Woonsocket, RI —January 16, 2014 — Summer Infant, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUMR), a global leader in premium juvenile products, today announced that, effective February 1, 2014, Carol Bramson, 49, will become the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and President, replacing Jason Macari, who has been the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since 2007.  Bramson, a current board member, will lead the Company as it focuses on growing revenues and establishing a track record of sustainable profitability.  Macari will continue as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and will serve as a consultant to the Company.

In addition, the Company announced that Ken Price, 51, has joined Summer Infant as President of Global Sales & Marketing reporting to the CEO. Price will oversee the sales and marketing of Summer Infant’s product lines, manage the sales and marketing staff, and assist in the preparation of sales projections and operating budgets.

“Together, Carol and Ken provide Summer Infant with the skills and experience necessary to take the Company to the next level,” said Dan Almagor, Chairman of the Board. “Carol has the strategic vision, management expertise and financial acumen to lead the Company at this critical time.  She will work closely with Ken as he executes on our ongoing growth initiatives, including strengthening our relationships with multinational retailers as well as growing our small- and mid-sized specialty and alternative channel customer base. Ken’s use of innovation to lead sales teams within the juvenile and toy industry and the strong relationships he has created with both large and small multi-national retailers will be assets to Summer Infant.”

“Summer Infant has long been known for being at the vanguard of innovation in the juvenile products market,” said Bramson.  “I plan to work closely with Ken and the entire Summer Infant management team, as well as its dedicated employees, to capitalize on our Company’s strengths to build long-term shareholder value.  During my time on the Board of Directors I have had the opportunity to work directly with the management team, and I look forward to collectively rolling up our sleeves to accomplish our goals for the Company.”

Almagor added, “As we welcome Carol and Ken to the executive team, we would like to thank Jason for his commitment and dedication to Summer Infant. We plan to leverage his deep experience with Summer Infant as he continues on the Board and as a consultant to the Company.”  Macari said, “I look

forward to continuing to serve on the Board of Directors and to work with Carol and the senior management team as we strive to build the value of Summer Infant for our shareholders and meet the needs of our customers and consumers.”

Outlook

Summer Infant also announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 and expectations for the first quarter of 2014.

The Company expects to report sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 of approximately $45.0 million and a net loss in the range of $1.5 to $2.0 million. Summer Infant’s year-end audit is not complete and preliminary results are subject to adjustments from the financial audit.  Expected results reflect slower-than-anticipated sales with a major retailer, product shipment delays and the planned exiting of two major licensing agreements.  Summer Infant expects sales for the first quarter of 2014 to be approximately flat with the fourth quarter of 2013.  Reflecting progress with the Company’s restructuring and cost reduction efforts, Summer Infant expects to report an improvement in its bottom-line performance for the first quarter of 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Company plans to report fourth-quarter and year-end 2013 results the week of March 10, 2014.
