"Kim brings an impressive depth of retail and managerial experience and an extensive knowledge of the female consumer, which the Company will benefit from as it continues to strengthen its business and capitalize on its opportunities."

Ms. Roy's election was part of the Company's succession process to replace Sam K. Reed, who previously notified the Company in March 2007 of his desire to resign from the Board at such time as a suitable successor director was duly elected and qualified. Mr. Reed yesterday resigned from the Company's Board effective as of March 29, 2008, the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Ms. Roy will stand for re-election
