ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On May 11, 2018, Toys “R” Us, Inc. (the “Company”) posted to the website referenced below its annual financial report for its fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 pursuant to the reporting requirements set forth in Section 4.03(a) of the respective indentures governing the 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Pre-petition Taj Notes”) and the 11% Senior Secured ABL DIP Notes (the “Taj DIP Notes” and together with the Pre-petition Taj Notes, the “Taj Notes”) issued by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TRU Taj LLC (the “Issuer”) and TRU Taj Finance, Inc., and the financial information regarding the Issuer required pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.03(b) of such indentures. The posted financial information may be accessed through such website subject to a standard confidentiality acknowledgement. The website is hosted at: https://global.merrillcorp.com. Investors seeking access to financial information posted to the website must initially email the site administrator at datasite@merrillcorp.com to request access (please reference Toys “R” Us Financial Reporting in the subject line). Investors should not contact the Company regarding website access.

In light of recent amendments to financial reporting requirements contained in the indentures, the Company is no longer required to file any reports or other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and instead is permitted to satisfy the financial reporting obligations of the indentures by posting such required financial information on a website (which may be subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions) and is no longer required to conduct quarterly conference calls to discuss the financial results of the Company. In addition, beginning with the quarter ended May 5, 2018, the financial information required by the indentures will be that of the Issuer and its subsidiaries and not of any parent entities, including the Company.

The Company is currently a “voluntary filer” under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. As a result and in light of the recent reporting amendments, the Company intends to cease filing all reports with the SEC. All future financial reports required under the indentures will be posted to the above-referenced website. Holders of the Taj Notes should consult the website to access such information. Going forward, the Company does not intend to issue any press release or file with the SEC any additional Current Reports on Form 8-K to disclose the posting of any such financial or other information to the website.
