    Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
    On May 31, 2025, Kontoor Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of CTC Triangle B.V., a Netherlands private limited liability company, which is the parent of a group of companies (the “Group Companies”) operating Helly Hansen, the global outdoor and workwear brand (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2025, among the Company, Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited and Kontoor Nordic Holdings AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company filed the Purchase Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2025 as Exhibit 2 to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 18, 2025.
    The consideration paid for the Acquisition was approximately $960 million, which includes working capital and other closing adjustments. The Company financed the Acquisition through a combination of excess cash on hand and by borrowing under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2025. The Company filed its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2025 as Exhibit 10.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 8, 2025.
    Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
    (b) On June 2, 2025, Andrew E. Page resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) including all committees thereof, effective immediately, and the size of the Board was reduced to seven members.
    Mr. Page was a member of the Audit Committee and the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Page resigned voluntarily in conjunction with the closing of the Acquisition as Helly Hansen is a competitor to a brand owned by the company where Mr. Page currently serves as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Page’s decision was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Page was a valued member of the Board of Directors and the Company thanks Mr. Page for his service and contributions to the Company.
    Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
    (a) The required financial statements of the Group Companies will be filed by amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K not later than August 15, 2025 (which is 71 calendar days after the date that this initial Current Report on Form 8-K is required to be filed).
