connection with such process will favorably impact our productivity
and profitability in the short-term or long-term and the timing of
any such matters, acceptance of the Company's fashions including
its seasonal fashions, effectiveness of the Company's brand

direct marketing sales, success of our catalogs in driving both our

successfully execute its sale events including the timing and
levels of markdowns and appropriate balance of available markdown
inventory, our ability to accurately estimate and forecast future
full-price and markdown selling for each of our brands, the success
of our current executive-level searches, the risk that the J. Jill

the cost savings, operational efficiencies, and other synergies
from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer
to realize than expected, the risk associated with integrating and
operating profitably and successfully as a multi-brand chain for
the first time, the risk that the acquisition will disrupt Talbots
