PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 8, 2017

GENERAL

        We are furnishing this Proxy Statement to you as part of a solicitation by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of At Home Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, of proxies to be voted at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at any reconvened meeting after an adjournment or postponement of the meeting (the "Annual Meeting"). We will hold the Annual Meeting at the Four Seasons Resort and Club, 4150 N. MacArthur Blvd., Irving, Texas 75038 on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 3:30 p.m. (Central Time). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Proxy Statement to "At Home", "Company", "we", "us", and "our" refer to At Home Group Inc. and its subsidiaries.

        Our mailing address and principal executive office is 1600 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074. Our website is located at investor.athome.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this Proxy Statement.

        As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we have elected to send you this full set of proxy materials, including a proxy card, and additionally to notify you of the availability of these proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice of Meeting, Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and our Annual Report, which includes our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 (the "Annual Report"), are available at www.proxyvote.com.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

        At the Annual Meeting, you will consider and vote upon:

•

Proposal 1: The election of the three Class I director nominees identified in this Proxy Statement;

•

Proposal 2: The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 27, 2018; and

•

The transaction of any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

1

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

        You are receiving these materials because at the close of business on April 18, 2017 (the "Record Date"), you owned shares of the Company's common stock. All stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.

        Each share of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 60,366,768 shares of common stock outstanding. With respect to all of the matters submitted for vote at the Annual Meeting, each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

What information is contained in this Proxy Statement?

        This Proxy Statement includes information about the nominees for Class I directors and other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. It also explains the voting process and requirements; describes the compensation of our principal executive officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers (collectively referred to as our "named executive officers"); describes the compensation of our directors; and provides certain other information that SEC rules require.

What shares are included on my proxy card?

        You will receive one proxy card for all the shares of the Company's common stock that you hold as a stockholder of record (in certificate form or in book-entry form).

        If you hold your shares in street name, you will receive voting instructions for each account you have with a broker, bank or other nominee.

2

What matters am I voting on, how may I vote on each matter and how does the Board recommend that I vote on each matter?

        The following table sets forth each of the proposals you are being asked to vote on, how you may vote on each proposal and how the Board recommends that you vote on each proposal:

Proposal		How may I vote?	How does the Board recommend that I vote?
1.	The election of the three Class I director nominees identified in this Proxy Statement each for a three-year term or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.	You may: (i) vote FOR the election of all Class I director nominees named herein; (ii) withhold authority to vote for all such Class I director nominees; or	The Board recommends that you vote FOR all three of the Class I director nominees.
		(iii) vote FOR the election of all such Class I director nominees other than any nominees with respect to whom the vote is specifically withheld by indicating in the space provided on the proxy.
2.	The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 27, 2018.	You may vote FOR or AGAINST the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 27, 2018, or you may indicate that you wish to ABSTAIN from voting on the matter.	The Board recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the our fiscal year ending January 27, 2018.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

        If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, you are considered the "stockholder of record" with respect to those shares. The full set of proxy materials would have been sent directly to you.

        If your shares are held with a broker or in an account at a bank, you are considered the "beneficial owner" with respect to those shares. These shares are sometimes referred to as being held "in street name". The full set of proxy materials would have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following the instructions on the enclosed form of proxy for voting by telephone. You will not be able to vote these shares directly unless you obtain a signed legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares.

3

How do I vote if I am a stockholder of record?

        As a stockholder of record, you may vote your shares in any one of the following ways:

•

Call the toll-free number shown on the proxy card;

•

Vote on the Internet on the website shown on the proxy card;

•

Mark, sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope; or

•

Vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

        Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote. Returning the proxy card or voting by telephone will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

How do I vote if I am a beneficial owner?

        As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the instructions that your broker, bank or other nominee sent to you. You will receive proxy materials and voting instructions for each account that you have with a broker, bank or other nominee. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to change the directions that you have provided your broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions that your broker, bank or other nominee sent to you.

        As a beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a signed legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares.

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

        You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record as of the Record Date or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting as described in the previous question. Since seating is limited, admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares as a beneficial owner, you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as your most recent account statement prior to April 18, 2017, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, bank or other nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. You may contact us by telephone at 972-265-6137 to obtain directions to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

What can I do if I change my mind after I vote?

        If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

•

written notice of revocation to our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at 1600 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074;

•

timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy or a later-dated vote by telephone; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person by ballot.

        If you are a beneficial owner of shares but not the record holder, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described in the answer to the question "How do I vote if I am a beneficial owner?" above. All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting.

4

What if I return my proxy card or vote by Internet or phone but do not specify how I want to vote?

        If you are a stockholder of record and sign and return your proxy card or complete the Internet or telephone voting procedures, but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote them as follows:

•

FOR the election of the Class I director nominees.

•

FOR the approval ratifying the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 27, 2018.

What votes need to be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

        Under our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, a quorum will exist at the Annual Meeting if Stockholders holding a majority if the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present in person or by proxy. Stockholders of record who return a proxy or vote in person at the meeting will be considered part of the quorum. Abstentions are counted as "present" for determining a quorum. Uninstructed broker votes, also called "broker non-votes", are also counted as "present" for determining a quorum so long as there is at least one matter that a broker may vote on without specific instructions from a beneficial owner. See "What is the effect of broker non-votes?" below.

How are votes counted?

