EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This post-effective amendment to our registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-170142) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2010 is being filed pursuant to Rule 462(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), solely for the purpose of filing as an exhibit to this registration statement the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm to the incorporation by reference into this registration statement of our independent registered public accounting firm’s reports dated February 10, 2011 (the “Accounting Firm Reports”) with respect to the consolidated financial statements of us and our subsidiaries, and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, contained in our annual report on form 10-K for our fiscal year ended November 27, 2010 and our five-week transition period ended January 1, 2011 (the “Annual Report”).  The Annual Report was incorporated by reference herein upon its filing on February 10, 2011. Exhibit 23.1 to the Annual Report contained the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm to the incorporation by reference of the Accounting Firm Reports into our registration statements on Form S-3 with File Nos. 333-142064, 333-118691 and 333-123903 and our registration statements on Form S-8 with File Nos. 333-133450, 333-63451, 333-62910, 333-97163, 333-63453 and 333-120539, but this registration statement on Form S-8 with File No. 333-170142 was inadvertently omitted from the list of registration statements contained in the consent. Other than the addition of this consent as an exhibit, this post-effective amendment does not change any of the information contained in the registration statement. Pursuant to Rule 462(d) under the Securities Act, this post-effective amendment shall become effective immediately upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
