Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Restricted Stock Unit Grants
On April 15, 2009, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors
granted restricted stock units, pursuant to our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as
amended to date (the "2005 Plan"), to our executive officers and Richard White,
one of our directors. The grants will enable them to receive shares of our
common stock, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions, as follows:
(i) up to 60,000 shares to Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, (ii) up to 40,000 shares to Sammy Aaron, our Vice Chairman; (iii) up to
30,000 shares to Wayne S. Miller, our Chief Operating Officer, (iv) up to 20,000
shares to Jeanette Nostra, our President, (v) up to 15,000 shares to Neal S.
Nackman, our Chief Financial Officer and (vi) up to 5,000 shares to Mr. White.
The above-named executive officers and Mr. White will be entitled to receive
these shares of our common stock only if the average closing price per share of
our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market is $6.93 (which is 20% above
the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the
date of grant) or higher over a twenty consecutive trading day period during the
four-year period commencing on April 15, 2009 and ending on April 14, 2013 (the
"Price Vesting Condition"). In addition, the right to receive these shares of
common stock will become vested in four equal annual increments beginning on the
first anniversary of the date of grant.
If the Price Vesting Condition is satisfied and the executive officer remains
employed by us (or, in the case of Mr. White, continues to serve as a director)
or otherwise provides service for us, we will issue to him or her 25% of the
shares of common stock to which he or she is entitled for each annual vesting
period that has then elapsed, and an additional 25% of the shares of common
stock on each subsequent anniversary of the date of grant, through the fourth
anniversary, but only if the executive officer remains employed by us (or, in
the case of Mr. White, continues to serve as a director) or otherwise performs
service for us on each anniversary date. If the Price Vesting Condition is not
satisfied within the four-year period, the restricted stock unit grants will be
canceled.
The number of shares of common stock to which the restricted stock units
relate and the vesting price will be appropriately adjusted in the event of
stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate events.
A copy of the form of Deferred Stock Award Agreement for these grants under
the 2005 Plan is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