        In the election of the Class I directors, your vote may be cast "FOR" all of the nominees or your vote may be "WITHHELD" with respect to one or more of the nominees. If you withhold your vote with respect to any nominee, your shares will not be considered to have been voted for or against the nominee. For all other proposals, your vote may be cast "FOR" or "AGAINST" or you may "ABSTAIN". If you "ABSTAIN", it has the same effect as a vote "AGAINST". If you sign your proxy card with no further instructions and you are a stockholder of record, then your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board. If you sign your proxy card with no further instructions and you are a beneficial owner, then please see the response to the question immediately below for a description of how your shares will be voted.

What is the effect of broker non-votes?

        Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), if you are a beneficial owner, your broker, bank or other nominee only has discretion to vote on certain "routine" matters without your voting instructions. The proposal to ratify Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter. However, the election of Class I directors is not considered a routine matter. Accordingly, your broker, bank or other nominee will not be permitted to vote your shares on the election of directors unless you provide proper voting instructions.

5

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

        The following table sets forth the voting requirements with respect to each of the proposals:

Proposal		Voting Requirement
1.	The election of the three Class I director nominees identified in this Proxy Statement each for a three-year term or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.	Each Class I director must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
2.	The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 27, 2018.	To be approved, this proposal must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or by proxy, meaning that the votes cast by the stockholders "FOR" the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast "AGAINST" the approval of the proposal.

        Other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting may require more than a majority vote under our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the laws of Delaware or other applicable laws.

Who will count the votes?

        A representative of Merrill Corporation will act as the inspector of elections and count the votes.

Where can I find the voting results?

        We will announce the preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also publish voting results in a current report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days of the meeting. If on the date of this filing the inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting has not certified the voting results as final, we will note in the filing that the results are preliminary and publish the final results in a subsequent Form 8-K filing within four business days after the final voting results are known.

Who will pay the costs of soliciting these proxies?

        We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokers and other nominees holding shares of voting stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of voting stock for their reasonable costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by electronic means, mail, facsimile, telephone or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other employees. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors, officers or other employees for such services.

Are you "householding" for stockholders sharing the same address?

        The SEC's rules permit us to deliver a single copy of this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to an address that two or more stockholders share. This method of delivery is referred to as "householding" and can significantly reduce our printing and mailing costs. It also reduces the volume of mail that you receive. We will deliver only one Proxy Statement and Annual Report to multiple

6

registered stockholders sharing an address, unless we receive instructions to the contrary from one or more of the stockholders. We will still send each stockholder an individual proxy card.

        If you did not receive an individual copy of this Proxy Statement or our Annual Report, we will send copies to you if you contact us at 1600 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074, Attention: General Counsel and Corporate Secretary or by telephone at 972-265-6137. If you and other residents at your address have been receiving multiple copies of this Proxy Statement or our Annual Report, and desire to receive only a single copy of these materials, you may contact your broker, bank or other nominee or contact us at the above address or telephone number.

What is the deadline for stockholders to propose actions for consideration at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders?

        Stockholders who wish to nominate persons for election to our Board or propose other matters to be considered at our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders must provide us advance notice of the director nomination or shareholder proposal, as well as the information specified in our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, no earlier than February 8, 2018 and no later than March 10, 2018. Stockholders are advised to review our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which contain the requirements for advance notice of director nominations and shareholder proposals. Notice of director nominations and shareholder proposals must be mailed to our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at 1600 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074. The requirements for advance notice of shareholder proposals under our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws do not apply to proposals properly submitted under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as those shareholder proposals are governed by Rule 14a-8. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any director nomination or shareholder proposal that does not comply with our Amended and Restated Bylaws and other applicable requirements.

        January 8, 2018 is the deadline for stockholders to submit proposals to be included in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. However, if the date of the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year's meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy statement for the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. Proposals by stockholders must comply with all requirements of applicable rules of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, and be mailed to our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at 1600 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with Rule 14a-8 and other applicable requirements.

Whom should I call if I have any questions?

        If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting please contact us by telephone at 972-265-6137. If you have any questions about your ownership of Company voting stock, please contact our transfer agent at:

BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY

        At Home is the leading home décor superstore based on the number of our locations and our large format stores that we believe dedicate more space per store to home décor than any other player in the industry. We are focused on providing the broadest assortment of products for any room, in any style, for any budget. We utilize our space advantage to out-assort our competition, offering over 50,000 SKUs throughout our stores. Our differentiated merchandising strategy allows us to identify on-trend products and then value engineer those products to provide desirable aesthetics at attractive price points for our customers. Over 70% of our products are unbranded, private label or specifically designed for us. We believe that our broad and comprehensive offering and compelling value proposition combine to create a leading destination for home décor with the opportunity to continue taking market share in a large, fragmented and growing market.

        At Home (formerly known as Garden Ridge) was founded in 1979 in Garden Ridge, Texas, a suburb of San Antonio. We quickly gained a loyal following in our Texas home market and expanded thereafter. Throughout our history, we have cultivated a passionate customer base that shops our stores for the unique, wide assortment of products offered at value price points. After our Company was acquired in 2011 by an investment group led by AEA Investors LP ("AEA"), which included affiliates of Starr Investment Holdings, LLC ("Starr Investments" and, together with AEA, the "Sponsors"), we began a series of strategic investments in the business. We believe that the core strengths of our business combined with the significant investments made in the years following our acquisition by our Sponsors position us to grow sales and expand our store base.

