Dear Stockholder:

ANNE GATES			Fiscal year 2022 was a standout year for Tapestry. We drove strong financial results, highlighted by accelerated topline and profit gains across Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman. This performance is a direct reflection of the vibrancy of our brands and our team’s successful execution of the Acceleration Program. Overall we are a different company today than we were just two years ago. Through an unwavering focus on the consumer, supported by our transformed and diversified business model, we delivered record annual revenue of $6.7 billion, including $2 billion in global Digital sales, and acquired 7.7 million new customers in North America alone. In addition, we utilized our robust free cash flow generation to return approximately $1.9 billion to shareholders through our share repurchase and dividend programs, underscoring our strong financial position and confidence in Tapestry’s growth potential. Further, we advanced our corporate responsibility strategy, Our Social Fabric, as we remain steadfast in our commitment to operate as a purpose-led, people-centered business. We took bold action through our newly created Tapestry Foundation, becoming a founding partner of the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Social Justice Center and establishing a partnership with the World Wildlife Fund to launch a pioneering leather traceability program in Brazil. We also hired our first Chief Inclusion and Social Impact Officer and were a signatory of the Open To All’s Mitigating Racial Bias in Retail Charter. Together, these actions demonstrate our focus on driving real, measurable progress toward a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive world. As we look forward, we see tremendous runway at each of our iconic brands. We are entering our next phase of growth - which we call futurespeed - from a position of strength. The environment is ever-changing, and we have designed our organization to power our brands to move at the speed of the consumer with agility and intention. Importantly, we are confident in our ability to fuel sustainable top and bottom-line gains, generate significant cash flow, and create meaningful value for all our stakeholders in the years to come. We value your investment in our company and thank you for your continued support. We hope that you will join us for our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on November 15, 2022. We will conduct our meeting exclusively online via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TPR2022. As always, your participation is important. Please refer to the attached Notice of 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement for information detailing matters to be considered and voted upon at this year’s meeting.

			Anne Gates Chair of the Board of Directors			Joanne Crevoiserat Director and Chief Executive Officer

In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “believes,” “may,” “can,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “confidence,” “trends,” “intend,” “estimate,” “on track,” “are positioned to,” “on course,” “opportunity,” “continue,” “project,” “guidance,” “target,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “potential,” “position,” “see,” “would,” the negative of these terms or comparable terms.

The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any such forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

The Company’s actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations due to a number of important factors, including but not limited to: (i) the impact of the ongoing coronavirus (“Covid-19”) global pandemic on our business and financial results, including impacts on our supply chain due to temporary closures of our manufacturing partners, price increases, temporary store closures, as well as production, shipping and fulfillment constraints; (ii) the impact of economic conditions; (iii) our ability to successfully execute our multi-year growth agenda; (iv) our ability to control costs; (v) our exposure to international risks, including currency fluctuations and changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where we sell or source our products; (vi) the risk of cybersecurity threats and privacy or data security breaches; (vii) the effect of existing and new competition in the marketplace; (viii) our ability to retain the value of our brands and to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, including our ability to execute on our e-commerce and digital strategies; (ix) the effect of seasonal and quarterly fluctuations on our sales or operating results; (x) our ability to protect against infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights; (xi) the impact of tax and

Fiscal Year 2022 Business Highlights

We drove standout results in fiscal year 2022, despite a challenging backdrop. We delivered accelerated revenue and profit growth across our portfolio -— a direct reflection of the vibrancy of our brands and the agility and ingenuity of our talented teams around the world. Our performance this fiscal year demonstrates our competitive advantages, as well as the success of our strategic growth agenda -— our Acceleration Program -— which we developed nearly three years ago to radically transform our organization to compete in a new world of retail. Although the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic profoundly altered the world around us, it reaffirmed our strategic direction and, with consistent execution, we emerged a stronger company poised for sustainable growth.

We also remained committed to creating value for our stockholders, returning approximately $1.9 billion to our stockholders in fiscal year 2022 through repurchasing $1.6 billion in Tapestry common stock and issuing $264 million in quarterly dividends.

We made significant progress against our strategic initiatives in fiscal year 2022:

ESG Strategy

Tapestry’s corporate responsibility strategy, Our Social Fabric, unites teams across our business in meeting our 2025 Corporate Responsibility Goals (the “2025 Goals”) and other strategic initiatives with a shared objective: to balance true fashion authority with meaningful, positive change. Our Social Fabric covers three strategic pillars: Our People, Our Planet and Our Communities.

•

Our People: We aim to bolster Tapestry’s purpose and culture by embedding equity, inclusion and diversity (“EI&D”) throughout our organization, attracting and retaining talent with a compelling and fulfilling working experience, holding our leaders accountable and tying a portion of leadership compensation to our EI&D goals.

•

Our Planet: We aim to sustain and restore our planet through continuous innovation in solutions that improve biodiversity and reduce our impact on climate change with a focus on renewable energy, increased use of environmentally preferred materials and production methods and circular business models that design out waste and pollution, keep products in use and restore natural systems.

•	Our Communities: We aim to support and empower the communities where our employees live and work, and provide the resources and investment needed to make an impact in the regions where we operate, through volunteer efforts, philanthropic initiatives, product donations and social impact programming.

2025 Goals and Bold Commitments

	Our People
	•			Build diversity in leadership by increasing the number of North America based ethnic minority leaders to better reflect our general corporate population
	•			Reduce differences in employee inclusion index scores based on gender and ethnicity
	•			Demonstrate focus on career progression, development and mobility by filling 60% of leadership (VP+) roles internally
	•			Enable all employees to manage both their work and personal life balance by achieving a global core benefit standard for self-care, parental and family care leave policies
	Our Planet
	•			Achieve a 20% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2e emissions and achieve a 20% reduction in absolute Scope 3 CO2e emissions from freight shipping over a 2017 baseline
	•			Attain 95% traceability and mapping of our raw materials to ensure a transparent and responsible supply chain
	•			Achieve 75% recycled content in packaging and reduce North America corporate and distribution center waste by 25% over a 2017 baseline
	•			Achieve a 10% reduction in water usage across Tapestry and our supply chain
	•			Ensure that 90% of leather is sourced from silver- and gold-rated leather working group tanneries
	•			Procure 100% renewable energy in the Company’s stores, offices and fulfillment centers by 2025
	Our Communities
	•			Dedicate 100,000 volunteer service hours to be completed by our employees around the globe
	•			Give $75,000,000 in financial and product donations to nonprofit organizations globally
	•			Provide 100,000 people crafting our products access to empowerment programs during the workday
	•			Support our volunteering goal by giving all global employees one paid day off per year to volunteer

This strategy, including oversight, management and identification of risks, including climate-related risks, is ultimately governed by the Board and driven by an ESG Task Force, which is comprised of senior leaders and cross-functional members from major business functions. The Board approves long-term sustainability goals, strategic moves and major actions and receives updates at least annually. The Governance and Nominations Committee of the Board receives quarterly updates on ESG strategy and progress updates on our 2025 Goals and initiatives. The Human Resources Committee also receives regular updates on the “Our People” pillar of Our Social Fabric strategy.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

The Board held five (5) meetings during fiscal year 2022. In addition to meetings of the full Board, Directors also attended meetings of Committees of the Board (the “Committees” and each a “Committee”). Each of the Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings held by the Board and Board Committees on which he or she served during the fiscal year.

The Board has an Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”), a Human Resources Committee (the “HR Committee”), which performs the functions of a compensation committee and a Governance and Nominations Committee (the “GN Committee”). Each Committee operates pursuant to a charter, which can be found for each Committee on Tapestry's website at www.tapestry.com/investors/ under the Committees section. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, copies of any of the committee charters. You may obtain such copies by sending a written request to Tapestry, 10 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, Attention: Secretary. Each Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the

attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under its charter.

All regular quarterly meetings of the Board and Board Committees include an executive session of our non-employee Directors, all of whom are independent (“Independent Directors”) without members of management present. In fiscal year 2022, following Susan Kropf’s retirement as independent Chair of the Board in November 2021, Anne Gates presided over executive sessions of the Board as independent Chair of the Board. Our Independent Directors and Board Committees have authority to retain outside advisors as they deem necessary.

Tapestry encourages each member of the Board to attend each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but has not adopted a formal policy with respect to such attendance.

All of the Company's Directors then-standing for re-election attended the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in 2021.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised solely of Independent Directors and met six (6) times during fiscal year 2022. The Audit Committee reviews Tapestry’s auditing, accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions and has sole responsibility for the selection of independent accountants. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all services provided by the independent accountants to assure that these services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Services that have not received pre-approval will require specific review and approval by the Audit Committee. In addition, when the scope of services being provided (and the related fees) meaningfully change, Tapestry and the independent accountants will provide an update to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews Tapestry’s accounting principles and financial reporting, as well as the independence of Tapestry’s independent accountants. In discharging its duties, the Audit Committee:

•	is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation determination and oversight of Tapestry’s independent accountants;

•	is directly responsible for pre-approving the audit and non-audit services rendered by the independent accountants;

•	provides oversight of, and has authority for the selection and evaluation of Tapestry’s internal auditors;

•	meets independently with Tapestry’s internal auditors, its independent accountants and senior management;

•	reviews the general scope of matters relating to Tapestry’s accounting, financial reporting, internal control systems, annual audit and internal audit program as well as matters relating to Tapestry’s information system architecture and cybersecurity, and the results of the annual audit; and

•	reviews with Tapestry’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer the matters required to be personally certified by such officers in Tapestry’s public filings and the procedures followed to prepare for such certifications.

Tapestry’s Board determined that all members of the Audit Committee during fiscal year 2022 were “independent” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and that all were “financially literate” under the rules of the NYSE. The Board has determined that Mr. Greco, the Chair of the Audit Committee, and Mses. Gates and Faber are each considered an “audit committee financial expert” under federal securities laws.

Human Resources Committee

The HR Committee is comprised solely of Independent Directors and met five (5) times during fiscal year 2022. Pursuant to the HR Committee Charter, the HR Committee:

•

determines, approves and reports to the Board on all elements of compensation for Tapestry’s executive officers and other key executives, including targeted total cash compensation and long-term equity-based incentives and oversees the administration of various employee benefit and retirement plans, except as otherwise delegated by the Board or the Committee;

•	reviews non-employee director compensation and benefits and recommends changes to the Board as necessary;

•	reviews Tapestry’s overall human capital strategy, including equity, inclusion and diversity;

•	performs, or assists the Board in performing, the duties of the Board relating to the annual performance evaluations of the Company’s executive officers;

•	monitors performance, talent development and succession planning for key executives; and

•	consults, as needed, with third-party compensation consultants.

