SIZE="2">The Board of Directors of Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) accepted the resignation of Mr.&nbsp;Alain Benedetti, who resigned for personal reasons, as a (i)&nbsp;director of the Company; (ii)&nbsp;member and
Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Company; and (iii)&nbsp;member of the Compensation Committee of the Company, effective as of May&nbsp;31, 2009. The Board of Directors has appointed Mr.&nbsp;Louis&nbsp;L. Roquet, a current director of the
Company, as a member and the Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board. The Board has determined that Mr.&nbsp;Roquet is financially sophisticated. The Board has determined to waive for the present time the requirement under the Audit
Committee&#146;s charter that at least one member of the Audit Committee be designated as an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148;, as this term is defined under SEC rules. Neither the SEC nor the NYSE Amex requires the Company to designate
an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148;, and the Board has not determined that any of its current directors would qualify as such. </FONT></P>
