These include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated completion, timing and effects of the proposed merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) entered into between the Company, Nina Footwear Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Nina Footwear”), and Kidpik Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Kidpik (“Merger Sub”), projections and estimates of Kidpik’s corporate strategies, future operations and plans, including the costs thereof; and other statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected.

These reports are available at www.sec.gov and on Kidpik’s website at https://investor.kidpik.com/sec-filings. Kidpik cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Kidpik or any person acting on behalf of Kidpik are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above.

If they update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that they will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed Merger, Kidpik intends to file a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”), that will be distributed to holders of Kidpik’s common stock in connection with its solicitation of proxies for the vote by Kidpik’s stockholders with respect to the proposed Merger and other matters as may be described in the Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement, when it is filed and mailed to stockholders, will contain important information about the proposed Merger and the other matters to be voted upon at a meeting of Kidpik’s stockholders to be held to approve the proposed Merger and other matters (the “Merger Meeting”). Kidpik may also file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed Merger. Kidpik stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the Proxy Statement, as well as any amendments or supplements thereto, because they will contain important information about the proposed Merger. When available, the definitive Proxy Statement will be mailed to Kidpik stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed Merger and the other matters to be voted upon at the Merger Meeting.

Kidpik’s stockholders may obtain copies of the aforementioned documents and other documents filed by Kidpik with the SEC, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, on Kidpik’s website at https://investor.kidpik.com/sec-filings or, alternatively, by directing a request by mail, email or telephone to Kidpik at 200 Park Avenue South, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10003; ir@kidpik.com; or (212) 399-2323, respectively.

Information regarding the persons who may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Kidpik’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger will be contained in the Proxy Statement relating to the proposed Merger, when available, which will be filed with the SEC. Additionally, information about Kidpik’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of Kidpik is available in Kidpik’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2024 (the “Amended Form 10-K”) .
