Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported, on May 4, 2016, ARO Liquidation, Inc. (f/k/a Aéropostale, Inc., the “Company”) and each of its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code.  The chapter 11 cases are being administered jointly under the caption “In re ARO Liquidation, Inc., et al.”, Case No. 16-11275.

On August 16, 2017, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report for the period beginning June 2, 2017 and ending July 1, 2017 (the “June Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court, and on September 28, 2017, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report for the period beginning July 2, 2017 and ending July 29, 2017 (the “July Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court (collectively, the “Monthly Operating Reports”).  The June Monthly Operating Report and July Monthly Operating Report are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.  This Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Reports

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports, which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company.  The Monthly Operating Reports are limited in scope, cover a limited time period and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Monthly Operating Reports were not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and are subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.  There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Reports are complete.  The Monthly Operating Reports also contain information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.  Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
