PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED [•], 2017

PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF
NAKED BRAND GROUP INC.

PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 10,342,191 ORDINARY SHARES
AND
5,101,958 ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
OF
BENDON GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

The board of directors of each of Naked Brand Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Naked”), Bendon Limited, a New Zealand limited company (“Bendon”), Bendon Group Holdings Limited, an Australia limited company (“Holdco”), and Naked Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”), has unanimously approved the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 25, 2017 (as the same may be amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Naked, Bendon, Holdco, Merger Sub and Bendon Investments Ltd., a New Zealand company and at the time the owner of a majority of the outstanding shares of Bendon (the “Principal Shareholder”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Bendon and Naked will enter into a business combination transaction by means of (i) a reorganization by Holdco and Bendon (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which all of the shareholders of Bendon will exchange all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Bendon (the “Bendon Ordinary Shares”) for ordinary shares of Holdco (“Holdco Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) immediately thereafter, a merger of Merger Sub and Naked, with Naked surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and the Naked stockholders receiving Holdco Ordinary Shares in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Naked (the “Merger” and together with the Reorganization, the “Transactions”).

As a result of the Transactions, Bendon and Naked will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdco and the shareholders of Bendon and the stockholders of Naked will become shareholders of Holdco. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Naked shall be converted into the right to receive one Holdco Ordinary Share. The outstanding options and warrants of Naked will, by their terms, automatically entitle the holders to purchase Holdco Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Transactions. Accordingly, this prospectus covers an aggregate of 10,342,191 Holdco Ordinary Shares and 5,101,958 Holdco Ordinary Shares underlying such options and warrants of Holdco issuable to the stockholders of Naked following consummation of the Transactions.

We estimate that, immediately following completion of the Transactions, the Holdco Ordinary Shares issued to the shareholders of Bendon as a result of the Reorganization will constitute approximately 93.0% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares and the Holding Ordinary Shares issued to the Naked stockholders as a result of the Merger will constitute approximately 7.0% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares.

Proposals to approve the Merger Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the annual meeting of stockholders of Naked scheduled to be held on [•], 2017.

Naked’s common stock is currently listed on the Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “NAKD.” Following the Transactions, all Naked common stock will be de-listed from Nasdaq and de-registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On [•], 2017, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the closing sale price of Naked common stock was $[•] per share.

Although Holdco is not currently a public company, it will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, and the closing of the Merger. Holdco intends to apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the consummation of the Transactions, of the Holdco Ordinary Shares on either Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “[•],” and Holdco is expected to be publicly traded on either Nasdaq or the NYSE under this symbol following the completion of the Merger, subject to receipt of Nasdaq’s or NYSE’s approval and official notice of issuance. It is a condition of the consummation of the transactions that Holdco receive confirmation from Nasdaq or the NYSE that the Holdco Ordinary Shares have been approved for listing. While trading on Nasdaq or the NYSE is expected to begin on the first business day following the date of completion of the Merger, there can be no assurance that a viable and active trading market will develop.

Holdco will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups of 2012, and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.

Holdco will also be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Holdco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Holdco will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Merger Agreement and other matters to be considered at the annual meeting of Naked’s stockholders. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 22 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated [•], 2017, and is first being mailed to holders on or about [•], 2017.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON [•], 2017

Dear Naked Brand Group Inc. Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting of stockholders of Naked Brand Group Inc. (“Naked”) at [•] a.m. local time on [•], 2017, at the offices of Duane Morris LLP, Naked’s counsel, located at 1540 Broadway, 14^th floor, New York, New York 10034.

The annual meeting will be held for the following purposes:

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of Naked common stock at the close of business on [•], 2017 are entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the annual meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting.

After careful consideration, Naked’s board of directors has determined that each of the proposals outlined above is fair to and in the best interests of Naked and its stockholders and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each proposal. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is conditional on approval of the merger proposal.

Naked stockholders should understand, however, that if the Transactions are completed, the effect of the approval of the election of directors proposal and the ratification of appointment of independent auditor proposal may be limited since the composition of the Naked board of directors will likely be changed upon completion of the Transactions and the new Naked board of directors may decide to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm immediately or shortly after completion of the Transactions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

All Naked stockholders are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting in person. To ensure your representation at the annual meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card, or submit a proxy electronically by telephone or internet, as soon as possible. If you are a holder of record of Naked common stock, you may also cast your vote in person at the annual meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the annual meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.

A complete list of Naked stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available for ten days before the annual meeting at the principal executive offices of Naked for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the annual meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card, or submit a proxy electronically by telephone or internet using the instructions provided on your proxy card, as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

By Order of the Board of Directors

/s/ Carole Hochman

Carole Hochman
Chief Executive Officer

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated [•], 2017 and is first being mailed to Naked Brand Group Inc. stockholders on or about [•], 2017.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

Q.		Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?		A.		Naked and Bendon have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Merger Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and Naked encourages its stockholders to read it in its entirety. Naked’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, which, among other things, provides for (i) the Reorganization of Bendon and Holdco pursuant to which all of the shareholders of Bendon will exchange all the outstanding Bendon Ordinary Shares for Holdco Ordinary Shares, and (ii) immediately thereafter, the Merger of Merger Sub and Naked, with Naked being the surviving entity, and to approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
						In addition to voting on the principal terms of the Merger Agreement including the Transactions, the stockholders of Naked will also vote on a proposal to approve, if necessary, an adjournment of the annual meeting to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based on the tabulated vote, Naked is unable to consummate the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement (see the section entitled “The Adjournment Proposal”).
						In addition to the foregoing, the stockholders of Naked will also vote on a proposal to elect nine (9) directors to the board of directors to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified (see the section entitled “Election of Directors”) and to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018 (see the section entitled “Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”). Naked stockholders should understand, however, that if the Transactions are completed, the effect of the approval of the election of directors proposal and the ratification of appointment of independent auditor proposal may be limited since the composition of the Naked board of directors will likely be changed upon completion of the Transactions and the new Naked board of directors may decide to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm immediately or shortly after completion of the Transactions.
						Naked will hold the annual meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed transactions and the other matters to be acted upon at the annual meeting. Stockholders should read it carefully.
						The vote of stockholders is important. Stockholders are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q.		Why is Naked proposing the business combination?		A.		Bendon is an intimate apparel and swimwear company that has sought to deliver innovative, premium quality products throughout its 70-year history. Bendon has a portfolio of eight brands which it owns: Bendon, Bendon Man, Davenport, Evollove, Fayreform, Hickory, Lovable (in Australia and New Zealand) and Pleasure State. Bendon has a portfolio of three licensed brands: Heidi Klum Intimates, Swimwear and Stella McCartney Lingerie and Swimwear and Frederick’s of Hollywood Intimates and Swimwear.
						Based on its due diligence investigations of Bendon, including the financial and other information provided by Bendon in the course of their negotiations, Naked believes that a business combination with Bendon will provide several significant benefits to both Naked and Bendon. However, there is no assurance of this. See the section entitled “The Merger Proposal — Naked’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Transactions.”
Q.		Do I have dissenter’s rights if I object to the proposed transactions?		A.		No. Naked stockholders do not have dissenter’s rights under Nevada law in connection with the Transactions.
Q.		When do you expect the Transactions to be completed?		A.		It is currently anticipated that the Transactions will be consummated promptly following the completion of the Naked annual meeting, which is scheduled for [•], 2017, and any postponements or adjournments thereof. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Transactions, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Closing of the Transactions.”
Q.		What do I need to do now?		A.		Naked urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the transactions will affect you as a stockholder of Naked. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy cards.
Q.		How do I vote?		A.		If you are a holder of record of Naked common stock on the record date, you may vote in person at the annual meeting or by submitting a proxy for the annual meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope, or by following the instructions on your proxy card to submit a proxy electronically by telephone or internet. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q.		If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?		A.		No. Under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, your broker may not exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares of Naked common stock on “non-routine” proposals, such as the merger proposal. Accordingly, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares unless you provide it with instructions on how to vote. If you do not provide instructions on how to vote on a “non-routine” matter, the bank, broker or other nominee will inform us that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”
Q.		May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card or given instructions to my broker, bank or other nominee?		A.		Yes. Stockholders of record may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Naked’s secretary at the address set forth below, or submit a later proxy electronically by telephone or internet, so that it is received prior to the vote at the annual meeting or attend the annual meeting in person and vote. Stockholders of record also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Naked’s secretary, which must be received by Naked’s secretary prior to the vote at the annual meeting. Stockholders who hold their shares in “street name” must follow the instructions provided by their broker, bank or other nominee in order to change or revoke their voting instructions.
Q.		What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the meeting?		A.		If you are a stockholder and you fail to take any action with respect to the stockholder meeting and the Transactions are approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of Holdco. If you fail to take any action with respect to the stockholder meeting and the Transactions are not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder of Naked.
Q.		What should I do with my share certificates?		A.		Naked stockholders should not submit their certificates now. After the consummation of the Transactions, Holdco will send instructions to Naked stockholders regarding the exchange of their Naked stock for Holdco Ordinary Shares.
Q.		What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?		A.		You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus. For example, if you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. If you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive voting materials for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card you receive (or submit a proxy electronically by telephone or internet for each such physical proxy card you receive) and provide instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to each brokerage account for which you receive proxy materials, in order to be sure you cast a vote with respect to all of your shares of Naked common stock.

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the proposals to be submitted for a vote at the annual meeting, including the Transactions, you should read this entire document carefully, including the Merger Agreement attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. The Merger Agreement is the legal document that governs the Transactions that will be undertaken. It is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement.”

The Parties

Naked

Naked is an apparel and lifestyle brand company that is currently focused on innerwear products for women and men. Under its flagship brand name and registered trademark “Naked®”, Naked designs, manufactures and sells men’s and women’s underwear, intimate apparel, loungewear and sleepwear through retail partners and direct to consumer through its online retail store www.wearnaked.com. Naked has a growing retail footprint for its innerwear products in premium department and specialty stores and internet retailers in North America, including accounts such as Nordstrom, Dillard’s, Bloomingdale’s, Amazon.com, Soma.com, SaksFifthAvenue.com, barenecessities.com and others. Naked’s common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “NAKD.”

Naked, a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on May 17, 2005 under the name Search By Headlines.com Corp. Immediately prior to the transaction with Naked Inc. described below, Naked was a public reporting “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). On July 30, 2012, Naked completed a reverse acquisition of Naked Inc., whereby Naked acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Naked Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 337,500 shares of common stock of Naked to the Naked Inc. stockholders on a pro-rata basis, representing 50% of the capital stock of Naked at the time. As a result of this reverse acquisition transaction, Naked Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naked and Naked’s business became the manufacture and sale of direct and wholesale men’s innerwear and intimate apparel products in Canada and the United States to consumers and retailers. Effective August 29, 2012, Naked changed its name from “Search By Headlines.com Corp.” to “Naked Brand Group Inc.” Naked Inc., Naked’s wholly owned subsidiary, was originally incorporated under the federal laws of Canada on May 21, 2009 as “In Search of Solutions Inc.” Naked changed the subsidiary’s corporate name to “Naked Boxer Brief Clothing Inc.” on May 17, 2010 and to “Naked Inc.” on February 20, 2013. Naked Inc. converted from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada on July 27, 2012.

The mailing address of Naked’s principal executive office is 95 Madison Avenue, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10016 and its telephone number is (212) 851-8050. After the consummation of the Transactions, Naked will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco.

Bendon

Bendon is an intimate apparel and swimwear company that has sought to deliver innovative, premium quality products throughout its 70-year history. Bendon has a portfolio of eight brands which it owns: Bendon, Bendon Man, Davenport, Evollove, Fayreform, Hickory, Lovable (in Australia and New Zealand) and Pleasure State, and three licensed brands: Heidi Klum Intimates and Swimwear, Stella McCartney Lingerie and Swimwear and Frederick’s of Hollywood Intimates and Swimwear.

Bendon, a New Zealand limited company, was formed on March 31, 1981.

The mailing address of Bendon’s principal executive office is Building 7C, Huntley Street, Alexandria, NSW 2015, Australia, and its telephone number is +61 2 9384 2400. After the consummation of the Transactions, Bendon will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco.

Holdco

Holdco was formed to serve as a holding company for Bendon and Naked after consummation of the Transactions. Holdco currently is wholly owned by Justin Davis-Rice, the Executive Chairman of Bendon and a director of Naked.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Holdco, an Australian public limited company, was formed on May 11, 2017, under the name Bendon Group Holdings Limited. The mailing address of Holdco’s principal executive office is Building 7C, Huntley Street, Alexandria, NSW 2015, Australia, and its telephone number is +61 2 9384 2400. After the consummation of the Transactions, Holdco will become the continuing public company.

Merger Sub

Merger Sub was formed solely as a vehicle for consummating the Transactions, and currently is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco.

