9.4	The Seller shall procure that:

(a)	all books of account, records, documents and information (other than the Books and Records) of any Target Group Company (in whatever form) relating to the period before Completion that are retained by the Seller Group, if any (being the Retained Information) are preserved for six years from the Completion Date; and

9.5

The Seller shall (and shall procure that its authorised representatives shall) not disclose any Confidential Information of the Target Group Company which may be obtained from any such inspection of the Books and Records (save where such disclosure is required to be made by law or by the rules of any stock exchange or any Governmental or Regulatory Body or court of competent jurisdiction to which the Seller’s Group is subject).

9.6	The Seller hereby declares that for so long as it or the Designated Seller (as the case may be) remains the registered holder of any of the Sale Shares after Completion it will (or will procure that the Designated Seller shall):

3.2	For the purposes of paragraph 3.1, the amount of all costs and expenses of the Buyer’s Group (together with any irrecoverable VAT thereon) in bringing any Relevant Claim shall be excluded from the sums set out in paragraph 3.1.

(b)	paragraph 1.2 shall be amended in relation to such Relevant Claim so as to require legal proceedings to be commenced within nine months of the date on which such liability ceases to be contingent or becomes capable of being quantified, as the case may be.

(a)	Derived from our consolidated statement of operations included in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2014.

(b)	Represents the respective historical individual line items of the Discontinued Operations’ statements of operations, except as otherwise noted.

(c)	Represents SG&A of the Discontinued Operations, but excludes approximately $1.6 million in fiscal 2014 of corporate overhead and service costs that had previously been recognized in the Discontinued Operations. Such corporate overhead and service costs may not be eliminated as a result of the transaction, and therefore remain in continuing operations.

(d)

Represents the sum of (1) interest expense that would not have been incurred had the disposal of the Discontinued Operations occurred as of February 2, 2014 ($1.3 million) as proceeds from the transaction were assumed to reduce debt levels under the $235 million U.S. revolving credit agreement and (2) interest expense that has been reclassified to discontinued operations as the interest associated with the U.K. revolving credit agreement was determined to be directly attributable to the Discontinued Operations ($0.2 million).

(e)

Represents the residual income taxes attributable to the Pro Forma Adjustments after calculating income taxes for continuing operations excluding the Discontinued Operations. The income taxes associated with the Pro Forma Adjustments generally reflect an income tax deduction at the statutory rate for domestic losses and expenses but no income tax benefit for foreign losses reflecting the recent historical operating losses which generally require a valuation allowance be recognized for any such loss carryforward.

(f)	Derived from our consolidated statement of operations included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

(g)	Individual line items of the Discontinued Operations had already been reported as discontinued operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, therefore no Pro Forma Adjustments for the Discontinued Operations are necessary, except as otherwise noted.

(h)	Represents interest expense that would not have been incurred had the disposal of the Discontinued Operations occurred as of February 2, 2014 as proceeds were assumed to reduce debt levels under the $235 million U.S. revolving credit agreement.

---

(a)	Derived from Oxford Industries, Inc.’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q as of May 2, 2015.

(b)	Represents the elimination of the amounts included in the Discontinued Operations’ balance sheet as of May 2, 2015, unless otherwise noted.

(c)

Represents the estimated proceeds to be utilized as a reduction of debt under our U.S. revolving credit agreement resulting from the £40.8 million sales price of the transaction less a preliminary working capital adjustment, transaction costs and other associated expenses, as well as income taxes. The amount or timing of proceeds to be received and utilized to reduce debt as presented as of May 2, 2015 is not necessarily reflective of the anticipated impact of the transaction at closing due to the impact of seasonal differences and foreign currency exchange rate changes between May 2, 2015 and the date of the transaction as well as other factors that could impact proceeds realized.

(d)

Represents the estimated net loss on the transaction, assuming the transaction occurred on May 2, 2015, after considering the transaction costs and other associated expenses, as well as income taxes. The amount of the net loss as of May 2, 2015 is not necessarily reflective of the anticipated net loss of the transaction at closing due to the impact of seasonal differences and foreign currency exchange rate changes between May 2, 2015 and the date of the transaction, as well as other factors that could impact the loss realized.
