On November 26, 2013, Aeropostale Inc. (Aeropostale) announced that the Company's Board of Directors has adopted a limited term stockholder rights plan (the Plan), effective November 26, 2013.

On the contrary, Aeropostale informed that the Plan aims to provide stockholders with adequate time to fully assess a takeover bid, and if appropriate, allow the Board time to explore alternatives to maximize stockholder value. According to the Company, one preferred stock purchase right (a Right) will be distributed for each share of common stock held by stockholders of record on December 9, 2013 under the terms of the Plan. Aeropostale further informed that under certain circumstances, each Right will entitle stockholders to buy one one-thousandth of a share of newly-created Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $40. The Company also reported that it intends to put the Plan to a stockholder vote at the Company's 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, and if the requisite stockholder approval of the Plan is not obtained at the meeting, the Plan will expire on the date of such meeting.
