Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 3, 2011, Oxford Industries, Inc. (the Company) completed its previously announced disposition of substantially all of the assets (other than accounts receivable originated by the Company and assets and operations relating to its golf business and Lyons, Georgia distribution center) of the Companys Oxford Apparel Group (the Oxford Apparel Sale) to LF USA Inc. (LF), a subsidiary of Li & Fung Limited. The purchase price paid by LF was $121,728,000, subject to adjustment based on net working capital as of December 31, 2010. After giving effect to a preliminary net working capital adjustment, the purchase price paid by LF at the closing of the Oxford Apparel Sale was approximately $108.2 million. The net working capital deficit resulted from the Companys retention of accounts receivable and goods in transit existing as of the closing date of the Oxford Apparel Sale, partially offset by the Companys retention of accounts payable of the Companys Oxford Apparel Group. The purchase price is subject to a final net working capital adjustment, which is expected to occur within 120 days of the closing date of the transaction. LF will purchase the Companys goods in transit relating to the Companys Oxford Apparel Group following the closing of the Oxford Apparel Sale.
In connection with the consummation of the Oxford Apparel Sale, the Company (or one of its subsidiaries), among other things, entered into (i) license agreements with LF to grant licenses (subject to the limitations set forth in the applicable license agreements) to LF to use the trade name Oxford Apparel perpetually in connection with its business, as well as to use certain other trademarks in connection with the manufacture, sale and distribution of mens dress shirts for certain periods of time in the applicable territory; (2) a services agreement with LF pursuant to which, in exchange for various fees, the Company or its subsidiaries will provide certain transitional support services to LF in its operation of the transferred assets; and (3) a limited non-competition agreement with LF pursuant to which the Company will agree (subject to the exceptions set forth in the non-comp etition agreement) not to engage in certain activities for a period of three years following the completion of the Oxford Apparel Sale.
The press release issued on January 4, 2011 announcing the completion of the Oxford Apparel Sale is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
