Board of Directors of Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. Approves Amendment to Rights Plan to Preserve Value of Tax Benefits for All Stockholders

Board of Directors of Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. Approves Amendment to Rights Plan to Preserve Value of Tax Benefits for All Stockholders

CANTON, Mass., June 29, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMRG) (the "Company") announced today that its board of directors has approved an amendment to its existing rights plan (which is sometimes referred to as a "poison pill"). The amendment, which will be effective until the earlier of (i) the date immediately following the date of the Company's upcoming annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) August 31, 2009, reduces the beneficial ownership threshold under the rights plan from 15% of the Company's common stock to 5% of the Company's stock (including for these purposes options, warrants, other rights to acquire stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into stock) and otherwise expands the definition of "Acquiring Person" to include persons or groups that would be considered "5-percent shareholders" under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The rights plan amendment exempts stockholders whose current beneficial ownership of the Company's stock exceeds 5% percent so long as they do not acquire additional stock following the opening of business on June 29, 2009.

The amendment to the rights plan is intended to help preserve and maximize the long-term value of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and related tax benefits. The Company's ability to use its NOLs could be substantially reduced if the Company experiences an "ownership change," as defined under Section 382 of the Code. The calculation of an "ownership change" under the Code is based on changes in ownership of "5-percent shareholders" that collectively increase their aggregate percentage ownership by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such shareholders over a rolling three-year period.

The rights plan amendment does not ensure that the Company's NOLs will be protected from an ownership change as defined in the tax laws, and there can be no assurance that such an ownership change will not occur. The Company's board of directors may in the future take other actions, consistent with its fiduciary duties, including action to further amend, extend or terminate the current terms of the amended rights plan.

Additional information regarding the rights plan and the amendment thereto will be contained in a Current Report on Form 8a^'K and in an amendment to a Registration Statement on Form 8a^'A that the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These filings will be available on the SEC's Web site at www.sec.gov.
