Peer group, and who names Lovesac as a peer

Companies that benchmark against LOVE

5 companies name LOVE as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses LOVE in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named LOVE in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2026
