The 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Virco Mfg. Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time for the following purposes:

Please note that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held at our corporate headquarters located at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, CA 90501.
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 22, 2025 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments and postponements thereof. To ensure that your vote is recorded promptly, please vote as soon as possible.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is being delivered to stockholders of Virco Mfg. Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), on or about May 6, 2025, in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of proxies to be used at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company to be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and at any and all adjournments and postponements thereof.
Please note that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held at our corporate headquarters located at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, CA 90501.
The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the Notice of the Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and form of proxy and the solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, e-mail or other electronic means by personnel of the Company who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation. The Company will reimburse brokers or other persons holding stock in their names or the names of their nominees for the expenses of forwarding soliciting material to their principals.
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials electronically over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders. Stockholders have the ability to access our proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (www.edocumentview.com/VIRC) or request to receive a printed set of our proxy materials. Instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet or request a printed copy of our proxy materials may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
RECORD DATE AND VOTING
The close of business on April 22, 2025 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date there were 16,087,082 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“common stock”), outstanding. All voting rights are vested exclusively in the holders of the Company’s common stock.
Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the record date, your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a stockholder of record and you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote to ensure that your vote is counted.
Beneficial Holders: Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. If, on the record date, your shares were held in an account at a broker, bank, or other financial institution (collectively referred to as “broker”), then you are the beneficial holder of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that broker. The broker holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote the shares in your account. As a beneficial holder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not a stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker giving you the legal right to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.
Our bylaws require that a quorum – that is, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting – be present, in person or by proxy, before any business may be

Table of Contents
transacted at the Annual Meeting (other than adjourning the Annual Meeting to a later date to allow time to obtain additional proxies to satisfy the quorum requirement).
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on any matter that may be presented for consideration and action by the stockholders, except that as to the election of directors, stockholders may cumulate their votes. Because two directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting, cumulative voting means that each stockholder may cast a number of votes equal to two times the number of shares actually owned. That number of votes may be cast for one nominee, divided equally among each of the nominees or divided among the nominees in any other manner. Stockholders wishing to cumulate their votes should make an explicit statement of their intent by so indicating in writing on the proxy card or when voting by telephone or Internet. Stockholders holding shares beneficially in street name who wish to cumulate votes should contact their broker, trustee or nominee.
Below is a summary of the vote required for adoption of each proposal and the respective effect of abstentions and broker non-votes. For more detailed information see the discussion of the respective proposal below.

Proposal |  | Vote Required for Approval of Proposal |  | Effect of Abstentions |  | Effect of Broker Non-Votes
1. Election of directors |  | Plurality of shares voted |  | No effect |  | No effect (1)
2. Ratification of Moss Adams LLP |  | Majority of shares voted |  | No effect |  | Brokers have discretion to vote

