Performance Graph
The following graph compares the changes in the cumulative total return to stockholders of our common stock
with that of the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones U.S. Apparel Retailers Index for the same period. The
comparison of the cumulative total returns for each investment assumes that $100 was invested in our common
stock and the respective indexes on May 13, 2010, which was the first day our stock was traded on the NYSE,
and includes reinvestment of all dividends. The plotted points are based on the closing price on the last trading
day of each quarter.
