Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 19, 2016, Oxford Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired the lifestyle apparel brand Southern Tide (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Membership Interest and Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 19, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among S/T Group Blocker, Inc.; GCP Southern Tide Coinvest, Inc.; S/T Group Holdings, LLC; the Sellers identified therein; Brazos Equity GP III, as the Sellers’ Representative; and Oxford of South Carolina, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Southern Tide is a lifestyle apparel brand with an extensive selection of men’s shirts, pants, shorts, outerwear, ties, swimwear, footwear and accessories, as well as a women’s collection. The brand’s products are sold on the Southern Tide website and in department stores and specialty stores.
The purchase price for the Acquisition was $85 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on net working capital as of the closing date. The Company used borrowings under its U.S. credit facility to finance the transaction. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities for a transaction of this type.
The foregoing summary of certain material terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The disclosure provided under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01 as if fully set forth herein.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
For the remaining 41 weeks of the Company’s 2016 fiscal year, the Company expects the acquired Southern Tide operations to contribute approximately $35 million in sales, $7 million in operating income and $0.20 per share of earnings. These amounts exclude transaction expenses, integration costs and the impact of non-cash purchase accounting adjustments required under GAAP, the impact of which may be significant, particularly in fiscal 2016. The Acquisition was structured to provide the Company favorable tax treatment related to a step-up in basis of certain assets, including inventory and deductible goodwill.
