Contrary to the managements slate, none of the Legion nominees have the right mix of skills and
experience in public companies, retail, footwear and e-commerce. As such, election of the Legion slate could disrupt the progress Genesco is currently into.

As noted above, todays recommendation from Egan-Jones follows a recent report from leading proxy advisor ISS, which recommended that Genesco
shareholders vote FOR ALL nine of the Companys director nominees.
Genesco Urges
Shareholders to Vote FOR its Slate of Highly Qualified
and Experienced Director Nominees
Genesco continues to urge shareholders to protect the value of their investment by voting the BLUE proxy card today FOR ALL
nine of the Companys highly qualified directors at the Companys Annual Meeting scheduled to be held on July 20, 2021.
PLEASE VOTE TODAY!
To
make sure your vote is processed timely, we are encouraging all
shareholders to vote online or by telephone if possible
just follow the easy instructions on the enclosed BLUE proxy card.
You may also sign, date and return the enclosed BLUE proxy card.
If you have any questions or need help voting your BLUE proxy card,
please call the firm assisting us with the solicitation of proxies:
