Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions The Company and its subsidiaries periodically enter into transactions with other entities or individuals that are considered related parties, including certain transactions with entities affiliated with trusts for the respective benefit of Paul Marciano, who is an executive of the Company, Maurice Marciano, Chairman Emeritus of the Board, Armand Marciano, their brother and former executive of the Company, and certain of their children (the “Marciano Trusts”). Leases The Company leases warehouse and administrative facilities, including the Company’s corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, California, from partnerships affiliated with the Marciano Trusts and certain of their affiliates. There were three of these leases in effect as of October 31, 2015 with expiration dates ranging from calendar years 2015 to 2020. Due to excess capacity at the Company’s corporate headquarters, the lease was amended in August 2015 to reduce the square footage by 13,070 square feet to 341,739 square feet. The amendment also provided for a corresponding pro-rata reduction in aggregate rent, common area maintenance charges and property tax expense due to the lower square footage. All other terms of the existing corporate headquarters lease remain in full force and effect. Aggregate rent, common area maintenance charges and property tax expense recorded under these related party leases for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014 was $4.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company believes the related party lease terms have not been significantly affected by the fact that the Company and the lessors are related. Aircraft Arrangements The Company periodically charters aircraft owned by MPM Financial, LLC (“MPM Financial”), an entity affiliated with the Marciano Trusts, through informal arrangements with MPM Financial and independent third party management companies contracted by MPM Financial to manage its aircraft. The total fees paid under these arrangements for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and November 1, 2014 were approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Consulting Arrangement After serving for over 30 years as an executive and leader for Guess?, Inc., co-founder Maurice Marciano retired from his position as executive Chairman of the Board and as an employee of the Company upon the expiration of his employment agreement on January 28, 2012. In connection with his retirement and under the terms of his previously existing employment agreement, the Company and Mr. Marciano entered into a two-year consulting agreement, subsequently extended for a third year (the “Marciano Consulting Agreement”), under which Mr. Marciano provided certain consulting services to the Company. The Marciano Consulting Agreement provided for consulting fees of $500,000 per year and continued automobile use in a manner consistent with past practice. The Marciano Consulting Agreement expired on January 28, 2015 and was not renewed. However, Mr. Marciano continues to serve the Company as a director and the Chairman Emeritus of the Board. The Company elected to continue to provide for automobile use subsequent to the expiration of the term of the Marciano Consulting Agreement based on Mr. Marciano’s continuing substantial contributions to the Company. There were no expenses incurred related to the Marciano Consulting Agreement during the nine months ended October 31, 2015. Total expenses incurred with respect to the Marciano Consulting Agreement were approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2014. Other Transactions From time-to-time, the Company utilizes a third party agent named Harmony Collection, LLC to produce specific apparel products on behalf of the Company. Armand Marciano, brother of Maurice and Paul Marciano, is part owner and an executive of the parent company of Harmony Collection, LLC. There were no payments made by the Company under this arrangement for the nine months ended October 31, 2015. The total payments made by the Company under this arrangement for the nine months ended November 1, 2014 were approximately $1.0 million. These related party disclosures should be read in conjunction with the disclosure concerning related party transactions in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015.
