FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vince Holding Corp. Provides Update on Full Year Outlook

NEW YORK, New York – January 9, 2017 – Vince Holding Corp. (NYSE: VNCE), a leading global luxury apparel and accessories brand (“Vince” or the “Company”), today announced that sales and EPS results for the full year are now expected to come in at or below the low end of the Company’s previously stated guidance as of December 8, 2016, due to an anticipated shift in the timing of a larger than planned portion of the Spring collection shipments from late January to early February, as well as softer than expected sales performance during the holiday season.

Brendan Hoffman, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite a solid Black Friday week and improved trends towards the end of December, sales for the holiday season were softer than we anticipated. That said, for the holiday season, while direct-to-consumer segment sales results were near the low end of our guidance range, they were better than sell-through performance in the wholesale segment. Overall, we continue to gain valuable insights from our retail team and wholesale partners. We are also encouraged by the favorable response to our return to the style and quality that was the cornerstone of the Vince brand at its inception. We remain committed to driving market share gains within the wholesale channel, expanding our direct-to-consumer business and growing our international presence over the long-term.”

As previously announced, the Company will be hosting a fireside chat at the 19th Annual ICR Conference on Tuesday, January 10, 2017, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The audio portion of the presentation will be webcast live on the investor relations section of the Company’s website, http://investors.vince.com/.
