Dear Valued Trading Partner:

As part of the Federated-May merger, some Kaufmann’s stores will merge into Famous-Barr effective January 29, 2006.

The merging Kaufmann’s stores will ship to N. Jackson, OH. The store numbers for these stores will not change. The remaining Filene’s stores will ship to South Windsor, CT.

Instructions: 1. Use the attached store cross-reference tables for the updated Famous-Barr and Filene’s store numbers, DC numbers and abbreviations. 2. Beginning December 18, 2005, we will begin sending purchase orders from Famous-Barr for the merging Kaufmann’s stores. These orders will use the Famous-Barr department numbers. 3. Through January 23, 2006, Filene’s/Kaufmann’s will continue to send purchase orders for the merging stores using the Filene’s department numbers. 4. Beginning January 29, 2006, all shipments received for the merging stores must have shipment information (ASNs, UCC128 labels, invoices) that reference Famous-Barr. EDI documents should be sent to the Famous-Barr receiver ID for these shipments. 5. Beginning January 29, 2006, all other EDI documents for the merging stores must be sent to the Famous-Barr receiver ID. 6. Beginning January 29, 2006 use the Famous-Barr and Filene’s Accounts Payable addresses listed below as the bill-to addresses for shipments. 7. The merging Kaufmann’s stores will ship to N. Jackson, OH. The remaining Filene’s stores will ship to South Windsor, CT. 8. Effective with shipments received after January 28, 2006, 12 stores’ ship-to location will change.

9. Follow the terms and conditions of the May Company EDI/Floor Ready Requirements and Routing Guide found at MDSPartners.com.

As of January 27, 2006, all open purchase orders in Kaufmann’s systems for the merging stores will be converted to Famous-Barr’s system. This will impact any communication you receive from May Department Stores regarding these orders. It is not necessary for you to make any purchase order number changes. If the converted purchase order number is duplicated in Famous Barr’s system, a high order "4" prefix will be assigned to the purchase order number (Example: PO # 1234567 becomes PO # 41234567).
