The following description of the Ennis, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Ennis, Inc. (the “Company”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).

The Plan was formed February 1, 1994 and has been restated to conform with ERISA and IRC regulations. The Plan is sponsored and administered by the Company, acting by and through the Retirement Committee. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Plan’s assets were held by Matrix Trust Company (the “Custodian”). The Plan's record-keeper is One American Retirement Services LLC ("OARS"). On January 2, 2025 Voya Financial, Inc. completed its acquisition of One America Retirement Services LLC.

During 2025, the Company acquired Northeastern Envelope Company, Envelope Superstore, and CFC Print and Mail and their respective plans were terminated, and the employees had the option to rollover their participant balances into the Plan.

Eligibility

Employees age 18 and older of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan and receive matching contributions the first of the month after completing 60 days of service, as defined by the Plan.

Employees are eligible to receive discretionary profit-sharing contributions, if granted, after completing 1,000 hours within their first 12 months of service.

Contributions

Participants may make voluntary contributions to the Plan ranging from 1% to 100% of eligible pay subject to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) annual limitations. The Plan allows catch-up contributions (within the meaning of Section 414(v) of the IRC) for participants who have reached age 50 by the end of the plan year. The Plan also allows rollovers of distributions from other qualified plans.

The Company makes discretionary matching contributions at a rate determined by the Plan Sponsor for certain employees not enrolled in the Pension Plan for the Employees of Ennis, Inc. The total matching contributions are not to exceed $2,500 annually.

Eligibility for employer contributions depends on the participant’s employment location as defined in the Plan document. The Plan automatically enrolls all newly eligible participants into the Plan at a 4% deferral rate.

In addition, each year, the Company may at its discretion, make profit sharing contributions for the plan year not to exceed certain limitations prescribed by the IRC. During 2025, the Company declared a discretionary profit-sharing contribution of $126,249 on behalf of the employees of Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. in accordance with its original plan. This contribution was contributed to the Plan in 2026. During 2025, the Company contributed $149,209 which was declared in 2024.
