Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 21, 2026, in order to achieve an equal balance of membership among the classes of directors, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Solo Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) determined to move Peter Laurinaitis from Class III, with a term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, to Class II, with a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. On March 19, 2026, Mr. Laurinaitis, who served as a Class III director, tendered his resignation as a director, effective upon his election by the Board as a Class II director. The resignation and immediate re-election of Mr. Laurinaitis was effected solely to rebalance the Board’s classes and, for all other purposes, Mr. Laurinaitis’s service on the Board, including his service on the Audit Committee, is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. The Board now consists of three Class I directors, two Class II directors, and two Class III directors.