(1) While “Withhold” votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote, we have adopted a Director Resignation Policy pursuant to which nominees for election as director at the Annual Meeting are required to submit an offer of resignation for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee if such nominee receives a greater number of “Withhold” votes than votes “For” such election. See “Director Resignation Policy” below.
Proxies marked as abstentions or withheld votes will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. If a broker indicates on its proxy that it does not have discretionary voting authority to vote shares on one or more proposals at the Annual Meeting (a “broker non-vote”), such shares will still be counted in determining whether a quorum is present. Brokers or other nominees who hold shares in “street name” for the beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from the beneficial owner. However, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the election of directors or other “non-routine” proposals without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. Of the matters on the agenda for the Annual Meeting, only the ratification of the selection of our auditors is considered to be a “routine” proposal for the purposes of brokers exercising their voting discretion.
If no direction is made on your proxy and it is otherwise properly executed, your proxy will be voted FOR the election of all director nominees, and FOR ratification of Moss Adams LLP. Where a stockholder has appropriately directed how the proxy is to be voted, it will be voted according to the stockholder’s direction.
Any stockholder of record has the power to revoke its proxy at any time before it is voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting by submitting written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices located at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California 90501, by participating and attending the 2025 Annual Meeting or by filing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail. Please consult the instructions included with your proxy card for how to vote your shares.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Meetings and Independence
Each incumbent director of the Company serving during our latest fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 (referred to as “fiscal 2025”) attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which he or she served. The Board of Directors held seven meetings in fiscal 2025. In addition, the independent directors hold regularly scheduled executive session meetings each fiscal year outside of the presence of management, as well as additional meetings as are necessary. Directors are expected to attend our annual meetings of stockholders when practical to do so, although we have no formal policy with respect to such attendance. All of the directors then in office attended our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors, who constitute a majority of the Board of Directors, are “independent directors” as defined by the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards: Craig L. Levra, Robert R. Lind, Bradley Richardson and Agnieszka Winkler.
Leadership Structure
Currently, Mr. Robert Virtue serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company. Because the Board also believes that strong, independent Board leadership is a critical component of effective corporate governance, the Board has established the position of lead independent director. The lead independent director position rotates among the independent directors periodically. Currently, Robert R. Lind serves as the lead independent director of the Board. The lead independent director’s responsibilities and authority include providing input to the Chairman and CEO on preparation of agendas for Board and committee meetings and communicating to the Chairman and CEO the substance of the discussions and consensus reached at the meetings of independent directors. In addition, the Company has strong governance structures and processes in place to review and confirm the independence of the Board, eliminate conflicts of interest, and prevent dominance of the Board by management. For example, all directors, with the exception of Robert Virtue, Douglas Virtue and Kathy Virtue Young, are independent as defined by the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the three standing committees of the Board discussed below are made up entirely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee which is composed of Messrs. Richardson (Chair), Levra and Lind, and Ms. Winkler. The Audit Committee held five meetings during fiscal 2025. The Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. Among other things, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the following: the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm; reviewing the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence; reviewing the plans and results of the audit engagement with the independent registered public accounting firm; reviewing the financial statements of the Company; reviewing the scope of the annual audit by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; reviewing the audit reports rendered by such independent registered public accounting firm; approving professional services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and approving financial reporting principles and policies; considering the range of audit and non-audit fees; reviewing the adequacy of the Company’s internal accounting controls; and working to ensure the integrity of financial information supplied to stockholders. The Audit Committee also has the other responsibilities enumerated in its charter. The Audit Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage. Each of the Audit Committee members is an “independent director” as that term is defined for audit committee members by the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Richardson and Lind qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Board reevaluates the composition of the Audit Committee on at least an annual basis to ensure that its composition remains in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Compensation Committee
The Board of Directors has a standing Compensation Committee which is composed of Ms. Winkler (Chair), and Messrs. Levra, Lind and Richardson. The Compensation Committee held two meetings in fiscal 2025. The function of the Compensation Committee is, among other things, to: set the Company’s compensation policy and administer the Company’s compensation plans; make decisions on the compensation of key Company executives (including the review and approval of merit/other compensation budgets and payouts under the Company’s incentive plans); review and approve compensation and employment agreements of the Company’s executive officers; and recommend pay levels for members of the Board of Directors for consideration and approval by the full Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee oversees the design and implementation of the incentives and risks

