## Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(d) Election of Directors

There are no family relationships between Mr. Wilson and any other director or executive officer of the Company nor are there any transactions between Mr. Wilson or any member of his immediate family and the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would be reportable as a related party transaction under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Wilson is independent under the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines and applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board has appointed Mr. Wilson to serve as a member of the Strategy Committee.

Mr. Wilson will receive compensation as a director of the Company consistent with that paid to other non-employee directors of the Company. As such, Mr. Wilson is entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $55,000, which for fiscal 2026 will be prorated for his period of service. In addition, non-employee directors of the Company are entitled to receive an annual equity grant of service-based restricted stock units under the Company's Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan with a grant date fair value of $55,000. The restricted stock units will vest on the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company following the grant of units, subject to Mr. Wilson's continued service on the Board. Given the date of Mr. Wilson's election to the Board, he will not be eligible to receive an annual equity grant of service-based restricted stock units until following the Company's 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company intends to enter into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Wilson in the form filed as Exhibit 10.16 to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2025.
