SCHEDULE 13D
Page 6 of 9 Pages

Item 1.
SECURITY AND ISSUER

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Tailored Brands, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”), and amends and supplements the initial  statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2019 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.  Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the previous information reported in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.
IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
Item 2(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The address of the principal office for each of the Reporting Persons is 20665 4th Street, Suite 201, Saratoga, CA 95070.

Item 3.
SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The funds used for the purchase of the Shares reported herein came from the general working capital of each of Master, Value and the SMA, and may include margin borrowing and proceeds from short sales. Positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $22,272,339, including commissions, was paid to acquire the Shares reported herein.

Item 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As disclosed in the initial Schedule 13D, and consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons have continued to engage in communications with management, as well as former members of management, regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations, governance and control.  Among other things, the Reporting Persons have raised concerns with the Issuer about its consulting costs and the number of facilities the Issuer owns, and has recommended sale and leaseback transactions of the Issuer’s facilities (including warehouse, logistics and office space) as a means of generating cash for more pressing capital allocation needs, such as Share buybacks and debt reduction, consistent with the Reporting Persons’ suggestions in their August 2 Letter, August 19 Letter, and August 30 Letter that the Issuer implement a Share buyback and pursue aggressive debt reduction.

Item 5.
INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 3,100,000 Shares, which equates to approximately 6.4% of the total number of Shares outstanding. This amount consists of (a) 1,939,641 Shares held for the account of Master, (b) 628,840 Shares held for the account of Value, and (c) 531,519 Shares held for the account of the SMA. The beneficial ownership percentages reported herein are based on 48,422,534 Shares outstanding as of November 29, 2019, as reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 12, 2019.

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over 3,100,000 Shares.

(c) Except for the transactions listed in Exhibit F hereto, all of which were effected in the open market through a broker, there have been no transactions in the Shares by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.
