1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation — Effective January 31, 2016, Tailored Brands, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Tailored Brands”), became the successor reporting company to The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. (“Men’s Wearhouse”), pursuant to a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). Upon completion of the Reorganization, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Men's Wearhouse was automatically converted into one share of common stock of Tailored Brands, having the same designations, preferences, limitations, and relative rights and corresponding obligations as the shares of common stock of Men's Wearhouse. In addition, as part of the Reorganization, Men's Wearhouse's treasury shares were canceled. The consolidated assets and liabilities of Tailored Brands and its subsidiaries immediately after the Reorganization were the same as the consolidated assets and liabilities of Men's Wearhouse immediately prior to the Reorganization.
The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of Tailored Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. We believe the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, and the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Our business historically has been seasonal in nature and, as a result, the operating results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2016.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Tailored Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — We have considered all new accounting pronouncements and have concluded there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information, except for those listed below.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation . ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU 2016-09 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and we do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between previous U.S.GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial
6
position, results of operations and cash flows but expect that it will result in a significant increase in our long-term assets and liabilities given we have a significant number of leases.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result of this deferral, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. We are continuing to evaluate our method of adoption and the impact of this guidance, including recent amendments and interpretations, may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
2. Restructuring and Other Charges
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we began implementing initiatives intended to reduce costs and improve operating performance. These initiatives include a store rationalization program which identified approximately 250 stores to be closed as well as a profit improvement program to drive operating efficiencies and improve our expense structure. The store rationalization program includes the closure of approximately 80 to 90 Jos. A. Bank full line stores, the closure of all factory and outlet stores at Jos. A. Bank and Men’s Wearhouse (58 stores) and the closure of between 100 and 110 Men’s Wearhouse and Tux stores primarily as the result of the rollout of our shops within Macy’s stores. We expect the store rationalization and profit improvement programs to be completed in fiscal 2016.
A summary of the charges incurred for the three and six months ended July 30, 2016 along with cumulative charges incurred under these initiatives since inception, all of which relate to our retail segment, is presented in the table below (amounts in thousands):

Consists of $36.4 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) offset by a $1.4 million reduction in cost of sales for the three months ended July 30, 2016 . Consists of $49.4 million included in SG&A offset by a $1.2 million reduction in cost of sales for the six months ended July 30, 2016 . |
As of July 30, 2016, we estimate that cumulatively pre-tax restructuring and other charges related to these actions will approximate $113.0 million to $120.0 million, of which approximately $70.0 million to $75.0 million are estimated to be cash expenses. Included in the estimate of total pre-tax charges are approximately:
|
· |
|
Approximately $50.0 million of lease termination costs; |
|
· |
|
$43.0 million to $45.0 million of inventory and long-lived and intangible asset impairment charges, including accelerated depreciation relating to store closures; and |
|
· |
|
$20.0 to $25.0 million of consulting, severance and other costs. |

In addition to the restructuring costs described above, we incurred integration and other costs related to Jos. A. Bank totaling $2.0 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, respectively. For the three months ended July 30, 2016, $1.5 million of the integration costs are included in SG&A and $0.5 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. For the three months ended August 1, 2015, $4.6 million of the integration costs are included in SG&A and $0.5 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
For the six months ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, we incurred integration and other costs related to Jos. A. Bank totaling $5.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended July 30, 2016, $4.6 million of the integration costs are included in SG&A and $1.0 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. For the six months ended August 1, 2015, $10.4 million of the integration costs are included in SG&A and $0.5 million are included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
3. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders is determined using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the more dilutive earnings per common share amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method.
8
Basic and diluted earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders are computed using the actual net earnings allocated to common shareholders and the actual weighted-average common shares outstanding rather than the rounded numbers presented within our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and the accompanying notes. As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and the accompanying notes. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share allocated to common shareholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):

4. Debt
On June 18, 2014, The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. entered into a term loan credit agreement that provides for a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion (the “Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “ABL Facility”, and together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”) with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and Moores the Suit People Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, as co-borrowers. Proceeds from the Term Loan were reduced by an $11.0 million original issue discount (“OID”), which is presented as a reduction of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan on the balance sheet and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the Term Loan. In addition, on June 18, 2014, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”).
The Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes contain customary non-financial and financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, total leverage ratios and secured leverage ratios, as well as a restriction on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in excess of $10.0 million per quarter. Since entering into these financing arrangements and as of July 30, 2016, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio were above the maximums specified in the agreements, which was anticipated when we entered into these arrangements. As a result, we are currently subject to certain additional restrictions, including limitations on our ability to make acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness.

Credit Facilities
The Term Loan is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and will mature on June 18, 2021. The interest rate on the Term Loan is based on 3-month LIBOR, which was approximately 0.76% at July 30, 2016. However, the Term Loan interest rate is subject to a LIBOR floor of 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin which is currently 3.50%, resulting in a total interest rate of 4.50%. In January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, in which the variable rate payments due under a portion of the Term Loan were exchanged for a fixed rate (see Note 12).
In April 2015, The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. entered into Incremental Facility Agreement No. 1 (the “Incremental Agreement”) resulting in a refinancing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum. The Incremental Agreement did not impact the total amount borrowed under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the Term Loan of June 18, 2021, or collateral and guarantees under the Term Loan. In connection with the Incremental Agreement, we incurred deferred financing costs of $3.6 million, which will be amortized over the life of the remaining term using the interest method. In addition, as a result of entering into the Incremental Agreement, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $12.7 million consisting of the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs and OID related to the Term Loan, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
As a result of the interest rate swap and the Incremental Agreement, we have converted a majority of the variable interest rate under the Term Loan to a fixed rate and, as of July 30, 2016, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate of 4.91%.
The ABL Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $500.0 million, with possible future increases to $650.0 million under an expansion feature that matures on June 18, 2019, and is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The ABL Facility has several borrowing and interest rate options including the following indices: (i) adjusted LIBOR, (ii) Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) rate, (iii) Canadian prime rate or (iv) an alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or adjusted LIBOR for a one-month period plus 1.0%). Advances under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of up to 2.00%. The ABL Facility also provides for fees applicable to amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit which range from 1.50% to 2.00%, and a fee on unused commitments which ranges from 0.25% to 0.375%. As of July 30, 2016, there were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility.
We utilize letters of credit primarily to secure inventory purchases and as collateral for workers compensation claims. At July 30, 2016, letters of credit totaling approximately $30.2 million were issued and outstanding. Borrowings available under the ABL Facility as of July 30, 2016 were $420.5 million.
Senior Notes
The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, respectively, and will rank equally with all of the Company's and each guarantor's present and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Notes will mature on July 1, 2022. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year.
Long-Term Debt
On May 2, 2016, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facilities, we made a mandatory excess cash flow prepayment of $35.5 million on the Term Loan. As a result of this prepayment, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $0.9 million consisting of the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs and OID related to the Term Loan. In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased and retired $6.5 million of Senior Notes through open market
10
transactions, which were consummated via borrowings on our ABL Facility. As a result, we recorded a net gain on extinguishment totaling $0.8 million, which reflects the gain upon repurchase partially offset by the elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Senior Notes. The impact of these transactions is reflected as a net loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $0.1 million, which is included as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased and retired an additional $18.5 million of Senior Notes through open market transactions, which were consummated via borrowings on our ABL Facility and subsequently repaid.

7. Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 25.9% for the second quarter of 2016 from 33.3% for the second quarter of 2015 primarily driven by lower U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 30.4% for the first six months of 2016 from 33.8% for the first six months of 2015 primarily due to lower U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions, which is partially offset by non-recurring true-ups recorded in the first quarter of 2016.

Amounts reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, respectively, relate to changes in fair value for our interest rate swap, which is recorded within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
10. Share-Based Compensation Plans
For a discussion of our share-based compensation plans refer to Note 13 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. In June 2016 our shareholders approved the Tailored Brands, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 LTIP”), which replaced our 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 LTIP”). Awards are no longer available for grant under the 2004 LTIP but outstanding awards under the 2004 LTIP remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the awards and the 2004 LTIP. The number of shares of our common stock authorized for awards under the 2016 LTIP is up to 6.4 million, subject to adjustments. No awards have been issued under the 2016 LTIP as of July 30, 2016.
We account for share-based awards in accordance with the authoritative guidance regarding share-based payments, which requires the compensation cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the instrument issued and is recognized over the vesting period. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three and six months ended July 30, 2016 was $4.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 was $3.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Includes 71,896 shares relinquished for tax payments related to vested deferred stock units for the six months ended July 30, 2016. |
On April 3, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a change in the form of award agreements to be issued for grants of deferred stock units (“DSUs”) to participants under the 2004 LTIP. As revised, the award agreements provide that dividend equivalents, if any, will be accrued during the vesting period for such DSU awards and paid out only upon vesting of the underlying DSUs. As such, grants of DSU awards on or after April 3, 2013 earn dividends throughout the vesting period which are subject to the same vesting terms as the underlying share award. Grants of DSUs generally vest over a period of three years. DSU awards granted prior to April 3, 2013 are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents, if any, when and if paid to shareholders of record at the payment date. Included in the non-vested time-based awards as of July 30, 2016 are 11,288 DSUs granted prior to April 3, 2013.
The performance units granted in the first six months of 2016 represent a contingent right to earn shares of common stock, subject to the achievement of a Company-specific performance target for fiscal 2016-2017. Assuming the performance target is achieved, 50% of the award will vest on the two year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% of the award will vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date. Performance units that are unvested at the end of the performance period will lapse and be forfeited. The performance units earn dividends throughout the vesting period and are subject to the same vesting terms as the underlying performance-based awards.

