This amendment is being filed to supplement the discussion of the employment agreement between PVH B.V., a subsidiary of PVH Corp. (the “Company”), and Mr. Fred Gehring, the Chief Executive Officer of Tommy Hilfiger and PVH International Operations set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 26, 2013.  The discussion disclosed that Mr. Gehring has the responsibility of training a successor for his role overseeing certain Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein operations and transitioning his responsibilities to that person no earlier than the first anniversary and no later than the third anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement.
 
Daniel Grieder, currently Chief Executive Officer, PVH Europe, was named on October 28, 2013 as Mr. Gehring’s successor as the global Chief Executive Officer of Tommy Hilfiger. Mr. Gehring will begin to work with Mr. Grieder on the transition of his responsibilities, which is expected to be completed during the second half of 2014.  Following the transition, Mr. Gehring’s employment will continue on the reduced hour basis previously reported.  His titles will be Chairman, Tommy Hilfiger and Vice Chairman, PVH Corp. (or such other title(s) as may be agreed upon) and, as previously reported, he will be involved in establishing the overall strategy of Tommy Hilfiger and serve as an advisor to his successor and to PVH’s Chief Executive Officer on matters related to PVH.
 
The Company’s press release announcing the succession plan is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this amendment.
