Pursuant to the Merger, Nina Footwear will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kidpik. We are extremely excited about the prospects of the Merger which is expected to increase Kidpik’s revenue, cashflow and prospects, while also strengthening Kidpik’s balance sheet and significantly increasing stockholder value."

The closing of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the preparation and mailing of a proxy statement by Kidpik, and the receipt of required stockholder approvals from Kidpik and Nina Footwear stockholders, and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024.
