INCORPORATION OF INFORMATION WE FILE WITH THE SEC
This prospectus “incorporates by reference” certain documents that we file with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information that we incorporate by reference is an important part of this prospectus. Some information contained in this prospectus updates the information incorporated by reference, and information that we file subsequently with the SEC will automatically update this prospectus. In other words, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency between information set forth in this prospectus and information that we file later and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in the document that was filed later.
We incorporate by reference into this prospectus the following documents filed by us with the SEC (other than portions of documents deemed to have been furnished rather than filed in accordance with SEC rules unless otherwise specified by us):
•
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2024 (filed on March 13, 2024);
•
the portions of our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (filed on April 1, 2024) that are specifically incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2024;
