Introductory Note About the Company

Vince Holding Corp., formerly known as Apparel Holding Corp. and Kellwood Holding Corp., was incorporated in Delaware in February 2008 in connection with the acquisition of Kellwood Company, LLC ("Kellwood Company") by affiliates of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun Capital”). We completed an initial public offering of our common stock on November 27, 2013 (the “IPO”). On April 21, 2023, V Opco, LLC, the Company's wholly owned indirect subsidiary, entered into an Intellectual Property Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among V Opco, LLC, ABG-Vince LLC ("ABG Vince"), a newly formed indirect subsidiary of Authentic Brands Group, LLC, the Company and ABG Intermediate Holdings 2 LLC, whereby V Opco, LLC sold its intellectual property assets related to the business operated under the VINCE brand (the “Licensed Property”) to ABG Vince at closing (the "Asset Sale"). The Company closed the Asset Sale on May 25, 2023. On May 25, 2023, in connection with the Asset Sale, V Opco, LLC entered into a License Agreement with ABG Vince, which provides V Opco, LLC 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).

On January 22, 2025, P180 Vince Acquisition Co. ("P180") acquired a majority stake in the Company from Sun Capital (the "P180 Acquisition").

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. For the purposes of this Proxy Statement, “fiscal 2024” refers to our fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 and “fiscal 2025” refers to our fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.
