(In thousands, except per share data and share amounts)

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(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. The Company designs products in the U.S. and sources the vast majority of products from contract manufacturers outside the U.S., primarily in Asia. Products are manufactured to meet the Company's product specifications and labor standards.

(B)Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and the accounts of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries as of January 31, 2026. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation.

(C)Fiscal Year: The Company operates on a fiscal calendar widely used by the retail industry that results in a given fiscal year consisting of a 52 or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31.

References to "fiscal year 2025" or "fiscal 2025" refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026; and

References to "fiscal year 2024" or "fiscal 2024" refer to the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025.

Fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024 consisted of 52-week periods.

(D)Sources and Uses of Liquidity: The Company's sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, if any, borrowings available under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 "Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements") and the Company's ability to access the capital markets, including the Sales Agreement entered into with Virtu Americas LLC in June 2023 (see Note 9 "Stockholders' Equity" for further information). The Company's primary cash needs are funding working capital requirements, including royalty payments under the License Agreement, meeting debt service requirements and capital expenditures for new stores and related leasehold improvements. The most significant components of the Company's working capital are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and other current liabilities.

The Company’s future financial results may be subject to substantial fluctuations, and may be impacted by business conditions and macroeconomic factors, particularly in light of implemented tariffs and ongoing developments. While we expect to meet our monthly Excess Availability (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement) covenant and believe that our other sources of liquidity will generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued, the foregoing expectation is dependent on a number of factors, including, among others, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from a combination of tariff mitigating initiatives, our ongoing ability to manage our operating obligations, the ability of our partners to satisfy their payment obligations to us when due, the results of the currently ongoing inventory valuation and potential borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders based on their credit judgment, all of which could be significantly and negatively impacted by implemented tariffs and ongoing developments, as well as changing trade policies between the U.S. and its trading partners, in addition to other macroeconomic factors. Any material negative impact from these factors or others could require us to implement alternative plans to satisfy our liquidity needs which may be unsuccessful. In the event that we are unable to timely service our debt, meet other contractual payment obligations or fund our other liquidity needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity, seek waivers of or amendments to our contractual obligations for payment, reduce or delay scheduled expansions and capital expenditures, liquidate inventory through additional discounting, sell material assets or operations, or seek other financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that these options would be readily available to us and our inability to address our liquidity needs could materially and adversely affect our operations and jeopardize our business, financial condition and results of operations.

(E)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements which affect revenues and expenses during the period reported. Estimates are adjusted when necessary to reflect actual experience. Significant estimates and assumptions may affect many items in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from estimates and assumptions in amounts that may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

(F)Cash and cash equivalents: All demand deposits and highly liquid short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

(G)Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company maintains an allowance for accounts receivable estimated to be uncollectible. The adjustments to the provision are recorded in Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense. Substantially all of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to retailers and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its wholesale partners' financial condition and requires collateral as deemed necessary. The past due status of a receivable is based on its contractual terms. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be collected.

Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances including expected future chargebacks from wholesale partners and estimated margin support. It is the nature of the apparel and fashion industry that suppliers similar to the Company face significant pressure from customers in the retail industry to provide allowances to compensate for wholesale partner margin shortfalls. This pressure often takes the form of customers requiring the Company to provide price concessions on prior shipments as a prerequisite for obtaining future orders. Pressure for these concessions is largely determined by overall retail sales performance and, more specifically, the performance of the Company's products at retail. To the extent the Company's wholesale partners have more of the Company's goods on hand at the end of the season, there will be greater pressure for the Company to grant markdown concessions on prior shipments. Accounts receivable balances are reported net of expected allowances for these matters based on the historical level of concessions required and estimates of the level of markdowns and allowances that will be required in the coming season. The Company evaluates the allowance balances on a continual basis and adjusts them as necessary to reflect changes in anticipated allowance activity. The Company also provides an allowance for sales returns based on known trends and historical return rates. In fiscal 2025, the Company recorded an increase in its allowance for doubtful accounts primarily due to expected losses on trade receivables associated with a wholesale customer, Saks Global ("Saks"), filing for a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 under U.S. Bankruptcy Code in January 2026 (the "Saks Reorganization"). The Company continues to engage in business with Saks.

In fiscal 2025 and 2024, sales toone wholesale partner accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's net sales. Sales to this partner represented 26% of both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 net sales.

Three wholesale partners represented greater than ten percent of the Company's gross accounts receivable balances as of the end of both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. One partner represented 36% and 24% as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively, the second represented 29% and 32% as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively, and the third represented 15% and 14% as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively.

