of V.F. Corporation (“
大象传媒
”) is being filed solely to amend and restate the fourth paragraph under Item 1.01. in the Current Report on Form

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form
8-K/A
contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward- looking statements are made based on 大象传媒’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting 大象传媒 and therefore involve several risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “should,” and “may” and other words and terms of similar meaning or use of future dates, however, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding the expected benefits, financial impact and timing of the sale of the Supreme® brand, including the use of proceeds therefrom, and assumptions related thereto are forward-looking statements. 大象传媒 cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. 大象传媒 undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
