Acquisitions

Schwartz & Benjamin

In January 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of each of Schwartz & Benjamin, Inc., B.D.S., Inc., Quinby Ridge Enterprises LLC and DANIELBARBARA Enterprises LLC (collectively, "Schwartz & Benjamin"). Founded in 1923, Schwartz & Benjamin specializes in the design, sourcing and sale of licensed and private label footwear and distributes its fashion footwear to wholesale customers, including department stores and specialty boutiques, as well as the retail stores of its brand partners. The total purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $40,446, which is subject to a working capital adjustment. The total purchase price includes a cash payment at closing of $17,396, plus potential earn-out payments based on the achievement of certain earnings targets for each of the twelve month periods ending on January 31, 2018 through 2023, inclusive. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of the payments based on management's projections of the financial results of Schwartz & Benjamin during the earn-out period. At June 30, 2017, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $23,050.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by GAAP. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Schwartz & Benjamin were recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated as follows:



Inventory	$	12,698
Accounts receivable	10,733
Trademarks	4,000
Customer relations	3,900
Fixed assets	3,281
Prepaids and other assets	2,694
Accounts payable	(8,281		)
Accrued expenses	(4,669		)
Total fair value excluding goodwill	24,356
Goodwill	16,090

Net assets acquired	$	40,446

The allocation of the purchase price is based on certain preliminary valuations and analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analysis, within the measurement period, will change the allocation of the purchase price. Contingent consideration classified as a liability will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, until

the contingency is resolved, with changes recognized in earnings. The goodwill related to this transaction is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.
