The estimated market values provided are level 2 valuations as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”).
 
The Company regularly reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other-than-temporary. To determine if a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available evidence, including the issuer’s financial condition, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for any forecasted recovery. If a decline in value is deemed other-than-temporary, the Company records a reduction in the carrying value to the estimated fair value. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company reviewed its investments and concluded that the  unrealized loss on one of its municipal bonds was other-than-temporary.  The Company had been monitoring the status of the bond. In September 2013, a public notice was issued by the municipality that caused the Company to doubt the ultimate collectability of the bond. Considering this, all prior public information regarding the bond, and the duration of the loss, the Company determined the unrealized loss on the bond was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, the Company wrote the bond down to fair value and recorded an impairment loss of $ 200,000 .   The loss was included within other income and expense, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited).  
 
On May 1, 2013, the Company purchased a 50 % interest in a building in Montreal, Canada for approximately $ 3.2 million. This building serves as the Company’s Canadian office and distribution center. This real estate investment is accounted for as an equity-method investment under ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”) and is included within other assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

6.    Segment Information
 
The Company has two reportable segments: North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on earnings from operations and accordingly, interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. The “other” category in the tables below includes the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe, which do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment classification. Summarized segment data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

9.
Short-Term Borrowings
 
At September 30, 2013, the Company had a $ 60 million unsecured revolving line of credit with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO Harris Bank”) expiring April 30, 2014 . At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $ 25 million of borrowings outstanding at an interest rate of approximately 1.2 % , which was the highest balance during the quarter. The Company’s borrowing facility includes one financial covenant that specifies a minimum level of net worth. The Company was in compliance with this covenant at September 30, 2013.
 
On November 5, 2013, the Company cancelled its line of credit with BMO Harris Bank and concurrently entered into a new $ 60 million unsecured revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. The new line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% and expires on November 5, 2014. All other terms and conditions of the new line of credit remain essentially the same as the prior agreement , except there are no financial covenants in the new agreement .

10.
Contingent Consideration
 
Contingent consideration is comprised of two contingent payments that the Company is obligated to pay the former shareholders of The Combs Company (“Bogs”). The estimate of contingent consideration is formula-driven and is based on Bogs achieving certain levels of gross margin dollars between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The first contingent consideration payment was due in 2013 and was paid on March 28, 2013. The second payment is due in March 2016. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company remeasures its estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments at each reporting date. The change in fair value is recognized in earnings.
 
The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent payments as recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited) was as follows:

The current portion of the contingent consideration was recorded within accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The long-term portion was recorded within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The total contingent consideration was assigned to the Company’s wholesale segment.
 
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a level 3 valuation as defined by ASC 820.

GENERAL
   
The Company designs and markets quality and innovative footwear for men, women and children under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: “Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush,” “Stacy Adams,” “BOGS,” “Rafters,” and “Umi.”   Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.
   
The Company has two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”).   In the wholesale segment, the Company’s products are sold to leading footwear, department, and specialty stores, primarily in the United States and Canada.   The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas.   Licensing revenues are included in the Company’s wholesale segment.   The Company’s retail segment consisted of 18 Company-owned retail stores and its internet business in the United States as of September 30, 2013.   Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees.  
   
The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail businesses in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”) and Europe (“Florsheim Europe”).   The majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, and its results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and the retail environment in the United States.  
   
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
   
Third Quarter Highlights
 
Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2013 were $83.1 million, up 5% over last year’s third quarter net sales of $79.5 million. Earnings from operations increased 6% to $8.6 million this quarter, from $8.1 million in 2012. Consolidated net earnings attributable to Weyco Group, Inc. were $5.4 million in 2013, compared to $5.2 million in 2012. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.50 per share in 2013, from $0.48 per share in the third quarter of 2012. Earnings for last year’s third quarter included approximately $460,000 ($270,000 after tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) of income resulting from a reduction in the contingent consideration liability. See Note 10.
 
The majority of the increase in consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2013 came from the Company’s wholesale segment. Wholesale net sales increased $3.7 million this quarter compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to higher sales of the Nunn Bush brand. 
 
Excluding the $460,000 contingent consideration liability adjustment made in the prior year, consolidated earnings from operations would have been up approximately $940,000, or 12% for the quarter. This increase was driven by higher operating earnings in the Company’s wholesale and retail segments, partially offset by lower operating earnings from the Company’s other businesses. 
 
