not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner, despite voting on at least one

can vote your shares with respect to &#147;discretionary&#148; items, but not with respect to &#147;non-discretionary&#148; items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange on which your
broker, bank or other agent may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other agent, the shares will be treated as broker

individuals to be elected as our officers by the Board; evaluates and recommends whether a Board or committee member qualifies as an independent director; stays abreast of developments in the area of corporate governance; and has oversight
responsibility for questions pertaining to the quality of the process by which the Board and committees conduct their affairs, the quality of the strategic planning process, matters of ethics and/or conflicts of interest on the part of the

Governance and Nominating Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including being able to read and understand basic financial statements, being over 21 years of age and having the highest personal
integrity and ethics. The Governance and Nominating Committee also considers such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to our affairs,
demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of our shareholders. However, the Governance and Nominating Committee
retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of our Board of Directors, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our
shareholders. In conducting this assessment, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers diversity, age, skills, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and Hot Topic, to maintain a balance of
knowledge, experience and capability. In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Governance and Nominating Committee reviews such directors&#146; overall service to us during their term, including the number of
meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair such directors&#146; independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Governance and Nominating Committee also
determines whether the nominee must be independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Governance and
Nominating Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Governance and Nominating Committee conducts any appropriate and
necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of our Board of Directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates&#146;
qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote. From time to time, we have paid various third party recruiters to help us identify potential nominees for our Board of Directors. </FONT></P> <P

available on our investor relations website at <I>http://investorrelations.hottopic.com</I>. Shareholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Governance and Nominating Committee to become nominees for election to the Board at

Our Policy on Shareholder Communications is available on our investor relations website at <I>http://investorrelations.hottopic.com</I>. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by sending written communications addressed to the
Secretary of Hot Topic at 18305&nbsp;E. San Jose Avenue, City of Industry, California 91748. Communications also may be sent by e-mail to the following address: <I>investorrelations@hottopic.com</I>. Any communication sent must state the name of the
shareholder making the communication and the number of shares owned by the shareholder. These communications will be reviewed by our Secretary, who will determine whether they should be presented to the Board. The purpose of this screening is to
allow the Board to avoid having to consider irrelevant or inappropriate communications (such as advertisements, solicitations and hostile communications that do not raise substantive matters for the Board&#146;s review). The screening procedures
have been approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>S<SMALL>TANDARDS</SMALL> O<SMALL>F</SMALL>

January&nbsp;20, 1993 and was subsequently approved by the shareholders. The Board adopted the 2006 Incentive Plan in connection with the upcoming termination of the 1996 Incentive Plan, which will terminate according to its terms on June&nbsp;14,

travel to and attendance at Board and committee meetings. In addition, in fiscal 2005, non-employee directors received a fee for their attendance at each regularly scheduled Board meeting and each meeting of a standing committee of the Board. The
Board meeting fee for members other than the Chairman of the Board was $5,000 per meeting and the Board meeting fee for the Chairman of the Board was $7,000 per meeting. Non-employee directors received fees of $1,000 for their attendance at each
Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee meeting, and $1,500 for their attendance at each Audit Committee meeting; provided the Chairs of the Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Audit Committee
received fees of $2,500 per committee meeting, and the Chair of the Audit Committee also received a $10,000 quarterly retainer for ongoing activities as Chair. In fiscal 2005, the total cash compensation paid to non-employee directors was $224,500.

receive options under the Directors&#146; Plan. Options granted under the Directors&#146; Plan are intended by the company not to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code. The exercise price of options granted under the Directors&#146; Plan
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of the grant. The maximum term of options granted under the Directors&#146; Plan is 10 years. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Generally, option grants under the Directors&#146; Plan are non-discretionary. The Directors&#146; Plan provides for each non-employee director to be
automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock upon becoming a member of the Board and an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock upon each of our subsequent annual meetings of shareholders. A Chairman who has not
previously served on the Board will automatically receive a stock option grant of 15,000 shares of common stock upon joining the Board, provided that if the Chairman has previously served on the Board, he or she will receive the number of shares
equal to the difference between 15,000 shares of common stock and the amount of his or her initial stock option grant (received upon initially joining the Board). The Chairman is also entitled to receive an automatic stock option grant of 3,750
shares (rather than 2,500 shares) of common stock upon each of our annual meetings of shareholders. Our non-employee directors received automatic option grants (3,750 shares to the Chairman and 2,500 shares to the other non-employee directors) under
the Directors&#146; Plan as provided above at the time of our 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Directors&#146; Plan also provides
that the Board may approve discretionary grants to our non-employee directors in amounts as the Board deems appropriate, and the Board has adopted a policy to make discretionary grants on an annual basis. In fiscal 2005, pursuant to this policy, the
Board approved discretionary grants to each non-employee director (other than the Chairman) of an additional option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock, and to the Chairman of an additional option to purchase 6,250 shares (rather than 5,000
shares) of common stock, each at the time of our 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In all, during the last fiscal year, we granted to

