About Naked Brand Group Inc.:
Naked was founded on one basic desire–to create a new standard for how products worn close to the skin fit, feel, and function. Naked’s women’s and men’s collections are available at www.wearnaked.com, and Naked has a growing retail footprint for its innovative and luxurious innerwear products in some of the leading online and department stores in North America including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Dillard’s, Soma, Saks Fifth Avenue, Amazon.com, BareNecessities.com, and more. In 2014, renowned designer and sleepwear pioneer Carole Hochman joined Naked as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Creative Officer, and Chairwoman with the goal of growing Naked into a global lifestyle brand. In June 2015, Naked announced a strategic partnership with NBA Miami HEAT (now Chicago Bulls) star Dwyane Wade. The 3-time NBA Champion, 11-time All Star, and Olympic Gold Medalist joined Naked’s Advisory Board, and is the Creative Director for a signature collection of men’s innerwear which launched in 2016. Naked is headquartered in New York City and plans to expand in the future into other apparel and product categories that can exemplify the mission of the brand, such as activewear, swimwear, sportswear and more. http://www.nakedbrands.com/

Further, those portions of the previously announced LOI, as amended, that described the proposed Business Combination, including the consideration to be issued therein, is non-binding. Assuming Naked and Bendon enter into the Definitive Agreement, the parties will look to seek shareholder approval from Naked’s shareholders. In connection therewith, Naked intends to file relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a definitive proxy statement. Such documents are not currently available. Before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the Business Combination, investors and security holders of Naked are urged to read the definitive proxy statement and the other relevant materials filed or to be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about Naked, Bendon and the proposed Business Combination.