As of July 30, 2016, we have unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested DSUs, performance units, and shares of restricted stock of approximately $26.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually. A more frequent evaluation is performed if events or circumstances indicate that impairment could have occurred. Such events or circumstances could include, but are not limited to, new significant negative industry or economic trends, unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, decisions to significantly modify or dispose of operations and a significant sustained decline in the market price of our stock. No impairment evaluation was considered necessary during the first six months ended July 30, 2016.

Pre-tax amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization totaled $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended July 30, 2016. Pre-tax amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization totaled $3.6 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, respectively. Pre-tax amortization associated with intangible assets subject to amortization at July 30, 2016 is estimated to be $2.4 million for the remainder of fiscal 2016, $4.3 million for fiscal 2017, $4.0 million for fiscal 2018, $3.8 million for fiscal 2019 and $3.7 million for fiscal 2020.
12. Derivative Financial Instruments
As discussed in Note 4, in January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a notional amount of $520.0 million that matures in August 2018 with periodic interest settlements. At July 30, 2016, the notional amount totaled $440.0 million. Under this interest rate swap agreement, we receive a floating rate based on 3-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 5.03% (including the applicable margin of 3.50%) on the outstanding notional amount. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of interest payments under the Term Loan due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. At July 30, 2016, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $2.6 million with $1.9 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.7 million in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. The effective portion of the swap is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. There was no hedge ineffectiveness at July 30, 2016. Changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings in the same period that the hedged item affects earnings.
Over the next 12 months, $1.9 million of the effective portion of the interest rate swap is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings. If, at any time, the interest rate swap is determined to be ineffective, in whole or in part, due to changes in the interest rate swap or underlying debt agreements, the fair value of the portion of the interest rate swap determined to be ineffective will be recognized as a gain or loss in the statement of earnings for the applicable period .
In addition, we are exposed to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our direct sourcing programs and our operations in foreign countries. As a result, from time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments to hedge our foreign exchange risk. We have not elected to apply hedge accounting to these
16
derivative instruments. At July 30, 2016, the fair value of our derivative instruments was an asset of $1.7 million included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet.
For the three and six months ended July 30, 2016, we recognized net pre-tax gains of $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for our derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges. For the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, we recognized a net pre-tax gain of $0.4 million and a net pre-tax loss of $0.6 million, respectively, in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for our derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges.
13. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, categorizing the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy can be described as follows: Level 1- observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3- unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
For the periods presented and described in Note 12, derivative financial instruments were the only assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These derivative financial instruments are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value based upon observable market inputs, which we classify as a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, goodwill and identifiable intangibles, are periodically evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.
During the six months ended July 30, 2016, we incurred $1.7 million of asset impairment charges, which is included within SG&A expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings, primarily related to store locations to be closed and underperforming stores. We estimated the fair value of the long-lived assets based on an income approach using projected future cash flows discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital analysis that reflects current market conditions, which we classify as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
In addition, during the second quarter ended July 30, 2016, we recorded a $2.2 million impairment charge related to a long-lived asset reclassified as held for sale, which is included within SG&A expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings. We estimated the fair value of the asset held for sale using market values for similar assets which would fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and long-term debt. Management estimates that, as of July 30, 2016, August 1, 2015, and January 30, 2016, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated their fair value due to the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments.
17
The fair values of our Term Loan were valued based upon observable market data provided by a third party for similar types of debt, which we classify as a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy. Beginning in June 2015, the fair value of our Senior Notes is based on quoted prices in active markets, which we classify as a Level 1 input within the fair value hierarchy. In prior periods, the fair value of our Senior Notes was based on trading data in active markets, which we classified as a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy. The table below shows the fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt, including current portion (in thousands):

14. Segment Reporting
In the first quarter of 2016, we revised our segment reporting presentation to reflect changes in how we manage our business, including resource allocation and performance assessment. Specifically, we are now presenting expenses related to our shared services platform separately from the results of our operating segments to promote enhanced comparability of our operating segments. Previously, these shared service expenses were primarily included in our retail segment. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect our revised segment presentation.
Our operations are conducted in two reportable segments, retail and corporate apparel, based on the way we manage, evaluate and internally report our business activities.
The retail segment includes the results from our four retail merchandising brands: Men’s Wearhouse/Men’s Wearhouse and Tux, Jos. A. Bank, Moores Clothing for Men (“Moores”) and K&G. These four brands are operating segments that have been aggregated into the retail reportable segment. MW Cleaners is also aggregated in the retail segment as these operations have not had a significant effect on our revenues or expenses. Specialty apparel merchandise offered by our four retail merchandising concepts include suits, suit separates, sport coats, slacks, business casual, sportswear, outerwear, dress and casual shirts, shoes and accessories for men. Ladies’ career apparel, sportswear and accessories, including shoes, as well as children’s apparel are also offered at most of our K&G stores. Tuxedo and suit rentals are offered at our Men’s Wearhouse/Men’s Wearhouse and Tux, Jos. A. Bank and Moores retail stores and tuxedo shops within Macy’s stores.
The corporate apparel segment includes the results from our corporate apparel and uniform operations conducted by Twin Hill in the U.S. and Dimensions, Alexandra, and Yaffy in the United Kingdom (“UK”).
The two corporate apparel and uniform concepts are operating segments that have been aggregated into the reportable corporate apparel segment. The corporate apparel segment provides corporate clothing uniforms and workwear to workforces.
We measure segment profitability based on operating income, defined as income before interest expense, interest income, loss on extinguishment of debt, net and income taxes, before shared service expenses. Shared service expenses include costs incurred and directed primarily by our corporate offices that are not allocated to segments.

15. Legal Matters
On March 29, 2016, Peter Makhlouf filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Douglas S. Ewert, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Case No. 4:16-cv-00838). The complaint attempts to allege claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's securities between June 18, 2014 and December 9, 2015. In particular, the complaint alleges that the Company and its CEO made certain statements about the Company's acquisition and subsequent integration of Jos. A. Bank that were false and misleading and omitted material facts. We believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. The range of loss, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. We do not currently believe, however, that it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On July 9, 2014, David Lucas and Eric Salerno, on behalf of themselves and all California residents similarly situated, filed a putative class action Complaint against Jos. A. Bank in the U.S. District Court for Southern California (Case No. ‘14CV1631LAB JLB). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that Jos. A. Bank violated the California Unfair Competition Law and the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act with its comparative price advertising, price discounts and free apparel promotions. The Complaint seeks, among other relief, certification of the case as a class action, permanent injunction, actual and compensatory damages, restitution including disgorgement of profits and unjust enrichment, costs and attorney fees. Mr. Salerno subsequently withdrew from the case leaving Mr. Lucas as the sole named plaintiff. In July 2016 several key events occurred. Over the course of several days, the Plaintiff’s counsel withdrew the plaintiff’s motion for class certification, filed a motion to dismiss the case, with prejudice, and filed a motion to withdraw as counsel to Mr. Lucas. The Court granted plaintiff’s counsel’s motion to withdraw. The motion to dismiss is still pending before the Court. As a result, this case will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and we will no longer be reporting on this matter in subsequent filings.
In addition, we are involved in various routine legal proceedings, including ongoing litigation, incidental to the conduct of our business. Management does not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

