Item 5.02 Other Events.

On May 30, 2017, Mark M. DeOrio, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Duluth Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), notified the Company of his intent to retire after nearly seven years of service to the Company. Mr. DeOrio’s retirement will be effective on a date to be mutually agreed upon by Mr. DeOrio and the Company, but no later than December 31, 2017 (the “Separation Date”). In connection with his planned retirement, the Company and Mr. DeOrio have entered into a letter agreement under which, after the effective date of his retirement, Mr. DeOrio will continue to be employed by the Company in his current capacity and at his current level of salary and benefits and is eligible for prorated participation in the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan through December 31, 2017. Following the Separation Date, the Company will pay Mr. DeOrio in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.2(c) of Mr. DeOrio’s employment agreement dated August 5, 2015. From the date of the letter agreement through the Separation Date, Mr. DeOrio’s previously granted equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms and conditions, but Mr. DeOrio will no longer be eligible for long-term equity incentive grants under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

The foregoing descriptions of the letter agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. On June 1, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing Mr. DeOrio’s planned retirement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company is currently conducting a search to identify Mr. DeOrio’s successor.
