Note 2. Significant Transactions

Wind Down of Rebecca Taylor Business

On September 12, 2022, the Company announced its decision to wind down the Rebecca Taylor business. On September 30, 2022, the Company entered into amendments to the Term Loan Credit Facility, the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and the Third Lien Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 "Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements"), which in part, permitted the sale of the intellectual property of the Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and the Rebecca Taylor, Inc. liquidation. 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 July 7, 2023, Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and Rebecca Taylor Retail Stores, LLC, each as an assignor, made a General Assignment for the Benefit of the Creditors (the "Assignment") to a respective assignee, an unaffiliated California limited liability company, pursuant to California state law. The Assignment resulted in the residual rights and assets of each of Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and Rebecca Taylor Retail Stores, LLC being assigned and transferred to such assignees. As a result, Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and Rebecca Taylor Retail Stores, LLC no longer held any assets.

On May 3, 2024, V Opco, LLC (formerly, Vince, LLC) ("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. Nova Acquisitions, LLC is wholly owned by James Carroll, who served as the sole director and officer of Rebecca Taylor, Inc. at the time of the Transaction, pursuant to a service agreement between Mr. Carroll and Rebecca Taylor, Inc. that was previously entered into in September 2022 in connection with the wind-down. While serving as the sole director and officer of Rebecca Taylor, Inc., Mr. Carroll did not serve as an

agent to the Company and was not a related party to the Company. Following the completion of the Transaction, there exists no relationship or arrangement whatsoever between Mr. Carroll and the Company or any of its affiliates. The Transaction was completed pursuant to the SPA, dated May 3, 2024, entered into between the Seller and Nova Acquisitions, LLC. The SPA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of this nature, but does not include any indemnification provisions for the benefit of either party. Following the completion of the Transaction, there is no ongoing involvement between the Company and Rebecca Taylor, Inc. As Rebecca Taylor Inc. was in a net liability position, as a result of the Transaction the Company recognized a gain on sale of subsidiary of $7,634, which is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for fiscal 2024.

Sale of Vince Intellectual Property

On April 21, 2023 the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement (defined below), pursuant to which V Opco agreed to sell and transfer to ABG-Vince LLC (f/k/a ABG-Viking, LLC) ("ABG Vince"), an indirect subsidiary of Authentic, all intellectual property assets related to the business operated under the Vince brand in exchange for total consideration of $76,500 in cash and a 25% membership interest in ABG Vince (the "Asset Sale"). The Asset Sale was consummated in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement on May 25, 2023 (the "Closing Date"). Through the agreement, Authentic owns the majority stake of 75% membership interest in ABG Vince.

Operating Agreement

On May 25, 2023, in connection with the closing (the "Closing") of the Asset Sale pursuant to the Intellectual Property Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), dated as of April 21, 2023, by and among V Opco, ABG Vince, the Company and ABG Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC, V Opco and ABG Vince entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of ABG-Vince, LLC (the "Operating Agreement"), which, among other things, provides for the management of the business and the affairs of ABG Vince, the allocation of profits and losses, the distribution of cash of ABG Vince among its members and the rights, obligations and interests of the members to each other and to V Opco.

The Company accounts for its 25% interest in ABG Vince under the equity method. In applying the equity method, the Company recorded the initial investment at cost and subsequently increases or decreases the carrying amount of the investment by the Company's proportionate share of net income or loss. Distributions received from ABG Vince are recognized as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment. The Company's proportionate share of ABG Vince's net income or loss is recorded within Equity in net income of equity method investment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The carrying value for the Company's investment in ABG Vince is recorded within Equity method investment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records its share of net income or loss using a one-month lag. This convention does not materially impact the Company's results.

The Company reviews its investment in ABG Vince for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. If the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value and the loss in value is other than temporary, the investment is considered impaired and reduced to fair value, and the impairment is recognized in the period identified. Factors providing evidence of such a loss include changes in ABG Vince's operations or financial condition, significant continuing losses, and significant negative economic conditions, among others. During the fiscal years 2025 and 2024 there was no impairment of the investment in ABG Vince.

License Agreement

On May 25, 2023, in connection with the Closing, V Opco and ABG Vince entered into a License Agreement (the "License Agreement"), which provides V Opco with a license to use the Licensed Property in the Territory, which is defined as the United States, Canada, Andorra, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Italy, San Marino, Vatican City, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Republic of Cyprus (excluding Northern Cyprus), United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and Korea (the "Core Territory"), together with all other territories (the "Option Territory"), to the Approved Accounts (each as defined in the License Agreement). V Opco is required to operate and maintain a minimum of 45 Retail Stores and Shop-in-Shops in the Territory. The Option Territory may be changed unilaterally by ABG Vince at any time after the effective date of the License Agreement.

Additionally, the License Agreement provides V Opco with a license to use the Licensed Property to design, manufacture, promote, market, distribute, and sell ready-to-wear Sportswear Products and Outerwear Products (the "Core Products") and Home Décor and Baby Layettes (the "Option Products," together with the Core Products, the "Licensed Products"), which Option Products may be changed unilaterally by ABG Vince at any time after the effective date of the License Agreement.

The initial term of the License Agreement began on May 25, 2023, the date on which the Closing actually occurred, and ends at the end of the Company's 2032 fiscal year, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement. V Opco has the

option to renew the License Agreement on the terms set forth in the License Agreement for eight consecutive periods of ten years each, unless the License Agreement is sooner terminated pursuant to its terms or V Opco is in material breach of the License Agreement and such breach has not been cured within the specified cure period. V Opco may elect not to renew the term for a renewal term.

