Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting Date and Related Deadlines

As of the date of this Annual Report, we intend to hold our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) on or about July 28, 2026. This date is more than 30 days after the one-year anniversary of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), which was held on May 20, 2025. The time and location of the 2026 Annual Meeting, and the matters to be considered, will be as set forth in our definitive proxy statement to be filed on Schedule 14A with the SEC for the 2026 Annual Meeting. The record date for the 2026 Annual Meeting has been set as June 11, 2026.

Because the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary date of the 2025 Annual Meeting, the deadlines for stockholders to submit proposals and nominations of directors for the 2026 Annual Meeting as set forth in the Corporation’s definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting are no longer effective.

Rule 14a-8 Proposals Deadline. Stockholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act must be received by our Chief Legal Officer at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on May 26, 2026 (which we believe is a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials).

Universal Proxy Deadline. If a stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees submitted under these advance notice provisions, then we must receive proper written notice that sets forth all information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, delivered to our Chief Legal Officer at our principal executive offices no later than May 26, 2026. The notice requirement under Rule 14a-19 is in addition to the applicable advance notice requirements under our Bylaws as described above.

All proposals or director nominations described above should be sent to our principal executive offices at Driven Brands Holdings Inc., Attn: Chief Legal Officer, 440 S. Church Street, Suite 700 Charlotte, NC 28202.
