<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>In Response to Rapid Stock Accumulation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ATLANTA &#8211; September&nbsp;24, 2025 &#8211; Carter&#8217;s, Inc. (NYSE: CRI) (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;Carter&#8217;s&#8221;), North
America&#8217;s largest and most-enduring apparel company exclusively for babies and young children, today announced that its Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) has unanimously adopted a limited duration stockholder rights agreement
(the&nbsp;&#8220;Rights Agreement&#8221;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Carter&#8217;s recently became aware of the rapid accumulation of a significant amount (16.86%) of the common
stock of the Company by RWWM, Inc., (&#8220;RWWM&#8221;) as disclosed in a Schedule 13G/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) on September&nbsp;4, 2025. Carter&#8217;s was given no advance notice of the stock
accumulation by RWWM, and there has been no communication from RWWM, despite attempts by Carter&#8217;s management to contact RWWM. It is possible that RWWM is continuing to accumulate stock. Therefore, the Board believes that adopting the Rights
Agreement is in the best interests of all Carter&#8217;s stockholders as it will help promote the fair and equal treatment of all stockholders and ensure that the Board remains in the best position to discharge its fiduciary duties. The Rights
Agreement is intended to reduce the likelihood that any entity, person or group is able to gain control of Carter&#8217;s through open market accumulation without paying all stockholders an appropriate control premium or providing the Board
sufficient opportunity to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interests of all stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Rights Agreement,
Carter&#8217;s will issue, by means of a dividend, one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of Carter&#8217;s common stock to stockholders of record on the close of business on October&nbsp;3, 2025. Initially, these rights will
not be exercisable and will trade with, and be represented by, the shares of Carter&#8217;s common stock. </P>

Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rights Agreement is similar to other stockholder rights plans adopted by publicly-held companies. Under the Rights Agreement, if a person
or group (each, an &#8220;acquiring person&#8221;) acquires beneficial ownership of 15% (or 20% in the case of investors eligible to file Schedule 13Gs) or more of the outstanding shares of Carter&#8217;s common stock in a transaction not approved
by the Board, the Board, at its option, may exchange each right (other than rights owned by the acquiring person that will become void and will not be exercisable) in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Carter&#8217;s common stock
per outstanding right, subject to adjustment. Alternatively, if the Board does not elect to exchange the rights, then, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person, whose rights have become void) will be entitled to purchase, at the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">then-current</FONT> exercise price, additional shares of Carter&#8217;s common stock at a fifty percent (50%) discount to the market price of the stock. In addition, the rights also become exercisable if Carter&#8217;s is
acquired in a merger or other business combination after an unapproved party acquires more than 15% (or 20% in the case of certain investors filing on Schedule 13G) of the outstanding shares of Carter&#8217;s common stock, each holder of a right
would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company&#8217;s stock at a fifty percent (50%) discount to the market price of the stock. Except as provided in the Rights Agreement, the Board is
entitled to redeem the rights at $0.0001 per right. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a person or group that beneficially owns 15% (or 20% in the case of certain investors filing on
Schedule 13G) or more of the outstanding shares of Carter&#8217;s common stock prior to Carter&#8217;s announcement of its adoption of the Rights Agreement, then that person&#8217;s or group&#8217;s existing ownership percentage will be
grandfathered at their current ownership levels, although, with certain exceptions, the rights will become exercisable for stockholders other than that person or group, if at any time after the announcement of the adoption of the Rights Agreement
such person or group increases its ownership of Carter&#8217;s common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional information regarding the Rights Agreement will be contained in a
