Re: Notice of Acquisition Proposal

Members of the Board:

Mill Road Capital Management LLC and its affiliated funds (“Mill Road”) are long time stockholders of Lifetime Brands, Inc. (the “Company”), first purchasing shares in 2011. As of March 10^th, 2017, Mill Road owned in excess of 10% of the Company and had a cost basis of approximately $13.50 per share.

As one of the Company’s largest stockholders, we have always been highly impressed with the Company and its management team. We think Jeff Siegel has done an outstanding job as CEO and leads a strong and deep bench of talented people.

Accordingly, Mill Road is pleased to submit an offer to acquire all shares of the Company’s stock at a cash price of $20.00 per share. This price represents a premium of 37.5% to the closing price on March 10^th, 2017, of $14.55, and is a premium to any price at which the stock has closed since 2008.

Mill Road is a private investment firm focused on investing in and partnering with publicly-traded micro-cap companies. Over the last several years, we believe that Mill Road has completed more going private transactions with these companies than any other firm. We know the Company well and are prepared to commence negotiation of definitive agreements and business, financial, and legal due diligence immediately. We expect that with the cooperation of the Company the period required to complete our due diligence will be brief. Needless to say, this offer is not binding on Mill Road; binding legal obligations of Mill Road and the Company will be created only through execution and delivery of definitive agreements.
