Item 3.                                 Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On June 25, 2014 Dov Charney entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Standard General L.P., on behalf of one or more of the funds for which it serves as investment manager (“SG”). The Letter Agreement states that SG intends to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer.  If SG, in its sole discretion, is able to purchase at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Condition Precedent”) then SG will loan Mr. Charney an amount equal to the SG Price (as defined below) times the number of shares purchased by SG.  The number of shares and the SG Price shall be determined upon completion of SG’s purchases, and SG shall notify Mr. Charney upon completion of the purchases.  Mr. Charney will use the proceeds of such loan to purchase such Common Stock from SG for the lowest price per share paid by SG for such Common Stock after the first purchase (the “SG Price”).  Mr. Charney will enter into definitive loan documents which will provide for the following:

(i)                   The loan will bear interest at 10% per annum, which will be payable in kind.

(ii)                The loan will  mature on July 15, 2019, but may be prepaid without penalty.

(iii)             The proceeds of the loan will be used solely to acquire the shares from SG.

(iv)            The loan will be collateralized by the Common Stock purchased by Mr. Charney from SG and Mr. Charney’s other shares of Common Stock.

(v)               Mr. Charney and SG will enter into warrant agreements granting SG a right to purchase (a) the shares sold to him by SG, and (b) 4,720,941 shares.  The price to be paid for such shares pursuant to such warrant agreements will be the SG Price.

(vi)            Mr. Charney and SG will agree to vote their shares only as agreed between them, provided that notwithstanding such an agreement Mr. Charney may vote his shares (a) in favor of his election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and (b) pursuant to the Investment Voting Agreement, dated March 13, 2009 between Mr. Charney and Lion Capital (Guernsey) II Limited.

Mr. Charney understands that the Condition Precedent has been satisfied.  As a result of the execution of the Letter Agreement Mr. Charney and SG may be considered to be a “group” under Rule 13D-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  .

Item 4.                                 Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows.

In addition to possibly acquiring securities as contemplated by the Letter Agreement, Mr. Charney intends to evaluate various alternatives that are or may become available with respect to the Issuer and its securities.  Mr. Charney may from time to time acquire additional equity or debt securities or other instruments of the Issuer or dispose of such equity or debt securities or other instruments in any amount that Mr. Charney may determine in his sole discretion, through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The information set forth in this Item 4 is subject to change , and there can be no assurances that the discussions or activities described in this Item 4 will continue or occur or that Mr. Charney will or will not take, or cause to be taken, any of the actions described above or any similar actions.
