(e) Adoption and Approval of Duluth Holdings Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan and Duluth Holdings Inc. Executive General Severance Plan

On April 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Duluth Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved the Duluth Holdings Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”) and the Duluth Holdings Inc. Executive General Severance Plan (“the General Severance Plan, and together with the Change in Control Severance Plan, the “Severance Plans”). Certain of the Company’s executive officers, have been designated as participants in the Severance Plans, including Dave Loretta, SVP & Chief Financial Officer; Dave Homolka, SVP, Talent, DE&I, Retail Operations; Chris Teufel, SVP, Technology & Logistics; Ricker Schlecht, SVP, Product, Merchandising & Inventory; Neala Shepherd, SVP, Customer Experience; and Mike Murphy, VP, Chief Accounting Officer. The Company’s CEO, Sam Sato, was not designated as a participant in the Severance Plans as he is entitled to severance benefits under his employment agreement, which was previously filed. Steve Schlecht, our founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, was also not designated a participant in the Severance Plans.

The Severance Plans provide the participant with severance benefits in the event of certain Qualifying Terminations. Qualifying Terminations include an involuntary termination of the participant’s employment other than for Cause (as defined in the Severance Plans) or as a result of a voluntary termination for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Plans). The level of severance benefits provided vary dependent on the position held by the participant and the relevant Severance Plan. As a condition to participating, executives must sign a restrictive covenant agreement.

The Severance Plans do not provide for any severance benefits related to equity incentive awards upon a Qualifying Termination. The treatment of equity awards that are outstanding are determined under the applicable equity incentive plan and the related award agreement.

The above descriptions of the Severance Plans are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Severance Plans, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference.
