Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on March 22, 2010, an affiliated group of hedge funds holding outstanding warrants (the “BPW Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock of BPW Acquisition Corp. (“BPW”) filed an action captioned Pentwater Growth Fund, Ltd., et al. v. BPW Acquisition Corp., et al., C.A. No. 5367-VCS, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against BPW and The Talbots, Inc. (“Talbots”). The complaint alleges that BPW has breached the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2008, by and between the Company and Mellon Investor Services, LLC, related to the BPW Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) and its implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by proposing certain amendments to the Warrant Agreement. Specifically, the complaint challenges amendments proposed in the preliminary proxy statement filed by BPW with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2010 (the “Consent Solicitation”). On March 23, 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) seeking preliminary relief commensurate with their requested injunction. On March 26, 2010, the Court denied plaintiffs’ motion for a TRO. Ruling at the conclusion of the hearing on the motion, the Court found that none of the requirements for a TRO had been met: (1) that plaintiffs had not identified colorable claims; (2) that plaintiffs had identified no imminent, irreparable harm; and (3) that the balance of the equities tilted against any relief at this time.

The foregoing descriptions regarding the complaint and motion for a TRO are only summaries of such complaint and motion and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such complaint and motion, which are included herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

On March 26, 2010, BPW issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K.
