paid to the extent duplicative of benefits under a change in control or similar agreement with our Company.

The payment of benefits under the Executive Severance Plan is conditioned upon, among other things, the executive executing a general release in favor of our Company, which shall include confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and non-competition obligations of the employee in favor of our Company.

A description of the projected cost, if all of the NEOs were terminated on September 30, 2025, is provided under "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control."

(1) The amounts listed in this column include the sign-on bonus for Ms. Spence that she received in connection with the commencement of her employment with the Company in October 2024, and the one-time merit lump sum payment Ms. Weissman received is in connection with the timing of her promotion to Chief Financial Officer on December 1, 2024.

(2) The amounts listed in this column include both time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock equivalent grants awarded in fiscal 2025 to our named executive officers. The value of the performance-based award is calculated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board's ("FASB") ASC Section 718. We provide information regarding the assumptions used to calculate the value of awards made to our NEOs in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Our Company records estimated expense for performance-based grants based on target achievement of performance metrics for the three-year period, unless evidence exists that achievement above or below target for the applicable performance metric is more likely to occur. The fair value of each PRSE was estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation.

(3) There were no stock options awarded for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

(4) All awards under our Executive Officer Bonus Program are based upon achievement of Company performance measures established at the beginning of a performance period. Consequently, the value of all bonuses earned during the fiscal year under these programs has been included in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of this table. See "Elements of Compensation — Incentive Programs — Short-Term Incentive Program — Annual Cash Bonus."

(2) These represent the amounts which potentially could have been earned under the fiscal 2025 Executive Officer Bonus Program.

The value of the amount calculated in accordance with accounting guidance is included in the "Stock Awards" column of the "Summary Compensation Table."

(4) These restricted stock equivalents (performance-based) awarded on November 8, 2024 (awarded on December 2, 2024 for Ms. Weissman), will vest upon certification by the Board and release of our earnings for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027 if the NEO remains employed with us at that time and if specified performance criteria are met, subject to the exercise of negative discretion by the HC&CC. The performance criteria for these awards is relative total shareholder return for the "Performance Period" beginning on October 1, 2024 (100%).

#### OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR END
The following types of equity awards have been granted to the NEOs, and remain unvested, or, in the case of non-qualified stock options, unvested or unexercised, as of September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • RSEs that vest over a period of time and at vesting convert into non-restricted shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had outstanding unvested RSE awards with initial vesting terms of equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Unvested RSE awards are included under "Stock Awards — Number of Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested," in the table below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • PRSEs that vest subject to the achievement of performance-based conditions and at vesting convert into non-restricted shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had outstanding unvested PRSEs that will vest shortly after their certification once our Company releases earnings for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, subject to satisfaction of specific performance criteria being met. In addition, we had outstanding unvested PRSEs that will vest shortly after their certification once our Company releases earnings for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, subject to satisfaction of specific performance criteria being met. The performance metrics are Relative Total Shareholder Return (100%). The percentage of the PRSEs vesting will range from 0% to 200% based on performance. We also had outstanding PRSEs awards with performance-based vesting conditions that will vest after their certification once our Company releases earnings for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, subject to satisfaction of specific performance criteria being met. The performance metrics are Relative Total Shareholder Return (100%). The percentage of the PRSEs vesting will range from 0% to 200% based on performance. Unvested awards are included under "Stock Awards — Equity Incentive Plan Awards: Number of Unearned Shares, Units or Other Rights That Have Not Vested" in the table below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Non-qualified stock options granting the right to acquire shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. These options become exercisable in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and remain exercisable over the ten-year period following grant. Outstanding option awards are described under "Option Awards" in the table below.

All awards were granted under the terms of our 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan.

(1) In fiscal 2025, time-based RSEs and performance-based PRSEs granted to each of the NEOs in fiscal 2021, 2022 and 2023, vested in accordance with the terms of the awards. Upon vesting, the equivalents converted into shares of our common stock, which were then issued to the NEOs free of any restrictions.

#### NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
We have adopted the ESIP which provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax qualified.

#### Executive Savings Investment Plan
Under the terms of our ESIP, amounts that would be contributed, either by an executive or by our Company on the executive's behalf, to our 401(k) plan but for tax limitations, are credited to the non-qualified ESIP. Under that plan, executives may elect to defer their contributions and Company contributions in any of the measurement fund options which track the performance of the Vanguard investment funds offered under our 401(k) plan. Deferrals and vested Company contributions may be transferred to different investment options at the executive's discretion. Deferrals in the ESIP, adjusted for the net investment return, are paid out in a lump sum payment, or in five or ten annual installments, following retirement or other termination of employment.

(3) Aggregate earnings/(losses) shown in this column consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • amounts credited to each NEO under the investment options of each of the plans, reflecting actual earnings on investment funds offered under our 401(k) plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the appreciation or depreciation in value of each of the investment options in the plans between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

#### POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our NEOs. However, equity awards under our 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan provide for acceleration of vesting of certain awards in the event of certain terminations of employment. In September 2016, we instituted an Executive Severance Plan in which our NEOs and certain of our other key employees participate which provides benefits to participants in the event of an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary termination as a result of good reason, as such terms are defined in the plan, including severance compensation, payment for accrued but unpaid paid time off and payments in respect of the monthly premium cost for group health plan benefits.

The information below reflects the value of acceleration or compensation which each officer would receive upon the termination of his or her employment or upon a change in control. Because the value of awards and incremental compensation depend on several factors, actual amounts can only be determined at the time of the event.

The information is based on the following assumptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the event of termination (death, permanent disability, involuntary termination, or voluntary termination), or a change in control of our Company, occurred on September 30, 2025, the last day of our fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the market value of our common stock on that date was $20.36 (the actual closing price on September 30, 2025, the last trading day of fiscal 2025).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • each of the NEOs were terminated on that date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the individual federal tax rate was 37%, Connecticut state tax rate was 7%, New York state tax rate was 10.3%, and FICA was 2.35%.

This information does not reflect benefits that are provided under our plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in favor of NEOs and are available generally to all salaried employees — such as amounts accrued under our savings investment plan, accumulated and vested benefits under our retirement plans (including our SERP and ESIP), health, welfare and disability benefits, and accrued vacation pay.

The information below also does not include amounts under our ESIP that would be paid, or vested stock equivalents that would be issued, all as described in the "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Table," except to the extent that an officer is entitled to an accelerated benefit as a result of the termination. Any acceleration of equity awards would also include acceleration of dividends payable with respect to such awards, if any.

#### Death, Permanent Disability or Termination of Employment (Other Than Under the Executive Severance Plan or Upon a Change in Control)
Upon an NEO's death, permanent disability, involuntary termination, voluntary termination and, in some cases, retirement, the following long-term incentive awards may provide for acceleration of vesting. Awards are accelerated on a pro rata basis for retirement after attainment of age 55 with ten years of service if granted 12 or more months prior to the retirement date. No awards are accelerated upon voluntary termination or involuntary termination.

| Three-year time-based restricted stock equivalent and stock options granted 11/11/2022, 11/10/2023 and 11/8/2024. | Forfeited  | Accelerated  | Accelerated  | Pro Rata Vesting  |
| Three-year performance-based restricted stock equivalent awards granted 11/11/2022, 11/10/2023 and 11/8/2024. | Forfeited  | Accelerated  | Pro Rata Vesting  | Pro Rata Vesting  |

---

The value of awards which would be accelerated for our NEOs upon death, permanent disability, or retirement as of September 30, 2025, is shown in the following chart. The value of accelerated restricted stock equivalents reflects a stock price of $20.36 (the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2025, the last trading day of the fiscal year). Stock market changes since October 1, 2025, are not reflected in these valuations.

