Pay vs Performance Disclosure          
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, below is the disclosure regarding executive compensation for Harvey S. Kanter, our principal executive officer (“PEO”), our non-PEO NEOs, and our Company's financial performance for the fiscal years listed below. The Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown. The amounts shown for “Compensation Actually Paid” have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by our NEO's. These amounts reflect total compensation per the “Summary Compensation Table,” with certain required adjustments as described in the following table and footnotes.

For more information concerning our philosophy of how we align compensation for our NEOs to certain performance metrics, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

The Peer Group TSR used in this table is the Dow Jones U.S. Apparel Retailers Index (assuming reinvestment of all dividends), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2025. The comparison assumes that $100 was invested for the period starting January 31, 2020 through the end of each fiscal year.
(5)
We have identified Adjusted EBITDA as our Company Selected Measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure. For our Company, Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and before the loss from termination of retirement plans, non-recurring accrual for estimated legal settlement costs, and asset impairment (gain), if any.
