<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">On May 6, 2024, The Children&rsquo;s
Place, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) a definitive proxy statement
on Schedule 14A, relating to the Company&rsquo;s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the &ldquo;Annual Meeting&rdquo;) to be held on
Wednesday, May 22, 2024, commencing at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern) (the &ldquo;Proxy Statement&rdquo;). As previously disclosed, the board of
directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on April 10, 2024 as the record date (the &ldquo;Record Date&rdquo;) for determining
shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any and all postponements, continuations and adjournments thereof. Capitalized
terms used in this supplement to the Proxy Statement (the &ldquo;Supplement&rdquo;) without definition have the same meanings as set forth
in the Proxy Statement.</P>

a recent change in the proposed nominees for election to the Board and in the Company&rsquo;s executive officers. <B>The Proxy Statement
contains important additional information. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.</B> Except as specifically
amended or supplemented by the information contained herein, this Supplement does not otherwise modify, amend or supplement the Proxy
Statement, and the information contained in the Proxy Statement should be considered in voting your shares. If you have already returned
your proxy card or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">As previously disclosed by
the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) on May 21, 2024
(the &ldquo;8-K&rdquo;), Jane T. Elfers, who served as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board, departed
from her roles as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board pursuant to a mutual agreement with the Company,
effective as of May 20, 2024. Ms. Elfers was one of the director nominees named in the Proxy Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">As described in the Proxy
Statement, the Board nominated six candidates to stand for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. However, due to Ms. Elfers&rsquo;
departure from the Board, Ms. Elfers&rsquo; name has been withdrawn from nomination for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.
The Board has determined that it will not nominate a replacement director for election at the Annual Meeting. Each of the five remaining
candidates nominated by the Board named in the Proxy Statement intends to stand for election at the Annual Meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The revised list of nominees
to be considered for election to the Board includes each of Turki Saleh A. AlRajhi, Hussan Arshad, Douglas Edwards, Muhammad Asif Seemab
and Muhammad Umair. Further information on these five nominees is provided in the Proxy Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Also as previously disclosed
in the 8-K, on May 20, 2024, the Board appointed Muhammad Umair, who is currently a Board member, as President and Interim Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, effective as of May 20, 2024. As a result of his appointment as President and Interim Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Umair no longer qualifies as an &ldquo;independent director&rdquo; under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and resigned from his positions as a member of the Human Capital &amp; Compensation Committee and the
Audit Committee of the Board. With respect to compliance with Rule 5604(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which requires the Company
to have an audit committee composed of at least three independent directors, the Company will rely on the cure period as set forth in
Rule 5605(c)(4). The Company intends to appoint an additional independent director and fill the vacancy on the Audit Committee as expeditiously
as possible.</P>

in the Company&rsquo;s definitive proxy materials remains valid, notwithstanding Ms. Elfers&rsquo; withdrawal from the list of director
nominees. Any votes that are or have been submitted with instruction to vote for all of the Board&rsquo;s nominees will be voted only
for the remaining five nominees named in the Proxy Statement. Proxies already returned by shareholders will remain valid and will be voted
at the Annual Meeting unless revoked. Proxies received in respect of the election of Ms. Elfers will be disregarded and will not be voted
with respect to her election, but will continue to be voted as directed or otherwise as set forth therein with respect to all matters
properly brought before the Annual Meeting, including the election of the other director nominees.</P>
