The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered under the caption In re: Ascena Retail Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33113. On February 25, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (Technical Modifications) of Mahwah Bergen Retail Group, Inc.

On March 5, 2021 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan of Reorganization became effective pursuant to its terms and the Debtors filed a Notice of (I) Entry of Order Confirming the Debtors' Amended Chapter 11 Plans and (II) Occurrence of Effective Date with the Bankruptcy Court.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The Plan of Reorganization, which became effective on March 5, 2021, provides that, among other things, on the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided for therein or in the Restructuring Support Agreement or any agreement, instrument or other document incorporated in the Plan of Reorganization or the Plan Supplement, all notes, instruments, certificates, Securities and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be terminated and canceled as to the Debtors and the obligations of the Debtors thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be deemed satisfied in full and discharged; provided that all provisions of the Term Loan Documents that by their express terms survive termination thereof shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable by their terms, in each case against all parties other than the Debtors. As a result, as of the Effective Date, among other things, all of the Company's equity interests, consisting of shares of common stock and related preferred stock purchase rights, were cancelled without consideration and have no value. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this paragraph have the meanings given such terms in the Plan of Reorganization, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 3, 2021.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;


           Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
           Officers.

Pursuant to the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date, the terms of the current members of the board of directors of the Debtors expired, and the Plan Administrator (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) was appointed as set forth in the Plan of Reorganization.

Also pursuant to the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date, the persons acting as managers and officers of the Debtors shall be deemed to have resigned, solely in their capacities as such, and the Plan Administrator shall be appointed as the sole manager and sole officer of the Debtors and shall succeed to the powers of the Debtors' managers and officers.




 Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 5, 2021, the Company will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its common stock and related preferred stock purchase rights and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, the Company will no longer be required to file certain reports under the Exchange Act, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and intends to immediately cease filing any such reports.
