Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 18, 2014, dELiA*s, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a private placement Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain of its officers, directors, existing stockholders and other accredited investors (the “Investors”), relating to the sale to such Investors of (i) 199,834 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $19,983,400, and (ii) an aggregate of $24,116,600 in principal amount of the Company’s Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), which Notes, subject to receipt of Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), are mandatorily convertible into 241,166 shares of Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to increase the size of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) by three (3) directors to a total of eight (8) directors. Subject to undergoing background checks, the results of which shall be reasonably and mutually acceptable to Valinor Management LLC (“Valinor”), Flatbush Watermill LLC (“Flatbush”) and the Company, and the execution and delivery to the Company of agreements, questionnaires and other documents the Company customarily requires from new nominees for the Board, the Company agreed to appoint as directors each of Seth A. Cohen and an additional individual designated by Valinor who may not be an employee of Valinor or any of its affiliates and is approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (collectively, the “Valinor Directors”). Subject to the same conditions, the Company agreed to appoint as a director an individual designated by Flatbush (the “Flatbush Director”). Flatbush designated Joshua M. Schwartz as the initial Flatbush Director. Valinor will continue to have the right to nominate two (2) members to the Board for so long as it is permitted to do so under Rule 5640 of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules (“Nasdaq Rule 5640”). Once Valinor’s beneficial ownership (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), decreases to an amount that would only allow it to nominate one director under Nasdaq Rule 5640, it will only have the right to nominate one director and the second Valinor nominee is required to resign from the Board contemporaneously therewith. Likewise, Flatbush will continue to have the right to nominate one member to the Board only for so long as it is permitted do so under Nasdaq Rule 5640. Each of Valinor’s and Flatbush’s right to nominate directors shall cease once the beneficial ownership of Valinor or Flatbush, as the case may be, is less than 5% and their remaining designees on the Board, as the case may be, will be required to resign contemporaneously therewith. At each meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which the election of directors is considered, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board have agreed, subject to certain limitations, to nominate the persons designated by Valinor and Flatbush for election to the Board. Valinor has agreed to vote all eligible shares of common stock of the Company or Preferred Stock it beneficially owns for the election of the Flatbush Director at each meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which the election of the Flatbush Director is to be considered, and Flatbush agreed to vote all eligible shares of common stock of the Company or Preferred Stock it beneficially owns for the election of each Valinor Director at each meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which the election of each Valinor Director is to be considered.

On April 2, 2014, Seth A. Cohen and Joshua M. Schwartz were appointed to the Board. Mr. Cohen was appointed as a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board, and Mr. Schwartz was appointed as the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board and a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.