Year to Date Highlights
 
Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2013 were $221.7 million, up 3% over last year’s year to date net sales of $215.1 million. Earnings from operations decreased 2% to $17.0 million in the first nine months of 2013, from $17.3 million in 2012. Consolidated net earnings attributable to Weyco Group, Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $10.8 million, compared to $11.3 million last year. Diluted earnings per share to date through September 30, 2013 were $1.00 per share, down from $1.03 per share for the same period in 2012. Last year’s year to date earnings included approximately $1.7 million ($980,000 after tax, or $0.09 per diluted share) of income resulting from the contingent consideration adjustment described above.   
 
 
10

 
The majority of the increase in consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 came from the Company’s wholesale segment. Wholesale net sales increased $6.2 million in the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes of the Company’s Nunn Bush and Florsheim brands, and increased Bogs sales volumes in Canada due to the takeover of Bogs Canadian distribution in June 2012. 
 
Excluding the $1.7 million contingent consideration liability adjustment made in the prior year, consolidated earnings from operations would have been up approximately $1.3 million, or 8% for the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was driven by higher operating earnings in the Company’s wholesale and retail segments, partially offset by lower operating earnings from the Company’s other businesses. 
 
Financial Position Highlights
 
At September 30, 2013, cash and marketable securities totaled $44 million and outstanding debt totaled $25 million. At December 31, 2012, cash and marketable securities totaled $62 million and outstanding debt totaled $45 million.   The Company’s main sources of cash for the first nine months of 2013 were from operations, the maturities of marketable securities and proceeds from stock options exercised. The Company’s main uses of cash during the year to date period were for the payment of dividends, common stock repurchases, and payments on the revolving line of credit. The Company also paid approximately $3.2 million for a 50% interest in a building in Montreal, Canada on May 1, 2013 and had $1.9 million of capital expenditures.

The decrease in Stacy Adams third quarter net sales was primarily due to lower sales volumes with department stores. The increase in Nunn Bush third quarter and year to date net sales was mainly due to higher third quarter sales volumes with department stores and national shoe chains, driven by increased sales of new casual products. Florsheim’s third quarter net sales decreased due to lower sales volumes with department stores and international retailers. However, Florsheim’s net sales were up on a year to date basis due to higher sales volumes with national shoe chains. The Company took over the distribution of Bogs in Canada from a third-party licensee effective June 1, 2012. As a result, Bogs year to date net sales increased because there were nine months of Canadian operations in 2013, compared to four months in 2012. The increase in Bogs third quarter net sales was largely due to higher sales volumes with internet retailers in the United States.  
 
Licensing revenues consist of royalties earned on the sales of branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States and on branded footwear in Mexico and certain overseas markets.
 
Earnings from Operations
 
Earnings from operations in the North American wholesale segment were $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, up 8% from $6.6 million in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, earnings from operations for the wholesale segment were $13.0 million, down 1% from $13.1 million in the same period last year. Last year’s earnings from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included approximately $460,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, of income resulting from the contingent consideration adjustments described above. Excluding these adjustments, earnings from operations for the wholesale segment would have been up 16% and 13% for the quarter and year to date periods, respectively. No significant adjustments were made to the contingent consideration in the first nine months of 2013.  
 
Wholesale gross earnings increased by $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, due to higher sales volumes and higher gross earnings as a percent of net sales. Wholesale gross earnings were 32.6% of net sales in the third quarter of 2013 compared with 32.4% in last year’s third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, wholesale gross earnings were 31.3% of net sales in 2013 compared with 30.9% in 2012.
 
The Company’s cost of sales does not include distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection or warehousing costs).   Distribution costs for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.   For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, distribution costs were $8.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. These costs were included in selling and administrative expenses. The Company’s gross earnings may not be comparable to other companies, as some companies may include distribution costs in cost of sales.  
               
North American wholesale segment selling and administrative expenses include, and are primarily related to, distribution costs, salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs and depreciation.   As a percent of net sales, wholesale selling and administrative expenses were flat at 22% this quarter compared to the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, wholesale selling and administrative expenses were 24% of net sales in 2013 and 23% of net sales in 2012. Last year’s selling and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were reduced by the contingent consideration adjustments described above. Excluding these adjustments, 2012 selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales for the quarter and year to date periods would have been    23% and 24%, respectively.

North American Retail Segment
 
Net Sales
 
Net sales in the Company’s North American retail segment decreased approximately $289,000 or 5% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to the same period last year and decreased approximately $408,000 or 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period last year. There were eight fewer domestic stores at September 30, 2013 than at September 30, 2012, as the Company has been closing unprofitable stores. Same store sales were up 7% for the quarter and up 8% for the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to increased sales volumes in the Company’s internet business.
 
