</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;26, 2013, Ralph Lauren Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), completed its offering of $300
million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 2.125% Senior Notes due 2018 (the &#147;Notes&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the
offering, on September&nbsp;23, 2013, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&nbsp;&amp; Smith Incorporated, and the other several
underwriters listed in Schedule I thereto (collectively, the &#147;Underwriters&#148;). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, covenants and indemnification provisions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.&nbsp;333-191302) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September&nbsp;23, 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of
September&nbsp;26, 2013 (the &#147;Base Indenture&#148;) between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;26, 2013 (the &#147;Supplemental
Indenture&#148; and together with the Base Indenture, the &#147;Indenture&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will mature on September&nbsp;26, 2018 and
accrue interest at a rate of 2.125%&nbsp;per year. Interest on the Notes will be paid semi-annually on March&nbsp;26 and September&nbsp;26 of each year, beginning on March&nbsp;26, 2014. The Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company
and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company&#146;s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may redeem the Notes at its option at any time, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the
following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date: (1)&nbsp;100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and (2)&nbsp;the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined in the Indenture); provided that if the Company redeems any Notes on or after August&nbsp;26, 2018 (one month prior to the stated maturity date of the Notes), the redemption price for those Notes will equal
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such
payments to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 0.10% (10 basis points). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture contains customary covenants, including restrictions limiting the Company&#146;s and its subsidiaries&#146; ability to create
certain liens, enter in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate or merge with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of the Company&#146;s or its subsidiaries&#146; property or assets to another person. The Indenture also
contains customary events of default, which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable. Additionally, upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be
required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future, engage in investment banking, commercial banking and
other financial advisory and commercial dealings with the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. Additionally, certain of the
Underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under the Company&#146;s global credit facility. </P>

ITEM 1.01.         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 26, 2013, Ralph Lauren Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), completed its offering of $300
million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 2.125% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Notes").
In connection with the
offering, on September 23, 2013, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and the other several
underwriters listed in Schedule I thereto (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, covenants and indemnification provisions.
The Notes were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-191302) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2013.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of
September 26, 2013 (the "Base Indenture") between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2013 (the "Supplemental
Indenture" and together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture").
The Notes will mature on September 26, 2018 and
accrue interest at a rate of 2.125% per year. Interest on the Notes will be paid semi-annually on March 26 and September 26 of each year, beginning on March 26, 2014. The Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company
and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
The Company may redeem the Notes at its option at any time, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the
following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date: (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and (2) the sum of the present values of the
Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined in the Indenture); provided that if the Company redeems any Notes on or after August 26, 2018 (one month prior to the stated maturity date of the Notes), the redemption price for those Notes will equal
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, the Company will discount such
payments to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 0.10% (10 basis points).
The Indenture contains customary covenants, including restrictions limiting the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to create
certain liens, enter in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate or merge with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of the Company's or its subsidiaries' property or assets to another person. The Indenture also
contains customary events of default, which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable. Additionally, upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be
required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
Certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future, engage in investment banking, commercial banking and
other financial advisory and commercial dealings with the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. Additionally, certain of the
Underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under the Company's global credit facility.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for general corporate
purposes which may include the repayment of the Company's €209.2 million aggregate principal amount of existing 4.5% notes due 2013.

Indenture, which have been filed as Exhibits hereto, copies of which are attached hereto or incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively. The text of each such document is incorporated herein by reference. Interested
