Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's operations,
performance, and financial condition. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Such risks and
uncertainties may include, but are not limited to: the failure to implement the Company's business plan for
increased profitability and growth in the Company's retail stores and direct-to-consumer segments, the
failure to successfully implement the Company's expansion of Cacique through new store formats, the
failure to successfully implement the Company's integration of operations of, and the business plan for,
Crosstown Traders, Inc., including the Lane Bryant catalog, the failure to secure adequate financing,
adverse changes in costs vital to catalog operations, such as postage, paper and acquisition of prospects,
declining response rates to catalog offerings, failure to maintain efficient and uninterrupted order-taking and
fulfillment in our direct-to-consumer business, changes in or miscalculation of fashion trends, extreme or
unseasonable weather conditions, economic downturns, escalation of energy costs, a weakness in overall
consumer demand, failure to find suitable store locations, increases in wage rates, the ability to hire and
train associates, trade and security restrictions and political or financial instability in countries where goods
are manufactured, the interruption of merchandise flow from the Company's centralized distribution
facilities, competitive pressures, and the adverse effects of natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or
threats of either, or other armed conflict, on the United States and international economies. These, and
other risks and uncertainties, are detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3,
2007 and other Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Charming Shoppes
assumes no duty to update or revise its forward- looking statements even if experience or future changes
make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