16. Condensed Consolidating Information
As discussed in Note 4, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. (the “Issuer”) issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. (the "Parent") and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). Our Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Guarantors”) are not guarantors of the Senior Notes. Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned and all guarantees are joint and several. In addition, the guarantees are full and unconditional except for certain automatic release provisions related to the Guarantors.
These automatic release provisions are considered customary and include the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or all of the capital stock of any subsidiary guarantor, the release or discharge of a guarantor’s guarantee of the obligations under the Term Loan other than a release or discharge through payment thereon, the designation in accordance with the Indenture of a guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary or the satisfaction of the requirements for defeasance or discharge of the Senior Notes as provided for in the Indenture.
The tables in the following pages present the condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors, together with eliminations, as of and for the periods indicated. The consolidating financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial positions, results of operations or cash flows had the Issuer, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors operated as independent entities. Certain of our current Guarantor subsidiaries did not exist and were created as part of the Reorganization. As a result, prior periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted and contain certain allocations to reflect our current organizational structure.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We encourage you to read this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) in conjunction with the corresponding section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2016. References herein to years are to our 52-week or 53-week fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday nearest January 30 in the following calendar year. For example, references to “2016” mean the 52-week fiscal year ending January 28, 2017.
Executive Overview
Background
We are the largest specialty retailer of men’s suits and the largest provider of apparel rental product in the U.S. and Canada with 1,767 stores including tuxedo shops within Macy’s stores. Our operations are conducted in two reportable segments, retail and corporate apparel, based on the way we manage, evaluate and internally report our business activities. Refer to Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion included in “Results of Operations” below for additional information and disclosures regarding our reporting segments.
We conduct our retail segment as a specialty apparel retailer offering suits, suit separates, sport coats, slacks, business casual, sportswear, outerwear, dress and casual shirts, shoes and accessories, primarily for men. We offer our products and services through multiple brands including The Men’s Wearhouse/Men’s Wearhouse and Tux (“Men’s Wearhouse”), Jos. A. Bank, Moores Clothing for Men (“Moores”), K&G and Joseph Abboud and through multiple channels including physical stores, online at www.menswearhouse.com, www.josbank.com and www.josephabboud.com, and our call center. Our stores are located throughout the United States (“U.S.”), Puerto Rico and Canada and carry a wide selection of exclusive and non-exclusive merchandise brands. Tuxedo and suit rentals are offered at our Men’s Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank and Moores retail stores and tuxedo shops within Macy’s stores. In addition, we offer our customers alteration services and most of our K&G stores offer ladies’ career apparel, sportswear, accessories and shoes and children’s apparel. We also conduct retail dry cleaning, laundry and heirlooming operations through MW Cleaners in Texas.
We operate two corporate apparel providers. Our UK-based operations, the largest provider of corporate apparel in the UK, operate under the Dimensions, Alexandra, and Yaffy brands. Our U.S.-based operation operates under the Twin Hill brand. These operations provide corporate clothing uniforms and workwear to workforces through multiple channels including managed corporate accounts, catalogs and the internet at www.dimensions.co.uk and www.alexandra.co.uk.
In the first quarter of 2016, we revised our segment reporting presentation to reflect changes in how we manage our business, including resource allocation and performance assessment. Specifically, we are now presenting expenses related to our shared services platform separately from the results of our operating segments to promote enhanced comparability of our operating segments. Previously, these shared service expenses were primarily included in our retail segment. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect our revised segment presentation.
Second Quarter Discussion
For the second quarter of 2016, comparable sales increased 2.9% at Men’s Wearhouse. In addition, Jos. A. Bank’s 16.3% comparable sales decline was consistent with the trend we saw in the first quarter and in line with our expectations. Our second quarter results showed improvement compared to the first quarter yet reflected a challenging retail apparel spending environment as well as the continued transitioning of our Jos. A. Bank business.
We continue to execute our transition plan for Tailored Brands and we are on track to achieve our targeted $50 million of cost savings for fiscal 2016. Our store base rationalization is well underway. During the second quarter, we closed 86 stores, including 45 Jos. A. Bank factory stores and eight Men’s Wearhouse outlet stores, and we remain on schedule to close approximately 250 stores during fiscal 2016.

|
· |
|
Operating income decreased to $59.6 million compared to $98.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to lease termination costs and consulting fees incurred in connection with our profit improvement and store rationalization programs, the benefits of which will be more fully realized in the second half of fiscal 2016 and subsequent years. |

Diluted earnings per share of $0.51 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.98 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. |

During the second quarter of 2016, we opened seven stores/tuxedo shops (three Men’s Wearhouse stores, two tuxedo shops within Macy’s stores, one Jos. A. Bank store and one Moores store). We closed 86 stores (59 Jos. A. Bank stores of which 45 were factory stores, 18 Men’s Wearhouse and Tux stores and nine Men’s Wearhouse stores of which eight were outlet stores).
Seasonality
Our sales and net earnings are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our rental revenues are heavily concentrated in the second and third quarters (prom and wedding season) while the fourth quarter is considered the seasonal low point. In addition, Jos. A. Bank has historically experienced increased customer traffic during the holiday season and its increased marketing efforts during the holiday season have historically resulted in sales and net earnings generated in the fourth quarter, which are significantly larger as compared to the other three quarters. This trend did not occur in the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of our decision to change the brand’s promotional strategy. We currently expect this trend to resume at some point in the future. With respect to our corporate apparel sales and operating results, seasonal fluctuations are not significant but the acquisition of new customers or existing customer decisions to rebrand or revise their corporate wear programs can cause significant variations in period results. Because of these fluctuations in our sales, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year.

A. Bank brand and a $3.5 million decrease in alteration and other services revenues, partially offset by a $8.0 million increase in rental service revenues.

Comparable sales percentages for Moores are calculated using Canadian dollars. |
Comparable sales exclude the net sales of a store for any month of one period if the store was not owned or open throughout the same month of the prior period and include e-commerce net sales. We operate our business using an omnichannel approach and do not differentiate e-commerce sales from our other channels. In addition, as a result of our decision to close all factory stores at Jos. A. Bank, we have excluded the results of these stores from our comparable sales calculation for Jos. A. Bank.
The increase at Men’s Wearhouse resulted primarily from increased average unit retails (net selling prices) partially offset by decreases in average transactions per store and units sold per transaction. The decrease at Jos. A. Bank resulted primarily from decreased average transactions per store partially offset by higher units per transaction, increased average unit retails and higher rental services revenue. The decrease at K&G resulted from lower average transactions per store partially offset by an increase in average unit retails. The decrease at Moores resulted from decreased average transactions per store and units sold per transaction partially offset by increased average unit retails. At Men’s Wearhouse, rental service comparable sales increased 4.7% due to an increase in rental rates partially offset by a decrease in unit rentals.
Total corporate apparel clothing product sales increased $18.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. U.S. corporate apparel sales increased $21.7 million primarily due to the impact of a large new uniform program. The rollout of the new uniform program commenced in June and will last approximately three months after which the program will transition to a standard replenishment phase. UK corporate apparel sales decreased $3.4 million due to the impact of a weaker pound Sterling this year compared to last year partially offset by an increase in sales from existing customer programs.
Gross Margin
Buying and distribution costs are included in determining our retail and corporate apparel clothing product gross margins. Our gross margin may not be comparable to other specialty retailers, as some companies exclude costs related to their distribution network from cost of goods sold while others, like us, include all or a portion of such costs in cost of goods sold and exclude them from SG&A expenses. Distribution costs are not included in determining our rental services gross margin but are included in SG&A expenses.
Our total gross margin decreased $8.4 million, or 2.0%, to $410.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Total retail segment gross margin decreased $18.0 million, or 4.5%, from the same prior year quarter to $382.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to lower sales. As a percentage of related sales, retail segment gross margin decreased from 46.6% in the second quarter of 2015 to 46.0% in the second quarter of 2016 primarily driven by clearance activity in preparation of our closing of the factory/outlet stores during the second quarter.
33
Occupancy costs decreased $5.6 million primarily due to our store rationalization efforts. Occupancy costs as a percentage of retail sales, which is relatively constant on a per store basis and includes store related rent, common area maintenance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, property taxes and depreciation, decreased from 13.3% to 13.1% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015.
Corporate apparel gross margin increased $9.6 million, or 51.7%, in the second quarter of 2016. For the corporate apparel segment, total gross margin as a percentage of related sales increased from 30.3% in the second quarter of 2015 to 35.4% in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to the impact of a large new uniform program as well as pre-tax gains on foreign currency hedging transactions.
Advertising Expense
Advertising expense was $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, which was flat compared to the second quarter of 2015. As a percentage of total net sales, advertising expense was 4.9% in the second quarter of 2016, which was flat compared to 2015.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses increased to $305.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $275.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $30.1 million, or 10.9%. As a percentage of total net sales, these expenses increased from 30.0% in the second quarter of 2015 to 33.6% in the second quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in restructuring and other costs.

Decrease in other SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales from 17.1% in the second quarter of 2015 to 16.7% in the second quarter of 2016. Other SG&A expenses decreased $5.7 million primarily due to cost reduction initiatives and a decrease in amortization of intangible assets as a result of the impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. |

In the retail segment, SG&A expenses as a percentage of related net sales increased from 25.4% in the second quarter of 2015 to 28.5% in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to an increase in restructuring and other costs. Retail segment SG&A expenses increased $18.1 million primarily due to lease termination costs.
In the corporate apparel segment, SG&A expenses as a percentage of related net sales decreased from 25.4% in the second quarter of 2015 to 19.8% in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to leverage from higher sales. Corporate apparel segment SG&A expenses increased $0.2 million.
Shared service expenses represent costs not specifically related to the operations of our business segments and are included in SG&A. Shared service SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net sales increased from 4.5% in the second quarter of 2015 to 5.9% in the second quarter of 2016. Shared service SG&A expenses increased $11.8 million primarily due to costs associated with our profit improvement program.
Provision for Income Tax
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 25.9% for the second quarter of 2016 from 33.3% for the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions.
34
For the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, the statutory tax rates in Canada and the UK were approximately 26% and 20%, respectively. For the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, tax expense for our operations in foreign jurisdictions totaled $5.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
Our income tax expense and effective income tax rate in future periods may be impacted by many factors, including our geographic mix of earnings and changes in tax laws. Currently, we expect our effective tax rate in future periods to be lower than the statutory U.S. combined federal and state tax rate based on the expected geographic mix of earnings. In addition, if our financial results in fiscal 2016 generate a loss or certain deferred tax liabilities decrease, we may need to establish a valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets, which could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Net Earnings
Net earnings were $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared with net earnings of $47.8 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Comparable sales exclude the net sales of a store for any month of one period if the store was not owned or open throughout the same month of the prior period and include e-commerce net sales. We operate our business using an omnichannel approach and do not differentiate e-commerce sales from our other channels. In addition, as a result of our decision to close all factory stores at Jos. A. Bank, we have excluded the results of these stores from our comparable sales calculation for Jos. A. Bank.
The decrease at Men’s Wearhouse resulted primarily from decreases in average transactions per store and units sold per transaction offset by increased average unit retails. The decrease at Jos. A. Bank resulted primarily from decreased average transactions per store partially offset by higher units per transaction, increased average unit retails and higher rental services revenue.

