- --------- ------------
On October 19, 2007, Registrant issued a press release announcing the sale of
the building housing its flagship store in London for the price of
(pound)73,000,000 (approximately $149,000,000 at the sale date) and that it had
simultaneously entered into a 15-year lease with two 10-year renewal options.
Registrant had, through a subsidiary, acquired the building at 25 Old Bond
Street and an adjoining building at 15 Albermarle Street in 2002 for a total
cost of $43,000,000 (U.S. dollar equivalent at the acquisition date). The
acquisition was made in order to combine the buildings, renovate and reconfigure
the interior retail selling space; that work was completed in 2006, allowing
Registrant to complete this sale and leaseback as planned.
A copy of the October 19, 2007 press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