(H)Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The cost of inventory includes purchase cost as well as sourcing, transportation, duty, and other processing costs associated with acquiring, importing, and preparing inventory for sale. Inventory costs are included in cost of products sold at the time of their sale. Product development costs are expensed in SG&A expense when incurred. Inventory values are reduced to net realizable value when there are factors indicating that certain inventories will not be sold on terms sufficient to recover their cost. Inventories consist of finished goods. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025 finished goods, net of reserves were $66,240 and $59,146, resp ectively.

The Company has three major suppliers that accounted for approximately 18%,14% and 13%, respectively, of inventory purchases for fiscal 2025 and 16%,16% and 13%, respectively, of inventory purchases for fiscal 2024. Amounts due to these suppliers were $3,042 as of January 31, 2026 and $4,021 as of February 1, 2025, and were included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(I)Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ofthree toten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term, excluding renewal terms. Capitalized software is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the software, generally three toseven years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to earnings while expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon the disposition of property and equipment, the accumulated depreciation is deducted from the original cost and any gain or loss is reflected in current earnings. Property and equipment consisted of the following:

January 31,February 1,
(in thousands)20262025
Leasehold improvements$32,499$30,009
Furniture, fixtures and equipment10,1559,716
Capitalized software14,58714,696
Construction in process231,026
Total property and equipment57,26455,447
Less: accumulated depreciation(49,325)(48,069)
Property and equipment, net$7,939$7,378

Depreciation expense was $2,580 and $3,887 forfiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

(J)Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets which consist of property and equipment and operating lease assets when the existence of facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than previously estimated or that the carrying amount of the asset groups to which these assets relate may not be recoverable. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our retail stores is at the store level. Recoverability of these assets is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the asset group with its estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The recoverability assessment is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and profitability, as well as other variables. If the comparisons indicate that the value of the asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets within the asset group and the loss is recognized during that period. The fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets is determined from the perspective of a market participant considering various factors. The judgments and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the operating lease right-of-use assets are the current comparable market rents for similar properties and a store discount rate. The fair value of the property and equipment is based on its estimated liquidation value. The estimates regarding recoverability and fair value can be affected by factors such as future store results, real estate demand, store closure plans, and economic conditions that can be difficult to predict.

There wereno impairment charges during fiscal 2025 and 2024.

(K)Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the fair market value of the identifiable net assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and in an interim period if a triggering event occurs.

Goodwill is not allocated to the Company's operating segments in the measure of segment assets regularly reported to and used by management; however, goodwill is allocated to operating segments (goodwill reporting units) for the purpose of the annual impairment test for goodwill.

An entity may elect to perform a qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill. If adverse qualitative trends are identified during the qualitative assessment that indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is required. "Step one" of the quantitative impairment test for goodwill requires an entity to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare such fair value to the respective carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired, and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

An entity may pass on performing the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit and directly perform the quantitative assessment. An entity may resume performing a qualitative assessment in subsequent periods.

Determining the fair value of goodwill is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including, when a discounted cash flows method is used, estimates of projected revenues, EBITDA margins, long-term growth rates, working capital, and discount rates. It is possible that estimates of future operating results could change adversely and impact the evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and that the effect of such changes could be material.

In fiscal 2024, the Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter. Concurrent with the performance of the annual impairment test, the P180 Acquisition was consummated. As the P180 Acquisition represented a change of control transaction with an unrelated third party, the fair value of the Company’s Vince Wholesale reporting unit was estimated based on the transaction price of the P180 Acquisition. The estimated fair value of the Company implied by the P180 Acquisition was allocated to the Company’s reporting units, Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer, using a market-based approach, considering the relative contributions of each reporting unit to the Company as well as appropriate valuation multiples for each reporting unit relative to the implied P180 Acquisition multiple. The results of the quantitative test determined that the fair value of the Vince Wholesale reporting unit was below its carrying value by an amount greater than its total goodwill balance and as a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31,973 to write-off the goodwill for the Vince Wholesale reporting unit. The charge was recorded within Impairment of goodwill on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. See Note 3 "Goodwill" for more information on the details surrounding goodwill.

(L)Deferred Financing Costs: Deferred financing costs, such as underwriting, financial advisory, professional fees, and other similar fees are capitalized and recognized in interest expense over the contractual life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method, as this method results in recognition of interest expense that is materially consistent with that of the effective interest method.

(M)Leases: The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company leases various office spaces, showrooms and retail stores. Although certain recent leases are subject to shorter terms as a result of the implementation of the strategy to pursue shorter lease terms when evaluating certain markets, some of the Company's leases have initial terms of 10 years, and in many instances can be extended for an additional term. The Company will not include renewal options in the underlying lease term unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. Substantially all of the Company's leases require a fixed annual rent, and most require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. These percentage rent expenses are considered as variable lease costs and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when incurred. In addition, the Company's real estate leases may also require additional payments for real estate taxes and other occupancy-related costs which it considers as non-lease components.

Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based upon the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based upon a combination of market-based factors, such as market quoted forward yield curves and company specific factors, such as the Company's credit rating, lease size and duration to calculate the present value.

(N)Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Sales are recognized when the control of the goods are transferred to the customer for the Company's wholesale business, upon receipt by the customer for the Company's e-commerce business, and at the time of sale to the consumer for the Company's retail business. See Note 13 "Segment and Geographical Financial Information" for disaggregated revenue amounts by segment.

Revenue associated with gift cards is recognized upon redemption and unredeemed balances are considered a contract liability and recorded within Other accrued expenses, which are subject to escheatment within the jurisdictions in which it operates. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the contract liability was $1,450 and $1,544, respectively. Infiscal 2025, the Company recognized $246 of revenue that was previously included in the contract liability as of February 1, 2025.

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are not material. Such shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of products sold. Sales taxes that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.

Sales are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, which includes estimates for variable consideration. Variable consideration mainly includes discounts, chargebacks, markdown allowances, cooperative advertising programs, and sales returns. Estimated amounts of discounts, chargebacks, markdown allowances, cooperative advertising programs, and sales returns are accounted for as reductions of sales when the associated sale occurs. These estimated amounts are adjusted periodically based on changes in facts and circumstances when the changes become known. On the Company's consolidated balance sheet, reserves for sales returns are included within other accrued liabilities, and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company continues to estimate the amount of sales returns based on known trends and historical return rates.

(O)Cost of Products Sold: The Company's cost of products sold and gross margins may not necessarily be comparable to that of other entities as a result of different practices in categorizing costs. The primary components of the Company's cost of products sold are as follows:

the cost of purchased merchandise, including raw materials;

the cost of inbound transportation, including freight;

the cost of the Company's production and sourcing departments;

other processing costs associated with acquiring and preparing the inventory for sale; and

shrink and valuation reserves.

(P)Marketing and Advertising: The Company provides cooperative advertising allowances to certain of its customers. These allowances are accounted for as reductions in sales as discussed in "Revenue Recognition" above. Production expense related to company-directed advertising is deferred until the first time at which the advertisement runs. All other expenses related to company-directed advertising are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising expense recorded in SG&A expenses was$14,368 and $12,532 infiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. At January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, deferred production expenses associated with company-directed advertising were $596 and $792, respectively.

(Q) Share-Based Compensation: New, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock units, are measured at fair value and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period and is included as a component of SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

(R)Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted rates. The Company assesses the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and adjusts the carrying amount of these deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent the Company believes it more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Many factors are considered when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available and other relevant factors. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. The Company recognizes tax positions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(S)Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated under the treasury stock method.

(T)Recent Accounting Pronouncements: Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, based on current information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires expanded disclosure within the rate reconciliation as well as disaggregation of annual taxes paid. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis within this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The adoption resulted in enhanced disclosures which can be found within Note 11 of these consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03: Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01: Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements of the ASU will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU modernizes and clarifies the threshold for when an entity is required to start capitalizing internal-use software costs, which occurs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding a software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance in this ASU, which can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified transition approach, becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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 agentto 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 wasno 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.

Note 3. Goodwill

The total carrying amount of goodwill was $0 as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively, and was net of accumulated impairments of $133,818.

In fiscal 2024, the Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter. Concurrent with the performance of the annual impairment test, the P180 Acquisition was consummated. As the P180 Acquisition represented a change of control transaction with an unrelated third party, the fair value of the Company’s Vince Wholesale reporting unit was estimated based on the transaction price of the P180 Acquisition. The estimated fair value of the Company implied by the P180 Acquisition was allocated to the Company’s reporting units, Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer, using a market-based approach, considering the relative contributions of each reporting unit to the Company as well as appropriate valuation multiples for each reporting unit relative to the implied P180 Acquisition multiple. The results of the quantitative test determined that the fair value of the Vince Wholesale reporting unit was below its carrying value by an amount greater than its total goodwill balance and as a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31,973 to write-off the goodwill for the Vince Wholesale reporting unit. The charge was recorded within Impairment of goodwill on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

We define the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1—quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2—observable market-based inputs (quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active) or inputs that are corroborated by observable market data
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions and are not substantially supported by market data

The Company didnot have any non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2026 or February 1, 2025. At January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company believes that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value, due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company's debt obligations with a carrying value of $19,462 and$19,156 as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively, are at variable interest rates. Borrowings under the Company's 2023 Revolving Credit Facility are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the frequent nature of such borrowings and repayments. The Company considers this as a Level 2 input. The carrying values of the Company's Third Lien Credit Facility as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025 approximate fair value, due to the variable rates associated with this obligation. The Company considers this a Level 3 input.

