Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 29, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Charlotte Russe, Inc., entered into a Purchase Agreement with Forever 21 Retail, Inc. pursuant to which Charlotte Russe, Inc. sold certain Rampage store assets to Forever 21 Retail, Inc.

Included in the transaction are leasehold interests, store fixtures and equipment for 44 store locations operating under the Rampage store name. We will receive $325,000 per store location, or approximately $14 million of sales proceeds, from this all-cash transaction, subject to and contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of landlord consents with respect to each store. Forever 21 deposited the aggregate purchase price in an escrow account and the per store purchase price will be distributed from the escrow account to Charlotte Russe upon satisfaction of the aforementioned conditions with respect to each store. Of the 44 stores subject to the transaction, it is expected that 24 will cease to operate as Rampage stores on July 5, 2006, and the remaining 20 stores would cease to operate as Rampage stores on July 31, 2006. Rent occupancy and all other costs, expenses, fees or charges relating to each of the 44 stores will be apportioned between Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 based upon the date of transfer.

The press release announcing the transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
