Myer Group is committed to supporting the rights and wellbeing of workers throughout our operations, supply chain and promoting awareness of modern slavery risks. This statement has been prepared, with engagement of the relevant leadership members, to meet the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (referred to as 'the Act' throughout this document) and reflects the continued modern slavery due diligence efforts conducted at a group level. All brands of Myer Holdings Limited operate under a common and consistent governance framework with the same executive management team. The approach to identifying, assessing and addressing modern slavery risks is largely the same across the Myer Group. However, during part of the reporting period following the Just Group acquisition, the Just Group brands operated under its own ethical sourcing policies, procedures and framework. A phased transition to adopt and align policies and procedures taking the collective experience to create a single set of shared policies and processes for the Myer Group is underway. This statement has been reviewed and approved by the Myer Holdings Limited Board. 778 Total stores and owned online channels 15,000+ Australian based team members 834 Overseas based team members 303 Private Brand suppliers (with purchases) 45,105 Shareholders (as at 24 September 2025) Myer Retail Myer Apparel Brands Message from the Executive Chair Myer Group is committed to ensuring that our business practices positively drive change in improving the working conditions and upholding the rights of workers in our supply chain and operations. We have a responsibility to continually improve and take accountability in identifying, assessing and addressing modern slavery risks across all parts of our business and supply chain.

Our position that any form of modern slavery or similar practices are unacceptable in our business and our supply chain. This is our sixth Modern Slavery Statement, and our first statement as the Myer Group following the acquisition of Just Group in January 2025. This statement reports on the progress that has been made during the year in enhancing our Ethical Sourcing program and strengthening the management and mitigation of human rights and modern slavery risks across our supply chain. The creation of the Myer Group allows us to build on an already strong foundation to ensure we can provide a greater impact now we are a larger business. The combination of our different experiences and perspectives bring invaluable insights and fresh viewpoints, underpinned by a shared belief in building trust and transparency with all those who contribute to our products - from raw materials to retail. We know the impact of Myer Group extends beyond what we sell. That is why we continue to be focused on strengthening due diligence processes, building stronger supplier relationships, and ensuring our policies and practices support dignity and fairness at every level of the supply chain. We also recognise that our fight against modern slavery starts with awareness. To that end, we continue to provide regular training to our teams to build capability and ensure risks of modern slavery are known. We also actively promote and educate the importance of ethical standards and respecting human rights through ongoing engagement with our suppliers and factories. Our progress is ongoing, but we are encouraged by the steps we have taken, from improving traceability and transparency, to working more closely with partners who share our values. We understand the responsibility that comes with our role in the industry, and we are committed to driving meaningful and lasting change to ensure that there are no hidden human costs and harm. To our team members, suppliers, partners, and customers - thank you for supporting this journey. Together, we will continue to build a business that not only delivers quality and value but does so with integrity, respect and care.