Merger Sub, a Nevada corporation, was formed on May 22, 2017, under the name Naked Merger Sub Inc. The mailing address of Merger Sub’s principal executive office is Building 7C, Huntley Street, Alexandria, NSW 2015, Australia, and its telephone number is +61 2 9384 2400.

Principal Shareholder

The mailing address of the Principal Shareholder’s principal executive office is 8 Airpark Drive, Airport Oaks, Auckland 2022, New Zealand, and its telephone number is +64 9 257 0711.

Emerging Growth Company

Holdco is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (or JOBS Act). As an emerging growth company, Holdco is eligible, and has elected, to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation (to the extent applicable to a foreign private issuer).

Holdco could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of Holdco’s fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the transactions. However, if Holdco’s annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more, if its non-convertible debt issued within a three year period exceeds $1 billion or the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, Holdco would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the last day of that fiscal year.

Foreign Private Issuer

Holdco will be a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, Holdco will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations. Moreover, Holdco will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act, and Holdco will not be required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. In addition, Holdco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of Holdco Ordinary Shares.

As a foreign private issuer, Holdco will also be permitted, and intends, to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the applicable rules of Nasdaq or the NYSE for domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, Holdco intends to follow home country practice in Australia with regard to, among other things, composition of its board of directors and approval of compensation of officers. In addition, Holdco may follow its home country law instead of the applicable rules of Nasdaq or the NYSE that require that it obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events, such as the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or greater interest in Holdco, and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Merger Proposal

The Merger Agreement provides for (i) the Reorganization of Bendon and Holdco pursuant to which all of the shareholders of Bendon will exchange all the outstanding Bendon Ordinary Shares for Holdco Ordinary Shares, and (ii) immediately thereafter, the Merger of Merger Sub and Naked, with Naked surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and the Naked stockholders receiving Holdco Ordinary Shares.

As a result of the Transactions, Bendon and Naked will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdco and the shareholders of Bendon and the stockholders of Naked will become the shareholders of Holdco along with the Principal Shareholder. We estimate that, immediately following the consummation of the Transactions, the shares issued to the shareholders of Bendon as a result of the Reorganization will constitute approximately 93.0% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares and the shares issued to the Naked stockholders as a result of the Merger will constitute approximately 7.0% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares.

Carole Hochman, the Chief Executive Officer of Naked, will agree that the Holdco Ordinary Shares received by her in the Merger will be subject to certain transfer restrictions for a period of six months from the closing of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), except that the restrictions will terminate earlier if she ceases to be employed by Holdco, Bendon, Naked or any of their affiliates.

Naked and Bendon plan to complete the Transactions promptly after the Naked annual meeting, provided that:

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal — Naked’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Transactions,” Naked’s Board of Directors concluded that the Transactions are in the best interests of the Naked stockholders.

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, Naked is unable to consummate the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (because, for example, the merger proposal is not approved), Naked’s board of directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the annual meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies. See the section entitled “The Adjournment Proposal.”

The Election of Directors Proposal

The stockholders of Naked will also vote on a proposal to elect nine (9) directors to the board of directors to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. See the section entitled “Election of Directors.”

The Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditor Proposal

The stockholders of Naked will also vote on a proposal to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018. See the section entitled “Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Date, Time and Place of Annual Meeting of Naked’s Stockholders

The annual meeting of the stockholders of Naked will be held at [•] a.m., local time, on [•], 2017, at the offices of Duane Morris LLP, Naked’s counsel, 1540 Broadway, New York, NY 10036-4086, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the merger proposal or, if necessary, the adjournment proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

Naked has fixed the close of business on [•], 2017, as the “record date” for determining Naked stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the annual meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 10,342,191 shares of Naked common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each

TABLE OF CONTENTS

share of Naked common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the annual meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

Quorum and Vote for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders

A quorum of Naked stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting of stockholders. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of Naked common stock constitutes a quorum. The proposals presented at the annual meeting will require the following votes:

Abstentions occur when a Naked stockholder marks “abstain” with respect to a particular proposal. Broker non-votes occur when a stockholder that holds its shares in “street name” does not give its broker, bank or other nominee instructions on how to vote its shares on a “non-routine” matter, such as the merger proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal, but will have no effect on the other proposals.

Consummation of the Transactions is conditional on approval of the merger proposal.

Naked stockholders should understand, however, that if the Transactions are completed, the effect of the approval of the election of directors proposal and the ratification of appointment of independent auditor proposal may be limited since the composition of the Naked board of directors will likely be changed upon completion of the Transactions and the new Naked board of directors may decide to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm immediately or shortly after completion of the Transactions.

Dissenter’s Rights

Naked stockholders do not have dissenter’s rights under Nevada law in connection with the Transactions.

Proxy Solicitation

Naked is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. Naked will bear all of the costs of the solicitation. Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Naked has engaged Morrow Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies and will pay Morrow Sodali the fees described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If you grant a proxy, you may still vote your shares of Naked common stock in person at the annual meeting. You may also change you vote by submitting a later-dated proxy or by revoking your proxy as described in the section entitled “Annual Meeting of Naked Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Opinion of Financial Advisor to Naked

Naked retained Noble Capital Markets Inc. (“Noble”) to act as an independent financial advisor to Naked’s board of directors in connection with the proposed Transactions. Naked selected Noble based on Noble’s expertise in analyzing businesses and their securities. Noble is a full-service, investment and merchant banking boutique focused on the healthcare, media and entertainment, technology and natural resources

TABLE OF CONTENTS

sectors. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Noble is regularly engaged in the valuation of public companies and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

At the May 22, 2017 meeting at which Naked’s board of directors considered and discussed the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, Noble delivered to Naked’s board of directors its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in its written opinion, to the effect that the merger consideration is fair to holders of Naked common stock as of the date of its written opinion from a financial point of view. The opinion speaks only as of May 22, 2017 and not as of the time the Merger may be completed or any other time. Importantly, the opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of the opinion, which could significantly alter the value of, among other things, Naked or Bendon, which are factors upon which Noble based its opinion.

The full text of the opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations of the review undertaken by Noble in rendering its opinion, is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and attached as Annex B and Noble has consented to the inclusion of its written opinion as an Annex to this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary of the Noble’s opinion set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Naked stockholders should read the opinion carefully and in its entirety. The Noble opinion was directed to Naked’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of Naked as to how any such stockholder should vote at any meeting of stockholders called to consider and vote upon the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger. Further, Noble’s opinion was directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to the holders of Naked common stock and does not address the underlying business decision of Naked to engage in the Merger, the form or structure of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative transactions or business strategies that might exist for Naked or the effect of any other transaction in which Naked might engage. Noble did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by any officer, director or employee of Naked or Bendon, or any class of such persons, if any, relative to the compensation to be received in the Merger by any other stockholder, including the merger consideration to be received by the holders of Naked common stock.

Interests of Naked’s Directors and Officers in the Transactions

When you consider the recommendation of Naked’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposal, you should keep in mind that certain of Naked’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a Naked stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Messrs. Davis-Rice and Hanson recused themselves from the vote by the Naked board when it approved the Transactions. Accordingly, the above-interests may not have necessarily impacted the vote on the proposed Transactions.

Recommendation to Stockholders

Naked’s board of directors has unanimously (with Justin Davis-Rice and Edward Hanson recusing themselves) determined that each of the proposals outlined above is fair to and in the best interests of Naked and its stockholders and recommended that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each proposal.

Conditions to Closing the Transactions

General Conditions

Consummation of the Merger is conditioned on the following: (i) no governmental entity will have enacted or issued any legal requirement which has the effect of making the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions substantially on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part will have been declared effective, (iii) the Naked stockholders will have approved the Transactions, (iv) the Reorganization will have been completed, and (v) the Holdco Ordinary Shares will have been approved for listing on Nasdaq or the NYSE.

In addition, each party’s obligations to consummate the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the representations and warranties of the other party being true and correct on and as of the closing date in all material respects (except to the extent already qualified as to materiality), (ii) all agreements and covenants required by the Merger Agreement to be performed or complied with by the other party on or prior to the closing date will have been performed or complied with, except to the extent that any failure to perform or comply (other than a willful failure to perform or comply or failure to perform or comply with an agreement or covenant reasonably within the control of such party, in any case in any material respect) does not, or will not, constitute a material adverse effect (as described in on such party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (iii) all necessary consents, waivers and approvals required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement having been received, other than consents, waivers and approvals the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the other party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Holdco, Bendon and Merger Sub’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of Holdco, Bendon and Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement also are conditioned upon, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Naked’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of Naked to consummate the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement also are conditioned upon each of the following, among other things:

Waiver

If permitted under applicable law, each of the parties may, in writing, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made for its benefit contained in the Merger Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for its benefit contained in the Merger Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Inaccuracies in representations and warranties and noncompliance with agreements or conditions made for the benefit of more than one party may only be waived by mutual agreement of all such parties. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived.

If permitted under applicable law, at any time prior to the closing, Holdco, Bendon and/or Naked may, in writing, to the extent legally allowed, extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties to the Merger Agreement that are to be performed for the benefit of such party or parties.

The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he/she may believe is best for Naked and what he/she may believe is best for himself or herself in determining whether or not to grant or agree to a waiver in a specific situation. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a fuller discussion of this and other risks.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing, as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

See the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Non-Solicitation; Change of Recommendation; Break-Up Fee” for a description of the definitions of “Superior Proposal” and “Break-Up Fee.”

Regulatory Matters

The Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval necessary to effectuate the Transactions, except for the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the annual meeting, a stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Bendon and Naked are providing the following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the transactions. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the Transactions taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

In connection with the Merger, Bendon and Holdco will undertake a reorganization. Under the Reorganization Holdco acquired Bendon and its controlled entities. Holdco determined that the acquisition of Bendon did not represent a business combination as defined by IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’. This is because the Reorganization is considered to be a combination of entities under common control immediately prior to the Merger, and such common control transactions are outside the scope of IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’.

Accordingly the related restructuring represents a reorganization of the economic entity historically known as Bendon and results in the Holdco becoming the new parent entity of that group. As such, the consolidated financial statements of the Holdco reflect a continuation of the existing Bendon consolidated financial statements.

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information combines the audited historical balance sheet of Bendon as of January 31, 2017 with the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Naked as of January 31, 2017, giving effect to (1) the Transactions as if they had been consummated as of that date, (2) conversion of Naked’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS and translation from USD to NZD, (3) purchase accounting adjustments, and (4) any other relevant adjustments which may include reclassifications to align Naked’s financial statements to Bendon.

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations information for the seven months ended January 31, 2017 combines the audited historical statement of operations of Bendon for the seven months ended January 31, 2017 with the historical consolidated statement of operations of Naked, adjusted by combining the unaudited six months ended January 31, 2017 and the unaudited one month ended July 31, 2016, giving effect to (1) the Transactions as if they had been consummated on July 1, 2015, (2) conversion of Naked’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS and translation from USD to NZD, (3) purchase accounting adjustments, and (4) any other relevant adjustments which may include reclassifications to align Naked’s financial statements to Bendon.

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 combines the audited historical statement of operations of Bendon for the year ended June 30 2016 with the historical consolidated statement of operations of Naked, adjusted by combining the unaudited six months ended July 31, 2016 with the unaudited six months ended January 31, 2016, giving effect to the (1) the Transactions as if they had been consummated on July 1, 2015, (2) conversion of Naked’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS and translation from USD to NZD, (3) purchase accounting adjustments, and (4) any other relevant adjustments which may include reclassifications to align Naked’s financial statements to Bendon.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Transactions, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Transactions. Matters such as cost savings as a result of the Transactions and contingent consideration and the working capital adjustment associated with the Transactions have not been reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements as the impact of these matters cannot be determined at this time.

This selected unaudited pro forma information is only a summary and should be read together with Bendon’s and Naked’s financial statements and related notes, “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements,” “Bendon’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Naked’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The value of your investment in Holdco following consummation of the Transactions will be subject to the significant risks affecting Holdco and inherent in the intimate apparel industry. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any of the events described below occur, the business and financial results of the combined company could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of the Holdco Ordinary Shares to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Bendon’s Business and Operations

As used in the risks described in this subsection, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to Bendon and its subsidiaries unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

All figures presented below are in New Zealand Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

We have a history of operating losses that may continue into the foreseeable future.

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow that may continue into the foreseeable future. If we fail to execute our strategy to achieve and maintain profitability in the future, investors could lose confidence in the value of our Ordinary Shares, which could cause our share price to decline and adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. Investors should evaluate an investment in our company in light of this.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our growth or cease our development plans and operations.

The operation of our business and our growth efforts will require significant cash outlays. We are largely dependent on outside capital to implement our business plan and support our operations. We anticipate for the foreseeable future that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our cash requirements, and that we will need to raise additional capital through investments to fund our operations and growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our growth efforts, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you may lose all your investment. Financings, including future equity investments, if obtained, may be on terms that are dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the price at which you purchase your shares. Furthermore, the terms of securities issued in a financing, if obtained, may be more favorable for new investors.

