On November 29, 2007, Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Michael L.

Mr. Henry replaces Gerald M. Chaney, who resigned as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary on November 26, 2007.
Mr. Henry, age 37, joined the Company in September 2000 as Controller. He has served as Vice President, Controller since February 2006.

Mr. Henry’s target incentive bonus will be 30% of his base salary with a maximum incentive bonus of 60% of his base salary. The annual incentive bonus is weighted 80% on the Company’s earnings component and 20% on individual performance component. Mr. Henry is also entitled to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, which provides for certain severance and outplacement benefits if a participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason. Mr. Henry’s severance multiplier under the Executive Severance Plan is one half (0.5), and in the event that he is terminated upon, within three months before, or within one year after, certain changes in control of the Company, his multiplier will be one (1.0). The Executive Severance Plan is described in more detail in Item 5.02 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2007, which description is incorporated by reference herein pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K.
