Transition, Separation and Release of Claims Agreement

This Transition, Separation and Release of Claims Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Levi Strauss & Co. (“LS&Co.” or the “Company”) and Harmit Singh (the “Executive”) (together, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, the Parties previously entered into an Employment Offer Letter dated December 10, 2012 (the “Offer Letter”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to employ the Executive as the Company’s Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, as later promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Growth Officer (the “Prior Position”), and the Executive accepted such employment;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to document the terms and conditions of the Executive’s transition from the Prior Position to the role of Special Advisor (the “Special Advisor”), effective as of the end of business on the first to occur of (a) the date on which an individual, other than the Executive, commences in the role of Chief Financial Officer of the Company and (b) November 30, 2026 (the “Transition Date”);

WHEREAS, the Parties intend that the Executive’s transition from the Prior Position to the role of Special Advisor, and the Executive’s ultimate retirement from the Company following the conclusion of the Term (as defined below) pursuant to the terms hereof, shall constitute a termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Levi Strauss & Co. Senior Executive Severance Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2025 (the “Plan”)) under the Plan and the Offer Letter, entitling, among other things, the Executive to the benefits and consideration under the Plan and Offer Letter as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, effective as of the Transition Date, this Agreement (including all separate plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements referenced herein) will supersede the Offer Letter and the Plan in their entirety and the Offer Letter and the Plan shall be of no further force or effect.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:

1.Term of Employment. With effect as of the Transition Date, the Executive will serve as an employee of the Company in the position of Special Advisor for the period commencing on the Transition Date and ending on the earlier of (a) the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5hereof and (b) November 30, 2026 (the “Separation Date,” and such period, the “Term”). Effective as of the Transition Date, this Agreement (including all separate plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements referenced herein) supersedes the Offer Letter and the Plan.

2.Position.

a.Effective as of the Transition Date, the Executive shall cease services as the Prior Position and shall commence serving solely as Special Advisor to the Company. During the

Term, the Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As the Special Advisor, the Executive shall have such duties as shall be reasonably determined from time to time by the Company, including, as requested by the Company, (i) supporting the transition of the responsibilities of the Prior Position and (ii) such other advisory and transition-related services as may reasonably be requested by the Company. During the Term, the Executive shall devote such sufficient time as is necessary to perform the duties hereunder, but shall not be required to sign any of the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

b.The Parties intend that, during the Term, the Executive shall continue to provide bona fide services to the Company as an employee and shall not incur a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section 19below) or Section 1.39 of the Levi Strauss & Co. Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives and Outside Directors (the “DCP”) prior to the Separation Date.

c.Effective as of the Transition Date, the Executive shall resign, and shall be deemed to have resigned, from any officer, director and other positions he then holds with the Company and its affiliates, except for the Special Advisor role, and shall not be an “officer” for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

3.Compensation During the Term. For the period commencing on the Transition Date and ending on the Separation Date, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his current base salary as of the Transition Date (the “Advisory Fee”). Any payments payable pursuant hereto shall be payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices and shall be subject to any required withholdings and deductions. The Executive will remain eligible to earn an annual incentive award under the Levi Strauss & Co. Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) for the Company’s fiscal year 2026, without proration, and subject to the terms and conditions of such plan applicable to such fiscal year; provided, however, that for all purposes Executive shall be deemed to be employed on the payment date and otherwise meet all eligibility requirements under the AIP, and for purposes of any individual performance conditions applicable to the Executive under the AIP for fiscal year 2026, the Executive shall be deemed to have achieved such individual performance conditions at 100% of target. The Executive shall not be eligible for any annual incentive award in respect of fiscal year 2027 or any later fiscal year, nor shall the Executive be eligible to receive any new grants of long-term incentive award or other cash or equity-based award following the date hereof, including, without limitation, any award under the Levi Strauss & Co. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the compensation payable pursuant to this Section 3shall be the only cash compensation the Executive shall be eligible to receive during the Term; provided, however, that the Executive shall remain eligible for any compensation or benefits expressly provided under Section 7and Exhibit Ahereof.

