Nature of Operations

A. Nature of Operations

Duluth Holdings Inc. (“Duluth Trading” or the “Company”), a Wisconsin corporation, is a lifestyle brand of men’s and women’s workwear, casual wear, outdoor apparel and accessories sold primarily through the Company’s own omnichannel platform. The Company’s products are marketed under the Duluth Trading Company brand, with the majority of products being exclusively developed and sold as Duluth Trading branded merchandise.

The Company identifies its operating segments according to how its business activities are managed and evaluated. The Company continues to report one reportable external segment, consistent with the Company’s omnichannel business approach. The Company’s revenues generated outside the United States were insignificant.

The Company has two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except for voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class B common stock. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share. The Company’s Class B common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “DLTH.”
