Mr. Geiger will directly assume the chief merchandising responsibilities while the search for a new Chief Merchandising Officer, which is already under way, continues. Aéropostale anticipates that there will be no disruption to its business, or to the merchandising calendar, as the Company has substantially finalized its assortments for both Summer 2007 and for the next back to school selling season.
Mr. Geiger added, “The success of our Company is based on a large, experienced, and talented group of merchants, designers, and operators. Our culture is unique and compelling, and the strength, depth, and commitment of our team have all helped us to become a respected national brand during the past decade."
"I expect to have a new Chief Merchandising Officer hired and in place on a timely basis. As in the past, we will continue to execute the merchandising initiatives that we have put into place with our primary focus clearly on our upcoming holiday business.”
