		<p style="margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size: 10pt;">
			<font style="display:inline;">On May 18, 2020, Centric Brands Inc. (the &#x201C;Company&#x201D;) received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (&#x201C;Nasdaq&#x201D;), that, because the Company filed seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on May 1</font><font style="display:inline;font-weight:bold;">8</font><font style="display:inline;">, 2020 (the &#x201C;Filing&#x201D;), and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101, Nasdaq has determined that the Company&#x2019;s common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq. This expected determination is primarily based on the Filing and associated public interest concerns raised by it.&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, and was not compliant with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).</font>
		</p>
		<p style="margin:0pt;font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size: 10pt;">
			<font style="display:inline;">&nbsp;</font>
		</p>
		<p style="margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size: 10pt;">
			<font style="display:inline;">Given the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq and the Company&#x2019;s intent to emerge from the pending Chapter 11 case as a private entity, it does not plan to appeal the Nasdaq determination.&nbsp; Accordingly, trading of the Company&#x2019;s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on May 28, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the&nbsp;Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company&#x2019;s common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.</font>
		</p>

			<font style="display:inline;">&nbsp;</font>
		</p>
		<p style="margin:0pt;text-indent:36pt;font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size: 10pt;">
			<font style="display:inline;">The Company expects that its common stock will be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the &#x201C;OTC Pink&#x201D;). To be quoted on the OTC Pink, a market maker must sponsor the security and comply with SEC Rule 15c2-11 before it can initiate a quote in a specific security. The OTC Pink is a significantly more limited market than Nasdaq, and the quotation of the Company&#x2019;s common stock on the OTC Pink may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders and could further depress the trading price of the common stock. There can be no assurance that any public market for the common stock will exist in the future.</font>

Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 18, 2020, Centric Brands Inc. (the "Company") received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), that, because the Company filed seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on May 1
8
, 2020 (the "Filing"), and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101, Nasdaq has determined that the Company's common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq. This expected determination is primarily based on the Filing and associated public interest concerns raised by it.  In addition, the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, and was not compliant with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
Given the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq and the Company's intent to emerge from the pending Chapter 11 case as a private entity, it does not plan to appeal the Nasdaq determination.  Accordingly, trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on May 28, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
The Company expects that its common stock will be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the "OTC Pink"). To be quoted on the OTC Pink, a market maker must sponsor the security and comply with SEC Rule 15c2-11 before it can initiate a quote in a specific security. The OTC Pink is a significantly more limited market than Nasdaq, and the quotation of the Company's common stock on the OTC Pink may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders and could further depress the trading price of the common stock. There can be no assurance that any public market for the common stock will exist in the future.