In the event an NEO's employment is terminated due to permanent disability, our Company provides basic long-term disability benefits of 40% of the officer's previous year's salary and a one-time bonus up to $240,000. He or she may also be entitled to benefits under our optional long-term disability plan, which pays a supplemental benefit equal to a total of 66<sup>2</sup>∕3% of the officer's previous year's salary and a one-time bonus up to $240,000. As noted in the "Summary Compensation Table," our Company pays the premiums for $50,000 of term life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance for all U.S. employees, including the NEOs.

#### Executive Severance Plan
Our Executive Severance Plan provides benefits to a number of our Company's executives, including the NEOs (each an "Eligible Employee"), in the event of a qualifying termination event ("Qualifying Termination"), which includes an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary termination as a result of good reason. Under the plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • "Cause" generally includes (i) the failure of an Eligible Employee to make a good faith effort to substantially perform their duties (other than any such failure due to the Eligible Employee's disability) or an Eligible Employee's insubordination with respect to a specific directive; (ii) an Eligible Employee's dishonesty, negligence in the performance of his or her duties or engaging in willful misconduct, which in the case of any such negligence, has caused or is reasonably expected to result in direct or indirect material injury to our Company; (iii) breach by an Eligible Employee of any material provision of any written agreement with our Company or material violation of any Company policy; or (iv) an Eligible Employee's commission of a crime that constitutes a felony or other crime of moral turpitude or fraud.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • "Good Reason" generally includes (i) a material diminution of an Eligible Employee's base compensation or bonus opportunity; (ii) a material diminution of an Eligible Employee's authority, duties, or responsibilities; or (iii) a change in the principal place of an Eligible Employee's employment to a location that is more than 50 miles distant from the Eligible Employee's then current principal place of employment.

Post-termination benefits for each NEO under the plan consist of a lump sum payment equal to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.5 times the officer's annual base salary plus a severance bonus equal to the target short-term incentive plan bonus for the officer for the current fiscal year, except in the case of Mr. Little, where such payment will be equal to two times; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.5 times the monthly premium cost for group health plan benefits for the officer multiplied by 18, except in the case of Mr. Little, where the health costs will be multiplied by 24.

Such benefits are subject to reduction under certain circumstances, including to the extent necessary to avoid certain federal excise taxes. In addition, no benefits will be paid to the extent duplicative of benefits under a change in control or similar agreement with our Company.

The payment of benefits under the plan is conditioned upon, among other things, the NEO executing a general release in our Company's favor, which shall include confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and non-competition obligations of the officer.

#### Change in Control of Our Company
Effective April 25, 2019, we adopted a Change in Control Plan that covers our NEOs. All capitalized terms used below and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Change in Control Plan.

"Cause" generally means a Participant's termination for willful breach of, or failure to perform, such Participant's employment duties.

"Good Reason" generally means, without a participant's prior express written consent, among other things, certain changes in the officer's status or duties, reduction in salary or failure to pay certain compensation or awards, relocation of his or her office, or improper termination.

A "Change in Control" generally includes, among other things, acquisition of specified amounts of shares by any person, certain changes in the composition of our incumbent Board, approval of business combinations under certain circumstances, or other matters approved by our Board.

Upon a Participant's Termination of Employment following a Change in Control, a Participant shall be entitled to the following benefits, provided that such Termination of Employment occurs during the Change in Control Period, and such Termination of Employment is not a result of a Participant's Death, Retirement or Disability and if by the Company, is not for Cause, or if by Participant, is for Good Reason:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Payment in full of Participant's prorated bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination of Employment occurs calculated as Participant's Target Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination of Employment occurs, or, if greater, the actual bonus awarded to Participant under any short-term incentive plan(s) of our Company for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, divided by 365 and multiplied by the number of calendar days in said year immediately up to the day on which the Termination of Employment occurs, subject to any valid deferral election which was made prior to that time by the Participant under any Company qualified pension plan, non-qualified pension plan, 401(k) plan, excess 401(k) plan or non-qualified deferred compensation plan then in effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options and restricted stock and stock equivalent awards, including performance awards, which have been granted or sold to the Participant by the Company, and which have not otherwise vested;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Payment of a Participant's base salary through Termination of Employment at the rate in effect at the time the Notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which Participant is entitled under any compensation plan(s) or program(s) of our Company applicable to Participant at the time such payments are due under such plan(s) or program(s);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Additional pay calculated as the product of a predetermined amount applicable to Participant's title multiplied by the sum of (x) the greater of (i) Participant's annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Termination of Employment, or (ii) Participant's annual base salary in effect as of the date of the Change in Control, and (y) Participant's Target Bonus Amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If not already vested, Participant shall be deemed fully vested as of the Termination of Employment in any Company retirement plan(s) or other written agreement(s) between Participant and our Company relating to pay

or other retirement income benefits upon retirement in which Participant was a participant, party or beneficiary immediately prior to the Change in Control, and any additional plan(s) or agreement(s) in which such Participant became a participant, party or beneficiary thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • For the period of time after Termination of Employment applicable to Participant's title, our Company shall continue health, vision, dental, life insurance and long-term disability benefits, including executive benefits, Participant and/or Participant's family as if Participant's employment with our Company had not been terminated as of the Termination of Employment, in accordance with our Company's then-current plans, programs, practices and policies on terms and conditions (including the level of benefits, deductibles and employee payments for such benefits) not less favorable than those which are then being provided to peer executives of our Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • If pursuant to the terms and conditions of any such health or welfare plan or program, our Company is not able to continue Participant's and/or Participant's family participation in the plan or program for all or any portion of such period applicable to Participant's title, our Company will reimburse Participant for the cost of insurance for any such benefit for Participant and/or Participant's family, for such period as such benefits are not able to be continued pursuant to a plan or program of our Company, less the amount that would have been paid by Participant for such benefits pursuant to our Company's plan or program; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Six months of outplacement services through a designated provider selected by our Company, terminating six months thereafter or upon the date Participant obtains other employment, whichever date is sooner.

The foregoing is subject to execution by Participant of a Release in favor of our Company no later than 60 days following such Participant's Termination of Employment, including the Participant's written acceptance of, and written agreement to comply with, the confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and non-competition provisions set forth in the Release.

#### Estimated Payments and Benefits
Based on the assumptions set out above, the following chart sets forth estimated payments to our NEOs upon termination following a change in control. The value of accelerated restricted stock equivalents reflects a stock price of $20.36 (the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2025, the last trading day of our fiscal year). Stock market declines and vesting and forfeitures of unvested restricted stock equivalents since October 1, 2025 are not reflected in these valuations.

(1) It was determined that a "golden parachute" excise tax would be due under the Code for Ms. Weissman and Ms. Langley and, therefore, we reduced the aggregate amount of the payments that would be payable to an amount such that no excise tax would be due.

#### Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio Disclosure
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median total compensation of our employees and the total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Little.

We selected September 30, 2025, the last day of our fiscal year, as the determination date for identifying the median employee and base salary as our consistently applied compensation measure ("CACM"). Using this CACM, we identified all employees whose base salary was estimated to be at the median. We selected an individual from this group as representative of our median employee. The median employee selected has a total compensation of $49,375, calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. The total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was $9,754,366. As a result, our estimate of the ratio of CEO pay to the median employee pay is 198 to 1.

The above pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratio disclosed by our peer companies due to differences in the geographic distribution of the workforce and nature of the work performed and differences in the methodology, reasonable estimates, and assumptions we employed compared to different organizations.

### PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between our NEOs' "compensation actually paid" and certain company financial performance metrics. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with Company financial performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.

Information presented in this section will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as we may specifically do so.

Little, Sullivan, and Hibbert and Ms. Langley were filed on November 14, 2024.

