Investigation by China’s Ministry of Commerce
In September 2024, MOFCOM announced that it had initiated an investigation into our business under the UEL Provisions upon the suspicion that we (i) suspended normal transactions with Chinese entities or individuals, (ii) adopted discriminatory measures against products produced in or made from raw materials or component parts from China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and (iii) violated normal market trading principles. In October 2024, we submitted a written response to MOFCOM and, in December 2024, we submitted a supplemental response. In January 2025, MOFCOM issued a preliminary finding that PVH Corp. had violated normal market trading principles and in February 2025, it announced its determination and placed PVH Corp. on the UEL. We do not know if or when MOFCOM will implement any measures as a result of the listing or what they will be if any are imposed. According to the UEL Provisions, potential measures could include monetary fines, restrictions or prohibitions on engaging in import and export activities related to China or making investments in China, entry denial of our relevant personnel into China, restrictions or revocation of work permits, stay or residence status of our relevant personnel in China, or other measures. No measures have been imposed on us at this time. The practical impact of any such restrictions or prohibitions could include our inability to produce goods in China for sale elsewhere, our inability to sell goods on a wholesale or retail basis in China, or our inability to make investments in China. Please see our risk factor “China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) conducted an investigation into our business which resulted in PVH Corp. being placed on the List of Unreliable Entities (“UEL”) and could result in fines or restrictions on our ability to do business in China, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations” in Item 1A.

Other Matters
We are a party to certain litigations which, in management’s judgment based, in part, on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
