TUESDAY DEADLINE REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Announces It Is Investigating Claims Against Ascena Retail Group, Inc. and Encourages Investors With Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Ascena Retail Group, Inc. ("Ascena" or "the Company") ASNA for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Ascena's acquisition of ANN, Inc. developed into a disaster for the Company based on ANN's operations to be in far worse condition than was generally believed to be the case. The Company improperly delayed the recognition of an impairment charge related to ANN's goodwill to mask the true extent of this problem. Based on this delay, the Company's income and assets were overstated and its financial results were not in conformity with GAAP. Ascena overvalued many of the brands in the ANN acquisition as they were in serious decline. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Ascena, investors suffered damages.
