Explanation of Responses: |
1. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of Cherokee Inc. |
2. In accordance with Cherokee's current compensation programs for non-employee directors, each non-employee director may elect to receive all or a portion of such director's annual retainer fees in restricted stock units in lieu of cash payments. The price per unit was established concurrently with the recipient's election regarding whether to receive restricted stock units in lieu of cash for such recipient's service over a one year period ending on August 4, 2015. |

Such restricted stock units (i) vest in equal quarterly installments following the date of grant, which vesting may accelerate in certain circumstances and (ii) may only be settled in shares of Cherokee's common stock. |