Investors should be aware that the value of an investment in our company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of an investment in our company will fully reflect its underlying value.

Bendon’s auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements included an explanatory paragraph regarding there being substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

For the financial periods ended January 31, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, Bendon incurred a net loss from continuing operations of ($16,008,000), ($20,715,000) and ($13,198,000) and operating cash outflows of $13,518,000, $5,040,000 and $17,199,000, respectively. We anticipate generating losses for at least the next 12 months to at least January 2018. In addition, we are in the process of raising capital through share issuance and arranging the conversion of convertible noteholder debt to equity. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about Bendon’s ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern, as noted by our auditors with respect to the consolidated financial statements for the periods ended January 31, 2017, June 30, 2016

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and June 30, 2015. Although our consolidated financial statements raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, they do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue our business. If Bendon cannot continue as a viable entity, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

We have a concentration of sales to key customers and any substantial reduction in sales to these customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.

During the seven month period ended January 31, 2017, sales were concentrated with Myer, Farmers, Macy’s and Woolworths, accounting for 11%, 6%, 5%, and 4%, respectively, of our sales. Our results of operations would be materially adversely affected if these relationships ceased. Although we have diversified our customers and continue to receive increasing sales orders from existing customers, these customers do not have any ongoing purchase commitment agreement with us; therefore, we cannot guarantee that the volume of sales will remain consistent going forward. Any substantial change in purchasing decisions by these customers, whether due to actions by our competitors, industry factors or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial condition.

Our customers generally purchase our products on credit, and as a result, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if our customers experience financial difficulties.

During the past several years, various retailers, including some of our largest customers, have experienced significant difficulties, including restructurings, bankruptcies and liquidations. This could adversely affect us because our customers generally pay us after goods are delivered. Adverse changes in our customers’ financial position could cause us to limit or discontinue business with that customer, require us to assume more credit risk relating to that customer’s future purchases or limit our ability to collect accounts receivable relating to previous purchases by that customer, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We operate in a highly competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenue and profitability.

The market for intimate apparel products is highly competitive. Competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins or lost market share or a failure to grow our market share, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. We compete directly against wholesalers and direct retailers of intimate apparel products, including large, diversified companies with substantial market share and strong worldwide brand recognition, such as L Brands Inc., Hanesbrands Inc. and PVH Corp., whose brands include Victoria’s Secrets, Calvin Klein, Maidenform, Bonds and others. Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including longer operating histories, larger and broader customer bases, more established relationships with a broader set of suppliers, greater brand recognition and greater financial, research and development, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be able to achieve and maintain brand awareness and market share more quickly and effectively than we can. Many of our competitors promote their brands through traditional forms of advertising, such as print media and television commercials, and through celebrity endorsements, and have greater and substantial resources to devote to such efforts. Our competitors may also create and maintain brand awareness using traditional forms of advertising more quickly than we can. Our competitors may also be able to increase sales in their new and existing markets faster than we can by emphasizing different distribution channels than we do, such as catalog sales or an extensive franchise network, as opposed to distribution through retail stores, wholesale or internet, and many of our competitors have substantial resources to devote toward increasing sales in such ways.

If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales and profitability.

Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. We may be unable to introduce new products in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a timely manner. Our customers may not accept our new products including our recently launched women’s products, or our competitors may introduce similar products in a more timely fashion. Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower sales and excess inventory levels. Even if we are successful in anticipating consumer preferences, our ability to adequately react to and address those preferences will in part depend upon our continued ability to develop and introduce innovative, high-quality products. Our failure to effectively introduce new products that are accepted by consumers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Our net sales, profit results and cash flows are sensitive to, and may be affected by, general economic conditions, consumer confidence, spending patterns, weather or other market disruptions.

Our net sales, profit, cash flows and future growth may be affected by negative local, regional, national or international political or economic trends or developments that reduce the consumers’ ability or willingness to spend, including the effects of national and international security concerns such as war, terrorism or the threat thereof. In addition, market disruptions due to severe weather conditions, natural disasters, health hazards or other major events or the prospect of these events could also impact consumer spending and confidence levels. Purchases of women’s intimate and other apparel, beauty and personal care products and accessories often decline during periods when economic or market conditions are unsettled or weak. In such circumstances, we may increase the number of promotional sales, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The decision by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) has increased the uncertainty in the economic and political environment in Europe. In particular, our business in the United Kingdom may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, changes in trade policies, or changes in labor, immigration, tax or other laws.

Extreme weather conditions in the areas in which our stores are located, particularly in markets where we have multiple stores, could adversely affect our business. For example, heavy snowfall, rainfall or other extreme weather conditions over a prolonged period might make it difficult for our customers to travel to our stores and thereby reduce our sales and profitability.

Our net sales, operating income, cash and inventory levels fluctuate on a seasonal basis.

We experience major seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating income, with a significant portion of our operating income typically realized during the fourth quarter holiday season. Any decrease in sales or margins during this period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Seasonal fluctuations also affect our cash and inventory levels, since we usually order merchandise in advance of peak selling periods and sometimes before new fashion trends are confirmed by customer purchases. We must carry a significant amount of inventory, especially before the holiday season selling period. If we are not successful in selling inventory, we may have to sell the inventory at significantly reduced prices or may not be able to sell the inventory at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are subject to risks associated with leasing retail space, are generally subject to long-term non-cancelable leases and are required to make substantial lease payments under our operating leases. Any failure to make these lease payments when due may lead to the landlord terminating the lease, which would harm our business, profitability and results of operations.

We do not own any of our stores, but instead lease all of our retail stores under operating leases. Our leases generally have initial terms of 5 years. All of our leases require a fixed annual rent, and some of them require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Most of our leases are “net” leases, which require us to pay all of the cost of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities, and we generally cannot cancel these leases at our option.

Our net sales depend on a volume of traffic to our stores and the availability of suitable lease space.

Most of our stores are located in retail shopping areas including malls and other types of retail centers. Sales at these stores are derived, in part, from the volume of traffic in those retail areas. Our stores benefit

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from the ability of the retail center and other attractions in an area, including “destination” retail stores, to generate consumer traffic in the vicinity of our stores. Sales volume and retail traffic may be adversely affected by factors that we cannot control, such as economic downturns or changes in consumer demographics in a particular area, competition from internet and other retailers and other retail areas where we do not have stores, the closing or decline in popularity of other stores in the shopping areas where our stores are located and the deterioration in the financial condition of the operators of the shopping areas or developers in which our stores are located.

Our ability to grow depends in part on new store openings and existing store remodels and expansions.

Our continued growth and success will depend in part on our ability to open and operate new stores and expand and remodel existing stores on a timely and profitable basis. Accomplishing our new and existing store expansion goals will depend upon a number of factors, including the ability to partner with developers and landlords to obtain suitable sites for new and expanded stores at acceptable costs, the hiring and training of qualified personnel and the integration of new stores into existing operations. There can be no assurance we will be able to achieve our store expansion goals, manage our growth effectively, successfully integrate the planned new stores into our operations or operate our new, remodeled and expanded stores profitably. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our plans for international expansion include risks that could impact our results and reputation.

We intend to further expand into international markets through partner arrangements and/or company-owned stores. The risks associated with our expansion into international markets include difficulties in attracting customers due to a lack of customer familiarity with our brands, our lack of familiarity with local customer preferences and seasonal differences in the market. Further, entry into other markets may bring us into competition with new competitors or with existing competitors with an established market presence. Other risks include general economic conditions in specific countries or markets, volatility in the geopolitical landscape, restrictions on the repatriation of funds held internationally, disruptions or delays in shipments, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, political instability and foreign governmental regulation. Such expansions will also have upfront investment costs that may not be accompanied by sufficient revenues to achieve typical or expected operational and financial performance.

We also have risks related to identifying suitable partners. In addition, certain aspects of these arrangements are not directly within our control, such as the ability of these third parties to meet their projections regarding store openings and sales and their compliance with federal and local law. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our performance may be affected by general economic conditions and financial difficulties.

Our performance is subject to worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending. Some of the factors that have, or have had, an impact on discretionary consumer spending include general economic conditions, employment, consumer debt, changes in personal net worth based on changes in securities market price levels, residential real estate and mortgage markets, taxation, healthcare costs, fuel and energy prices, interest rates, credit availability, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors.

The worldwide apparel industry is heavily influenced by general economic cycles. Apparel retailing is a cyclical industry that is heavily dependent upon the overall level of consumer spending. Purchases of specialty apparel and related goods tend to be highly correlated with the cycles of the levels of disposable income of consumers. As a result, any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions could materially and adversely affect our net sales and results of operations. Downturns, or the expectation of a downturn, in general economic conditions could materially and adversely affect consumer spending patterns, our sales and our results of operations.

Consumer purchases of discretionary items generally decline during recessionary periods and other periods where disposable income is adversely affected. Any downturn in the economy may affect consumer purchases of our merchandise and have an adverse impact on our sales, results of operations and cash flow.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because apparel generally is a discretionary purchase, declines in consumer spending may have a more negative effect on apparel retailers than on other retailers. A decline in consumer spending may negatively affect our profitability.

Future increases in interest rates or other tightening of the credit markets, or future turmoil in the financial markets, could make it more difficult for us to access funds, to refinance our indebtedness (if necessary), to enter into agreements for new indebtedness, or to obtain funding through the issuance of our securities. Any such adverse changes in the credit or financial markets could also impact the ability of our suppliers to access liquidity, or could result in the insolvency of suppliers, which in turn could lead to their failure to deliver our merchandise. Worsening economic conditions could also result in difficulties for financial institutions (including bank failures) and other parties that we may do business with, which could potentially impair our ability to access financing under existing arrangements or to otherwise recover amounts as they become due under our other contractual arrangements. Additionally, either as a result of, or independent of, any financial difficulties and economic weakness in the United States, material fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a negative impact on our business.

We may be impacted by our ability to service or refinance our debt.

We currently have substantial indebtedness. Some of our debt agreements contain covenants which require maintenance of certain financial ratios and also, under certain conditions, restrict our ability to pay dividends, repurchase common shares and make other restricted payments as defined in those agreements. Our cash flow from operations provides the primary source of funds for our debt service payments. If our cash flow from operations declines, we may be unable to service or refinance our current debt.

If we do not comply with the terms of our existing debt agreements, and such debt agreements cannot be amended or replaced with new indebtedness, we may be in default of our obligations under such debt agreements.

Our existing debt agreements (including our credit facility and our term loan agreement) contain a number of affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties. We have, in the past, been required to seek waivers of compliance with, or amendments of, certain of the financial covenants in the debt agreements, and we may be required to seek such waivers or amendments in the future. Our ability to meet these financial covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that the lenders will grant any required waivers under, or amendments to, the debt agreements if for any reason we are unable to meet the requirements of such covenants.

If we fail to comply with covenants, representations or warranties under our debt agreements and do not either receive a waiver or amendment from our lenders or refinance the indebtedness subject to such agreements, such failure could trigger a default under our debt agreements. If we default, the lenders under those debt agreements could declare all borrowings owed to them, including accrued interest and other fees, to be due and payable, which declaration could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations and may adversely impact our ability to consummate the Transactions.

Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and control regulations.

Our business has substantial international components that expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. Changes in exchange rates can impact our financial results in two ways: a translation impact and a transaction impact. The translation impact refers to the impact that changes in exchange rates can have on our financial results, as our operating results in local foreign currencies are translated into New Zealand dollars using an average exchange rate over the representative period. Accordingly, during times of a strengthening New Zealand dollar, particularly against the Australian dollar, the Euro, the British pound sterling and the US dollar, our results of operations will be negatively impacted, and during times of a weakening New Zealand dollar, our results of operations will be favorably impacted.

The transaction impact on financial results is common for apparel companies operating outside the United States that purchase goods in U.S. dollars, as is the case with most of our foreign operations. During times of a strengthening U.S. dollar, our results of operations will be negatively impacted from these transactions as the increased local currency value of inventory results in higher cost of goods sold in local

TABLE OF CONTENTS

currency when the goods are sold, and during times of a weakening U.S. dollar, our results of operations will be favorably impacted. We also have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain intercompany transactions and, to a lesser extent, SG&A expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a particular entity. We currently use and plan to continue to use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to mitigate the cash flow or market value risks associated with these inventory and intercompany transactions, but we are unable to entirely eliminate these risks.

We are also exposed to market risk for changes in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar in connection with our business as a licensee. Most of our license agreements require us to pay in Unites States dollars based on the exchange rate as of the last day of the contractual selling period but the sales are reported in the relevant territories’ local currencies. Thus we are exposed to exchange rate changes during and up to the last day of the selling period. In addition, we are exposed to exchange rate changes up to the date we make payment in U.S. dollars. As a result, during times of a strengthening U.S. dollar, our royalty fees will be positively impacted, and during times of a weakening U.S. dollar, our royalty fees will be negatively impacted.

