Item 8.01.         Other Events.
 
On or about April 1, 2022, Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) mailed a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) to its shareholders relating to the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 13, 2022 (the “Annual Meeting”), including a proposal to approve the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive and Awards Plan (the “2022 Plan”). As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, if its shareholders approve the 2022 Plan at the Annual Meeting, it will become effective upon such approval, will replace the Company’s 2013 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2013 Plan”), and no new awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan after such date (then-outstanding awards will continue to be outstanding).
 
After furnishing the Proxy Statement to its shareholders, the Company was informed by Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) that the proposal to approve the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive and Awards Plan received an unfavorable voting recommendation, in part because ISS included shares available under the 2013 Plan in its proprietary shareholder value transfer (“SVT”) analysis.
 
In response to the ISS recommendation, the Company is providing this disclosure to supplement its disclosure in the Proxy Statement.
 
The total number of shares that, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, remain available for future awards under the 2013 Plan, and that will no longer be available upon effectiveness of the 2022 Plan, are 1,928,220. The 2013 Plan does not contain a fungible counting provision because it does not count shares based on the type of award granted.
