RESOURCES CONNECTION, INC.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of August 29, 2026. Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 29, 2026 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting associated with ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) that support our financial reporting processes as of May 30, 2026. This material weakness continued to exist as of August 29, 2026. Management determined that we did not design and maintain effective controls to adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs and data to authorized personnel. Management also determined that program change management controls were not designed and operating effectively to ensure that information technology (“IT”) program and configuration changes affecting IT applications and underlying accounting records were appropriately identified, tested, authorized and implemented. As a result, the related IT dependent manual and application controls that relied on the affected ITGCs, or on information generated by IT systems with affected ITGCs could have been adversely impacted, and were also deemed to be ineffective.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management does not believe that the deficiencies had an adverse effect on our reported operating results or financial condition, and management has determined that the financial statements and other information included in this report and other periodic filings present fairly in all material respects our financial condition and results of operations at and for the period presented.

Management's Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

Our remediation efforts are ongoing and we will continue our initiatives to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. We are committed to making the necessary changes and improvements to our system of controls to address the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above.

We are in the process of designing and implementing improved processes and controls. Specifically, we have undertaken remedial actions involving but not limited to the following:

•Enhancing the design of our user access controls, including limiting privileged access to only appropriate personnel, defined and maintained access profiles commensurate with job responsibilities, and increased the frequency of user access review controls.

•Improving audit logging across our financial applications and IT systems to enhance the completeness and traceability of user access changes and system and program changes.

•Establishing guidance and standardized procedures for the performance of user access and change management reviews and have performed ongoing training with control operators to improve documentation to support effective control activities, including evidence over the completeness and accuracy of reports used by the Company when conducting such reviews

•Enhancing our segregation of duties review process.

While we believe that upon completion, we will have strengthened our ITGCs to address and successfully remediate the identified material weakness, a control weakness is not considered remediated until new internal controls have been operational for a period of time, are tested, and management concludes that these controls are operating effectively. The newly implemented controls have not been in place and operating for a sufficient period to evaluate if the material weakness has been remediated. Therefore, these material weaknesses have not been remediated as of August 29,

2026. We expect to complete the remediation activities as early as practicable in the fiscal year 2027. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation measures, and we will make any changes to the design of this plan and take such other actions that we deem appropriate given the circumstances.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the changes associated with the material weakness and remediation actions noted above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended August 29, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
