Dear Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2026 Ross Stores, Inc. Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. PDT. This year’s Annual Meeting will be held virtually. We designed the format of our online Annual Meeting in an effort to provide stockholders who attend the Annual Meeting with equivalent opportunities to participate as they would have at an in-person meeting. You can attend the live webcast of the Annual Meeting by visitingwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROST2026, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, vote your shares, and submit questions online.
We are pleased to make use again this year of the process that permits companies to furnish proxy materials over the Internet, as authorized by Securities and Exchange Commission rules. We believe this approach facilitates stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, while reducing both the cost and the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. We will mail to our stockholders (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery of future proxy materials) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote, and includes instructions on how you can request and receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail. If you receive your Annual Meeting materials by mail, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Annual Report to Stockholders, and proxy card will be enclosed.
Thank you for your commitment to Ross Stores and for your cooperation in voting your shares by proxy without delay. You may vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting by Internet, toll-free telephone number, or mail. Instructions regarding all three methods of voting, and for participation in the virtual meeting, are included in this Proxy Statement on the pages following the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Sincerely,
James G. Conroy
Chief Executive Officer and Board Member
