Despite our initial expectations at the beginning of the current Fiscal Year that the sales would fall due to the effect of the major earthquake and tsunami that struck Northeast Japan on March 11, 2011, sales are exceeding our expectations and we believe the impact of the earthquake and tsunami up to date is limited. In addition, in terms of profit, our cost cutting initiatives have been effective, and we have also experienced an increase in profit on sales as a result of the increased sales. As a result of the above and that financial result of the first quarter is exceeding our initial expectations at the beginning of the current Fiscal Year, we have revised our forecast of financial results for the consolidated second quarter of the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2012 and also our forecast of financial results for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2012 according to such revisions.
*Cautionary Statement
The forecast of business results is based on information available as of the date this data were released and, due to various risks, uncertainties and other factors arising in the future, actual results in the future may differ largely from our estimates.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include: the impact of the ongoing global economic downturn and financial crisis; the impact of weak consumer spending in Japan and our other markets on our sales and profitability; the impact on our business of anticipated continued weakness of department stores and other general retailers in Japan; our ability to successfully develop, manufacture, market and sell products in Japan and our other markets that meet the changing tastes and needs of consumers and to deliver high quality products; the highly competitive nature of our business and the strength of our competitors; our ability to successfully expand and operate our network of specialty retail stores and achieve profitable operations at these stores; our ability to further develop our catalog and Internet sales capabilities; our ability to effectively manage our inventory levels; our ability to reduce costs; our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel; effects of irregular weather events on our business and performance; risks related to conducting our business internationally; risks from acquisitions and other strategic transactions with third parties; risks from disputes relating to intellectual property; our ability to fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the protection of customer information and our ability to protect our trade secrets; our ability to establish and maintain effective internal controls; the impact of weakness in the Japanese equity markets on our holdings of Japanese equity securities; direct or indirect adverse effects on the Company of the major earthquake and tsunami that struck Northeast Japan on March 11, 2011 and the impact of any other natural disaster or epidemic on our business; risks of not successfully collecting return of investment in new markets; and other risks referred to from time to time in Wacoal Holdings’ filings on Form 20-F of its annual report and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

To Whom It May Concern:

| | WACOAL HOLDINGS CORP. Yoshikata Tsukamoto President and Representative Director (Code Number: 3591) (Tokyo Stock Exchange, First Section) (Osaka Securities Exchange, First Section) |

