TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As disclosed in Chico’s FAS, Inc.’s (the “Company”) 2007 proxy statement filed with the
Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 7, 2007, Patricia Murphy Kerstein’s current
employment agreement, as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2006, originally contemplated that Ms.
Murphy Kerstein would remain in the position of Executive Vice President throughout the initial
term of the agreement which initial term was scheduled to continue until March 31, 2008. As
disclosed, the Company’s plan was to transition Ms. Murphy Kerstein’s responsibilities to her
successor, Michele M. Cloutier, by the end of this initial term. The Company has been able to
effectuate this transition of responsibilities earlier than originally contemplated. Commensurate
with this completion of the transition of responsibilities Ms. Murphy Kerstein’s employment
agreement has been amended, effective October 3, 2007, to reflect that her title has changed from
Executive Vice President to Consultant, but without any reduction in her compensation or any other
changes or amendments to her employment agreement.
