Brian Atwood 

In March 2014, the Company, acting through its newly-formed subsidiary BA Brand Holdings LLC (“BA Brands”), purchased the intellectual property and related assets of Brian Atwood® from Brian Atwood IP Company LLC, for a purchase price of approximately $6,750, in cash, and a 20% ownership interest in BA Brands. The acquired intellectual property portfolio includes the Brian Atwood® designer brand and the B Brian Atwood® contemporary brand. In connection with the acquisition, the Company has licensed the Brian Atwood® designer brand to Brian K. Atwood (“Atwood”), who will have full operational and creative control in the design, production and distribution of the designer brand. The Company will manage the B Brian Atwood® brand and collaborate with Atwood on the design, production, marketing and distribution of B Brian Atwood® brand footwear and handbags. The purchase price for the acquired assets has primarily been allocated to the trademarks and to the Company's preferred interest in BAI Holding, LLC., which controls the operating company that will sell the Brian Atwood® designer brand.
