This Amendment No. 3 to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this "Schedule 13E-3" or "Transaction Statement") is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Exchange Act"), jointly by the following persons (each, a "Filing Person," and collectively, the "Filing Persons"): (i) Perry Ellis International, Inc. ("Perry Ellis," or the "Company"), a Florida corporation and the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Perry Ellis common stock"), that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) Feldenkreis Holdings LLC ("Parent"), a Delaware limited liability company; (iii) GF Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; (iv) George Feldenkreis; (v) Oscar Feldenkreis; (vi) Fanny Hanono; (vii) the George Feldenkreis Revocable Trust UAD 12/23/13; (viii) the Oscar Feldenkreis Revocable Trust UAD 05/06/11; (ix) the Fanny Hanono Revocable Trust UAD 07/06/11; (x) the Erica Feldenkreis 2012 Irrevocable Trust UAD 10/17/12; (xi) the Jennifer Feldenkreis 2012 Irrevocable Trust UAD 10/17/12; and (xii) the Stephanie Feldenkreis 2012 Irrevocable Trust UAD 10/17/12. Filing Persons (iv) through (xii) are collectively referred to herein as the "Rollover Investors."
The Company, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "merger agreement"), dated June 15, 2018, which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "merger"), with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Mr. George Feldenkreis. Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, the Company is filing with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the "Special Meeting") at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve certain items of compensation that are based on or otherwise related to the merger and may become payable to certain named executive officers of the Company under existing agreements with the Company (the "golden parachute compensation"). The adoption of the merger agreement will require (1) the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of Perry Ellis common stock entitled to vote thereon outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting and (2) the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of Perry Ellis common stock entitled to vote thereon outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting that are not directly or indirectly owned by the Rollover Investors, any other officers or directors of the Company or any other Person having any equity interest in, or right to acquire any equity interest in, Merger Sub or any person of which Merger Sub is a direct or indirect subsidiary. A copy of the Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1) and a copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each share of Perry Ellis common stock, other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive $27.50 in cash (the "per share merger consideration"), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. The following shares of Perry Ellis common stock will not be converted into the right to receive the per share merger consideration in connection with the merger: (i) shares of Perry Ellis common stock owned by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) shares of Perry Ellis common stock owned by Parent and its subsidiaries, including such shares contributed to Parent by each Rollover Investor pursuant to the applicable rollover commitment letter under which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, such Rollover Investor has committed to contribute to Parent the amount of shares of Perry Ellis common stock set forth therein, and (iii) shares of Perry Ellis common stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act. The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the Company's shareholders. The Rollover Investors committed to contribute approximately 100.00% of their shares of Perry Ellis common stock
at the closing of the merger to Parent in exchange for a pro rata share of the equity of Parent based on a value for each share of Perry Ellis common stock so contributed of $27.50. Immediately following the merger, the Rollover Investors will own 100.00% of the equity securities of Parent.

Executive Summary The founder, George Feldenkreis, in potential concert with his son Oscar (the company CEO) and certain critical financing sources, has expressed his intention to the company Board of Directors to purchase the company and take it private. In order to help evaluate the offer and the Companys strategic alternatives, AlixPartners was asked, on behalf of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors, made up of the independent directors, to: Evaluate the Companys business plans Evaluate the Companys strategies Provide benchmarking and bottom-up analyses to refine the Companys projections Assist the Special Committee in the consideration of alternative strategies that could increase enterprise value, taking into account the unique interests of all constituencies and the resources needed and risks associated with such alternatives Assist the Special Committees other professionals in obtaining and compiling information that is needed to present the Company, or one or more business units, to prospective purchasers or investors In order to achieve these objectives, two Managing Directors Michael Feder and Bryan Eshelman - conducted interviews, reviewed documents, and analyzed data over a two week period. Based on the interviews, documents and data analyzed, AlixPartners believes the March 2018 Management Projections as presented for the fiscal years 2019 2021 is within a range that is reasonable and were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Companys management of the future financial performance of the Company.

Strategies Overall, the company operates like a wholesale apparel company, not like the owner and operator of brands. Particularly in todays retail environment, successful brand owners focus more on brand equity and end consumer attributes than accounts and floor space. There is no evidence of a strategic plan or strategic planning process. The Fiscal Year 2019 Budget is very high level and does not translate sales goals to operational strategies or priorities. The Company is highly wholesale sales motivated and seems to lack a strategic approach to managing brand points / levels of distribution, or to investment in building brands or understanding the brands end consumer. All incremental sales seem to be valued equally (both within and across brands), although a high level analysis of eliminating Non-core Brands has been done. Key growth opportunities (Retail, particularly e-commerce, and International) are under-resourced given the potential. - Retail is run separately by a merchant who does think about assortment and inventory, and somewhat about real estate, but not about consumer experience or the role of direct-to-consumer channel to the overall brand strategy E-commerce seems under-resourced and de-prioritized without any senior experienced digital leadership, no omni-channel inventory leverage (although a new loyalty program is multi-channel), no concerted effort to leverage drop shipping for retail customers, and no investment strategy aimed at driving the business. International sales are mainly run from the United States - - This Report is subject to the Disclaimer on page 2 of this Report This Report is strictly confidential and issued on a non-reliance basis as set forth in the Disclaimer 7
Business Plans Below represents certain high level risks and opportunities to the March 2018 Management Projections for the PERY Primary Businesses. The tables on the next two pages detail further risks and opportunities. The Perry Ellis brand could easily lose relevance due to the lack of brand investment. This would be a large potential problem for the company unless there is another plan. We heard nothing regarding this plan. Investment could be funded by potential savings in other business costs. This could also be true of other Core brands. may choose to not renew the license with PERY at expiration in due to While this was mentioned, it was somewhat downplayed as not a potential problem due to PERYs performance, the acquired brands different customer target and This could be a myopic view, and even more near term if Change of Control triggers a release. The relaunch of the Original Penguin brand is both a risk and opportunity. The Brand President expressed great confidence and yet, full-price sales are not assured. If the optimism is warranted, this could be a sleeper opportunity that could capture significant additional share. Brick and Mortar retailer contraction / Chapter 11 continues to be a threat to PERY. The Company has identified four retailers that could impact 2019, only adjusting for Bon-Ton. We feel that these and others present a continuing risk into the later years of the plan. This supports an urgency for development of a stronger brand and direct-to-consumer presence for all of the core brands, striving for a consumer pull rather than a retailer push business. The Other Businesses to varying degrees share the risks above. These businesses seem to represent businesses with fewer resources and less attention. Still these businesses represent over $400MM in 2021 revenue or 43% of the total. The brands in this category have limited DTC presence and in some cases concentrated customers suggesting greater risk. The current company Non-Core restricting plan is not aggressive enough in right sizing the organization for a business that excludes some of these other brands. Europe, Retail, Licensing and E-commerce however, are strategically important and possible growth opportunities. Even if the brands in Sportswear and Womens are not considered core brands, Europe, Retail, Licensing and E-commerce should certainly be strong growth candidates and high profit areas, which should belong in any on-going business consideration.