Earnings from Operations
 
Retail earnings from operations increased by approximately $190,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. These increases were mainly due the closing of underperforming stores since September 30, 2012 and increased internet business. Gross earnings as a percent of net sales increased to 65.7% this quarter, from 64.3% in last year’s third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, retail gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 65.4% in 2013, compared to 64.4% in 2012.
 
Selling and administrative expenses for the retail segment include, and are primarily related to, rent and occupancy costs, employee costs and depreciation. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 56% in the third quarter of 2013 and 58% in last year’s third quarter. To date in 2013, selling and administrative expenses were 56% of net sales, compared to 62% of net sales for the first nine months of 2012. The decreases in selling and administrative expenses relative to net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were primarily due to the closing of underperforming stores since last year.
 
Other
 
The Company’s other net sales increased 2% for both the quarter and first nine months of 2013 compared to the same periods last year. The quarter and year to date increases were primarily due to higher net sales in Florsheim Europe’s wholesale business. Florsheim Australia’s net sales were down 5% for the quarter and were flat for the first nine months of the year. These quarter and year to date results were achieved through higher net sales in Florsheim Australia’s retail businesses, offset by lower net sales in Florsheim Australia’s wholesale businesses. Florsheim Australia’s retail net sales were up 10% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 2012. Florsheim Australia’s wholesale net sales were down 21% and 13%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 2012. In local currency, Florsheim Australia’s retail net sales were up 25% (same store sales up 23%) and 16% (same store sales up 13%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, while Florsheim Australia’s wholesale net sales were down 11% and 8%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in U.S. dollars for both periods was caused by the weakening of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar in 2013.
 
Collectively, the earnings from operations of the Company’s other businesses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased approximately $226,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. The quarter and year to date decreases were primarily due to lower gross margins and higher selling and administrative expenses in Florsheim Australia’s wholesale businesses. The higher costs in Florsheim Australia’s wholesale businesses were to accommodate the BOGS expansion in Australia.
 
Other income and expense and taxes
 
Interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was down approximately $92,000 and $260,000, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, due to lower average investment balances this year compared to last year. Interest expense was down approximately $68,000 and $74,000 for the quarter and year to date periods, respectively, due to lower average debt balances this year compared to last year.
 
Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased approximately $130,000, mainly due to the recognition of a $200,000 other-than-temporary investment impairment loss during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, other expense increased approximately $700,000, primarily due to the other-than-temporary investment impairment loss as well as foreign exchange losses resulting from the revaluation of intercompany loans between the Company’s North American wholesale segment and Florsheim Australia.
 
 
13

 
The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was 35.9% as compared to 35.2% for the same period in 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30 was 35.5% in 2013 and 34.1% in 2012. The slightly higher effective tax rates for the quarter and year to date periods were primarily due to lower percentages of tax free municipal bond income relative to pretax earnings in the United States.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its cash, short-term marketable securities and revolving line of credit. The Company generated $13.9 million of cash from operating activities during the first nine months of 2013, and used $51,000 of cash in operating activities during the same period one year ago. The increase between years was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, and most significantly, in the inventory balance.
 
The Company paid cash dividends of $3.9 million and $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
The Company continues to repurchase its common stock under its share repurchase program when the Company believes market conditions are favorable.   During the first nine months of 2013, the Company repurchased 195,050 shares at a total cost of $4.6 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 628,475 shares available under its previously announced stock repurchase program.   See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” below for more information.
 
Capital expenditures totaled $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2013, including the purchase of a 50% interest in a building located in Montreal, Canada for approximately $3.2 million. This building serves as the Company’s Canadian office and distribution center. Management estimates that annual capital expenditures for 2013 will be less than $6 million.  
 
At September 30, 2013, the Company had a $60 million unsecured revolving line of credit with BMO Harris Bank. The Company repaid a net of $20 million on the line of credit during the first nine months of 2013. At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $25 million of borrowings outstanding at an interest rate of approximately 1.2%, which was the highest balance during the quarter. The Company’s borrowing facility includes one financial covenant that specifies a minimum level of net worth. The Company was in compliance with the covenant at September 30, 2013. On November 5, 2013, the Company cancelled its line of credit with BMO Harris Bank and concurrently entered into a new $60 million unsecured revolving line of credit with PNC Bank. The new line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% and expires on November 5, 2014.  
 
The Company made a contingent consideration payment of approximately $1,270,000 in the first quarter of 2013. A second contingent consideration payment is due to the former shareholders of Bogs in March 2016. See Note 10.
 
The Company will continue to evaluate the best uses for its available liquidity, including, among other uses, continued stock repurchases and additional acquisitions.  
 
The Company believes that available cash and marketable securities, cash provided by operations, and available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support for the cash needs of the business for at least one year, although there can be no assurances.