#### Compensation Risk Assessment
As part of its responsibilities, the HC&CC annually reviews our Company's compensation policies and practices to determine whether, in its judgment, our executive and employee compensation programs encourage risk-taking reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. The risk assessment process includes; an assessment of each executive compensation program and policy; identifying pay arrangements that may encourage behaviors which harm long-term value, cause employees to take on excessive risk (or become risk averse) or pay substantially more (or less) than performance warrants; an assessment of how the design and overall structure of total compensation mitigates risk; and, addressing areas where market practice and risk management perspective may differ or where there is a risk to attracting and retaining talent. In relation to this, we believe that our compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk taking. The HC&CC monitors our compensation programs on an annual basis and expects to make modifications as necessary to address any changes in our business or risk profile.

The nine directors named herein have been nominated for election at the Annual Meeting to serve for a one-year term expiring at our 2027 annual meeting of shareholders ("2027 Annual Meeting"). James C. Johnson has not been nominated for re-election. Our Board has nominated Messrs. Black, Corbin, Hunter, Little, Sachdev and Waring and Mss.

**Vote Required.** The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for the election of each director.

#### THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NINE DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Our Corporate Governance Principles require that any director-nominee who receives a number of votes cast in favor of their election that is less than a majority of the number of votes cast on the matter at a duly held meeting of the Company's shareholders shall tender their resignation from the Board, which resignation shall be effective only upon its acceptance by the Board. In each such case, the Corporate Governance Committee will consider any such tendered resignation and, within a reasonable period of time, make a recommendation to the Board. The Corporate Governance Committee may consider any factors it deems relevant in deciding whether to recommend that the Board accept a director's resignation. The Board will act following the receipt of the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee and will publicly disclose its decision. If the Board determines not to accept any such resignation, the Board will publicly disclose a detailed explanation of the rationale behind such decision within 60 days from the date such resignation is tendered. The policy is set forth within our Company's Corporate Governance Principles, which is available on our website, <u>www.edgewell.com</u>, click on "Investors," then "Corporate Governance," then "Corporate Governance Principles."

### ITEM 2. RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
Our Audit Committee, in accordance with authority granted in its charter by our Board, appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as our Company's independent auditor for fiscal 2026. PwC has served as our independent auditor since 2000, and PwC has begun certain work related to the fiscal 2026 audit as approved by our Audit Committee. Information on independent auditor fees for the last two fiscal years is set forth below. Our Board and the Audit Committee believe that the retention of PwC to serve as independent auditor is in the best interests of our Company and shareholders. In making this determination, our Board and the Audit Committee considered a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Audit Committee members' assessment of PwC's performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Management's assessment of PwC's performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • PwC's independence and integrity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • PwC's fees and the quality of services provided to Edgewell; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • PwC's global capabilities and knowledge of our global operations.

**Vote Required.** The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for ratification.

#### THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PWC AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026
A representative of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if desired, as well as to respond to appropriate questions.

Although NYSE listing standards require that the Audit Committee be directly responsible for selecting and retaining the independent auditor, we are providing shareholders with the means to express their views on this matter. Although this vote will not be binding, in the event our shareholders fail to ratify the appointment of PwC, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent auditors for fiscal 2027. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent auditing firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and shareholders.

#### Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee has a formal policy concerning approval of all services to be provided by our independent auditor, including audit, audit-related, tax and other services. The policy requires that all services the auditor may provide to us must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Chair of the Audit Committee has the authority to pre-approve permitted services that require action between regular committee meetings, provided he reports to the committee at the next regular meeting. Early in each fiscal year, the Audit Committee approves the list of planned audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditor during that year, as well as a budget estimating spending for such services for the fiscal year. Any proposed services exceeding the maximum fee levels set forth in that budget must receive specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee approved all services provided by PwC during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 in accordance with the pre-approval policy.

### ITEM 3. APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) BASIS, OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and Rule 14a-21 under the Exchange Act, we are asking our shareholders to provide non-binding advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. We encourage shareholders to review the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for details regarding our executive compensation programs. Our shareholder advisory (non-binding) vote to approve executive compensation was approved by 96.30% of the voting power represented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and entitled to vote on the subject matter.

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies, and practices that we use. We believe that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management's interests are aligned with our shareholders' interests. Our compensation programs are designed to enable and reinforce our Company's overall business strategy by aligning pay with achievement of short- and long-term financial and strategic objectives, while providing a competitive level of compensation which is needed to recruit, retain and motivate talented executives critical to our success. For a more detailed discussion of our fiscal 2025 compensation program, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" above.

In particular, during fiscal 2025, the HC&CC:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Established a short-term performance incentive plan for fiscal 2025 for the NEOs that provided an annual cash bonus based upon satisfaction of performance targets measured under multiple metrics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Adjusted Net Sales growth to reward top-line growth and strong operating performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Adjusted EBITDA to encourage the executives to deliver bottom-line results; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Strategic Priorities to promote a "one team mindset" by aligning the Company's executive officers around a clear set of enterprise priorities and critical shared goals.

This short-term incentive program resulted in a combined weighted payout of 66%, following the application of negative discretion, (see the section Short-Term Incentive Program — Annual Cash Bonus, Executive Officer Bonus Program for further information) of the target bonus amount for our executive officers based on outcomes under these performance metrics, reinforcing our pay-for-performance philosophy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Approved long-term incentive plan grants of performance-based and time-based RSEs. The PRSEs are subject to satisfaction of relative TSR performance targets for the three fiscal year period ending with our Company's 2027 fiscal year. With a majority of the value of the long-term incentive awards consisting of PRSEs, the HC&CC believes it has emphasized our compensation principle of 'alignment with shareholder interests' with our executives' long-term incentive compensation tied directly to successful Company performance and creating value for shareholders.

Our Board believes our Company's overall compensation program and practices support the Company's compensation philosophy and business strategy. Accordingly, the Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the following advisory (non-binding) resolution, which will be presented at the Annual Meeting:

**RESOLVED**, that the Company's shareholders approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying tables and narrative discussion.

**Vote Required.** The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the vote to approve executive compensation paid to our NEOs.

**THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) BASIS, OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS**

### ITEM 4. APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S 3 <sup>RD</sup> AMENDED AND RESTATED 2018 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
We are asking our shareholders to approve the adoption of the Edgewell Personal Care Company 3<sup>rd</sup> Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan"). The full text of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit 1. Our Board approved and adopted the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan on November 6, 2025, subject to shareholder approval. The 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan is now being submitted to our shareholders for their approval with respect to future awards. The 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will become effective upon shareholder approval, and no awards may be granted under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan after the date that is 10 years from the date of shareholder approval.

The 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will amend and restate the 2<sup>nd</sup> Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan"). If shareholders approve the adoption of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will immediately be superseded with respect to future awards, and the remaining authorized shares under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will become available for grant under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, as described in greater detail under "Description of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan — Authorized Shares" below. Additional shares are being requested under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan.

The closing stock price of a share of our Company's common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on November 28, 2025, our record date, was $17.86.

Executive Summary of Changes in the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • An increase in the number of authorized shares by 2,100,000 shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The elimination of the fungible share ratio for all new awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The elimination of provisions regarding awards intended to be qualified performance-based compensation under the previously repealed exception to the $1 million deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the Code.

We are committed to using equity incentive awards prudently, within reasonable limits, and subject to performance and service-based vesting requirements. In setting the proposed number of shares reserved and issuable under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, the HC&CC and the Board considered several factors, including the potential dilutive effect of equity awards outstanding under the Company's prior equity compensation plans, the Company's historical equity usage and the expected dilution of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, in order to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate dilutive impact of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan.

***Total Potential Dilution***. Our equity plan dilution rate (or overhang) as of November 15, 2025 was 7.5% (calculated by dividing the number of shares subject to awards outstanding plus the number of shares remaining available for grant under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. The 2,100,000 shares under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan would increase our dilution rate by 4.5% to 12.0%.