The Company's non-financial assets, which primarily consist of operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, property and equipment, and equity method investment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their carrying values. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, non-financial assets are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written down to (and recorded at) fair value. Other than the goodwill impairment charge of $31,973 in fiscal 2024 (see Note 3. Goodwill), there wasno impairment of non-financial assets during fiscal 2025 and 2024.

2023 Revolving Credit Facility

On June 23, 2023, V Opco, entered into a new $85,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "2023 Revolving Credit Facility") pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the "2023 Revolving Credit Agreement") by and among V Opco, the guarantors named therein, Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), as Agent, the other lenders from time to time party thereto, and BofA Securities, Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner. All outstanding amounts under the previous $80,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "2018 Revolving Credit Facility") were repaid in full and such facility was terminated pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of all parties completing their obligations under such facility.

The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility provides for a revolving line of credit of up to the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) and (ii) $85,000, as well as a letter of credit sublimit of $10,000. The 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement also permits V Opco to request an increase in aggregate commitments under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility of up to $15,000, subject to customary terms and conditions. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of June 23, 2028, and 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any Material Indebtedness (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement), including the subordinated indebtedness pursuant to the Third Lien Credit Agreement.

Interest is payable on the loans under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, at Vince LLC's request, either at Term SOFR, the Base Rate, or SOFR Daily Floating Rate, in each case, with applicable margins subject to a pricing grid based on an average daily excess availability calculation. The "Base Rate" means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.5%; (ii) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BofA as its prime rate; (iii) the SOFR Daily Floating Rate on such day, plus 1.0%; and (iv)1.0%. During the continuance of certain specified events of default, at the election of BofA in its capacity as Agent, interest will accrue at a rate of 2.0% in excess of the applicable non-default rate.

The applicable margins for SOFR Term and SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans are: (i)2.0% when the average daily Excess Availability (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) is greater than 66.7% of the Loan Cap (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement); (ii)2.25% when the average daily Excess Availability is greater than or equal to 33.3% but less than or equal to 66.7% of the Loan Cap; and (iii)2.5% when the average daily Excess Availability is less than 33.3% of the Loan Cap. The applicable margins for Base Rate Loans are: (a)1.0% when the average daily Excess Availability is greater than 66.7% of the Loan Cap; (b)1.25% when the average daily Excess Availability is greater than or equal to 33.3% but less than or equal to 66.7% of the Loan Cap; and (c)1.5% when the average daily Excess Availability is less than 33.3% of the Loan Cap. In accordance with the First Amendment, from the First Amendment Effective Date (January 21, 2025) until the first Adjustment Date occurring after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, the applicable margin will be 2.50% with respect to SOFR Term Loans and SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and 1.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans.

The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant requiring Excess Availability at all times to be no less than the greater of (i)10.0% of the Loan Cap in effect at such time and (ii) $7,500.

The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, covenants and events of default that are customary for this type of financing, including limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, burdensome agreements, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, prepayment of certain other debt, the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates, and the ability to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility generally permits dividends in the absence of any default or event of default (including any event of default arising from a contemplated dividend), so long as (i) after giving pro forma effect to the contemplated dividend and on a pro forma basis for the 30-day period immediately preceding such dividend, Excess Availability will be at least the greater of 20.0% of the Loan Cap and $15,000 and (ii) after giving pro forma effect to the contemplated dividend, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) for the 12 months preceding such dividend will be greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0. In accordance with the First Amendment, V Opco shall not make certain Restricted Payments as defined in the Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date that is eighteen (18) month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, which date is July 21, 2026 and (ii) the first date following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date on which the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0.

All obligations under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and Vince Intermediate and any future subsidiaries of the Company (other than Excluded Subsidiaries as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, V Opco and Vince Intermediate and any future subsidiary guarantors, other than among others, equity interests in ABG Vince, as well as the rights of V Opco under the License Agreement.

No financing costs were incurred during fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2024, the Company incurred $466 (of which $458 were incurred in connection with the P180 Acquisition) of financing costs. In accordance with ASC Topic 470, "Debt", these financing costs were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs (which is presented within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) and are amortized over the term of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with applicable covenants. As of January 31, 2026,$40,771 was available under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, net of the Loan Cap, and there were$10,700 of borrowings outstanding and$6,161 of letters of credit outstanding under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility as of January 31, 2026 was 6.3%.

