$1.1 million of severance and other store closing costs primarily related to
the Plano and Mission Viejo store closings as well as the Portland, Oregon; San
Diego, California; and Charleston, South Carolina store closures in July 2010.

Excluding these after-tax charges, Saks would have recorded
a net loss of $20.5 million.  For