***Burn Rate***. We manage our long-term shareholder dilution by closely managing the number of equity awards granted annually and regularly engaging with our compensation consultant. We grant what we believe is an appropriate amount of equity necessary to attract, reward and retain employees.

Burn rate is calculated as the number of shares granted over a set period divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Burn rate generally demonstrates how quickly a company uses shares available under our equity compensation plans.

The following table provides our three-year average burn rate under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan:

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Element**  | **Fiscal 2025**  | **Fiscal 2024**  | **Fiscal 2023**  | **Three-Year<br>Average**  |
| Stock options granted | 0 | 100000 | 100000 |  |
| Time-based restricted stock, RSUs and deferred stock units granted (a) | 500000 | 500000 | 500000 |  |
| Performance share units (PSUs) earned (b) | 100000 | 100000 | 100000 |  |
| Total full-value awards ((a) + (b)) | 600000 | 600000 | 600000 |  |
| Weighted-average basic number of shares of common <br> stock outstanding as of fiscal-year end | 47500000 | 49700000 | 51200000 |  |
| **Burn Rate** | **1.26%** | **1.41%** | **1.37%** | **1.35%** |

***Expected Plan Duration*.** Based on our historic and projected future use of equity-based compensation, we estimate that the shares requested under the Plan will be sufficient to provide awards for approximately one to two years. However, the actual duration of the share reserve will depend on factors that cannot presently be determined, such as the Company's future stock price, changes in participation, our hiring and promotion activity, future grant practices, award type mix and levels, competitive market practices, acquisitions and divestitures, the rate of returned shares due to forfeitures, and how the Company chooses to balance total compensation between cash and equity-based awards.

#### Share Information on Equity Compensation Plans as of November 15, 2025
The information included in this Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report is updated by the following information regarding our outstanding equity awards and shares available for future awards under the Company's existing equity compensation plans as of November 15, 2025 (except as otherwise noted):

#### Description of the 3 <sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan
The principal terms of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan are described below, but the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan itself. In the event of a conflict between the description and the terms of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan itself, the terms of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will govern. The 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will not become effective unless approved by shareholders.

#### Purpose
The purpose of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan is to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified and experienced employees and non-employee directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • tie the compensation of employees to the performance of our Company.

#### Administration
Except as noted below, the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan will be administered by the Human Capital & Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of our Board. Each member of the Committee shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a "Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a non-employee director meeting the independence requirements for Committee members under the rules and regulations of the exchange on which our Company's shares are traded.

The Committee will have the authority to select the employees and other individuals (other than non-employee directors) to receive awards under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, to determine the type, size and terms of the award to be made to each individual selected, to modify the terms of any award that has been granted, to determine the time when awards will be granted, to establish performance objectives, and to prescribe the form of award agreement. The Committee is also authorized to interpret the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan and the awards granted under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. The Committee may authorize any one or more of its members or any officer of our Company or any affiliate to execute and deliver documents or to take any other action on behalf of the Committee with respect to awards made or to be made to participants, subject to the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The Board has all the powers otherwise vested in the Committee by the terms of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan in respect of awards granted to non-employee directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for permitted adjustments in connection with a corporate transaction or recapitalization, neither the Committee nor the Board may reprice, adjust or amend the exercise price of stock options or stock appreciation rights previously awarded, whether through amendment, cancellation and replacement grant, or any other means, unless such action is approved by the shareholders of our Company. Any amendment or repeal of this prohibition against repricing requires the approval of the shareholders of our Company.

#### Eligible Participants
Employees and non-employee directors of our Company or our affiliates, and other individuals who perform services for our Company or any of our affiliates, are eligible to receive awards under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. As of December 1, 2025, approximately 7,000 persons, including five executive officers and nine non-employee directors, may be considered for awards under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan.

#### Authorized Shares
An additional 2,100,000 shares are being requested under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. The maximum number of shares available for grant and issuance under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan shall be 2,100,000 including the number of remaining shares of Common Stock not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, plus any shares of Common Stock that are subject to awards granted under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan that expire, are forfeited or canceled or terminate for any other reason after February 5, 2026 without the issuance of shares. Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to outstanding awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "A&R 2018 Plan") on or prior to February 6, 2020 that are used to pay the exercise price of an option or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award under the A&R 2018 Plan after February 6, 2020 shall not become available under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. No awards may be granted under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan on or after February 5, 2026 subject to shareholder approval of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. As of September 30, 2025, 2,350,788 shares would have been available for grant and issuance under the 2<sup>nd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan using the 1.95 to 1 ratio.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

For awards granted prior to February 5, 2026,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • awards of stock options or stock appreciation rights are counted against the reserve available for issuance as one share for every one share granted in connection with such award, and any shares added back for such awards (if applicable) shall be added back as one share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights are counted against the reserve available for issuance in a 1.95 to 1 ratio, and any shares added back for such awards (if applicable) shall be added back as 1.95 shares if such shares were subject to other awards.

For awards granted on or after February 5, 2026, all awards will be counted against the reserve available for issuance as one share for every one share granted in connection with such award, and any shares added back for such awards (if applicable) shall be added back as one share.

 *Shares available for re-issuance under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan:* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Shares underlying awards that are forfeited, canceled, expired, or otherwise terminated without the issuance of shares.

 *Shares not available for re-issuance under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan:* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Shares delivered to, or retained by our Company, in payment of the exercise price of a stock option;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Shares delivered to, or retained by our Company, in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligations with respect to an award;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Shares covered by a stock-settled award such as a stock appreciation right that were not issued upon the settlement of the award; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds from the payment of the exercise price of a stock option.

Awards will be counted against the available share reserve on the date of grant, based on the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the award. Shares issued under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan may come from newly issued, treasury or reacquired shares, or any combination thereof.

#### Types of Awards
The 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan allows for the granting of the following types of awards:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Stock appreciation rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Restricted stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Restricted stock equivalents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Other stock-based awards; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Performance grants.

Each award granted under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan is subject to an award agreement containing the particular terms and conditions of that award, subject to the limitations imposed by the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. A participant's rights in an award may be assigned or transferred only in the event of death, or if permitted by the Committee, to certain members of the participant's immediate family.

*Stock Options*. A stock option is the right to purchase a specified number of shares for a specified exercise price. Stock options may be either (a) incentive stock options, which are stock options that meet the requirements under Section 422 of the Code and that are designated as an incentive stock option, or (b) non-qualified stock options, which are stock options that do not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or that are designated as a nonqualified stock option. Stock options (other than stock options assumed or granted in substitution for outstanding stock options of a company acquired by our Company or any affiliate) are subject to the following: (i) the exercise price shall be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares subject to such stock option on the date of grant; and (ii) the expiration date shall be no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Only employees of our Company and our affiliates may receive awards of incentive stock options, and incentive stock options are subject to additional limitations. The exercise price may be payable either in (1) cash, (2) if permitted by the Committee, by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly the proceeds from the sale of shares, (3) if permitted by the Committee, by tendering shares previously acquired, (4) if

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

permitted by the Committee, by withholding shares that would otherwise be issued having a fair market value on the exercise date equal to the exercise price, or (5) any combination of the foregoing.

*Stock Appreciation Rights*. A stock appreciation right is a right to receive cash or other property based on the increase in the value of a share over the per share exercise price. Stock appreciation rights (other than stock appreciation rights assumed or granted in substitution for outstanding stock appreciation rights of a company acquired by our Company or any affiliate) are subject to the following: (a) the exercise price shall be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares subject to such stock appreciation right on the date of grant; and (b) the expiration date shall be no later than 10 years from the date of grant.

*Restricted Stock*. Restricted Stock is an award of shares that is subject to vesting conditions. Prior to the expiration of the vesting period, a participant who has received an award of restricted stock has the right to vote and to receive dividends on the underlying unvested shares, subject, however, to the restrictions and limitations imposed pursuant to the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan and award agreement.

