Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On March 11, 2013, PVH Corp. (the “Company”) commenced certain actions in connection with its plans to achieve savings and synergies arising out of its acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco”).  The actions that were commenced consisted of notifying the employees in Warnaco’s Florence, Italy office that the office is expected to be closed by the end of the calendar year and most employees would not be offered employment elsewhere.  On March 12, 2013, employees at Warnaco’s Duncansville and Huntingdon, Pennsylvania facilities were notified that their employment will be terminated at various times commencing in the third quarter of 2013 and the facilities closed on March 31, 2014 and September 6, 2013, respectively.  Notices of termination of employment were given to employees in Warnaco’s New York City, Milford, Connecticut, Hong Kong and other far east locations on March 13 to 15, 2013.  The Company expects to undertake additional actions, including additional headcount reductions and the possibility of additional facility closings, in the United States and abroad.  The employment termination effective dates will commence March 15, 2013 and are expected to continue through February 13, 2015, with most terminations to become effective during the second half of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.  Total terminations worldwide are currently estimated at approximately 900 to 1,000, although certain positions will be replaced in other Company offices.

The Company does not yet have an estimate of the charges that it will incur under ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (formerly paragraph 8 of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities).  As  previously disclosed, the Company estimates it will  incur one-time costs of approximately $175 million over three years to achieve the planned savings and synergies, not all of which will be incurred under ASC 420.  The Company will amend this current report on Form 8-K to provide the information required by paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K at such time as it can be estimated.
