[{"type":"text","content":"Announces $450 Million Refinancing Transaction\nSECAUCUS, N.J., Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Children’s Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), one of the only pure-play children’s specialty retailers in North America with an omni-channel portfolio of brands and an industry-leading digital-first model, today announced financial results for the Company’s third fiscal quarter ended November 1, 2025.

Looking ahead, we plan to open an additional 15 to 20 new stores in the first half of fiscal year 2026, ahead of our critical back-to-school season to drive revenue growth and profitability, with more store openings in the back-half of fiscal year 2026 and beyond. We also plan to refresh our store layouts, and in conjunction with our revamped My Place Rewards loyalty program, we are excited for the enhanced experience this will create for our new and existing customer file.” Financing UpdateJohn Szczepanski, Chief Financial Officer said, “We’re also pleased to announce that we have successfully completed the refinancing of a $350 million asset-based lending credit facility with Wells Fargo, supplemented by a $100 million FILO term loan with SLR Credit Solutions.