*Restricted Stock Equivalents*. A restricted stock equivalent is an award that is valued by reference to shares, which may be paid to a participant upon vesting in shares, cash, or other property.

*Other Stock-Based Awards*. An "other stock-based award" is an award denominated or payable in shares, other than a stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock or restricted stock equivalent. Other stock-based awards may be settled in cash, shares, or other property.

*Performance Grants*. A performance grant is a right to receive cash, shares, or other property if the terms and conditions of the performance grant are satisfied. Performance objectives may be based upon Company, business unit, participant, and/or other performance objectives. Performance grants include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock equivalents, and other stock-based awards that are subject to performance vesting conditions.

*Dividend Equivalents*. Awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights may include the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions, or limitations, if any, as the Committee may establish. However, dividends and dividend equivalents may be paid with respect to any award only if, when and to the extent that the award vests, and until such time, dividends and dividend equivalents may be held in escrow (with or without the accrual of interest) or be reinvested into additional shares subject to the same vesting or performance conditions as the award on which they are payable.

#### Award Limits
*Non-Employee Director Award Limits*. The aggregate maximum fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares granted under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan in a calendar year in respect of services as a non-employee director may not exceed $500,000, and the maximum amount that may be paid in a calendar year to any non-employee director in property other than shares (including cash) in respect of services as a non-employee director may not exceed $500,000.

*Employee and Consultant Award Limits*. The maximum number of shares that may be granted to any employee or consultant during any one calendar year under all awards is 500,000, and the maximum amount of cash that may be paid to any employee or consultant during any one calendar year under all performance grants shall be $20,000,000.

 *Minimum Vesting Periods* 

All awards must be subject to a minimum vesting period of at least one year, except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • up to a maximum of five percent of the number of shares available under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan may be issued without regard for any minimum vesting period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • in the event of the death, disability, or retirement of the participant, or involuntary termination other than for cause of the participant's service, or in connection with a change of control of our Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • for awards assumed or granted in substitution for outstanding awards of a company acquired by our Company or any affiliate.

#### Tax Withholding
The exercise or payment of awards and the issuance of shares under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan is conditioned upon a participant making satisfactory arrangements for the satisfaction of any liability to withhold federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes. In accordance with rules established by the Committee, the required tax withholding obligations may be settled in cash, or with shares, including shares that are part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Change of Control of our Company
The Committee may provide in an award agreement provisions relating to a "change of control" of our Company, including without limitation the acceleration of the exercisability, vesting or settlement of, or the lapse of restrictions or deemed satisfaction of performance objectives with respect to, an award; provided that, in addition to any other conditions provided for in the award agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any acceleration of the exercisability, vesting or settlement of, or the lapse of restrictions or deemed satisfaction of performance objectives with respect to, an award in connection with a change of control may occur only if (i) the change of control occurs, and (ii) either (A) the employment of the participant is terminated ("double-trigger") or (B) the acquirer does not agree to the assumption or substitution of outstanding awards; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • for any award that is earned or vested based upon achievement of performance objectives, any amount deemed earned or vested in connection with a change of control or associated termination of employment shall be based upon the degree of performance attainment through the date of such change of control or associated termination of employment, as applicable, with such amount either paid in full or paid pro rata based on the period of time elapsed in the performance period as of the applicable date, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

"Change of control" means the occurrence of a change of control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, whether or not our Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided that, without limitation, a change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if a "change in control" occurs within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

#### Recoupment/Clawback
Notwithstanding anything in the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan or in any award agreement to the contrary, awards and shares paid thereunder are subject to reduction, cancellation, repayment, forfeiture or recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy adopted by our Company, including, but not limited to, the Edgewell Personal Care Company Compensation Recovery Policy, and any clawback requirements imposed under applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Exchange Act) and any applicable rules, regulations or standards adopted by the SEC thereunder (including Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act) and any applicable rules or standards adopted by the exchange on which our Company's shares are traded pursuant to Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (including Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual), in each case as in effect from time to time.

#### Provisions for Foreign Participants
The Committee may modify awards granted to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish, amend or rescind rules, sub-plans or procedures under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan to recognize differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefits or other matters.

#### Adjustments
In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of our Company by reason of any corporate transaction or change in corporate capitalization such as a stock split, stock dividend, split-up, split-off, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, rights offering, reorganization, combination, consolidation, subdivision or exchange of shares, a sale by our Company of all or part of our assets, any distribution to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend, partial or complete liquidation of our Company or similar event, the Committee or Board, as applicable, shall adjust the:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • class and aggregate number of shares available under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • individual award maximum limits under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • class, number and exercise price of outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan; and

#### Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of 3 <sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan Awards
The following discussion is intended to provide only a general outline of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the 3rd A&R 2018 Plan and the receipt of awards or payments thereunder by participants subject to U.S. taxes. It does not address any other taxes imposed by the United States, taxes imposed by any state or political subdivision thereof or foreign jurisdiction, or the tax consequences applicable to participants who are not subject to U.S. taxes.

*Nonqualified stock options*. A participant who exercises a nonqualified stock option recognizes taxable ordinary income in the year the stock option is exercised in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased on the exercise date over the exercise price. Subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company is entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant. Any gain or loss realized by the participant upon the subsequent disposition of the shares will be taxed as short-term (if held one year or less) or long-term (if held more than one year) capital gain but will not result in any further deduction for the Company.

*Incentive stock options*. A participant who exercises an incentive stock option does not recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise (although, the participant may be subject to alternative minimum tax), and the Company is not entitled to a tax deduction. Upon the disposition of the shares obtained from the exercise of the incentive stock option more than two years after the date of grant and one year after the date of exercise, the excess of the sale price of the shares over the exercise price of the incentive stock option is taxed as long-term capital gain. If the shares are sold within two years of the grant date and/or one year of the date of exercise, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or sale proceeds if less) over the exercise price is taxed as ordinary income, and, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for this amount; any remaining gain is taxed as short-term capital gain, without a Company tax deduction.

*Stock appreciation rights*. A participant who exercises a stock appreciation right recognizes taxable ordinary income in the year the stock appreciation right is exercised in an amount equal to the cash and/or the fair market value of any shares or other property received. Subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company is entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant.

*Restricted stock and restricted stock equivalents*. A participant normally will not recognize taxable income and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction upon the grant of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock equivalents, or other stock-based awards. When the restricted stock vests or the restricted stock equivalents settle or the other stock-based awards are paid or settle, the participant will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares or other property received at that time, less the amount, if any, paid for the shares, and, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company will be entitled at that time to a deduction in the same amount. However, a participant may elect to recognize taxable ordinary income in the year shares of restricted stock are granted in an amount equal to the excess of their fair market value at the grant date, determined without regard to certain restrictions, over the amount, if any, paid for the shares. In that event, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company will be entitled to a deduction in such year in the same amount. Any gain or loss realized by the participant upon the subsequent disposition of shares received will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain but will not result in any further deduction for the Company.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

*Parachute Payments*. Awards that are granted, accelerated or enhanced upon the occurrence of a change of control may give rise, in whole or in part, to "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and, to such extent, will be non-deductible by our Company and subject to a 20 percent excise tax on the recipient.

*State, Local and Foreign Tax Consequences*. State and local tax consequences may in some cases differ from the federal tax consequences discussed above. In addition, awards under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan may be made to employees who are subject to tax in jurisdictions other than the United States and may result in consequences different from those described above.

#### Other Tax Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Code places a $1 million annual limit on the compensation deductible by our Company that is paid to certain covered employees.

