Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 17, 2013 Inter Parfums, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inter Parfums USA, LLC (the "Company"), entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of the fragrance division of Oscar de la Renta, LLC, the internationally renowned fashion house. Simultaneously, the firms entered into a worldwide and exclusive licensing agreement to create, produce and distribute perfumes and cosmetics under the Oscar de la Renta brand. The license is to run until December 31, 2025 with a 5 year optional term if certain requirements are met. Upon signing the agreement the Company paid an up-front entry fee of $5 million. The agreement is subject to certain minimum advertising expenditures and royalty payments as are customary in our industry. Financo LLC acted as the financial advisor to the Company in connection with this transaction.The transaction is expected to be completed and the license is to become effective by December 2, 2013, when the Company is to take over production and distribution of the existing Oscar de la Renta fragrance collections. The Company estimates that the purchase price for the inventory and certain assets will not be material.