        As of January 28, 2017, our store base is comprised of 123 stores across 30 states, averaging approximately 115,000 square feet per store. We utilize a flexible and disciplined real estate strategy that allows us to successfully open and operate stores from 80,000 to 165,000 square feet across a wide range of formats and markets.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS

        Our Board has nominated three people for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees currently is a director of the Company. If our stockholders elect these directors, then the directors will hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2020, or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, subject to the director's earlier death or resignation or removal. Each of the Board's nominees has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected. If for some reason any of the Board's nominees is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve if elected, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee recommended by the Board and, unless you indicate otherwise on the proxy card, your shares will be voted in favor of the Board's remaining nominees.

        We believe each of the Board's nominees meets the qualifications established by the Board for service on our Board and has professional experience in areas that are extremely relevant to our strategy and operations. We also believe that the skills, experience, backgrounds and attributes of the Board's nominees make them the best candidates to serve on our Board.

        The following table sets forth, as of April 18, 2017, the name and age of each nominee for director, indicating all positions and offices with us currently held by such director:

Name	Age		Position

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Corporate Governance

        We believe that good corporate governance helps to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefits of our stockholders. We regularly review and consider our corporate governance policies and practices, the SEC's corporate governance rules and regulations, and the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE, the stock exchange on which our common stock is traded.

        We have adopted the At Home Group Inc. Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Corporate Governance Guidelines"), which provide a framework for the governance of the Company as a whole and describe the principles and practices that the Board follows in carrying out its responsibilities. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address, among other things:

•

the composition, structure and policies of the Board and its committees;

•

director qualification standards;

•

expectations and responsibilities of directors;

•

management succession planning;

•

the evaluation of Board performance;

•

principles of Board compensation; and

•

communications with stockholders and non-management directors.

        The Corporate Governance Guidelines further provide that the Board, acting through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (as described below), conduct a self-evaluation at least annually to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. In addition, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that each committee conduct a self-evaluation and compare its performance to the requirements of its charter. However, the Company may choose to forego annual evaluations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee pursuant to exemptions provided for "controlled companies" under the rules of the NYSE, as described further below.

        The Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on our website at investor.athome.com. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from time to time to ensure that they effectively promote the best interests of both the Company and the Company's stockholders and that they comply with all applicable laws, regulations and NYSE requirements.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

        We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to all of our directors, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and employees, known as the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at investor.athome.com. In the event that we amend or waive certain provisions of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer that require disclosure under applicable SEC rules, we will disclose the same on our website.

Board Composition

        In accordance with the terms of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws, our Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and

11

Class III, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. The members of the classes are divided as follows:

•

the Class I directors are Mr. Bird, Ms. Charles and Mr. Questrom, and upon election, their terms will next expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020;

•

the Class II directors are Ms. Beck, Mr. Francis and Mr. Stone, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018; and

•

the Class III directors are Mr. Clark, Mr. Eltrich and Mr. Hoesterey, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2019.

Board of Directors and Director Independence

        Our Sponsors currently indirectly own a majority of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Board has determined that we are a "controlled company" under the rules of the NYSE and, as a result, qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. A company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company is a "controlled company" within the meaning of the NYSE rules and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements of the NYSE, including:

•

the requirement that a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors;

•

the requirement that we have a nominating/corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities;

•

the requirement that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and

•

the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating/corporate governance committee and compensation committee.

        The "controlled company" exception does not modify the independence requirements for the Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee is currently comprised entirely of independent directors.

        We rely on all of the exemptions listed above. As a result, we do not have a majority of independent directors and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee does not consist entirely of independent directors. Our Board and those committees may have more directors who do not meet the NYSE's independence standards than they would if those standards were to apply. The independence standards are intended to ensure that directors who meet those standards are free of any conflicting interest that could influence their actions as directors. Accordingly, you do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

        Our Board has affirmatively determined that Wendy A. Beck, Elisabeth B. Charles, Philip L. Francis, Allen I. Questrom and Larry D. Stone are independent directors under the rules of the NYSE and independent directors as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. Lewis L. Bird III, our Chief Executive Officer, is not independent because of his position as an executive officer. Our remaining directors are not independent because of their affiliations with the Sponsors, which indirectly hold more than 50% of our common stock: Martin C. Eltrich, III (Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee) and Brian R. Hoesterey (Compensation Committee) are representatives of AEA and Geoffrey G. Clark (Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee) is a representative of Starr Investments.

12

Board Leadership Structure

        We do not have a policy as to whether the role of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined and believe that we should maintain the flexibility to select the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and reorganize the leadership structure, from time to time, based on criteria that are in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders at such times. Currently, Lewis L. Bird III is the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. We believe that Mr. Bird's familiarity with our Company and extensive knowledge of our industry qualify him to serve as the Chairman of our Board.

        Our Board does not currently have a designated lead independent director. We are aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when a non-independent director is Chairman of the Board, but believe these potential conflicts are offset by our strong corporate governance practices.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

        The Board and Audit Committee oversee management's day-to-day risk management activities and processes. While the full Board is responsible for risk oversight, the Board uses its committees, as appropriate, to monitor and address the risks that are within the scope of a particular committee's expertise or charter. The Audit Committee assists the Board with oversight of our material financial risk exposures and our material financial statement and financial reporting risks. The Compensation Committee assists the Board with oversight of risks associated with our compensation policies and practices. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board with oversight of risks associated with our governance. In each case, the Board or the applicable committee oversees the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.

        The Chief Executive Officer's membership on and collaboration with the Board allows him to gauge whether management is providing adequate information for the Board to understand the interrelationships of our various business and financial risks. He is available to the Board to address any questions from other directors regarding executive management's ability to identify and mitigate risks and weigh them against potential rewards.

