Gender Affirmation

American Eagle Outfitters is pleased to offer gender affirmation coverage. Everyone
experiences gender in their own unique way, for some this may mean being born
a male but identifying as a female — or vice versa. Manulife’s extended coverage will
help people transitioning embody their authentic selves. This offering will help
supplement provincial or territorial coverage across the country, covering feminization
or masculinization surgeries not typically covered under medicare programs.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows you to purchase AEO stock
through payroll deductions with post-tax dollars. This is a way for you to share in the
potential future growth and profitability of the company and is an affordable way
to begin investing!

If you are at least 18 years of age, you are eligible to enrol after your 60th day of
continuous service. To enrol in the ESPP, log onto www.netbenefits.com or contact OPTIONAL BENEFITS
Fidelity at 1.800.544.0275 by the 20th of the month to be effective for the following
month’s enrolment. Changes in deductions can also be made at this time each month.

You can contribute any dollar amount up to $100 per pay period (or more
without the AEO match), and AEO will match 15% of your contribution. You are
immediately vested and own all your stock from day one! Please note that you are
responsible for paying the fees related to the sale of your stock. Be sure to keep all
quarterly statements for your records.

Parental Leave Top-Up

Parental Leave Top-Up is meant to be complimentary Employment Insurance (EI)
Parental benefits. All Associates are encouraged to apply for Parental benefits
through EI. RPT and FT Associates must have a minimum of one year of continuous active
RPT/FT service and be eligible under the provisions of their provincial labour codes to
receive AEO’s Parental Leave Top-Up benefit. If an Associate leaves AEO within one
year of returning from Parental Leave, the Associate will be required to reimburse
AEO for 100% of the monies received as Parental Leave Top-Up.

During the first week of Parental Leave, employees will not receive anything
from Employment Insurance (EI). If elected, AEO’s Parental Leave Top-Up benefit
will pay 100% of the Associate’s weekly gross regular earnings for this first week.
During the next 12 weeks (weeks 2-13) of the Parental Leave, EI will pay the employee
55% of their gross weekly earnings. AEO’s Top-Up benefit will provide an extra 5% of
the employee’s gross weekly earnings during these weeks. For example, Sarah’s
annual salary is $35 000, so her gross weekly earnings are $673.08. During the
first week of her Parental Leave, she will receive $673.08 for week 1 from AEO (and
nothing from EI). During weeks 2-13, EI will pay Sarah $370.19 gross weekly, and
AEO’s Top-Up benefit will pay her $33.66 gross weekly.