Table of Contents
associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee may consult with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management as it deems necessary and engage the assistance of outside consultants to assist in determining and establishing the Company’s compensation policies. The Compensation Committee acts pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
The Board of Directors has a standing Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee which is composed of Messrs. Levra (Chair), Lind and Richardson, and Ms. Winkler. All members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are “independent directors” as defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. During fiscal 2025, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held three meetings. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee acts pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommended to the Board of Directors each nominee the Board selected.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s functions are to identify and recommend to the Board of Directors from time to time candidates for nomination for election as directors of the Company at the Annual Meeting, recommend the composition of the Board of Directors and its committees, monitor a process to assess Board effectiveness and develop and implement Company corporate governance guidelines. Candidates may come to the attention of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee through members of the Board of Directors, stockholders or other persons. Consideration of new Board nominee candidates typically involves a series of internal discussions, review of information concerning candidates and interviews with selected candidates. Candidates may be evaluated at regular or special meetings and may be considered at any point during the year, depending on the Company’s needs. In evaluating nominations, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers a variety of criteria, including business experience and skills, independence, judgment, integrity, the ability to commit sufficient time and attention to Board of Directors activities and the absence of potential conflicts with the Company’s interests. Such criteria are published in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines available on the Company’s website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage. To recommend a prospective nominee for the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s consideration, stockholders should submit a candidate’s name and qualifications to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California 90501, Attention: Bassey Yau, Secretary.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Any stockholder interested in communicating with individual members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors as a whole, any of the committees of the Board or the independent directors as a group may send written communications to the Board of Directors, any committee of the Board of Directors or any director or directors of the Company at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California 90501, Attention: Bassey Yau, Secretary. Communications received in writing are forwarded to the Board of Directors, or the committee or individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed, unless, at his discretion, the Secretary determines that the communication is of a commercial or frivolous nature, is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its business, or is otherwise inappropriate for the Board of Directors’ consideration. In such cases, such correspondence may be forwarded elsewhere in the Company for review and possible response. The Secretary has the authority to discard or disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees (the “Code”). The Code applies to all Company directors, employees and officers, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers, including the principal financial and accounting officers. The Code is available on the Company’s website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage. The Company intends to post any amendments to or waivers under the Code that apply to its Chief Executive Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer on its website. Upon written request, the Company will provide a copy of the Code free of charge. Requests should be directed to Virco Mfg. Corporation, 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California 90501, Attention: Bassey Yau, Secretary.
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors believes that open communication between management and the Board is essential for effective risk management and oversight. The Board of Directors meets with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior
4

Table of Contents
management at Board meetings where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks in the context of reports from the management team and evaluate the risks inherent in significant transactions. While our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our Board committees assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk.

Director Resignation Policy
We have adopted a Director Resignation Policy pursuant to which any nominee for election as director is required to submit an offer of resignation for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee if such nominee for director (in an uncontested election) receives a greater number of “Withhold” votes from his or her election than votes “For” such election. In such case, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will then consider the relevant facts and circumstances and recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to such offer of resignation. The Board will then act on the Committee’s recommendation. Promptly following the Board’s decision, we would disclose that decision and an explanation of such decision in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. A copy of the Director Resignation Policy is included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is available on our website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage.

PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board selected Moss Adams LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, and recommends that the stockholders vote for ratification of that appointment. The Company was notified that Moss Adams LLP has entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement under which Moss Adams LLP and its subsidiaries will undergo a restructuring to effectuate a merger with Baker Tilly US, LLP, Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates (the “BT Transaction”). It is anticipated that the BT Transaction will close in early June 2025. Following the closing, the combined audit practices will operate under Baker Tilly US, LLP. On that basis, the Audit Committee believes it will approve the continuation of the engagement if the BT Transaction closes, and continues to recommend the ratification of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.
If the merger of Moss Adams LLP and Baker Tilly US, LLP is completed prior to the date of the Annual Meeting, we do not intend to amend or supplement this Proxy Statement to reflect the change in the name or identity of our accounting firm, and we will consider an affirmative vote for this proposal as a vote for ratification of the successor accounting firm following the merger.
In addition, notwithstanding the Audit Committee’s selection of Moss Adams LLP or the outcome of this ratification vote, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, engage a different accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection. Although stockholder ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or applicable law, we are submitting the selection to our stockholders for ratification to permit stockholders to participate in this important corporate decision. If not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection, although the Audit Committee will not be required to select a different independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.
Representatives of Moss Adams LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Objectives and Structure of the Executive Compensation Program
The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to: 1) attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executives; 2) link total compensation to stockholder returns; 3) reflect individual contributions to the performance of the Company; 4) achieve appropriate balance between long-term value creation and short-term performance by including equity as part of total compensation; and 5) maintain internal fairness and morale.
In keeping with the entrepreneurial spirit of Virco founder Julian Virtue (1908-1991), Virco’s executive compensation package is designed to be simple, frugal, inclusive of all salaried employees and contain substantial components, which are tied directly to shareholder returns.
All salaried Virco employees, including Named Executive Officers and top-, mid-, and entry-level managers, are participants in the Company’s Entrepreneurial Salaried Bonus Plan (“ESBP”). There is no separate compensation plan exclusively for executives. The ESBP was used in establishing eligibility for bonuses during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.
The executive compensation program contains three basic elements:
1) Each salaried employee’s annual Base Salary;
2) An annual Bonus Incentive denoted as a percentage of the base salary, and;
3) For the top 26 Officers and Internal ‘Directors’ (collectively the Company’s top managers), an award of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) reflecting the respective manager’s duties and responsibilities. Although the Company has not made new awards of RSUs since 2019, prior awards have continued to vest through fiscal 2025.
Each year, the Company’s Board of Directors evaluates the Company's prior year’s performance and its prospects for the coming year for purposes of the ESBP. The Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of Independent Directors, then establishes a minimum operating income threshold for the ESBP. For fiscal 2025 the operating income threshold was $4,000,000. Until this operating income threshold is met, no participants in the ESBP are eligible for any bonus. The Compensation Committee then recommends the ESBP targets to the full Board for approval as a component of the Company’s Annual Operating and Bonus Plan.
Once the minimum operating income threshold is achieved, one-third of any additional earnings by the Company in excess of the minimum threshold are available for distribution to the Salaried Employees. In addition, bonus payouts to NEOs are capped at 50% of their base salary.
The Compensation Committee believes that the ESBP has several important entrepreneurial benefits:
1) It ensures that NEOs and managers will only receive a cash bonus if the Company is profitable.
2) It provides a simple ratio of distribution that rewards shareholders on a 2:1 ratio compared to management, once the threshold operating profit has been achieved;
3) It links all salaried managers into a single incentive plan, appropriate for a vertically-integrated business model in which all managers and all operating units must cooperate to achieve success.
As of January 31, 2025, the Company had 109 salaried employees participating in this plan. This included all salaried members of operations, distribution, administration and selected sales and marketing. The majority of salaried sales employees have a separate incentive plan tied directly to the sales volume generated in their own territory, and do not participate in the ESBP.
During fiscal 2025, Named Executive Officers received in the aggregate:
1) $1,026,040 in base salary;
2) $514,225 in ESBP cash payments; and
3) Vested in 12,000 RSUs.
12

Table of Contents
The ESBP reaches deep into the Company’s ranks. Its structure has the effect of rewarding salaried personnel as the Company’s performance improves, and is designed to engage all participants in the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship.
Because of the entrepreneurial nature of this compensation plan and the difficult business conditions at various times, no salaried employees received a bonus during the fiscal years 2010-2015, 2019, or 2021-2022. During recent years salaried employees generally received minimal raises or Cost-of-Living adjustments, other than for promotions, and several executives took voluntary salary decreases.
Management and the Board believe the simple, transparent compensation program of the ESBP rewards shareholders while also incentivizing the teamwork essential in a vertically-integrated manufacturing, sales and service business. The program structure has remained essentially unchanged since the early 1990s. Because employees and shareholders were “all in it together,” Management further believes the inclusive nature of this plan contributed to the Company’s high morale while navigating the challenges related to COVID-19 in recent years.
Granting of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
The Company has not made awards of stock options since 2019 and has no current plans to award stock options in the future. The Company makes annual awards of restricted stock to its non-employee directors, which typically occurs on the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, based on the closing trading price of the common stock on such date. The Company does not take into account material nonpublic information in determining the timing of restricted stock awards, and has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive or director compensation.
Summary Compensation Table
The table below sets forth the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to, each of the Named Executive Officers for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company has no written employment agreements with any of its executives. While employed, executives are entitled to base salary, participation in the executive compensation programs identified in the tables below and other benefits common to all employees.
The amounts shown in the following table are based on the same assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s fiscal 2025 financial statements, which are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 under the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included therein. The Pension Plans that the Named Executive Officers participate in were frozen in 2003 and the Named Executive Officers did not accrue any additional benefits under the Pension Plans during 2025 or 2024.

