The following is a statement the Children’s Place Retail Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) has used in response to media inquiries regarding voting by employees who hold shares of the Company’s stock in the Company-sponsored 401(k) plan:

 

“The Company-sponsored 401(k) plan holds approximately 19,000 shares of The Children’s Place, representing less than one tenth of one percent of the Company’s outstanding stock. The Company inadvertently omitted contact information for distribution to plan participants initially requested by Ezra Dabah in a letter dated May 8, 2009. The Company was unaware of the omission until it was brought to our attention this past weekend. The Company complied with Mr. Dabah’s request this morning, and will do everything it can to ensure that its employees who are 401(k) plan participants holding Company stock are able to vote as they see fit.”