We conduct business, directly or through licensees and other partners, in countries that are or have been subject to exchange rate control regulations and have, as a result, experienced difficulties in receiving payments owed to us when due, with amounts left unpaid for extended periods of time. Although the amounts to date have been immaterial to our results, as our international businesses grow and if controls are enacted or enforced in additional countries, there can be no assurance that such controls would not have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles

Generally accepted accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of certified Public Accountants, the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change.

While we believe we have taken the steps necessary to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we can give no assurance that any material weaknesses will arise in the future

Any material weakness or other deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may affect our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis and to comply with disclosure obligations or cause our consolidated financial statements to contain material mistatements, which could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Investors relying upon our consolidated financial statements may make a misinformed investment decision.

Acquisitions may not be successful in achieving intended benefits, cost savings and synergies.

One component of our growth strategy has been to make acquisitions. Prior to completing any acquisition, our management team identifies expected synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities but, due to legal and business limitations, we may not have access to all necessary information. The integration process may be complex, costly and time-consuming. The potential difficulties of integrating the operations of an acquired business and realizing our expectations for an acquisition, including the benefits that may be realized, include, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have completed acquisitions that have not performed as well as initially expected and cannot assure you that any acquisition will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The loss of the services of Justin Davis-Rice, members of our executive management team, or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Justin Davis-Rice’s leadership in the design and marketing areas of our business has been a critical element of our success since our inception. The death or disability of Mr. Davis-Rice or other extended or permanent loss of his services, or any negative market or industry perception with respect to him or arising from his loss, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We also depend on the service and management experience of other key executive officers and other members of senior management who have substantial experience and expertise in our industry and our business and have made significant contributions to our growth and success. The loss of the services of any of our key executive officers or other members of senior management, or one or more of our other key personnel, or the concurrent loss of several of these individuals or any negative public perception with respect to these individuals, could also have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are not protected by a material amount of key-man or similar life insurance covering our executive officers, including Mr. Davis-Rice, or other members of senior management. We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers, but competition for experienced executives in our industry is intense and the non-compete period with respect to certain of our executive officers could, in some circumstances in the event of their termination of employment with our company, end prior to the employment term set forth in their employment agreements.

We rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide fabrics for and to produce our products, and we have limited control over them and may not be able to obtain quality products on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity.

We do not manufacture our products or the raw materials for them and rely instead on third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Many of the specialty fabrics used in our products are technically advanced textile products developed and manufactured by third parties and may be available, in the short-term, from only one or a very limited number of sources. We may experience a significant disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, we may be unable to locate alternative materials suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. In addition, if we experience significant increased demand, or if we need to replace an existing supplier manufacturer, we may be unable to locate additional suppliers of fabrics or raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity on

TABLE OF CONTENTS

terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or we may be unable to locate any supplier or manufacturer with sufficient capacity to meet our requirements or to fill our orders in a timely manner. Identifying a suitable supplier is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with their quality control, responsiveness and service, financial stability and labor and other ethical practices. Even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or fabric sources, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products and quality control standards. Delays related to supplier changes could also arise due to an increase in shipping times if new suppliers are located farther away from other participants in our supply chain. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of fabric or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand for our products and result in lower net revenue and income from operations both in the short and long term. We have occasionally received, and may in the future continue to receive, shipments of products that fail to comply with our technical specifications or that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In that event, unless we are able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we risk the loss of net revenue resulting from the inability to sell those products and related increased administrative and shipping costs. If defects in the manufacture of our products are not discovered until after our customers purchase such products, our customers could lose confidence in the technical attributes of our products and our results of operations could suffer and our business could be harmed.

The fluctuating cost of raw materials could increase our cost of goods sold and cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

The fabrics used by our suppliers and manufacturers include synthetic fabrics whose raw materials include petroleum-based products. Our products also include natural fibers, including cotton. Our costs for raw materials are affected by, among other things, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. Increases in the cost of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our cost of goods sold, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

If we are unable to safeguard against security breaches with respect to our information systems our business may be adversely affected.

In the course of our business, we gather, transmit and retain confidential information, including personal information about our customers, and process payment transactions through our information systems. Although we endeavor to protect confidential information and payment information through the implementation of security technologies, processes and procedures, it is possible that an individual or group could defeat security measures and access sensitive information about our customers, employees and other third parties. Any misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information gathered, stored or used by us could have a material impact on the operation of our business, including damaging our reputation with our customers, employees, third parties and investors. We could also incur significant costs implementing additional security measures to comply with applicable federal, state or international laws and regulations governing the unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as well as increased costs such as organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees or engaging consultants. In addition, we could incur lost revenues and face increased litigation as a result of any potential cyber-security breach. We are not aware of that we have experienced any material misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as a result of a cyber-security breach or other act, however, a cyber-security breach or other act and/or disruption to our information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Our fabrics and manufacturing technology are not patented and can be imitated by our competitors.

The intellectual property rights in the technology, fabrics and processes used to manufacture our products are owned or controlled by our suppliers and are generally not unique to us. Our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our products is therefore limited and we currently own no patents or exclusive intellectual property rights in the technology, fabrics or processes underlying our products. As a result, our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

current and future competitors are able to manufacture and sell products with performance characteristics, fabrics and styling similar to our products. Because many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources than we do, they may be able to manufacture and sell products based on our fabrics and manufacturing technology at lower prices than we can. If our competitors do sell similar products to ours at lower prices, our net revenue and profitability could suffer.

Our failure or inability to protect our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brand and weaken our competitive position.

We currently rely on trademarks, as well as confidentiality procedures, to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent infringement of such rights by others, including imitation of our products and misappropriation of our brand. In addition, intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as in the United States, Canada or the European Union, and it may be more difficult for us to successfully challenge the use of our intellectual property rights by other parties in these countries. If we fail to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, the value of our brand could be diminished and our competitive position may suffer.

We may be impacted by changes in taxation, trade and other regulatory requirements.

We are subject to income tax in local, national and international jurisdictions. In addition, our products are subject to import and excise duties and/or sales or value-added taxes in many jurisdictions. We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. Fluctuations in tax rates and duties, changes in tax legislation or regulation or adverse outcomes of these examinations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We have significant tax losses arising on historical trading losses. The availability to utilize these tax losses to offset future taxable profit is dependent on future performance and trade of the business. There can be no assurance as to the availability of these losses for utilization.

There is increased uncertainty with respect to tax policy and trade relations between the U.S. and other countries. Major developments in tax policy or trade relations, such as the disallowance of tax deductions for imported merchandise or the imposition of unilateral tariffs on imported products, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our current operations in international markets and our efforts to expand into additional international markets, and any earnings in those markets, may be affected by legal and regulatory risks.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, in addition to the anti-corruption laws of the foreign countries in which we operate and manufacture our products. Although we implement policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with these laws, our employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation could result in sanctions or other penalties and have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and operating results.

We may be subject to loss and theft.

Our merchandise is subject to loss, including those caused by illegal or unethical conduct by associates, customers, vendors or unaffiliated third parties. We have experienced events such as inventory shrinkage in the past, and we cannot assure that incidences of loss and theft will decrease in the future or that the measures we are taking will effectively reduce these losses. Higher rates of loss or increased security costs to combat theft could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We could have failures in our system of internal controls causing us to inaccurately report our financial results or to fail to prevent fraud.

We cannot assure you that there will not be any control deficiencies in the future. Should we become aware of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, we would report them to the Audit Committee and recommend prompt remediation. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that our controls are adequate in the future or that adequate controls will be effective in preventing fraud. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. Any failures in the effectiveness of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results or cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations.

A portion of our revenue is dependent on royalties and licensing.

License arrangements exist for Heidi Klum, Stella McCartney and Fredericks of Hollywood that contributed revenue of 30%, 9% and 14% of group sales, respectively, in the seven month period to January 31, 2017. The gross margin contribution during this period was 29%, 9%, and 19%, respectively, of total group gross margin.

The operating profit associated with our royalty, advertising and other revenue is significant because the operating expenses directly associated with administering and monitoring an individual licensing or similar agreement are minimal. Therefore, the loss of a significant licensing partner, whether due to the termination or expiration of the relationship, the cessation of the licensing partner’s operations or otherwise (including as a result of financial difficulties of the partner), without an equivalent replacement, could materially impact our profitability.

While we generally have significant control over our licensing partners’ products and advertising, we rely on our licensing partners for, among other things, operational and financial controls over their businesses. Our licensing partners’ failure to successfully market licensed products or our inability to replace our existing licensing partners could materially and adversely affect our revenue both directly from reduced royalty and advertising and other revenue received and indirectly from reduced sales of our other products. Risks are also associated with our licensing partners’ ability to obtain capital, execute their business plans, timely deliver quality products, manage their labor relations, maintain relationships with their suppliers, manage their credit risk effectively and maintain relationships with their customers.

A significant shift in the relative sources of our earnings, adverse decisions of tax authorities or changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flow.

We have direct operations in many countries and the applicable tax rates vary by jurisdiction. As a result, our overall effective tax rate could be materially affected by the relative level of earnings in the various taxing jurisdictions to which our earnings are subject. In addition, the tax laws and regulations in the countries where we operate may be subject to change and there may be changes in interpretation and enforcement of tax law. As a result, we may pay additional taxes if tax rates increase or if tax laws, regulations or treaties in the jurisdictions where we operate are modified by the competent authorities in an adverse manner.

In addition, various national and local taxing authorities periodically examine us and our subsidiaries. The resolution of an examination or audit may result in us paying more than the amount that we may have reserved for a particular tax matter, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition and results of operations for any affected reporting period.

We and our subsidiaries are engaged in a number of intercompany transactions. Although we believe that these transactions reflect arm’s length terms and that proper transfer pricing documentation is in place, which should be respected for tax purposes, the transfer prices and conditions may be scrutinized by local tax authorities, which could result in additional tax liabilities.

Bendon has identified material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting.

We have identified material weaknesses that existed as of January 31, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting, such that if there is a material misstatement in our financial statements, they will not necessarily be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were:

We believe that these material weaknesses primarily related to our lack of board oversight and appropriately skilled resources. While these material weaknesses resulted in errors that were material to our financial statements, it impacted our company’s ability to close financial reporting on a timely basis and resulted in numerous late amendments to draft financial statements.

The introduction of a properly constituted Board with diverse skills and talent will manage the risks across the business. We delayed implementing the appointment of an appropriately qualified personnel on the basis we are preparing to merge with Naked which has on its Board a newly appointed Independent Non Executive Director and we will also provide appropriate support for our CFO and/or appoint an appropriately skilled and experienced CFO.

We plan to take a number of actions to correct these material weaknesses upon going public including, but not limited to, appointing independent directors, establishing an independent Audit Committee, adding experienced accounting and financial personnel and retaining third party consultants to review our internal controls and recommend improvements.

Our efforts to remediate these material weaknesses may not be effective. If our efforts to remediate these material weaknesses are not successful, the remediated material weaknesses may reoccur, or other material weaknesses could occur in the future.

As a result of these material weaknesses, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately on a timely basis, which could cause our reported financial results to be materially misstated and result in the loss of investor confidence and could cause the stock price to decline.

As a result of such failures, we could also become subject to investigation by the stock exchange on which our shares are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors, which would harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results or operations, and divert financial and management recoveries from our core business.

The material weaknesses will require management to devote significant time and incur significant expenses to remediate the material weaknesses and they might not be able to remediate the weaknesses in a timely manner.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, if and when required, may reveal additional deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our consolidated financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. If in the future we identify other material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including at some of our acquired companies, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are then listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

Additionally, we currently do not have an internal audit group nor an Audit Committee of our board of directors, and we will eventually need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge to have effective internal controls for financial reporting.

Risks Related to Naked’s Business and Operations

As used in the risks described in this subsection, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to Naked and its subsidiaries unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

All figures presented below are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our company or future operations.

We are still in the initial stages of our business plan. As a result, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate the business successfully. For the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, our net revenues were $1,842,065 and $1,389,414, respectively. Naked commenced operations in 2010 and, since beginning operations, we have generated limited total revenues. As a relatively new company, we are subject to many risks associated with the initial organization, financing, expenditures and impediments inherent in a new business and there is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful.

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow that may continue into the foreseeable future. If we fail to execute our strategy to achieve and maintain profitability in the future, investors could lose confidence in the value of our ordinary shares, which could cause our stock price to decline and adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. Investors should evaluate an investment in our company in light of the obstacles that may be encountered by a start-up company in a competitive market.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our growth or cease our development plans and operations.

The operation of our business and our growth efforts will require significant cash outlays. We are largely dependent on outside capital to implement our business plan and support our operations. We anticipate for the foreseeable future that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our cash requirements, and that we will need to raise additional capital through investments to fund our operations and growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional working capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our growth efforts, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you may lose all your investment. Financings, including future equity investments, if obtained, may be on terms that are dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new

TABLE OF CONTENTS

investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the price at which you purchase your shares. Furthermore, the terms of securities issued in a financing, if obtained, may be more favorable for new investors.

