Duluth Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) will hold its 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 24, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Meeting”).  The record date for the 2018 Annual Meeting will be March 15, 2018.


The Company’s proxy statement filed on May 26, 2017 provided that the deadline to bring shareholder proposed nominations or other business pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) was no earlier than March 20, 2018 and no later than April 19, 2018.  The Company’s Bylaws provide that if the Company’s annual meeting is convened more than 30 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, then the Company may give notice to shareholders that the deadline to bring shareholder proposed nominations or other business pursuant to the Bylaws must be no later than the close of business on the tenth day following such notice.  The 2018 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on July 18, 2017.  In light of the foregoing, the Company has set a deadline of January 26, 2018 for shareholders of the Company to bring shareholder proposed nominations or other business pursuant to the Bylaws, which is the same deadline as the one pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for inclusion of shareholder proposals in our proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting.


All shareholder proposed nominations or other business submitted pursuant to our Bylaws must be directed to Dave Loretta, Chief Financial Officer or Duluth Holdings Inc., 170 Countryside Drive, P.O. Box 409, Belleville, Wisconsin 53508. The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal or director nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.
