HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL PROVIDED PURSUANT TO OvervLENiDeER NwDA Illustrative Real Estate Rationalization 2 Fleet Rationalization ✓ Closure targets outlined for illustrative purposes; ultimate number of store closures will depend on landlord willingness to provide acceptable concessions ✓ ✓ Reduce non-A mall / outlet exposure – repositioned fleet to be focused on strip / lifestyle centers Exit Canada, Puerto Rico and Hawaii stores Rent Re-Negotiation ✓ ✓ Hired A&G to engage in rent negotiations Preliminary analysis assumes successful rent reductions at ~15% of stores which results in ~$18.5MM of rent savings 5

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL PROVIDED PURSUANT TO LENDER NDA Go-Forward Store Framework 2 Rationalization Mechanics Used the following approach with the Core Brands to close additional stores to optimize the store footprint: ▪ The stores that have been included in the go forward plan generally meet the following criteria 1) Minimum 4-Wall EBITDA of greater than 20% after assuming a blended comp decline approach year 1 and mid-single digit declines thereafter 2) Strategic Stores (to protect a market) majority of which have EBITDA >10% Additionally, lease life was considered (the go forward average is just under 2 years) ▪ Estimated Go-Forward Operating Results Rent Reduction Estimate EBITDA (with RR) EBITDA % Margin (1) ($ MM) Total Sales Adj.

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL PROVIDED PURSUANT TO LENDER NDA Overview of Consolidated Financials ▪ Our previous business plan was abruptly disrupted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Management, with the Board’s oversight, reassessed the go forward business in light of the expected significant shift in consumer behavior that would result from the pandemic, including: – Greater preference to shop digitally (on-line ship to home and pick-up in store) – Larger declines in store traffic – Reduced number of retail stores, especially in enclosed malls ▪ The Strategic Plan is built on three Core Brands – LOFT, Ann Taylor and Lane Bryant – For this plan Justice and Catherines are considered non-core brands ▪ The consolidated financials roll up the core brand-level forecasts and incorporate certain corporate cost assumptions ▪ FY 2020 total sales comp is now projected to decline by ~36% primarily driven by stores being closed for several months, offset by a modestly positive e-commerce comp of ~5% ▪ FY 2021 and FY 2022 sales comps are distorted due to store closures and recovery of customer traffic post re-opening – Expected margin compression throughout FY2021 related to an expected heavily promotional environment results in negative EBITDA of ~$230 million with a subsequent return to margin normalization and the full run-rate impact of initiatives, related to certain corporate cost reductions, leads to ~$270 million of positive EBITDA ▪ With the decision to explore a Chapter 11 process, the Company will be able to more efficiently optimize its cost structure and store fleet with significant planned store closures which drives meaningful occupancy and store savings ▪ Beginning in FY 2023 and throughout the rest of the forecast period, total comps are projected to be positive, driven by continued growth in e-commerce penetration, offsetting negative but improving store comps as recent trends in traffic moderate going forward – Increase in marketing spend to ~6% of sales is expected to support and enhance topline growth trajectory across core brands and channels – Continued investments in IT to drive customer analytics and personalization 8