There were no outstanding equity awards at fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.
Retirement Benefits
The Company maintains two defined benefit pension plans in which the Named Executive Officers participate, the Virco Employees Retirement Plan (“Employee Plan”) and the Virco Important Performers Retirement Plan (“VIP Plan”). The Company and its subsidiaries cover all employees under the Employee Plan, which is a qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. Benefits under the Employee Plan are based on years of service and career average earnings. The Company also provides a supplementary retirement plan for certain key employees, the VIP Plan. The VIP Plan provides a benefit up to 50% of average compensation for the last five years in the VIP Plan, offset by benefits earned under the Employee Plan. Effective December 31, 2003, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under the plans. All NEOs are fully vested under both Plans.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
The Company does not have written employment agreements with any of the Named Executive Officers. Retirement, death, disability and change-in-control events do not trigger the payment of compensation to the Named Executive Officers that is not available to all salaried employees (including the amounts included in the “Retirement Benefits” discussion above). Named Executive Officers do not have a contractual right to receive severance benefits.
The Company’s 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan provides that awards under such Plan may be subject to acceleration upon a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Plan).
Executive Officers of the Registrant

For further information regarding our compensation philosophy and how we seek to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance, please see above in this “Executive Compensation” section.
The following table presents the pay versus performance information for our Named Executive Officers. The amounts set forth below have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors who are also employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for their services as directors. Non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $150,000 comprised of (i) $75,000 in cash, payable in monthly installments, and (ii) $75,000 in shares of restricted common stock with one-year vesting, granted on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders based on the closing trading price of the common stock on such date, although non-employee directors may elect to receive all or a portion of this amount in cash if they have achieved the Company’s minimum stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors. The directors are reimbursed for travel and related expenses incurred to attend meetings. The Company’s guidelines with regard to common stock ownership by non-employee directors are for each such person to own common stock with a market value of at least four times the amount of the annualized cash retainer for non-employee directors, with such market value to be measured as of the last day of each fiscal year.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on the Company’s website at www.virco.com in the "Investor Relations" section of the webpage. The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including their judgment of the quality and appropriateness of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements.

In addition, the Audit Committee has received from the independent registered public accounting firm the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditors’ independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with management its report on internal control over financial reporting.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER MATTERS
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of any equity security of the Company to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish copies of these reports to the Company. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms that the Company received, and other information available to it, to the best of the Company’s knowledge all such reports were timely filed, except that one Form 4 for one transaction was filed late for Agnieszka Winkler.
2026 Stockholder Proposals
If a stockholder wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and wants that proposal to appear in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting, the proposal must be submitted in writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California 90501, Attention: Bassey Yau, no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of this Proxy Statement, or January 6, 2026, and must comply with all other applicable SEC requirements in effect at that time. However, if the date of our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders changes by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the date on which our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held, then the deadline would be a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy.
The Company’s bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure with regard to nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and proposals for other business that are not submitted for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and form of proxy but that a stockholder instead wishes to present directly at an Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to submit a nominee or other business for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders without including that nominee or proposal in the Company’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy, the Company’s bylaws require, among other things, that the stockholder submission contain certain information concerning the nominee or other business, as the case may be, and other information specified in the Company’s bylaws, and that the stockholder provide the Company with written notice of such nominee or business not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, or February 17, 2026, provided that, if the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is advanced or delayed more than 40 days from the anniversary date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such nominee or proposal of other business must be submitted no later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or the 10th day following the first public announcement of the date of such meeting. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement specifying the size of increase before February 17, 2026, then a stockholder notice will be considered timely only with respect to nominees for new positions created by such increase if submitted not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the first public announcement of such increase. A stockholder notice should be sent to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California 90501, Attention: Bassey Yau. Proposals or nominations not meeting the advance notice requirements in the Company’s bylaws will not be entertained at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. A copy of the full text of the relevant Bylaws provisions may be obtained from the Company’s filing with the SEC or by writing to our Corporate Secretary at the address identified above.
In addition, in order for stockholders to give timely notice of nominations for directors for inclusion on a universal proxy card in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, notice must be submitted by the same deadline as disclosed above under the advance notice provisions of our bylaws, and must include the information in the notice required by our bylaws and by Rule 14a-19(b)(2) and Rule 14a-19(b)(3) under the Exchange Act.
