Birks Group Inc. reports that its long-serving Chief Financial Officer, Katia Fontana, will retire effective April 1, 2026, after about six years in senior leadership.

The overall sales growth was driven in part by the acquisition of the European Boutique luxury timepiece and jewelry stores, as well as higher sales of branded timepieces and Birks branded jewelry in both retail stores and online. Management highlighted the contribution of teams across the business and emphasized a focus on maintaining momentum and delivering strong customer service.
Birks Group Inc. filed a Form 6-K disclosing shareholder voting tallies and a communication from its auditor, KPMG LLP. The filing furnishes and incorporates a KPMG letter (Exhibit 16.1) dated September 24, 2025.

Voting results included large majorities of Votes For (e.g., 83,371,520; 83,373,520) with non-votes of 966,150. The filing does not state remediation steps or timelines.
