Introduction

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 20, 2025 (as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Guess, Authentic, Parent, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and among other things, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, will be merged with and into Guess with Guess surviving as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Guess’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Guess Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Guess Common Stock owned by Authentic, Parent, Merger Sub or any other controlled affiliate of Authentic or Parent, Guess or any wholly owned subsidiary of Guess, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties, or shares owned beneficially or of record by Paul Marciano, Carlos Alberini, certain trusts, foundations and/or affiliates of each of them and of Maurice Marciano, and Nicolai Marciano (the “Rolling Stockholders”), as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, or shares of Guess Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any stockholder who has duly and validly demanded appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and has not effectively withdrawn or otherwise waived or lost such right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $16.75 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), less any required tax withholdings. Upon completion of the Merger, all such shares of Guess Common Stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and no longer be publicly traded, and holders of such shares of Guess Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration will cease to own any shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Authentic and Guess entered into a voting and support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Paul Marciano, Carlos Alberini, certain trusts, foundations and/or affiliates of each of them and of Maurice Marciano and certain other Guess stockholders

parties thereto (collectively, the “Supporting Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Supporting Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, vote all shares of Guess Common Stock owned by them in favor of any proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger and Disposition (as defined below) and against certain actions that are intended or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Merger, the Disposition or the other Transactions (as defined below). Each Supporting Stockholder also agreed pursuant to the Voting Agreement to effect the transactions set forth in the Pre-Closing Restructuring Plan (which are to be effected by such person) and to take certain actions under the Merger Agreement as if references to Parent and Merger Sub in the Merger Agreement were to the Rolling Stockholders. From and after the consummation of the Parent Equity Transfer, each OpCo Investor agrees to cause Parent and Merger Sub to take all actions required by Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement terminates automatically upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) written agreement of the parties thereto. The Voting Agreement also includes certain restrictions on the transfer of Guess Common Stock by the Supporting Stockholders. The Supporting Stockholders held approximately 49.972% of the issued and outstanding shares of Guess Common Stock as of the Capitalization Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

Also concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Authentic and the Rolling Stockholders entered into an interim investors agreement (the “Interim Investors Agreement”). Pursuant to the Interim Investors Agreement, Authentic and the Rolling Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, effect the transactions (to the extent such transactions are to be effected by such person) set forth in the Pre-Closing Restructuring Plan and cooperate with respect to various aspects of the Transactions. The Interim Investors Agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) written agreement of the parties thereto.

A Special Committee composed solely of independent and disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) was formed by Guess’ Board of Directors (the “Guess Board”) and, with the assistance of its own independent financial and legal advisors, considered, evaluated and negotiated the Per Share Merger Consideration and the other terms of the Merger Agreement. The Special Committee unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and Disposition (the “Transactions”), are fair to, and in the best interests of, the holders of the outstanding shares of Guess Common Stock, excluding (a) Authentic, Parent, and Merger Sub and their respective controlled affiliates (if applicable), (b) the Supporting Stockholders and their respective affiliates, (c) certain additional family members of the Supporting Stockholders, (d) the members of the Guess Board, and (e) any person that Guess has determined to be an “officer” of Guess within the meaning of Section 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act (such holders, the “Unaffiliated Company Stockholders”), and (ii) recommended to the Guess Board that it (x) approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, and the Transactions, including the Merger and Disposition, (y) determine that the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, and the Transactions, including the Merger and Disposition, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders, and (z) recommend that Guess stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger and Disposition at any meeting of Guess’ stockholders. Acting on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the Guess Board (with Messrs. Marciano and Alberini recusing themselves) (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, and the Transactions, including the Merger and Disposition; (ii) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, and the Transactions, including the Merger and Disposition, are fair to, and in the best interests of, Guess and its stockholders, including the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders, (iii) resolved to recommend that Guess’ stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger and Disposition at any meeting of Guess’ stockholders; and (iv) directed that the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and Disposition, be submitted to Guess’ stockholders for their adoption and approval at the Special Meeting.

The approval of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger and a resolution approving (a) the purchase by Authentic (or its designee(s)) of all right, title and interest in and to at least 51% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of certain newly-formed subsidiaries of Guess (the “Company IPCos”) and (b) at Parent’s option, the purchase by IPCo Holdings (or its designee) of all right, title and interest in up to 19% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company IPCos (such purchases, collectively, the

“Disposition”) (the “Merger Proposal”) requires an affirmative vote of (a) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Guess Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger Proposal and (b) a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders (as such term is defined in Section 144 of the DGCL, and excluding any stockholder that is not an Unaffiliated Company Stockholder).

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, Guess is filing with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Guess Board is soliciting proxies from stockholders of Guess in connection with the Merger Proposal. The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1).