Investors should be aware that the value of an investment in our company may go down as well as up. In addition, there can be no certainty that the market value of an investment in our company will fully reflect its underlying value.

Naked’s auditors’ report on the January 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements included an explanatory paragraph regarding there being substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.

For the year ended January 31, 2017, Naked incurred a net loss of ($10,798,503). We anticipate generating losses for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about Naked’s ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern, as noted by our auditors with respect to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2017. Although our consolidated financial statements raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, they do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue our business. If Naked cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

We have a concentration of sales to key customers and any substantial reduction in sales to these customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.

During the year ended January 31, 2017, sales were concentrated with Bloomingdales and Nordstrom, which accounted for 14% and 12%, respectively, of our net sales. In fiscal 2016, Nordstrom accounted for 41% of our net sales. The decline in percentage of sales to Nordstrom during fiscal 2017 is partly due to a reduction by Nordstrom in replenishment due to the elimination of in-store inventory, but more significantly is due to the addition of other key departments store and specialty store accounts, and the corresponding increase in overall net sales. Nordstrom and Bloomingdales are currently of key importance to our business and our results of operations would be materially adversely affected if these relationships ceased. Although we have diversified our customers and continue to receive increasing sales orders from existing customers, these customers do not have any ongoing purchase commitment agreement with us; therefore, we cannot guarantee that the volume of sales will remain consistent going forward. Any substantial change in purchasing decisions by these customers, whether due to actions by our competitors, industry factors or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial condition.

We operate in a highly competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenue and profitability.

The market for innerwear products is highly competitive. Competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins or lost market share or a failure to grow our market share, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. We compete directly against wholesalers and direct retailers of innerwear products, including large, diversified companies with substantial market share and strong worldwide brand recognition, such as Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren, 2(x)ist, Hugo Boss, Tommy John, Saxx Giorgio Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, DKNY, Natori, Free People, Hanky Panky, Commando, Cosabella, MeUndies, Bread&Boxers, Frigo and others. Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including longer operating histories, larger and broader customer bases, more established relationships with a broader set of suppliers, greater brand recognition and greater financial, research and development, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be able to achieve and maintain brand awareness and market share more quickly and effectively than we can. Many of our competitors promote their brands through traditional forms of advertising, such as print media and television commercials, and through celebrity endorsements, and have greater and substantial resources to devote to such efforts. Our competitors may also create and maintain brand awareness using traditional forms of advertising more quickly than we can. Our competitors may also be able to increase sales in their new and existing markets faster than we can by emphasizing different distribution channels than we do, such as catalog sales or an extensive franchise network, as opposed to distribution through retail stores, wholesale or internet, and many of our competitors have substantial resources to devote toward increasing sales in such ways.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales and profitability.

Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. We may be unable to introduce new products in a timely manner. Our customers may not accept our new products including our recently launched women’s products, or our competitors may introduce similar products in a more timely fashion. Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower sales and excess inventory levels. Even if we are successful in anticipating consumer preferences, our ability to adequately react to and address those preferences will in part depend upon our continued ability to develop and introduce innovative, high-quality products. Our failure to effectively introduce new products that are accepted by consumers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

If we are unable to obtain or maintain our endorsements by professional athletes and celebrities, our ability to market and sell our products may be harmed.

An important element of our marketing strategy is to obtain endorsements from prominent athletes and celebrities, which may contribute to the image of our brands. To date, we have entered into one celebrity endorsement agreement with Dwyane Wade, an NBA basketball player. We believe that this strategy is and will continue to be an effective means of gaining brand exposure worldwide and creating broad appeal for our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our existing relationships with Dwyane Wade and other individuals in the future or that we will be able to attract new athletes and celebrities to endorse our products. We also are subject to risks related to the selection of athletes and celebrities whom we choose to endorse our products. We may select athletes who are unable to perform at expected levels or who are not sufficiently marketable. In addition, negative publicity concerning any of our athletes and celebrities could harm our brand and adversely impact our business. If we are unable in the future to secure prominent athletes and celebrities and arrange endorsements of our products on terms we deem to be reasonable, we may be required to modify our marketing platform and to rely more heavily on other forms of marketing and promotion, which may not prove to be effective. In any event, our inability to obtain endorsements from professional athletes and celebrities could adversely affect our ability to market and sell our products, resulting in loss of revenues and a loss of profitability.

An economic downturn or economic uncertainty in our key markets may adversely affect consumer discretionary spending and demand for our products.

Many of our products may be considered discretionary items for consumers. Factors affecting the level of consumer spending for such discretionary items include general economic conditions, particularly those in the United States, and other factors such as consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession, the availability of consumer credit, levels of unemployment, tax rates and the cost of consumer credit. As global economic conditions continue to be volatile or economic uncertainty remains, trends in consumer discretionary spending also remain unpredictable and subject to reductions due to credit constraints and uncertainties about the future. The current volatility in the United States economy in particular has resulted in an overall slowing in growth in the retail sector because of decreased consumer spending, which may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. These unfavorable economic conditions may lead consumers to delay or reduce purchase of our products. Consumer demand for our products may not reach our sales targets, or may decline, when there is an economic downturn or economic uncertainty in our key markets, particularly in North America. Our sensitivity to economic cycles and any related fluctuation in consumer demand may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Our sales and profitability may decline as a result of increasing product costs and decreasing selling prices.

Our business is subject to significant pressure on pricing and costs caused by many factors, including intense competition, constrained sourcing capacity and related inflationary pressure, pressure from consumers to reduce the prices we charge for our products and changes in consumer demand. These factors may cause us to experience increased costs, reduce our sales prices to consumers or experience reduced sales in response to increased prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions, operating results and cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our results of operations could be materially harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast customer demand for our products.

To ensure adequate inventory supply, we must forecast inventory needs and place orders with our manufacturers based on our estimates of future demand for particular products. Our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products could be affected by many factors, including an increase or decrease in customer demand for our products or for products of our competitors, our failure to accurately forecast customer acceptance of new products, product introductions by competitors, unanticipated changes in general market conditions, and weakening of economic conditions or consumer confidence in future economic conditions. If we fail to accurately forecast customer demand we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of products available for sale in our stores or for delivery to customers. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which would adversely affect our results of operations and could impair the strength and exclusivity of our brand. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand for our products, our manufacturers may not be able to deliver products to meet our requirements, and this could result in damage to our reputation and customer relationships.

We rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide fabrics for and to produce our products, and we have limited control over them and may not be able to obtain quality products on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity.

We do not manufacture our products or the raw materials for them and rely instead on third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Many of the specialty fabrics used in our products are technically advanced textile products developed and manufactured by third parties and may be available, in the short-term, from only one or a very limited number of sources. We may experience a significant disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, we may be unable to locate alternative materials suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. In addition, if we experience significant increased demand, or if we need to replace an existing supplier manufacturer, we may be unable to locate additional suppliers of fabrics or raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or we may be unable to locate any supplier or manufacturer with sufficient capacity to meet our requirements or to fill our orders in a timely manner. Identifying a suitable supplier is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with their quality control, responsiveness and service, financial stability and labor and other ethical practices. Even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or fabric sources, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products and quality control standards. Delays related to supplier changes could also arise due to an increase in shipping times if new suppliers are located farther away from other participants in our supply chain. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of fabric or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand for our products and result in lower net revenue and income from operations both in the short and long term. We have occasionally received, and may in the future continue to receive, shipments of products that fail to comply with our technical specifications or that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In that event, unless we are able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we risk the loss of net revenue resulting from the inability to sell those products and related increased administrative and shipping costs. If defects in the manufacture of our products are not discovered until after our customers purchase such products, our customers could lose confidence in the technical attributes of our products and our results of operations could suffer and our business could be harmed.

The fluctuating cost of raw materials could increase our cost of goods sold and cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

The fabrics used by our suppliers and manufacturers include synthetic fabrics whose raw materials include petroleum-based products. Our products also include natural fibers, including cotton. Our costs for raw materials are affected by, among other things, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. Increases in the cost of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our cost of goods sold, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our ability to source our merchandise profitably or at all could be hurt if new trade restrictions are imposed or existing trade restrictions become more burdensome.

The United States and the countries in which our products are produced or sold internationally have imposed and may impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions or regulations, or may adversely adjust prevailing quota, duty or tariff levels. Countries impose, modify and remove tariffs and other trade restrictions in response to a diverse array of factors, including global and national economic and political conditions, which make it impossible for us to predict future developments regarding tariffs and other trade restrictions. Trade restrictions, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, safeguards and customs restrictions, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of products available to us or may require us to modify our supply chain organization or other current business.

Our operating results are subject to seasonal and quarterly variations in our net revenue from operations, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant seasonal variations in our net revenue from operations. Seasonal variations in our net revenue are primarily related to increased sales of our products during our fiscal fourth quarter, reflecting our historical strength in sales during the holiday season.

Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of other factors, including, among other things, net revenue and profits contributed by new retailers; increases or decreases in comparable sales; changes in our product mix; and the timing of new advertising and new product introductions.

As a result of these seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, we believe that comparisons of our operating results between different quarters within a single fiscal year are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of our future performance.

We began selling our products in Canada in January 2010. Our limited operating history and nature as a developing company make it difficult to assess the impact of seasonal factors on our business or whether or not our business is susceptible to cyclical fluctuations in the economy in the markets in which we operate. Likewise, our growth may have obscured the effect of any seasonal or cyclical factors on our business to date. Seasonal or cyclical variations in our business may become more pronounced over time and may harm our results of operations in the future.

Any future seasonal or quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations may not match the expectations of market analysts and investors. Disappointing quarterly results could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Seasonal or quarterly factors in our business and results of operations may also make it more difficult for market analysts and investors to assess the longer-term strength of our business at any particular point, which could lead to increased volatility in our stock price. Increased volatility could cause our stock price to suffer in comparison to less volatile investments.

If we are unable to adequately demonstrate that our independent manufacturers use ethical business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations, our brand image could be harmed due to negative publicity.

Our core values, which include developing the highest quality products while operating with integrity, are an important component of our brand image, which makes our reputation particularly sensitive to allegations of unethical business practices. While our internal and vendor operating guidelines promote ethical business practices such as environmental responsibility, fair wage practices, and compliance with child labor laws, among others, and we, along with a third party that we retain for this purpose, monitor compliance with those guidelines, we do not control our independent manufacturers or their business practices. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee their compliance with our guidelines. A lack of demonstrated compliance could lead us to seek alternative suppliers, which could increase our costs and result in delayed delivery of our products, product shortages or other disruptions of our operations. Violation of labor or other laws by our independent manufacturers or the divergence of an independent manufacturer’s labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the United States, Canada or other markets in which we do business could also attract negative publicity for us and our brand. This could diminish the value of our brand image and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reduce demand for our merchandise if, as a result of such violation, we were to attract negative publicity. Other apparel manufacturers have encountered significant problems in this regard, and these problems have resulted in organized boycotts of their products and significant adverse publicity. If we, or other manufacturers in our industry, encounter similar problems in the future, it could harm our brand image, stock price and results of operations.

Our limited operating experience and limited brand recognition in new international markets may limit our expansion strategy and cause our business and growth to suffer.

Our future growth depends, to an extent, on our international expansion efforts. We have limited experience with regulatory environments and market practices internationally, and we may not be able to penetrate or successfully operate in any new market. We may also encounter difficulty expanding into new international markets because of limited brand recognition leading to delayed acceptance of our products by customers in these new international markets. Our failure to develop new international markets or disappointing growth outside of existing markets will harm our business and results of operations.

Our current operations in international markets and our efforts to expand into additional international markets, and any earnings in those markets, may be affected by legal and regulatory risks.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, in addition to the anti-corruption laws of the foreign countries in which we operate and manufacture our products. Although we implement policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with these laws, our employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation could result in sanctions or other penalties and have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and operating results.

Our success depends on our ability to maintain the value and reputation of our brand.

Our success depends on the value and reputation of the Naked brand. The Naked name is integral to our business as well as to the implementation of our strategies for expanding our business. Maintaining, promoting and positioning our brand will depend largely on the success of our marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high quality customer experience. We rely on social media as one of our marketing strategies to have a positive impact on both our brand value and reputation. Our brand could be adversely affected if we fail to achieve these objectives or if our public image or reputation were to be tarnished by negative publicity. Negative publicity regarding the production methods of any of our suppliers or manufacturers could adversely affect our reputation and sales and force us to locate alternative suppliers or manufacturing sources. Additionally, while we devote considerable efforts and resources to protecting our intellectual property, if these efforts are not successful the value of our brand may be harmed, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Any material disruption of our information systems could disrupt our business and reduce our sales.

