On December 23, 2022, Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd.

Specifically, following the passing of Mr. Russell Manock, a director of the Company, on December 18, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company was no longer compliant with Section 803B(2)(a)(iii) of the Company Guide as it did not have a financially sophisticated audit committee member. The Company has until the earlier of its next annual shareholders’ meeting or December 18, 2023 to regain compliance with the audit committee composition requirements contained in the Company Guide, and the Board intends to regain compliance with such requirements prior to such deadline.