Director Selection Process

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of potential director nominees and recommending to the Board those candidates to be nominated for election to the Board, subject to the Sponsors' right to nominate directors to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers all factors it deems appropriate, which may include (a) ensuring that the Board, as a whole, is appropriately diverse and the extent to which a candidate would fill a present need on the Board, (b) the Board's size and compositions, (c) our corporate governance policies and any applicable laws, (d) individual director performance, expertise, experience and willingness to serve actively, (e) the number of other public and private company boards on which a director candidate serves, (f) consideration of director nominees properly proposed by third parties with the legal right to nominate directors or by stockholders in accordance with our bylaws and (g) any other appropriate factors. The Board monitors the mix of specific experience, qualifications and skills of its directors in order to assure that the Board, as a whole, has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively in light of the Company's business and structure. Stockholders may also nominate directors for election at the Company's annual stockholders meeting by following the provisions set forth in the Company's Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, whose qualifications the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider. Additionally, for so long as certain affiliates of AEA and Starr Investments hold an aggregate of at least 10% of our outstanding common stock, such Sponsor shall be entitled to nominate at least one individual for election to our Board, and our Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall

13

nominate and recommend to our stockholders that such individual be elected to our Board, and each party to the stockholders' agreement, dated July 22, 2016, between the Company and certain funds affiliated with the Sponsors (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), agrees to vote all of their shares to elect such individual to our Board. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions—Stockholders Agreement" for a description of the Sponsors' right to nominate directors.

Meetings of the Board and Committees

        During the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 ("fiscal year 2017"), the Board held five meetings. All of the directors who served during the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 attended at least 75% of the total meetings of the Board and each of the Board committees on which such director served during their respective tenure, with the exception of a 50% attendance rate by Mr. Eltrich for meetings of the Compensation Committee. However, for Compensation Committee meetings where Mr. Eltrich was not in attendance, he was represented by proxy. Directors are expected to make best efforts to attend all Board meetings, all meetings of the committee or committees of the Board of which they are a member and the annual meeting of stockholders. Attendance by telephone or videoconference is deemed attendance at a meeting.

        Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board currently plans to hold at least four meetings each year, with additional meetings to occur (or action to be taken by unanimous consent, either in writing or by electronic transmission) at the discretion of the Board.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

        Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in order to ensure free and open discussion and communication among the non-management directors of the Board, the non-management directors meet in executive session at most Board meetings with no members of management present. The lead director, if any, or a director designated by such non-management directors, will preside at the executive sessions.

Communications with the Board

        Any interested parties wishing to communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known directly to the Board or chairperson of any of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, or to the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company, 1600 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75074. The General Counsel and Corporate Secretary or Chairman will forward such communications to the appropriate party as soon as practicable. Such communications may be done confidentially or anonymously.

Committees of the Board

        The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as described below. In accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE, we rely on exceptions that allow us to phase in compliance with the applicable committee independence standards. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board, copies of which are available on our website at investor.athome.com.

        The following table shows the membership of each committee of our Board as of January 28, 2017, and the number of meetings held by each committee during the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017:

Audit Committee

        The members of the Audit Committee are Ms. Beck, as Chair, and Messrs. Francis and Stone. Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act requires us to have one independent audit committee member upon the listing of our common stock, a majority of independent directors on our Audit Committee within 90 days of the date of our initial public offering and an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors within one year of the date of our initial public offering. Ms. Beck qualifies as our "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of regulations adopted by the SEC. The Audit Committee recommends the annual appointment and reviews independence of auditors and reviews the scope of audit and non-audit assignments and related fees, the results of the annual audit, accounting principles used in financial reporting, internal auditing procedures, the adequacy of our internal control procedures, related party transactions, and investigations into matters related to audit functions. The Audit Committee is also responsible for overseeing risk management on behalf of our Board.

Compensation Committee

        The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Eltrich, as Chairman, Messrs. Clark, Hoesterey and Stone and Ms. Charles.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board in identifying individuals qualified to become board members, makes recommendations for nominees for committees and develops, recommends to the Board and reviews our corporate governance principles.

15

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        None of our executive officers serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee. No interlocking relationship exists between any member of our Compensation Committee (or other committee performing equivalent functions) and any executive, member of the board of directors or member of the compensation committee (or other committee performing equivalent functions) of any other company.

No Hedging Policy

        The Company's Securities Trading Policy prohibits all directors and executive officers of the Company from effecting short sales, put options, call options or other derivative securities, holding securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging securities as collateral for a loan or hedging or similar monetization transactions with respect to the Company's common stock.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 27, 2018. Ernst & Young also served as our independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017. The services provided to us by Ernst & Young in the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 are described below under the heading "Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's Fees and Services". Representatives of Ernst & Young will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if they so desire.

        The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 27, 2018. Accordingly, stockholder approval is not required to appoint Ernst & Young as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board believes that the submission of the Audit Committee's selection to the stockholders for ratification is a matter of good corporate governance. If the Company's stockholders do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of an independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may retain another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it concludes that such change would be in the best interest of the Company's stockholders.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR"
PROPOSAL NO. 2 TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF AT HOME GROUP INC. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JANUARY 27, 2018.

17

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM'S FEES AND SERVICES

        The following is a description of the professional services performed and the fees billed by Ernst & Young for the fiscal years ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016.