4.Benefits During the Term. During the Term, the Executive (and eligible dependents) shall remain entitled to participate in applicable Company benefit plans available to similarly situated employees, subject to the terms of such plans.

The Company agrees it will not terminate Executive without Cause (but may, for the avoidance of doubt, require Executive to work remotely and or place the Executive on “garden leave” or otherwise limit the Executive’s duties hereunder) during the Term. Upon any termination, the Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Amounts (as defined in Section 6). In the event of a termination due to the Executive’s death or Disability, or a resignation by the Executive for Good Reason

prior to November 30, 2026, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, a termination for Cause or a voluntary resignation without Good Reason by the Executive, the Executive or his estate shall be eligible to receive the payments and benefits described in Section 7, subject, in each case, to the execution and non-revocation of the Waiver and Release of Claims Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Second Release”) and continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or the Executive resigns voluntarily without Good Reason, in each case prior to November 30, 2026, the Executive shall have no further right to receive any compensation, payments or benefits under this Agreement other than the Accrued Amounts.

(i)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without the Executive’s prior written consent: (x) a material reduction of the Executive’s base salary or target annual bonus, in each case relative to those set forth in this Agreement; (y) the relocation of the Executive’s principal business location to an office more than fifty (50) miles from the principal place of business on the date hereof; provided, that requiring the Executive to work from his primary residence shall not constitute Good Reason under this clause (ii); or (z) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement. For each event described above, the Executive must notify the Company within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of the event, and the Company shall have thirty (30) days after receiving such notice in which to cure such event. If the Company fails to cure, the Executive’s voluntary termination shall not be considered to be for Good Reason unless the Executive voluntarily terminates employment not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the cure period.

6.Accrued Amounts. As of the date of termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, the Company will provide the Executive with the following amounts: (a) the portion of the Advisory Fee, as applicable, earned through the Separation Date, but not yet paid to the Executive, (b) any accrued but unused vacation or paid time off to the extent required to be paid by applicable law or Company policy, and (c) any vested amount accrued and arising from the Executive’s participation in the Company’s tax-qualified retirement plans and other employee benefit plans in which the Executive participates, which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans and applicable law (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”). Except for COBRA continuation coverage, the Executive’s group health benefits will end at the end of the month of the Separation Date. Whether or not the Executive signs this Agreement, the Executive may be eligible to continue receiving group health benefits pursuant to the federal COBRA law. The details of COBRA continuation will be provided with the Executive’s exit package.

7.Separation Benefits.

a.General Conditions. As consideration for the Executive’s execution of, non-revocation of, and compliance with the Executive’s waiver and release of claims in Section 8of this Agreement, and subject to the Executive’s continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company agrees to provide the Executive with (i) the opportunity to earn the Advisory Fee consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) in the event that (x) the Executive serves as a Special Advisor in a manner materially consistent with the terms of this Agreement through November 30, 2026, or (y) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or due to the Executive’s death or Disability, prior to November 30, 2026, then contingent upon the Executive’s execution of, non-revocation of, and compliance with the Second Release within twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date, and subject to the Executive’s continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the severance payments and benefits set forth below. The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement and the payments and benefits provided hereunder are in lieu of, and not in addition to, payments

and benefits to which the Executive may have otherwise been entitled to receive upon a termination of employment under the Plan or otherwise.

b.Cash Severance. The Executive shall receive cash severance in an aggregate amount equal to $3,000,000 (such amount, the “Cash Severance”). The Cash Severance shall commence on the first regularly-scheduled payroll date (not to exceed thirty (30) days) following the date on which the Second Release becomes effective and no longer subject to revocation and shall be payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s ordinary course payroll practices for seventy-eight (78) weeks thereafter.