Provision for Income Tax
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 30.4% for the first six months of 2016 from 33.8% for the first six months of 2015 primarily due to lower U.S. income as compared to income earned in foreign jurisdictions, which is partially offset by non-recurring true-up items recorded in the first quarter of 2016.

Our income tax expense and effective income tax rate in future periods may be impacted by many factors, including our geographic mix of earnings and changes in tax laws. Currently, we expect our effective tax rate in future periods to be lower than the statutory U.S. combined federal and state tax rate based on the expected geographic mix of earnings.

Net Earnings
Net earnings were $26.6 million for the first six months of 2016 compared with net earnings of $58.1 million for the first six months of 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 30, 2016, August 1, 2015 and January 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.4 million, $73.4 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and working capital totaled $719.8 million, $799.9 million and $723.6 million, respectively. Our primary sources of working capital are cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our financing arrangements, as described below.
On June 18, 2014, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. entered into a term loan credit agreement that provides for a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion (the “Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “ABL Facility”, and together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”) with certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and Moores the Suit People Inc., one of our Canadian subsidiaries, as co-borrowers. In addition, on June 18, 2014, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”).
The Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes contain customary non-financial and financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, total leverage ratios and secured leverage ratios, as well as a restriction on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in excess of $10.0 million per quarter. Since entering into these financing arrangements and as of July 30, 2016, our total leverage ratio and secured leverage ratio were above the maximums specified in the agreements, which was anticipated when we entered into these arrangements. As a result, we are currently subject to certain additional restrictions, including limitations on our ability to make acquisitions and incur additional indebtedness.
The Term Loan is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and will mature on June 18, 2021. The interest rate on the Term Loan is based on 3-month LIBOR, which was approximately 0.76% at July 30, 2016. However, the Term Loan interest rate is subject to a LIBOR floor of 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin which is currently 3.50%, resulting in a total interest rate of 4.50%. In January 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to swap variable-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest payments on a notional amount of $520.0 million, effective in February 2015. The interest rate swap agreement matures in August 2018 and has periodic interest settlements. Under this interest rate swap agreement, we receive a floating rate based on 3-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 5.03% (including the applicable margin of 3.50%) on the outstanding notional amount.
In April 2015, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. entered into Incremental Facility Agreement No. 1 (the “Incremental Agreement”) resulting in a refinancing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Term Loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum. The Incremental Agreement did not impact the total amount borrowed under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the Term Loan of June 18, 2021, or collateral and guarantees under the existing Term Loan.
38
As a result of the interest rate swap and the Incremental Agreement, we have converted a majority of the variable interest rate under the Term Loan to a fixed rate and, as of July 30, 2016, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate of 4.91%.
The ABL Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of $500.0 million, with possible future increases to $650.0 million with an expansion feature, which matures on June 18, 2019, and is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The ABL Facility has several borrowing and interest rate options including the following indices: (i) adjusted LIBOR, (ii) Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, (iii) Canadian prime rate or (iv) alternate base rate (equal to the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or adjusted LIBOR for a one-month period plus 1.0%). Advances under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of up to 2.00%. The ABL Facility also provides for fees applicable to amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit which range from 1.50% to 2.00%, and a fee on unused commitments which ranges from 0.25% to 0.375%.
We utilize letters of credit primarily to secure inventory purchases and as collateral for workers compensation claims. Except for letters of credit totaling approximately $30.2 million issued and outstanding, no amounts were drawn on the ABL Facility as of July 30, 2016 and we have approximately $420.5 million of borrowing availability under the ABL Facility as of July 30, 2016.
The obligations under the Credit Facilities are secured on a senior basis by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the ABL Facility, Moores The Suit People Inc. The Credit Facilities and the related guarantees and security interests granted thereunder are senior secured obligations of, and will rank equally with all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company, the co-borrowers and the respective guarantors.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by Tailored Brands, Inc. and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. The Senior Notes will mature on July 1, 2022. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year.
Cash Flow Activities
Operating activities — Net cash provided by operating activities was $100.3 million and $94.9 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The $5.4 million increase was driven by changes in other assets related to income tax refunds and a decrease in inventory purchases. These favorable impacts were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable driven by the rollout of a large new uniform program and a decrease in net earnings after adjusting for non-cash items primarily due to an increase in restructuring and other costs.
Investing activities — Net cash used in investing activities was $55.3 million and $56.8 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Financing activities — Net cash used in financing activities was $63.5 million and $27.4 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The $36.1 million decrease primarily reflects the impact of a $35.5 million prepayment on our Term Loan.
Share repurchase program — The Board of Directors (the “Board”) had previously approved a $200.0 million share repurchase program for our common stock. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, no shares were repurchased in open market transactions under the Board’s March 2013 authorization. At July 30, 2016, the remaining balance available under the Board’s March 2013 authorization was $48.0 million.
Dividends — Cash dividends paid were approximately $17.7 million and $17.6 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. During each of the quarters ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015, we declared quarterly dividends of $0.18 per share.
39
Future Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary uses of cash are to finance working capital requirements of our operations and to repay our indebtedness. In addition, we will use cash to fund capital expenditures, income taxes, costs related to our store rationalization and profit improvement programs including lease termination payments, dividend payments and various other commitments and obligations, as they arise.
During the course of the year, we borrowed and repaid amounts under our ABL Facility primarily due to costs incurred under our store rationalization and profit improvement programs. During the six months ended July 30, 2016, the maximum borrowing outstanding at any point in time was $39.1 million.
Capital expenditures are anticipated to be in the range of $110.0 to $120.0 million for 2016. This amount includes the anticipated costs to open 160 shops within Macy’s stores, 15 to 20 Men’s Wearhouse stores, three Jos. A. Bank stores, two Moores stores, and one K&G store and to expand and/or relocate approximately 5 to 10 existing Men’s Wearhouse stores, four to eight existing Jos. A. Bank stores and one existing K&G store. During the first six months of 2016, we opened 147 stores/tuxedo shops (138 tuxedo shops within Macy’s stores, five Men’s Wearhouse stores, two Jos. A. Bank stores and two Moores stores). Capital expenditures for 2016 will also include integration projects for Jos. A. Bank, point-of-sale and other computer equipment and systems, store remodeling, and investment in other corporate assets. The actual amount of future capital expenditures will depend in part on the number of new stores opened and the terms on which new stores are leased and the timing of our Jos. A. Bank integration projects, as well as on industry trends consistent with our anticipated operating plans.
Current and future domestic and global economic conditions could negatively affect our future operating results as well as our existing cash and cash equivalents balances. In addition, conditions in the financial markets could limit our access to further capital resources, if needed, and could increase associated costs. We believe based on our current business plan that our existing cash and cash flows from operations and availability under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to fund our operating cash requirements, repayment of current indebtedness, costs related to our store rationalization and profit improvement plans including lease termination payments, planned store openings, relocations and remodels and other capital expenditures.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires the appropriate application of accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In many instances, this also requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts and disclosures included in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under our current business model. However, because future events and conditions and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results will differ from our estimates and such differences could be material to our financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.
We are exposed to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as a result of our direct sourcing programs and our operations in foreign countries. In connection with our direct sourcing programs, we may enter into merchandise purchase commitments that are denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the operating entity. Our risk management policy is to hedge a portion of forecasted merchandise purchases for our direct sourcing programs that bear foreign exchange risk using foreign exchange forward contracts.
As the foreign exchange forward contracts are with financial institutions, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by these parties but due to the creditworthiness of these major financial institutions, full performance is anticipated.
As discussed in Note 4 and Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have undertaken steps to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness. As of July 30, 2016, 87% of our total debt was at a fixed rate with the remainder at a variable rate. In addition, due to the existence of a LIBOR floor of 1.0% per annum on the portion of our debt subject to a variable rate, we believe our interest rate risk is substantially mitigated. At July 30, 2016, the effect of one percentage point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $2.1 million change in annual interest expense on our Term Loan.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal second quarter ended July 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
For a more detailed explanation of the factors affecting our business, please refer to the Risk Factors section in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. There has not been a material change to the risk factors set forth in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016, except for the addition of the following risk factor:
Economic conditions and regulatory changes leading up to and following the United Kingdom’s likely exit from the European Union could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
On June 23, 2016, the UK held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union (the “E.U.”), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” Negotiations are expected to commence to determine the future terms of the UK’s relationship with the E.U.
The announcement of Brexit adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a sharp decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue in the short term as the UK negotiates its exit from the European Union. A weaker British pound compared to the U.S. dollar during a reporting period causes local currency results of our UK operations to be translated into fewer U.S. dollars. For the year ended January 30, 2016, net sales of our UK operations constituted 6% of our consolidated net sales.
Future adverse consequences arising from Brexit may include economic uncertainty, continued volatility in current exchange rates and legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the UK determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. Any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TAILORED BRANDS, INC.
CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN
1.1 Adoption. Tailored Brands, Inc., a Texas corporation, hereby adopts, assumes and establishes this plan for certain key management employees to be known as the “Tailored Brands, Inc. Vice President Change in Control Severance Plan” (as it may be amended from time to time, the “ Plan ”).

