Procedures for Transfers of and Declarations of
Worthlessness with Respect to Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock

PROCEDURES FOR TRANSFERS OF AND DECLARATIONS

OF WORTHLESSNESS WITH RESPECT TO COMMON STOCK

The following procedures apply to transfers of Common Stock:¹

Any person or entity (as defined in section 101(15) of the Bankruptcy Code) who currently is or becomes a Substantial Shareholder (as defined herein) must file with the Court, and serve upon: (i) the Debtors, 6100 Stevenson Boulevard, Fremont, California 94538, Attn: A. Alexander Rhodes; (ii) proposed counsel to the Debtors, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Joshua A. Sussberg, P.C. and Aparna Yenamandra; (iii) proposed co-counsel to the Debtors, Jackson Walker LLP, 1401 McKinney Street, Suite 1900, Houston, Texas 77010, Attn: Matthew D. Cavenaugh and Victoria Argeroplos; (iv) the United States Trustee for the Southern District of Texas, 515 Rusk Street, Suite 3516, Houston, Texas 77002, Attn: Hector Duran and Stephen Statham; (v) counsel to any statutory committee appointed in these chapter 11 cases; (vi) counsel to the Prepetition ABL Agent and the DIP Agent, (a) Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attn: Matthew F. Furlong, Julia Frost-Davies and Christopher L. Carter, and (b) Winstead PC, 600 Travis Street, Suite 5200, Houston, Texas 77002, Attn: Sean Davis; (vii) counsel to term lenders under the Debtors’ prepetition term loan facility, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York, 10166, Attn: Scott J. Greenberg and Jeremy D. Evans; (viii) counsel to the indenture trustee for The Men’s Wearhouse,Inc. 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022, Emmet, Marvin & Martin, LLP, 120 Broadway, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 1027 1, Attn: Elizabeth M. Clark; and (ix) to the extent not listed herein, those parties requesting notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 20002 (collectively, the “Notice Parties”), a declaration of such status, substantially in the form of Annex 1A attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Status as a Substantial Shareholder”), on or before the later of (A) twenty calendar days after the date of the Notice of Interim Order (as defined herein), or (B) ten calendar days after becoming a Substantial Shareholder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the other procedures set forth herein shall apply to any Substantial Shareholder even if no Declaration of Status as a Substantial Shareholder has been filed.

Prior to effectuating any transfer of Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock that would result in an increase in the amount of Common Stock of which a Substantial Shareholder has Beneficial Ownership or would result in an entity or individual becoming a Substantial Shareholder, the parties to such transaction 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 of Annex 1B attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Intent to Accumulate Common Stock”).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Motion.

Prior to effectuating any transfer of Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock that would result in a decrease in the amount of Common Stock of which a Substantial Shareholder has Beneficial Ownership or would result in an entity or individual ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder, the parties to such transaction 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 of Annex 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, each a “Declaration of Proposed Transfer”).

The Debtors shall have twenty 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 Beneficial Ownership 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 Tax Attributes. If the Debtors timely file an objection, such transaction will remain ineffective unless such objection is withdrawn by the Debtors or such transaction is approved by a final and non-appealable order of the Court. If the Debtors do not object within such 20-day period, such transaction can proceed solely as set forth in the Declaration of Proposed Transfer. Further transactions within the scope of this paragraph must be the subject of additional notices in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, with an additional 20-day waiting period for each Declaration of Proposed Transfer.

For purposes of these Procedures a “Substantial Shareholder” is any entity or individual that has direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership of at least 2,200,494 shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 4.5 percent of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock).²

Procedures for Declarations of Worthlessness of Common Stock

Any person or entity that currently is or becomes a 50-Percent Shareholder³ must file with the Court and serve upon the Notice Parties a declaration of such status as a 50-Percent Shareholder, substantially in the form attached to these Procedures as Annex 1D (each, a “Declaration of Status as a 50-Percent Shareholder”), on or before the later of (i) twenty calendar days after the date of the Notice of Interim Order, and (ii) ten calendar days after becoming a 50-Percent Shareholder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the other procedures set forth herein shall apply to any 50-Percent Shareholder even if no Declaration of Status as a 50-Percent Shareholder has been filed.

