The 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on August 26, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (see below). The Plan is a long-term incentive plan, pursuant to which the Company may grant awards of stock units, stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, stock awards, and other stock-based awards to employees (including executive officers), non-employee directors, and certain consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company or its subsidiaries. The Plan was adopted principally to serve as a successor plan to the Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended by Amendment No. 2021-1 to the Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). No additional grants will be made under the Prior Plan on or after the Effective Date, and outstanding grants under the Prior Plan continue to be in effect according to their terms. The Plan will terminate on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of its Effective Date, unless the Plan is terminated earlier by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or is extended by the Board with the approval of the stockholders.

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan is equal to (i) 1,000,000 newly authorized shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Prior Plan that remain available for grant under the Prior Plan as of July 1, 2026, reduced by (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any awards granted under the Prior Plan after July 1, 2026 and prior to the Effective Date (the difference between (ii) and (iii), the “Rollover Shares”). As of the Effective Date, the maximum number of Rollover Shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Plan will not exceed 1,088,748 shares of Common Stock.

It is not possible to determine specific amounts and types of awards that may be granted to eligible participants under the Plan subsequent to the Annual Meeting because the grant and payment of such awards is subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
