This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D amends or amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer filed by Mr. Marciano with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2003, as amended by filings on June 21, 2004, July 8, 2004, October 21, 2004, May 15, 2006, February 20, 2007 and July 23, 2007.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 7 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 7 is being made to reflect the transfer among various indirect manners of holding shares for estate planning purposes and sales of shares for portfolio diversification purposes.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 7 does not modify any of the information previously reported by Mr. Marciano in the Schedule 13D as amended to date.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) As of October 17, 2007, Mr. Marciano may be deemed to beneficially own 22,625,710 shares of Common Stock which represents 24.0% of the 94,198,223 shares of the Common Stock that would be outstanding if he were to exercise all options exercisable within 60 days.  Of these shares, 4,079,942 are also includable in Section 13 reports by Paul Marciano, since they share investment power over such shares.  If the 2,039,972 shares in which Mr. Maurice Marciano holds no pecuniary interest are subtracted to eliminate double counting, Mr. Maurice Marciano would be deemed to beneficially own 21.9% of such outstanding shares.  As of September 6, 2007, there were 94,112,373 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Issuer for the quarter ended August 4, 2007.

(b) The 22,625,710 shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Marciano, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are held as follows:
