On October 29, 2012, PVH Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PVH”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with The Warnaco Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Warnaco”), and Wand Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Warnaco, with Warnaco continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH (the “Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Warnaco (other than shares held by Warnaco, PVH, Merger Sub, their respective subsidiaries, and holders who properly exercise dissenters’ rights), will be converted into the right to receive (1) $51.75 in cash and (2) 0.1822 of a share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of PVH (“PVH Common Stock”) (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). Warnaco stock options and other time-based equity awards will convert upon completion of the Merger into stock options to acquire PVH Common Stock and equity awards of or relating to PVH Common Stock (in each case, based on the stock exchange ratio and a formula which converts the cash portion of the Merger Consideration into PVH stock options or equity awards, as applicable) and Warnaco performance-based equity awards will vest upon completion of the Merger based on actual performance (for completed performance periods) or target performance (for performance periods that have not been completed) and convert into the right to receive Merger Consideration in respect of the vested number of shares or units.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, approval of the stockholders of Warnaco, governmental filings and regulatory approvals and expiration of applicable waiting periods, accuracy of specified representations and warranties of the other party, and material compliance by the other party with its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflecting the Merger are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The audited consolidated financial statements of Warnaco as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, as included in Item 8 of Part II of Warnaco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Warnaco Annual Report”), as well as the accompanying notes and schedule included in Item 15. “Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” of the Warnaco Annual Report, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2012, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Warnaco for the three months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively, and the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively, as included in Item 1 of Part I of Warnaco’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2012, as filed with the SEC on November 6, 2012, are incorporated by reference into this Current Report.

This Current Report is also being filed to reflect the retrospective application of a new accounting pronouncement with respect to the financial information contained in the Warnaco Annual Report. On January 1, 2012, Warnaco adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2011-05”). The implementation of this update did not cause any material changes to Warnaco’s consolidated financial statements, other than the presentation of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Warnaco’s consolidated comprehensive income statement for the years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010 are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Current Report (including the Exhibits hereto) contains forward-looking statements and information about PVH’s current and future prospects and PVH’s operations and financial results, which are based on currently available information. Actual future results and financial performance could vary significantly from those anticipated in such statements. The forward looking statements include assumptions about PVH’s operations, and the Merger (including its benefits, results, effects and timing) that may not be realized. Risks and uncertainties related to the Merger include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the conditions to the closing of the Merger are not satisfied (including a failure of the stockholders of Warnaco to approve the Merger and the risk that regulatory approvals required for the Merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated); (ii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger; (iii) uncertainties as to the timing of the Merger; (iv) competitive responses to the Merger; (v) costs and difficulties related to the integration of Warnaco’s businesses and operations with PVH’s business and operations; (vi) the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, cost savings and synergies from the Merger; (vii) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Merger; (viii) litigation relating to the Merger; (ix) the inability to retain key personnel; and (x) any changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions.

Additional factors that could cause future results or events to differ from those we expect are those risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in PVH’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2012, the Warnaco Annual Report and other reports filed by each of PVH and Warnaco with the SEC. As a result of these risks and others, actual results could vary significantly from those anticipated in this Current Report, and PVH’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

PVH undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, the occurrence of certain events or otherwise.
