(“LNT” or the “Company”), a leading home furnishings specialty retailer operating as “Linens ‘n Things,” announced today that the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The national home furnishings chain will continue to operate its stores without interruption during the reorganization and the stores are open for business and expect to be well stocked with merchandise. The filing pertains only to LNT’s operations in the United States. The Company’s Canadian stores, which are among the strongest performers in the chain, are not included in the filing and there are no plans for a similar filing in Canada. The decision to file for Chapter 11 protection was driven largely by the impact of the current economic downturn on the Company’s operating performance. Filing for Chapter 11 provides the Company with the tools to restructure its balance sheet, close under-performing store locations, revisit certain agreements and position the Company for long-term success. LNT has requested immediate authorization and expects approval from the Court to continue paying employee salaries and benefits as well as to honor gift cards and store credits as normal. LNT has secured $700 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing from General Electric Capital Corp., which will ensure healthy merchandise flow as the Company prepares for the back-to-school and holiday selling seasons. The Company has been working closely with key vendors, who have been supporting the Company with new merchandise in recent weeks. The DIP facility will allow the Company to normalize relations with the larger vendor community. The Company believes the DIP facility will provide adequate working capital to meet its ongoing obligations during the restructuring. “The significant deterioration in the mortgage, housing and credit markets and the resulting impact on the retail marketplace, particularly the home sector, has overwhelmed the operating and merchandising improvements that we have made over the past two years,” said Robert J. DiNicola, Executive Chairman. “We are making the strategic decision to use a Chapter 11 filing to proactively address our capital structure and ensure that our stores will remain well stocked while we work through the steps to align the capital structure of the Company with the realities of today’s business environment. At the store level, we remain fully operational and ready to serve our guests.” The Company also announced that as part of its financial restructuring it plans to close 120 underperforming stores. (See attached list). “The decision to close stores was difficult but necessary to improve LNT’s financial position and place the Company on a firmer financial footing as we move forward,” stated Mr. DiNicola. “We will be able to realize important cost savings and operational efficiencies as a result of this process, allowing us to serve all our constituencies more effectively.” In order to help effectuate the Company’s financial restructuring, LNT’s Board of Directors has named Michael F. Gries, a noted financial restructuring expert and Co-Founder of Conway Del Genio Gries & Co., Chief Restructuring Officer and Interim CEO. Mr. DiNicola, the Company’s current Chairman and CEO, will become Executive Chairman. David Coder, currently Executive Vice President, Store Operations, has been appointed President and Chief Operating Officer of LNT. “As we move forward with LNT’s restructuring, the Board and I concluded that we needed to have additional restructuring expertise on our executive team,” added Mr. DiNicola. “Michael Gries is as good as it gets in this area, a nationally recognized leader with the deep experience in driving the financial initiatives necessary to position our Company for the future. I look forward to working with him to help LNT reach its full potential. I am also particularly pleased about Dave Coder’s promotion. He has been a key part of our past success and the operational strides we have made and will be integral in our reorganization efforts.” Linens ‘n Things, with 2007 sales of approximately $2.8 billion, is one of the leading, national large format retailers of home textiles, housewares and home accessories. As of December 29, 2007, Linens ‘n Things operated 589 stores in 47 states and seven provinces across the United States and Canada.
