Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release that Hot Topic, Inc. (the “Company”) issued on November 20, 2007 containing certain financial information for the third quarter ended November 3, 2007.

The information in this Item 2.02 and the corresponding exhibit are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On November 15, 2007, Cynthia Cohen, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) informed the Company of her decision not to stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”). This decision was not the result of any disagreement with the Company known to any executive officer of the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices; nor does such determination or her expected departure as described above constitute removal for cause by the Company or the Board. Ms. Cohen is currently a member of the Board’s Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee. It is expected that Ms. Cohen will remain a member of the Board, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee until the date of the Annual Meeting, which is expected to occur in June 2008.
