The Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own certain shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as reflected in this Statement, including shares beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons, as a result of their entry into the LP Agreement as more specifically described in Item 2a) above.  No consideration was used to acquire beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which the Reporting Persons are deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of as a result of having entered into the LP Agreement or otherwise since the filing of the Schedule 13D. 

In addition to the shares that the Reporting Persons are deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of as a result of the LP Agreement, Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

This Statement is being filed to update the Issuer Common Stock ownership information included in the Schedule 13D and to disclose the execution of the Stock Trading Plans as more fully described in Item 6 below.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their respective investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the obligations of the Reporting Persons under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease their respective ownership of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock through purchases or sales of such Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by gift.  The review of their respective investments in the Issuer by the Reporting Persons will depend on various factors, including the Issuer’s business prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions, and any other facts and circumstances which may become known to the Reporting Persons regarding their respective investments in the Issuer.  At the time of filing this Statement, the Reporting Persons have no plans to purchase additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions but may engage in such transactions in the future. 

At the time of the filing of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any change in the board of directors or management of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (v) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (vi) changes in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (vii) causing a series of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (viii) a series of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (ix) any action similar to any of those described above.  However, Robert J. Fisher, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, may, in such capacity, from time to time, be involved in discussions which relate to the transactions described in this Item 4 and thus retains his right to modify his plans with respect to the transactions described in this Item 4, to acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer and to formulate plans and proposals which could result in the occurrence of any such events, subject to applicable laws and regulations.  The Reporting Persons disclaim any obligation to report on any plans with respect to the transactions described in this Item 4 that develop as a result of the Fisher family members’ involvement in the ongoing management as an officer or director of the Issuer and participation in decisions regarding the Issuer’s transactions.

Each of these Reporting Persons may sell or otherwise dispose of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock from time to time as circumstances dictate and reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any time.
