Item 5.05 Amendment to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of Code of Ethics
(a) On June 22, 2007, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Children’s Place Retail Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted certain revisions to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct (the “Code”) applicable to the Company’s senior officers, directors and all employees. The revision supplements the Code to explicitly provide for a more formalized policy of the Company with respect to cooperation with governmental and regulatory investigations. In addition and in connection with the prohibitions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the revisions also provide more detail on the prohibition of giving anything of value to any employee or official of a government or political candidate or to any person performing public duties or state functions in order to secure an improper advantage with respect to any aspect of the Company’s business. This summary is qualified entirely by the full text of the revisions to the Code filed herewith as Exhibit 14.1 to this report.
These amendments to the Code were made by the Company in connection with the previously announced comprehensive review by the Board all of the Company’s governance systems and processes and internal controls.
