CLIFTON, N.J.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Linens Holding Co. (“LNT” or the “Company”), a leading home furnishings specialty retailer operating as “Linens ‘n Things,” today announced that as part of its ongoing financial restructuring, the Company plans to close fewer than the previously disclosed 87 underperforming stores. The actual number of store closings is now 57 (See attached list). LNT filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on May 2, 2008 and announced the closing of 120 stores at that time.

“The reduced number of store closings is the result of improvements in the outlook for these stores throughout the remainder of 2008 into 2009. We are pleased that we are able to keep additional stores open for the benefit of our guests, associates, vendors and the communities we serve,” said Michael F. Gries, Chief Restructuring Officer and Interim CEO. “While a very difficult decision, the stores that are closing are necessary given the current retail and economic climate and the need to drive the cost savings and operational efficiencies that will allow us to position LNT for long-term growth.”

Linens ‘n Things, with 2007 sales of approximately $2.8 billion, is one of the leading, national large format retailers of home textiles, housewares and home accessories. As of December 29, 2007, Linens ‘n Things operated 589 stores in 47 states and seven provinces across the United States and Canada. More information about Linens ‘n Things can be found online at www.lnt.com.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