In fiscal year 2022, the HR Committee retained the services of Compensation Advisory Partners, LLC (“CAP”); a description of the services provided to the HR Committee during fiscal year 2022 appears below under Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Decision Making Process—Roles and Responsibilities.

Tapestry’s Board determined that all members of the HR Committee during fiscal year 2022 were “independent” under the NYSE heightened independence standards for members of compensation committees.

Governance and Nominations Committee

The GN Committee is comprised solely of Independent Directors and met four (4) times during fiscal year 2022.

The GN Committee performs a leadership role in shaping the corporate governance of the Company, and reports to the Board on matters relating to corporate governance and the identification and nomination of new directors. The GN Committee also performs succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and conducts annual performance evaluations of the Board and its several committees, and each

individual Director. The GN Committee also has primary oversight of the Company’s ESG strategy, Board succession planning and Board refreshment processes. These responsibilities are described in more detail in Board, Committee and Director Evaluations and Board Refreshment and Succession Planning Processes below.

Tapestry's Board determined that all members of the GN Committee during fiscal year 2022 were “independent” as defined in the NYSE listing standards.

Ongoing Director Education

The Board believes that ongoing Director education is essential for both new and long-serving Directors to successfully fulfill their duties. All incoming Directors participate in the Company’s Director onboarding and education program, which involves meetings with members of management to review Company strategy, Tapestry and brand business and operational performance, corporate governance, human capital management and ESG matters. Throughout the course of their service on the Board, all Directors are polled on which topics and programs they think will support them in their roles and the Company incorporates

this feedback into future programming. Directors are given access to relevant educational materials and information on training programs through an online portal, as well as external memberships to corporate governance organizations. The Company reimburses Directors for all reasonable fees and expenses associated with attending outside training programs. In addition, outside experts are frequently invited to Board and Committee meetings throughout the year to present on specific topics (such as cybersecurity and ESG matters in fiscal year 2022).

Board, Committee and Director Evaluations

The Board believes that a regular, robust Board evaluation process is a critical tool in ensuring Board effectiveness and strong corporate governance. The GN Committee has primary oversight of the process, which consists of annual evaluations by each Director of the full Board, the Board Committees, and each individual Director. Additionally, members of the Company’s management team are asked for their feedback and perspective on Board process and effectiveness. These collective evaluations are intended to determine whether the Board and its Committees are functioning effectively, to assess Director performance, and to identify opportunities for overall improvement.

Evaluations are conducted annually through confidential questionnaires, which solicit quantitative and textual feedback. On a periodic basis (most recently for the fiscal year 2021 review cycle), the process also includes one-on-one interviews with Board members and certain members of management conducted by an independent third party facilitator.

Evaluations consider a number of topics, including:

•	board structure, composition and performance;

•	board and Committee roles, and meeting agendas and materials;

•	access to management, outside advisors and other information and resources necessary for the Board to fulfill its duties;

•	the overall function of the Board and its Committees; and

•	assessment of individual and peer contributions, including solicitation of feedback to ensure each director’s skills are being utilized most effectively.

The Independent Directors also evaluate the performance of Tapestry's Chief Executive Officer annually.

The results of the evaluations are discussed with the Chair of the Board, the GN Committee, each Committee Chair, and with the full Board in executive session. The Chair provides anonymous feedback to each Director during one on one conversations.

While this formal evaluation process is conducted on an annual basis, Directors are encouraged to continuously share their perspectives, feedback and suggestions throughout the year. Items requiring follow-up and execution from the annual evaluation process and other engagements are monitored throughout the year by the Board, the applicable committees and management.

Board Refreshment and Succession Planning Processes

The Board is committed to active and ongoing Board refreshment practices and succession planning, working to continuously align Board composition and leadership with the Company’s strategic needs. Building and maintaining an effective Board is a critical responsibility of our GN Committee, designed to ensure that the Board and each Committee is operating effectively and comprised of highly qualified directors, with the appropriate skills, experience, perspective and independence to provide effective oversight and serve the best interest of our stockholders. The GN Committee conducts a year-round process, which includes

(i) regular review and discussion of the existing Board composition, utilizing a matrix of certain director skills and experience as a discussion tool; (ii) consideration of disclosures by each Director in their Annual Director and Officer Questionnaire, including with respect to external commitments, with semi-annual abridged questionnaires for interim updates (iii) review of the annual Board, Committee and individual Director evaluations, and (iv) regular GN Committee agenda items devoted specifically to Board refreshment and succession planning, reporting out to the full Board.

Refreshment Practices

In identifying and recommending Director candidates, the GN Committee places emphasis on the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, as approved by the Board and posted on our website, which set forth qualifications and criteria for director selection, including the following minimum qualifications: the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; commitment to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders; an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment; freedom from significant conflicts of interest; the willingness and ability to devote the time necessary to perform the duties and responsibilities of a director; and a commitment to serve on the Board for an extended period of time. The GN Committee’s selection process also provides for engagement of third-party search firms, interviews with various members of the GN Committee, the Board and management, and an evaluation of each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, applying criteria that it deems appropriate. The final selection of nominees is made by the Board.

The GN Committee will consider all candidates recommended by stockholders in accordance with the timing and other procedures established in Tapestry’s Bylaws for stockholder nominations. See Other Information—Stockholder Proposals for the 2023 Annual Meeting for more information. The GN Committee evaluates all candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of such recommendation, and, subject to provisions in our Bylaws concerning proper notice by stockholders of proposed nominees, will consider all candidates recommended by stockholders. Such recommendations should include the name and address and other pertinent information about the candidate as is required by Tapestry’s Bylaws. Recommendations should be submitted in writing to Tapestry, 10 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, Attention: Secretary. The policy and procedures for considering candidates recommended by stockholders were formally adopted by our Board in May 2004.

Board Succession Planning

Led by the GN Committee, our Board reviews the composition, skills and dynamics of the full Board and each Committee no less than annually to ensure appropriate Board succession plans are in place.

Based on these reviews, the GN Committee determines optimal utilization of each Director’s skills and experience and confirms or modifies succession plans for the Board Chair and Committee Chairs and members. The full Board appoints the Board and Committee Chairs and Committee members annually, following the Company’s Annual Meeting.

Board Diversity

While the Company does not have a formal policy regarding the diversity of the Board, we believe the Board is diverse based on gender, ethnicity and national origin, as reflected in the charts below. The GN Committee considers the Board’s overall composition when considering director candidates, including whether the Board has an appropriate combination of professional experience, skills, knowledge and variety of viewpoints and backgrounds in light of the Company’s current and expected future needs.

In addition, the GN Committee also believes that it is desirable for new candidates to contribute to the variety of viewpoints on the Board, which may be enhanced by a mix of different professional and personal backgrounds and experiences.

Board Oversight Structure

The Board is elected annually by our stockholders to provide ultimate oversight of the management of Tapestry's business strategy and risks and to ensure that the long-term interests of the stockholders are being served.

Separation of Chair and Chief Executive Officer; Strong Independent Board

Under Tapestry’s Bylaws and Corporate Governance Principles, the positions of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer may be held by one person or separately. Our policy as to whether the role of the Chair and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate is to adopt the practice that best serves the stockholders’ interests and the Company’s needs at any particular time. The positions of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer have been held separately since July 2020, with Ms. Gates currently serving as Chair of the Board and Ms. Crevoiserat serving as Chief Executive Officer. The position of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer was also held separately from 2014 through September 2019. From September 2019 through July 2020, the role was combined.

The Board believes that the current governance structure—Ms. Gates as the independent Chair of the Board and Ms. Crevoiserat as the Company's Chief Executive Officer—will allow Ms. Crevoiserat to focus her time and energy on managing the Company and Ms. Gates to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing guidance, advice and counsel regarding the business, operations and strategy of the Company, as well as oversight of the Company's risk

management policies and processes. We believe this structure will allow the Company to continue to execute its strategy and business plans to maximize stockholder value.

The Company has also adopted various policies to provide for a strong and independent Board. The Board and the GN Committee have assembled a Board comprised of capable and experienced Directors who are currently or have been leaders of major companies or institutions, are independent thinkers, and have a wide range of expertise and skills. The Board annually examines the relationships between the Company and each of its Directors. After this examination, the Board has determined that each of the Directors who are nominated for election at the Annual Meeting (other than Ms. Crevoiserat) have no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) and is independent as defined in the NYSE listing standards. In addition, all standing committees of the Board are made up entirely of Independent Directors. The Board and these Committees are empowered to retain their own counsel or advisors as they deem necessary.

Board’s Role in the Oversight of Strategy

Our Board has active oversight responsibility for our corporate strategy and planning, including through: formal dedicated meetings to review our annual operating and long-range strategic plans, including risks and opportunities facing our business; quarterly engagement at Board and Committee meetings, and during executive sessions; and regular discussions with our Chief Executive Officer and members of management throughout the year. With this strong Board oversight, our management team is responsible for executing our strategy and providing the Board with regular updates on key strategic initiatives, market and

macro-environmental trends and other developments with respect to our strategic initiatives.

During fiscal year 2022, the Board was highly engaged in oversight of business and operational priorities, including continued implementation of the strategies under our Acceleration Program, ESG and human capital management activities, including progress on our 2025 Goals under the pillars of Our People, Our Planet and Our Communities and our EI&D priorities.

Board’s Role in the Oversight of Risk

The Board provides critical oversight of the risks facing the Company and the risk management programs the Company has put into place. The Board views effective risk management as a key priority and approaches this work as an integrated part of our strategic planning process. In compliance with its duties under Tapestry’s Charter, Bylaws and Corporate Governance Principles and, pursuant to Maryland law, the Board and its Committees consider whether the Company’s risk management programs adequately:

•	identify and assess material and emerging risks facing the Company in a timely fashion;

•	allocate ownership for risk management amongst members of management, with appropriate visibility to the Board and its committees;

•	implement appropriate responsive risk management strategies;

•	facilitate open communication between management and the Board;

•	transmit necessary information with respect to material risks within the Company; and

•	foster an appropriate culture of ethics, integrity, and risk management.

The Company believes that the Board’s structure provides appropriate risk oversight of the Company’s activities.

ESG Risk Management

ESG and climate-related risk management is a key priority for management and the Board and is approached as an integrated part of ERM and our strategic planning process. Management and the Board evaluate sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities that have the potential to impact Tapestry’s operations, products and services, supply chain, adaptation and mitigation activities and investment in innovation.

