PROXY STATEMENT

Dated April 8, 2020

This Supplement to the Proxy Statement of Duluth Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), filed on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders originally scheduled to be held on May 21, 2020 and now to be reconvened on July 13, 2020, is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock as of the record date disclosed on pages 1 and 22 of the Proxy Statement and correcting certain information under the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners” table on page 22 of the Proxy Statement.

Specifically, the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock as of the record date was overstated by 87,898 shares of Class B common stock due to a clerical error, and updates were made to the beneficial ownership numbers for Messrs. Loretta and Dittrich, as well as “All Executive Officers and Directors as a Group.” As a result, the Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented to correct the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock as of the record date from 29,447,466 to 29,359,568 on pages 1 and 22 of the Proxy Statement. In addition, the Proxy Statement is further supplemented to replace the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners” table on page 22 of the Proxy Statement with the following table:

The address of the trust is c/o Godfrey & Kahn, S.C., 833 E. Michigan Street, Suite 1800, Milwaukee, WI 53202.