We rely on information systems to operate our e-commerce website, process transactions, respond to customer inquiries, manage inventory, purchase, sell and ship goods on a timely basis and maintain cost-efficient operations. Any material disruption or slowdown of our systems, including a disruption or slowdown caused by our failure to successfully upgrade our systems, system failures, viruses, cyber-attack or other causes, could cause information, including data related to customer orders, to be lost or delayed which could result in delays in the delivery of merchandise to our customers or lost sales, which could reduce demand for our merchandise and cause our sales to decline. If changes in technology cause our information systems to become obsolete, or if our information systems are inadequate to handle our growth, we could lose customers. If our systems are damaged, fail to function properly or become obsolete, we may have to make monetary investments to repair or replace the systems, and we could endure delays in our operations.

If we are unable to safeguard against security breaches with respect to our information systems our business may be adversely affected.

In the course of our business, we gather, transmit and retain confidential information, including personal information about our customers, and process payment transactions through our information systems. Although we endeavor to protect confidential information and payment information through the implementation of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

security technologies, processes and procedures, it is possible that an individual or group could defeat security measures and access sensitive information about our customers, employees and other third parties. Any misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information gathered, stored or used by us could have a material impact on the operation of our business, including damaging our reputation with our customers, employees, third parties and investors. We could also incur significant costs implementing additional security measures to comply with applicable federal, state or international laws and regulations governing the unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as well as increased costs such as organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees or engaging consultants. In addition, we could incur lost revenues and face increased litigation as a result of any potential cyber-security breach. We are not aware of that we have experienced any material misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as a result of a cyber-security breach or other act, however, a cyber-security breach or other act and/or disruption to our information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Our fabrics and manufacturing technology are not patented and can be imitated by our competitors.

The intellectual property rights in the technology, fabrics and processes used to manufacture our products are owned or controlled by our suppliers and are generally not unique to us. Our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our products is therefore limited and we currently own no patents or exclusive intellectual property rights in the technology, fabrics or processes underlying our products. As a result, our current and future competitors are able to manufacture and sell products with performance characteristics, fabrics and styling similar to our products. Because many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources than we do, they may be able to manufacture and sell products based on our fabrics and manufacturing technology at lower prices than we can. If our competitors do sell similar products to ours at lower prices, our net revenue and profitability could suffer.

Our failure or inability to protect our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brand and weaken our competitive position.

We currently rely on trademarks, as well as confidentiality procedures, to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent infringement of such rights by others, including imitation of our products and misappropriation of our brand. In addition, intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as in the United States, Canada or the European Union, and it may be more difficult for us to successfully challenge the use of our intellectual property rights by other parties in these countries. If we fail to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, the value of our brand could be diminished and our competitive position may suffer.

Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management.

Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees, particularly our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Creative Officer, Carole Hochman. The loss of the services of our senior management or other key employees could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and achieve our business goals. We also may be unable to retain existing personnel that are critical to our success, which could result in harm to our customer and employee relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs.

Because a portion of our sales may be generated in foreign countries, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may negatively affect our results of operations.

The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. In the future, we expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our net revenue in foreign countries, and changes in exchange rates between the currencies for those countries and the US dollar may have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our primary risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the US dollar and the currencies for those

TABLE OF CONTENTS

countries. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change.

While we believe we have taken the steps necessary to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we can give no assurance that any material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

Any material weakness or other deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may affect our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis and to comply with disclosure obligations or cause our consolidated financial statements to contain material misstatements, which could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Investors relying upon our consolidated financial statements may make a misinformed investment decision.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, holders of our common stock may experience dilution in the future.

We are authorized to issue up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 10,342,191 shares are issued and outstanding as of the record date. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.

The stock price of our common stock may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Historically trading in our stock has been thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. Although we believe that the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market has improved the liquidity of our common stock, our stock has been historically characterized by large volatility. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and such other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline and investors in this offering may experience dilution by exercises of outstanding options and warrants.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

As of January 31, 2017, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 2,287,399 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.78 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,627,010 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.29 per share. The exercise of such outstanding options and warrants will result in further dilution of your investment. If our existing stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or if the public perceives that such sales could occur, this could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock, even if there is no relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

We are a former “shell company” and as such are subject to certain limitations not applicable to other public companies generally.

Prior to our acquisition of Naked Inc. in June 2012, we were a public reporting “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Although we are no longer a “shell company,” we are subject to certain restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the resale of securities issued by issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. Specifically, the Rule 144 safe harbor available for the resale of our restricted securities is only available to our stockholders if we have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months, other than current reports on Form 8-K, at the time of the proposed sale, regardless of whether the restricted securities were initially issued at the time we were a shell company or subsequent to termination of such status. Accordingly, holders of our “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 will be subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 144 with respect to our company. Other reporting companies that are not former shell companies and have been reporting for more than twelve months are not subject to this same reporting threshold for non-affiliate reliance on Rule 144.

Accordingly, any restricted securities we have sold or sell in the future or issue to consultants or employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose, may not be resold unless such securities are registered with the SEC or the requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. As a result, it may

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our employees and consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it may be harder for us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the SEC, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our prior status as a “shell company” could prevent us in the future from raising additional funds, engaging employees and consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.

Further, as current and former shell companies and reverse acquisition transactions have been, and remain to some degree, subject to additional scrutiny by the SEC, FINRA and the national securities exchanges, our prior shell company status and the reverse acquisition transaction that terminated it may result in delays in the completion of any offering and our attempt to qualify for and list on a national securities exchange. Specifically, as a former shell company and subject of a reverse acquisition transaction, we may need to demonstrate the ability to maintain a threshold per share market price for an extended trading period in order to qualify for listing on a national securities exchange.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our growth or cease our development plans and operations.

The operation of our business and our growth efforts will require significant cash outlays. We are largely dependent on outside capital to implement our business plan and support our operations. We anticipate for the foreseeable future that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our cash requirements, and that we will need to raise additional capital through investments to fund our operations and growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional working capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our growth efforts, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you may lose all your investment. Financings, including future equity investments, if obtained, may be on terms that are dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the price at which you purchase your shares.

As of January 31, 2017, we had cash totaling $879,014. Subsequent to January 31, 2017, we raised gross proceeds of $5,499,722 through the issuance of stock pursuant to an At The Market Offering Agreement as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 10, 2017 and March 30, 2017. However, we believe that we do not have sufficient capital to fund its operations through the year ending January 31, 2018.

Risks Related to the Merger

Holdco’s shares may not be listed on a securities exchange. Even if listed, Holdco may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

A condition of the Merger Agreement is that Holdco Ordinary Shares be listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE upon consummation of the Transactions. Holdco will be required to meet the initial listing requirements of any such exchange to be listed. Holdco may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if the Holdco Ordinary Shares are so listed, Holdco may be unable to meet the continued listing requirements in the future and accordingly may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities.

If Holdco meets the initial listing requirements, but is unable to meet the continued listing requirements and the Holdco Ordinary Shares are subsequently delisted, Holdco could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

Holdco, the surviving corporation in the Merger, has never previously been a U.S. reporting company.

Holdco, which will be the surviving corporation in the Merger, has never previously been a reporting company in the United States subject to U.S. federal and state securities laws, including the reporting

TABLE OF CONTENTS

obligations of the Exchange Act and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The combined company will be required to increase its compliance efforts and incur significant costs in connection with complying with public company requirements under U.S. federal and state securities laws. The attention of management may be diverted on a frequent basis in order to carry out public company reporting and related obligations, rather than directing their full time and attention to the operation and growth of the business. Employees and some members of the management team have had limited experience working for a U.S. reporting company, increasing the risk of non-compliance. The combined company’s disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud or misconduct by persons inside or outside the combined company. Similarly, if the combined company fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the combined company may not be able to accurately report its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Noncompliance with U.S. federal and state securities laws and other regulatory requirements could result in administrative or other penalties or civil or criminal judgments against the combined company or harm to the combined company’s reputation. These consequences could affect investor confidence in the combined company and cause the price of the stock to decline, result in the delisting of the combined company’s shares from the Nasdaq or NYSE, as applicable, require the payment of fines or other amounts, distract management’s time and attention to the business or result in the loss of customer or supplier relationships.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only, has been prepared based on a number of assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the business combination been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined companies may achieve as a result of the business combination or the costs to combine the operations of Naked and Bendon or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Statements.” It is noted that each of Bendon and Naked has an explanatory paragraph regarding there being substantial doubt about each company’s continuing as a going concern.

Holdco has no operating history. The unaudited pro forma financial information and the historical combined financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of actual results as a combined company, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate the combined company and your investment decision.

Bendon and Naked have no prior history as a combined entity and their operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. As a result, the pro forma financial information for the combined company and the combined audited financial statements of Bendon and Naked giving effect to the Merger included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus as presented are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have actually occurred had the Merger been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future operating or financial position of the combined company. The pro forma financial information for the combined company does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues or expense efficiencies. The pro forma financial information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the Merger that Bendon and Naked believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, assumptions used in preparing such financial information may not prove to be accurate over time. Investors should not place any undue reliance on the pro forma financial information of the combined company.

If the adjournment proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the consummation of the Transactions, Naked’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Transactions will not be approved.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Naked’s board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if, based on the tabulated vote, Naked is unable to consummate the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If the adjournment proposal is not approved, Naked’s board will be unable to adjourn the special meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the consummation of the Transactions. In such event, the Transactions would not be completed.

Because the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares that are issuable to the shareholders of Bendon in the Reorganization is adjustable depending on the net debt of Bendon and the net assets of Naked, as finally determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Naked shareholders cannot be certain of the precise percentage ownership of Holdco that they will hold immediately following the closing of the Merger.

The number of Holdco Ordinary Shares that are issuable to the shareholders of Bendon in the Reorganization is adjustable depending on the net debt of Bendon and net assets of Naked, as finally determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement. If it is finally determined that the Naked Closing Net Assets (as defined in the Merger Agreement) are less than the Net Asset Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares issuable to Bendon will be increased by the number equal to the product obtained by multiplying the difference in the asset amount by 11.634. If, however, the Naked Closing Net Assets are greater than the Net Asset Amount, then then the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares issuable to Bendon will be reduced by the same ratio. Additionally, if the Bendon Closing Net Debt (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds the Net Debt Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then then the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares issuable to Bendon will be reduced by the number equal to the product obtained by multiplying the difference in the debt amount by 0.833. If, however, the Bendon Closing Net Debt is less than the Net Debt Amount, then then the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares issuable to Bendon will be increased by the same ratio. Since the Naked Closing Net Assets and Bendon Closing Net Debt will not be determined until the closing of the Merger, Naked stockholders cannot be certain of the exact percentage ownership of Holdco that they will hold immediately following the closing of the Merger.

Failure to complete the Merger could harm Naked’s future business and operations.

If the Merger is not completed, Naked is subject to the following risks, among others:

In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the board of directors of Holdco determines to seek another business combination, there can be no assurance that Naked will be able to find a partner willing to provide equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration to be provided by Holdco in the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Bendon and Naked will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Merger.

Bendon and Naked expect to incur material non-recurring expenses in connection with the Merger and consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the course of the integration of the businesses of Bendon and Naked. The parties cannot be certain that the elimination of duplicative costs or the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses will offset the transaction and integration costs in the near term, or at all.

The Merger may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the Merger, industry-wide changes and other causes.

In general, either Naked or Holdco can refuse to complete the Merger if there is a material adverse change affecting the other party between the signing date of the Merger Agreement, and the planned closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Merger, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Naked or Holdco, including the following events (except, in some cases, where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

If adverse changes occur and Naked and Holdco still complete the Merger, the combined company’s stock price may suffer. This in turn may reduce the value of the Merger to the stockholders of Naked.

The pendency of the Merger could materially adversely affect the business and operations of Naked or result in a loss of its employees, which, consequently, could materially adversely affect the business and operations of the combined company.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on employees, customers and suppliers may have an adverse effect on Naked and its business and, consequently, on the combined company. These uncertainties may impair Naked’s ability to attract, retain and motivate employees until the completion of the Merger, which may have a material adverse effect on Naked if the Merger is not completed. If employees depart because of issues concerning employment security and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company, Holdco’s business could be adversely affected. Similarly, uncertainties about the effect of the Merger could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with Naked to change their existing business relationships, which could negatively affect revenues, earnings and cash flows of Naked, as well as the market price of Naked Common Stock, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. The realization of any of these risks may materially adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.

Current stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in the combined company after the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, Naked stockholders are expected to hold approximately 7.0% of the combined company’s outstanding ordinary shares, on a fully diluted basis, immediately following completion of the Transactions. Holdco shareholders and Naked stockholders currently have the right to vote for their respective directors and on other matters affecting the applicable company. When the Merger occurs, each Naked stockholder that receives ordinary shares of the combined company will hold a percentage ownership of the combined company that will be significantly smaller than the stockholder’s current percentage ownership of Naked. The combined company will be controlled by Bendon’s affiliates, which will own approximately 93.0% of all shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. As further discussed below, Bendon

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and its affiliates, will be able to exercise significant influence over the combined company’s business policies and affairs due to its large ownership percentage. As a result of their reduced ownership percentages, former Naked stockholders will have less voting power in the combined company than they now have with respect to Naked.

