On June 4, 2026, Victoria’s Secret & Co. (the “Company”) issued the following letter to stockholders of the Company, a copy of which was sent to stockholders in the format attached hereto as a courtesy PDF.
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Victoria’s Secret & Co.’s (“VS&Co” or the “Company”) 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) is on Thursday, June 11 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) needs your support to continue driving the Company’s outperformance.
On June 2, VS&Co reported strong first quarter 2026 results that significantly exceeded top- and bottom-line guidance and reflected the progress we are making against our Path to Potential strategy. The market responded with a record one-day increase in our share price, reinforcing confidence in our strategy.
Our results reflect broad-based momentum across categories, channels and geographies. In the first quarter we:
| • | Delivered double-digit sales growth across Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Beauty |
| • | Achieved our fourth consecutive quarter of positive comps |
| • | Drove double-digit growth in new customer acquisition and continued customer file expansion |
| • | Continued to outperform the broader intimates market and grew our market share |
Based on our strong performance and confidence in the business, we raised our full-year 2026 outlook for both net sales and adjusted operating income
As CEO Hillary Super stated on our earnings call:
“We are increasingly confident in the trajectory of the business. Our teams are executing with greater precision and agility. Victoria’s Secret, PINK and Beauty are gaining cultural relevance and expanding their customer files. We also have a robust calendar of collaborations, partnerships and high-impact brand moments ahead including the return of the fashion show, where we plan to extend the halo even further. More people are engaging with our brands, talking about our brands and participating in our brand moments. That growing engagement is creating a multiplier effect across the business and gives us confidence in our ability to sustain growth over time.”
This momentum is the direct outcome of the decisive actions taken by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), led by Chair Donna James, and the management team to reposition VS&Co for long-term growth and value creation.
The Path to Potential Strategy Is Delivering Strong Results for Shareholders
A little more than a year ago, we launched our Path to Potential strategy to strengthen our brands, deepen customer engagement and unlock long-term value. Today, strong execution is driving progress in each pillar of our strategy:
SUPERCHARGE OUR BRA AUTHORITY
| • | Bras delivered profitable double-digit growth, contributing significantly to overall company growth, with broad-based strength across silhouettes and price tiers. |
RECOMMIT TO PINK
| • | PINK generated profitable double-digit growth, with strong growth in core apparel and intimates and improved regular-price selling. |
FUELING GROWTH IN BEAUTY
| • | Beauty accelerated to profitable double-digit growth, demonstrating encouraging momentum driven by continued strength in fine fragrance and mists. |
EVOLVE OUR BRAND PROJECTION AND GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY
| • | Our brand projection and go-to-market strategy is continuing to build momentum, increasing brand relevance and customer file growth at VS and PINK. |
Under CEO Hillary Super’s leadership, and with the support of the Board’s active oversight and strategic guidance, VS&Co is executing a compelling strategy that is creating significant shareholder value.
Since the Board announced Ms. Super’s appointment in August 2024, VS&Co has delivered total shareholder return (“TSR”) of 314%, significantly outperforming the peer group used by research analysts, the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution Retail index and the S&P 600.1
All Independent Proxy Advisory Firms Support the Company’s Highly Qualified Director Nominees
All three independent proxy advisors, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), Glass Lewis & Co and Egan-Jones Proxy Services, recommend that VS&Co shareholders vote “FOR” all nine of the Company’s director nominees, including Independent Chair Donna James.
Their recommendation to support all our highly qualified director nominees reaffirms that our Board is best positioned to continue overseeing the successful execution of our Path to Potential strategy and continued value creation for shareholders.
At this critical moment, shareholders face a clear choice: continue building on the substantial progress already underway or risk disrupting a strategy that is delivering tangible results.
We encourage shareholders to allow the Board and management team to continue driving this momentum. Your Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote on the WHITE proxy card “FOR” all of VS&Co’s highly qualified director nominees.
We appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely,
The Victoria’s Secret & Co. Board of Directors
