<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">This amendment to current report on Form
8-K/A (the &ldquo;Amendment&rdquo;) amends the current report on Form 8-K, dated May 9, 2012, filed by Rocky Brands, Inc. (the
&ldquo;Company&rdquo;) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;Original Form 8-K&rdquo;). The Original Form
8-K reported the final voting results of the Company&rsquo;s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 9, 2012 (the &ldquo;2012
Annual Meeting&rdquo;). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to confirm the Company&rsquo;s decision regarding how frequently
it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company&rsquo;s named executive officers (&ldquo;Say-on-Pay
Vote&rdquo;). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.</P>

8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes held at the 2012 Annual Meeting, the Company&rsquo;s
shareholders approved conducting a Say-on-Pay Vote every year by a majority of the votes cast. The Company has considered the outcome
of this advisory vote and has determined that the Company will hold future say on pay votes on an annual basis until the occurrence
of the next advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay Votes.</P>