Type of Fees	Fiscal Year Ended January 28, 2017		Fiscal Year Ended January 30, 2016
Audit Fees(1)	$	1,269,519	$	1,467,901
Audit-Related Fees		—		—
Tax Fees(2)		1,016,983		1,039,521
All Other Fees(3)		2,200		2,200
Total	$	2,288,702	$	2,509,622

(1)

Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our financial statements, review of interim financial statements, assistance with registration statements filed with the SEC and services that are normally provided by Ernst & Young in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. Audit fees also include fees for services provided by Ernst & Young in connection with our initial public offering in August 2016, including the registration statement on Form S-1 and amendments thereto in the fiscal years ended January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016.

(2)

Tax fees are fees for a variety of permissible services relating to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advisory services.

(3)

All other fees relate to professional services not included in the categories above, including fees related to a subscription to an accounting research tool.

        The Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young were compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young's independence and has determined that the nature and substance of the non-audit services did not impair the status of Ernst & Young as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

18

POLICY ON AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT RELATED
SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

        The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight and termination of At Home Group Inc.'s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy requiring that substantially all audit, audit-related and non-audit services provided by the independent auditor be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Pre-approval is not necessary for certain minor non-audit services that (i) do not constitute more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Company to Ernst & Young during the fiscal year the non-audit services were provided; (ii) were not recognized by the Company to be non-audit services at the time of the engagement for such services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the Board to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may delegate authority to one or more independent members of the Audit Committee to grant pre-approvals of audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that any such pre-approvals are presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. During the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017, 100% of the non-audit services provided to us by Ernst & Young were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

        The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that prohibits our independent auditors from providing the following services:

•

bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of At Home Group Inc.;

•

financial information systems design and implementation;

•

appraisal or valuation services, providing fairness opinions or preparing contribution-in-kind reports;

•

actuarial services;

•

internal audit outsourcing services;

•

management functions or human resources;

•

broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services;

•

legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and

•

any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board prohibits through regulation.

        The Audit Committee's pre-approval policy is in the Audit Committee Charter, which is available on our website at investor.athome.com.

19

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD

        The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Ms. Beck, as Chair, and Messrs. Francis and Stone. The Audit Committee oversees At Home Group Inc.'s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including maintaining an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee meets separately with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board, a copy of which is available on our website at investor.athome.com. The charter, among other things, provides that the Audit Committee has full authority to appoint, compensate, retain, oversee and terminate when appropriate, the independent registered public accounting firm.

        In addition to fulfilling its oversight responsibilities as set forth in its charter and further described above in the section titled "Corporate Governance and Board Matters—Committees of the Board—Audit Committee", the Audit Committee has done the following things:

•

reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in At Home Group Inc.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements;

•

reviewed with Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young"), At Home Group Inc.'s independent registered public accounting firm, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality and acceptability of At Home Group Inc.'s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards;

•

received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence;

•

discussed with Ernst & Young its independence from management and At Home Group Inc. and considered whether Ernst & Young could also provide non-audit services without compromising the firm's independence;

•

discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, and SEC Rules and Regulations, including Rule 2-07, Communication with Audit Committees, of Regulation S-X; and

•

discussed with the Company's internal auditors and Ernst & Young the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, and then met with the internal auditors and Ernst & Young, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of At Home Group Inc.'s internal controls and the overall quality of At Home Group Inc.'s financial reporting.

        Based on the foregoing reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also appointed Ernst & Young to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 27, 2018.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Elements of Compensation

        In fiscal years 2016 and 2017 we compensated our named executive officers through a combination of base salary, cash incentives, long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options and other benefits as described below.

Base Salary

        The salaries for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 for our named executive officers were determined pursuant to the terms of each officer's employment agreement, which are described below, which have been increased as described below.

Performance Based Cash Incentives

        In fiscal years 2016 and 2017, each of Messrs. Nystrom and Corsa were eligible to receive annual cash bonuses with the target of 60% of base salary under our Management Bonus Plan. Effective September 11, 2015, Mr. Bird became eligible to receive an annual cash bonus with a target of 100% of base salary under the Management Bonus Plan. For fiscal year 2016, Mr. Bird's annual bonus was calculated based on a dollar target of $650,000 for the portion of the fiscal year through September 11, 2015 and based on a target of 100% of base salary under our Management Bonus Plan for the portion of the fiscal year after September 11, 2015. For fiscal year 2017, Mr. Bird's annual bonus was calculated based on a target of 100% of base salary under the Management Bonus Plan. For purposes of the Management Bonus Plan, "Adjusted EBITDA" refers to our Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017. The Management Bonus Plan consists of two measures of Company performance which determine the Company's achievement multiple for the target bonus through the use of an achievement table: (i) Adjusted EBITDA versus the financial plan for the year, which comprises 75% of the achievement calculation, and (ii) comparable store sales growth, which comprises 25% of the achievement calculation. Achievement of less than the Company's prior year Adjusted EBITDA target results in a 0% achievement multiple, and the maximum Company achievement multiple is 170%. Finally, the Compensation Committee of the Board has final discretion with regard to senior executive bonuses based upon the delivery of key strategic initiatives. In fiscal year 2016, the Adjusted EBITDA target was $115.0 million (unadjusted for the amortization of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions) and the comparable store sales growth target was 3.0%. In fiscal year 2016, Adjusted EBITDA was $118.4 million (unadjusted for the amortization of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions) and comparable store sales growth was 3.9% resulting in a blended Company achievement multiple of 114.2% based upon the achievement table, together with minor adjustments deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. In fiscal year 2017, the Adjusted EBITDA target was $134.2 million and the comparable store sales growth target was 3.0%. In fiscal year 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was $138.3 million and comparable store sales growth was 3.7% resulting in a blended Company achievement multiple of 114.3% based upon the achievement table, together with minor adjustments deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. The Board approved the bonus payments in respect of fiscal years 2016 and 2017 consistent with these results.

