Chico’s FAS, Inc. Announces New $200 Million Share Repurchase Program

Fort Myers, FL – November 22, 2011 – As part of an ongoing commitment to return value to its shareholders, Chico’s FAS, Inc. (NYSE: CHS) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, effective November 23, 2011. This program replaces the now cancelled August 2010 $200 million program in its entirety that had $24.2 million remaining.
