ITEM 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

Joseph Brehob has informed us of his resignation from our Board of Directors, effective October 5, 2005.

 

In connection with this, we have been informed by Federated Department Stores, Inc. (“Federated”), which recently completed its acquisition of The May Department Stores Company (which is a stockholder of ours), that this resignation is not an indication of any change in the commitment of Federated to The Knot. Furthermore, Federated retains the contractual right to appoint a director to our Board of Directors, although it will not use that right to replace Mr. Brehob at this time.

 

The Board appointed Matthew Strauss to the Audit Committee to fill the vacancy on that committee caused by Mr. Brehob’s resignation.
