Liz Claiborne, Inc. Closes its Senior Secured Notes Offering

NEW YORK — April 7, 2011 — Liz Claiborne, Inc. (NYSE: LIZ) (the “Company”) today announced that it has completed its offering of $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The previously announced offering of $205.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes was increased to $220.0 million aggregate principal amount on April 5, 2011. The Notes, which mature on April 15, 2019, are senior, secured obligations of the Company and will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 10.50% per annum.

The Company expects that the total net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $214.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering fees and expenses. The Company is using the net proceeds of the offering primarily to fund the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to €155.0 million of its outstanding €350.0 million 5.0% Notes due 2013, of which €128.5 million were tendered by the time the Tender Offer expired. The Tender Offer is expected to settle on April 8, 2011. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The issuance and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of notes or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Among the risks and uncertainties are the following: our ability to continue to have the necessary liquidity, through cash flows from operations, and availability under our amended and restated revolving credit facility may be adversely impacted by a number of factors, including the level of our operating cash flows, our ability to maintain established levels of availability under, and to comply with the financial and other covenants included in, our amended and restated revolving credit facility and the borrowing base requirement in our amended and restated revolving credit facility that limits the amount of borrowings we may make based on a formula of, among other things, eligible accounts receivable and inventory; the minimum availability covenant in our amended and restated revolving credit facility that requires us to maintain availability in excess of an agreed upon level and whether holders of our Convertible Notes issued in June 2009 will, if and when such notes are convertible, elect to convert a substantial portion of such notes, the par value of which we must currently settle in cash; general economic conditions in the United States, Europe and other parts of the world; lower levels of consumer confidence, consumer spending and purchases of discretionary items, including fashion apparel and related products, such as ours; continued restrictions in the credit and capital markets, which would impair our ability to access additional sources of liquidity, if needed; changes in the cost of raw materials, labor, advertising and transportation, including the impact such changes may have on the pricing of our product and the resulting impact on consumer acceptance of our products at higher price points; our dependence on a limited number of large US department store customers, and the risk of consolidations, restructurings, bankruptcies and other ownership changes in the retail industry and financial difficulties at our larger department store customers; our ability to effect a turnaround of our Mexx Europe business; our ability to successfully re-launch our Lucky Brand product offering; our ability to successfully implement our long-term strategic plans; risks associated with the licensing arrangements with J.C.

spending patterns of consumers, including risks related to the importation and exportation of product, tariffs and other trade barriers, to which our international operations are subject; our ability to adapt to and compete effectively in the current quota environment in which general quota has expired on apparel products but political activity seeking to re-impose quota has been initiated or threatened; our exposure to domestic and foreign currency fluctuations; risks associated with material disruptions in our information technology systems; risks associated with privacy breaches; limitations on our ability to utilize all or a portion of our US deferred tax assets if we experience an “ownership change”; the outcome of current and future litigations and other proceedings in which we are involved; and such other factors as are set forth in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 17, 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the section entitled “Item 1A- Risk Factors”.
