certain financial information in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January

Company of the following accounting pronouncements: (i) FASB Staff Position APB 14-1 “ Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash

Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities “ (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”) .
This Form 8-K presents disclosures updated from the Company’s originally filed Form 10-K to reflect
application of these new accounting standards on a comparable basis for all years presented. All
other information is presented as of the original filing date and has not been updated in this Form
8-K. The updates to the Form 10K, as set forth in this Form 8-K, for the retrospective application
of the previously mentioned new accounting standards are consistent with the presentation in the
Company’s quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 4, 2009. The sections

In addition, certain disclosures contained in Items 7, 8, and 9 of the Form 10-K have been enhanced

Company received on May 27, 2009.
All such updated and enhanced items of the Form 10-K are set forth in their entirety in Exhibits
99.1 through 99.5 hereto, and are incorporated by reference herein.
We have not updated or enhanced any other disclosures presented in our Form 10-K. All other
information is presented as of the original filing date and has not been updated in this Form 8-K.
Without limitation of the foregoing, this Form 8-K does not purport to update the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Form 10-K
with respect to any uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to

Securities and Exchange Commission. This Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K
and the Company’s other filings. Other filings may contain important information regarding

expectations of the Company that may have been reported since the filing of the Form 10-K.