Our GN Committee receives quarterly updates on matters of ESG strategy, compliance and risk, with updates to the full Board at least annually and Audit and HR Committees as appropriate.

Our ESG Steering Committee, comprised of Tapestry Executive Committee members, meets quarterly and is responsible for strategy recommendations and supporting execution and final decision-making of ESG-related opportunities.

Our ESG Task Force, comprised of senior leaders and cross-functional members from major business functions at Tapestry, meets monthly to set and drive company-wide ESG strategy.

Our Global ESG Team, led by our Vice President, ESG & Sustainability, has direct day-to-day responsibility for managing our program, including leadership of the ESG Task Force.

Our ESG Program is supported by additional working groups including a Cultural Moments Action Committee, Inclusion Councils, several Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and our Tapestry and brand foundations.

	Spotlight: Oversight of Cybersecurity Risk
	Cybersecurity is a critical component of risk management at Tapestry, consisting of global information security and privacy compliance programs focused on the Company’s information systems, cybersecurity practices and protection of consumer and employee personal data and confidential information. The Audit Committee receives quarterly updates from the Company’s Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer on information security and privacy risk and compliance, with periodic updates to the full Board (no less than annually). All global employees are required to take annual training on information security, including cybersecurity, and global data privacy requirements and compliance measures. We also conduct periodic internal and third party assessments to test our cybersecurity controls, perform cyber simulations and annual tabletop exercises, and continually evaluate our privacy notices, policies and procedures surrounding our handling and control of personal data and the systems we have in place to help protect us from cybersecurity or personal data breaches. The Company has rigorous controls in place to monitor personal and confidential information and documentation distributed electronically by all of its employees. The Company also surveyed its Directors during fiscal year 2022 on their skills and experience relating to cybersecurity to ensure effective oversight of the Company’s programs, as discussed in Director Qualifications, Skills and Experience on page 22.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The HR Committee is currently comprised of the following Independent Directors: David Denton, Chair, Darrell Cavens, Pamela Lifford and Ivan Menezes. No Director who served as a member of the HR Committee during any portion of fiscal year 2022 was an employee of the Company during their service on the HR Committee or a former officer of the Company. None of Tapestry's executive officers serve on the

compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) or the board of directors of any other company of which any member of the HR Committee or the Board is an executive officer. The HR Committee makes all compensation decisions regarding the Company’s executive officers.

Code of Conduct and Other Policies

Tapestry has adopted a Code of Conduct (the “Code”). The purpose of the Code is to convey the basic principles of business conduct expected of all Tapestry employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Controller and other senior financial personnel performing similar functions. We require officers and corporate employees (and selected retail employees) to attend training on the Code and other matters of business ethics. We require all employees to review and certify the Code annually. In support of the Code, we have provided our employees with numerous avenues for the reporting of ethics violations or other similar concerns, including a toll-free telephone hotline and a reporting website, both allowing for anonymity. The Code meets the definition of “code of ethics” under the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE and is posted on our website at www.tapestry.com/investors/ under the Global Business Integrity Program section.

We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the Code. You may obtain a copy of the Code by sending a written request to Tapestry, 10 Hudson Yards, New York, New York 10001, Attention: Secretary.

Tapestry has also adopted a Political Activities and Contributions Policy.

Stockholder Engagement

We communicate with our stockholders throughout the year and are committed to fostering effective and transparent communication. We engage regularly through quarterly earnings calls, our investor relations website, and group as well as one-on-one meetings and calls to ensure we have a strong understanding of their perspectives, including potential concerns with respect to our Company and business.

In advance of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders each year, we reach out to many of our investors to discuss topics of corporate governance, executive compensation and any other items of interest or concern. Our engagements typically involve representatives from Investor Relations, Legal, Human Resources, ESG and other business areas, including our senior management team and Board of Directors when appropriate.

In advance of our prior year Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we reached out to approximately 40 holders, representing approximately 70% of shares outstanding. Although our investors did not have concerns requiring engagement in advance of the meeting, we engaged with our holders on a number of issues throughout fiscal year 2022.

Key topics of discussion during our fiscal year 2022 engagements included:

•	our business strategies and financial performance, including our progress under the Acceleration Program;

•	topics related to ESG, including sustainability and climate change, as well as Our Social Fabric initiatives and 2025 Goals;

•	our strategies around EI&D, and other matters of human capital management;

•

our executive compensation programs and practices, specifically the addition of EI&D metrics to our annual incentive plan (“AIP”) for fiscal year 2022 and our return to our standard mix of performance-based equity, after the one-time changes we made in fiscal year 2021 as a result of the pandemic; and

•	topics around Board refreshment, Board diversity and general Board oversight and governance.

Corporate Governance Principles

Tapestry’s Corporate Governance Principles provide the framework for the governance of Tapestry. These guidelines reflect the governance rules for NYSE-listed companies and those contained in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board reviews these principles and other aspects of governance periodically. The guidelines, together with other corporate governance documents of Tapestry, are posted on our website

at www.tapestry.com/investors/ under the Governance Documents section. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the Corporate Governance Principles.

Director Compensation

Directors who are Tapestry employees receive no additional compensation for their services as Directors. Compensation for Independent Directors is recommended by the HR Committee and approved by the Board. Compensation for Independent Directors consists of an annual cash retainer for Board service and additional cash retainers for service as the Independent Chair of the Board or Lead Outside Director, as applicable, and as the chairperson of Board Committees. Annual grants of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are made to each elected Independent Director on the date of Tapestry's Annual Meeting. Upon joining the Board, a new Independent Director receives a grant of stock options

and RSUs with approximately the same value as this annual grant. The Second Amended and Restated Tapestry, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Stock Incentive Plan”) includes an overall limit on annual Independent Director compensation of $800,000 per director.

Due to complex regulatory requirements related to equity compensation in China, in lieu of an annual equity award of stock options and RSUs, Ms. Long receives a cash payment equal to $150,000, representing the targeted fair market value of equity awards granted to the other Independent Directors, paid one year after the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Tapestry's Outside Director retainers in effect during fiscal year 2022 were as follows:

	Compensation Element			Annual Amount* ($)
	Basic annual retainer			90,000
	Annual equity grant value⁽¹⁾			150,000
	Audit Committee Chair annual retainer			30,000
	HR Committee Chair annual retainer			30,000
	GN Committee Chair annual retainer			20,000
	Independent Chair of the Board retainer			200,000
	Lead Outside Director (not applicable in fiscal year 2022)			30,000
	Cash payment in lieu of annual equity grant for Annabelle Long			150,000

*Amounts shown reflect the full value of the retainers for fiscal year 2022.

(1) The annual equity grant to our Independent Directors is fixed at a fair market value of approximately $150,000, with 50% of the value of the award made in the form of stock options and 50% made in the form of RSUs. These awards vest in full one year from the date of grant, subject to the Director’s continued service until that time.

From time to time, most recently in August 2022, the HR Committee's consultant, CAP, evaluates the Independent Director compensation program and, as appropriate, the HR Committee may recommend changes to the Board. The 2022 study compared Tapestry's Independent Director compensation program to:

•	the same peer group used for executive compensation benchmarking, described below in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis; and

•	general industry survey data (303 companies across industries with revenues between $2.5 billion and $10 billion), from the 2021-22 Director Compensation Report from the National Association of Corporate Directors.

The study found that current Independent Director compensation was between the 25th percentile and median of the peer group, and was also positioned below median versus the general industry data. The HR Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the following updates to the Independent Director compensation program, to be effective in November 2022:

•	Increase cash retainer by $10,000

•	Increase annual equity value by $20,000

•	Increase Audit Committee Chair cash retainer by $5,000

•	Increase GN Committee Chair cash retainer by $5,000

This would bring the total pay for Independent Director compensation to median of peer group.

Director Stock Ownership Policy

Tapestry has a stock ownership policy for Independent Directors. Under the policy, each Independent Director is expected to accumulate Tapestry shares valued at five times the basic annual retainer ($90,000 during fiscal year 2022). The Board expects the required level of ownership to be achieved within five years of the date an Independent Director is appointed to the Board. Until the requirement is met, each Director is required to retain 50% of the net shares obtained from RSUs that vest and stock options that are exercised. Ownership includes shares owned, deferred stock units and shares equivalent to the after-tax value of unvested RSUs and the after-tax value of vested, unexercised, in-the-money stock options.

The Board has waived the Director Stock Ownership Policy for Ms. Long due to the complex regulatory framework for equity compensation in China.

As of the last measurement date (December 31, 2021):

•	Messrs. Bilbrey, Cavens, Denton and Menezes and Ms. Gates had achieved the desired level of ownership; and

•	Mr. Greco and Mses. Faber and Lifford were making appropriate progress toward achieving the desired level of ownership (all have been Independent Directors for less than five years).

Director Qualifications, Skills and Experience

The Company does not set specific criteria for Directors, except to the extent required to meet applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements, including the independence requirements of the SEC and the NYSE. Nominees for Director will be selected on the basis of outstanding achievement in their personal careers, board experience, wisdom, integrity, ability to make independent, analytical inquiries, understanding of the business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties.

While the selection of qualified Directors is a complex and subjective process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, the GN Committee of the Board believes that each Director should have a basic understanding of (a) the principal operational and financial objectives, plans and strategies of the Company, (b) the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its business, and (c) the relative standing of the Company and its business in relation to its competitors. The Board believes that each of its current Directors meet all of these qualifications, as well as the individual qualifications presented in each of their biographies.

During fiscal year 2022, we enhanced our survey of director skills in the area of ESG, further defining each Director’s related experience, including in the areas below:

•	Environmental (E): climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, product circularity, biodiversity, deforestation and land use, waste, chemicals and water usage, restricted substances and raw materials sourcing.

•	Social (S): equity, inclusion and diversity, human rights, supply chain labor practices, community outreach and human capital management.

•	Governance (G): corporate governance, business ethics and compliance, data privacy, public policy, risk management and board governance.

We further expanded our survey to include additional questions on cybersecurity experience gained through direct responsibilities, oversight or other relevant education and experience.

As reflected in the chart below, we believe our Director nominees offer a diverse range of key skills and experience to provide effective oversight of the Company and create long-term sustainable growth through successful execution of the Company's strategic initiatives

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

This section should be read in conjunction with the Audit Committee Report presented below.

