This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on February 16, 2024 as amended and supplemented by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on March 4, 2024, by that certain Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on March 11, 2024, by that certain Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on April 18, 2024, and by that certain Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on September 16, 2024 (the “Initial 13D”, and the Initial 13D as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 5, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the common shares, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Shares”) of The Children’s Place, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Initial 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following paragraphs to the end thereof:

 

“On October 15, 2024, the Issuer, which is an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, filed a preliminary registration statement on Form S-1 in respect of the previously-disclosed rights offering contemplated by the Letter Agreement to be made by the Issuer in respect of the Common Stock (the “Preliminary Registration Statement”), which such registration statement has not become effective as of the date of this Amendment. On October 15, 2024, Mithaq SPC confirmed and agreed with the Issuer in writing, (i) “for all purposes pursuant to the Letter Agreement, that the rights offering as described in the [Preliminary Registration Statement] shall be deemed to be on substantially the same terms as are set forth on Exhibit D to the Letter Agreement, and therefore, satisfies the terms required by Section 2 of the Letter Agreement, notwithstanding any different or additional terms that may be set forth in the rights offering as described in the [Preliminary Registration Statement]” and (ii) “that the record date and the subscription price to be used in the rights offering may be established by the disinterested members of the board of directors of the Company, without any further consent or agreement from Mithaq being required”.

 

If and to the extent that the Registration Statement is ultimately made effective and the subscription rights contemplated thereby are distributed, the Reporting Persons currently intend, but undertake no obligation, to exercise all of the subscription rights distributed to any of them by the Company in the Rights Offering, as well as the over-subscription privilege. The Reporting Persons also reserve the right to pay some or all of the subscription price payable upon the exercise of any such subscription rights with indebtedness owed by the Company to Reporting Persons (including any indebtedness then-outstanding pursuant to Mithaq Term Loans or the Additional Mithaq Term Loan).”

 

 

Item 6.

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

 

Item 6 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following paragraph to the end thereof:

 

“The disclosure set forth in the first paragraph of Item 4 in this Amendment No. 5 is incorporated herein by reference.”
