Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Item 9A - Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures”, (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act)). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, are included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
The Company is undergoing a multi-year technology transformation which includes updating and modernizing our merchandise selling system, as well as certain accounting and finance systems. These updates are expected to continue for the next few years, and management will continue to evaluate the design and implementation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as the transformation continues. No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal fourth quarter ended January 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B - Other Information
On March 20, 2025 , Marvin R. Ellison , the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer , adopted a trading plan intended to satisfy Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to sell up to 58,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over a period ending on May 29, 2026 , subject to certain conditions, including an initial cooling off period before any sales can commence. After the contemplated sales, which Mr. Ellison has stated are for estate planning purposes, Mr. Ellison will continue to have a significant stake in the Company, with the shares subject to the trading plan representing less than 8% of the Company shares beneficially owned by Mr. Ellison, as determined under SEC rules, as well as holding additional performance share units, stock options, and restricted stock awards that remain subject to vesting over the course of his continued employment pursuant to the terms of the awards.
