NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sycamore Partners today announced that TLB Merger Sub Inc., an entity affiliated with Sycamore Partners, has accepted for payment all shares of common stock of The Talbots, Inc. (TLB) (the "Company" or "Talbots") that were validly tendered into its tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $2.75 per share, net to the seller in cash, as of the expiration of the tender offer. The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, August 2, 2012.
The depositary for the tender offer advised that, as of the offer's expiration, 51,769,611 shares of common stock of the Company had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer, which, when added to the 6,999,316 shares of Company common stock owned by Sycamore Partners and its affiliates, represent approximately 83.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company. All such tendered shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.
Sycamore Partners intends to promptly move forward with a "short-form" merger under Delaware law after exercising its top-up option under the merger agreement, and Talbots will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLB Holdings LLC, an entity affiliated with Sycamore Partners. The merger is expected to be completed today, August 3, 2012. As a result of the merger, any shares of Talbots common stock not previously tendered will be cancelled and (except for shares held by Talbots, TLB Merger Sub Inc., TLB Holdings LLC or shares for which appraisal rights are properly demanded pursuant to Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the same $2.75 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. Following the merger, Talbots' common stock will cease to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

From the 8-K posted 4/13:
As announced on December 20, 2011, Talbots Board of Directors is exploring a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize value for all Talbots stockholders. Pending that evaluation, the Company will continue to pursue its long range plan. In addition, the Board of Directors continues its previously announced search for a successor President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Board has not set a definitive timetable for the completion of its evaluation and the Company stated that there can be no assurance of any transaction as a result of the Boardβs review. The Company does not intend to discuss the status of the evaluation or provide interim updates.
Perella Weinberg Partners is acting as financial advisor and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is acting as legal counsel to Talbots in connection with the Boardβs evaluation of strategic alternatives.
I'd say they need to step up the search for a new President and CEO.
As far as "strategic alternatives" to "maximize value", exactly what the hell does that mean?
After a disappointing quarter and a disappointing year, TLB might want to present a concrete plan of action and someone to execute it.
