ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
[June 26, 2002] 1-800-FLOWERS.COM ("the Company") today announced that Charles
Lax, a partner with SOFTBANK Capital Partners, has resigned from the Company's
board of directors. Mr. Lax stated that he was resigning to focus his energies
on developmental companies with GrandBanks Capital, a new venture capital fund
sponsored by SOFTBANK.
"We are very proud to have been a part of the successful growth of
1-800-FLOWERS.COM. We made our investment more than three years ago and have
been actively involved, as the company has developed into a leading specialty
gift retailer," said Mr. Lax. "We believe 1-800-FLOWERS is one of the
best-managed companies we have ever been associated with and we remain excited
about its prospects for the future. Accordingly, SOFTBANK has no immediate plans
to reduce its position in FLWS. However, we reserve the right to make
dispositions of some or all of our shareholding at appropriate price levels in
the future," he added.
