Explanation of Responses:
1.

In connection with the completed acquisition (the "Transaction") of a significant portion of Global Brands Group Holding Limited's ("GBG") North American licensing business (the "Acquired Business"), the Company's Compensation and Stock Incentive Committee of the Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee") accelerated the vesting of the remaining 12,886 RSUs scheduled to vest on 12/31/18.
2. In connection with Mr. McLallen's role in the Transaction, the Company's Compensation Committee granted the reporting person a one time grant of RSUs pursuant to the Plan that were immediately vested.
