OUTPOINT ANNOUNCES IT WILL NOT SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR ANY EXPENSES SHOULD ITS NOMINEES BE ELECTED, NEW YORK, JUNE 5, 2008 - In connection with its solicitation of proxies to elect a minority slate of two highly qualified nominees to the 8-member Board of Directors of Footstar, Inc. (OTCBB: FTAR) at its annual meeting on June 17, 2008, the Outpoint Group has announced that it will not seek reimbursement from Footstar if it succeeds in electing Jordan Grayson and Zachary Prensky to the Board of Directors.

 

The Outpoint Group notes that an indication to the contrary appears in the Outpoint Group’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2008; however, this is so-called boilerplate language that was included in the proxy statement erroneously.  The Outpoint Group would like to stress that it has never had any intention to seek reimbursement from the Board in the event its nominees are elected, and that intention has not changed in any way.
