ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On December 1, 2000, we issued a press release announcing the successful completion of the purchase of the Thrifys/Bluenotes, Braemar, and National Logistics Services divisions of Dylex Limited. With this acquisition, we will operate in Canada, through our Canadian subsidiaries, 116 Thriftys/Bluenotes stores and will commence the conversion of approximately 47 Braemar locations to American Eagle Outfitters stores.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2000, previously filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed on October 17, 2000, the total purchase price, as adjusted, was CDN $104.8 million in cash.

We financed the purchase price and related fees and expenses through cash from operations and from borrowings under a new Canadian bank credit facility entered into by one of our Canadian subsidiaries and which we guaranteed. We borrowed CDN $45 million on a seven year term basis and entered into an interest rate swap that fixes the effective interest rate at 7.37% per annum. The facility also provides for a CDN $7.5 million short term revolving working capital line for our Canadian operations.

The press release and Amending Agreement to the Purchase Agreement dated as of October 4, 2000 between Dylex Limited and American Eagle Outfitters Canada, Inc., Bluenotes, Limited, National Logistics Services, Inc., Retail Licensing Company and American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. are included as exhibits to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by this reference.
