ABERCROMBIE & FITCH PROPOSES A WIN-WIN SITUATION<\/strong>
\nNew Albany, Ohio, August 12, 2011:\u00a0 Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) today reported that it has offered compensation to Michael ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, a character in MTV’s TV show The Jersey Shore to cease wearing A&F products.<\/p>\nA spokesperson for Abercrombie & Fitch commented:
\n“We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino’s association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image.\u00a0 We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans. We have therefore offered a substantial payment to Michael ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino and the producers of MTV’s The Jersey Shore to have the character wear an alternate brand.\u00a0 We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast, and are urgently waiting a response.”<\/p>\nAbercrombie & Fitch
