CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company and Parent obtained or created certain information used in the press release from research, surveys or studies conducted by third parties, information provided by customers, and industry or general publications. Industry publications and surveys generally state that they have obtained information from sources believed to be reliable but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information. The Company has not independently verified the information and data in such research, surveys, studies, information and publications, and does not make any representation as to the accuracy of such information.

The press release contains forward-looking statements and information about the Company’s current and future prospects and the Company’s operations and financial results, which are based on currently available information. The forward-looking statements include assumptions about the Company’s operations, such as cost control, market conditions, liquidity and financial condition.

Risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business or future financial results include, among others, risks associated with domestic and international economic activity, weather, public health and other factors affecting consumer spending (including negative changes to consumer confidence and other recessionary pressures), higher energy and security costs, the successful implementation of the Company’s growth strategy (including our ability to finance our expansion plans), the mix and pricing of goods sold, the effectiveness and profitability of new concepts, the market price of key raw materials (such as wool and cotton) and other production inputs (such as labor costs), seasonality, merchandise trends and changing consumer preferences, the effectiveness of our marketing programs (including compliance with relevant legal requirements), the availability of suitable lease sites for new stores, doing business on an international basis, the ability to source product from the Company’s global supplier base, legal and regulatory matters and other competitive factors.

Additional factors that could cause future results or events to differ from those the Company expects are those risks discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in Jos. A. Bank Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, Jos. A. Bank Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 4, 2013, Jos. A.

Bank with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Please read the Company’s “Risk Factors” and other cautionary statements contained in these filings. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, the occurrence of certain events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law, including the requirements of Rule 14d-9(c) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Schedule 14D-9. As a result of these risks and others, actual results could vary significantly from those anticipated in the press release, and the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
