Procedures for Transfers of and Declarations of

Worthlessness With Respect to Common Stock

Procedures for Transfers of and Declarations of

Worthlessness with Respect to Common Stock

The following procedures apply to transfers of Destination Maternity Corporation’s common stock or any Beneficial Ownership (as defined below) therein (any such record or Beneficial Ownership of common stock, the “Common Stock”):

Any entity (as defined in section 101(15) of the Bankruptcy Code) that currently is or becomes a Substantial Shareholder must, file with the Court, and serve upon: (i) the Debtors, Destination Maternity Corporation, 232 Strawbridge Drive, Moorestown, New Jersey 08057, Attn: Dave Helkey; (ii) proposed counsel to the Debtors, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Christopher T. Greco, Rebecca Blake Chaikin, and Allyson Smith Weinhouse; (iii) proposedco-counsel to the Debtors, Landis Rath & Cobb LLP, 919 Market Street, Suite 1800, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, Attn: Adam G. Landis, Kerri K. Mumford, and Jennifer L. Cree; (iv) the Office of The United States Trustee, 844 King Street, Suite 2207, Lockbox 35, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, Attn: Timothy J. Fox; (v) counsel to the administrative agent and lender under the Debtors’ prepetition revolving credit facility and lender under the Debtors’ prepetition term loan facility, Otterbourg P.C., 230 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10169, Attn: Daniel F. Fiorillo, Valerie Mason, and Chad Simon; (vi) counsel to the administrative agent and lender under the Debtors’ prepetition term loan facility, Riemer & Braunstein LLP, Times Square Tower, Suite 2506, Seven Times Square, New York, New York 10036, Attn: Steven Fox; (vii) counsel to any statutory committee appointed in these chapter 11 cases; (hh) the Internal Revenue Service; and (viii) all registered holders of Common Stock (collectively, the “Notice Parties”), a declaration of such status, substantially in the form ofExhibit 1A attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Status as a Substantial Shareholder”); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the other procedures set forth herein shall apply to a Substantial Shareholder even if no Declaration of Status as a Substantial Shareholder has been filed.

Prior to effectuating any transfer of Common Stock that would (i) result in an increase in the amount of Common Stock of which a Substantial Shareholder has Beneficial Ownership, or (ii) result in an entity or individual becoming a Substantial Shareholder, such Substantial Shareholder or potential Substantial Shareholder must file with the Court and serve upon the Notice Parties an advance written declaration of the intended transfer of Common Stock, substantially in the form ofExhibit 1B attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Intent to Accumulate Common Stock”).

Prior to effectuating any transfer of Common Stock that would (i) result in a decrease in the amount of Common Stock of which a Substantial Shareholder has Beneficial Ownership, or (ii) result in an entity or individual ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder (as to either Common Stock), such Substantial Shareholder must file with the Court and serve upon the Notice Parties an advance written declaration of the intended transfer of Common Stock, substantially in the form ofExhibit 1C attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Intent to Transfer Common Stock,” and together with a Declaration of Intent to Accumulate Common Stock, a “Declaration of Proposed Transfer”).

The Debtors shall have 14 calendar days after receipt of a Declaration of Proposed Transfer to file with the Court and serve on such Substantial Shareholder or potential Substantial Shareholder an objection to any proposed transfer of Common Stock described in the Declaration of Proposed Transfer on the grounds that such transfer might adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to utilize their federal net operating losses (together with certain other tax attributes, the “Tax Attributes”). If the Debtors timely file an objection, such transaction will remain ineffective unless the Debtors withdraw such objection or such transaction is approved by a final andnon-appealable order of the Court. If the Debtors do not object within such14-day period, such transaction can proceed solely as set forth in the Declaration of Proposed Transfer. To the extent the Debtors receive an appropriate Declaration of Proposed Transfer and determine in their business judgment not to object, they shall provide five (5) business days’ notice of that decision to counsel to any statutory committee(s) appointed in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. Further transactions within the scope of this paragraph are the subject of additional notices in accordance with these Procedures, with an additional14-day waiting period for each Declaration of Proposed Transfer.

For purposes of these Procedures: (i) a “Substantial Shareholder” is any entity or individual that has Beneficial Ownership of at least 640,133 shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 4.5 percent of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock);¹ (ii) “Beneficial Ownership” will be determined in accordance with the applicable rules of section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26 U.S.C. §§ 1–9834 as amended (the “IRC”), and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (other than Treasury RegulationsSection 1.382-2T(h)(2)(i)(A)) and includes direct, indirect, and constructive ownership (e.g., (1) a holding company would be considered to beneficially own all equity securities owned by its subsidiaries, (2) a partner in a partnership would be considered to beneficially own its proportionate share of any equity securities owned by such partnership, (3) an individual and such individual’s family members may be treated as one individual, (4) persons and entities acting in concert to make a coordinated acquisition of equity securities may be treated as a single entity, and (5) a holder would be considered to beneficially own equity securities that such holder has an Option to acquire). An “Option” to acquire stock includes all interests described in Treasury RegulationsSection 1.382-4(d)(9), including any contingent purchase right, warrant, convertible debt, put, call, stock subject to risk of forfeiture, contract to acquire stock, or similar interest, regardless of whether it is contingent or otherwise not currently exercisable.

The following procedures apply to declarations of worthlessness of Common Stock:

Any person or entity that currently is or becomes a50-Percent Shareholder must file with the Court and serve upon the Notice Parties a declaration of such status, substantially in the form ofExhibit 1D attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Status as a50-Percent Shareholder”), on or before the later of (i) 30 calendar days after the date of the Notice of Interim Order, and (ii) ten calendar days after becoming a50-Percent Shareholder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the other procedures set forth herein shall apply to a50-Percent Shareholder even if no Declaration of Status as a50-Percent Shareholder has been filed.

Prior to filing any federal or state tax return, or any amendment to such a return, or taking any other action that claims any deduction for worthlessness of Common Stock for a tax year ending before the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 protection, such50-Percent Shareholder must file with the Court and serve upon the Notice Parties an advance written declaration substantially in the form ofExhibit 1E attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction”) of the intended claim of worthlessness.

The Debtors will have 14 calendar days after receipt of a Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction to file with the Court and serve on such50-Percent Shareholder an objection to any proposed claim of worthlessness described in the Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction on the ground that such claim might adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to utilize the Tax Attributes. If the Debtors timely file an objection, the filing of the return or amendment with such claim remains ineffective pending a final ruling on the objection (and thereafter in accordance with the ruling and applicable appellate rules and procedures), and the50-Percent Shareholder shall be required to file an amended tax return revoking such proposed deduction. If the Debtors do not object within such14-day period, the filing of the return or amendment with such claim will be permitted as set forth in the Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction. To the extent that the Debtors receive an appropriate Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction and determine in their business judgment not to object, they shall provide five (5) business days’ notice of that decision to counsel to any statutory committee(s) appointed in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. Additional returns or amendments within the scope of this paragraph are the subject of additional notices in accordance with these Procedures as set forth herein, with an additional14-day waiting period for each Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction.

For purposes of these procedures a “50-Percent Shareholder” is any person or entity that at any time since December 31, 2015 has owned 50 percent or more of the Common Stock (determined in accordance with section 382(g)(4)(D) of the IRC and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder).
