Item 2.05.   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On March 3, 2008, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it will close its Montreal, Quebec-based manufacturing facility operated by Golden Brand Clothing (Canada) Ltd, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Despite previous reductions in production over the last three years, the strengthening Canadian dollar and the increasing pace of imports by the Company’s competitors have caused the Company to reach the decision to close the manufacturing facility and to use other alternate production sources. The Company currently anticipates that the closure will occur on or around July 2008.
The Company will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K after it makes a determination of the estimated costs associated with the closure.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company on March 3, 2008 announcing the planned closure of the Canadian facility is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
