<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On June&nbsp;26, 2009, The Children&#146;s Place Retail Stores,&nbsp;Inc.
(the &#147;Company&#148;) published the following press release and mailed the letter
following the press release to the Company&#146;s stockholders:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Secaucus, New Jersey &#151; June&nbsp;26, 2009 &#151; </font></b>The Children&#146;s
Place Retail Stores,&nbsp;Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE) today mailed a letter to stockholders in support of its three highly
qualified and independent incumbent directors up for election at the Company&#146;s
2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July&nbsp;31, 2009.&#160; The Children&#146;s Place urges stockholders to
vote FOR the Company&#146;s nominees, Sally Frame Kasaks, Malcolm Elvey, and Norman
Matthews, on the WHITE proxy card &#151; and to reject the three hand-picked
nominees of former Chairman and CEO Ezra Dabah.&#160;
Since Mr.&nbsp;Dabah and his father-in-law, Stanley Silverstein, are existing
members of the Board, election of Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s three hand-picked nominees
would result in five of the nine members of the Company&#146;s Board being Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s
personal designees.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
letter outlines the decisive steps taken by the Board and management to
successfully revitalize the business following Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s forced
resignation in September&nbsp;2007 after Deloitte&nbsp;&amp; Touche, then the
Company&#146;s auditors, told the Board it was no longer willing to rely on his
representations in connection with its audits. The positive results from these
steps are clearly demonstrated by numerous metrics including overall sales
growth, comparable retail sales growth, expanding margins, increased liquidity
and higher earnings per share during fiscal 2008.&#160; The Children&#146;s Place share price has
outperformed all 15 companies in its peer group since the beginning of fiscal
2008.</font></p>

achievements are even more notable given that your Board and management were
able to deliver them in a very difficult retail and economic environment. This
progress was made in the wake of Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s disregard of accepted

fundamental performance based on any number of relevant metrics.&#160; For example, in fiscal 2008, revenue grew 7%,
gross margin expanded 200 basis points on lower markdowns and better inventory
management, and SG&amp;A expenditures grew more slowly than revenues, improving
by approximately 70 basis points.&#160; <b>Moreover, 2008 adjusted operating income increased more than 70%

Mr.&nbsp;Dabah has noted his &#147;accomplishments&#148; prior to his ouster, the facts
paint a starkly different picture.&#160;
Thirsty for growth in the mid-2000s, he orchestrated an undisciplined
pursuit of rapid growth and put in place a number of high-risk, poorly
developed strategies designed to accelerate top-line sales at any cost.</font></p>

operate Disney Stores in North America.&#160; </font></i></b>The Board approved this burdensome contract
based on Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s aggressive projections which the Company was unable
to achieve under his leadership.&#160; The
contract called for extensive store remodels, which became a significant cash
drain on the Company as well as a major distraction to management.&#160; Additionally, under Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s
supervision, the Company hastily constructed 68 stores with an untested
prototype whose design and construction was costly, poorly executed, and
ultimately deemed to be not in compliance with the contract.&#160; <b>As a result, the Company
had to record impairment charges and agree to remodel these stores at great
expense to stockholders.</b></p>

resulted in less rigorously chosen site locations, much larger stores and more
expensive build-outs.&#160; These stores,
based on Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s concepts, were 14% larger and nearly 50% more
expensive to construct compared with the stores the Company built from 2003 to
2005.&#160; <b>Furthermore,
in their first full year of operations, these stores vastly underperformed the
average first full year performance of stores opened in the prior three-year
period.</b></p>

concept to 54 stores and signed leases for additional larger footprint stores
to accommodate further expansion throughout 2007 and 2008.</font></i></b>&#160; Due
to his poor planning, significant operational issues forced the Company to
stall expansion plans.&#160; As leases had
already been signed, the Company had far more square footage than desirable and
had to record asset impairments for the additional larger stores.</p>

evidenced by the Company&#146;s fiscal 2008 performance.&#160; As noted above, in fiscal 2008, revenue grew
7%, gross margin expanded, adjusted operating income increased more than 70%
year-over-year, and <b>adjusted EPS increased 59%</b>.&#160; For Mr.&nbsp;Dabah to take credit for these

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">What
Mr.&nbsp;Dabah fails to recognize is that the strategic review he forced upon
the Company made it nearly impossible to recruit a permanent CEO during that period,

sold at any time.&#160; However, once the
strategic review formally concluded in February&nbsp;2009, without receipt of
any credible offers, including from Mr.&nbsp;Dabah himself, The Children&#146;s
Place accelerated the search process<b>&#151;</b>only to face
the additional impediment of Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s latest attempt to destabilize the
Company through this proxy contest<b>.&#160; Regardless, the search process is well
underway and the Board is confident in its ability to identify a superb

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Even
more interesting is Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s curious claim that he has found a solution
in his CEO candidate, Raphael Benaroya &#151; one of his hand-picked Board
nominees.&#160; However, qualifications aside,
according to SEC filings by Mr.&nbsp;Dabah, &#147;Mr.&nbsp;Benaroya has not made a

uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and performance to differ
materially are the risk that the Company will be unsuccessful in gauging

the highly competitive nature of the Company&#146;s business and its dependence on
consumer spending patterns, which may be affected by the downturn in the
economy. &nbsp;Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these

Information</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company filed a

