HARTMARX ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE WOMENSWEAR
MAKER
EXCLUSIVELY MISOOK, INC.
ACQUISITION EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE $.12 - $.15 TO FISCAL 2005
EARNINGS PER SHARE
CHICAGO, June 28, 2004 - - Hartmarx Corporation (NYSE: HMX) today announced
that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of
Exclusively Misook, Inc., a designer and marketer of upscale women's knit
products sold through leading specialty stores.
Homi B. Patel, president and chief executive officer of Hartmarx,
commented, "We are truly excited about having Exclusively Misook as part of the
Hartmarx family. Misook is the leading designer of very fine luxury knits
catering to the busy woman executive. Each Misook garment is custom-cut
individually by hand, meticulously sewn and hand-pressed, providing for a very
long-lasting, high quality product. This acquisition fits in perfectly with our
"best of class" strategy. The brand also has an exceptionally loyal following
among its core consumers and we see significant long-term opportunities for
high quality line extensions, licensing and international sales. We are very
pleased that Misook Doolittle, founder and designer, has agreed to continue as
president under a five-year employment agreement. So as to maintain its
uniqueness, Exclusively Misook will operate as an autonomous business and a
free-standing operating unit of Hartmarx."
"With this acquisition, our annualized women's segment revenues will
exceed $100 million and will enable us to accomplish our long-term goal of a
50/50 split between men's tailored and non-tailored categories much sooner than
originally anticipated. Misook's annualized operating results are expected to
contribute approximately $35 million in sales and $.12 - $.15 to Hartmarx
earnings per share in fiscal 2005. This all cash acquisition will be financed
almost entirely from internally generated cash utilizing the availability under
our current Senior Credit Facility," Mr. Patel concluded.
The terms of the transaction call for a cash payment at closing of $30
million subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Additional contingent
amounts would be payable over a five- year period if specified earnings levels
are achieved. The acquisition, which is subject to customary closing
conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino approval under the United States antitrust laws, is expected to close during July.

Misook's management team will continue to report to Misook Doolittle.
Misook Doolittle added, "Our business has grown very rapidly and we were
looking for a partner that would help take us to the next level. We are very
pleased to be associated with a company like Hartmarx that is not only
dedicated to high quality garments, but understands the great value of product
differentiation. Our affiliation with Hartmarx going forward will best enable
us to expand our product offerings and achieve our sales and earnings growth
objectives."
Kurt Salmon Associates Capital Advisors, Inc. acted as exclusive
financial advisor to Exclusively Misook in connection with this transaction.
-- More Hartmarx produces and markets business, casual and golf apparel under its own
brands including Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey-Freeman, Palm Beach, Coppley,
Cambridge, Keithmoor, Racquet Club, Naturalife, Pusser's of the West Indies,