On January 22, 2025, V Opco, LLC entered into that certain First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement. The First Amendment amends the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) consent to the P180 Acquisition (see Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for additional information); (b) provide that, until the first Adjustment Date following January 22, 2026, the applicable margin will be 2.50% with respect to SOFR Term Loans and SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and 1.50% with respect to Base Rate Loans; (c) eliminate the ability to make certain Restricted Payments until the earlier of (i) the date that is eighteen (18) month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, which date is July 21, 2026 and (ii) the first date following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date on which the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0; and (d) until January 22, 2026, modify the thresholds applicable for the Agent’s rights to conduct field exams and inventory appraisals to Excess Availability being less than the greater of 25% of Loan Cap and $18,750 and, following January 24, 2026, such thresholds shall revert back to Excess Availability being less than the greater of 20% of Loan Cap and $15,000.

On March 18, 2026, V Opco entered into the Second Amendment (the "2023 Revolving Credit Facility Second Amendment") to the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility which, among other things, (a) modified the definition of Eligible Trade Receivables in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement to increase concentration limits and (b) expanded the eligibility criteria for Accounts owed by certain customers that may be included in the Borrowing Base.

Third Lien Credit Facility

On December 11, 2020, V Opco entered into a $20,000 subordinated term loan credit facility (the "Third Lien Credit Facility") pursuant to a credit agreement (the "Third Lien Credit Agreement"), as amended from time to time, dated December 11, 2020, by and among V Opco, as the borrower, VHC and Vince Intermediate, as guarantors, and SK Financial Services, LLC ("SK Financial"), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and other lenders from time to time party thereto. The proceeds were received on December 11, 2020 and were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

SK Financial is an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. ("Sun Capital"). The Third Lien Credit Facility was reviewed and approved by the Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, consisting solely of directors not affiliated with Sun Capital, which committee was represented by independent legal advisors. Immediately prior to the P180 Acquisition, the affiliates of Sun Capital owned approximately 67% of the Company's common stock.

Interest on loans under the Third Lien Credit Facility is payable in kind at a rate revised in connection with the Third Lien Third Amendment (as defined and discussed below) to be equal to the Daily Simple SOFR, subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum, plus 9.0%. During the continuance of certain specified events of default, interest may accrue on the loans under the Third Lien Credit Facility at a rate of 2.0% inexcess of the rate otherwise applicable to such amount.

The Company had incurred $485 in deferred financing costs associated with the Third Lien Credit Facility, of which a $400 closing fee is payable in kind and was added to the principal balance. These deferred financing costs were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs. In connection with the debt extinguishment (see below), unamortized debt issuance costs of $179 were included in the calculation of the gain on extinguishment.

All obligations under the Third Lien Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company, Vince Intermediate and the Company's existing material domestic restricted subsidiaries as well as any future material domestic restricted subsidiaries and are secured on a junior basis relative to the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, Vince Intermediate, V Opco and the Company's existing material domestic restricted subsidiaries as well as any future material domestic restricted subsidiaries.

0.10% per annum, plus 9.0% (c)amended the Third Lien Credit Agreement's maturity date to the earlier of (i)March 30, 2025 and (ii) 180 days after the maturity date under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, (d) reduced the capacity to incur indebtedness and liens, make investments, restricted payments and dispositions and repay certain indebtedness and (e) modified certain representations and warranties, covenants and events of default in respect of documentation related to the Asset Sale. The Third Lien Third Amendment became effective upon the consummation of the Asset Sale, the prepayment of the Term Loan Credit Facility in full and other transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

On June 23, 2023, V Opco entered into the Fourth Amendment (the "Third Lien Fourth Amendment") to the Third Lien Credit Agreement which, among other things, (a) extended the Third Lien Credit Agreement's maturity date to the earlier of (i)September 30, 2028 and (ii) 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any Material Indebtedness (as defined therein) other than the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and (b) modified certain representations and warranties, covenants and events of default in respect of documentation conforming to the terms of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 22, 2025, V Opco entered into the Fifth Amendment (the “Third Lien Fifth Amendment”) to the Third Lien Credit Agreement which, among other things, consents to the P180 Acquisition. On the same day, V Opco paid $15,000 to SK Financial Services, LLC using proceeds from the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in a pay-down of $20,000 of the Third Lien Credit Facility (the “Sun Debt Paydown”). In addition, in connection with the P180 Acquisition, P180 acquired and assumed $7,000 of the Third Lien Credit Facility outstanding 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 the Third Lien Credit Facility 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.

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 the transaction, the gain on extinguishment was recorded as a capital contribution within equity.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Cash Obligations

At January 31, 2026, the Company had contractual cash obligations of$126,218 which consisted primarily of Guaranteed Minimum Royalty payments (as described below), inventory purchase obligations and service contracts.

On May 25, 2023, in connection with the Closing, V Opco and ABG Vince entered into 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 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 during the initial term of the License Agreement, except that the guaranteed minimum royalty for the first contract year during the initial term was prorated to the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending at the end of the Company's 2023 fiscal year. See Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for further information.

In addition, see Note 12 "Leases" for a summary of the Company's future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable leases.

Litigation

The Company is a party to legal proceedings, compliance matters, environmental, as well as wage and hour and other labor claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these items, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contingencies

Beginning in 2020, the U.S. government enacted various relief packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which was the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The CARES Act included, among other items, provisions relating to refundable employee retention payroll tax credits. The Company applied for these employee retention tax credits relating to the first and second quarters of 2021. Due to uncertainties regarding approval by the Internal Revenue Service of the Company's eligibility for the credit and the complex nature of the ERC computations, the Company accounts for the ERC by analogy to ASC 450-30, Contingencies - Gain Contingencies. In accordance with ASC 450-30, the ERC is recognized after the related contingency is resolved and deemed realizable, which the Company has determined is upon receipt of payment and completion of any potential audit or examination or the expiration of the related statute of limitations.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company received payments totaling $7,173 from the U.S. Department of the Treasury relating to the ERC for the first and second quarters of 2021, including $1,560 ininterest. As the related statute of limitations expired, the Company recorded the ERC benefit of $5,613 within Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as an offset to compensation expense and recorded $1,560 as Other (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for Fiscal 2025.

The shares available for issuance under the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan may be, in whole or in part, either authorized and unissued shares of the Company's common stock or shares of common stock held in or acquired for the Company's treasury. In general, if awards under the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan are canceled for any reason, or expire or terminate unexercised, the shares covered by such award may again be available for the grant of awards under the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan. As of January 31, 2026, there were 240,462 shares under the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan available for future grants. Options granted pursuant to the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan typically vest in equal installments over four years, subject to the employees' continued employment and expire on the earlier of thetenth anniversary of the grant date or upon termination as outlined in the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan. Restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted vest in equal installments over athree-year period or vest in equal installments over four years, subject to the employees' continued employment. In November 2023, the Vince 2013 Incentive Plan was amended to, among others, extend the plan expiration date to November 2033.

At January 31, 2026, there was$251 of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock units that will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1 year.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

During fiscal 2025, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $426, including expense of $283 related to non-employees, and related tax benefit of $0.

Note 8. Defined Contribution Plan

The Company maintains a defined contribution plan for employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. As of March 8, 2021, all assets from the Rebecca Taylor, Inc. 401(k) Plan were merged into the Vince Holding Corp. 401(k) Plan. Features of these plans allow participants to contribute to a plan a percentage of their annual compensation, subject to IRS limitations. Certain plans also provide for discretionary matching contributions by the Company. The annual expense incurred by the Company for the defined contribution plan was $631 and $518 infiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

Note 9. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The Company currently has authorized for issuance 100,000,000 shares of its voting common stock, par value of $0.01 per share.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company cancelled 700,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company had 12,846,589 and 12,758,852 shares issued and outstanding, respectively. As of January 31, 2026, P180 owned approximately 51% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

At-the-Market Offering

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Virtu Sales Agreement”) with Virtu Americas LLC ("Virtu"), as sales agent and/or principal (the "Virtu At-the-Market Offering") under which the Company was able to sell from time to time through Virtu shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an offering price of up to $7,825, and any shares were to be issued pursuant to the Company's previously filed shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on September 21, 2021 (the “2021 S-3 Registration Statement”). Under the 2021 S-3 Registration Statement, the Company was able to offer and sell up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock from time to time in one or more offerings at prices and terms to be determined at the time of the sale.

Following the expiration of the 2021 S-3 Registration Statement, on September 23, 2024, the Company filed a replacement shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on October 3, 2024 (the "2024 S-3 Registration Statement"). Under the 2024 S-3 Registration Statement, the Company may offer and sell up to $10 million of shares of common stock from time to time in one or more offerings at prices and terms to be determined at the time of the sale. The 2024 S-3 Registration Statement also included a prospectus supplement, whereby the Company may offer and sell from time to time under the Virtu Sales Agreement shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,925.

During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company issued and sold 578,041 shares of common stock under the Virtu At-the-Market Offering for aggregate net proceeds of $2,023 at an average price of $3.57 per share. At January 31, 2026, $861 was available under the Virtu At-the-Market Offering.

Dividends

The Company has not paid dividends, and the Company's current ability to pay such dividends is restricted by the terms of its debt agreements. The Company's future dividend policy will be determined on a yearly basis and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and certain other factors. The Company does not expect to declare dividends with respect to its common stock in the foreseeable future.