#### New Plan Benefits
The benefits or amounts to be received by or allocated to participants and the number of shares to be granted under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan cannot be determined at this time because the amount and form of grants to be made to any eligible participant in any year is determined at the discretion of the Committee or Board, as applicable. It is contemplated that any annual restricted stock equivalent awards to non-employee directors and any new non-employee director restricted stock equivalent awards would be made under the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. See "Corporate Governance — Non-Employee Director Compensation."

#### Aggregate Awards Granted
The following table sets for information with respect to the number of shares subject to awards previously granted under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, since its inception through November 28, 2025, our record date, to each NEO, all current executive officers as a group, all current directors who are not executive officers as a group, each nominee for election as a director, each associate of such directors, executive officers or nominees and all employees, including all current officers who are not executive officers, as a group. No associates of any director, director nominee or executive officer has received or as determined at this time, will receive available shares under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, and there is no person who has received or as determined at this time, will receive 5% or more of the available shares under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated.

### PROXY STATEMENT — VOTING PROCEDURES & MEETING FAQS

#### YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
**The Board is soliciting proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting.** The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies by the Company. We have hired Alliance Advisors, LLC, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist us in soliciting proxies for a fee of $33,000 plus reasonable expenses.

#### How to Receive Printed Materials
We have elected to take advantage of the SEC's rule that allows us to furnish proxy materials to you online. We believe electronic delivery expedites shareholders' receipt of materials, while lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting by reducing printing and mailing full sets of materials. On or about December 22, 2025, we will mail to many of our shareholders a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials ("Internet Notice") containing instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K online. If you receive an Internet Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request one. The Internet Notice contains instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the materials. ***In furtherance of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, this year we have again partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation***<sup>®</sup> ***so that for each shareholder who chooses to receive an e-version of our Proxy Statement, Edgewell will make a donation to plant one tree.*** 

#### Who Can Vote
Shareholders of Edgewell Personal Care Company ("Edgewell" or "Company") common stock on the record date of November 28, 2025 may vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. On November 28, 2025, there were 46,715,107 shares of common stock outstanding. The shares of common stock held in our treasury will not be voted.

#### How You Can Vote
There are four voting methods for shareholders:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_mail-bw.jpg]](ic_mail-bw.jpg)  | <u>Voting by MAIL</u>. If you received a paper copy of the proxy materials, and if you choose to vote by mail, then complete a proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_telephone-bw.jpg]](ic_telephone-bw.jpg)  | <u>Voting by TELEPHONE</u>. You can vote your shares by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and using the control number indicated on the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card mailed to you. Voting is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_internet-bw.jpg]](ic_internet-bw.jpg)  | <u>Voting by INTERNET</u>. You can also vote via the Internet at <u>www.proxyvote.com</u>. Your control number for Internet voting is on the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card mailed to you, and voting is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  |
| ![[MISSING IMAGE: ic_votinginperson-bw.jpg]](ic_votinginperson-bw.jpg)  | <u>Voting in PERSON at the Annual Meeting</u>.  |

---

Votes submitted electronically over the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 4, 2026.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record in order to vote such shares at the Annual Meeting. Otherwise, you must follow the instructions given to you by such bank, broker, or other holder of shares. See "Beneficial Owners and Broker Non-Votes" below.

If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you should not return a proxy card.

#### Who Counts the Votes
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") has been engaged as our independent agent to tabulate shareholder votes. If you are a shareholder of record, and you choose to vote over the internet prior to the Annual Meeting or by telephone, Broadridge will access and tabulate your votes electronically, and if you have requested and

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

received proxy materials by mail or email and choose to sign and mail your proxy card, your executed proxy card will be returned directly to Broadridge for tabulation. If you hold your shares through a broker, your broker (or its agent for tabulating votes of shares held in "street name") will return one proxy card to Broadridge on behalf of all its clients.

#### How You May Revoke or Change Your Vote
You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • sending written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • submitting another properly completed proxy by telephone, Internet, or mail; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • attending the Annual Meeting and voting your shares by ballot.

#### General Information on Voting
You are entitled to cast one vote for each share of common stock you own on the Record Date. If you are a shareholder of record and you do not submit a proxy or vote in person, no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the items of business at the Annual Meeting. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum.

The election of each director nominee, the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026, the approval of the executive compensation by advisory (non-binding) vote, and the approval of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan, must be approved by a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the respective matter. Our Corporate Governance Principles require that any director-nominee who receives a number of votes cast in favor of their election that is less than a majority of the number of votes cast on the matter at a duly held meeting of the Company's shareholders shall tender their resignation from the Board, which resignation shall be effective only upon its acceptance by the Board. In each such case, the Corporate Governance Committee will consider any such tendered resignation and, within a reasonable period of time, make a recommendation to the Board. The Corporate Governance Committee may consider any factors it deems relevant in deciding whether to recommend that the Board accept a director's resignation. The Board will act following the receipt of the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee and will publicly disclose its decision. If the Board determines not to accept any such resignation, the Board will publicly disclose a detailed explanation of the rationale behind such decision within 60 days from the date such resignation is tendered.

Shareholders do not have the right to vote cumulatively in electing directors. Shares represented by a proxy marked "against" or "abstain" on any matter will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote but will not be considered to have voted in favor of any proposal. Therefore, any proxy marked "against" or "abstain" will have the effect of a vote against each of the proposals before the Annual Meeting.

While the shareholder votes to approve executive compensation is advisory and not binding on our Company, our Board and the HC&CC of our Board, which is responsible for administering our executive compensation programs, are interested in the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their vote on these proposals and will consider the outcome of the votes when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

In the event that the appointment of PwC is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent auditors for fiscal 2027. Even if the appointment of PwC is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent auditor at any time if it determines that such a change is in the best interest of the Company.

All shares for which proxies have been properly submitted — whether by telephone, Internet, or mail — and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you sign a proxy card but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by our Board.

If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the persons named in your properly submitted proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no other matters have been raised for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

#### Beneficial Owners and Broker Non-Votes
If your shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of the shares, which are held in "street name." If you hold your shares in street name, you can instruct the broker, bank or other nominee who is the shareholder of record how to vote these shares by using the voting instructions given to you by the broker, bank, or other nominee.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

The broker, bank, or other nominee may vote the shares in the absence of your voting instructions only with regard to "routine" matters. The election of directors, the advisory (non-binding) vote to approve executive compensation and approval of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan are considered "non-routine" matters and, accordingly, if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote in these matters, no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect to these matters.

Your broker, bank or other nominee does, however, have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the ratification of the appointment of our accounting firm. If the broker, bank or other nominee votes the uninstructed shares on the ratification of the accounting firm (either personally or by proxy), these shares may be considered as "present" for quorum purposes but will not be deemed voted on other matters and will be considered "broker non-votes" with respect to such other matters.

Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors, the advisory (non-binding) vote to approve executive compensation or approval of the 3<sup>rd</sup> A&R 2018 Plan. We do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditor.

### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

#### CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Our Board has adopted a written policy regarding the review and approval or ratification of transactions involving our Company and our directors, nominees for directors, executive officers, immediate family members of these individuals, and shareholders owning 5% or more of our outstanding common stock, each of whom is referred to as a related party. The policy covers any related party transaction, arrangement, or relationship where a related party has a direct or indirect material interest and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year. Under the policy, the Audit Committee of our Board is responsible for reviewing and approving, or ratifying, the material terms of any related party transactions.

The Audit Committee is charged with determining whether the terms of the transaction are any less favorable than those generally available from unaffiliated third parties and determining the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction.

Our legal department is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and procedures to obtain information from our directors and executive officers with respect to related party transactions. During fiscal 2025, there were no transactions with executive officers, directors or their immediate family members which were in an amount in excess of $120,000, and in which any such person had a direct or indirect material interest.

