TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
The Company issued its fiscal 2020 outlook on March 10, 2020, which included cautionary language related to supply chain disruption from COVID-19 potentially impacting its results beginning in the second quarter. Subsequent to March 10, 2020, the Company experienced a significant reduction in customer traffic and demand resulting from the continued spread of COVID-19. Effective March 18, 2020, the Company has decided to close all of its stores for two weeks. The Company’s eCommerce business, including Contactless Curbside Pickup and ship from store are continuing. Because of the negative impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial results and the uncertainty related to its duration, the Company is withdrawing its fiscal 2020 outlook. The Company is not providing an updated outlook at this time.
On March 18, 2020, the Company also released a statement related to the impact of COVID-19, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
