Explanatory Note  

Introduction

 

This statement constitutes Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on January 12, 2005 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) and subsequently amended by amendments thereto filed on May 26, 2009, July 21, 2010, February 16, 2012 and July 9, 2012 (collectively with the Original Schedule 13D, the “Amended Schedule 13D”), by Steven Madden and BOCAP Corp. (each a “Reporting Person” and, together, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to their beneficial ownership of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Steven Madden, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

The number of shares indicated herein have been adjusted for an October 1, 2013 three-for-two stock split of the Company’s Common Stock effected as a stock dividend.

 

In accordance with Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements only information that has materially changed since the filing of the Amended Schedule 13D, including disclosure of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Unless otherwise stated, the information set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D remains accurate in all material respects.
