Based on preliminary information from the Depositary, stockholders of Charlotte Russe had tendered and not validly withdrawn 18,001,964 shares of Charlotte Russe's Common Stock (including shares tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures), which represents approximately 79.255% of the outstanding shares of Charlotte Russe's Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and 85.477% of the currently outstanding shares, and therefore satisfies the Minimum Tender Condition. The Purchaser has accepted for payment all validly tendered shares (not validly withdrawn) of Charlotte Russe 's Common Stock and will make payment to the Depositary for the accepted shares promptly.

On September 29, 2009 Parent and Purchaser issued a press release announcing the completion of the initial offering period and the immediate commencement of a subsequent offering period, which will expire at 12:00 A.M. midnight, New York City time, on Tuesday, October 13, 2009. All shares of Charlotte Russe 's Common Stock properly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be accepted, and tendering stockholders will receive the same price of $17.50 per share in cash. No shares of Charlotte Russe 's Common Stock tendered during the initial offering period or the subsequent offering period may be withdrawn. The full text of the press release announcing the completion of the Offer and the commencement of the subsequent offering period is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(L) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.”
