(d) On April 10, 2017, the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of Francesca’s Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Philip Bleser to serve
as a Class III independent director of the Company, effective April 17, 2017 (the “Appointment Date”). The Board also
appointed Mr. Bleser to serve as a member of the Board’s Audit and Compensation committees.
In connection with such appointment to
the Board, Mr. Bleser will be entitled to receive the annual retainer in accordance with the Company’s director compensation
policy, which will be prorated for the period from the Appointment Date through the date of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. Mr. Bleser will also receive an award of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2015
Francesca’s Holdings Equity Incentive Plan. The number of restricted shares shall be determined by prorating $100,000 for
the period from the Appointment Date through the date of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and dividing that
amount by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Appointment Date. The award will vest in one installment
on June 8, 2017, subject to Mr. Bleser’s continued service through such date. The terms and conditions of the restricted
stock award to Mr. Bleser are similar to the terms and conditions of restricted stock awards granted to the Company’s directors
generally.
There was no arrangement or understanding
between Mr. Bleser and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Bleser was appointed as a director of the Company. There are no family
relationships between Mr. Bleser and any director or executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Bleser has no direct or indirect
