14. Brazil Management and Share Purchase Agreement-Arbitration Award and Settlement Agreement

Lakeland Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lakeland Brasil S.A. (“Lakeland Brasil” and together with Lakeland Industries, Inc., “Lakeland”) were parties to an arbitration proceeding in Brazil involving Lakeland and two former officers (the “former officers”) of Lakeland Brasil. On May 8, 2012, Lakeland received notice of an arbitral award in favor of the former officers.

On September 11, 2012, Lakeland and the former officers entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) which fully and finally resolved all alleged outstanding claims against Lakeland which are settled through the arbitration proceeding. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to a payment schedule to the former officers with a balance remaining as of October 31, 2014 of $4.25 million in US dollars consisting of 17 consecutive quarterly installments remaining of US $250,000 ending on December 31, 2018. Lakeland is current with all obligations pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. There is no interest payable. This amount is shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as $1,000,000 current maturity of arbitration settlement and $3,103,784 long-term portion ($174,351 of imputed interest).

In addition, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as additional security for payment of the Settlement Amount, Lakeland Brasil agreed to grant the former officers a second mortgage interest on certain of its property in Brazil, which mortgage is expressly behind the lien securing the payment of tax debts to a state within Brazil related to certain notices of tax assessment on such property. Lakeland also agreed to become a co-obligor, in lieu of a guarantor, for payment of the Settlement Amount.
