ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directions; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 20 2008, B. Michael Becker and Beth M. Pritchard were appointed to the board of directors of VS Parent Inc., the sole shareholder of VS Holdings, Inc.

Mr. Becker, 62 years of age, was a former audit partner for Ernst & Young LLP prior to his retirement in 2006. Subsequent to his retirement in 2006 Mr. Becker began a consulting practice which currently has an arrangement with Ernst & Young LLP to provide consulting services to two of its clients in the capacity of accounting and audit. Mr. Becker served as an audit partner for Ernst & Young LLP since 1979, where he spent the entirety of his career prior to his retirement. Mr. Becker holds an MBA and is a Certified Public Accountant.

Ms. Pritchard, 60 years of age, is Vice Chairman of Dean & Deluca. Ms. Pritchard joined Dean & Deluca in 2006, having previously served as President and CEO of Organized Living from 2004 until May 2005, when it filed a reorganization petition under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code and was subsequently liquidated. She also served as President and CEO of Bath & Body Works where she spent 12 years of her career helping to develop it into a specialty retail chain. Ms Pritchard has served on the board of Borders Group, Inc., and currently serves as a director of both Ecolab and Albertsons, Inc.

Under VS Parent’s director compensation program Mr. Becker and Ms. Pritchard will receive $5,000 per quarterly board meeting attended and an additional $1,000 for each committee meeting that they attend. In addition, both Mr. Becker and Ms. Pritchard will each be issued 15,000 stock-option grants. These stock-option grants are subject to a 25% vesting per year over four years and expire in ten years.

We confirm there is no transaction between Mr. Becker and Ms. Pritchard and VS Parent and its subsidiaries that would require disclosure under item 404(a) of regulation S-K.