Announcement Regarding Stock Option Grants (Stock Acquisition Rights)
Wacoal Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) hereby announces that its board of directors (the “Board”) resolved at a meeting held on July 29, 2011 to issue and offer stock options in the form of stock acquisition rights as follows:
Details
I. | Reason for Granting Stock Acquisition Rights |
The Company will issue stock acquisition rights to the directors of the Company (excluding outside directors) and the directors of Wacoal Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, so that the directors can share in the potential benefit of an increase in stock value as well as bear the risk of a decline in stock value as a further incentive to improve the Company’s stock price and corporate value.
II. | Terms and Conditions of the Stock Acquisition Rights (Eligible Recipients: directors of the Company, excluding outside directors) |
| 1. | Name of the Stock Acquisition Rights: Wacoal Holdings Corp. Seventh Stock Acquisition Rights |
| 2. | Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights: 48 |
The total number of stock acquisition rights above is the expected number to be granted. If the number of stock acquisition rights to be granted turns out to be less than the number shown above because of a shortage of applications or other circumstances, the number of stock acquisition rights issued will be the actual number of stock acquisition rights to be granted.
| 3. | Class and Number of Shares to be Issued upon the Exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights |
The class of shares to be issued upon the exercise of the stock acquisition rights will be the common stock of the Company, and the number of shares to be issued for each stock acquisition right (the “Conversion Ratio”) will be 1,000.
1
In the event that the Company conducts a stock split (including the gratis allocation of shares of common stock of the Company; hereinafter the same) or a reverse split of its common stock, the Conversion Ratio will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Adjusted Conversion Ratio | | = | | Conversion Ratio prior to adjustment | | X | | Ratio of stock split or reverse stock split | | |
| | | | |
This adjustment will apply from the day following the record date in the case of a stock split and from the day on which the reverse stock split becomes effective in the case of a reverse stock split. However, in the event that the Company conducts a stock split that is conditioned on approval at a general meeting of shareholders of the Company of an increase in stockholders’ equity or additional paid-in capital by decreasing the amount of surplus, and provided that the record date for such stock split is set prior to the conclusion of such general meeting of shareholders, from the day following the conclusion of such general meeting of shareholders the adjustment will apply retroactively from the day following the record date.
In addition to the above, the Conversion Ratio shall be reasonably adjusted as may be required in unavoidable circumstances.
Any fractional shares which result from the above adjustment will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
Furthermore, in the case of any adjustment of the Conversion Ratio, the Company shall make any necessary notification or announcement to each of the holders of stock acquisition rights who are registered as holders of stock acquisition rights (“Optionholders”) no later than the day immediately preceding the day on which the adjusted Conversion Ratio becomes effective. However, if the Company is unable to provide such notification or announcement by such date, the Company shall provide prompt notification or announcement thereafter.
| 4. | Amount Capitalized upon Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights |
The amount capitalized upon the exercise of each stock acquisition right shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the exercise price of one (1) yen per share to be paid upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights and (ii) the Conversion Ratio.
| 5. | Exercise Period for Stock Acquisition Rights |
September 2, 2011 to September 1, 2031.
| 6. | Matters concerning Increases in Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital in the Case of an Issuance of Shares due to the Exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights |
| (1) | In the event that shares are issued due to the exercise of stock acquisition rights, shareholders’ equity shall be increased by half the limit for increases in common stock which are calculated in accordance with Article 17-1 of the Japanese Company Accounting Regulations. Any amount less than one (1) yen shall be rounded up to the nearest yen. |
| (2) | In the event that shares are issued due to the exercise of stock acquisition rights, additional paid-in capital shall be increased by the amount remaining after deducting the increase in the limit for increase in common stock stipulated in (1) above. |
| 7. | Limitation on the Acquisition of Stock Acquisition Rights by Transfer |
The acquisition of stock acquisition rights by transfer shall be subject to approval by resolution of the Board.
2
| 8. | Provisions for the Acquisition of Stock Acquisition Rights |
In the event that a general meeting of shareholders of the Company approves any of the following (or, when shareholder approval is not necessary, in the event that the Board or the representative executive officer approves of any of the following), the Company may acquire stock acquisition rights without compensation on a date separately specified by the Board:
| (1) | a proposed merger agreement under which the Company is to be dissolved; |
| (2) | a proposed corporate division agreement or plan under which the Company would be split; |
| (3) | a proposed share transfer agreement or plan that makes the Company a wholly owned subsidiary; |

| (5) | a proposed approval for an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to add a provision that prescribes that the Company shall be required to obtain the approval of the shareholders of the Company for the acquisition of the shares to be issued upon the exercise of stock acquisition rights by transfer or that the Company shall obtain all of the shares of said class by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. |
| 9. | Policy to Determine the Cancellation of Stock Acquisition Rights upon Organizational Restructuring and Issuance of Stock Acquisition Rights by the Surviving Company |
In the event that the Company conducts a merger (limited to a merger that would result in the dissolution of the Company), absorption-type demerger, incorporation-type demerger, stock swap or share transfer (hereinafter collectively referred to as an “Organizational Restructuring”), stock acquisition rights of the joint stock companies (kabushiki kaisha) listed in Article 236, Paragraph 1, Item 8, (a) through (e) of the Company Law (the “Surviving Company”) shall be granted to each holder of stock acquisition rights remaining immediately prior to the Organizational Restructuring takes effect (the “Residual Stock Acquisition Rights”) (i.e. for an absorption-type demerger, the date on which the demerger takes effect; for an incorporation-type demerger, the date on which the new company is incorporated; for a stock swap, the date on which the stock swap takes effect; and for share transfer, the date on which the wholly-owning parent company is incorporated by share transfer) in accordance with the following terms and conditions.
