Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a tender offer statement
on Schedule TO that includes the Offer to Purchase and related
Letter of Transmittal that set forth the terms and conditions of
the tender offer. Additionally, Pep Boys will file with the SEC a
solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 that
includes the recommendation of the Pep Boys board of directors that
Pep Boys shareholders tender their shares in the tender offer.

11:59 P.M. New York City time on February 2, 2016), unless the
offer period is extended in accordance with the definitive merger
