G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. (NASDAQ:GIII) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01
| Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. | 
  On March 13, 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of
  Directors made a special one-time award to certain key executives
  in connection with the acquisition of Donna Karan International
  Inc. One-half of the amount of each award will be paid in cash
  and the other half will be made in the form of performance-based
  Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The Compensation Committee
  believes that the acquisition was a transformative event for
  G-III and that it was appropriate to recognize the roles played
  by the Companys key executives in consummating this acquisition.
  The total value of the special award made to each key executive
  officer (one-half as cash and one-half as RSUs) is as follows:
  Morris Goldfarb, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer-$4,000,000;
  Sammy Aaron, Vice Chairman and President-$2,500,000; Wayne S.
  Miller, Chief Operating Officer-$550,000; Neal S. Nackman, Chief
  Financial Officer-$200,000; and Jeffrey Goldfarb, Executive Vice
  President-$350,000.
  The RSUs will be issued to our 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as
  amended (the 2015 Plan). The number of shares covered by each RSU
  will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the RSU award
  (one-half of each special award) by the closing price of our
  common stock on the second trading day after release of our
  earnings for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017.
  Each RSU award will be subject to performance-based and
  time-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting
  condition will be satisfied if (and only if) either the
  performance goal in clause (a) or (b) (each, a Performance
  Condition) is attained:
  (a) the amount of the consolidated earnings before interest and
  financing charges, net, depreciation, amortization and income tax
  expense of the Donna Karan business is at least $25,000,000 in
  either the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018, January 31, 2019
  or January 31, 2020; or
  (b) the average closing price per share of our common stock on
  the Nasdaq Global Select Market over a twenty consecutive trading
  day period (i) during the period beginning on the date of grant
  and ending on or prior to March 28, 2019 is at least $30.00
  (which is approximately 23% above the closing price on the
  trading date prior to the date of the Compensation Committee
  meeting at which the special awards were made) or (ii) if the
  stock price performance condition in clause (b) is not satisfied,
  during the period beginning subsequent to March 28, 2019 and
  ending on or prior to March 28, 2020 is at least $31.50 (which is
  approximately 29% above the closing price on the trading date
  prior to the Compensation Committee meeting at which the special
  awards were made).
  If either of the Performance Conditions is met, then, the RSUs
  will become vested as to one-third of the shares on each of March
  28, 2018, March 28, 2019 and March 28, 2020 (the Time-Based
  Vesting Condition), subject to each executives continuous
  employment or service with us through the applicable Time-Based
  Vesting Condition date.
  If neither of the Performance Conditions is satisfied, we will
  not issue any shares of common stock to the RSU awards. If one of
  the Performance Conditions is satisfied
  after the first Time-Based Vesting Condition date (March 28,
  2018), then, at the time the Performance Condition is met, we
  will issue the shares of common stock that would have been issued
  on any prior Time-Based Vesting Condition date as if the
  Performance Condition had been met on or prior to that date.
  The number of shares of common stock to which any unvested RSUs
  relate will be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of
  stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate
  events.
  A copy of the form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for these
  grants under the 2015 Plan is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