c.Group Health Benefits. If the Executive is eligible for and properly elects continued group medical coverage through COBRA, then LS&Co. will subsidize the cost of medical coverage under COBRA for seventy-eight (78) weeks (such period, the “COBRA Period”). The subsidy will reduce the COBRA continuation coverage cost so that the Executive will pay an amount in premiums equivalent to the dollar value of the contribution required for active employees, plus a two percent (2%) administrative fee. The LS&Co. subsidy, and the COBRA Period, will cease upon the Executive’s accepting other employment and becoming eligible for group medical benefits through another employer, whether or not the Executive elects to participate in such plan. There is no COBRA subsidy for dental, vision, or medical reimbursement account benefits. If LS&Co. determines that it cannot provide a COBRA subsidy without potentially violating applicable laws, LS&Co. will provide to the Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the excess of the monthly COBRA premium that the Executive is required to pay to continue COBRA continuation coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents’ medical coverage over the premium for medical coverage that the Executive would be required to pay for such coverage if the Executive were participating in the medical plan as an active employee. This amount will be paid, net of tax withholding, with the first regularly-scheduled payroll period during each month of the COBRA Period.

d.Outplacement Benefits.The Executive will be able to participate in any outplacement counseling and job search benefits made available by the Company at the Separation Date for a period of time consistent with Section 3.2(b) of the Plan that will end no later than December 31 of the second year following the Separation Date.

e.Equity Awards.The Executive is retirement eligible for purposes of all outstanding and unvested awards under the Company’s Equity Plan. The Executive shall receive “Retirement” (as defined in the applicable award agreements) treatment with regards to all his equity (including the January 2026 grant, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or award agreements) following the Separation Date for all purposes of outstanding, unvested awards under the Equity Plan consistent with the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan and award agreements granted thereunder, as modified herein.

f.Annual Bonus Opportunity.The Executive shall remain eligible to earn an annual incentive award in respect of the Company’s fiscal year 2026 under the AIP under the terms of Section 3 above, subject to the Levi Strauss & Co. Amended and Restated Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation, as amended from time to time, as well as any clawback policy adopted by the Company and any compensation recovery policy otherwise required by applicable law. Notwithstanding any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or due to the Executive’s death or Disability prior to the payment date, the Executive shall remain eligible to earn and receive such fiscal year 2026 annual incentive award, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

g.Additional Advisory Fee. In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates due to the Executive’s death or Disability, or by the Executive for Good Reason prior to November 30, 2026, the Company will pay an additional severance amount (the “Advisory Fee Severance”) equal to (i) the amount of Advisory Fee that the Executive would

Page 4

have received had he continued as Special Advisor through November 30, 2026, minus(ii) the amount of Advisory Fee that the Executive received while holding the position of Special Advisor prior to such termination. The Advisory Fee Severance shall be paid on the first regularly-scheduled payroll date (not to exceed thirty (30) days) following the date on which the Second Release becomes effective and no longer subject to revocation.

(i)Executive Physical Program.The Executive and the Executive’s wife will remain eligible for the Company-paid Executive Physical Program through the end of calendar year 2027. Provision of this benefit will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the program as may be in effect for participating current Company executives from time to time.

(ii)AYCO Support. The Executive will remain eligible for the Company-paid AYCO support for financial benefits planning through the end of calendar year 2027.

Provision of this benefit will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the program as may be in effect for participating current Company executives from time to time.

For the avoidance of doubt, the payments and benefits described in this Section 7 do not include any amounts payable under the DCP, which shall be governed exclusively by the DCP and the Executive’s valid elections thereunder, and shall in no manner be impacted by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Executive resigns without Good Reason, in each case prior to November 30, 2026, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts but shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits under Section 7 of this Agreement or under the Plan.

The Company agrees that it will not at any time make any official press releases or formal pronouncements, and the Company agrees to direct its executive officers and members of the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof to not at any time, directly or indirectly, make or publish any statements or comments (whether or not true), either verbally or in writing, that could reasonably be expected to injure the reputation or goodwill of the Executive or otherwise place the Executive in a negative light.

Page 9

non-competitive entities, subject to Executive’s adherence to his continued obligations to the Company as set forth herein.

16.Remedies.The Executive acknowledges and agrees that a material breach by the Executive of Section 10, Section 12or Section 13, or any other restrictive covenant obligation to which the Executive is subject, may result in irreparable harm to the Company for which monetary damages alone may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable relief, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity. In addition, if the Company believes the Executive breaches this Agreement or any enforceable restrictive covenant obligation owed to the Company or any of its affiliates, the Company shall provide the Executive with a period of not less than thirty (30) days to cure such breach (if curable) and if not cured the Company’s obligation to provide any unpaid payments or benefits under Section 7shall immediately cease, subject to applicable law.