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Your Board of Directors and management team have a track
record of creating value for The Children&#146;s Place stockholders and ask for your
support to continue to build on the Company&#146;s recent successes. Ezra Dabah was
asked to resign as CEO in September&nbsp;2007 after Deloitte&nbsp;&amp; Touche,
the Company&#146;s auditors at the time, told the Board it was no longer willing to
rely on Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s representations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Following Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s departure, The Children&#146;s Place
has made substantial positive changes that have improved corporate governance
and fueled a strong operational and financial turnaround.</font></p>

even more notable given that your Board and management were able to deliver
them in a very difficult retail and economic environment. This progress was
made in the wake of Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s disregard of accepted corporate governance
standards and strategic errors <b>&#151; including
his undisciplined pursuit of rapid growth at all costs, an onerous licensing
agreement with The Walt Disney Company, and the aggressive launch of expensive

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The actions undertaken by your Board and management have
resulted in strong fundamental performance based on any number of relevant
metrics. For example, in fiscal 2008, revenue grew 7%, gross margin expanded
200 basis points on lower markdowns and better inventory management, and
SG&amp;A expenditures grew more slowly than revenues, improving by
approximately 70 basis points. <b>Moreover, 2008
adjusted operating income increased more than 70% year-over-year, and adjusted
EPS increased 59%.</b>(</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">1)</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While Mr.&nbsp;Dabah has noted his &#147;accomplishments&#148; prior
to his ouster, the facts paint a starkly different picture. Thirsty for growth
in the mid-2000s, he orchestrated an undisciplined pursuit of rapid growth and
put in place a number of high-risk, poorly developed strategies designed to
accelerate top-line sales at any cost.</font></p>

America. </font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board approved this
burdensome contract based on Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s aggressive projections which the
Company was unable to achieve under his leadership. The contract called for
extensive store remodels, which became a significant cash drain on the Company
as well as a major distraction to management. Additionally, under Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s
supervision, the Company hastily constructed 68 stores with an untested
prototype whose design and construction was costly, poorly executed, and
ultimately deemed to be not in compliance with the contract. <b>As a result, the Company had to record impairment
charges and agree to remodel these stores at great expense to stockholders.</b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">From 2006 to 2007, Mr.&nbsp;Dabah
rushed square footage growth</font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. This
resulted in less rigorously chosen site locations, much larger stores and more
expensive build-outs. These stores, based on Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s concepts, were
14% larger and nearly 50% more expensive to construct compared with the stores
the Company built from 2003 to 2005. <b>Furthermore,
in their first full year of operations, these stores vastly underperformed the
average first full year performance of stores opened in the prior three-year
period.</b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">In 2007, Mr.&nbsp;Dabah
led the roll out of an untested shoe store concept to 54 stores and signed
leases for additional larger footprint stores to accommodate further expansion
throughout 2007 and 2008. </font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Due to
his poor planning, significant operational issues forced the Company to stall
expansion plans. As leases had already been signed, the Company had far more
square footage than desirable and had to record asset impairments for the
additional larger stores.</font></p>

customers, causing significant margin erosion <b>and

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">What Mr.&nbsp;Dabah doesn&#146;t tell you is that under his
tenure the Company significantly underperformed the S&amp;P Retail Index from
the time of the Company&#146;s IPO in September&nbsp;1997 until his departure. In
fact, during this 10 year period, The Children&#146;s Place stock underperformed the

RETAIL AND ECONOMIC CLIMATE</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In September&nbsp;2007, after Deloitte&nbsp;&amp; Touche,
the Company&#146;s auditors notified the Board they <b>were no longer willing to rely on Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s representations</b>
in connection with its audits, the Board rightfully concluded that Mr.&nbsp;Dabah
could no longer lead the Company. As a result, the independent directors took
the necessary step of changing leadership, a decision that helped to revitalize
the business and put the Company back on track following Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s
disastrous initiatives.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Current management and the Board took the following
decisive steps to reduce risk, enhance liquidity and return the Company to balanced
growth:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This focus on measured growth, profitability, and
liquidity has proven successful as evidenced by the Company&#146;s fiscal 2008
performance. As noted above, in fiscal 2008, revenue grew 7%, gross margin
expanded, adjusted operating income increased more than 70% year-over-year, and
<b>adjusted EPS increased 59%</b>. For Mr.&nbsp;Dabah
to take credit for these results is ludicrous. This performance was the direct
result of actions taken by your Board and management since September&nbsp;2007,
<b>many of which were necessary to remedy
actions taken by Mr.&nbsp;Dabah</b><b>.</b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Since his ouster, The Children&#146;s Place

robust search process to identify a permanent CEO, (the Board retained leading
retail executive search firm Herbert Mines) and is actively interviewing and
pursuing high-quality candidates for the position.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">What Mr.&nbsp;Dabah fails to recognize is that the
strategic review he forced upon the Company made it nearly impossible to
recruit a permanent CEO during that period, as high-quality candidates are
rarely willing to join a company that could be sold at any time. However, once
the strategic review formally concluded in February&nbsp;2009, without receipt
of any credible offers, including from Mr.&nbsp;Dabah himself, The Children&#146;s
Place accelerated the search process<b>&#151;</b>only
to face the additional impediment of Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s latest attempt to
destabilize the Company through this proxy contest<b>. Regardless, the search process is well underway and the Board is confident
in its ability to identify a superb individual to lead the Company forward once
the distraction of this proxy contest is over.</b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Even more interesting is Mr.&nbsp;Dabah&#146;s curious claim
that he has found a solution in his CEO candidate, Raphael Benaroya &#151; one of
his hand-picked Board nominees. However, qualifications aside, according to SEC
filings by Mr.&nbsp;Dabah, &#147;Mr.&nbsp;Benaroya has not made a determination as
to whether he is willing to be considered for the CEO position.&#148;</font></p>
