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

On October 29, 2020, Michael E. Najjar resigned from his position as a Class III director on the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of YETI Holdings, Inc. (“YETI”). Mr. Najjar’s decision to resign as a director of YETI was not due to any disagreements with YETI on any matter relating to YETI’s operations, policies or practices.

Effective as of October 30, 2020, the Board appointed Alison Dean as a Class III director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Najjar’s resignation. Ms. Dean will serve for an initial term ending at YETI’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until her successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board also determined that Ms. Dean is an independent director under applicable listing rules under the New York Stock Exchange and appointed Ms. Dean to the Audit Committee of the Board, having determined that she satisfies all applicable requirements to serve on such committee.

Ms. Dean is not a party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director, nor is she a party to any transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving YETI or any of its subsidiaries.

For her service on the Board as a non-employee director, Ms. Dean will receive compensation in the same manner as YETI’s other non-employee directors, including a pro-rated automatic initial restricted stock unit grant, in accordance with the YETI Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, which was filed as Exhibit 10.20 to YETI’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2018 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).

YETI will enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Dean in substantially the same form as the Form of Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.21 to the Registration Statement.

A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Najjar’s retirement from, and Ms. Dean’s appointment to, the Board is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. The information in this report shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
