On November 28, 2007, Brian Carney was elected by the Board of Directors of Citi Trends, Inc.

Mr. Carney was granted an award of 414 shares of restricted stock under the Company’s 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan.  The restricted stock vests in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier vesting upon a change in control of the Company.

On November 30, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing Mr. Carney’s election to the Board, which press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
