\n \u2013 Koempel to Remain Chief Financial Officer \u2013<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA., Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGC), is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has appointed Michael W. Koempel to the role of President of the Company, effective immediately. Koempel will retain his role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a position he has held since joining the Company in May 2022, and will continue to report to Chief Executive Officer, Michael Benstock. The Company\u2019s three segment presidents will now report to Koempel in his capacity as President.<\/p>\n

Koempel has more than 33 years of financial, operational, governance and strategic leadership experience, with a proven track record of building and scaling high growth apparel and retail brands, including at Superior Group of Companies. Prior to joining the Company, Koempel served as the chief operating officer of IT\u2019SUGAR\u00ae, one of the largest specialty candy retailers in the U.S., chief operating officer of Victoria\u2019s Secret Lingerie, a multi-billion dollar e-commerce and store-based retailer specializing in lingerie and apparel, and chief financial officer of Mast Global, the supply chain division of L Brands Inc. (now named Bath & Body Works\u00ae), among other leadership roles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMike\u2019s leadership over the past three years has been instrumental to SGC navigating some of the most challenging periods in our 105-year history,\u201d said Michael Benstock, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of SGC. \u201cHe has not only strengthened our financial foundation but also played a key role in advancing operational excellence across segments. His promotion to President reflects his outstanding contributions and reinforces the Company\u2019s focused trajectory and investment in long-term success. I\u2019m excited for what lies ahead with Mike in his new role and look forward to working alongside him in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs segment leaders, we have seen firsthand the operational insights and strategic focus Mike brings,\u201d said Jake Himelstein, President of the Company\u2019s Branded Products segment. \u201cWe look forward to building on that momentum as Mike assumes his new role and continues to drive strategic top-line growth and profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to Michael and the Board of Directors for their trust, and to our segment presidents for their close partnership,\u201d said Koempel. \u201cEach of our business segments has significant potential, and I\u2019m committed to helping unlock that value as we drive toward expanded growth, enhanced operational excellence, and the creation of further shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n
