Explanatory Note

Introduction

 

This statement constitutes Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on January 12, 2005 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) and subsequently amended on May 26, 2009 and July 21, 2010 (collectively with the Original Schedule 13D, the “Amended Schedule 13D”), by the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 of the Amended Schedule 13D), 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”).

 

In accordance with Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 2 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.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Amended Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the following after the last paragraph thereof:

 

On January 3, 2012, the Company and Steven Madden, the Company’s Creative and Design Chief , entered into an amendment dated as of December 31, 2011, to Mr. Madden’s existing employment agreement with the Company (the “Amended Madden Agreement”),1 pursuant to which, on February 8, 2012, Mr. Madden was granted 975,371 restricted shares of Common Stock under and subject to the terms of the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which shares will vest in equal annual installments over a seven year period commencing on December 31, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2023. The vesting of the restricted shares of Common Stock on each vesting date is contingent on Mr. Madden’s continued employment with the Company on each such vesting date and is subject to acceleration under certain circumstances described in the Amended Madden Agreement.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a), (b) and (d) The responses of each Reporting Person to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover page of this Amendment No. 3 are incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons have the following interest in the Company’s Common Stock:

 

(i) Steven Madden beneficially owns 4,030,228 shares of Common Stock, which includes (A) 607,582 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Madden, (B) 360,000 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by Mr. Madden through the exercise of options granted under and subject to the terms of the Plan, which are or will be exercisable by him within the next 60 days, (C) 1,057,271 shares of restricted Common Stock held by Mr. Madden (includes 81,900 shares that will vest on January 11, 2013 and 975,371 shares that will vest in equal annual installments over seven years commencing on December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2023, in each case subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the Plan and of Mr. Madden’s employment agreement, as amended; see Item 4 above in such regard), and (D) 2,005,375 shares of Common Stock, which are owned by BOCAP Corp., a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Madden. Such beneficial ownership represents 9.3% of the Company’s Common Stock (which is calculated based on a total of 42,866,477 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2011, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011 as adjusted to include 360,000 shares that are subject to options and are or will be exercisable within the next 60 days for a total of 43,226,477). Mr. Madden’s beneficial ownership does not include 731,196 shares of Common Stock, which are beneficially owned by the Steven H. Madden July 2010 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, an irrevocable trust established by Mr. Madden on July 12, 2010 for estate planning purposes, the trustee of which is unrelated to Mr. Madden and as to which Mr. Madden does not, directly or indirectly, have or share voting or investment power; Mr. Madden disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 


1 The Amended Madden Agreement was subsequently amended and restated to address an inadvertent omission in Section 1(f) of the Amended Madden Agreement; all other provisions of the Amended Madden Agreement remain unchanged.

BOCAP Corp.’s beneficial ownership does not include 1,664,853 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which are beneficially owned by Steven Madden as to which BOCAP Corp. does not, directly or indirectly, have or share voting or investment power; BOCAP Corp. disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Amended Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the following after the last paragraph thereof:

 

As previously disclosed, as security for the repayment of a loan in the principal amount of $3,000,000 made by the Company to Steven Madden in 2007 to facilitate the exercise of certain options held by Mr. Madden, Mr. Madden has pledged to the Company 315,000 shares (adjusted for a 3-for-2 stock split (effected as a dividend) which occurred on May 31, 2011) of the Company’s Common Stock directly owned by Mr. Madden. On January 3, 2012, Mr. Madden executed and delivered to the Company a Third Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note payable to the Company in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Third Amended and Restated Note”), which amends and restates the previously disclosed indebtedness to provide for a maturity date of December 31, 2023 and eliminates interest after December 31, 2011. The Third Amended and Restated Note further provides that, commencing on December 31, 2014 and annually on each December 31 thereafter through the maturity date, one-tenth (1/10th) of the principal amount thereunder, together with accrued interest, will be cancelled by the Company provided that Mr. Madden continues to be employed by the Company on each such December 31st and, contemporaneously, the Company will release a number of the pledged shares from the pledge generally correlating to the amount of indebtedness cancelled on such date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. The cancellation of the indebtedness will be accelerated under certain conditions stated in the Third Amended and Restated Note. In addition, interest at the rate of 6% will be reinstated and the repayment of indebtedness will be accelerated under certain conditions stated in the Third Amended and Restated Note.
