Business Description

(A) Description of Business : The Company is a global retail company that operates the Vince brand women's and men's ready to wear business. Vince, established in 2002, is a leading global luxury apparel and accessories brand best known for creating elevated yet understated pieces for every day effortless style. Previously, the Company also owned and operated the Rebecca Taylor and Parker brands until the sale of the respective intellectual property was completed, as discussed below. On April 21, 2023 the Company entered into a strategic partnership ("Authentic Transaction") with Authentic Brands Group, LLC ("Authentic"), a global brand development, marketing and entertainment platform, whereby the Company contributed its intellectual property to a newly formed Authentic subsidiary ("ABG Vince") for cash consideration and a membership interest in ABG Vince. The Company closed the Asset Sale (as defined below) on May 25, 2023. On May 25, 2023, in connection with the Authentic Transaction, V Opco, LLC (formerly, Vince, LLC) ("V Opco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with ABG-Vince LLC, which provides V Opco with an exclusive, long-term license to use the Licensed Property in the Territory to the Approved Accounts (each as defined in the License Agreement). See Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for additional information. Rebecca Taylor, founded in 1996 in New York City, was a contemporary womenswear line lauded for its signature prints, romantic detailing and vintage inspired aesthetic, reimagined for a modern era. On September 12, 2022, the Company announced its decision to wind down the Rebecca Taylor business. On December 22, 2022, the Company's indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Rebecca Taylor, Inc., completed the sale of its intellectual property and certain related ancillary assets to RT IPCO, LLC, an affiliate of Ramani Group. On May 3, 2024, V Opco completed the sale of all outstanding shares of Rebecca Taylor, Inc., which held the Rebecca Taylor business prior to the wind down, to Nova Acquisitions, LLC. See Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for further information. Parker, founded in 2008 in New York City, was a contemporary women's fashion brand that was trend focused. During the first half of fiscal 2020 the Company decided to pause the creation of new products for the Parker brand to focus resources on the operations of the Vince and Rebecca Taylor brands. On February 17, 2023, the Company's indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, Parker Lifestyle, LLC, completed the sale of its intellectual property and certain related ancillary assets to Parker IP Co. LLC, an affiliate of BCI Brands. On January 22, 2025, P180, a venture focused on accelerating growth and profitability in the luxury apparel sector, acquired a majority stake in the Company (the “P180 Acquisition”) from affiliates of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (collectively, “Sun Capital”). Simultaneously with the P180 Acquisition, V Opco amended its existing credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”). The amendment consented to, among other things, the change in control in connection with the P180 Acquisition, as well as a partial pay down of the subordinated debt with SK Financial Services, LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital, through increased borrowings under the credit agreement with BofA. On the same day, V Opco paid $ 15,000 to SK Financial Services, LLC using proceeds from the credit facility, which resulted in a pay-down of $ 20,000 of the subordinated debt (the “Sun Debt Paydown”). In addition, in connection with the P180 Acquisition, P180 acquired and assumed $ 7,000 of the loans outstanding pursuant to the subordinated debt and immediately thereafter cancelled such $ 7,000 (the “P180 Debt Forgiveness”). Following the Sun Debt Paydown and P180 Debt Forgiveness, the outstanding principal amount of subordinated debt was reduced by approximately $ 27,000 with $ 7,500 remaining outstanding, which will continue to accrue payment-in-kind interest in accordance with, and otherwise be subject to, the terms and conditions therein. See Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for additional information. The Company reaches its customers through a variety of channels, specifically through major wholesale department stores and specialty stores in the United States ("U.S.") and select international markets, as well as through the Company's branded retail locations and the Company's websites.…