Benchmarking & Bottom-Up Analyses General comments on drivers of SG&A and organizational effectiveness: Complex organization difficult organizational structure with blurred lines of authority and responsibility CEO has 19 direct reports, 6 of whom have Perry Ellis brand management responsibilities Operations are siloed, for example: Sourcing offices are given the same product in order to bid amongst each other for the business, sometimes dealing with the same factories through two different PERY offices. Communication is not facilitated, no evidence of a management team but rather only of separate managers Change in many top roles dependent upon loyalty rather than capability Complex operation layers of incremental solutions and under-integrated acquisitions 8 Headquarters / showroom / design locations 12 DCs (including owned & 3PL), two in Florida, none ideally located for e-commerce 7 or 8 overseas Sourcing offices, sourcing through approximately 150 factories in 25 countries - - - - - - - This Report is subject to the Disclaimer on page 2 of this Report This Report is strictly confidential and issued on a non-reliance basis as set forth in the Disclaimer 12
Other matters The Special Committee also asked AlixPartners for our analysis on four specific questions: 1. Morale of the company? - Company morale seems normal no large concerns expressed nor over-optimism given the retail climate. - Head of HR did not seem to understand the current morale, nor any impact due to the potential transaction.Similarly, top management seem to view the potential transaction as a non-event or only have been told the positive (the family re-asserting control) without appreciation or understanding for what might change. 2. Strength of the leaders? The CEO has very good knowledge of the retail landscape in which his products compete, and expressed great relationships with customers. The rest of top leadership seem adequate to their fairly narrowly defined remits, are unknown quantities if given broader responsibilities or authority Current interim executives need to be fully vetted for being suited for ongoing responsibilities at a public company - - but - This Report is subject to the Disclaimer on page 2 of this Report This Report is strictly confidential and issued on a non-reliance basis as set forth in the Disclaimer 13
Other matters (cont) The Special Committee also asked AlixPartners for our analysis on four specific questions: 3. Assets the company has that can be developed / exploited? - Brands: The owned brands are real brands with heritage and potential equity. - Customer Relationships: While many customers are facing challenging conditions, the company has developed strong relationships could be further developed strategically, e.g. collaborative consumer research, product design, inventory planning, fulfillment. - Licenses: are strong licenses that leverage unique design and sourcing abilities within the company. 4. How best to organize to execute again these assets? - - - - Elevate the CEO role from chief salesperson to a true multi-disciplinary leader Create global brand owners with true responsibility for sales and margin in all channels Strengthen the marketing function both brand equity and digital Seek to better understand the end-consumer to develop apparel that is targeted and differentiated. Hire new senior administrative talent (CFO, CAO) to better manage financial operations and human resource functions.

Suggested Further Actions The following opportunities were identified at a high level during our brief plan assessment, but in AlixPartners opinion warrant further evaluation, planning, and potentially implementation: Further evaluation of the Non-Core Brand Analysis divestiture and restructuring plan Organizational structure, brand ownership vs. shared services, management spans & layers Further evaluation of overall cost structure (see next page) including: - - - Back office support / shared services Supply Chain network Sourcing Foreign Office structure and U.S. vs. Foreign Office Sourcing headcount and spend Review and re-negotiation of major indirect procurement spend, including benefits, travel, insurance, components of IT, maintenance & utilities, etc. Concerted planning and evaluation of high potential ROI investments, including - Increased marketing spend, particularly on owned brand building and consumer research International Expansion Direct-to-Consumer, particularly E-commerce, expansion - - This Report is subject to the Disclaimer on page 2 of this Report This Report is strictly confidential and issued on a non-reliance basis as set forth in the Disclaimer 15
Suggested Further Actions The following more detailed analysis of parts of the company SG&A highlights areas for potential further analysis. The "opportunity" suggested represents the annual run rate savings without considering any one-time "cost to get" or restructuring cost. These costs are normally estimated during a more detailed analysis or "QuickStrike." For example, using high level benchmarks a number of functions seem to have savings opportunities that could be reinvested in the brand marke"Leading" level. Net of potential savings, th suggest the company would have to spend more in SG&A whil Based on benchmarks, potential savings could be found Offset by a need to increase spending in Marketing - by to "Average" and to "Leading" even with Getting to "Leading" class in all areas, including Marketing, would yield an overall savings of significantly increased marketing spend. !I!II!I !IP.W!II. . .