No Executive shall have a vested right to the benefits under the Plan.

The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of any rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting a Termination for Good Reason hereunder.
For purposes of any determination regarding the existence of a Termination for Good Reason, any claim by the Executive that a Termination for Good Reason exists shall be presumed to be correct unless the Employer establishes to the Committee by clear and convincing evidence that a Termination for Good Reason does not exist.

The cost of such COBRA coverage will be paid by the Company for that number of days, if any, COBRA coverage must be offered following the Executive’s Termination Date equal to the positive difference, if any, of 365 minus the number of days during the Post Change in Control Period for such Executive (or such shorter period of time as is required under COBRA). The Executive will pay all premiums due for any COBRA coverage provided to the Executive and his dependents after the period described in the preceding sentence.
If the Executive is a Specified Employee and the benefits specified in this Section 4.2(c) are taxable to the Executive and not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, the following provisions shall apply to the reimbursement or provision of such benefits. Any amounts to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under this Section 4.2(c) during the first six months following the date of the Executive’s Separation From Service shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive on the date that is six months following the date of his Separation From Service. Except for any reimbursements under the applicable group health plan that are subject to a limitation on reimbursements during a
-10-
specified period, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Section 4.2(c), or in-kind benefits provided, during the Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year of the Executive.

The single sum cash payment will be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5. If a conversion option is applicable under the Company’s group life insurance program, an Executive may, at his option, convert his basic life insurance coverage to an individual policy after his Termination Date by completing the forms required by the Company.
4.3 Tax Year. If a payment under Section 4.2 or any other provision of the Plan is payable during a period that includes more than one taxable year the Executive shall have no right to specify the taxable year during which such payment shall be made .

Such payments shall be made within ten (10) business days after the delivery of the Executive’s written request for the payment accompanied by such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company may reasonably require. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Executive incurs a Separation From Service and is a Specified Employee, the Company shall not make any further payment of amounts payable by the Company to the Executive under this Section 4.4 before the date that is six months following the date of his Separation From Service. Rather, on the date that is six months following the date of the Executive’s Separation From Service the Company shall pay to the Executive all amounts payable by the Company to the Executive under this Section 4.4 for which a written request for payment was properly submitted by the Executive during the first six months following the date of the Executive’s Separation From Service or which were otherwise not paid before the Executive’s Separation From Service. In any event the Company shall pay the Executive such legal fees and expenses by the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the Executive incurred such legal fees and expenses. The legal fees or expenses that are subject to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not be limited as a result of when the fees or expenses are incurred. The amount of legal fees or expenses that is eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.4 during a given taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year of the Executive. The right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.4 is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The Executive shall repay to the Company any expenses reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.4 if a court of competent jurisdiction
-11-
shall have determined by a final, nonappealable order, that the expenses to be repaid were incurred solely by reason of the Executive not acting in good faith in incurring such expenses.
The Company shall pay the Executive any cash benefits described in paragraphs (b) and (d) of Section 4.2 in a single sum cash payment within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Separation From Service if the Executive is not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six (6) months following the Executive’s Separation From Service if the Executive is a Specified Employee.
6.1 Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control and during the Term of the Plan, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the Executive, or any determination of Disability, shall be communicated by notice to the other party that shall indicate the specific provisions of the Plan to which the Executive is to receive benefits as a result of the termination. If the notice states that the Executive’s employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability, the notice shall (a) specifically describe the basis for the determination of the Executive’s Disability, and (b) state the date of the determination of the Executive’s Disability and the date of the termination of his employment, which date shall be not more than ten (10) days before the date such notice is given. If the notice is from the Company and states that the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company as a result of the occurrence of Termination for Cause, the notice shall specifically describe the action or inaction of the Executive that the Company believes constitutes Termination for Cause and shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the resolution satisfying the requirements of Section 2.36. If the notice is from the Executive and states that the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Executive as a result of the occurrence of Termination for Good Reason, the notice shall specifically describe the action or inaction of the Company that the Executive believes constitutes Termination for Good Reason and shall be given by the Executive to the Company within ninety (90) days following the Executive’s knowledge of the initial condition which the Executive believes constitutes an Event of Termination for Good Reason. Each notice given pursuant to this Section 6.1 (other than a notice stating that the Executive’s employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability) shall state a date, which shall be not fewer than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given, on which the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company is effective and if the notice is given by the Executive with respect to Termination for Good Reason, the Company shall have the opportunity to remedy the action or inaction that constitutes the Termination for Good Reason prior to the Termination Date stated in the notice and upon the Company doing so the notice shall be deemed withdrawn. No purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company after a Change in Control and during the Term of the Plan shall be effective unless the Company complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.1.
6.2 Dispute Concerning Termination. If within fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Termination Date (as determined without regard to this Section 6.2), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Termination Date shall be extended until the
-12-
earlier of (a) the date on which the Term of the Plan ends or (b) the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that the Termination Date shall be extended by a notice of dispute given by the Executive only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
The Company may withhold from any benefits paid under the Plan all income, employment, and other taxes required to be withheld under applicable law.
If an Executive dies after his Termination Date but before the Executive receives full payment of the benefits to which he is entitled, any unpaid benefits will be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse, or if the Executive does not have a surviving spouse, to the Executive’s estate.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9, the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time. After a Change in Control occurs, the Plan may not be terminated or amended in any manner that would negatively affect an Executive’s rights under the Plan. Further, the Board of Directors may not amend or terminate the Plan in anticipation of a Change in Control in any manner that would negatively affect an Executive’s rights under the Plan. If a Change in Control occurs within 12 months after the date the Board of Directors amends or terminates the Plan then there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the amendment or termination of the Plan was made in anticipation of a Change in Control and shall not be effective in any manner that would negatively affect an Executive’s rights under the Plan unless the Company rebuts such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.
10. ADOPTION OF PLAN BY AFFILIATES
(a) With the written approval of the Committee, any entity that is an Affiliate may adopt the Plan by appropriate action of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart, as evidenced by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of such entity or an executed adoption agreement (approved by the board of directors or noncorporate counterpart of the Affiliate), agreeing to be bound by all the terms, conditions and limitations of the Plan and providing all information required by the Committee.
(b) The provisions of the Plan shall apply separately and equally to each adopting Affiliate in the same manner as is expressly provided for the Company, except that the power to appoint the Committee and the power to amend or terminate the Plan shall be exercised by the Company.
(c) For purposes of the Code and ERISA, the Plan as adopted by the Affiliates shall constitute a single plan rather than a separate plan of each Affiliate.
-13-
11. DISPUTED PAYMENTS AND FAILURES TO PAY
If the Company fails to make a payment in whole or in part as of the payment deadline specified in the Plan, either intentionally or unintentionally, other than with the express or implied consent of the Executive, the Executive shall make prompt and reasonable good faith efforts to collect the remaining portion of the payment. The Company shall pay any such unpaid benefits due to the Executive, together with interest on the unpaid benefits from the date of the payment deadline specified in the Plan at an annual rate equal to 120 percent of the applicable Federal rate provided for in section 1274(d) of the Code, within ten (10) business days of discovering that the additional monies are due and payable.

The Company shall make a payment to reimburse the Executive in an amount equal to all expenses and other amounts incurred due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability pursuant to clause (ii) of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 11, by the end of Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the taxes that are the subject of the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or where as a result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.
12.1 Forfeiture Determination. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a determination is made as provided in Section 12.2 (a “ Forfeiture Determination ”) that (a) the Executive, before or after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and all Affiliates, (i) committed fraud, embezzlement, theft, felony or an act of dishonesty (as defined below) in the course of his employment by the Company or an Affiliate, (ii) knowingly caused or assisted in causing the publicly released financial statements of the Company to be misstated or the Company or a subsidiary of the Company to engage in criminal misconduct, (iii) disclosed trade secrets of the Company or an Affiliate or (iv) violated the terms of any non-competition, non-disclosure or similar agreement with respect to the Company or any Affiliate to which the Executive is a party; and (b) in the case of the actions described in clause (i), (iii)
-14-
and (iv), such action materially and adversely affected the Company, then at or after the time such Forfeiture Determination is made the Board of Directors, in good faith, if such Forfeiture Determination is made prior to a Change in Control, or, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, if such Forfeiture Determination is made after a Change in Control, as a fair and equitable forfeiture to reflect the harm done to the Company and a reduction of the benefit bestowed on the Executive had the facts existing at the time the benefit was bestowed that led to the Forfeiture Determination been known to the Company at the time the benefit was bestowed, may determine that some or all (x) benefits payable or to be provided, or previously paid or provided, under the Plan to the Executive (including any payment previously paid to the Executive under Section 4.2 or legal expense reimbursement payment under Section 4.4), (y) cash bonuses paid on or after the Effective Date by the Company to the Executive under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company or (z) equity awards granted to the Executive under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company that vested on or after the Effective Date, will be forfeited to the Company on such terms as determined by the Board of Directors or the final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of Section 12, an “ act of dishonesty ” shall require a material breach by Executive of his duties, obligations or undertakings owed to or on behalf of the Company, as determined by the Board. In determining whether a matter materially and adversely affects the Company, the Board shall be entitled to consider all relevant factors and exercise business judgment in making such determination, including but not limited to the financial consequences, adverse reputational consequences or legal consequences to the Company and/or its subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, as a result of such action.
12.2 Decision-Making Authority. A Forfeiture Determination for purposes of Section 12.1 shall be made (a) before the occurrence of a Change in Control, by a majority vote of the Board of Directors and (b) on or after the occurrence of a Change in Control, by the final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The findings and decision of the Board of Directors with respect to a Forfeiture Determination made before the occurrence of a Change in Control, including those regarding the acts of the Executive and the damage done to the Company, will be final for all purposes absent a showing by clear and convincing evidence of manifest error by, or a lack of good faith on the part of, the Board of Directors; provided, that, any disagreements as to whether the Board lacked good faith or its decision resulted from manifest error shall be subject to resolution in accordance with Section 14.7 hereof. No decision of the Board of Directors, however, will affect the finality of the discharge of the Executive by the Company or an Affiliate.

