Our policy is to not grant stock options or similar awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our Common Stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and not time the public release of such information based on stock option grant dates. In addition, it is our policy to not grant stock options or similar awards during periods in which there is material nonpublic information about VF, including (i) during “blackout” periods or outside a “trading window” established in connection with the public release of earnings information under our insider trading policy or (ii) at any time during the four business days prior to or the one business day following an earnings announcement. These restrictions do not apply to RSUs or other types of equity awards that do not include an exercise price related to the market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

Our NEOs are not permitted to choose the grant date for their individual stock option grants. In fiscal 2026, VF did not award stock options to NEOs or our directors.
