<P STYLE="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0">As you may have seen, a small activist group, Barington Capital
Group and Macellum Advisors, intend to nominate 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 our Board of Directors at the 2015 Annual Meeting in May.</P>

Norman S. Matthews, outlining their views on the Company&rsquo;s strategy and leadership.&nbsp; Today we issued the attached press

Nominations from Barington and Macellum</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt"><B>SECAUCUS, N.J.&mdash;(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13,
2015</B>-- The Children&rsquo;s Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), the largest pure-play children&rsquo;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: 10pt/normal Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">The Children&rsquo;s Place 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: 10pt/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: 10pt/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>