Note 10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated under the treasury stock method. In periods when the Company incurs a net loss, share-based awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following is a reconciliation of weighted average basic shares to weighted average diluted shares outstanding:

Fiscal Year
20252024
Weighted-average shares—basic12,978,28412,579,588
Effect of dilutive equity securities97,503—
Weighted-average shares—diluted13,075,78712,579,588

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026,300,280 ofweighted average shares were excluded from the computation of weighted average shares for diluted earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Because the Company incurred a net loss for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, weighted-average basic shares and weighted-average diluted shares outstanding are equal for this period.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following:

Total deferred5(4,282)
Total provision (benefit) for income taxes$2,584$(3,642)

The sources of income (loss) before income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment are from the United States, the Company's subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and the Company's French branch. Substantially all of the Company's pretax income (loss) is in the U.S. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions.

Current income taxes are the amounts payable under the respective tax laws and regulations on each year's earnings. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the tax effects of revenues, costs and expenses, which are recognized for tax purposes in different periods from those used for financial statement purposes.

The provision for income taxes was $2,584 for the year ended January 31, 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.1% compared to 15.6% in fiscal 2024. This increase in the Company's effective rate is primarily due to an increase in state taxes and changes in the valuation allowance, partially offset by nontaxable ERC benefits.

The benefit for income taxes was $3,642 for the year ended February 1, 2025. This benefit was primarily driven by a tax benefit of $3,006 associated with the impairment of goodwill primarily due to the reversal of the non-cash deferred tax liability previously created by the amortization of the Vince goodwill indefinite-lived intangible asset recognized for tax, but not for book purposes, which previously could not be used as a source of income to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company's net operating losses. The tax benefit was also driven by a tax benefit of $1,276 related to the reversal of a portion of the non-cash deferred tax liability related to the Company's equity method investment, which a portion can now be used as a source of income to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company's net operating losses. The tax benefit was offset primarily by the current federal and state tax expense of $611.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law by President Trump. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2026.

In fiscal 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis. A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount computed by applying the 21% statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment after the adoption of ASU 2023-09 is as follows:

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had a gross federal net operating loss of $185,894 (federal tax effected amount of $39,038) that may be used to reduce future federal taxable income. Federal net operating losses of 11,117 that were incurred in tax years that began before January 1, 2018 will expire through 2038. Net operating losses of $174,777 incurred in tax years beginning after January 1, 2018 have an indefinite carryforward period.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had gross state net operating loss carryforward of $164,576 (tax effected amount of $4,961) that may be used to reduce future state taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes expire at varying rates.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“IRC”) subjects the future utilization of net operating losses to an annual limitation in the event of certain ownership changes, as defined. The Company determined that under Section 382, the P180 Acquisition resulted in an ownership change in January 2025. Due to the annual limitation of the Company’s net operating losses, gross federal net operating losses of $232,595 (federal tax effected amount of $48,844) incurred in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 will expire unused prior to becoming available and therefore, the Company recorded an adjustment to write off these net operating losses in fiscal 2024. An additional $3,027 (federal tax effected amount of $636) was written off in fiscal 2025 due to Section 382 limitation. A corresponding adjustment was recorded to release the valuation allowance that was maintained on these net operating losses.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $54,521 as of January 31, 2026, increasing by $1,127 from the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $53,394 as of February 1, 2025. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets except to the extent that the indefinite lived deferred tax assets (related to interest expense and net operating loss carryforwards) offset the future reversal of indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities. Adjustments to the valuation allowance are made when there is a change in management's assessment of the amount of deferred tax assets that are realizable.

As of both January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $0.

The Company includes accrued interest and penalties on underpayments of income taxes in its income tax provision. As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company didnot have any interest and penalties accrued on its Consolidated Balance Sheets andno related provision or benefit was recognized in each of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025.

With limited exceptions, fiscal years January 28, 2023 through January 31, 2026 remain subject to examination. For years prior to fiscal year 2022, adjustments can be made by the taxing authorities only to the extent of the net operating losses carried forward.

Note 12. Leases

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for real estate (primarily retail stores, storage, and office spaces) some of which have initial terms of 10 years, and in many instances can beextended for an additional term, while certain recent leases are subject to shorter terms as a result of the implementation of the strategy to pursue shorter lease terms when evaluating certain markets. The Company will not include renewal options in the underlying lease term unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. Substantially all of the Company's leases require a fixed annual rent, and most require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. These percentage rent expenses are considered as variable lease costs and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when incurred. In addition, the Company's real estate leases may also require additional payments for real estate taxes and other occupancy-related costs which it considers as non-lease components.

ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based upon the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based upon a combination of market-based factors, such as market quoted forward yield curves and company specific factors, such as the Company's credit rating, lease size and duration to calculate the present value. The Company does not have any finance leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our operating leases are 6 years and 7.04% as of January 31, 2026 and 7 years and 7.15% as of February 1, 2025.

