DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FROM BARINGTON AND MACELLUM</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><B>SECAUCUS, N.J., April 13, 2015</B> <B>(BUSINESS
WIRE)</B> -- The Children's Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), the largest pure-play children's specialty apparel retailer in North America,
today confirmed that it has received notice from Barington Capital Group, L.P. (&ldquo;Barington&rdquo;) and Macellum Advisors
GP, LLC (&ldquo;Macellum&rdquo;), which collectively own less than two percent of the Company&rsquo;s shares, that they have nominated
three individuals in opposition to The Children&rsquo;s Place&rsquo;s three nominees &ndash; Norman Matthews (Chairman of the Board),
Kenneth Reiss (Chair of the Audit Committee) and Stanley Reynolds (member of the Audit Committee) &ndash; standing for re-election
to the Board of Directors at the Company&rsquo;s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on May 22, 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">The Children&rsquo;s Place&rsquo;s Board of Directors
has evaluated Barington and Macellum&rsquo;s nominees and concluded that the Company&rsquo;s three nominees and the other members
of the Board have the right combination of expertise, experience and independence. As such, the Board recommends election of the
Company&rsquo;s nominees and has rejected the Barington/ Macellum nominees. Stockholders do not need to take any action at this
time.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">Norman Matthews, Chairman of the Board of the Children&rsquo;s
Place, stated, &ldquo;Our Board composition has undergone a dramatic change over the last five years. Six of the eight current
Board members were added during that time. Two of these new independent directors joined the Company&rsquo;s Board in 2014. Our
directors bring deep experience, including retail, operations, finance, international, product innovation, marketing and customer
relationship management expertise.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">Mr. Matthews continued: &ldquo;We appreciate constructive
input from our shareholders and are always open to listen to ideas to improve the Company. However, we believe that Barington and
Macellum&rsquo;s views on the Company&rsquo;s leadership and performance are simply incorrect. Our Board and management team are
driving a transformation of The Children&rsquo;s Place, which has resulted in a significant increase in shareholder value, measured
by an increase in stock price, share repurchases and the payment of dividends. Substantial progress has been made, and we expect
to continue to see the benefits of our meaningful investments in 2015. Our management team has updated our merchandise assortments,
developed and is implementing a sweeping systems and technology transformation plan, transformed our outlet channel, launched international
franchise and wholesale businesses, and evaluated and continues to optimize our store fleet. We believe The Children&rsquo;s Place
is well positioned to continue to excel in the intensely competitive specialty children&rsquo;s apparel category.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements
regarding future circumstances. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's current expectations and assumptions
and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially. Some of
these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in
the &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; section of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014. Included among
the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company

nature of the Company&rsquo;s business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by the weakness
in the economy that continues to affect the Company&rsquo;s target customer, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives
to increase sales and margin are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk that the cost of raw materials
or energy prices will increase beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through value
engineering or price increases, and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly
any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or