All Executives shall be solely unsecured creditors of the Company. If the Company decides in its sole discretion to establish any advance reserve on its books against the future expense of the potential payments hereunder, or, if the Company decides in its sole discretion to fund a trust under the Plan, such reserve or trust shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be an asset of the Plan.
14.1 Plan Not an Employment Contract. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan is not a contract between the Company and its employees that gives any employee the right to be retained in its employment. Likewise, it is not intended to interfere with the rights of an Employer to terminate an employee’s employment at any time with or without notice and with or without cause or to interfere with an employee's right to terminate his employment at any time.
14.2 Alienation Prohibited. No benefits hereunder shall be subject to anticipation or assignment by an Executive, to attachment by, interference with, or control of any creditor of an Executive, or to being taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or liability of an Executive prior to its actual receipt by the Executive. Any attempted conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance of the benefits hereunder prior to payment thereof shall be void.

14.4 Headings. The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.
14.5 Severability. Each provision of the Plan may be severed. If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
14.6 Binding Effect. The Plan shall be binding upon any successor of the Company. Further, the Board of Directors shall not authorize a Change in Control that is a merger or a sale transaction unless the purchaser or the Company’s successor agrees to take such actions as are necessary to cause all Executives to be paid or provided all benefits due under the terms of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.
14.7 Claims Procedure. All claims by an Executive for benefits under the Plan shall be directed to and determined by the Committee and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Committee of a claim for benefits under the Plan shall be delivered to the Executive in writing

(b) A determination of an appealed claim shall be delivered to Executive within ninety (90) days of after written notification of the appeal is received by the Committee in accordance with Section 14.10 and shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reason or reasons therefor, the specific provisions of the Plan relied upon, a statement that the Executive is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to (and copies of) all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim and a statement of the Executive’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
14.8 No Mitigation. The Company agrees that if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Term of the Plan, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to the Plan. Further, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in the Plan shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.
14.9 Other Amounts Due. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan are in addition to and not in lieu of amounts and benefits that are earned by an Executive prior to his Termination Date. The Company shall pay an Executive any compensation earned through the Termination Date but not previously paid to the Executive. Further the Executive shall be entitled to any other amounts or benefits due the Executive in accordance with any contract, plan, program or policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

14.11 Governing Law. To the extent legally required, the Code and ERISA shall govern the Plan and, if any provision hereof is in violation of any applicable requirement thereof, the Company reserves the right to retroactively amend the Plan to comply therewith. To the extent not governed by the Code and ERISA, the provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to rules relating to conflicts of law.
14.12 Compliance With Section 409A. The Company intends that any amounts or benefits payable or provided under the Plan shall comply with Section 409A so as not to subject Executive to the payment of the tax, interest and any tax penalty which may be imposed under Section 409A. The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner that complies with Section 409A. The Company will not take any action or omit to take any action that would expose any payment or benefit to Executive to additional tax under Section 409A. In furtherance thereof, to the extent that any provision hereof would otherwise result in Executive being subject to payment of tax, interest and tax penalty under Section 409A, the Company agrees to amend the Plan in a manner that brings the Plan into compliance with Section 409A and preserves to the maximum extent possible economic value to the relevant payment or benefit under the Plan to Executive. Each payment in a series of payments or installments hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent that a reimbursement amount is subject to Section 409A, the Company will pay Executive the reimbursement amount due, if any, in any event before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. Executive’s rights to any reimbursements are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The amount of expense reimbursements for which Executive is eligible during any taxable year will not affect the amount of any expense reimbursements for which Executive is eligible in any other taxable year. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the Termination Date occur until Executive experiences a Separation from Service and the date upon which Separation from Service takes place shall be the “ Termination Date ” and (ii) in the event Executive is a Specified employee as of the date of his separation from service, amounts and benefits that are properly treatable as deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A, and after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment under Section 409A) that would otherwise be payable or provided hereunder shall not be made prior to the first business day after the earlier of (x) the expiration of six months from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service for any reason other than death or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such first business day, the “ Delayed Payment Date ”). On the Delayed Payment Date, the Company shall pay to Executive or, if has died, to his estate, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence with interest for the period commencing on the date of the Executive’s Termination Date until the date of payment of such amounts, calculated using an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “ Interest Amount ”).

2.37 “ Voting Securities ” means the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or other governing body.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may discontinue an individual’s participation in the Plan at any time by providing him written notice (the “ Notice ”) that he shall no longer participate in the Plan, provided, however, that a Change in Control has not occurred and the discontinuation of the individual’s participation in the Plan is not taken in anticipation of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs within 12 months after the date the Notice is provided then there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the discontinuation of the individual’s participation in the Plan was taken in anticipation of a Change in Control unless the Company rebuts such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.
Participation in the Plan shall supercede and be in lieu of any and all agreements and rights that the Executive has under any prior change in control agreements between the Executive and the Company or The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. and/or Executive’s participation in The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan or the Tailored Brands, Inc. Vice President Change in Control Severance Plan.

