Item 8.01 Other Events.

RTW Retailwinds, Inc. (the "Company") will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission's order (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder, as amended by Release No. 34-88465 issued on March 25, 2020, to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 2, 2020 (the "Report"), as well as to delay the filing of the information omitted from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020 pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of the Form 10-K (the "Part III Information") which it expects to provide in a Definitive Proxy Statement on Form DEF 14A ("Proxy Statement"), due to the circumstances related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

COVID-19 has caused disruptions to the Company's suppliers overseas and to its supply chain, has resulted in continued store closures, and had led to furloughs for all store associates as well as terminating certain corporate personnel. As a result, COVID-19 and related events have resulted in the Company's management devoting significant time and attention to assessing the existing and future impact of COVID-19 and those events on the Company's operations, financial position, and cash flows, and developing operational and financial plans to address those matters. This has diverted management and financial resources from completing all of the tasks necessary to file the Company's Quarterly Report by its June 11, 2020 due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report no later than July 27, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Report's original filing deadline of June 11, 2020). Similarly, this has diverted management and financial resources from completing all of the tasks necessary to file the Company's Proxy Statement by its June 1, 2020 due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file its Proxy Statement no later than July 16, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Report's original filing deadline of June 1, 2020).
