* Effective as of December 31, 2008, the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates (the “Plan”) was merged into the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates.  As a result, interests in the Plan which constituted securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no longer exist.  Therefore, this Form 15 has been filed to suspend the Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