If an Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company as a result of the occurrence of an event of Termination for Cause or by an Executive before the occurrence of an event of Termination for Good Reason, then the Company will pay the Executive (A) the Accrued Obligations within 30 days after the Termination Date and (B) any other amounts or benefits provided under any plan, policy, practice, program, contract or arrangement of or provided by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this Plan).
(b) Termination as a Result of Executive’s Death . If an Executive’s employment is automatically terminated as a result of the Executive’s death, then the Company will pay to the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, (A) the Accrued Obligations within 30 days after the date of the Executive’s death and (B) any other amounts or benefits provided under any plan, policy, practice, program, contract or arrangement of or provided by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this Plan).
(c) Termination as a Result of Executive’s Disability . If an Executive’s employment is automatically terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability, then the Company will pay to the Executive, as applicable, (A) the Accrued Obligations within 30 days after the Termination Date and (B) any other amounts or benefits provided under any plan, policy, practice, program, contract or arrangement of or provided by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this Plan).
(d) Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason . If an Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than as a result of the occurrence of an event of Termination for Cause or by an Executive after the occurrence of an event of Termination for Good Reason, then the Executive is entitled to the following:
- 9 -
(1) the Company will pay to the Executive the Accrued Obligations within 30 days after the Termination Date;
(2) the Company will pay to the Executive an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (A) the amount (including any deferred portion thereof) of the Base Salary for the Fiscal Year in which the Termination Date occurs or for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, whichever is higher; and (B) an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Executive’s target bonus for the Fiscal Year in which the Termination Date occurs and (b) the Executive’s target bonus for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Termination Date occurs; provided, that (x) if the Change in Control giving rise to the payments in this Section 4.2(d)(2) constitutes a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A, the Company shall pay to the Executive these amounts within 30 days after the Termination Date or (y) if such Change in Control does not constitute a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A, the Company shall pay the amounts specified in this Section 4.2(d)(2) in equal installments over 24 months following the Termination Date in accordance with the customary payroll practices of the Company as if Executive was employed at the time, commencing on the first Company payroll date immediately following the 38th day after the Termination Date (the “ First Payment Date ”), and any installment that would have otherwise been paid pursuant to the customary payroll practices of the Company prior to the First Payment Date shall instead be accumulated and paid on the First Payment Date;
(3) The Company shall pay to the Executive, within 30 days after the Termination Date, an amount equal to the product of (A) the total monthly basic life insurance premium (both the portion paid by the Company and the portion paid by the Executive) applicable to the Executive’s basic life insurance coverage on his Termination Date and (B) 24; provided, that, if a conversion option is applicable under the Company’s group life insurance program, the Executive may, at his option, convert his basic life insurance coverage to an individual policy after his Termination Date by completing the forms required by the Company;
(4) the Company (at its sole expense) shall take the following actions:
(A) throughout the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the first to occur of the second anniversary of the Termination Date, or the date on which the Executive becomes employed on a full-time basis by another person (the “ Coverage Period ”) , the Company shall maintain in effect, and not materially reduce the benefits provided by the Company’s group health plan in which the Executive was a participant immediately before the Termination Date; and
(B) the Company shall arrange for the Executive’s uninterrupted participation throughout the Coverage Period in the Company’s
- 10 -
group health plan in which the Executive was a participant immediately before the Termination Date;
provided that if the Executive’s participation after the Termination Date in such group health plan is not permitted by the terms of that plan, then throughout the Coverage Period, the Company (at its sole expense) shall provide the Executive with substantially the same benefits that were provided to the Executive by that plan immediately before the Termination Date. If the Executive is a Specified Employee and the benefits specified in this Section 4.2(d)(4) are taxable to the Executive and not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, the following provisions shall apply to the reimbursement or provision of such benefits. Any amounts to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under this Section 4.2(d)(4) during the first six months following the date of the Executive’s Termination Date shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive on the date that is six months following the Termination Date. The Executive shall be eligible for reimbursement for covered welfare expenses, or for the provision of such benefits on an in-kind basis, during the Coverage Period. The amount of such welfare benefit expenses eligible for reimbursement or the in-kind benefits provided under this Section 4.2(d)(4), during the Executive’s taxable year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year (with the exception of applicable lifetime maximums applicable to medical expenses or medical benefits described in section 105(b) of the Code). The Company shall reimburse an eligible welfare benefit expense that is not a nontaxable insured benefit on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The Executive’s right to reimbursement or direct provision of benefits under this Section 4.2(d)(4) is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and
(5) the Executive shall be entitled to any other amounts or benefits provided under any plan, policy, practice, program, contract or arrangement of or provided by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Benefit Plans, which shall be governed by the terms thereof (except as explicitly modified by this Plan).
(6) Each payment required to be made to Executive pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be made by check drawn on an account of the Company or the Successor at a bank located in the United States of America.
4.3 Limitation on Benefits Payable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company’s then current independent registered public accounting firm (the “ Accounting Firm ”) shall determine that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the Executive’s benefit made by the Company, by any of its affiliates, by any person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) or by any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of the Plan or otherwise (collectively, the “ Total Payments ”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of Code or any interest or penalties
- 11 -
with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are collectively referred to as the “ Excise Tax ”), then the Accounting Firm shall determine whether such payments or distributions or benefits shall be reduced to such lesser amount as would result in no portion of such payments or distributions or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax. Such reduction shall occur if and only to the extent that it would result in the Executive retaining, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes, employment, social security and Medicare taxes, the imposition of the Excise Tax and all other taxes, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the Total Payments is expected to be made) a larger amount as a result of such reduction than the Executive would receive, on a similar after tax basis, if the Executive received all of the Total Payments. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive would not retain a larger amount on an after-tax basis if the Total Payments were so reduced, then the Executive shall retain all of the Total Payments. If the Total Payments are to be reduced, the reduction shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments for which the full amount is treated as a “parachute payment” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder); (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting (or, if necessary, payment) of cash awards for which the full amount is not treated as a parachute payment; (3) reduction of any continued employee benefits; and (4) cancellation or reduction of any accelerated vesting of equity awards. In selecting the equity awards (if any) for which vesting will be cancelled or reduced under clause (4) of the preceding sentence, awards shall be selected in a manner that maximizes the after-tax aggregate amount of reduced Total Payments provided to the Executive, provided that if (and only if) necessary in order to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A, awards instead shall be selected in the reverse order of the date of grant. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. The Executive and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Accounting Firm to perform the requisite Section 280G of the Code computations and analysis, and the Accounting Firm shall provide a written report of its determinations, hereunder, including detailed supporting calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Total Payments should be reduced as described above, it shall promptly notify the Executive and the Company to that effect. In the absence of manifest error, all determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 6(i) shall be binding on the Executive and the Company and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the later of the Executive’s date of termination of employment or the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall bear all costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm.
To the extent requested by the Executive, the Company shall cooperate with the Executive in good faith in valuing, and the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of, services to be provided by the Executive (including the Executive agreeing to refrain from performing services pursuant to a covenant not to compete) before, on or after the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code such that payments in respect of such services may be considered to be “reasonable compensation” within the meaning of Q&A-9 and Q&A-40 to Q&A-44 of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code
- 12 -
and/or exempt from the definition of the term “parachute payment” within the meaning of Q&A-2(a) of such final regulations in accordance with Q&A-5(a) of such final regulations.
If it is ultimately determined (by IRS private letter ruling or closing agreement, court decision or otherwise) that the Executive’s Total Payments were reduced by too much or by too little in order to accomplish the purpose of this Section 4.3, the Executive and the Company shall promptly cooperate to correct such underpayment or overpayment in a manner consistent with the purpose of this Section 4.3.
4.4 Tax Year. If a payment under Section 4.2 or any other provision of the Plan is payable during a period that includes more than one taxable year the Executive shall have no right to specify the taxable year during which such payment shall be made.
4.5 Other Employment Arrangements. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, if following the commencement of any discussion with a third person (but excluding any discussions with an investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor engaged by the Company) that ultimately results in a Change in Control, (i) the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, (ii) the Executive’s duties are materially changed or the Executive’s status and position with the Company is materially diminished, (iii) the Executive’s Base Salary is reduced, or (iv) the Executive’s annual bonus potential is reduced to an amount less than the Benchmark Bonus, then for all purposes of the Plan, such Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the date immediately prior to the date of such termination, change, diminution, or reduction, and (x) any payments and benefits payable under any employment agreement between the Company and the Executive shall be paid in accordance with the terms thereof and (y) the Executive shall be entitled to receive any additional payments and benefits provided for herein or otherwise hereunder, in the manner set forth in the Plan. In the event Executive is a Specified Employee on his Termination Date, for purposes of this Section 4.5, his right to payment and form of payment under his employment agreement will be considered fixed on his Termination Date and payable under his employment agreement, even if such payments have not actually commenced as of the Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made or benefit provided or to be provided under any employment agreement between the Company and the Executive that is duplicative of any payment made or to be made, or benefit provided or to be provided, under the Plan, shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the payment to be made or benefit to be provided under the Plan; provided, however, that in the event that the payment shall be delayed pursuant to Section 409A as further described in Section 4.2(d)(2), then any payment made or benefit provided or to be provided under the Plan that is duplicative of any payment made or to be made, or benefit provided or to be provided, under any employment agreement between the Company and the Executive, shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the payment to be made or benefit to be provided under such employment agreement.
4.6 Legal Fees . If a Change in Control shall have occurred before the expiration of the Term of the Plan, then, upon demand by the Executive made to the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in enforcing or seeking to enforce, in good faith, the payment of any amount or other benefit to which the Executive shall have become entitled pursuant to the Plan. Such payments under this Section 4.6 shall be made within ten (10)
- 13 -
business days after the delivery of the Executive’s written request for the payment accompanied by such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company may reasonably require. The fees or expenses that are subject to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not be limited as a result of when the fees or expenses are incurred. The amounts of fees and expenses that are eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.6 during a given taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the amount of fees and expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year of the Executive. The right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.6 is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The Executive shall repay to the Company any expenses reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.6 if a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, non-appealable order, that the expenses to be repaid were incurred solely by reason of the Executive not acting in good faith in incurring such expenses.
