Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

We lease our domestic distribution center from a joint venture, HF Logistics-SKX, LLC (the “JV”), that we formed with HF Logistics I, LLC (“HF”) in January 2010 for the purpose of constructing and maintaining the facility. From time to time, HF has refinanced its interest in the JV, which we report in our financial statements as a wholly consolidated entity.

On April 30, 2010, the JV, through HF Logistics-SKX T1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV (“HF-T1”), entered into a construction loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and as a lender, and Raymond James Bank, FSB, as a lender (collectively, the “Construction Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the JV obtained a loan of up to $55.0 million used for construction of our U.S. distribution center (the “2010 Loan”). On November 16, 2012, HF-T1 executed an amendment to the Construction Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”), which added OneWest Bank, FSB as a lender, increased the borrowings under the 2010 Loan to $80.0 million and extended the maturity date of the 2010 Loan to October 30, 2015.  

On August 11, 2015, the JV, through HF-T1, entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and as a lender, and CIT Bank, N.A. (formerly known as OneWest Bank, FSB) and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as lenders (collectively, the “Amended Loan Agreement”), which amended and restated in its entirety the Construction Loan Agreement and the Amendment. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the parties agreed that the lenders would loan $70.0 million to HF-T1 (the “2015 Loan”). Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the interest rate per annum on the 2015 Loan was LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (as defined therein) plus a margin of 2%.  The maturity date of the 2015 Loan was August 12, 2020, subject to HF-T1 having an option to a 24-month extension upon payment of a fee and satisfaction of certain customary terms.

On August 11, 2015, HF-T1 and Bank of America, N.A. also entered into an ISDA master agreement (together with the schedule related thereto, the “Swap Agreement”) to govern derivative and/or hedging transactions that HF-T1 concurrently entered into with Bank of America, N.A. Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, on August 14, 2015, HF-T1 entered into a confirmation of swap transactions (the “Interest Rate Swap”) with Bank of America, N.A. The Interest Rate Swap had an effective date of August 12, 2015 and a maturity date of August 12, 2022, subject to early termination at the option of HF-T1, commencing on August 1, 2020.

On March 18, 2020, HF-T1 entered into an amendment to the Amended Loan Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Raymond James Bank, N.A. and CIT Bank, N.A. (the “2020 Amendment”) that increased the borrowings under the 2015 Loan to $129.5 million and extended the maturity date of the 2015 Loan to March 18, 2025 (the “2020 Loan”). As of the date of the 2020 Amendment, the outstanding principal balance of the 2015 Loan was $63.3 million. The additional indebtedness of $66.2 million under the 2020 Amendment is being used by the JV through HF-T1 to (i) refinance all amounts owed on the 2015 Loan, (ii) pay $1.0 million in accrued interest, loan fees and other closing costs associated with the 2020 Amendment and (iii) make a distribution of $64.4 million to HF.  Pursuant to the 2020 Amendment, the interest rate per annum on the 2020 Loan is the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (as defined therein) plus a margin of 1.75%. The maturity date of the 2020 Loan is March 18, 2025.

On March 18, 2020, HF-T1 and Bank of America, N.A. also executed an amendment to the Swap Agreement (the “Swap Agreement Amendment”) to extend the maturity date of the Interest Rate Swap to March 18, 2025. The Swap Agreement Amendment fixes the effective interest rate on the 2020 Loan at 2.545% per annum. The 2020 Amendment and the Swap Agreement Amendment are subject to customary covenants and events of default. Bank of America, N.A. also acts as a lender and syndication agent under the Company’s credit agreement dated November 21, 2019.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement included as Exhibit 10.1 to this filing. Exhibit 10.1 is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The execution of the 2020 Amendment described in Item 1.01 constitutes the creation of direct financial obligations of the JV, of which the Company owns a 50% equity interest. The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

10.1 First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of March 18, 2020, by and among HF Logistics-SKX T1, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a joint venture entered into between HF Logistics I, LLC, and Skechers R.B., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and as a lender, and CIT Bank, N.A. and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as lenders.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO A&R LOAN AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to A&R Loan Agreement is dated as of the 18^th day of March, 2020 (the “First Amendment”) and is entered into by and between HF LOGISTICS-SKX T1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), each lender from time to time party to the Loan Agreement (individually, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, in its capacity as administrative agent for each Lender (“Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS:

A.Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders previously entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of August 12, 2015 (the “Loan Agreement”) in which Lenders agreed to make a $70,000,000.00 loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower, as evidenced by three (3) certain Amended and Restated Promissory Notes each executed on August 12, 2015 by Borrower, one in favor of each Lender and in the aggregate stated principal amount of $70,000,000.00 (the “Prior Notes”).  

B.Borrower has requested and Lenders are willing to increase the Loan to $129,505,000.00 and make certain other modifications to the terms of the Loan (the “Loan Modification”).

C.In connection with the Loan Modification, Borrower has executed of even date herewith by three (3) Amended and Restated Promissory Notes, one in favor of each Lender in the aggregate stated principal amount of $129,505,000.00, which amend and restate the Prior Notes (which had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $63,328,500.00 immediately prior to being so amended and restated), and increased the principal indebtedness by an additional $66,176,500.00.

D.Additionally, Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lender executed certain other loan modification documents of even date herewith.

E.Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders desire hereby to modify certain terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

I.The foregoing recitals are true and correct and constitute a part of this First Amendment.

II.Unless defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

III.Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders agree to modify and amend the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement as follows:

ARTICLE 1 – THE LOAN

The terms and provisions of Article 1 of the Loan Agreement are modified and amended as follows:

1.1.Provisions (b) and (c) of Section 1.6 (entitled “Payment Schedule and Maturity Date”) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.  For avoidance of doubt, (i) the Maturity Date

extension option provided in such provision is no longer available to the Borrower, and (ii) monthly principal amortization shall no longer be required.

ARTICLE 2‑ TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION, UNAVAILABILITY AND ILLEGALITY

The terms and provisions of Article 2 of the Loan Agreement are modified and amended as follows:

2.1.Section 2.5 (which currently reads “Intentionally Omitted”) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

2.5LIBOR Successor Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(a)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR with respect to the Loan for terms equal to one (1) month, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b)the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(c)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in Sections 2.3 and 2.5, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by Administrative Agent or receipt by Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. Administrative Agent’s Time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to

2

the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment including, without limitation, the Adjustment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment.  Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Administrative Agent.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under Subsection (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended.  During the period of such suspension, all proposed advances and all amounts from day to day outstanding which are not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Base Rate.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

2.2.The following language is hereby added to the end of the existing text and before the period at the end of the sentence contained in Section 2.7 (entitled “Survival”):

9.29Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable;

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

6

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

9.30Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guaranty, mortgage, or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