#### OTHER BUSINESS
Our Board knows of no other business which will be presented at the Annual Meeting other than that described above. Our bylaws provide that shareholders may nominate candidates for director or present a proposal or bring other business before an annual meeting only if they give timely written notice of the nomination or the matter to be brought not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year's meeting, as described under "Shareholder Proposals for 2026 Annual Meeting."

#### DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS
**Householding of Annual Meeting Materials**. The SEC has approved a rule permitting the delivery of a single Internet Notice and set of proxy materials (if paper copies of such documents have been delivered or requested), to any household at which two or more shareholders reside, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders residing in such household. Each shareholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as "householding," reduces the volume of duplicate information you receive, as well as our expenses. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, we will deliver only one copy of the Internet Notice or proxy materials (if paper copies of such documents have been delivered or requested) to multiple shareholders who share an address, unless we receive instructions to the contrary from the impacted shareholders prior to the mailing date. If you prefer to receive separate copies of our Internet Notice, our Proxy Statement or Annual Report on Form 10-K, either now or in the future, we will promptly deliver, upon your written or oral request submitted as set forth below, a separate copy of the Internet, Proxy Statement or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable and as requested, to any shareholder at your address to which a single copy was delivered. If you and other shareholders in your household are currently receiving multiple copies of the Internet Notice or this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K (if paper copies of such documents have been delivered or requested) and would like only one copy to be sent to your household, upon your written or oral request, we will discontinue delivering multiple copies of such document(s) to your household and only deliver one copy. Notice should be given to the Corporate Secretary, Edgewell Personal Care Company, 6 Research Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484, Telephone No. (203) 944-5500.

#### SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2027 ANNUAL MEETING
Any proposals to be presented at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("2027 Annual Meeting") must be received by our Company, directed to the attention of our Corporate Secretary, no later than August 24, 2026 in order to be included in our Company's Proxy Statement and form of proxy for that meeting under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Upon receipt of any proposal, our Company will determine whether or not to include the proposal in the Proxy Statement and proxy card in accordance with regulations governing the solicitation of proxies. The proposal must comply in all respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

In order for a shareholder to nominate a candidate for director under our bylaws, timely notice of the nomination must be received by us in advance of the meeting. Ordinarily, such notice must be received not less than 90, nor more than 120, days before the first anniversary of the prior year's meeting. For the 2027 Annual Meeting, the notice would have to be received between October 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026. However, in the event that (i) no annual meeting is held in 2027, or (ii) the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting, notice must be received no earlier than the 120th day prior to the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting, or the seventh day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or on which public notice of the meeting was given. The notice of nomination must include the information required by, and otherwise comply with the requirements of, the Company's bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request to our Corporate Secretary.

In order for a shareholder to bring other business before a shareholder meeting, timely notice must be received by our Company during the same period as director nominations described above. Such notice must also include the information required by, and otherwise comply with the requirements of, the Company's bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request to our Corporate Secretary.

Shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in reliance on the SEC's universal proxy rule for director nominees submitted under the advance notice requirements of our Bylaws must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b). We encourage shareholders who wish to submit a proposal or nomination to seek independent counsel. Shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth any additional information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than December 7, 2026. Edgewell will not consider any proposal or nomination that is not timely or otherwise does not meet the Bylaws and SEC requirements. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

In each case, the notice must be given to our Corporate Secretary, whose address is Edgewell Personal Care Company, 6 Research Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484. A copy of our Bylaws will be provided without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) any combination of the foregoing.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

in its discretion, determine. The Committee may, in its discretion, determine whether any deferral in the form of Common Stock equivalents, including deferrals under the terms of any deferred compensation plans of the Company, shall be paid on distribution in the form of cash or in shares of Common Stock. To the extent Section 409A is applicable, all actions pursuant to this Section 12.2 must satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, including but not limited to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) a Participant's election to defer must be filed at such time as designated by the Committee, but in no event later than the December 31 preceding the first day of the calendar year in which the services are performed which relate to the compensation or Award being deferred. An election may not be revoked or modified after such December 31. However, notwithstanding the previous two sentences, if the compensation or Award is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the Participant's continued services for a period of at least 12 months from the date the Participant obtains the legally binding right to the compensation or Award, the Committee may permit a Participant to file an election on or before the 30th day after the Participant obtains the legally binding right to the compensation or Award, provided that the election is filed at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) a Participant's election to defer must include the time and form of payment, within the parameters made available by the Committee, and such timing of payment must comply with Section 409A; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) if payment is triggered due to the Participant's termination of employment or separation from service, such termination or separation must be a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A, and, for purposes of any such provision of the Plan or an election, references to a "termination," "termination of employment" or like terms shall mean such a separation from service. The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred for this purpose shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations, unless the Committee has established other rules in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. If payment is made due to a Participant's separation from service, and if at the time of the Participant's separation from service, the Participant is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A(2)(B)), then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Participant becomes entitled to under this provision on account of such separation from service would be considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, such payment or benefit shall be paid or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after such separation from service, and (ii) the date of the Participant's death (the "Delay Period"). All payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this provision shall be paid in a lump sum upon expiration of the Delay Period.

#### SECTION 13. DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.1. <u>Adjustment for Corporate Transaction or Change in Corporate Capitalization</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.2. <u>Adjustment for Merger or Consolidation</u>. In the event of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction as a result of which the holders of shares of Common Stock receive consideration consisting exclusively of securities of the surviving entity (or the parent of the surviving entity) in such transaction, the Committee or Board, as applicable, shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee or Board, as applicable, adjust each Award outstanding on the date of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction so that it pertains and applies to the securities which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award would have received in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.3. <u>Assumption or Substitution of Awards</u>. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (on a consolidated basis); or a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company in which the holders of shares of Common Stock receive securities and/or other property, including cash, other than shares of the surviving entity in such transaction (or the parent of such surviving entity), the Committee or Board, as applicable, shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee or Board, as applicable, have the power to provide for the exchange of each Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested) for an Award with respect to: (a) some or all of the property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award would

have received in such transaction; or (b) securities of the acquirer or surviving entity (or parent of such acquirer or surviving entity) and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee or Board, as applicable, in the exercise price of the Award, or the number of shares or amount of property subject to the Award or provide for a payment (in cash or other property) to the Participant to whom such Award was granted in partial consideration for the exchange of the Award; provided, however, that in the event that the acquirer does not agree to the assumption or substitution of Awards in the foregoing manner, the Committee shall, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee or Board, as applicable, have the power to cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Award (whether or not then exercisable or vested), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Award was granted an amount in cash, for each share of Common Stock subject to such Award, equal to the value, as determined by the Committee or Board, as applicable, of such Award, provided that with respect to any outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right such value shall be equal to the excess of (i) the value, as determined by the Committee or Board, as applicable, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of shares of Common Stock as a result of such event, over (ii) the exercise price of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, provided further that the value of any outstanding Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be zero where the exercise price of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is greater than the value, as determined by the Committee or Board, as applicable, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of shares of Common Stock as a result of such event; and that no change to the original timing of payment will be made to the extent it would violate Section 409A.

#### SECTION 14. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY BY PARTICIPANT
A Participant may designate a beneficiary to exercise, or to receive any payment or settlement to which he may be entitled in respect of, any Award under the Plan in the event of his death in a manner determined by the Committee in its discretion. If a Participant did not designate a beneficiary under this Section 14, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant and is living on the date on which any amount becomes payable to such Participant, the term "beneficiary" as used in the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be deemed to be the legal representatives of the Participant's estate. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a settlement or payment of (or to exercise) an Award under the Plan, the Committee in its discretion may determine that the Award in question be settled or paid to (or exercised by) the legal representatives of the Participant's estate, in which event the Company, the Board and the Committee and the members thereof will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such Award.

