Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
On July 6, 2026, The
Children’s Place, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that, effective July 6, 2026, Kim Roy would no longer serve
in her position as Executive Director and employee of the Company, but will remain as a member of the Company’s board of directors
(the “Board”). Ms. Roy’s departure from her role as Executive Director was not the result of any disagreement with
the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
The Company and Ms. Roy
are currently negotiating the terms and conditions of an agreement relating to the departure from her executive employment role and the
continuation of her service as a member of the Board (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement has not yet been
finalized. Upon execution, the Separation Agreement will be disclosed in an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on
Form 8-K contains or may contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “plan,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“believe” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. These forward-looking statements
are based upon the Company’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results and performance to differ materially. Some of these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of
its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Included among the risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results and performance to differ materially are the risk that the Company will be unable to achieve operating results at
levels sufficient to fund and/or finance the Company’s current level of operations and repayment of indebtedness, the risk that
changes in trade policy and tariff regimes, including newly imposed U.S. tariffs and any responsive non-U.S. tariffs, may impact the Company’s
international manufacturing and operations or customers’ discretionary spending habits, the risk that the Company will be unsuccessful
in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences, the risks resulting from the highly competitive nature of the Company’s
business and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by changes in economic conditions (including inflation),
the risk that changes in the Company’s plans and strategies with respect to pricing, capital allocation, capital structure, investor
communications and/or operations may have a negative effect on the Company’s business, the risk that the Company’s strategic
initiatives to increase sales and margin, improve operational efficiencies, enhance operating controls, decentralize operational authority
and reshape the Company’s culture are delayed or do not result in anticipated improvements, the risk of delays, interruptions, disruptions
and higher costs in the Company’s global supply chain, including resulting from disease outbreaks, foreign sources of supply in
less developed countries, more politically unstable countries, or countries where vendors fail to comply with industry standards or ethical
business practices, including the use of forced, indentured or child labor, the risk that the cost of raw materials or energy prices will
increase beyond current expectations or that the Company is unable to offset cost increases through value engineering or price increases,
various types of litigation, including class action litigation brought under securities, consumer protection, employment, and privacy
and information security laws and regulations, risks related to the existence of a controlling stockholder, and the uncertainty of weather
patterns, as well as other risks discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. The Company undertakes no obligation
to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