Total lease cost is included in SG&A expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and is recorded net of immaterial sublease income. Some leases have a non-cancelable lease term of less than one year and therefore, the Company has elected to exclude these short-term leases from the ROU asset and lease liabilities. Short term lease costs were immaterial for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025. The Company's lease cost is comprised of the following:

In fiscal 2024, the Company entered into a sublease with a third party for the 18th Floor of the Company’s corporate offices in New York, NY, for a period ofthree years with no option to renew. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company treated the sublease as a separate lease, as the Company was not relieved of the primary obligation under the original lease. The Company continues to account for the corporate office lease as a lessee and in the same manner as prior to the commencement date of the sublease. The Company accounted for the sublease as a lessor of the lease. The sublease was classified as an operating lease, as it did not meet the criteria of a sales-type or direct financing lease. As of January 31, 2026, future minimum tenant operating lease payments remaining under this sublease were approximately $1,500, with a remaining sublease term of 1.7 years.

The operating lease payments do not include any renewal options as such leases are not reasonably certain of being renewed as of January 31, 2026. As of January 31, 2026, there wereno leases signed but not yet commenced.

Note 13. Segment and Geographical Financial Information

The Company has identifiedtwo reportable segments based on the information used by its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. Management considered both similar and dissimilar economic characteristics, internal reporting and management structures, as well as products, customers, and supply chain logistics to identify the following reportable segments:

Vince Wholesale segment—consists of the Company's operations to distribute Vince brand products to major department stores and specialty stores in the United States and select international markets;

Vince Direct-to-consumer segment—consists of the Company's operations to distribute Vince brand products directly to the consumer through its Vince branded full-price specialty retail stores, outlet stores, and e-commerce platform.

During fiscal 2024, as a result of the completion of the wind down and sale (see Note 2 "Significant Transactions"), and the determination by the CODM that Parker would not be considered in the Company’s future operating plans, Rebecca Taylor and Parker is no longer an operating segment of the Company. The financial results of the historical Rebecca Taylor and Parker reportable segment are included as an other reconciling item in the table below.

The accounting policies of the Company's reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 1 "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

The Company’s CODM evaluates segment performance based on several factors, including Income before income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment. The CODM uses Income before income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment as the key performance measure of segment profitability because it excludes the impact of certain items that our CODM believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations, including the impact of income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment. The CODM also considers budget-to-actual and period-over-period variances for this performance measure when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. Unallocated corporate expenses are comprised of SG&A expenses attributable to corporate and administrative activities (such as marketing, design, finance, information technology, legal and human resource departments), and other charges, including interest expense, that are not directly attributable to the Company's Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer reportable segments. Unallocated corporate assets are comprised of the carrying values of the Company's equity method investment and other assets that will be utilized to generate revenue for the Company's Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer reportable segments. As the Company’s goodwill was not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments in the measure of segment assets regularly reported to and used by our CODM, the corresponding impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2024 associated with goodwill is not reflected in the fiscal 2024 operating results of the Company’s reportable segments.

See Note 3 "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" and Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for further information.

(3) Activity for the Rebecca Taylor and Parker reconciling item for fiscal 2024 primarily consists of the gain recognized on the sale of Rebecca Taylor. See Note 2 "Significant Transactions" for further information.

  • Cost of Products Sold for fiscal 2025 includes royalty expenses of $10,026 and $4,053 for the Wholesale and Direct-to-consumer segments, respectively. Cost of Products Sold forfiscal 2024 includes royalty expenses of $10,106 and $3,857 for the Wholesale and Direct-to-consumer segments, respectively.

The Company is domiciled in the U.S. and as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, had no significant international subsidiaries and therefore substantially all of the Company's sales originate in the U.S. As a result, net sales by destination are not provided. Additionally, substantially all long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are located in the U.S.

Note 14. Related Party Transactions

The agreement was amended on November 1, 2024. Prior to the P180 Acquisition, CaaStle was an unrelated party to the Company. Due to CaaStle’s relationship with P180, as a result of the P180 Acquisition, CaaStle is considered a related party to the Company as of February 1, 2025. Subsequently, due to organizational changes at CaaStle and P180, CaaStle is no longer considered a related party to the Company.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Second and Third Amended and Restated Bylaws

On January 22, 2025, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s bylaws (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to provide P180, following the P180 Acquisition, with the right to designate (i) a majority of the directors of the Board, (ii) the Chairman of the Board, and (iii) the chairman of each committee of the Board, in each case for so long as P180 continues to beneficially own at least thirty percent (30%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Subsequently, on April 4, 2025, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to remove such rights granted to P180 under the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

U.S Tariff Update

On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs remain highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. presidential administration announced its intention to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from all countries, in addition to any existing non-IEEPA tariffs. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on the Company's business. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate these developments and potential actions available and assess their potential impact on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
