EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously reported, on August 13, 2020, Birks Group Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). That section applies if a listed company has stockholders’ equity of less than U.S. $4.0 million and has reported losses from operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. Furthermore, on December 9, 2020, the Company was notified by the NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide. That section applies if a listed company has stockholders’ equity of less than U.S. $2.0 million and has reported losses from operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. Lastly, on June 25, 2021, the Company was notified by the NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide which applies if a listed company has stockholders’ equity of less than U.S. $6.0 million and has reported losses from operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

In accordance with the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide, the Company submitted its plan of compliance on September 6, 2020 addressing how the Company intended to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide. On October 22, 2020, the NYSE American notified the Company that it accepted the compliance plan and granted the Company an extension for its continued listing until February 6, 2022 (the “Plan Period”). During the Plan Period, the Company submitted quarterly plan updates for review by the NYSE American, such quarterly updates were all accepted by the NYSE American.

As shown below, the Company’s pro forma stockholders’ equity as of February 6, 2022, is approximately U.S. $7.1 million which is above the U.S. $6.0 million required to comply with Sections 1003(a)(i) through (iii) of the Company Guide as of the end of the Plan Period. As a result, the Company received a letter from the NYSE American confirming that the Company regained compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide as of the end of the Plan Period.

The pro forma financial information above is provided for informational purposes only and has not been audited by our independent auditors.

On February 7, 2022, the Company issued a press release regarding the matters discussed above. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