Loan Agreement

 

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (the “Agreement” ), is entered into as of November 5, 2013, between WEYCO GROUP, INC. , a Wisconsin corporation (the “Borrower” ), with an address at 333 West Estabrook Boulevard, Glendale, Wisconsin 53212, and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank” ), with an address at 411 East Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1400, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.

 

The Borrower and the Bank, with the intent to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1. Loan . The Bank has made or may make one or more loans (collectively, the “Loan” ) to the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement. The Loan is or will be evidenced by a promissory note or notes of the Borrower and all renewals, extensions, amendments and restatements thereof (if one or more, collectively, the “Note” ) acceptable to the Bank, which shall set forth the interest rate, repayment and other provisions, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

 

2. Obligations . Amounts owing by the Borrower under the Loan, the Note and all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document, (iii) for the payment of money, (iv) arising by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee, (v) under any interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement, (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner, or (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account, or out of the Bank’s non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements; and any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligations” . Unless expressly provided to the contrary in documentation for any other loan or loans, it is the express intent of the Bank and the Borrower that all Obligations including those included in the Loan be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted, such that collateral securing any of the Obligations shall secure repayment of all Obligations and a default under any Obligation shall be a default under all Obligations.

 

This Agreement, the Note, and all other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.

 

   

Form 7G - Multistate Rev. 9/12
 

 

3. Representations and Warranties . The Borrower hereby makes the following representations and warranties, which shall be continuing in nature and remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full, and which shall be true and correct except as otherwise set forth on the Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Addendum” ):

 

3.1. Existence, Power and Authority . If not a natural person, the Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation or organization and has the power and authority to own and operate its assets and to conduct its business as now or proposed to be carried on, and is duly qualified, licensed and in good standing to do business in all jurisdictions where its ownership of property or the nature of its business requires such qualification or licensing. The Borrower is duly authorized to execute and deliver the Loan Documents, all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents has been properly taken, and the Borrower is and will continue to be duly authorized to borrow under this Agreement and to perform all of the other terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

 

3.2. Financial Statements . If the Borrower is not a natural person, it has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Bank its most recent balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows, or if the Borrower is a natural person, its personal financial statement and tax returns (as applicable, the “Historical Financial Statements” ). The Historical Financial Statements are true, complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition, assets and liabilities, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise and the results of the Borrower’s operations for the period specified therein. The Historical Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( “GAAP” ) consistently applied from period to period, subject in the case of interim statements to normal year-end adjustments and to any comments and notes acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion.

 

3.3. No Material Adverse Change . Since the date of the most recent Financial Statements (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower has not suffered any damage, destruction or loss, and no event or condition has occurred or exists, which has resulted or could result in a material adverse change in its business, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operation.

 

3.4. Binding Obligations . The Borrower has full power and authority to enter into the transactions provided for in this Agreement and has been duly authorized to do so by appropriate action of its Board of Directors if the Borrower is a corporation, all its general partners if the Borrower is a partnership or otherwise as may be required by law, charter, other organizational documents or agreements; and the Loan Documents, when executed and delivered by the Borrower, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

3.5. No Defaults or Violations . There does not exist any Event of Default under this Agreement or any default or violation by the Borrower of or under any of the terms, conditions or obligations of: (i) its partnership agreement if the Borrower is a partnership, its articles or certificate of incorporation, regulations or bylaws if the Borrower is a corporation or its other organizational documents as applicable; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, franchise, permit, contract, agreement, or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound; or (iii) any law, ordinance, regulation, ruling, order, injunction, decree, condition or other requirement applicable to or imposed upon it by any law, the action of any court or any governmental authority or agency; and the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions set forth herein will not result in any such default or violation or Event of Default.

 

3.6. Title to Assets . The Borrower has good and marketable title to the assets reflected on the most recent Financial Statements, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except for (i) current taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) assets disposed of by the Borrower in the ordinary course of business since the date of the most recent Financial Statements, and (iii) those liens or encumbrances, if any, specified on the Addendum.

 

 

  - 2 - Form 7G - Multistate Rev. 9/12
 

 

 

3.7. Litigation .

$ 60,000,000.00 November 5, 2013

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , WEYCO GROUP, INC. , a Wisconsin corporation (the “Borrower” ), with an address at 333 West Estabrook Boulevard, Glendale, Wisconsin 53212, promises to pay to the order of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank” ), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at its offices located at 411 East Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1400, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, or at such other location as the Bank may designate from time to time, the principal sum of SIXTY MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ( $60,000,000.00 ) (the “Facility” ) or such lesser amount as may be advanced to or for the benefit of the Borrower hereunder, together with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof, all as provided below.