Ratification of Appointment of Auditors; Attendance at Meetings

The Audit Committee of Tapestry’s Board has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023. We are asking stockholders to ratify the appointment of D&T as our independent registered public accounting firm at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of D&T are expected to be present at the virtual Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Our Bylaws do not require that the stockholders ratify the appointment of D&T as our independent auditors. However, we are submitting the appointment of D&T to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Board and the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2024

(“fiscal year 2024”). Even if the appointment of D&T is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent auditor at any time if it determines that such a change is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. At this time, the Board and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of D&T to serve as our independent auditors is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF D&T AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee is responsible for approving audit fees and is required to pre-approve all services provided by the independent auditors to assure that these services do not impair the auditors independence. Services that have not received pre-approval will require specific review and approval by the Audit Committee. In addition, when the scope of services being provided (and the related fees) meaningfully change, Tapestry

and the independent auditors will provide an update to the Audit Committee. All services described in the table above have been approved by the Audit Committee or the Audit Committee Chair on an engagement-by-engagement basis.

The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management and expressing an opinion as to whether those financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as well as expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 with management and Tapestry’s independent auditors. These discussions included a review of the reasonableness of significant judgments, the quality, not just acceptability, of Tapestry’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee. Tapestry’s independent auditors discussed their independence and also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.

Based upon the review and discussions described in this report, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of Tapestry that the audited financial statements be included in Tapestry's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

become exercisable within 60 days; however, shares exercisable within 60 days are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of ownership of any other individual or entity. Where indicated, the beneficial ownership described below includes share unit balances held under Tapestry's stock incentive plans and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors. The value of share units and share equivalents mirrors the value of Tapestry's common stock. The amounts ultimately realized by the Directors will reflect all changes in the market value of Tapestry common stock from the date of deferral or accrual until the date of payout. The share equivalents do not have voting rights but are credited with dividend equivalents, if any, which will be forfeited if the underlying award forfeits.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE

TO APPROVE THE COMPANY’S

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Board is committed to sound compensation governance and recognizes the interest of stockholders in executive compensation matters. On an annual basis, we provide our stockholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, or NEOs, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 34 and the Executive Compensation section beginning on page 57 in this proxy statement.

As this is an advisory vote, the result will not be binding on the Company, the Board or the HR Committee. However, the Board and HR Committee value the opinions expressed by our stockholders through their vote on this proposal, and the HR Committee will take into account the outcome of the advisory vote when evaluating the effectiveness of our compensation policies and practices and when making future compensation decisions for NEOs.

At our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 95% of the votes cast were in favor of our advisory vote on executive compensation. The HR Committee believes this result reflected strong stockholder support for our executive compensation programs.

We believe our people are our greatest differentiator and our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain individuals who are critical to our success. Tapestry’s pay-for-performance philosophy regarding executive compensation is straightforward: reward our executives for their contributions to the Company’s annual and long-term

performance by tying a significant portion of their total compensation to key business drivers and stockholder value. Reflecting this philosophy, a significant portion of executive compensation is subject to increase when results exceed target, reduction when results fall below target and elimination if results do not achieve a threshold level of performance.

In fiscal year 2022, the HR Committee reverted to its normalized performance pay mix, returning to annual performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), after making the decision to temporarily utilize three-year cliff vesting RSUs in fiscal year 2021 due to the more significant uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic at the time. In fiscal year 2022, the HR Committee also added EI&D measures worth 10% of AIP compensation for vice-president and above (“Leadership”). This change is intended to reinforce the importance of creating an inclusive and diverse culture and holding Leadership accountable for supporting inclusive behaviors.

We believe that we have created a compensation program deserving of stockholder support. Stockholders are urged to read the Executive Compensation and Compensation Discussion and Analysis sections of this proxy statement, which describes our executive compensation philosophy and programs in greater detail, as well as compensation decisions made by the HR Committee for our NEOs with respect to the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022.

Say on Pay Proposal

The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory non-binding vote basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as discussed and described in the proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, set forth in Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the accompanying executive compensation tables and narrative discussion.”

Adoption of the above resolution requires “FOR” votes from a majority of the votes cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

Executive Summary

Fiscal Year 2022 Performance

We delivered accelerated revenue and profit growth across our portfolio in fiscal year 2022—a direct reflection of the vibrancy of our brands and the agility and ingenuity of our talented teams around the world, despite a challenging backdrop.

We successfully implemented our Acceleration Program to radically transform our organization to compete in a new world of omnichannel retail. Through this work we pivoted in how we build our brands, centered around: Sharpening our Focus on the Consumer; Leveraging Data and Leading With a Digital First Mindset; and Transforming into a Leaner and More Responsive Organization.

Although the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic created profound disruption, consistent execution of our strategies allowed us to weather these challenges and emerge a stronger company.

We also remained committed to creating value for our stockholders, resuming our capital return programs during fiscal year 2022 after pausing in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and throughout fiscal year 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We returned approximately $1.9 billion to our stockholders by repurchasing $1.6 billion in Tapestry common stock and paying $264 million in quarterly dividends in fiscal year 2022.

We are confident in the foundation we have built, which positions us to continue to be agile in an ever-changing environment, as we remain focused on our customers to drive sustainable growth across our brands for years to come.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation Actions

We believe our people are our greatest competitive differentiator. At the start of fiscal year 2022, our HR Committee approved actions to revert to a normalized compensation environment, after the temporary actions we took during the Covid-19 pandemic in fiscal years 2020 and 2021. After eliminating all merit increases and instituting temporary salary reductions for a portion of fiscal year 2021, we resumed regular merit increases in fiscal year 2022. We also returned to our standard executive pay mix by granting annual PRSUs, after granting time-based RSUs in fiscal year 2021 instead of PRSUs given the uncertain environment.

Beginning in fiscal year 2022, we implemented the following additional changes to our employee compensation programs, guided by our commitment to operate as a purpose-led, people centered organization:

•	On a global level, tied 10% of Leadership’s AIP compensation to EI&D goals. This reinforces the importance of creating an inclusive and diverse culture and holds Leadership accountable for supporting nurturing and inclusive behaviors.

•	All U.S. Tapestry employees earned a wage of at least $15 per hour. This action was an important investment in building strong teams and demonstrates Tapestry’s ongoing commitment to unlock the power of its people.

Fiscal Year 2023 Compensation Actions and Organizational Changes

As we entered fiscal year 2023, we increased our company-wide merit budgets by up to 50% compared to prior years to recognize the highly inflationary environment in particular regions, including the United States. Employees at the Leadership level, including our NEOs, did not receive automatic merit increases. Instead, only targeted merit increases were given at this level if warranted by annual benchmarking analysis. We redistributed the majority of these merit funds to employees below Leadership.

After the close of fiscal year 2022, the Company announced that Mr. Glaser, the Company’s Chief Operations Officer, would

be voluntarily leaving the Company on October 1, 2022. Mr. Roe, who had been serving as Chief Financial Officer and Head of Strategy, was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, effective August 4, 2022.

Additionally, Ms. Dunn, the Company’s Global Human Resources Officer, notified the Company that she would be retiring, effective November 2022. The Company intends to announce her successor in fiscal year 2023.

Performance-Based Compensation

Our financial results in fiscal year 2022 were strong and significantly above the targets established by the HR Committee for our AIP, and therefore our NEOs earned above target payout under the plan. We also made strong progress on the EI&D measures constituting 10% of Leadership’s AIP.

At the start of fiscal year 2021 the HR Committee also granted one-time special PRSUs tied to successfully executing on our

Acceleration Program (the “Acceleration PRSU”) in fiscal years 2021-2022, to approximately 100 corporate leaders, including certain of our NEOs, to incentivize the teams responsible for driving progress under the program. The financial results for the Acceleration PRSUs were beyond the maximum and, therefore, the number of shares earned by NEOs under that plan are at maximum payout levels.

Results of Stockholder Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation and the HR Committee's Response to Stockholder Feedback

At our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 95% of the votes cast were in favor of our advisory vote on executive compensation.

Ahead of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we reached out to approximately 40 holders, representing approximately 70% of shares outstanding. Although our investors did not have concerns requiring engagement in advance of our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we engaged with our holders on a number of issues throughout fiscal year 2022 to understand their perspectives on the Company’s executive compensation program and other items of interest or concern. Our stockholders expressed support for returning to pre-Covid compensation structure and actions, and the introduction of EI&D goals to our AIP, which we implemented during fiscal year 2022.

After the close of fiscal year 2020 several investors provided feedback regarding our historical and forward looking burn rate under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. Based on these conversations and consistent with the feedback received from stockholders, the Company and the HR Committee, which serves as administrator of the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, committed to maintain an unadjusted burn rate at or below 2.0% annually for its fiscal years 2022 through 2024. In fiscal year 2022 our burn rate (calculated as full value shares and stock options granted during the fiscal year divided by weighted average common shares outstanding excluding share repurchases) was 1.0%.

Our engagement with stockholders is valuable and informative and we intend to continue discussions to further understand our investors’ perspective on our executive compensation program and other governance issues.

What We Pay and Why

Compensation Program Objectives

Over the long-term, the Company is focused on driving innovation across all of our brands and adopting strategies that promote long-term brand health and sustained increases in stockholder value through accelerating growth and enhanced profitability across the portfolio.

Our compensation programs are aligned with this objective: we deliver a market-competitive level of fixed compensation with the opportunity for above-average rewards when the Company and the executive exceed our performance objectives. The compensation program for Tapestry’s NEOs is designed to serve the following goals:

•	reward performance, with performance-based pay constituting a significant portion of total compensation;

•	support the attainment of the Company’s short- and long-term strategic and financial objectives;

•	align NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders and encourage ownership of Company stock by our NEOs;

•	reward NEOs for achieving the challenging financial and strategic targets that we believe ultimately will drive stockholder value;

•	enable us to attract, retain and reward the best talent in the luxury retail industry, which is necessary to profitably grow our business and drive stockholder value; and

•	be competitive with our peer companies.

In implementing our compensation programs, we are also committed to taking actions that embrace our responsibility as a global fashion company to affect positive change for our people, our industry and the world at large. Beginning in fiscal year 2022, on a global level, 10% of AIP compensation for Leadership is tied to EI&D measures. This action is intended to further incentivize leaders to create a diverse and inclusive culture and hold them accountable for supporting inclusive behaviors.

Elements of Compensation

Compensation for our NEOs includes both fixed and performance-based components, with an emphasis on performance-based elements to support the objectives listed above. We consider a component to be performance-based if the amount eventually earned or paid varies based on one or more elements of the Company’s financial performance (e.g., operating income, inventory turns, etc.), operational measures (e.g. EI&D goals) or stock price appreciation. Performance-based components are designed so that above-plan performance is rewarded with above-target payouts and vice versa. The fixed components of compensation are

designed to be competitive and are typically a minority portion of the total mix of each executive’s compensation package. We do not attempt to align each element of compensation to specific peer company percentiles or ratios; rather peer company data is one of several factors considered by the HR Committee when determining executive compensation. See the Compensation Decision Making Process section for details.