#### SECTION 15. AMENDMENT OF PLAN OR AWARDS
The Plan may be amended in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by the Board, and the terms of any outstanding Award under the Plan may be amended from time to time by the Committee or Board, as applicable, in its discretion in any manner that it deems necessary or appropriate; provided however, that no amendment may be made without shareholder approval if such amendment would:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) increase the number of shares available for grant specified in Section 5.1 (other than pursuant to Section 13);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) decrease the minimum Stock Option exercise price set forth in Section 7.2 or the minimum Stock Appreciation Rights exercise price set forth in Section 8.2 (in each case, other than changes made pursuant to Section 13);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) reduce the minimum vesting or performance periods set forth in Section 7.4, Section 8.4, Section 9.5, Section 10.3 or Section 11.3;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) change the Award limits set forth in Section 5.2 or Section 6.3 (other than pursuant to Section 13); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) amend or repeal the prohibition against repricing or exchange set forth in Section 3.3.

No such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of a Participant under an Award without his written consent. Any shareholder approval requirement under the Plan will be met if such approval is obtained in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to the Plan or any outstanding Award under the Plan shall be made in a manner as to ensure that an Award intended to be exempt from Section 409A will continue to be exempt from Section 409A and that an Award intended to comply with Section 409A will continue to comply with Section 409A.

#### SECTION 16. PLAN TERMINATION
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.1. <u>Suspension</u>. The Plan may be suspended in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by the Board

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 16.2. <u>Termination</u>. The Plan shall terminate upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan. No Award may be granted under the Plan after the date that is 10 years from the date the Plan was last approved and adopted

by the shareholders of the Company. No termination of the Plan shall materially alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any person, without his consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, except that subsequent to termination of the Plan, the Committee may make amendments permitted under Section 15.

#### SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.1. <u>Loans</u>. No loans from the Company or any Affiliate to a Participant shall be permitted in connection with the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.2. <u>Reservation of Rights of Company</u>. No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee or other person any right to continue to be employed by or perform services for the Company or any Affiliate, and the right to terminate the employment of or performance of services by any Participant at any time and for any reason is specifically reserved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.3. <u>Non-Uniform Treatment</u>. Determinations made by the Committee under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among eligible individuals under the Plan, whether or not such eligible individuals are similarly situated.

No Participant or other person shall have any right with respect to the Plan, the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan or in any Award, contingent or otherwise, until written evidence of the Award shall have been delivered to the recipient and all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and the Award applicable to such recipient (and each person claiming under or through him) have been met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.5. <u>Rights as a Shareholder</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, a Participant holding Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Equivalents, Other Stock-Based Awards, Performance Grants or other Awards shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock (or as a holder with respect to other securities), if any, issuable pursuant to any such Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him or the entry on his behalf of an uncertificated book position on the records of the Company's transfer agent and registrar for such shares of Common Stock or other instrument of ownership, if any. Except as provided in Section 13, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities, other property or other forms of consideration, or any combination thereof) for which the record date is prior to the date such book entry is made or a stock certificate or other instrument of ownership, if any, is issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.6. <u>Compliance with Applicable Laws</u>. No shares of Common Stock or other property shall be issued or paid hereunder with respect to any Award unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable federal, state, local and foreign legal, securities exchange and other applicable requirements. The Company shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state or local laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.7. <u>Withholding of Taxes</u>. The Company and its Affiliates shall have the right to deduct from any payment made under the Plan the federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. In accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee, the required withholding obligations may be settled with shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement (up to the Participant's minimum required tax withholding rate or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accounting impact). It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other property, or any combination thereof, upon exercise, settlement or payment of any Award under the Plan, that the Participant pay to the Company, upon its demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any liability to withhold federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes. If the amount requested is not paid, the Company may refuse to issue or pay shares of Common Stock or other property, or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit an eligible Participant to elect to pay a portion or all of the amount requested by the Company for such taxes with respect to such Award, at such time and in such manner as the Committee shall deem to be appropriate (including, but not limited to, by authorizing the Company to withhold, or agreeing to surrender to the Company on or about the date such tax liability is determinable, shares of Common Stock or other property, or any combination thereof that would otherwise be distributed, or have been distributed, as the case may be, pursuant to such Award to such person, having a fair market value equal to the amount of such taxes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.8. <u>Unfunded Nature of Plan</u>. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan, and the rights to the payment of Awards shall be no greater than the rights of the Company's general creditors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.9. <u>Consent</u>. By accepting any Award or other benefit under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through him shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.10. <u>No Warranty of Tax Effect</u>. Although the Company may structure an Award to qualify for favorable federal, state, local or foreign tax treatment, or to avoid adverse tax treatment, no person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and its directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that any intended tax treatment will be applicable with respect to any Award under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant or his or her beneficiary. Furthermore, the existence of an Award shall not affect the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to take any corporate action, regardless of the potential effect of such action on the tax treatment of an Award under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.11. <u>Interpretation</u>. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to "Sections" in the Plan refer to Sections of the Plan. Headings of Sections herein are inserted only for convenience of reference and are not to be considered in the construction of the Plan. In the Plan, the use of the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine and the use of the singular shall include the plural, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.12. <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall: (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.13. <u>Choice of Law</u>. The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan, and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan and to Awards granted under the Plan, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Missouri.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.14. <u>Venue</u>. Any legal action against the Plan, the Company, an Affiliate, or the Committee may only be brought in the Circuit Court in St. Louis County or the United States District Court in St. Louis, Missouri.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.15. <u>Section 409A</u>. Awards granted under the Plan are intended to qualify for an exception from or comply with Section 409A, and the Plan and Award Agreements shall be administered, construed, and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A, the Award shall be granted, paid, settled, or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A and any Section 409A compliance policy of the Company. To the extent any payment of an Award may be classified as a "short-term deferral" within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment will be deemed a short-term deferral, even if it may also qualify for an exemption from Section 409A under another provision of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, if a Participant is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section409A(2)(B)) as of the date of such Participant's separation from service (as determined pursuant to Section 409A), then to the extent any Award payable to such Participant on account of such separation from service would be considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, such payment or benefit shall be paid or provided in a lump sum upon expiration of the Delay Period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, any provision of the Plan that would cause the grant of an Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof to fail exemption from or compliance with Section 409A may be amended to qualify for exemption from or comply with Section 409A, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with Section 409A.

#### SECTION 18. SHAREHOLDER ADOPTION
The Plan originally became effective upon the approval and adoption of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company on January 26, 2018. The Plan, as amended and restated, shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for their approval and adoption at a meeting to be held on February 5, 2026, or at any adjournment thereof. The shareholders shall be deemed to have approved and adopted the Plan, as amended and restated, only if it is approved and adopted at a meeting of the shareholders duly held by vote taken in the manner required by the laws of the State of Missouri.

### APPENDIX A

#### RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In the Proxy Statement , we present certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as "adjusted" or "organic" and exclude items which are considered by the Company as unusual or non-recurring, and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period. This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. Given certain significant events, we view the use of non-GAAP measures that take into account the impact of these unique events as particularly valuable in understanding our underlying operational results and providing insights into future performance. The information can also be used to perform analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This non-GAAP information is a component in determining management's incentive compensation. Finally, the Company believes this information provides a higher degree of transparency. The following provides additional detail on the Company's non-GAAP measures.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Net Sales to Adjusted Net Sales and a summary of key results for fiscal 2025 with corresponding reconciliations.

The following provides additional detail on our Company's non-GAAP measures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Our Company analyzes our net sales on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency. This information is provided because these fluctuations can distort the underlying change in net sales either positively or negatively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Adjusted net sales is defined as net sales, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency versus plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization and excludes items which are considered by our Company as unusual or non-recurring, and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our Company's financial results in any particular period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Additionally, we utilize "adjusted" non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling general and administrative ("SG&A"), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted net earnings per share internally to make operating decisions.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net sales to adjusted net sales for fiscal 2025.
