GROWTH INITIATIVE: 
STORE SEGMENTATION STRATEGY
 We are well positioned to benefit from localization
  589 stores, ~4 million gross square feet
  Wide range of customer types, end use needs and real estate locations
  Ongoing exercise to optimize size of store portfolio
 We must optimize the resources we have today:
  Inventory
  Store payroll
 We have divided stores on 2 dimensions that showed important differences
 in performance
  Customer Lifestyle; based on how She shops, Her fashion sense and
 where the store is located
  Climate; based on latitude and regional climate factors
 
 

 
12
Confidential
 This segmentation will allow for tailored
 assortments, layouts and merchandise
 presentation that appeal to different lifestyles
 Implements a business philosophy that is rooted
 in a customer-centric segmentation approach
 Improve metrics: increase turn, reduce
 markdowns, and drive gross margins
 Layering on of weather breaks and assortment
 pyramid gets the right product to the right stores

 In addition to the information set forth in this presentation, you should carefully consider the risk factors and risks and uncertainties included in the
 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as in this presentation.
 This presentation contains forward-looking information. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,”
 “achieve,” “plan,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “potential” or similar statements or variations of such terms. All
 of the information concerning our outlook, future liquidity, future financial performance and results, future credit facilities and availability, future
 cash flows and cash needs, and other future financial performance or financial position, as well as our assumptions underlying such information,
 constitute forward-looking information. Our forward looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and
 projections about the Company, are not guarantees of future results or performance, and involve substantial risks and uncertainty, including
 assumptions and projections concerning our liquidity, internal plan, regular-price and markdown selling, operating cash flows, and credit
 availability for all forward periods. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and
 uncertainties, including the following risks and uncertainties:
 our ability to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the BPW and related transactions;
 BPW’s ability to obtain the necessary support of its stockholders to approve the transactions, including the risk that the exercise of conversion rights
 by BPW’s stockholders, together with transaction costs incurred by BPW, may cause the balance of the BPW trust account to fall below the level
 necessary to consummate the transaction;
 BPW’s and our ability to obtain the necessary participation of BPW warrant holders in the exchange of BPW warrants for Talbots stock or warrants;
 our ability to satisfy the conditions to the $200 million credit commitment provided by GE or, failing that, to obtain sufficient alternative financing
 on a timely basis;
 the availability of proceeds of the BPW trust account following any exercise by stockholder of their conversion rights and the incurrence of
 transaction expenses;
 the continuing material impact of the deterioration in the U.S. economic environment over the past two years on our business, continuing operations,
 liquidity, financing plans, and financial results, including substantial negative impact on consumer discretionary spending and consumer
 confidence, substantial loss of household wealth and savings, the disruption and significant tightening in the U.S. credit and lending markets, and
 potential long-term unemployment levels;
 our level of indebtedness and our ability to refinance or otherwise address our short-term debt maturities, including all Aeon short-term
 indebtedness, on the terms or in amounts needed to satisfy these maturities and to address our longer-term maturities, as well as our working
 capital, strategic initiatives and other cash requirements;
 any lack of sufficiency of available cash flows and other internal cash resources to satisfy all future operating needs and other Company cash
 requirements;
 satisfaction of all borrowing conditions under all Aeon credit facilities including no events of default, accuracy of all representations and warranties,
 solvency conditions, absence of material adverse effect or change, and all other borrowing conditions;

 risk of any default under our credit facilities;  
 our ability to achieve our 2009 financial plan for operating results, working capital, liquidity and cash flows;
 risks associated with the appointment of and transition to a new exclusive global merchandise buying agent and that the anticipated benefits and cost
 savings from this arrangement may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected, and risk that upon any cessation of the relationship for
 any reason we would be able to successfully transition to an internal or other external sourcing function;
 our ability to continue to purchase merchandise on open account purchase terms at existing or future expected levels and with extended payment of
 accounts payable and risk that suppliers could require earlier or immediate payment or other security due to any payment concern or timing;
 risks and uncertainties in connection with any need to source merchandise from alternate vendors;
 any disruption in our supply of merchandise;
 our ability to successfully execute, fund, and achieve our supply chain initiatives, anticipated lower inventory levels, cost reductions, and our other
 initiatives;
 the risk that anticipated benefits from the sale of the J. Jill brand business may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected and the risk
 that estimated or anticipated costs, charges and liabilities to settle and complete the transition and exit from and disposal of the J. Jill brand business,
 including both retained obligations and contingent risk for assigned obligations, may materially differ from or be materially greater than anticipated;
 our ability to accurately estimate and forecast future regular-price and markdown selling, operating cash flows and other future financial results and
 financial position;
 the success and customer acceptance of our merchandise offerings;
 future store closings and success of and necessary funding for closing underperforming stores;
 risk of impairment of goodwill and other intangible and long-lived assets; and
