NEWS Media Contact: Jeff Beckman 1-415-501-1698 LEVI STRAUSS & CO. ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE OF AMERICA'S REGION PRESIDENT SAN FRANCISCO (February 9, 2001) -- Levi Strauss & Co. (LS&CO.) today announced that James Lewis, president of Levi Strauss, the Americas, has left the San Francisco-based company to pursue other business interests in New York City. "Levi Strauss & Co. is a great company with powerful brands," said Lewis, "but I have decided to return to what is home for me and base camp for the apparel industry - New York City." Lewis, 50, joined LS&CO. last year. "Jim is an accomplished apparel executive who has worked very hard to contribute to our business success," said Philip A. Marineau, the company's president and chief executive officer. "However, Jim and I mutually agreed that his departure was the right course of action for him. I am thankful to Jim for his contributions and wish him the very best in his future endeavors." The company has launched an executive search for Lewis' replacement. In the interim, Marineau will manage the America's business together with the region's senior leadership team. "It will be a smooth transition," said Marineau. "We've made great progress in our business turnaround during the past year, and now have an undeviating focus on what needs to be done to achieve our business plans." -- more -- Lewis February 9, 2001 Add One Levi Strauss & Co. is one of the world's leading branded apparel companies, marketing its products in more than 80 countries worldwide.