Option Awards

Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Equity Plan"). Each of these option awards is subject to market-based vesting conditions based on the achievement of specified closing share price targets for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days, disregarding the six-month period immediately following the date of grant, subject to the executive's continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date.

Each of these option awards was originally scheduled to vest in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the applicable grant date; however, the option awards were amended as of December 4, 2012, March 25, 2013 and February 18, 2013, for each of Messrs. Bird, Corsa, and Nystrom, respectively, and now vest in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the applicable option award amendment date.

Additional Narrative Disclosure

Retirement Benefits

        We maintain a tax-qualified Section 401(k) retirement savings plan that provides for employee contributions and employer "safe harbor" matching contributions equal to 100% of salary deferrals up to 3% of a participant's compensation and 50% of salary deferrals thereafter up to 5% of a participant's compensation. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our tax qualified

31

Section 401(k) retirement savings plan on the same basis as other employees who satisfy the plan's eligibility requirements, including requirements relating to age and length of service. Under this plan, participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions not to exceed the applicable statutory income tax limitation, which, subject to certain exceptions, was $18,000 for calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Participants are always fully vested in their entire plan account (including with respect to employer contributions).

Payments upon Certain Events of Termination or Change in Control

        Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements, our named executive officers are entitled to receive certain payments in connection with certain termination events.

        In the event of a termination of employment for any reason, each of our named executive officers is entitled to payment of any earned but unpaid base salary, vested benefits in accordance with the applicable employee benefit plan, unreimbursed business expenses and, other than upon a termination for cause, any earned but unpaid annual bonus for fiscal years completed prior to the termination date. In addition, upon any termination of Mr. Bird's employment (other than for cause or due to resignation without good reason (as defined in the CEO Agreement)) that occurs after the 90^th day of a fiscal year, Mr. Bird is entitled to a pro rata bonus for the year of termination based on performance through the end of the month preceding termination and an adjusted performance target, prorated based on the number of days worked in the fiscal year of termination. Upon a termination of employment of any named executive officer other than for cause, death, or disability, or upon a termination for good reason (as defined in the applicable Employment Agreement), then our named executive officers are each entitled to severance payments (in addition to the pro rata bonus described in the preceding sentence in the case of Mr. Bird), payable over the twelve month period following termination of employment, in amounts equal to annual base salary (for Mr. Corsa) and the sum of annual base salary plus target bonus opportunity (for Messrs. Bird and Nystrom), and Mr. Corsa is also entitled to payment of the full annual bonus to which he would have been entitled for the year of termination had he remained employed, based on actual performance and paid at the same time as annual bonuses are ordinarily paid. In addition, Mr. Bird is entitled to an additional lump sum payment if he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within six months before a "change of control" (as defined in the CEO Agreement) at the request of the buyer or within one year following a change of control, in an amount equal to the sum of his annual base salary plus target bonus opportunity, payable on the later of the date of the change of control or the date the initial payment of his standard severance payments is made.

        Each of our named executive officers has been granted nonqualified stock option awards under the Company's 2012 Option Plan (the "2012 Plan Options"). Each of the 2012 Plan Option awards granted to our named executive officers fully vests and becomes exercisable upon a "change in control" (as defined in the 2012 Option Plan). In addition, pursuant to Mr. Bird's 2012 Plan Option award, if his employment is terminated without "cause" or he resigns for "good reason" (each as defined in the CEO Agreement) then his entire 2012 Plan Option award shall remain outstanding for six months and become exercisable upon a change in control that occurs within such six-month period if the per share price received by the holders of the Company's common stock in such change in control equals or exceeds approximately $19.51 (subject to equitable adjustments from time to time to account for any "Change in Capitalization" as defined in the 2012 Option Plan).

        Mr. Bird was also party to a letter agreement dated November 26, 2012, pursuant to which he was entitled, upon a "change of control" that occurs before the "Mandatory Conversion Date" (as each such term was defined in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation in effect prior to the time of the Company's initial public offering), to payment of an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds he would have received upon such change of control had the shares covered by the vested portion of his 2012 Plan Option award been Class A Common Stock of the

32

Company instead of Class C common Stock of the Company. Because the date of the initial public offering of the Company's common stock was a Mandatory Conversion Date, this letter agreement became inapplicable upon completion of the public offering.

        In addition, each of our named executive officers has been granted nonqualified stock option awards under the 2016 Equity Plan (the "IPO Bonus Options"), which are subject to the attainment of the market-based vesting conditions described in "Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table—Option Awards". Mr. Bird's IPO Bonus Option award agreement provides that if he experiences a termination without "cause" or he resigns for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the CEO Agreement) (a "Severance Event"), then his unvested IPO Bonus Option shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based upon attainment of the foregoing performance conditions for a period of six months following his termination of service.

