On February 22, 2019, a settlement (“Settlement”) gained final approval in a proposed in a class action lawsuit pending in the Ventura County Superior Court (“Court”) titled Press, et al. v. J. Crew Group, Inc., et al. (“Action”).

Plaintiffs Adam Press, Dana Delman, and Caron Coladonato allege that J. Crew Group, Inc.; J. Crew Operating Corp.; J. Crew Inc.; J. Crew International, Inc.; Chinos Holdings, Inc.; Chinos Intermediate Holdings A, Inc.; and Chinos Intermediate Holdings B, Inc. (together, “J. Crew” or “Defendants”) engaged in deceptive advertising by advertising purportedly improper reference prices on merchandise. J. Crew vigorously denied that its advertising practices are deceptive or violate any laws but has agreed to the Settlement to avoid the time and expenses necessary to defend this action. No court has decided which side is right.

The case involved persons who fell into one of the following classes: California Class: All persons who, while in California, and during the period of time beginning December 13, 2012 through the date the Court enters preliminary approval, purchased one (1) or more products at a J.