18.Non-Admission of Liability.This Agreement does not constitute and shall not be construed as an admission by the Executive, Company or any other Released Party of any liability, wrongdoing or violation of law. The Executive, Company and each other Released Party expressly deny any such liability, wrongdoing or violation.

19.Section 409A.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended either to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), or to comply with Section 409A and avoid any tax consequences thereunder, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to the maximum extent possible in a manner consistent with such intent. The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to further amend or modify this Agreement and the payments provided for herein to comply with regulations or other guidance promulgated by the Department of the Treasury under Code Section 409A and avoid tax consequences thereunder. Each installment payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent required by Section 409A, any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement by reason of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be made only if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of the Executive’s separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, any payment of compensation or benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement or any other arrangement that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A payable as a result of the Executive’s separation from service shall be delayed to the extent required in order to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A until the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s separation from service with the Company or (b) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable period, all payments deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries), and any

remaining payments due to the Executive under this Agreement or any arrangement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or therein.

20.Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.

a.Except for any claim for injunctive relief arising out of a breach of a Party’s obligations to protect the other Party’s proprietary or Confidential Information, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties agree to arbitrate any and all disputes or claims arising out of or related to the validity, enforceability, interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, whether sounding in tort, contract, statutory violation or otherwise, or involving the construction or application of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Any arbitration may be initiated by written demand to the other Party and shall be submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services in San Francisco, California, for binding resolution under its applicable rules.

b.The Company and the Executive waive any right to bring a claim on behalf of persons other than themselves or to otherwise participate with other persons in any class, collective or representative action (the “Class Action Waiver”). The arbitrator shall not have authority to consolidate claims or consider individual claims collectively on any grounds. To the extent a court holds in a final judgment that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any particular claim or claims, the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other claims, and the claim or claims to be litigated in court shall be stayed pending completion of the arbitration on the arbitrable claims. This Class Action Waiver shall not apply to California Private Attorneys General Act claims brought against the Company to the extent a class action waiver is not legally enforceable as to such claims.

c.The arbitrator shall hear and determine the controversy or dispute applying the substantive law specified in Section 22. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Parties further agree that this Agreement is intended to be strictly construed to provide for arbitration as the sole and exclusive means for resolution of all disputes hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Parties expressly waive any entitlement to have such controversies decided by a court or a jury.

21.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

22.Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Executive’s employment by the Company shall be governed by and construed in accordance with federal law and, where applicable, the laws of California, without reference to any conflicts of laws principles that would require the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

23.Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Each of the Parties shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution, and enforcement of this Agreement, and neither of the Parties shall be entitled to recover such fees or costs from the other provided, however, that the Company will pay for the Executive’s legal fees incurred in the

H. Singh

Page 11

negotiation and execution of this Agreement up to a maximum amount of approximately $60,000.

24.Captions.Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience, and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any section or paragraph.

25.Counterparts.The Parties may execute this Agreement by electronic signatures, including by DocuSign, and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

26.Entire Agreement. Unless specifically provided, incorporated, modified or referenced herein, this Agreement contains all the understandings and representations between the Company and the Executive relating to the Executive’s transition, separation from employment and severance and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, discussions, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter, including the Offer Letter, except as expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term in this Agreement or otherwise, Executive shall remain entitled to the Indemnification Rights. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other Party shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time, nor shall the failure of or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver thereof to preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

27.Acknowledgment of Full Understanding. THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE EXECUTIVE HAS FULLY READ, UNDERSTANDS, AND VOLUNTARILY ENTERS INTO THIS AGREEMENT. THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE EXECUTIVE HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF THE EXECUTIVE’S CHOICE BEFORE SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT. THE EXECUTIVE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXECUTIVE’S SIGNATURE BELOW IS AN AGREEMENT TO RELEASE THE COMPANY FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT CAN BE RELEASED AS A MATTER OF LAW.
