ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of

On April

as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Growth Officer.

To facilitate

the transition and enable continuity, the Company and Mr. Singh have entered into a transition and separation agreement dated April 3,

2026 (the “Separation Agreement”) which will allow the Company to leverage Mr. Singh’s long tenure and Company expertise

as Special Advisor beginning on the Transition Date and continuing through November 30, 2026 (such date, the “Separation Date,”

and such period, the “Term”). During the Term, Mr. Singh will provide advisory and transition-related services as may reasonably

be requested by the Company and will continue to receive his current base salary and remain eligible to earn an annual incentive award

for the Company’s 2026 fiscal year, without proration, subject to the terms and conditions of the annual incentive plan.

Upon

the Separation Date, in lieu of receiving severance provided under the Senior Executive Severance Plan, Mr. Singh will be entitled to

receive $3 million in cash severance, which will be payable in installments over 78 weeks, subsidized COBRA continuation coverage for

78 weeks, and certain other benefits and perquisites consistent with those provided to in-service executives through the end of 2027.

All payments

and benefits under the Separation Agreement are subject to Mr. Singh’s execution and non-revocation of a general release agreement.

Mr. Singh’s

transition is not the result of any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s accounting principles

or practices, financial statement disclosures or policies.

The foregoing

summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Separation Agreement which will be filed with the Company’s

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending May 31, 2026.

release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 with respect to the matters set forth in Item 5.02 above. The information in Item 7.01 of this

Levi Strauss & Co. Announces That After a Planned

Transition, Chief Financial & Growth Officer

Harmit Singh Will Retire

—Company Commences Search, Singh to

Remain Through Transition—

San Francisco, CA – (April 7, 2026) – Levi Strauss &

Co. (LS&Co.) (NYSE: LEVI) today announced that Executive Vice President and Chief Financial & Growth

Officer (CFGO) Harmit Singh will continue in his role as CFGO until a successor is appointed and then transition to serve as Special Advisor, following which he will retire.

The company has initiated a comprehensive search process

with the assistance of a leading executive search firm. Singh will continue to serve as CFGO until a successor is appointed and

will remain for a planned transition as Special Advisor to ensure continuity.

“On behalf of the Board and our employees, I want to thank Harmit

for his significant contributions to Levi Strauss & Co. over the past 13 years,” said Michelle Gass, President and CEO, LS&Co.

“He played an important role in taking the company public, supporting the company’s transformation into

a DTC-first retailer, and strengthening our financial foundation and operating rigor, positioning us for long-term profitable growth. Thanks to the high-caliber finance team he built, we are well-positioned to navigate a seamless

transition. Harmit has been a trusted leader across the organization, and we are grateful for his impact and his ongoing support

as we conduct a thoughtful search for our next CFO.”

“It has been a true privilege to work alongside Michelle and the

executive leadership team as we’ve driven meaningful, transformative growth,” added Singh. “We have successfully evolved

into a more diversified, global, direct-to-consumer business, expanding our addressable market, growing margins and positioning

the business for sustainable growth. I am very proud of what we have accomplished, and I have deep gratitude

for my team and tremendous confidence in the company’s continued momentum. I look forward to supporting a smooth transition to the

company’s next CFO.”

Singh joined LS&Co. in 2013 as Chief Financial Officer, taking responsibility

for the company’s global finance, information technology, M&A, investor relations, strategic sourcing and global

business services functions. In 2023, his role expanded to include Chief Growth Officer, where he helped shape our corporate strategy,

accelerate transformation initiatives and advance several key enablers of our future — including global real estate, franchise expansion and

the development of our Global Talent Hubs. Prior to joining LS&Co., Singh served as Chief Financial Officer at Hyatt Hotels Corporation

and held Division CFO roles at Yum! Restaurants International and Pizza Hut.
