As of the close of business on April 23, 2010, Footstar, Inc. (the “Company”) is closing its stock transfer books and will no longer record transfers of shares of its common stock.  Certificates representing shares of the Company’s common stock are not assignable or transferable on the books of the Company after April 23, 2009 except by will, intestate, succession or operation of law.  The Company had previously closed its stock transfer books effective May 5, 2009, but determined to re-open them on December 15, 2009 to address significant numbers of unsettled trades. From and after April 23, 2010, and subject to applicable law, each holder of the Company’s common stock will have the right to receive distributions pursuant to, and in accordance with, the plan of complete dissolution and liquidation of the Company, as outlined in the Company’s definitive proxy statement which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2009, until the final liquidation distribution is made.
