Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously disclosed in its Form 8-K filing on January 8, 2009, Chico’s FAS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an oral consulting agreement with Verna K. Gibson, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the oral agreement, Ms. Gibson agreed to provide consulting services for a period of three months pertaining to areas of the Company’s operations, including merchandising, in which she has background and expertise. In connection therewith, the Company agreed to make three monthly payments of $30,000 to Ms. Gibson. On April 9, 2009, the Company verbally agreed to extend the term of the oral consulting agreement for a period of 3 additional months to allow Ms. Gibson to continue her work with the Company’s three brands. With this extension of the agreement, the Company will make three additional monthly payments of $30,000 to Ms. Gibson.
     As a result of the extension of the oral consulting agreement, Ms. Gibson will no longer be considered an independent member of the Company’s Board of Directors as prescribed by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company will remain in compliance with its Corporate Governance Guidelines as well as the listing standards of the NYSE, however, as 75% of its Board of Directors is still deemed to be composed of independent directors.
