Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 10”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2016 (the “Original Statement” and, together with all amendments thereto, this “Statement”), relating to the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Tilly’s Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Original Statement. As Tilly Levine ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A Common Stock, this Amendment No. 10 serves as her final filing as a Reporting Person.

Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

The Reporting Persons hold the securities reported herein for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

As officers and co-founders of the Issuer, Mr. Shaked and Ms. Levine may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties with regard to the management and policies of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Voting Trust Agreement

Pursuant to a voting trust agreement, dated June 30, 2011, by and between Mr. Shaked and Ms. Levine (individually and as trustee for The Tilly Levine Separate Property Trust), as amended December 4, 2012 and May 25, 2017 (as amended, the “Voting Trust Agreement”), Ms. Levine has granted Mr. Shaked, as trustee under the agreement, the right to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by The Tilly Levine Separate Property Trust.

The description contained in this Statement of the Voting Trust Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the agreement (and exhibits thereto), which is filed as an exhibit to this Statement and is incorporated herein by this reference. See Item 7 “Material to be Filed as Exhibits.”

Except as stated above, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety by inserting the following information:

(a) and (b)

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Amendment No. 10, the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of as of the date hereof, based upon 22,836,746 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, which reflects the Class A Common Stock reported by the Issuer as of April 12, 2021 in the Issuer’s most recent Definitive Proxy Statement on Form DEF-14A, filed on April 12, 2021. The information set forth below assumes the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock held by each respective Reporting Person into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters to be voted on by the Issuer’s common stockholders, and shares of Class B Common Stock automatically convert, on a one-to-one basis, into Class A Common Stock upon certain events set forth in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Except for the transactions disclosed in this Item 5(c), none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the securities of the Issuer since the filing date of Amendment No. 9.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety by inserting the following information:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement relating to the Voting Trust Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
