27, 2012, the Compensation Committee (the &ldquo;Committee&rdquo;) of the board of directors of Maidenform Brands, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
approved revisions to the 2012 annual bonus opportunity (the &ldquo;2012 Bonus Opportunity&rdquo;) previously established for Company

President, Malcolm Robinson, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Chris Vieth,</FONT>
Senior Vice President, Merchandising and Design Operations, Steven Castellano and Chief Supply Chain Officer, Anthony D'Onofrio

Opportunity provides bonus awards that can be earned based on achievement of specified individual and Company performance measures,
including fiscal year 2012 operating income goals. The revision approved by the Committee on September 27, 2012 adjusts the operating
income goals applicable to the 2012 Bonus Opportunity for each Bonus Plan participant, including the Executive </FONT>Officers,
so that up to 25% <FONT STYLE="color: black">of the prior 2012 Bonus Opportunity will be available to participants subject to the
achievement of operating income measures corresponding to the projected </FONT>2012 <FONT STYLE="color: black">fiscal year earnings
per share.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="color: black">When the Company
established its performance goals at the beginning of the 2012 fiscal year it endeavored to set challenging but realistic goals
despite significant uncertainties regarding future market demand levels. The Committee made the adjustment described above in light
of the significant progress that the Company and the Bonus Plan participants have made to date toward achieving the other goals
originally established for the 2012 Bonus Opportunity and to sustain maximum focus and effort to achieve the Company&rsquo;s adjusted
operating income goal for the second half of fiscal 2012, during the critical year-end sales season. </FONT>It is anticipated that
second half income gains will partially offset demand weakness in the first half of 2012. In addition, sales, market share and
other operating metrics for the second half of 2012 are estimated to be stronger than the second half of 2011. The Committee also
wanted to incentivize potential gains in the second half of 2012 from successful execution of new product launches and branding
initiatives as well as improvements resulting from the Company&rsquo;s supply chain initiatives.</P>

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or
Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September
27, 2012, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the board of directors of Maidenform Brands, Inc. (the "Company")
approved revisions to the 2012 annual bonus opportunity (the "2012 Bonus Opportunity") previously established for Company
employees participating in the Company's Annual Performance Bonus Plan (the "Bonus Plan"), including the company's
President, Malcolm Robinson, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Chris Vieth,
Senior Vice President, Merchandising and Design Operations, Steven Castellano and Chief Supply Chain Officer, Anthony D'Onofrio
(the "Executive Officers"). No revisions were made to the
2012 annual bonus opportunity
previously established for Maurice Reznik, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
The 2012 Bonus
Opportunity provides bonus awards that can be earned based on achievement of specified individual and Company performance measures,
including fiscal year 2012 operating income goals. The revision approved by the Committee on September 27, 2012 adjusts the operating
income goals applicable to the 2012 Bonus Opportunity for each Bonus Plan participant, including the Executive
Officers,
so that up to 25%
of the prior 2012 Bonus Opportunity will be available to participants subject to the
achievement of operating income measures corresponding to the projected
2012
fiscal year earnings
per share.
When the Company
established its performance goals at the beginning of the 2012 fiscal year it endeavored to set challenging but realistic goals
despite significant uncertainties regarding future market demand levels. The Committee made the adjustment described above in light
of the significant progress that the Company and the Bonus Plan participants have made to date toward achieving the other goals
originally established for the 2012 Bonus Opportunity and to sustain maximum focus and effort to achieve the Company's adjusted
operating income goal for the second half of fiscal 2012, during the critical year-end sales season.
It is anticipated that
second half income gains will partially offset demand weakness in the first half of 2012. In addition, sales, market share and
other operating metrics for the second half of 2012 are estimated to be stronger than the second half of 2011. The Committee also
wanted to incentivize potential gains in the second half of 2012 from successful execution of new product launches and branding
initiatives as well as improvements resulting from the Company's supply chain initiatives.
Payments under the Bonus Plan would be made in cash to the executives
in the first quarter of 2013 subject to the achievement of the adjusted 2012 corporate goals.
