EXPLANATORY NOTE

CPI Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment (this “Amendment”) to its Form 8−K, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2011 (the “Original Form 8−K”), for the sole purpose of re-filing the Executive Chairman’s Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated March 18, 2011, between the Company and David M. Meyer regarding his compensation as Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The Company has requested confidential treatment from the SEC for portions of the Agreement filed with the Original Form 8−K, and the revised Agreement filed herewith reflects comments received from the SEC on the Company’s confidential treatment request. The revised Agreement now includes Schedule A with certain sections redacted as specified therein.  Except for the Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.52, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8−K in this Amendment. This Amendment speaks as of the original filing date of the Original Form 8−K, does not reflect events that may have occurred after the original filing date and does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Original Form 8−K.
 
Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
    The following summary of the Agreement with Mr. Meyer is repeated from the Original Form 8-K and is qualified by reference in its entirety to the Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.52 hereto and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
 
    On March 18, 2011, the Board re-appointed David Meyer as Executive Chairman.  In conjunction with this re-appointment, the Company entered into the Agreement with David M. Meyer regarding his compensation as Executive Chairman of the Board.
 
    The Agreement is effective March 18, 2011, and will continue for a term expiring on the last day of fiscal year 2011.  During the term of the Agreement, Mr. Meyer will oversee and supervise executive management of the Company relating to certain strategic goals as outlined in the Agreement.
 
    In consideration of the Agreement, and provided that Mr. Meyer remains Executive Chairman of the Board at all times during the term of the Agreement, Mr. Meyer will be eligible to receive a quarterly retainer of $75,000, payable on the first day of each quarter of the Company’s fiscal year during the term of the Agreement, beginning with the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2011.  Mr. Meyer is also eligible to receive a performance bonus for fiscal year 2011 based on certain Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA targets.  The performance bonus, if any, is awarded and payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the Company’s common stock.  Any such shares awarded to Mr. Meyer with respect to the performance bonus will be fully vested as of the date of such award.  In addition to the performance bonus, Mr. Meyer is also eligible to receive, at the sole discretion of the Board, a discretionary bonus of up to $100,000, payable in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, for fiscal year 2011.
 
    Mr. Meyer received 10,283 shares of restricted stock on March 23, 2011, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set out in the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan and in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement.  The restricted shares vest in four equal annual installments of 25% beginning on the last day of fiscal year 2011, or earlier upon certain acceleration events.
 
    The Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings related to the subject matter hereof.
