On March 19, 2026, Ian M. Bickley notified the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. of his resignation from the Board, effective March 31, 2026. Mr. Bickley has indicated that his decision to resign is due to recent changes in his other professional commitments and is not a result of any disagreement with the Company or its management. The Board plans to reduce its size to six directors and appoint Beth Kaplan, a current member of the Board, to serve on the Audit Committee effective the same date. This leadership change may impact the governance structure of the Company, but it is not expected to have a significant negative effect on its operations or strategic direction. The Company has expressed confidence in its ongoing transformation and growth, despite the departure of Mr. Bickley, who has been a part of the Board since its initial public offering. The Board's decision to appoint a current member to the Audit Committee indicates a commitment to maintaining strong governance controls during this transition period.