The lack of a public market for Holdco’s ordinary shares makes it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the Merger, thus the stockholders of Naked may receive consideration in the Merger that is greater than or less than the fair market value of their Naked shares.

The ordinary shares of Holdco are not currently listed and no public market currently exists for the Holdco Ordinary Shares. The lack of a public market makes it extremely difficult to determine the fair market value of Holdco. Because the percentage of Holdco Ordinary Shares to be issued to Naked stockholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the combined company ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Merger may be less than expected.

Bendon and its affiliates will exercise significant influence over the combined company, and their interests in the combined company may be different than yours.

Following the completion of the Merger, Bendon’s affiliates will beneficially own approximately 93.0% of the outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, Bendon’s affiliates will be able to exercise significant influence over the combined company’s business policies and affairs, including the composition of the combined company’s board of directors and any action requiring the approval of the combined company’s shareholders. The interests of Bendon and its affiliates may conflict with your interests. For example, these shareholders may support certain long-term strategies or objectives for the combined company which may not be accretive to shareholders in the short term. The concentration of ownership may also delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of the combined company, even if such a change in control would benefit our other stockholders, and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these parties. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for the combined company’s ordinary shares because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with shareholders who own significant percentages of a company’s outstanding stock.

The combined company may not experience the anticipated strategic benefits of the Merger.

The respective management of Bendon and Merger believe that the Merger would provide certain strategic benefits that may not be realized by each of the companies operating as standalones. Specifically, we believe the Merger would provide certain strategic benefits which would enable each of Bendon and Naked to accelerate their respective business plans through an increased access to capital in the public equity markets, increased management strength and management expertise, access to a larger customer base for the combined sales organization. There can be no assurance that these anticipated benefits of the Merger will materialize or that if they materialize will result in increased shareholder value or revenue stream to the combined company.

Some of the Bendon and Naked officers and directors have interests in the Merger that are different from yours and that may influence them to support or approve the Merger without regard to your interests.

Certain officers of Bendon and Naked participate in arrangements that provide them with interests in the Merger that are different from yours, including, among others, continued service as an executive officer or director of the combined company and the right to continued indemnification for directors, executive officers and former directors and executive officers of Bendon and Naked following the completion of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement limits Naked’s ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger, which could discourage a potential acquirer of Naked from making an alternative transaction proposal and, in certain circumstances, could require Naked to issue to Bendon a substantial number of shares of Naked Common Stock.

Under the Merger Agreement, Naked is restricted, subject to limited exceptions, from pursuing or entering into alternative transactions in lieu of the Merger. In general, unless and until the Merger Agreement is terminated, Naked is restricted from, among other things, soliciting, initiating or knowingly taking any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

action to facilitate or encourage a competing acquisition proposal. The board of directors of Naked is limited in its ability to change its recommendation with respect to the Merger. Naked may terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into an agreement with respect to a superior offer only if specified conditions have been satisfied, including (i) compliance with the non-solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the expiration of certain waiting periods during which Holdco may propose changes to the Merger Agreement so the superior offer is no longer a superior offer and (iii) the issuance to Bendon of 1,250,000 shares of Naked Common Stock (not subject to a registration statement), as adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions affecting Naked Common Stock.

The fairness opinion rendered to the board of directors of Naked by Noble Capital Markets will not reflect changes in circumstances, including general market and economic conditions or the prospects of Naked or Holdco, between the signing the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Merger.

Noble has issued to the Naked board of directors a written opinion, subject to the terms, conditions and qualifications set forth therein, as of the date of execution of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be received by the stockholders of Naked is fair to the stockholders of Naked from a financial point of view. Naked’s board of directors has not obtained an updated fairness opinion as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Importantly, the Noble opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of the opinion, including changes in the operations, performance and prospects of Naked or Holdco, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Naked or Holdco, and on which the fairness opinion was based, that may alter the value of Naked, Bendon or Holdco or the prices of shares of Naked common stock or Holdco Ordinary Shares by the time the Merger is completed. The Noble opinion does not speak as of the time the Merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date of execution of the Merger Agreement. Because Naked does not anticipate asking Noble to update its opinion, the opinion will not address the fairness of the terms the Merger consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the Merger is completed.

Litigation may be instituted against Naked, members of the Naked board of directors, Holdco and members of the Holdco board of directors challenging the Merger, and adverse judgments in these lawsuits may prevent the Merger from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.

Naked, members of the Naked board of directors, Holdco and members of the Holdco board of directors may be named as defendants in class action lawsuits or other proceedings that may be brought by Naked stockholders challenging the Merger. If the plaintiffs in any actions that may be brought are successful, these adverse judgments may prevent the parties from completing the Merger in the expected timeframe, if at all. Even if the plaintiffs in these potential actions are not successful, the costs of defending against such claims could adversely affect the financial condition of Naked or Holdco and such actions could adversely affect the reputations of Naked and Holdco and members of their respective boards of directors or management.

Naked will be subject to various uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending that could adversely affect the financial results of Naked, Holdco and/or the combined company.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on employees, suppliers and customers may have an adverse effect on Naked. These uncertainties may impair Naked’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with Naked to seek to change existing business relationships with Naked. Employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to completion of the Merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company. The pursuit of the Merger and the preparation for the integration of the two companies may place a significant burden on management and internal resources of Naked. Any significant diversion of Naked’s management attention away from its ongoing businesses, and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process, could affect the financial results of Naked.

In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts Naked, without the consent of Holdco, from making certain acquisitions and dispositions and taking other specified actions while the Merger is pending. These restrictions may prevent Naked from pursuing attractive business opportunities and making other changes to their respective businesses prior to completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Holdco Ordinary Shares to be received by Naked stockholders as a result of the Merger will have different rights from the shares of Naked common stock.

Upon completion of the Merger, Naked stockholders will become shareholders of the combined company and their rights as shareholders will be governed by Holdco’s certificate of registration and constitution. The combined company will be an Australian company and certain of the rights associated with the combined company ordinary shares will be different from the rights associated with Naked common stock.

The lack of a public market for Holdco’s shares makes it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the Merger, thus the stockholders of Naked may receive consideration in the Merger that is greater than or less than the fair market value of their Naked shares.

The outstanding ordinary shares of Holdco are privately held and are not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it extremely difficult to determine the fair market value of Holdco. Because the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares to be issued to Naked stockholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the combined company ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Merger may be less than expected.

If the conditions to the completion of the Merger are not met, the Merger will not occur.

Even if the Merger is approved by the stockholders of Naked, additional specific conditions must be satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted under applicable law) in order to complete the Merger, including, among others:

These and other conditions are described in detail in the Merger Agreement. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied. If the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted under applicable law), the Merger will not occur or will be delayed, and Naked may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.

Delays in completing the Merger may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Merger.

Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the Merger may take longer than, and could cost more than, Naked expects. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the Merger may materially adversely affect the benefits that Holdco and Naked expect to achieve from the Merger and the integration of their respective businesses. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, either of Naked and Holdco may terminate the Merger Agreement on notice to the other if the Merger is not completed by December 31, 2017.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Should the Merger not qualify as tax free reorganization, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Naked stockholders and the combined company may recognize income, gain or loss in connection with the Merger.

It is expected that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The parties, however, did not seek a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax consequences of the Merger. The failure of the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes could result in a Naked stockholder recognizing income, gain or loss with respect to the shares of Naked common stock surrendered by such stockholder. The failure of the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes also could result in the recognition of income and gain by Naked, which could adversely affect the performance of the business of the combined company following the Merger.

Failure or delay in obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals could cause the Merger not to be completed or to be postponed.

To complete the Merger and all transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Merger, Holdco must comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and NYSE in connection with the issuance and listing of shares of Holdco Ordinary Shares and the filing of this proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC. Failure or delay in obtaining any necessary approvals could cause the Merger not to be completed or to be postponed, which may materially adversely affect the benefits that Bendon and Naked expect to achieve from the Merger and the integration of their respective businesses.

Naked stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights in the Merger.

Current holders of Naked common stock will not be entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights in the Merger with respect to their shares of Naked common stock under Nevada law. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each share of Naked common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by Naked or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Naked, Inc., which will be cancelled at the Effective Time without further consideration) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive one Holdco Ordinary Share.

The combined company may not be able to meet the listing standards to trade on the Nasdaq or NYSE, which could adversely affect the liquidity and price of the combined company’s common stock.

It is a condition to the consummation of the Merger that the stock of the combined company be listed on the Nasdaq or NYSE following the Merger. The listing qualification standards for new issuers are stringent and, although the combined company may explore various actions to meet the minimum listing requirements, there is no guarantee that any such actions will be successful in bringing it into compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq or NYSE. Even if the stock of the combined company is listed on the Nasdaq or NYSE, no assurance can be given that the combined company will comply with the requirements for continued listing set by the Nasdaq or NYSE at all times in the future. If the combined company fails to comply with the requirements for continued listing set by the Nasdaq or NYSE, the combined company could be delisted from the Nasdaq or NYSE, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition. If the combined company fails to achieve listing of its ordinary shares on the Nasdaq or NYSE, the Merger may not close.

Declines in Holdco’s stock price or financial results could give rise to stockholder litigation and potential liability.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm the combined company’s profitability and reputation.

Holdco is not expected to pay dividends on its shares of ordinary shares in the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, it is expected that the combined company will continue to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business, and not to pay any cash dividends on its ordinary

shares. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in the combined company will be if the market price of the ordinary shares appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit. There is no guarantee that the price of Holdco’s ordinary shares that will prevail in the market after the Merger will ever exceed the value of the Holdco Ordinary Shares exchanged in the Merger.

There may be less publicly available information concerning Holdco than there is for issuers that are not foreign private issuers because it is anticipated that Holdco will be considered a foreign private issuer and will be exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act and will be permitted to file less information with the SEC than issuers that are not foreign private issuers. Holdco, as a foreign private issuer, will be permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq or NYSE, subject to certain exceptions.

A foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, and is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act but are not foreign private issuers, or to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material non-public information. It is anticipated that Holdco will be exempt from certain disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The members of Holdco’s management board, officers and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Holdco than there is for companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act but are not foreign private issuers, and such information may not be provided as promptly as it is provided by such companies.

In addition, certain information may be provided by Holdco in accordance with Australian law, which may differ in substance or timing from such disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act. Further, as a foreign private issuer, under the Nasdaq or NYSE rules Holdco will be subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of Nasdaq and NYSE permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of Nasdaq or NYSE, including, for example, certain internal controls as well as board, committee and director independence requirements. Holdco will be required to disclose any significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic companies under Nasdaq or NYSE listing standards in its annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC or on its website. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are required to comply with all of the Nasdaq or NYSE corporate governance requirements.

Holdco may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As a foreign private issuer, Holdco would not be required to comply with all the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually. There is a risk that Holdco will lose its foreign private issuer status in the future.

Holdco would lose its foreign private issuer status if, for example, more than 50% of its assets are located in the U.S. and Holdco’s continue to fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. The regulatory and compliance costs to Holdco under U.S. securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly greater than the costs Holdco will incur as a foreign private issuer. If Holdco is not a foreign private issuer, it will be required to file periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive in certain respects than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. Holdco would be required under current SEC rules to prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and modify certain of its policies to comply with corporate governance practices associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications would involve additional costs. In addition, Holdco may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements on U.S. stock exchanges that are available to foreign private issuers, which could also increase Holdco’s costs.

Risks Related to an Investment in Holdco Ordinary Shares

Currently, there is no public market for Holdco Ordinary Shares. Naked stockholders cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for or of the market price of the Holdco Ordinary Shares they will receive.

Under the Merger Agreement, each share of Naked Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive one Holdco Ordinary Share. Holdco is newly formed entity and prior to this transaction it has not issued any securities in the U.S. markets or elsewhere nor has there been extensive information about it, its businesses or operations publicly available. Bendon and Holdco have agreed to use their best efforts to cause the Holdco Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq or NYSE prior to the effective time of the Merger and the approval of the listing on the Nasdaq or NYSE of the Holdco Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Merger is a condition to the closing of the Merger. However, the listing of shares on the Nasdaq or NYSE does not assure that a market for the Holdco Ordinary Shares will develop or the price at which the shares will trade. No assurance can be provided as to the demand for or trading price of Holdco Ordinary Shares following the closing of the Merger and the Holdco Ordinary Shares may trade at a price less than the current market price of Naked Common Stock.