Plan) of such common stock on the date of grant was $20.67 per share. As of January&nbsp;28, 2006, 221,784 options had been exercised under the Directors&#146; Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

grant shall be made). The number of shares subject to the stock grant is determined based on the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. Pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, these stock grants vest 100% on the earlier

Compensation Committee believes that in order for us to succeed we must be able to attract and retain qualified executives. The objective of the Compensation Committee in determining the type and amount of executive officer compensation is to
provide a compensation package consisting of a base salary, bonus, and long-term incentives in the form of stock options and other stock awards, or some combination of the foregoing, that allows us to attract and retain talented executive officers
and to align their interests with those of shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee retained Mercer Human Resource
Consulting to provide input and advice to the Compensation Committee relating to the company&#146;s long-term incentive strategy for its executive team. Mercer provided a written report to the Compensation Committee in November 2005, and provided
further input and advice as the Compensation Committee continued its consideration of appropriate executive compensation in a competitive environment with evolving shareholder concerns (about companies in general, as opposed to Hot Topic
specifically) about executive compensation. The input of Mercer did not impact the Compensation Committee&#146;s determinations with respect to fiscal 2005 executive compensation, but has served as a factor in the Compensation Committee&#146;s
conclusions with respect to setting fiscal 2006 executive compensation figures and programs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Base Salary </B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During fiscal 2005, the base salaries for our executive officers were intended to be competitive with salaries of similar executive positions in
comparable companies in our industry. The Compensation Committee utilizes compensation survey data that includes retail and other relevant industries&#146; companies, as considered comparable or relevant to our company; however, the Compensation
Committee does not use a specific formula to set pay in relation to this market data. Annual adjustments in base salaries (except for the Chief Executive Officer, which is determined as provided below), if any, have generally been made effective at
the beginning of the third month of the fiscal year for which they are intended to apply and therefore also reflect in large part the prior year&#146;s business and individual performance achievements. Thus, the Compensation Committee has been able
to consider both an executive&#146;s exhibited value to the organization and its business, as well as his or her anticipated contributions to the success (both short-term and long-term) of the company for purposes of setting base pay levels.

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">as the individual contribution of each officer. Accordingly, our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, participate in an annual
executive incentive bonus plan, referred to as the Executive Bonus Plan, which provides for cash bonuses based upon the achievement of certain specified financial goals for us for the fiscal year. The Board of Directors, upon receiving the
Compensation Committee&#146;s recommendations, makes awards. The Compensation Committee annually establishes targeted profitability levels for the ensuing fiscal year in conjunction with our annual financial plan. Upon the achievement of various
increasing levels of profitability above the minimum target level, the Compensation Committee may choose to increase bonuses accrued to the Executive Bonus Plan; similarly, the Compensation Committee may choose to award less than target bonus, or no
bonus, in the event applicable financial goals are not reached. The purpose of the Executive Bonus Plan is to reward and reinforce executive management&#146;s commitment to achieve levels of profitability and return consistent with increasing
shareholder value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cash bonuses earned under the Executive Bonus Plan are paid each year upon completion of our annual audit of the
results of operations for the previous fiscal year by our independent auditors. In fiscal 2005, bonuses were not awarded for fiscal 2004 under the Executive Bonus Plan because the targeted profitability levels were not reached; though certain
members of the executive officer and officer group received bonuses pursuant to individualized arrangements. In fiscal 2006, bonuses were not awarded for fiscal 2005 under the Executive Bonus Plan, because the targeted profitability levels were not
reached; though we did make certain payments in excess of base salary to two executive officers who joined us in fiscal 2005 pursuant to individualized arrangements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

primarily incentive stock options, but beginning in fiscal 2005 we have granted nonqualified stock options. For fiscal 2006, based in part on input from Mercer Human Resource Consulting, as referenced above, the Compensation Committee has put in
place a long-term incentive structure that incorporates both nonqualified stock options, and stock award &#147;units&#148; pursuant to which shares of common stock will be issued to executive officers in the event long-term operating income goals
are met (in fiscal 2008). These awards are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for fiscal 2005, filed with the SEC on March&nbsp;22, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
