Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares for investment purposes based on their belief that the Shares are substantially undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity. Richard Schottenfeld, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, has engaged, and expects to continue to engage, in discussions with the Companys founder and chairman, Leonard Riggio, and other members of Company management with respect to a variety of matters, including changes in Company leadership at the executive and board level, implementation of operational improvements, and the desirability of selling the Company.

The Reporting Persons believe that high quality additions to the Companys board and management team would immediately enhance value both through improved operational performance and in the event of a sale. In that regard, Mr. Schottenfeld is engaged in discussions with Mr. Riggio regarding the recommendation of experienced and qualified individuals whom Mr. Schottenfeld believes would significantly contribute to the development and execution of the Companys strategic and operating plans.

The Reporting Persons strongly believe that the Company represents an attractive acquisition target. At an enterprise value of roughly 2.5x managements reiterated EBITDA guidance for the 2019 fiscal year, the Companys shares represent a truly unusual bargain in the retail sector, especially considering the Companys low seasonal-based leverage needs, 12% dividend, and the stabilizing same-store-sales trajectory of the past few months. Moreover, the Reporting Persons believe there are clear opportunities for immediate operational improvements, including: an increased emphasis on, and improved assortment of, toys and games for the upcoming holiday season to capitalize on the extraordinary opportunity to capture meaningful category share and significant revenue growth due to the recent closing of Toys R Us; a reallocation of shelf space and square footage away from unproductive music and DVD sales and towards higher margin, higher sales-per-square-foot product categories; enhancement to the experiential aspect of the stores to improve traffic and monetization of shoppers who are drawn to the unique and enjoyable shopping and browsing experience of the Companys stores and cafés (a customer experience similar to only a handful of other retail concepts, most notably Starbucks or Apple stores); extracting higher value from the Companys nearly 600 cafés, which are significantly undervalued when compared to recent transactions in the coffee space and are extremely attractive to coffee and other beverage brands seeking strategic expansion and national exposure.

The Reporting Persons are encouraged by recent third-party disclosure that the Company engaged in sale transaction discussions with a potential strategic acquirer as recently as June 2018, and believe that there will be additional and broadening interest from potential acquirers. The Reporting Persons encourage the Company to continue in its efforts to explore and seriously consider all available sale transaction opportunities.

In addition to the above, the Reporting Persons and their representatives have engaged in, and expect to continue to engage in, discussions with members of management and/or the board of directors of the Company, other current or prospective shareholders, industry analysts, potential strategic transaction partners, investment and financing professionals and other third parties regarding a variety of matters relating to the Company, which may include, among other things, the Companys business, management, operations and capital structure, as well as strategic alternatives potentially available to the Company. Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Companys financial position, results of operations and strategic direction, the market for the Companys securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and general economic and stock market conditions, and subject to applicable legal requirements, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) acquiring additional Shares and/or other securities of the Company; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Shares or other securities of the Company; and/or (iii) otherwise changing their intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

If the Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group with each of the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), and Rule 13d thereunder, due to the activities and intentions described in Item 4, the Reporting Person may have been deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares referred to in this Schedule 13D held by the other Reporting Persons, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, and the inclusion of the other Reporting Persons Shares in this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed to be an admission of beneficial ownership of such reported Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose.

The Reporting Person has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information given with respect to any other person or entity, including, without limitation, each of the other Reporting Persons.
