Item 7.01.                      Regulation FD Disclosure
 
Officers of Burlington Coat Factory Investments Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) plan to meet with securities analysts and investors on November 20, 2008 at the Bank of America 2008 Credit Conference.  During this conference, the Company will disclose that:

·  
The Company believes that its October sales were positively affected, in general, by colder temperatures than last year which, combined with other operating initiatives, resulted in October comparative store sales not significantly off the Company’s previous four month trend.  With respect to November, the Company continues to see the same correlation between weather and sales trends regionally;

·  
Approximately $211 million was outstanding under the Company’s $800 million ABL Senior Secured Revolving Facility (the “ABL Facility”) at November 1, 2008 compared with $285.0 million outstanding under the ABL Facility at August 30, 2008;

·  
As of November 1, 2008, the Company had (i) $37.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, and (ii) $474.4 million of unused availability under the ABL Facility; and

·  
As of August 30, 2008, the Company’s (i) Consolidated Leverage Ratio for purposes of its Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan”) was 5.03 (compared with the Term Loan’s requirement of 6.40); and (ii) Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for purposes of the Term Loan was 2.86 (compared with the Term Loan’s requirement of 1.80).

Item 8.01                       Other Events

As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) for the fiscal quarter ended August 30, 2008 and in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 17, 2008, Company cash and cash equivalents of $59.0 million were invested in The Reserve Primary Fund ("Fund"), a money market fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Company redeemed the amount held at August 30, 2008 in September of 2008. During September 2008, the Company made additional investments into the Fund of $56.3 million.  On September 22, 2008, the Fund announced that redemptions of shares of the Fund were suspended pursuant to an SEC order so that an orderly liquidation may be effected for the protection of the Fund’s investors.   Through its press release dated October 30, 2008 (copy attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the “Press Release”), the Fund announced an initial distribution to Fund shareholders.  The Company received $28.6 million pursuant to this distribution.

As disclosed in the Quarterly Report, based on the decline in the value of the Fund in September of 2009, the Company estimates that it will need to record a loss of up to $0.7 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2009.  The Fund has announced that it is working with the SEC to complete a final plan of liquidation for the Fund and that periodic distributions will be made as cash accumulates in the Fund.  The Company has not yet received any further information as to when the remaining amount of its investment will be returned.  However, based upon the maturities of the underlying investments in the Fund, the Company expects to receive the majority of the remaining amount of its investment during fiscal 2009 and the balance during fiscal 2010.  In the event that the Company does not receive the majority of the remaining amount of its investment during fiscal 2009, the Company may have to borrow additional cash through its ABL Facility.

Reserve Primary Fund Makes Initial Distribution of $26 Billion to
Primary Fund Shareholders

New York, October 30, 2008 – The Reserve is pleased to announce that it began the initial $26 billion distribution to Primary Fund shareholders today by mailing checks to retail direct shareholders; payments by wire to all other shareholders will be made tomorrow. This represents approximately 50 percent of the total assets of the Fund as of the close of business on September 15, 2008. Approximately $25 billion in total assets remain in the Fund.

This first distribution is being paid to all investors remaining in the Fund, including those who submitted redemption orders that had not been funded. The distribution is being made on a pro rata basis to all of those investors. Each investor is receiving approximately 50% of their current account balance.

“This distribution marks a significant step in the process of liquidating the Primary Fund and distributing money back to shareholders,” said Bruce R. Bent, president of Reserve Management Company, Inc., the Fund’s adviser. “We are committed to making future distributions when more cash becomes available.”

The Fund’s total assets have been approximately $51 billion since the close of business on September 15. The Fund’s net asset value fell below $1.00 per share on September 16.

All investors are being treated the same regardless of when or if they tendered redemption orders to the Fund.

In the next several days, we expect to be posting a plan for the total liquidation of the Fund on our website. Under that plan, interim distributions will continue as cash accumulates either through the maturing of portfolio holdings or their sale.

Reserve Management Company, Inc. is focused on liquidating the fund’s holdings at amortized cost as quickly as possible. You may have read about a new Money Market Investor Funding Facility program devised by the Federal Reserve Bank that will provide liquidity for certain commercial paper and bank certificates of financial institutions held by money market funds. We are carefully analyzing the terms of that program.

Preserving the value of the Fund’s assets and restoring cash to our investors are our top priorities during this process. We thank all of you for your patience and sincerely regret the inconvenience.

In calculating each investor’s pro rata share, we began with the number of shares each investor held as of the close of business on September 14. The September 14 account balance includes the balance from the end of day September 12 plus the accrued dividends from September 1 through September 14. Then, expressed simply, any funded redemption requests or exchanges were subtracted, any subscriptions from September 15 through September 16 were added, and any service transactions (customer cards,
checks and ACH) processed through the last business day before the distribution were calculated.

The resulting number, representing each investor’s unfunded shares in the Primary Fund at the close of business, was then divided by the aggregated unfunded shares of all investors (approximately 51 billion shares), to arrive at an ownership percentage, which was used to calculate each investor’s pro rata distribution.

Interest income earned from September 1 through September 14, 2008, has been credited to each shareholder’s account. The distribution of income after that date will be addressed in the Fund’s Plan of Liquidation.

For more information regarding your specific account, please contact your financial adviser or our customer service department at 800-637-1700.

Note: The receipt of the distribution is without prejudice to any legal rights or remedies available to an investor.

An investment in the funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds. Money market yields may vary.
