INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Company's Website.
Linens 'n Things, Inc. ("Linens") maintains a corporate website at
www.lnt.com. Linens plans to post significant corporate information on its
website, including, but not limited to, notices of scheduled conference calls or
recorded messages concerning sales or earnings results, and webcasts or
otherwise recorded presentations or meetings concerning Linens' operations or
financial results from time to time. Each notice will provide investors with the
time and date of the event as well as instructions on the access procedure.
Linens also plans to post on the Linens website from time to time
various presentation materials from certain investor conferences in which Linens
participated, including certain investor conferences which might not be webcast.
Linens believes that its website is an efficient and expeditious way to
communicate with investors. Accordingly, Linens intends to utilize its website
as part of its investor communication practices in response to Regulation FD.
This Form 8-K is intended to be formal notice that investors should access the
Linens website for information concerning Linens and its operations and
financial results including certain information concerning financial outlook and
objectives. Investors should also access Linens' website for information
concerning dates and times of scheduled conference calls and recorded messages
on sales and earnings, as well as investor conferences which are to be webcast.
All investors should be aware that posted or archived information on
Linens' website is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination by
Linens that the information is in fact material.
In addition, the posting or archiving of information on Linens' website
represents only what was Linens' belief or outlook as of the date such
information was originally issued or originally communicated by Linens and such
information may no longer be accurate or complete following such date. The
continued posting and archiving of such information on Linens' website is not a
representation that such information continues to be accurate or complete and
such information has not been updated.
Note on Forward-Looking Statements.
The referenced call, recorded message, investor conference (or
presentation materials) or other event also may include forward-looking
statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as
"expect," "look," "believe," "may," "will," "intend," "plan," "target,"
"objective," "goal" and similar statements or variations of such terms. Such
forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations,
assumptions, estimates and projections about our Company as of the date
originally made and involve certain significant risks and uncertainties
including levels of sales, store traffic, acceptance of product offerings and
fashions, the success of our new business concepts and seasonal concepts,
competitive pressures from other home furnishings retailers, the success of the
Canadian expansion, availability of suitable future store locations and schedule
of store expansion. These and other important factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are included
in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-1 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 1997, and
may be contained in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. You are urged to consider all such factors. In light of the
uncertainty inherent in such forward-looking statements, you should not consider
their inclusion to be a representation that such forward-looking matters will be
achieved. The Company assumes no obligation for updating any such
forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or
changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