 

1. Advances . The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder until the Expiration Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Loan Documents (as defined herein). The “Expiration Date” shall mean November 5, 2014, or such later date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice from the Bank to the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Bank be under any obligation to extend or renew the Facility or this Note beyond the Expiration Date. In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances under this Note exceed the face amount of this Note.

 

2. Rate of Interest . Amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum which is at all times equal to (A) the Daily LIBOR Rate plus (B) seventy-five (75) basis points (0.75%). Interest hereunder will be calculated based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.

 

If the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the eurodollar market for the selected term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Daily LIBOR Rate, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be equal to the Base Rate (the “ Alternate Rate ”).

 

In addition, if, after the date of this Note, the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on the Daily LIBOR Rate, the Bank shall notify the Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be the Alternate Rate.

 

For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

 

Form 8C – WI (NCOJ) Rev. 8/12

 

 

Base Rate ” shall mean the higher of (A) the Prime Rate, and (B) the sum of the Federal Funds Open Rate plus fifty (50) basis points (0.50%). If and when the Base Rate (or any component thereof) changes, the rate of interest with respect to any amounts hereunder to which the Base Rate applies will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

 

Business Day ” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to be closed for business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

 

Daily LIBOR Rate ” shall mean, for any day, the rate per annum determined by the Bank by dividing (A) the Published Rate by (B) a number equal to 1.00 minus the percentage prescribed by the Federal Reserve for determining the maximum reserve requirements with respect to any eurocurrency fundings by banks on such day. The rate of interest will be adjusted automatically as of each Business Day based on changes in the Daily LIBOR Rate without notice to the Borrower.

 

“Federal Funds Open Rate” shall mean, for any day, the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) which is the daily federal funds open rate as quoted by ICAP North America, Inc. (or any successor) as set forth on the Bloomberg Screen BTMM for that day opposite the caption “OPEN” (or on such other substitute Bloomberg Screen that displays such rate), or as set forth on such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate as selected by the Bank (an “ Alternate Source ”) (or if such rate for such day does not appear on the Bloomberg Screen BTMM (or any substitute screen) or on any Alternate Source, or if there shall at any time, for any reason, no longer exist a Bloomberg Screen BTMM (or any substitute screen) or any Alternate Source, a comparable replacement rate determined by the Bank at such time (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error); provided however, that if such day is not a Business Day, the Federal Funds Open Rate for such day shall be the “open” rate on the immediately preceding Business Day. The rate of interest charged shall be adjusted as of each Business Day based on changes in the Federal Funds Open Rate without notice to the Borrower.

 

“Prime Rate” shall mean the rate publicly announced by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is determined from time to time by the Bank as a means of pricing some loans to its borrowers. The Prime Rate is not tied to any external rate of interest or index, and does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually charged by the Bank to any particular class or category of customers.

 

Published Rate ” shall mean the rate of interest published each Business Day in the Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” listing under the caption “London Interbank Offered Rates” for a one month period (or, if no such rate is published therein for any reason, then the Published Rate shall be the eurodollar rate for a one month period as published in another publication selected by the Bank).

 

3. Advance Procedures . If permitted by the Bank, a request for advance may be made by telephone or electronic mail, with such confirmation or verification (if any) as the Bank may require in its discretion from time to time. A request for advance by any Borrower shall be binding upon Borrower, jointly and severally. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to accept telephonic and electronic requests for advances, and the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon the authority of any person providing such instructions. The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Bank harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may arise or be created by the acceptance of such telephonic and electronic requests or by the making of such advances. The Bank will enter on its books and records, which entry when made will be presumed correct, the date and amount of each advance, as well as the date and amount of each payment made by the Borrower.

 

4. Payment Terms . Accrued interest will be due and payable on the first (1 st ) day of each month. The outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Expiration Date.

 

 

  - 2 - Form 8C - WI (NCOJ) Rev. 8/12
 

 

If any payment under this Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to charge the Borrower’s deposit account at the Bank for any payment when due hereunder. If the Borrower revokes this authorization for any reason whatsoever or fails to maintain a deposit account with the Bank which may be charged, the Bank may, at its option, upon thirty (30) days notice to the Borrower, increase the interest rate payable by the Borrower under this Note by twenty-five (25) basis points (0.25%). Payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), accrued interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.

 

5. Late Payments; Default Rate . If the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shall pay to the Bank a late charge equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or $100.00 (the “Late Charge” ). Such fifteen (15) day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Bank’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days) which shall be three percentage points (3%) in excess of the interest rate in effect from time to time under this Note but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate” ). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Bank’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a loan that is in default.