V Opco is required to pay ABG Vince a royalty on net sales of Licensed Products and committed to an annual guaranteed minimum royalty of $11,000 and annual minimum net sales as specified in the License Agreement, in each case, during the initial term of the License Agreement, except that the guaranteed minimum royalty and minimum net sales for the first contract year during the initial term was prorated to the period beginning on the Closing Date and ended at the end of the Company's 2023 fiscal year. The annual guaranteed minimum royalty and annual minimum net sales for each subsequent renewal term is equal to the greater of (i) a percentage as set forth in the License Agreement of the guaranteed minimum net royalty or the minimum net sales (as applicable) of the immediately preceding contract year, and (ii) the average of actual Royalties (as defined in the License Agreement, with respect to the guaranteed minimum royalty) or actual Net Sales (as defined in the License Agreement, with respect to the annual minimum net sales) during certain years as set forth in the License Agreement of the preceding initial term or renewal term (as applicable). V Opco is required to pay royalties comprised of a low single digit percentage of net sales arising from retail and e-commerce sales of Licensed Products and a mid single digit percentage of net sales arising from wholesale sales of such Licensed Products.

In the event that the annual guaranteed minimum royalty paid to ABG Vince in any given contract year is greater than the actual royalties earned by ABG Vince in the same contract year, the difference between the royalty actually earned and the annual guaranteed minimum royalty paid is credited for the next two contract years against any amount of royalty earned by ABG Vince in excess of the annual guaranteed minimum royalty paid during each such contract year, if any. Royalty expense is included within Cost of product sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

P180 Acquisition

On January 22, 2025, P180 Vince Acquisition Co. (“P180”) purchased 8,481,318 shares of common stock of the Company, which constituted approximately 67% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, from affiliates of Sun Capital in a privately negotiated stock purchase transaction (the “P180 Acquisition”) for approximately $19,800 in cash. 1,262,933 of these purchased shares were held back at the closing by the affiliates of Sun Capital and all or a portion of such shares will be transferred to P180 in the event the remaining outstanding obligations under the Sun Amended Credit Agreement are purchased by P180 (or any of its affiliates or designees) from SK Financial Services, or otherwise repaid in full, prior to September 22, 2025. P180 will forfeit its right to, and such affiliates of Sun Capital will be entitled to retain, a portion of such held back shares if such purchase or repayment occurs after January 24, 2025, and P180 will forfeit its right to all held back shares if such purchase or repayment does not occur on or prior to September 22, 2025. The affiliates of Sun Capital agreed to various voting, transfer and other restrictions on the held back shares. As a purchase or repayment of the remaining outstanding obligations under the Sun Amended Credit Agreement has not occurred on or prior to September 22, 2025, P180 has forfeited its right to all held back shares.

In connection with the P180 Acquisition, on January 22, 2025, V Opco entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its 2023 Revolving Credit Facility or "ABL Credit Agreement", and, simultaneously with the entry into the First Amendment, entered into the Fifth Amendment (the “Third Lien Fifth Amendment”) to its Third Lien Credit Facility or "Sun Credit Agreement" and paid $15,000 to SK Financial Services, LLC with the proceeds from additional borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility as repayment of $20,000 in outstanding principal amount of the loans outstanding under the Third Lien Credit Facility (such pay-down transaction, the “Sun Debt Paydown”). In addition, in connection with the P180 Acquisition, P180 acquired and assumed from SK Financial Services LLC approximately $7,000 of the remaining outstanding balance owed by the Company under the Third Lien Credit Facility. Immediately thereafter, P180 agreed to forgive and cancel such $7,000 (the “P180 Debt Forgiveness”) such that there remained outstanding an aggregate of approximately $7,500 under the Third Lien Credit Facility, which will continue to accrue interest in accordance with, and otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Third Lien Credit Facility. In addition, pursuant to the Debt Forgiveness, P180 and its parent company, P180, Inc., agreed to pay or reimburse the Company for its fees and expenses associated with the transactions relating to the P180 Acquisition. See Note 5 "Long Term Debt and Financing Arrangements" for additional discussion.

The Company determined that the changes to the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility under the First Amendment did not result in a change to the borrowing capacity of the arrangement, and therefore $458 of costs incurred in connection with the First Amendment have been deferred and will be recognized over the term of the arrangement, which is presented within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company determined that modification to the Third Lien Credit Facility under the Fifth Amendment and the corresponding Sun Debt Paydown and P180 Debt Forgiveness should be recorded as debt extinguishment of the Third Lien Credit Facility in accordance with ASC 470. The Company derecognized the old debt and recorded the new debt at fair value in the amount of $7,713, and a gain upon extinguishment in the amount of $11,575. As Sun Capital and affiliates and P180 maintained an equity interest in the Company at the time of transaction, the gain on extinguishment was recorded as a capital contribution within equity.

SK Financial Services, LLC is an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun Capital”), whose affiliates owned approximately 67% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the P180 Acquisition. Immediately following the P180 Acquisition, affiliates of Sun Capital continued to own approximately 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, the P180 Acquisition resulted in accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock units. See Note 7 "Share Based Compensation" for additional information.
