EXPLANATORY NOTE

On August 8, 2006, The Warnaco Group, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) issued a press release and filed a related Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) in which it announced that it would be restating previously reported financial information for the three months ended December 31, 2005, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (‘‘Fiscal 2005’’) and the three months ended April 1, 2006. The restatements of the Company's financial statements for such periods were included in an Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, in each case, filed with the SEC on September 6, 2006.

This Amendment No. 3 (this ‘‘Amendment No. 3’’) to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 3, 2006 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated February 15, 2006, and Amendment No. 2, dated April 14, 2006, the ‘‘Form 8-K’’) is being filed to reflect the restatement of the Company's financial statements for Fiscal 2005. As described in the Company's August 8, 2006 press release and in the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the restatement of the Fiscal 2005 financial statements was required to correct for certain irregularities primarily related to the accounting for certain returns and customer allowances at the Company's Chaps menswear division. The restatement also corrects for certain immaterial errors.

Specifically, this Amendment No. 3 amends and restates Item 2.01 – Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, Item 9.01 (b) – Pro Forma Financial Information, and Exhibit 99.2. – Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company and CKJEA Business, in each case, to reflect the restatement of the Company's financial statements for Fiscal 2005. The special purpose carve-out combined financial statements of the CKJEA Business (included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K) are not affected by the restatement.

Except as required to reflect the restatement described above, no other modifications or updates have been made to the Form 8-K. Information not affected by the restatement remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of, and as of the dates described in, the Form 8-K. This Amendment No. 3 does not describe events occurring after the Form 8-K or modify or update disclosures (including forward-looking statements) which may have been affected by events or changes in facts occurring after the date of the Form 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 3 should be read in conjunction with the Company's filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment No. 3.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, dated February 3, 2006 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K, dated February 15, 2006, the ‘‘Initial 8-K’’), on January 31, 2006, WF Overseas Fashion C.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, consummated the acquisition (the ‘‘Acquisition’’) of 100% of the shares of the companies (collectively, the ‘‘CKJEA Business’’) that operate the licenses and related wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein^® jeanswear and accessories in Europe and Asia and the CK Calvin Klein ‘‘bridge’’ line of sportswear and accessories in Europe. Amendment No. 2 to the Form 8-K, dated April 14, 2006, had amended the Initial 8-K to include financial statements and unaudited pro forma financial information which were not included in the Initial 8-K pursuant to Item 9.01(a)(4) and (b)(2) of Form 8-K. As described in the Explanatory Note above, this Amendment No. 3 on Form 8-K/A further amends the Form 8-K to reflect the restatement of the Company's financial statements for Fiscal 2005.

Forward Looking Statements

This Amendment No. 3 on Form 8-K/A, as well as certain other written, electronic and oral disclosure made by the Company from time to time, contains ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of Rule 3b-6 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 175 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and reflect, when made, the Company's estimates, objectives, projections, forecasts, plans, strategies, beliefs, intentions, opportunities and expectations. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results or expectations and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘scheduled to,’’ ‘‘seek,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘will be,’’ ‘‘will continue,’’ ‘‘will likely result,’’ or the negative of those terms, or other similar words and phrases or by discussions of intentions or strategies.

The following factors, among others and in addition to those described in the Company's reports filed with the SEC (including, without limitation, those described under the headings ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and ‘‘Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure,’’ as such disclosure may be modified or supplemented from time to time), could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by it: economic conditions that affect the apparel industry; the Company's failure to anticipate, identify or promptly react to changing trends, styles, or brand preferences; further declines in prices in the apparel industry; declining sales resulting from increased competition in the Company's markets; increases in the prices of raw materials; events which result in difficulty in procuring or producing the Company's products on a cost-effective basis; the effect of laws and regulations, including those relating to labor, workplace and the environment; changing international trade regulation, including as it relates to the imposition or elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel; the Company's ability to protect its intellectual property or the costs incurred by the Company related thereto; the Company's dependence on a limited number of customers; the Company's dependence on license agreements with third parties; the Company's dependence on the reputation of its brand names, including, in particular, Calvin Klein; the Company's exposure to conditions in overseas markets in connection with the Company's foreign operations and the sourcing of products from foreign third-party vendors; the Company's foreign currency exposure; unanticipated internal control deficiencies or weaknesses or ineffective disclosure controls and procedures; the sufficiency of cash to fund operations, including capital expenditures; the Company's dependence on its senior management team and other key personnel; the limitations on purchases under the Company's share repurchase program contained in the Company's debt instruments, the number of shares that the Company purchases under such program and the prices paid for such shares; the failure of newly acquired businesses, including the CKJEA Business, to generate expected levels of revenues; the failure of the Company to successfully integrate such businesses with its existing businesses (and as a result, not achieving all or a substantial portion of the anticipated

benefits of the acquisition); and such newly acquired business being adversely affected, including by one or more of the factors described above and thereby failing to achieve anticipated revenues and earnings growth.

The Company encourages investors to read the section entitled ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and the discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies under ‘‘Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies’’ included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as such discussions may be modified or supplemented by subsequent reports that the Company files with the SEC. The foregoing discussion is not exhaustive but is designed to highlight important factors that may affect actual results. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except for the Company's ongoing obligation under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
