Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On September 12, 2013 Destination Maternity Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its plans to relocate its corporate headquarters and distribution center from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to southern New Jersey. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company's corporate office operations (which are currently split between its headquarters at North 5th Street in Philadelphia and its offices in the Philadelphia Navy Yard) will move twelve miles from the current 5th Street headquarters facility to a completely renovated 74,000 square foot Class A office building in Moorestown, New Jersey. The Company expects this move to occur in Fall 2014.

The Company's distribution operations (which are currently split between its main distribution center at North 5th Street in Philadelphia and its distribution facility in the Philadelphia Navy Yard) will move approximately 23 miles from the current 5th Street distribution center to a new state-of-the-art 400,000 square foot build-to-suit distribution center to be built in Florence Township, New Jersey. The Company expects this move to occur in early 2015.

To help the Company offset the costs of its new headquarters and distribution center facilities, the Company also announced that, on September 12, 2013, the Board of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority approved the Company for an incentive package of $40 million in benefits, over a 10-year period, from the State of New Jersey under the Grow New Jersey Assistance Program.

The disclosure in this Current Report, including in the Exhibit attached hereto, of any information shall not constitute an admission that such information is material.
