ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On December 18, 2023, having reached the mandatory retirement age, Patricia Salas Pineda, a Class III director, retired from the Levi Strauss & Co’s. (the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Company’s corporate governance guidelines provide that a director is deemed to have resigned automatically upon the director’s 72nd birthday unless the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Citizenship Committee of the Board (the “NGCC Committee”) or the Board, upon recommendation from the NGCC Committee, waives this requirement. Ms. Pineda served on the Company’s Board since 1991 and she most recently served as a member of the NGCC Committee and the Finance Committee of the Board. Ms. Pineda’s retirement is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

The Board intends to fill the resulting vacancy in due course pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Following Ms. Pineda’s departure, the Board consists of eleven directors.
