Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 15, 2014 we entered into a seven-year exclusive worldwide fragrance license agreement with Abercrombie & Fitch Management Co., a subsidiary of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Under the agreement, we will create, produce and distribute new perfumes and fragrance-related products, including new men’s and women’s scents planned for both the Abercrombie & Fitch brand and Hollister Co. brand for 2016. We will distribute these fragrances internationally in specialty retailers, high-end department stores and duty free shops, and in the U.S., in duty free shops and potentially in Abercrombie and Hollister retail stores. Financo, LLC represented Inter Parfums in this transaction. The license agreement is subject to certain minimum sales, advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry.
