Adjournment of Annual Meeting
On June 7, 2012, Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) as previously scheduled. No business was able to be validly conducted at the Annual Meeting due to the lack of a requisite quorum. The requisite quorum is reached when a majority of outstanding shares of the common stock as of the record date entitled to vote on the subject matter is represented either in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. To permit additional time to receive shareholder votes on Proposal I (Election of Directors) and Proposal II (Ratification of Ernst & Young, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2012), such Proposals being described in the Company's Proxy Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2012, the Annual Meeting was adjourned until Wednesday, July 18, 2012, at 11 a.m. (central daylight time) and scheduled to reconvene at that time at the Company's offices located at 2815 Scott Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, 63103.
