Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc.'S Board Not Approves the Resignation of Scott I. Ross from the Board of Directors At the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 18, 2026. Scott I. Ross did not receive a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. In compliance with the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), on June 24, 2026, Mr. Ross offered his resignation to the Board, conditioned upon Board acceptance. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) considered Mr. Ross’s offer of resignation. The Committee believes that Mr. Ross’s knowledge of the Company, his active engagement with management throughout the year (not limited to Board meeting participation), his prior experience on the Board, his alignment with the Company’s success and his extensive experience on the boards of directors of other public and private companies provide the Board and its committees with robust industry-specific knowledge and key leadership experience. The Committee also reviewed the underlying reason for Mr. Ross not receiving a greater number of votes “for” than votes “against” for his re-election, namely a recommendation from proxy advisory firms to vote against Mr. Ross’s election based primarily on Mr. Ross’s attendance at meetings of the Board and its committees. In response to this feedback, Mr. Ross committed to attending at least 75% of all Board meetings. Accordingly, and after due deliberation, the Committee determined that Mr. Ross’s continued service on the Board is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommended that the Board not accept Mr. Ross’s offer of resignation. After discussion, the Board agreed with the Committee’s recommendation, determined not to accept Mr. Ross’s offer of resignation and reaffirmed his appointment to the Board. Mr. Ross did not participate in the Committee’s recommendation or the Board’s decision with respect to his offer of resignation. Reported Earnings • Jun 16

Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. Launches 10 All-New Games and Summer Season Pass Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. released its first-ever 'State of Fun Report' and launched 10 all-new games plus the return of its Summer Season Pass, making it easier than ever to get out, play, and reconnect. Dave & Buster's 'State of Fun Report' revealed the following insights about Americans' thoughts on fun: Nearly half of Americans (48%) say their lives are currently lacking fun, despite widespread recognition of the positive role it plays in overall well-being. 89% believe that having fun with others leads to healthier, stronger relationships. 71% say it helps reduce stress. 57% say it increases motivation. 56% say it helps them feel closer to the people they love.

More than half (55%) say they would be more motivated to prioritize fun if low-cost options were available.

Dave & Buster's is building on that legacy with the launch of 10 new games designed to make it easier than ever to show up, play, and create meaningful moments together. The new lineup offers something for everyone, spanning high-energy competition, immersive gameplay, and hands-on skill challenges, including Hot Wheels Ultimate Speedway, a fast-paced puck battle where quick reflexes lead to big ticket wins; ICEE Slush Rush, a two-player timed game that rewards the perfect pour; and John Wick: Continental Pursuit, a cinematic, adrenaline-fueled driving experience that puts players in the middle of a high-stakes chase.

Soccer fans can step onto the field with World Soccer for head-to-head gameplay or try their luck at Kick N Win for a chance to score exclusive prizes, while the Human Crane offers an interactive experience that reimagines the classic claw game by putting players inside the action for a chance to grab prizes mid-air. Guests can also expect to see a few additional surprise games in the new lineup mixed in with 130+ games that underscore Dave & Buster's ongoing commitment to invest in fresh, innovative entertainment experiences and ensuring there's always something new for guests to discover with every visit.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €494k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.2x net interest cover).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.2x net interest cover). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.8% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.5% net profit margin).

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 9.0% a week.

It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.9x net interest cover). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (9.0% average weekly change). Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.6% net profit margin).
