FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HAMPSHIRE GROUP CHANGES ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO INVESTOR DAY

New York, NY, February 1, 2016 -- Hampshire Group, Limited (OTC Markets: HAMP) today provided additional information regarding the Company's previously announced 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) scheduled for February 16, 2016.

As previously announced, Hampshire Group expects to resume a normal schedule of quarterly SEC filings after filing the results for the second through fourth quarters of 2015 in the coming months. Until that time, the Company has concluded, after conferring with the SEC, that the Company should not proceed with its 2015 proxy statement. As a result, no business related to the approval of Company proposals will be conducted at the February 16^th meeting, which will instead be an “Investor Day” focused on a review of the business. Details are as follows:

● The meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. at the office of Blank Rome LLP, The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10174. Stockholders and interested parties may attend in person or may listen via a conference call.

● To join the conference call, dial 201-493-6749. Please call in 10 minutes before the meeting is scheduled to begin and ask for the Hampshire Group, Limited call. A replay of the meeting will be available on the investor relations section of Hampshire Group’s website (http://www.hamp.com/investor_relations.htm) within an hour after the completion of the live event, and will remain available for 90 days.

● The meeting will include a presentation by Hampshire Group management reviewing the Company’s financial results reported to date, its business strategy for 2016, its outlook and a review of its capital plan.

● A presentation outlining the above topics will be posted to Hampshire Group’s website at http://www.hamp.com/investor_relations.htm.
