ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On January 11, 2007, Hat World, Inc. (“Hat World”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesco Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Hat Shack, Inc. (“Hat Shack”), a retailer of headwear, in accordance with the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 9, 2006 (the “Agreement”) among Hat World, Hat Shack and all the shareholders of Hat Shack. Pursuant to the acquisition, Hat Shack has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hat World.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company acquired Hat World for $16.6 million in cash, including a preliminary adjustment for net asset levels, subject to a final post-closing adjustment. $1,000,000 of the purchase price is being held in escrow to satisfy any final net asset adjustment and $2,500,000 of the purchase price is being held in escrow to satisfy certain potential indemnification obligations of the Hat Shack shareholders. The Company funded the acquisition and associated expenses with cash on hand. The consideration paid under the Agreement was determined through arm’s-length negotiation between Hat World and Hat Shack.