        If Mr. Nystrom or Mr. Corsa experiences a termination of service without "cause" (as defined in the IPO Bonus Option award agreement) other than due to death or disability, the vested portion of such executive's IPO Bonus Options shall expire 90 days following such termination or, if earlier, the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. If Mr. Nystrom or Mr. Corsa experiences a termination of service due to death or disability, the vested portion of such executive's IPO Bonus Options shall expire on the first day that is one year after the date of such executive's termination of service, or, if earlier, the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. If Mr. Bird experiences a termination of service due to death, disability, or a Severance Event, the vested portion of his IPO Bonus Options shall expire on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. If any of Messrs. Bird, Nystrom, or Corsa experiences a termination for cause, then such executive's IPO Bonus Options shall be forfeited immediately upon the effective date of such termination for cause.

        Effect of a Change in Control or Certain Other Transactions under the 2012 Option Plan.    The 2012 Option Plan provides that, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar change in the capital stock of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a Change in Control (as defined the 2012 Option Plan) (each a "Corporate Transaction"), all outstanding options shall terminate upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, unless provision is made in connection with such transaction, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or the parties to the Corporate Transaction, for the assumption or continuation of such options by, or the substitution for such options with new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or other equity based compensation, of the surviving, or successor or resulting entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with such adjustments as to the number and kind of shares or other securities or property subject to such new awards, option and stock appreciation right exercise or base prices, and other terms of such new awards as the Compensation Committee or the parties to the Corporate Transaction shall agree. In the event that provision is made in writing as aforesaid in connection with a Corporate Transaction, the 2012 Option Plan and the unexercised options theretofore granted or the new awards substituted therefor shall continue in the manner and under the terms provided in such writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, vested options (including those options that would become vested upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction) shall not be terminated upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction unless holders of affected options are provided either (i) a period of at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date of the consummation of the Corporate Transaction to exercise the options, or (ii) payment in respect of each share covered by the option being cancelled in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share price to be paid or distributed to stockholders in the Corporate Transaction over the option price of the option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or being construed as requiring any such action, in connection with any such Corporate Transaction the Compensation Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of any participant, cause any of the following actions to be taken effective upon or at any time prior to any Corporate Transaction: (a) cause any or all unvested options to become fully vested and immediately

33

exercisable (as applicable) and/or provide the holders of such options a reasonable period of time prior to the date of the consummation of the Corporate Transaction to exercise the options; or (b) with respect to unvested options that are terminated in connection with the Corporate Transaction, provide the holders thereof a payment in respect of each share covered by the option being terminated in an amount equal to all or a portion of the excess, if any, of the per share price to be paid or distributed to stockholders in the Corporate Transaction.

        Effect of a Change in Control or Certain Other Transactions under the 2016 Equity Plan.    The 2016 Equity Plan provides that, in general, the award agreement evidencing each award will provide any specific terms applicable to that award in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2016 Equity Plan). Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar change in the capital stock of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a Change in Control (each, a "2016 Equity Plan Corporate Transaction"), awards shall either: (a) continue following such 2016 Equity Plan Corporate Transaction, which may include, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee or the parties to the 2016 Equity Plan Corporate Transaction, the assumption, continuation or substitution of the awards, in each case with appropriate adjustments to the number, kind of shares, and exercise prices of the awards; or (b) terminate.

        If options are to terminate in the event of a 2016 Equity Plan Corporate Transaction, the holders of vested options must be provided either (a) fifteen days to exercise their options or (b) payment (in cash or other consideration) in respect of each share covered by the option being cancelled in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share price to be paid to stockholders in the 2016 Equity Plan Corporate Transaction over the price of the option. If the per share price to be paid to stockholders in the 2016 Equity Plan Corporate Transaction is less than the exercise price of the option, the option may be terminated without payment of any kind. The holders of unvested options may also receive payment, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in the same manner as described above for vested options. The Compensation Committee may also accelerate the vesting on any unvested option and provide holders of such options a reasonable opportunity to exercise the award.

        The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for different treatment for different awards or awards held by different parties, and where alternative treatment is available for a participant's awards, may allow the participant to choose which treatment will apply to his or her awards.

Director Compensation

        Prior to the Company's IPO, we did not have a formal compensation package for independent directors of our Board for their service as directors. However, the Company did decide to grant equity awards in connection with the appointment of, or continued service by, a director to our Board, from time to time. In fiscal year 2016 we granted nonqualified stock options to Mr. Francis and in fiscal year 2017 we granted nonqualified stock options to Ms. Charles in connection with her commencement of service as a member of the board of directors.

        Other than these nonqualified stock options, our independent directors did not receive any compensation specifically for their services as a director in fiscal year 2017 prior to the IPO; however, the Company does reimburse these directors for any travel or other business expenses related to their service as a director. In addition, following the IPO, for fiscal year 2017, the Company determined to provide its independent directors with an annual cash retainer of $50,000 (as well as an additional annual retainer of $15,000 to the chair of the Audit Committee), prorated for the portion of the fiscal year following the IPO. For fiscal 2018, the Company increased the annual cash retainer to $65,000 (with no adjustment to the additional retainer of $15,000 to the chair of the Audit Committee) and provided grants of restricted stock units under the Company's 2016 Equity Plan covering 6,649 shares

34

of the Company's common stock to each independent director. The independent director restricted stock unit grants will fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and be settled in shares of Company common stock within thirty days following the vesting date.

        The following table summarizes the compensation of the non-employee directors of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017:

A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after April 24, 2017, including any shares of our common stock subject to an option that has vested or will vest within 60 days after April 24, 2017. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.

        Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transaction Policy

        Our Board has adopted a Related Party Transaction Policy, providing that the Audit Committee will review and approve or ratify transactions in excess of $120,000 of value in which we participate and in which a director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Under this policy, the Board is to obtain all information it believes to be relevant to a review and approval or ratification of these transactions. After consideration of the relevant information, the Audit Committee is to approve only those related party transactions that the Audit Committee believes are on their terms, taken as a whole, no less favorable to us than could be obtained in an arms'-length transaction with an unrelated third party and that the Audit Committee determines are not inconsistent with the best interests of the Company. In particular, our policy with respect to related person transactions will require our Audit Committee to consider the benefits to the Company, the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director has a position or relationship, the availability of other sources for comparable products or services, the terms of the transaction and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. A "related person" is any person who is or was one of our executive officers, directors or director nominees or is a holder of more than 5% of our common stock, or their immediate family members or any entity owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons. All of the transactions described below were entered into prior to the adoption of this policy.

Related Party Transactions

        The following is a description of transactions during the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 to which we were a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our executive officers, directors or holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arms'-length transactions with parties unrelated to us.

Sponsors

        In connection with our initial public offering, the management agreement with our Sponsors was terminated as of August 3, 2016 and the Sponsors no longer receive management fees from us. Following our initial public offering, the Sponsors own approximately 84% of our outstanding common stock.

        We were previously obligated to pay management fees of approximately $2.6 million annually to AEA. We recognized management fees and reimbursed expenses of approximately $1.4 million during the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

        We were also obligated to pay management fees of approximately $0.9 million annually to Starr Investments. We recognized management fees of approximately $0.5 million during the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

        Until November 1, 2016, affiliates of AEA owned a significant equity position in Dematic Corporation, an external vendor that designs, develops and delivers solutions that optimize companies' supply chain, improve performance and increase productivity through intelligent warehouse logistics and materials handling solutions. In February 2014, we executed an agreement with Dematic Corporation for the installation of a system to assist in the automation of our distribution center. During the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017, we paid Dematic Corporation approximately $0.4 million under the

40

agreement, which is primarily recorded in property and equipment, net. Affiliates of AEA disposed of their interest in Dematic Corporation as of November 1, 2016, and Dematic Corporation is no longer a related party.

Stockholders' Agreement

        In connection with our initial public offering, the Company and certain funds affiliated with the Sponsors entered into a Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2016. The Stockholders' Agreement contains, among other things, certain restrictions on the ability of such Sponsors to freely transfer shares of our stock. In addition, for so long as certain affiliates of AEA, on the one hand, and certain affiliates of Starr Investments, on the other hand, respectively in the aggregate each own at least 10% of our outstanding common stock, each such Sponsor shall be entitled to nominate at least one individual for election to our Board, and our Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall nominate and recommend to our stockholders that such individual be elected to our Board, and each party to the Stockholders' Agreement agrees to vote all of their shares to elect such individual to our Board. The Stockholders' Agreement also provides that, for a period of two years following the initial public offering, subject to certain exceptions, Starr II will agree to vote or cause to be voted 9,611,804 of their shares of our common stock on all matters presented to the stockholders in the same manner that AEA votes on such matters.

Registration Rights Agreement

        The parties to the Stockholders' Agreement described above have also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of July 22, 2016. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, upon the closing of the initial public offering, holders of approximately 84% of our outstanding common stock as of April 30, 2016, have the right to require us to register these shares under the Securities Act under specified circumstances and will have incidental registration rights as described below. After registration pursuant to these rights, these shares will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act.

Demand Registration Rights

        Subject to certain restrictions, at any time, excluding the 120 days following the effective date of any subsequent registration statement that we file (other than registration statements on Forms S-4 or S-8), we have agreed that, upon request, we will register all or a portion of the Sponsors' common stock for sale under the Securities Act. We will effect the registration as requested in writing by the Sponsors, unless in the good faith judgment of our Board, such registration would materially and adversely interfere with certain transactions involving the Company and should be delayed. The Sponsors have the right, collectively, to demand that we file a registration statement pursuant to these demand provisions on up to ten occasions on Form S-1; however, the Sponsors are entitled to make an unlimited number of demands for registration on Form S-3 if and when we become eligible to use such form.

Piggyback Registration Rights

        In addition, if at any time we register any shares of our common stock (other than pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8), the Sponsors and certain other holders of shares of our common stock having registration rights are entitled to prior notice of the registration and to include all or a portion of their common stock in the registration.

        In the event that any registration in which the holders of registrable shares participate pursuant to the registration rights agreement is an underwritten public offering, the number of registrable shares to be included may, in specified circumstances, be limited.

41

Other Provisions

        We will pay all registration and offering expenses, and the reasonable fees and expenses of a single special counsel for each of the parties making a demand and a single special counsel for all other selling stockholders, related to any demand or piggyback registration. The registration rights agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which we are obligated to indemnify any selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to us, and they are obligated to indemnify us for material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to them. A particular stockholder's shares shall no longer be considered registrable shares, to which demand and piggyback registration rights apply, when such shares have been disposed of under an effective registration statement or sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Other Relationships and Transactions

        Merry Mabbett Inc. ("MMI") is owned by Merry Mabbett Dean, who is the mother of Lewis L. Bird III, our Chief Executive Officer. During the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017, Ms. Dean, through MMI, provided certain design services to us, including design for our home office, as well as design in our stores. In addition, through MMI, we purchased certain fixtures, furniture and equipment that is now owned and used by us in our home office, new store offices or in the product vignettes in the stores. During the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017, we paid MMI approximately $0.2 million for fixtures, furniture and equipment and design related services.
