Current Report on Form 8-K </I></FONT><I>contains or may contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements relating to the Company&rsquo;s
strategic initiatives and adjusted net income per diluted share. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of
terms such as &ldquo;may,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;project,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo;
 &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate&rdquo; and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.
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 2, 2019. Included among the risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company will be unsuccessful in gauging fashion
trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from the highly competitive nature of the Company&rsquo;s business
and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by changes in economic conditions, 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 of delays,
interruptions and disruptions in the Company&rsquo;s global supply chain, including resulting from foreign sources of supply in
less developed countries or more politically unstable countries, 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, various types of litigation, including class action litigations brought under consumer protection, employment, and privacy
and information security laws and regulations, the imposition of regulations affecting the importation of foreign-produced merchandise,
including duties and tariffs, 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
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.</I></P>
