lululemon Responds to Chip Wilson’s Statements

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lululemon athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) (“lululemon” or the “company”) today commented on Chip Wilson’s press release in relation to his nomination of three director candidates to stand for election to the company’s Board at lululemon’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders:

We have continued to engage with Mr. Wilson in good faith over the past few months, including numerous meetings, with the goal of having a productive dialogue with him. We disagree with Mr. Wilson’s characterization of his interactions with the Board.

The Board has repeatedly requested the opportunity to interview Mr. Wilson’s director nominees. However, Mr. Wilson had indicated he would not allow the Board to meet with these individuals unless the Board agreed to a full set of settlement terms. To date, Mr. Wilson has only allowed one nominee, Marc Maurer, to have preliminary conversations with the Board, which the Board has welcomed. It is unfortunate that Mr. Wilson has been unwilling to have a constructive dialogue toward a reasonable resolution.

The Board remains open to engaging with Mr. Wilson as well as the company’s other shareholders and will continue to take actions that we believe are in the best interests of all of the company’s shareholders.