The following table briefly describes each element of compensation. A detailed explanation of each component for fiscal year 2022 is provided in the next section, Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation.

2022 PROXY STATEMENT | 39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Annual

Incentive

Rewards for achieving the annual financial performance goals established by the HR Committee early in each fiscal year. Starting in the Company's fiscal year 2022, a portion of AIP compensation for the Company's Leadership team is tied to achievement of EI&D goals.

Long-term

Incentive: PRSUs

Granted to drive focus on Tapestry’s long-term performance, align executive rewards with stockholders and link explicitly to achievement of long-term value creation. To further maximize Total Stockholder Return (TSR) growth, starting in the Company’s fiscal year 2023, a portion of the PRSU will be tied to Relative TSR.

Long-term

Incentive: RSUs

Granted to encourage retention. Although the number of shares earned is fixed, provided the executive is still employed, their value rises and falls with the price of our common stock, adding a performance element.

Long-term

Incentive: Stock Options

Granted to drive focus on Tapestry’s long-term performance and align executive rewards with stockholders. Stock options have value only when our stock price increases from the price on the date of grant so they are a critical motivational tool to support Tapestry’s success and growth; we utilize stock options because of this strong pay for performance relationship.

Base salary

Competitive base salaries are necessary to attract and retain qualified, high-performing executives. Prior experience, scope of responsibility and performance are key elements considered in setting base salaries.

Benefits & Limited Perquisites

Competitive benefits and modest perquisites are necessary to attract and retain qualified, high-performing executives.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The HR Committee routinely discusses the Company's strategy and programs with its executive compensation consultant, CAP. CAP advises the HR Committee on market trends and best practices, which the HR Committee considered in setting fiscal year 2022 and 2023 executive compensation. Significant actions are summarized in the table below:

	Compensation Program Changes			Rationale
	For Fiscal Year 2022
	Awarded salary increases to Ms. Crevoiserat, Mr. Glaser, and Ms. Fraser as part of the annual review cycle in September 2021.			To remain aligned with median total cash compensation for similar positions in our executive compensation peer group.
	Increased Ms. Crevoiserat’s annual target equity value from $6.5 million to $8.0 million.			To align more closely with median total compensation for CEOs in our executive compensation peer group.
	Increased Ms. Fraser's annual equity award value and changed the mix of her equity to 40% PRSUs, 40% Options and 20% RSUs.			To align more closely with median total compensation for similar positions in our executive compensation peer group. The new equity mix is consistent with the mix of equity awards received by other NEOs.
	Added EI&D component worth 10% of target AIP bonus for all Leadership, including NEOs. Designed as a scorecard with shared goals focused on fostering inclusive behaviors in our sourcing, recruitment and talent mobility practices and policies, and rewarding progress against our goals.			To hold leaders accountable for supporting inclusive behaviors and further incentivizing them to shape a culture that is equitable, inclusive and diverse, which will help us grow, attract talent and enhance performance.
	For AIP, tightened our performance curves.			To recognize economic recovery trends in our industry while still accounting for continued uncertainty related to the Covid-19 pandemic and supply chain interruptions.
	Reinstated PRSUs to annual program.			In line with our expectation that the fiscal year 2021 change to the pay mix would be a one-time action due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we reinstated our standard target mix to recognize normalized trends and ability to more accurately forecast long term goals.
	For Fiscal Year 2023
	Did not award merit salary increases for employees at the Leadership level, including NEOs, unless market data indicated a salary increase was necessary to remain competitive. No increases were necessary for NEOs.			To direct merit salary increase budget to more junior level employees in the organization and to stay in line with market benchmarking.
	Increased target annual bonus as a percent of salary for Ms. Crevoiserat.			To align more closely with median total compensation for CEOs in our executive compensation peer group.
	Increased annual equity values for Ms. Crevoiserat, Mr. Roe, Mr. Kahn and Ms. Fraser.			To align more closely with median total compensation for similar positions in our executive compensation peer group. For Mr. Roe, to also recognize his increased scope of becoming Chief Operating Officer, in addition to Chief Financial Officer.
	For the AIP, modified financial measures for go forward awards by replacing Inventory Turnover with Gross Margin and increasing weight of Sales.			To incentivize and reward management for delivering results that prioritize sustainable brand health and maximize TSR growth.
	For PRSU awards, modified financial measures for go forward awards by replacing Return on Net Assets (“RONA”) with Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”), removing Net Income, and adding Sales and Relative TSR. In addition, performance period increasing from two years to three years.			Similar to AIP, to incentivize and reward management for delivering results that prioritize sustainable brand health and maximize TSR growth over a longer time horizon.

Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation

Base Salary

Tapestry employees, including our NEOs, are paid a salary based on the responsibilities of their positions, the skills and experience required for the position, their individual performance, business performance, labor market conditions and with consideration to salary levels for similar positions in

our peer companies. During fiscal year 2022, the HR Committee approved the base salary rate increases for Mses. Crevoiserat and Fraser and Mr. Glaser, and did not increase the salaries of the other NEOs. The salary rates in effect during fiscal year 2022 for each NEO were as follows:

Named Executive Officer	FY22 Base Salary Rate⁽¹⁾	FY22 Salary Increase⁽²⁾	Salary Rate Effective Date
Joanne Crevoiserat	$1,350,000	4%	September 5, 2021
Scott Roe	$925,000	—%	June 1, 2021
Todd Kahn	$950,000	—%	April 12, 2021
Thomas Glaser	$825,000	3%	September 5, 2021
Liz Fraser	$850,000	6%	September 5, 2021

(1) Amounts shown are as of the close of fiscal year 2022.

(2) FY22 Salary Increase reflects the difference between the individual's salary at the end of fiscal year 2021 and the end of fiscal year 2022.

Annual Incentive Plan

The Tapestry AIP rewards eligible employees, including the NEOs, for achievement of financial performance targets and, starting in fiscal year 2022, EI&D measures, established by the HR Committee.

In setting the financial performance measures, targets and incentive payout schedule for the AIP, the HR Committee considered prior fiscal year performance, desired financial and operational performance levels in line with our annual operating plan, long-term strategic plan and general economic conditions. We tightened the performance curves to recognize economic recovery trends in our industry while still accounting for continued uncertainty related to the Covid-19 pandemic and supply chain interruptions. The HR Committee certified the results after the end of the fiscal year; while payouts varied, they were all between target and maximum depending on what segment the NEO was part of. The remainder of this section provides full details on the fiscal year 2022 AIP.

The fiscal year 2022 target award levels for each NEO were determined by the HR Committee based on the role and responsibility of each position and on peer company target award levels for similar positions.

The HR Committee set target values for fiscal year 2022 that aligned with the company’s operating plans, and required growth in Net Sales and Operating Income and maintained Inventory Turnover on a non-GAAP, constant currency basis versus fiscal year 2021 for Tapestry overall. These values were aligned with the Company’s strategic objective to drive long-term profitability, making necessary investments to support the health of its brands, while also drawing focus to

the agility and discipline required to maintain healthy levels of inventory. Initial AIP funding was determined based on performance versus pre-defined financial goals: Net Sales (25%), Operating Income (50%) and Inventory Turnover (25%). The HR Committee also set individual brand-level targets based on operating plans for each brand at the time, considering limited visibility due to impacts on the business from the Covid-19 pandemic. For NEOs leading a brand, corporate financial goals were weighted 40% and brand goals were weighted 60%.

The fiscal year 2022 target values were all set above 2021 maximum goals and actual results, with the exception of Inventory Turnover given the significant supply chain disruptions and the potential impacts that such disruptions were expected to have on our inventory levels. In setting the fiscal year 2022 threshold and maximum performance and payout values, the HR Committee considered several factors including the degree of difficulty in achieving each metric while balancing the extreme uncertainty driven by the Covid-19 pandemic. The HR Committee deemed these targets would be sufficiently challenging to merit payout of the target AIP awards. The maximum performance levels were set such that maximum payout would be achieved for truly outstanding results versus fiscal year 2021.

Fiscal year 2022 was the first year we introduced an EI&D AIP component for all Leadership, including NEOs. This was a new, additional component for our AIP. The EI&D component

functions as a potential negative modifier on financial performance, based on the HR Committee’s assessment of performance versus predefined, quantitative and qualitative goals.

Total potential payout for our AIP remained 0% to 200% of target incentive. Ten percent of the initial performance payout, based on results versus the pre-defined financial goals, was then adjusted through the EI&D modifier within a multiplier range of 90% to 100%. In this structure, we multiply the initial performance payout by 100% if we achieve our EI&D goals in full, resulting in no change to the initial performance payout. If we fail to achieve our EID goals, we multiply our initial performance payout by 90%, resulting in a 10% reduction in the initial performance payout. Partial achievement of our goals would result in a modifier between 90% and 100%.

The EI&D modifier was designed as a scorecard with shared goals focused on fostering behaviors in our sourcing, recruitment and talent mobility practices and policies, and rewarding progress against our goals to further shape and support a culture that is equitable, inclusive and diverse, which we believe is aligned with and supports long-term business objectives.

Actual AIP payments are made in cash, based on the degree to which the objectives have been achieved, as certified and approved by the HR Committee. No executive may receive an annual incentive payment exceeding $6.0 million under the AIP for any fiscal year.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The EI&D measures established by the HR Committee for the fiscal year 2022 AIP modifier evaluation are described below:

•	Increased BIPOC representation in the US Leadership team.

•	Expectations related to internal job postings for new roles and/or vacancy opportunities.

•	Expectations related to diverse candidate slates.

•	Reduced differences in measures of engagement based on ethnicity and gender in our employee survey.

Final payout for this AIP component was determined by the HR Committee through its evaluation of the scorecard and pre-defined criteria and related results; no component of the scorecard had a pre-assigned weighting.

Strong progress was made through diversifying our employee sourcing and recruitment process, new transparent job

posting policies, and listening to our employees by collecting their feedback throughout the year on their perception of inclusion.

Considering that a significant portion of objectives were achieved, but not all, and that meaningful results were observed, the HR Committee determined to apply a modest negative modifier for the EI&D component of the AIP, resulting in a reduction of 2% out of a possible 10%. The initial performance payouts were therefore multiplied by 98% (instead of 100%) to reflect partial achievement of our EI&D scorecard.

