<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This Conflict Minerals Report 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 results of operations, including adjusted
net income (loss) 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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 3, 2024. Included among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially are
the risk that the Company will be unable to achieve operating results at levels sufficient to fund and/or finance the Company&rsquo;s
current level of operations and repayment of indebtedness, 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 (including inflation), the risk that changes in
the Company&rsquo;s plans and strategies with respect to pricing, capital allocation, capital structure, investor communications and/or
operations may have a negative effect on our business, the risk that the Company&rsquo;s strategic initiatives to increase sales and
margin, improve operational efficiencies, enhance operating controls, decentralize operational authority and reshape the Company&rsquo;s
culture are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk of delays, interruptions, disruptions and higher costs in
the Company&rsquo;s global supply chain, including resulting from disease outbreaks, foreign sources of supply in less developed countries,
more politically unstable countries, or countries where vendors fail to comply with industry standards or ethical business practices,
including the use of forced, indentured or child labor, 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 securities, 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, risks related to the existence of a controlling shareholder, and the uncertainty of weather patterns. Readers of this Conflict
Minerals Report 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.</P>

use of conflict minerals (as defined below) if those minerals are &ldquo;necessary to the functionality or production of a product&rdquo;
manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by those companies. The conflict minerals covered by the Rule are tantalum, tin, gold,
tungsten (&ldquo;3TG&rdquo;) or any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict
in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, <I>i.e.</I>, any of Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic

Accordingly, the Company conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (or &ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) and due diligence as required by the

ore from which minerals are produced, and the smelters or refineries (&ldquo;SORs&rdquo;) that process those ores. The efforts undertaken
to identify the country(ies) of origin of those ores reflect the Company&rsquo;s circumstances and position in the supply chain. The
Company must rely on information obtained from direct suppliers, who in turn, must obtain information from upstream suppliers, on the
origin of the 3TG used in the products manufactured for the Company. Such information may be inaccurate or incomplete.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company has a conflict minerals team (or

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As part of the Company&rsquo;s RCOI process,
the Company developed a risk-based approach that focused on direct suppliers of finished products, as well as suppliers that are reasonably
likely to supply components or trims containing one or more of the 3TG metals (together, the &ldquo;In-Scope Suppliers&rdquo;) which
could have originated from the Covered Countries.</P>

Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative&rsquo;s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &ldquo;CMRT&rdquo;). Only CMRT&rsquo;s version 4.0
or higher were accepted. The Company believes that the CMRT is generally regarded as the most common reporting tool for conflict minerals
content and sourcing information worldwide, developed by several of the world&rsquo;s leading consumer electronics brands. As such, the
Company believes the process was reasonably designed and performed in good faith.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The CMRT includes questions regarding the presence

process, and information about its supply chain, including the names and locations of SORs.</P>

one or more of the 3TG metals as necessary to the functionality or production of the products they manufactured for the Company. Based
on the responses received, the Company was unable to confirm or form the basis for a reasonable belief whether any of the 3TG metals