Based on approximately 48,899,867 shares of Common Stock outstanding for purposes of section 382 of the IRC as of the Petition Date.

For purposes of the Procedures, a “50-Percent Shareholder” is any person or entity that at any time since December 31, 2016, has owned Beneficial Ownership of 50 percent or more of the Common Stock of the Debtors (determined in accordance with section 382(g)(4)(D) of the IRC and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder).

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 Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock for a taxable year ending before the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 protection, such 50-Percent Shareholder must file with the Court and serve upon the Notice Parties a declaration of intent to claim a worthless stock deduction (a “Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction”), substantially in the form attached to the Procedures as Annex 1E.

The Debtors shall have twenty calendar days after receipt of a Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction to file with the Court and serve on such 50-Percent Shareholder an objection to any proposed claim of worthlessness described in the Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction on the grounds that such claim might adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to utilize their Tax Attributes.

ii.

If the Debtors timely object, the filing of the tax return or amendment thereto with such claim will not be permitted unless approved by a final and non-appealable order of the Court, unless the Debtors withdraw such objection.

iii.

If the Debtors do not object within such 20-day period, the filing of the return or amendment with such claim will be permitted solely as described in the Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction. Additional returns and amendments within the scope of this section must be the subject of additional notices as set forth herein, with an additional 20-day waiting period. 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 notice of that decision as soon as is reasonably practicable to any statutory committee(s) appointed in these chapter 11 cases.

Notice Procedures

No later than two business days following entry of the Interim Order, the Debtors shall serve a notice by first class mail, substantially in the form of Annex 1F attached to these Procedures (the “Notice of Interim Order”), on: (i) the United States Trustee for the Southern District of Texas; (ii) the holders of the 30 largest unsecured claims against the Debtors (on a consolidated basis); (iii) the Internal Revenue Service; (iv) the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; (v) the Prepetition ABL Agent and the DIP Agent; (vii) any official committees appointed in these chapter 11 cases; (vii) the Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Texas; (viii) the state attorneys general for states in which the Debtors conduct business; (ix) the registered and nominee holders of the Common Stock (with instructions to serve down to the beneficial holders of Common Stock, as applicable); (x) known beneficial holders of common stock; (xi) any other parties served with notice of the motion; and (xii) any party who has entered a notice of appearance in this case. Additionally, no later than two business days following entry of the Final Order, the Debtors shall serve a Notice of Interim Order modified to reflect that the Final Order has been entered (as modified, the “Notice of Final Order”) on the same entities that received the Notice of Interim Order.

All registered and nominee holders of Common Stock shall be required to serve the Notice of Interim Order or Notice of Final Order, as applicable, on any holder for whose benefit such registered or nominee holder holds such Common Stock down the chain of ownership for all such holders of Common Stock.

Any entity, individual or broker or agent acting on such entity’s or individual’s behalf who sells Common Stock to another entity shall be required to serve a copy of the Notice of Interim Order or Notice of Final Order, as applicable, on such purchaser of such Common Stock, or any broker or agent acting on such purchaser’s behalf.

As soon as is practicable following entry of the Interim Order, the Debtors shall (i) submit a copy of the Notice of Interim Order (modified for publication) for publication in The New York Times (national edition);

(ii)

file a Form 8-K with a reference to the entry of the Interim Order; and

(iii)

post the notice of the website for Debtors’ noticing agent, http://cases.primeclerk.com/TailoredBrands.

To the extent confidential information is required in any declaration described in these Procedures, such confidential information may be filed and served in redacted form; provided that any such declarations served on the Debtors shall not be in redacted form. The Debtors shall keep all information provided in such declarations strictly confidential and shall not disclose the contents thereof to any person except (i) to the extent necessary to respond to a petition or objection filed with the Court; (ii) to the extent otherwise required by law; or (iii) to the extent that the information contained therein is already public; provided that the Debtors may disclose the contents thereof to their professional advisors, who shall keep all such notices strictly confidential and shall not disclose the contents thereof to any other person, subject to further Court order. To the extent confidential information is necessary to respond to a petitioner objection filed with the Court, such confidential information shall be filed under seal or in a redacted form.