Looking forward to fiscal year 2023, Leadership will continue to have 10% of their target AIP tied to EI&D scorecard measures, with expanded components to drive continued and sustainable progress.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Non-GAAP Measures

As indicated above, the HR Committee used certain non-GAAP measures for the purpose of setting goals and/or to evaluate performance. The adjustments, including for the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, are set out in Appendix A. These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s primary internal financial reporting excluded these items affecting comparability. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s

ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of the business and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance. We also believe excluding the items affecting comparability assists investors in developing expectations of future performance.

The HR Committee believes it is appropriate to use constant currency performance measures for setting AIP goals and/or evaluating performance because it will incentivize management to make business decisions that drive the long-term sustainable performance of the Company rather than reacting to short-term currency fluctuations, which are largely outside of their control.

Bonuses

During fiscal year 2021, the HR Committee approved payment of a sign-on bonus to Mr. Roe of $500,000, $250,000 to be paid upon hire and $250,000 to be paid after six months of employment. The first portion of this bonus was paid in June 2021 which was in fiscal year 2021, with the second paid in

December 2021 and reflected in the Summary Compensation Table in the column “Bonus.” Mr. Roe would be required to repay the full amount of this $500,000 sign-on bonus in the event of his termination for cause or resignation without good reason within 24 months of June 1, 2021, his start date.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Long-term incentives (“LTI”) represent a significant proportion of compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and other NEOs, as described above, and are designed to align employee interests with those of our stockholders, reward employees for enhancing stockholder value and support retention of key employees. NEO’s awards are typically a mix of stock options (40%), PRSUs (40%) and RSUs (20%). In addition, approximately 2,450 of our employees, including nearly all of our store managers, received an annual long term equity award in fiscal year 2022. We offer an “Equity Choice” program, under which eligible employees may elect to receive their annual LTI in the form of stock options, RSUs or a combination of the two. Under this program, the ratio of stock options to RSUs is set so that the grant date fair market value of stock options and RSUs is approximately equal. Equity Choice is not available to our Chief Executive Officer or our other NEOs.

The number of PRSUs, stock options and/or RSUs granted to a NEO each year is based on a target grant value. The values granted are converted to shares based on the closing price of Tapestry common stock on the date of grant, and, in the case of stock options, on the estimated Black-Scholes value of the stock option. The exercise price for stock options is the closing price of Tapestry common stock on the grant date. Adjustments to the target grant value for each NEO may be made based on changes in the executive’s responsibilities and performance, changes in the competitive marketplace, or other factors determined by the HR Committee. From time to time, we also grant special PRSU and/or RSU awards as part of new hire agreements or other special circumstances. In fiscal year 2022 our burn rate (calculated as full value shares and stock options granted during the fiscal year divided by weighted average common shares outstanding excluding share repurchases) was 1.0%.

All awards are made under the terms and conditions of the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. Awards are made on predetermined dates. The majority of the awards are granted during or around the Board and HR Committee’s regularly scheduled August meetings, at approximately the same time that salary increases and AIP award payments are approved. Off-cycle grants for new hires and other special events may be made on the first business day of the month following such event.

Fiscal Year 2022 Long-Term Incentive Awards: In August 2021, the HR Committee granted the LTI awards shown in the table below to the NEOs with consideration given to median total compensation for NEOs in our industry, the competitive landscape for NEO talent, each executive’s performance and the Company's guidelines for executive compensation.

For the fiscal year 2022 grants made in August 2021, PRSUs have been reinstated as part of the annual equity mix (the “FY22-24 PRSUs”), The HR Committee continued to apply the same performance measures as used for the PRSUs granted in prior years:

•	Cumulative net income on a non-GAAP basis (weighted at 75%); and

•

Average return on net assets “RONA” (weighted at 25%). RONA is a non-GAAP measure designed to measure how effectively the Company manages its deployed assets. The numerator for RONA is non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (“EBITDAR”); the denominator is fixed assets (which includes an adjustment for operating leases) plus working capital (which excludes cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and current debt).

These metrics provide focus on effective achievement of our long-term strategy to build a global house of brands. The HR Committee believes a two-year performance period with three-year vesting is appropriate for these awards. This approach maintains multi-year goals, while reducing the impact of non-controllable events on the goal-setting process. The HR Committee set the performance targets for each measure aligned to the Company’s long-term strategic plan, and the maximum and threshold performance goals and payout levels to establish a clear, demanding performance standard, and to provide appropriate reward for that performance. For maximum performance, 200% of the target number of shares can be earned, and for threshold performance, 30% of the target number of shares can be earned.

In addition to the above shares, she is expected to earn 182,484 shares on November 2, 2022, subject to continued employment and terms established by the HR Committee.

Other Compensation and Benefit Elements

NEOs are eligible to participate in the same benefit programs as all of our full-time employees in the United States. These include:

•	health, life and disability insurance;

•	retirement savings plans;

•	the Company's Matching Gift Programs, under which the Company's foundation matches eligible employee donations to qualified charitable organizations;

•	a qualified employee stock purchase plan (the Amended and Restated Tapestry, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”)); and

•	relocation payments and reimbursements under the Company’s policies covering moving expenses for employees who must relocate as part of their employment at Tapestry.

The Company’s retirement plans consist of a qualified 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Savings Plan”) and a voluntary, non-qualified defined contribution plan (the “Executive Deferred Compensation Plan” or “EDCP”). Employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Savings Plan after completing one month of service; the Company matches 100% of employee contributions, up to 3% of compensation contributed and 50% of the next 2% of compensation contributed. These matching contributions are immediately vested.

Highly compensated employees whose annual target cash compensation exceeds the IRS 401(a)(17) compensation limit, are also eligible to participate in the EDCP. Under this plan, eligible employees, including our NEOs, may elect to defer a portion of their salary and/or annual incentive into the plan and invest the assets in substantially similar mutual funds as those offered under the qualified 401(k) Savings Plan. The Company matches 100% of employee contributions up to 3%, less the maximum company match available in the 401(k) Savings Plan. Deferral and distribution elections are made annually in accordance with IRS rules under Section 409A. Certain of our NEOs also maintain balances in the Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “SRP”), a non-qualified defined contribution plan frozen to new contributions as of December 31, 2015. Company contributions to the various retirement plans are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table and in the related footnote. Contributions, earnings and account balances for the EDCP and SRP are detailed in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table.

None of these benefits or perquisites are included in the base compensation on which annual incentives and retirement plan contributions are calculated.

Compensation Decision Making Process

Roles and Responsibilities

The HR Committee has overall responsibility for executive compensation at Tapestry, including the approval and oversight of compensation and benefit program administration for Tapestry’s NEOs, as well as other key executives at Tapestry. The HR Committee reviews and approves Tapestry’s annual and LTI compensation programs, including performance goals, as well as significant changes in the design of employee benefits programs. In fiscal year 2022, the HR Committee retained and utilized the services of the independent firm, CAP, to provide advice and recommendations on the amount and form of executive compensation. CAP reported to and took direction from the HR Committee, and management provided information and input to CAP's consultants at the HR Committee’s direction. CAP did not provide additional services to Tapestry or its affiliates in fiscal year 2022. The HR Committee, after taking into consideration all factors relevant to such independence, including, but not limited to factors specified in NYSE listing standards and Rule 10C-1(b)(4) of the Exchange Act, confirmed that CAP was independent and determined that no conflicts of interest existed between CAP and Tapestry.

During fiscal year 2022, CAP attended HR Committee meetings and met with the members of the HR Committee without management present, and advised the HR Committee on various compensation matters such as executive compensation levels and practices among our peer group, amounts and structure of compensation for new hires, and investor policies on executive compensation. CAP also advised the HR Committee on considerations with respect to including equity, inclusion and diversity measures as a portion of the Company’s AIP for Leadership starting in fiscal year 2022. CAP reviews and comments on materials prepared by management and also presents the HR Committee with its own analyses and recommendations. The HR Committee considered CAP's advice in its decision making on the compensation actions described in the sections Executive Summary and Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation. The CEO, Global Human Resources Officer and other members of management work with the HR Committee Chair and CAP to set meeting agendas and prepare materials for HR Committee meetings.

Certain members of management typically attend HR Committee meetings to present information on the Company and the competitive environment for talent, discuss compensation and benefits policies and provide technical advice. The CEO is responsible for reviewing the performance of certain key executives, including the NEOs (other than herself), and recommending changes in their compensation to the HR Committee for approval. The HR Committee consults with CAP and determines and approves changes in the CEO's compensation based on its own review of the CEO's performance and other factors in its discretion. The HR Committee considers information on all elements of compensation over a period of years, as well as the impact of various termination scenarios in evaluating the appropriateness of executive compensation. Actual pay earned by our NEOs in prior years from AIP and LTI compensation is reviewed but is not specifically taken into account by the HR Committee in making the current year’s compensation decisions.

Decisions to change a NEO's (other than the CEO) base salary, AIP opportunity and/or LTI award are based on various factors, including the judgment of our CEO and the HR Committee. They consider the scope of their positions and any changes to those responsibilities, the skills and experience required for the job, their individual performance, business performance, labor market conditions and peer company compensation levels based on public disclosure and purchased industry compensation surveys. Salary increases, AIP opportunity and/or LTI award changes are considered annually and upon significant role changes, and are based on both financial and non-financial results achieved by the Company and the NEO during the preceding fiscal year. All changes are subject to HR Committee approval.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Peer Group and Competitive Assessment of Compensation

Compensation at a defined group of companies is one reference point considered by the HR Committee and management in setting NEO compensation levels, although we do not attempt to link any single element of compensation to specific peer company percentiles or ratios. Pay practices at this group of companies are also reviewed by the HR Committee. The composition of the peer group is reviewed periodically and is determined by the HR Committee, considering input from its independent compensation consultant. In May 2021, following a regular review of the existing peer group by the HR Committee's consultant, CAP, the HR Committee approved revisions to the peer group, adding Levi Strauss & Co. and Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and removing Tiffany & Co., which increased the peer group to

15 companies for fiscal year 2022. The Company also replaced L Brands with Victoria’s Secret & Co, when it was spun off as a stand alone publicly traded company in August 2021. As a secondary reference point, the HR Committee considers publicly available data from the following foreign-listed and private companies with whom Tapestry competes for certain executive talent: Burberry Group plc, Hermes International, J. Crew Group, Inc., Kering S.A., and LVMH, as well as industry compensation surveys. The peer group used during fiscal year 2022 is shown below. It includes 15 companies whose aggregate profile was comparable to Tapestry in terms of size, industry, operating characteristics and/or competition for executive talent.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Additional Information

Clawback Policy: Adjustment or Recovery of Awards

Tapestry has a clawback policy that applies to any performance-based annual or LTIs awarded to our NEOs as well as other key executives.

