(2) On November 17, 2011, Sbar's Acquisition Corporation ("Sbar's"), an affiliate of Nicole Crafts LLC and Sbar's, Inc., accepted for purchase in a tender offer the reporting person's shares of common stock, no par value ("Shares"), of A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts, Inc. ("A.C. Moore") at a price per share of $1.60, net to the reporting person in cash, without interest thereon, subject to any required withholding of taxes.
