GILLY HICKS RESTRUCTURING

As previously announced, on November 1, 2013, A&F’s Board of Directors approved the closure of the Company’s 24 stand-alone Gilly Hicks stores. The Company substantially completed the store closures as planned by the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2014.

As a result of exiting the Gilly Hicks branded stores, approximately $88.8 million of cumulative pre-tax charges have been incurred to date, including a benefit of $1.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2015, primarily related to lease terminations. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company's liability related to the Gilly Hicks restructuring decreased from approximately $6.0 million to approximately $3.0 million as a result of the lease termination benefit and cash payments applied against the liability.
