Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) On July 17, 2025, Michael D. Magill was elected as a director of Ennis, Inc. (the "Company") to replace the seat of Michael J. Schaefer. For reasons announced on May 6, 2025, the Company’s nominating and governance committee determined that it would not recommend Michael Schaefer for re-election upon the expiration of his term in July. Given the timing of that decision, the Board was unable to screen and approve a third director candidate prior to the preparation and publication of its Proxy Statement. Accordingly, the Board appointed Mr. Magill as director to temporarily fill the third seat after the expiration of Mr. Schaefer’s term in July. Next year, the Board anticipates four director candidates will be presented for a vote: one to complete the last two years of the term for the seat filled by the temporary appointee and the other three candidates for the seats with terms expiring in 2026.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(a) The Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 17, 2025. There were 25,795,161 eligible votes, with 22,628,463 votes being cast, or 87.7%.

(b) Proxies for the meeting were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A; there was no solicitation in opposition to management’s nominees for directors listed in the Proxy Statement and all such nominees were elected.