Under the policy, in the event of a material restatement of Tapestry's financial results, the HR Committee will review the circumstances that caused the restatement and consider accountability to determine whether a covered employee was negligent or engaged in misconduct. If so, and if the amount paid in an annual incentive award or the shares vesting in a performance-based LTI award would have been less had the financial statements been correct, the HR Committee will

recover compensation from the covered employee as it deems appropriate. This policy is in addition to any requirements which might be imposed pursuant to Section 304 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and will be modified to the extent required by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and the related final rules of the SEC.

In addition, all of our LTI award agreements include a repayment provision in the event an award holder is terminated for cause (as defined in those agreements) or violates various non-compete or non-solicitation provisions, or other restrictive covenants included in those agreements.

Stock Ownership and Anti-Hedging Trading Policies

We believe that our NEOs should have a meaningful ownership stake in Tapestry in order to further align the interests of management and stockholders. Under our Stock Ownership Policy, each NEO is required to hold Company stock with a value at least equal to the multiple of his or her base salary set forth below.

	Title			Multiple of Salary
	Chief Executive Officer			5
	Tapestry Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Coach Brand President			3
	Kate Spade Brand President			2

Until the required ownership level is met, NEOs are required to retain 50% of net shares vested and options exercised until they reach such level, which is expected to happen within five years of the date a NEO is appointed to his or her position. Other Executive Officers are required to hold Company stock with values equal to two times their annual salaries, depending on position.

Ownership includes the equivalent of after-tax shares owned and shares equivalent of vested, unexercised, in-the-money stock options and unvested RSUs. PRSUs with incomplete performance periods do not count towards ownership. The HR Committee evaluates compliance with this policy annually, as of December 31.

As of the last measurement date (December 31, 2021):

•	Ms. Crevoiserat and Messrs. Kahn and Glaser owned the required number of shares; and

•	Mr. Roe and Ms. Fraser were making appropriate progress towards achieving their ownership requirement (all had less than two years with the Company at the time of measurement).

Under Tapestry's Insider Trading Policy, Tapestry employees and directors are prohibited from trading in Tapestry shares during certain prescribed blackout periods, typically beginning two weeks prior to the end of each fiscal quarter and ending two days after the public release of our quarterly earnings announcement. Tapestry employees and directors are prohibited from engaging in short sales, buying or selling derivative securities and other similar hedging activities related to Tapestry stock at all times.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatment

In designing our compensation and benefits programs, the HR Committee reviews and considers the accounting implications of its decisions, including the accounting treatment of amounts awarded or paid to our executives.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) limits the income tax deduction by Tapestry for compensation paid to certain executive officers to $1 million per year. As a result of amendments to Section 162(m) as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts of 2017, Tapestry is generally no longer able to take a deduction for any compensation paid to its current or former NEOs in excess of $1 million, with the exception of compensation pursuant to a binding written agreement in place on November 2, 2017, which can be exempt from the deduction limit if applicable requirements are met.

Other provisions of the IRC can also affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the IRC, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes a 20% additional tax and an interest penalty on the recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. The HR Committee takes into account the potential implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and intends to structure any non-qualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT

Management periodically reviews and shares with the HR Committee our compensation policies and practices and evaluates the degree to which they may motivate any employee, including our NEOs, to take on inappropriate or excessive risk. We believe that our various compensation programs are aligned to our strategy and objectives, and that they encourage prudent risk-taking to drive performance. As a result of its review and evaluation of our fiscal year 2022 compensation programs, the HR Committee, together with its independent compensation consultant, CAP, determined that our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Tapestry.

Factors evaluated by management and the HR Committee include the overall mix of pay between base salary, annual and long-term incentives, the performance metrics used in each program, the range of performance required to earn a payout under each program and incentive plan components such as maximum payouts, vesting, stock ownership requirements and clawbacks.

Some of the key factors supporting the HR Committee’s conclusion that our programs do not drive inappropriate or excessive risk include capped payouts on all of our incentive plans, use of multiple, counter-balancing financial performance criteria in our AIP and Long-Term Incentive Plan, executive and Independent Director stock ownership and anti-hedging policies, a market competitive weight on each component of pay, multiple year vesting for long-term incentives, a variety of performance metrics for PRSUs and an incentive compensation clawback policy.

When the HR Committee and management are developing new or modified compensation programs and selecting performance measures for annual and long-term incentives, risk taking is considered and affects decisions accordingly.

(1) These columns represent the range of possible cash payouts for fiscal year 2022 associated with established levels of performance under the AIP. If performance falls below the pre-established thresholds, the payout is $0. Amounts actually earned are displayed in the Summary Compensation Table. For details please see the section titled Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation—Annual Incentive Plan.

(2) These columns represent the range of possible share payouts associated with pre-established levels of performance for PRSUs granted in fiscal year 2022. If performance falls below the pre-established thresholds, no shares will be earned or distributed. These awards are described in the section titled Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation—Long Term Incentive Plan.

(3) The exercise price for stock option grants is the closing stock price on the date of grant.

(4) The amounts reported represent the grant date fair value of all stock and option awards granted to NEOs in fiscal year 2022. For RSU grants, the grant date fair value is calculated using the closing price of Tapestry common stock on the grant date, for stock options, the grant date fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes value as of the grant date, and for the PRSU grants, the grant date fair value is determined using the closing price of Tapestry common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of these awards are described in a footnote 4 to the Summary Compensation Table. Annual stock options and annual RSUs vest 25% per year over four years; annual PRSUs earned after completion of the two-year performance period will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Employment Agreements and Compensatory Arrangements

Messrs. Glaser, Kahn and Roe and Mses. Crevoiserat and Fraser

Messrs. Glaser, Kahn and Roe and Mses. Crevoiserat and Fraser are not subject to fixed term employment contracts. However, each agreed to employment offer letters with the Company upon the commencement of their employment and various supplemental letter agreements entered into, as applicable.

Each of Messrs. Glaser, Kahn and Roe and Mses. Crevoiserat and Fraser is required to provide the Company with six-months’ advance written notice of his or her intent to terminate employment with Tapestry. Under the terms of each letter agreement, failure of the executive to comply with this notice provision results in the Company being entitled to an immediate injunction prohibiting him or her from commencing employment elsewhere for the length of the required notice and being entitled to claw back any cash incentive paid within 180 days of his or her last day of employment, the forfeiture of any unpaid cash incentive or unvested RSU or stock option or vested stock option as of his or her last day of employment and the ability to claw back any Financial Gain (as defined in each equity award grant agreement) realized from the vesting of any equity award within the 12 months preceding his or her last day of employment with Tapestry.

Mr. Glaser’s letter agreement also provides that upon his voluntary resignation from the Company after attaining age 64 with not less than five (5) completed years of service with the Company he will receive retirement treatment under his equity award agreements. Mr. Glaser notified the Company that would be voluntarily resigning from the Company, effective October 1, 2022. Mr. Glaser’s resignation does not qualify as retirement under the terms of his offer letter or his equity grant agreements. Ms. Crevoiserat and Mr. Roe’s letter agreements each provide that upon their voluntary resignation from the Company after attaining age 62 with not less than five (5) completed years of service with the Company, they will receive retirement treatment under their equity award agreements. All other executives are subject to the standard retirement requirements discussed below under Treatment of Long-Term Incentives Upon Termination or Change in Control. Mr. Kahn is currently eligible for retirement treatment. See Treatment of Long-Term Incentives Upon Termination or Change in Control for a summary of such treatment.

Each of the executive’s letter agreements, other than Ms. Crevoiserat’s agreement, provides for 12-months of base salary and health benefits continuation under the Severance Pay Plan for Vice Presidents and Above (the “Severance Pay Plan”) in the event he or she is terminated without “Cause” or, for Ms. Fraser and Messrs. Glaser and Roe, if they resign for “Good Reason.” Ms. Fraser and Mr. Glaser are also entitled to

payment of AIP for completed fiscal years. Ms. Crevoiserat’s agreement provides for 24-months of base salary and benefits continuation, as well as pro-rated AIP payment based on actual performance in the event she is terminated without “Cause” or resigns for “Good Reason.”

Under each of the executive’s letter agreements, “Cause” is defined as (i) violation of Tapestry’s employee guide or written policies and procedures, (ii) violation of any of the Company’s policies regarding sexual harassment and misconduct, (iii) indictment, conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to a felony or crime of moral turpitude, (iv) willful or grossly negligent breach of duties, (v) any act of fraud, embezzlement or other similar dishonest conduct, (vi) any act or omission that Tapestry determines could have a material adverse effect on Tapestry, (vii) failure to follow the lawful directives of his or her supervisor, (viii) breach of his or her letter agreement or other written agreement between with Tapestry or any of its affiliates; or (ix) for breach of certain representations.

Under Mses. Crevoiserat and Fraser’s and Mr. Glaser’s letter agreements, “Good Reason” is defined as (i) material diminution of respective position and title, or comparable role; or (ii) relocation of Tapestry’s executive offices more than 50 miles outside of New York City; or, for Ms. Crevoiserat, (iii) a reduction in her base salary of more than 20%, other than a reduction that is also applied to members of the Company’s Executive Committee or equivalent body or (iv) the Company’s material breach of the terms of her letter agreement, subject to certain notice and cure periods described in each letter agreement. Under Mr. Roe’s letter agreement, “Good Reason” is defined as Mr. Roe ceasing to be the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) without his consent, subject to certain notice and cure periods described in the letter agreement.

The Company has also adopted the Tapestry, Inc. Special Severance Plan (the “Special Severance Plan”), which is intended to provide benefits to designated employees of the Company who are members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees (as determined in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA) in the event their employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason, each as set forth in the plan upon or within 24 months following a Change in Control (a “Qualifying Termination”). In the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Company shall provide the participants under the Special Severance Plan with severance payment amounts equal to the sum of such participant’s Base Salary plus Bonus (each as defined in the Special Severance Plan) multiplied by a certain severance

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

multiple applicable to each participant depending on position, pro-rated bonus based on actual performance, in addition to COBRA and accelerated vesting of unvested awards granted on or after the adoption of the plan. Under the Special Severance Plan, Ms. Crevoiserat is entitled to a multiple of 2.5 times; all other NEOs are entitled to severance multiples of 1.5 times.

Please refer to Treatment of Long-Term Incentives Upon Termination or Change in Control below for a discussion of the impact of a termination on annual stock options, PRSUs and RSUs.

Treatment of Long-Term Incentives Upon Termination or Change in Control

In general, the annual stock option, PRSU and RSU grants made to our NEOs and outstanding as of the end of fiscal year 2022 are treated as indicated below in the event of termination or change-in-control. The HR Committee retains discretion to modify the terms of any agreement in certain situations.

	Reason for Termination			Treatment of Unvested Awards
	Voluntary (including a resignation without “Good Reason,” as defined above under Employment Agreements and Compensatory Arrangements)			Unvested awards forfeit. Vested stock options remain exercisable for 90 days.
	Retirement (departure from the Company, other than for cause, if employee has attained age 65 and five years of service or age 55 and ten years of service with the Company)			Unvested awards remain outstanding and become vested according to their original schedule, subject to compliance with the restrictive covenants through the last vesting date. The number of PRSUs that vest is based on actual company performance. Vested options continue to be exercisable for the remainder of the ten-year term.
	Severance Event (including resignation with “Good Reason” or termination without “Cause,” as defined above under Employment Agreements and Compensatory Arrangements)			Unvested awards vest pro-rata as of the employee’s termination date. The number of PRSUs that ultimately vest will be based on actual performance relative to the pre-established targets. Exercisability of vested stock options continues for the 90 days following termination date.
	Death or Long-Term Disability			Vesting of unvested awards and target PRSUs is accelerated. The estate (or the executive) may exercise stock options for five years.
	Termination upon a Change-in-Control			Vesting of unvested awards is accelerated (at target performance for PRSUs if prior to completion of performance period).
	Cause (as defined above under Employment Agreements and Compensatory Arrangements)			Vested and unvested stock options and unvested RSUs and PRSUs forfeit, and financial gains realized in the twelve months prior to termination must be repaid.
	Change-in-Control without termination			Outstanding awards shall continue vesting as scheduled assuming continued employment, or an equivalent award shall be substituted by the successor corporation. PRSUs shall be deemed earned at target performance if Change-in-Control is prior to end of performance period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The tables below reflect the amount of compensation that would have been owed to each of our NEOs in the event of employment termination, including due to a change in control, on July 2, 2022. The tables include amounts earned through July 2, 2022, as well as estimates of the amounts which would have been paid to such NEOs following that date. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of a NEO’s termination.

Regardless of the reason for a NEO’s termination of employment, a NEO may be entitled to receive amounts earned during the term of employment. Such amounts include:

•	any vested balance in our qualified and non-qualified retirement plans;

•	the ability to convert life insurance at the NEO’s own expense;

•	the ability to exercise vested stock options for a defined period of time.

In the event a NEO dies or is terminated due to disability, such NEO or beneficiary would receive benefits under our broad-based life insurance or long-term disability plan, as appropriate.

The amounts of compensation due upon various termination situations reflect the specific employment terms and conditions for each executive as described above under Employment Agreements and Compensatory Arrangements, and were calculated using the following assumptions:

•

LTI amounts reflect the intrinsic value of unvested stock options, RSUs and PRSUs whose vesting would be pro-rated, accelerated or continued due to the termination, assuming a closing price of our common stock on July 1, 2022 of $30.82 the last trading day before the assumed termination date. For termination reasons in which the value of PRSUs earned depends on satisfaction of the performance criteria, FY19-21 PRSUs reflect no shares earned, FY20-22 PRSUs reflect actual performance of 14.2% of target, as certified by the HR Committee in August 2021, and FY21-22 Acceleration PRSUs assume maximum performance.

•	The HR Committee does not exercise its discretion to pro-rata vest, increase or decrease any equity awards.

•	The values shown for continuation of benefits and perquisites reflect our cost for each program as of July 2, 2022. These costs may change annually.

•	The “Total” row represents the sum of all estimated payments in the column.

(1) Pursuant to Ms. Fraser’s employment offer letter with the Company, Ms. Fraser may receive, based on the sole discretion of the Company, total compensation of up to $850,000, equal to 12 months’ salary, in exchange for enforcement of the non-competition provisions of such offer letter for up to the 12-month period following her separation from the Company.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”), the following information explains the relationship of the annual total compensation of our median employee to the annualized total compensation of Ms. Crevoiserat, our CEO at the end of fiscal year 2022. We used the same median employee as was identified for fiscal year 2021 because we believe there have been no changes to our employee population or compensation arrangements that would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure.

We determined the following in compliance with the requirements set forth in Item 402(u) of SEC Regulation S-K:

•	The total compensation of our median employee was $29,147;

•	The total annualized compensation of Ms. Crevoiserat was $13,739,426; and

•	The ratio of the median employee’s pay to that of Ms. Crevoiserat was 1 to 471.

Ms. Crevoiserat’s compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table was used for purposes of calculating the ratio. For purposes of the pay ratio, both the CEO’s and median employee’s annual total compensation were calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Our median employee is a full time sales associate working in a retail store in Asia. To identify the median employee and determine his or her annual total compensation, we used the following methodology in fiscal year 2021, consistent with SEC regulations:

•	We selected May 3, 2021 as the determination date, two months before the end of our fiscal year 2021.

•

At that time, we prepared a file of our consolidated global payroll records. As of the determination date, our analysis included approximately 17,300 employees working in 27 countries. This figure represented all our employees globally with the exception of 286 employees working in Australia and New Zealand. This group was fewer than 5% of our total population and therefore was excluded from our analysis using the de minimis exemption.

•

We utilized actual base salary paid in fiscal year 2021 from our payroll records as our consistently applied compensation measure to identify the median employee. We converted compensation for employees paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates as of the end of fiscal year 2021.

•	We examined a small group of employees for whom actual base salary was clustered within a few dollars around the median. From this group we selected an individual we determined to be reasonably representative of our median employee.

•	Employee Stock Purchase Plan: 655,518

(4) Includes outstanding deferred stock units held by the 2000 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors, under which certain of Tapestry’s Outside Directors previously deferred certain elements of their compensation. Since November 2018, director compensation and deferrals are administered under the stockholder-approved 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. The Board froze this program to new deferrals effective February 2020. Amounts deferred under these plans may, at the participants’ election, be either represented by deferred stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of Tapestry common stock, on a one-for-one basis, on the distribution date elected by the participant, or placed in an interest-bearing account to be paid on such distribution date. Deferred stock units are valued as if each deferral were invested in Tapestry common stock as of the deferral date. Deferred stock units do not have voting rights, but are credited with dividend equivalents.

(1)	See pages 43-44 of the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal year 2022 for a detailed description of certain items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the 10-K for fiscal years 2022 and 2021.

These non-GAAP performance measures were used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results for the periods affected. Management and the Company’s Board utilized these non-GAAP measures to make decisions about the uses of Company resources, analyze performance between periods, develop internal projections and measure management performance. The Company’s primary internal financial reporting excluded these items affecting comparability. In addition, the HR Committee of the Company’s Board used these non-GAAP measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating and financial results in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance and understanding how such results compare with the Company’s historical performance.

Additionally, we believe presenting certain increases and decreases in constant currency provides a framework for assessing the performance of the Company's business outside the United States and helps investors and analysts understand

the effect of significant year-over-year currency fluctuations. We believe non-GAAP measures assist investors in developing expectations of future performance. By providing the non-GAAP measures, as a supplement to GAAP information, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, when setting the targets for the fiscal year 2022 AIP in August 2021, the HR Committee approved the exclusion regarding the sales impact of unplanned store closures, primarily as a direct result of regional government-mandated shutdowns of the retail sector within our fiscal year 2022. The HR Committee also approved the exclusion of any unbudgeted changes to tariffs, including changes due to the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) not being reinstated in the United States during fiscal year 2022, which was originally contemplated in the Company’s outlook. Both exclusions were applied to the Coach and Kate Spade brands.

A quorum is required for the Tapestry stockholders to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person via the webcast or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting on any matter will constitute a quorum, permitting us to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting.

Proxies received but marked as abstentions, if any, and broker non-votes described below, will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of obtaining a quorum.

11. What is the voting requirement to approve the proposals?

With respect to election of Directors (Proposal No. 1), our Bylaws provide that Directors will be elected by a majority of the total votes cast “FOR” and “AGAINST” each nominee in the election of Directors at the Annual Meeting, either in person or

by properly completed or authorized proxy. This means that the number of shares voted “FOR” a nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “AGAINST” that nominee. There are no cumulative voting rights. Abstentions and broker non-votes

will not have any effect on the election of Directors. See “What happens if a Director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast?” below for information concerning our Director resignation policy.

Approval of Proposals No. 2 and 3 requires, in each case, “FOR” votes from a majority of the votes cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by properly completed or authorized proxy.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on Proposals No. 2 and No. 3. Additionally, as discussed below, there will not be broker non-votes with regard to Proposal No. 2 as it is a routine matter.

12. What if I don't vote? What if I abstain? How are broker non-votes counted?

If you hold your shares in street name, based on current NYSE rules, your broker will NOT be able to vote your shares with respect to the election of Directors or the non-binding advisory approval of executive compensation. If you have not provided directions to your broker, we strongly encourage you to do so and exercise your right to vote as a stockholder. However, the NYSE considers Proposal No. 2, regarding the ratification of the appointment of D&T, a routine matter. Thus, your broker or nominee may vote on your behalf with regard to Proposal

No. 2, whether or not you provide voting instructions. When a proposal is not a routine matter and a brokerage firm has not received voting instructions from a beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. This is called a broker non-vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes are generally not considered votes cast and will have no effect on the proposals.

13. What happens if a Director nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast?

Under our Corporate Governance Principles, a Director nominee, running uncontested, who does not receive a majority of the votes cast, is required to tender his or her resignation for consideration by the GN Committee. The GN Committee will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation.

The Board will act on the tendered resignation and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days following certification of the election results. Unless all Directors have tendered their resignation, any Director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the Board’s decision with respect to his or her resignation.

14. Can I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy?

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is exercised at the meeting. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can revoke your proxy by sending written notice to the Secretary of Tapestry before the Annual Meeting. Second, you can authorize online or send the Secretary of Tapestry a later-dated, signed proxy before the meeting. Third, if you are

a holder of record, you can attend the meeting through our live online webcast and submit your vote electronically. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank and you do not have your control number, you must contact your brokerage firm or bank for instructions on how to change your vote.

15. If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

Your broker will vote your shares only if the proposal is a matter on which your broker has discretion to vote (which is limited to the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s

independent registered public accounting firm) or if you provide directions on how to vote by following the instructions provided to you by your broker.

16. Who will count the votes?

All votes will be tabulated by Broadridge Financial Solutions, the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting.

17. Where can I find voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the meeting and publish final results in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of the Annual Meeting.