Even if the combined company is successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their ordinary shares. If a public market for the combined Holdco’s ordinary shares does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell their ordinary shares, rendering their shares illiquid and possibly resulting in a complete loss of their investment. Holdco cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in the combined company will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. The trading price of and demand for Holdco Ordinary Shares following completion of the Merger and the development and continued existence of a market and favorable price for the Holdco Ordinary Shares will depend on a number of conditions, including the development of a market following, including by analysts and other investment professionals, the businesses, operations, results and prospects of Holdco, general market and economic conditions, governmental actions, regulatory considerations, legal proceedings and developments or other factors. These and other factors may impair the development of a liquid market and the ability of investors to sell shares at an attractive price. These factors also could cause the market price and demand for Holdco Ordinary Shares to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares and may otherwise affect negatively the price and liquidity of Holdco Ordinary Shares. Many of these factors and conditions are beyond the control of Holdco or Holdco shareholders.

Holdco’s share price may be volatile and could decline substantially.

The market price of Holdco’s ordinary shares may be volatile, both because of actual and perceived changes in the company’s financial results and prospects, and because of general volatility in the stock market. The factors that could cause fluctuations in Holdco’s share price may include, among other factors discussed in this section, the following:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, the stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations from time to time, and the market prices of the equity securities of apparel companies have been extremely volatile and are sometimes subject to sharp price and trading volume changes. These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of Holdco’s ordinary shares.

The financial performance, and price of the ordinary shares, of the combined company may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected Naked.

Upon completion of the Merger, holders of Naked common stock will become holders of ordinary shares of Holdco. The business and target markets of Holdco and the combined company differ from those of Naked, and accordingly the results of operations and the price of Holdco Ordinary Shares will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations and stock price of Naked.

The combined company’s stock price is expected to be volatile, and the market price of the combined company ordinary shares may drop following the Merger. The market price of the combined company’s ordinary shares could be subject to significant fluctuations following the Merger. Moreover, stock markets generally have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. Such market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of the combined company’s ordinary shares. Declines in the combined company’s stock price after the Merger may result for a number of reasons including if:

Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, have and may continue to negatively affect the market price of Holdco’s ordinary shares.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about Holdco or its business, its ordinary shares price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the Holdco’s ordinary shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about Holdco or its business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on Holdco. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Holdco, the trading price for its ordinary shares would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover Holdco downgrade its securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, its stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of Holdco or fail to publish reports on Holdco, demand for its ordinary shares could decrease, which might cause its ordinary share price and trading volume to decline.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ANNUAL MEETING OF NAKED STOCKHOLDERS

General

Naked is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by its board of directors for use at the annual meeting of Naked stockholders to be held on [•], 2017, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the annual meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to Naked stockholders on or about [•], 2017.

Date, Time and Place

The annual meeting of stockholders of Naked will be held on [•], 2017, at [•] a.m., local time, at the offices of Duane Morris LLP, Naked’s counsel, located at 1540 Broadway, 14^th floor, New York, New York 10034, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders

At the annual meeting, Naked is asking holders of its common stock:

Recommendation of Naked’s Board of Directors

Naked’s Board of Directors (with Justin Davis-Rice and Edward Hanson recusing themselves) has determined that the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of Naked and its stockholders, approved the Merger Agreement and recommended that stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal and “FOR” an adjournment proposal, if presented.

Naked’s Board of Directors also recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the election of directors proposal and the ratification of appointment of independent auditor proposal. Naked stockholders should understand, however, that if the Transactions are completed, the effect of the approval of the election of directors proposal and the ratification of appointment of independent auditor proposal may be limited since the composition of the Naked board of directors will be changed upon completion of the Transactions and the new Naked board of directors may decide to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm immediately or shortly after completion of the Transactions.

Voting Power; Record Date

Naked has fixed the close of business on [•], 2017, as the “record date” for determining Naked stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the annual meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 10,342,191 shares of Naked common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Naked common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the annual meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Quorum

A quorum of Naked stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting of stockholders. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of Naked common stock constitutes a quorum.

Vote Required

The proposals presented at the annual meeting will require the following votes, assuming the presence of a quorum at the annual meeting:

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions occur when a Naked stockholder marks “abstain” with respect to a particular proposal. Broker non-votes occur when a stockholder that holds its shares in “street name” does not give its broker, bank or other nominee instructions on how to vote its shares on a “non-routine” matter, such as the merger proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal, but will have no effect on the other proposals.

Voting Your Shares

If you are a holder of record of Naked common stock, there are two ways to vote your Naked shares at the annual meeting:

If you hold your shares of Naked common stock in “street name,” you should follow the instructions sent to you by your bank, broker or other nominee in order to vote your shares. If you wish to vote shares held in “street name” in person at the annual meeting, you must contact their bank, broker or other nominee and request a document called a “legal proxy.” Requesting a legal proxy will automatically cancel any voting directions previously given to such bank, broker or other nominee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you do not give instructions to such bank, broker or other nominee, such bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares of Naked common stock with respect to “discretionary” items but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of Nasdaq for which your broker or other agent may vote shares held in “street name” in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker or other agent instructions, the shares of Naked common stock will be treated as broker non-votes. It is anticipated that all proposals other than the adjournment proposal and ratification of appointment of independent auditor proposal will be non-discretionary items.

You may receive more than one set of voting materials. For example, if you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. If you hold your shares in “street name” in more than one brokerage account, you will receive voting materials for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card you receive (or submit a proxy electronically by telephone or internet for each such physical proxy card you receive) and provide instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to each brokerage account for which you receive proxy materials, in order to be sure you cast a vote with respect to all of your shares of Naked common stock.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a holder of record of Naked common stock and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

If you hold your shares of Naked common stock in in “street name,” you may submit new instructions on how to vote your shares by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares, you may call Morrow Sodali, Naked’s proxy solicitor, at (800) 662-5200.

Dissenter’s Rights

Naked stockholders do not have dissenter’s rights under Nevada law in connection with the Transactions.

Proxy Solicitation

Naked is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. Naked will bear all of the costs of the solicitation.

This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Naked and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Naked also has engaged Morrow Sodali to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Naked will pay that firm a fee of $10,000 plus disbursements.

Naked will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Naked will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Matters

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Naked board of directors does not know of any business to be presented at the annual meeting other than as set forth in the notice accompanying this proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters should properly come before the annual meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect to such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE MERGER PROPOSAL

The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus of the Transactions and the principal terms of the Merger Agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus.

General

Structure of the Transactions

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Bendon and Naked will enter into a business combination transaction by means of (i) the Reorganization by Bendon and Holdco pursuant to which all of the shareholders of Bendon will exchange all the outstanding Bendon Ordinary Shares for Holdco Ordinary Shares, and (ii) immediately thereafter, the Merger of Merger Sub and Naked, with Naked surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and the Naked stockholders will exchange all of the outstanding Naked Common Stock for Holdco Ordinary Shares. As a result of the Transactions, Bendon and Naked will each become wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdco and the shareholders of Bendon and the stockholders of Naked will become the shareholders of Holdco.

Consideration to Bendon Shareholders

In the Reorganization, the shareholders of Bendon will exchange all the outstanding Bendon Ordinary Shares for an aggregate of 138,373,881 Holdco Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment as described below.

Consideration to Naked Stockholders

In the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Naked shall be cancelled and shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a one Holdco Ordinary Share. Naked’s outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock will be converted into options and warrants of Holdco to purchase a like number of Holdco Ordinary Shares at a like exercise price per share.

Adjustments to Consideration

The Holdco Ordinary Shares issuable to the shareholders of Bendon in the Reorganization will be adjusted up or down to the extent Naked’s Net Assets are less or greater than $5,400,000, at a ratio of 11.634 shares for each dollar, provided that the difference is at least $150,000. The Net Assets target of $5,400,000 is subject to increase or decrease to the extent there are any approved decreases or increases in the expenditures of Naked set forth in the Budget (as defined below). The Holdco Ordinary Shares issuable to the shareholders of Bendon in the Reorganization also will be adjusted up or down to the extent Bendon’s Net Debt is less or greater than $2,100,000, at a ratio of 0.833 shares for each dollar, provided that the difference is at least $1,000,000. The adjustments will be calculated as of the date the SEC informs Holdco that it has no further comments on the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part.

For the purposes of the adjustment:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pro Forma Ownership

Immediately following the consummation of the Transactions, we estimate that the Naked stockholders will hold approximately 7.0% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares and the shareholders of Bendon will hold approximately 93.0% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares.

Possible but not yet Probable Acquisition of FOH Online Corp.

Bendon has had advanced discussion with the sole shareholder of FOH Online Corp. (“FOH Online”) pursuant to which the parties have specified terms by which Bendon could acquire FOH Online from such shareholder as described in more detail in “Business of Bendon — Possible but not yet Probable Acquisition of FOH Online Corp.” If Bendon is able to acquire FOH Online, Holdco would issue to the shareholder of FOH Online (or its designees) an aggregate of 8,633,333 (US$10,791,666 using share price US$1.25) Holdco Ordinary Shares. Such shares are in addition to the 138,373,881 (US$172,967,351 using share price $1.25) Holdco Ordinary Shares that will be issued to the shareholders of Bendon, so that, assuming consummation of the possible but not yet probable acquisition of FOH Online, the shareholders of Bendon and the shareholder of FOH Online (or its designees) would hold approximately 93.4% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares and the shareholders of Naked would hold approximately 6.6% of the issued and outstanding Holdco Ordinary Shares.

The number of Holdco Ordinary Shares that would otherwise be issuable to the shareholders of Bendon would be reduced in an amount substantially equal to the number of Holdco Ordinary Shares that would be issuable for the possible but not yet probable acquisition of FOH Online. Accordingly, the acquisition of FOH Online would result in nominal dilution to the shareholders of Naked and, as a result of the acquisition, the combined company would have a license to sell certain Frederick’s of Hollywood products as described herein.

Related Agreements or Arrangements

Refinancing

Bendon has agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause of all its outstanding convertible promissory notes to be converted into Bendon Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the Transactions. To the extent the effective weighted average conversion price is less than $1.04 per Holdco Ordinary Share received by the note holders, at the retirement in full of such notes, the Principal Shareholder will surrender a number of Holdco Ordinary Shares in order to reduce the weighted average effective conversion price to $1.04. In addition, Bendon has agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause its $6,100,000 on-demand subordinated loan to be amended and restated so that it matures on December 19, 2018 and bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum.

Naked Budget

Naked and Bendon have agreed to a budget for Naked (“Budget”), which itemizes proposed operational expenditures of Naked through the closing of the Transactions. A committee of the Naked board of directors, consisting of Justin Davis-Rice, Edward Hansen, Paul Hayes and Martha Olsen, must approve any expenditures that in the aggregate exceed any line item in the Budget by more than 10%.

Lock-Up Agreements

Each of Carole Hochman, the Chief Executive Officer of Naked, and Joel Primus, the President of Naked, will agree that the Holdco Ordinary Shares received by them in the Merger will be subject to certain transfer restrictions for a period of six months from the closing of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of a Lock-Up Agreement, except that the restrictions will terminate earlier if they cease to be employed by Holdco, Bendon, Naked or any of their affiliates.

Support Agreements

Certain of Naked’s directors and officers, including Carole Hochman, Joel Primus, Kai-Hsiang Lin, David Hochman, Andrew Kaplan, Paul Hayes, Martha Olsen and Jesse Cole, have entered into a support agreement, pursuant to which such individuals have agreed to vote in favor of the approval of the merger proposal, provide the Naked board of directors does not make a recommendation change in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Such individuals hold 31.4% of the Naked’s outstanding common stock.

After completion of the Transactions:

Background of the Transactions

As part of its ongoing consideration and evaluation of its long-term prospects and strategies, Naked’s board of directors and senior management regularly review and assess its business strategies and objectives, including strategic opportunities and challenges, all with the goal of enhancing long term value for Naked stockholders. Generally, these reviews centered on strategies to improve Naked’s financial condition, asset quality, existing operations, whether to pursue opportunities in new markets or lines of business, organizational requirements, scale, and financial and operating structure necessary to deliver competitive returns on stockholders’ capital. On occasion, these discussions centered on the possibility of merging with another organization as a means to enhance or improve stockholder value.

On September 27, 2016, Jeffrey Auerbach, of Worldwide Holdings LLC spoke with Naked’s President, Joel Primus regarding a potential business combination with an unnamed company.

Effective as of October 1, 2016, Naked and Bendon executed a confidentiality agreement and began conducting diligence on each other’s businesses.

On October 19, 2016, representatives of Naked met with Bendon’s management and to review Bendon’s business and discuss a potential transaction.

On October 26, 2016, Mr. Sid Banon of Chazen Capital Partners, LLC, advisor to Naked, sent an initial due diligence request list to Mr. Miles Leahy of Nucopia Partners, advisor to Bendon. Subsequently, during the period from October 26, 2016, t