5.1 Notice of Termination. After a Change in Control and during the Term of the Plan, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the Executive, or any determination of Disability, shall be communicated by notice to the other party that shall indicate the specific paragraph of Section 4.2 pursuant to which the Executive is to receive benefits as a result of the termination. If the notice states that the Executive’s employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability, the notice shall (a) specifically describe the basis for the determination of the Executive’s Disability, and (b) state the date of the determination of the Executive’s Disability and the date of the termination of his employment, which date shall be not more than ten (10) days before the date such notice is given. If the notice is from the Company and states that the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company as a result of the occurrence of Termination for Cause, the notice shall specifically describe the action or inaction of the Executive that the Company believes constitutes Termination for Cause and shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the resolution satisfying the requirements of Section 2.34. If the notice is from the Executive and states that the Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Executive as a result of the occurrence of Termination for Good Reason, the notice shall specifically describe the action or inaction of the Company that the Executive believes constitutes Termination for Good Reason and shall be given by the Executive to the Company within ninety (90) days following the Executive’s knowledge of the initial condition which the Executive believes constitutes an Event of Termination for Good Reason. Each notice given pursuant to this Section 5.1 (other than a notice stating that the Executive’s employment by the Company has been automatically terminated as a result of the Executive’s Disability) shall state a date, which shall be not fewer than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given, on which the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company is effective and if the notice is given by the Executive with respect to Termination for Good Reason, the Company shall have the opportunity to remedy the action or inaction that constitutes the Termination for Good Reason prior to the Termination Date stated in the notice and upon the Company doing so the notice shall be deemed withdrawn. No purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company after a Change in Control and during the Term of the Plan shall be effective unless the Company complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1.
- 14 -
5.2 Dispute Concerning Termination. If within fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Termination Date (as determined without regard to this Section 5.2), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Termination Date shall be extended until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Term of the Plan ends or (b) the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that the Termination Date shall be extended by a notice of dispute given by the Executive only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.
The Company may withhold from any benefits paid under the Plan all income, employment, and other taxes required to be withheld under applicable law.
If an Executive dies after his Termination Date but before the Executive receives full payment of the benefits to which he is entitled, any unpaid benefits will be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse, or if the Executive does not have a surviving spouse, to the Executive’s estate.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8, the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time. After a Change in Control occurs, the Plan may not be terminated or amended in any manner that would negatively affect an Executive’s rights under the Plan. Further, the Board of Directors may not amend or terminate the Plan in anticipation of a Change in Control in any manner that would negatively affect an Executive’s rights under the Plan. If a Change in Control occurs within 12 months after the date the Board of Directors amends or terminates the Plan then there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the amendment or termination of the Plan was made in anticipation of a Change in Control and shall not be effective in any manner that would negatively affect an Executive’s rights under the Plan unless the Company rebuts such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.
9. ADOPTION OF PLAN BY AFFILIATES
(a) With the written approval of the Committee, any entity that is an Affiliate may adopt the Plan by appropriate action of its board of directors or noncorporate counterpart, as evidenced by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of such entity or an executed adoption agreement (approved by the board of directors or noncorporate counterpart of the Affiliate), agreeing to be bound by all the terms, conditions and limitations of the Plan and providing all information required by the Committee.
- 15 -
(b) The provisions of the Plan shall apply separately and equally to each adopting Affiliate in the same manner as is expressly provided for the Company, except that the power to appoint the Committee and the power to amend or terminate the Plan shall be exercised by the Company.
(c) For purposes of the Code and ERISA, the Plan as adopted by the Affiliates shall constitute a single plan rather than a separate plan of each Affiliate.
10. DISPUTED PAYMENTS AND FAILURES TO PAY
If the Company fails to make a payment in whole or in part as of the payment deadline specified in the Plan, either intentionally or unintentionally, other than with the express or implied consent of the Executive, the Executive shall make prompt and reasonable good faith efforts to collect the remaining portion of the payment. The Company shall pay any such unpaid benefits due to the Executive, together with interest on the unpaid benefits from the date of the payment deadline specified in the Plan at an annual rate equal to 120 percent of the applicable Federal rate provided for in section 1274(d) of the Code, within ten (10) business days of discovering that the additional monies are due and payable.
The Company shall hold harmless and indemnify the Executive on a fully grossed-up after tax basis from and against (i) any and all taxes imposed under Section 409A (and any comparable state statutes) by any taxing authority as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with this Section 10 and all penalties and interest with respect to the Company’s failure to comply with this Section 10, and (ii) all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability described in clause (i); and (iii) the amount of additional taxes (including penalties and interest) imposed upon the Executive due to the Company’s payment of the initial taxes penalties, interest and expenses described in clauses (i) and (ii).
The Company shall make a payment to reimburse the Executive in an amount equal to all federal, state and local taxes imposed upon the Eligible Individual that are described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 10, including the amount of additional taxes imposed upon the Executive due to the Company’s payment of the initial taxes on such amounts, by the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive remits the related taxes to the taxing authority. The Company shall make a payment to reimburse the Executive in an amount equal to all expenses and other amounts incurred due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of a tax liability pursuant to clause (ii) of the foregoing paragraph of this Section 10, by the end of Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the taxes that are the subject of the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or where as a result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the Executive’s taxable year following the Executive’s taxable year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.
- 16 -
11. Forfeiture for Cause
11.1 Forfeiture Determination. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a determination is made as provided in Section 11.2 (a “ Forfeiture Determination ”) that (a) the Executive, before or after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and all Affiliates, (i) committed fraud, embezzlement, theft, felony or an act of dishonesty (as defined below) in the course of his employment by the Company or an Affiliate, (ii) knowingly caused or assisted in causing the publicly released financial statements of the Company to be misstated or the Company or a subsidiary of the Company to engage in criminal misconduct, (iii) disclosed trade secrets of the Company or an Affiliate or (iv) violated the terms of any non-competition, non-disclosure or similar agreement with respect to the Company or any Affiliate to which the Executive is a party; and (b) in the case of the actions described in clause (i), (iii) and (iv), such action materially and adversely affected the Company, then at or after the time such Forfeiture Determination is made the Board of Directors, in good faith, if such Forfeiture Determination is made prior to a Change in Control, or, as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, if such Forfeiture Determination is made after a Change in Control, as a fair and equitable forfeiture to reflect the harm done to the Company and a reduction of the benefit bestowed on the Executive had the facts existing at the time the benefit was bestowed that led to the Forfeiture Determination been known to the Company at the time the benefit was bestowed, may determine that some or all (x) benefits payable or to be provided, or previously paid or provided, under the Plan to the Executive (including any payment previously paid to the Executive under Section 4.2 or legal expense reimbursement payment under Section 4.6), (y) cash bonuses paid on or after the Effective Date by the Company to the Executive under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company or (z) equity awards granted to the Executive under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company that vested on or after the Effective Date, will be forfeited to the Company on such terms as determined by the Board of Directors or the final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of Section 11, an “ act of dishonesty ” shall require a material breach by Executive of his duties, obligations or undertakings owed to or on behalf of the Company, as determined by the Board. In determining whether a matter materially and adversely affects the Company, the Board shall be entitled to consider all relevant factors and exercise business judgment in making such determination, including but not limited to the financial consequences, adverse reputational consequences or legal consequences to the Company and/or its subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, as a result of such action.
11.2 Decision-Making Authority. A Forfeiture Determination for purposes of Section 11.1 shall be made (a) before the occurrence of a Change in Control, by a majority vote of the Board of Directors and (b) on or after the occurrence of a Change in Control, by the final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The findings and decision of the Board of Directors with respect to a Forfeiture Determination made before the occurrence of a Change in Control, including those regarding the acts of the Executive and the damage done to the Company, will be final for all purposes absent a showing by clear and convincing evidence of manifest error by, or a lack of good faith on the part of, the Board of Directors; provided, that, any disagreements as to whether the Board lacked good faith or its decision resulted from manifest error shall be subject to resolution in accordance with Section 13.7 hereof. No
- 17 -
decision of the Board of Directors, however, will affect the finality of the discharge of the Executive by the Company or an Affiliate.
12. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
12.1 Plan Administrator. The general administration of the Plan on behalf of the Company (as plan administrator under Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA) shall be placed with the Committee. The Committee shall have the full discretionary power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the Plan, to make eligibility determinations, to correct deficiencies in the Plan and to supply omissions. All decisions, actions and interpretations of the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties.
12.2 Accounts and Records. The Committee shall maintain such accounts and records regarding the fiscal and other transactions of the Plan and such other data as may be required to carry out its function under the Plan and to comply with applicable laws. The Plan Administrator shall prepare and file as required by law or regulation all reports, forms, documents, and other items required by ERISA, the Code and other relevant statutes, each as amended from time to time, and all regulations thereunder.
12.3 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan shall be “unfunded” for the purposes of ERISA and the Code and the benefits and payments to be paid under the plan shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company as and when payable under the Plan. All Executives shall be solely unsecured creditors of the Company. If the Company decides in its sole discretion to establish any advance reserve on its books against the future expense of the potential payments hereunder, or, if the Company decides in its sole discretion to fund a trust under the Plan, such reserve or trust shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be an asset of the Plan.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Plan Not an Employment Contract. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan is not a contract between the Company and its employees that gives any employee the right to be retained in its employment. Likewise, it is not intended to interfere with the rights of an Employer to terminate an employee’s employment at any time with or without notice and with or without cause or to interfere with an employee's right to terminate his employment at any time.
13.2 Alienation Prohibited. No benefits hereunder shall be subject to anticipation or assignment by an Executive, to attachment by, interference with, or control of any creditor of an Executive, or to being taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or liability of an Executive prior to its actual receipt by the Executive. Any attempted conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance of the benefits hereunder prior to payment thereof shall be void.
13.3 Number and Gender. As used in the Plan, unless the context otherwise expressly requires to the contrary, references to the singular include the plural, and vice versa; references to the masculine include the feminine and neuter; references to “including” mean “including (without limitation)”; and references to Sections and clauses mean the sections and clauses of the Plan.
- 18 -
13.4 Headings. The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience, and if there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.
13.5 Severability. Each provision of the Plan may be severed. If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
13.6 Binding Effect. The Plan shall be binding upon any successor of the Company. Further, the Board of Directors shall not authorize a Change in Control that is a merger or a sale transaction unless the purchaser or the Company’s successor agrees to take such actions as are necessary to cause all Executives to be paid or provided all benefits due under the terms of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.
13.7 Claims Procedure. All claims by an Executive for benefits under the Plan shall be directed to and determined by the Committee and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Committee of a claim for benefits under the Plan shall be delivered to the Executive in writing within thirty (30) days after written notice of the claim is provided to the Company in accordance with Section 13.10 and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial, the specific provisions of the Plan relied upon, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Executive to perfect the claim (explaining why such material or information is needed) and shall advise the Executive of the right to appeal the decision and the procedure for doing so. The Committee shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Committee a decision of the Committee after notification by the Committee that the Executive’s claim has been denied. All appeals shall be made by the following procedure:
(a) Executive shall file with the Committee a notice appealing the denial. Such notice shall be filed within sixty (60) days of notification by the Committee of the claim denial, shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the appeal is based. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.
(b) A determination of an appealed claim shall be delivered to Executive within ninety (90) days of after written notification of the appeal is received by the Committee in accordance with Section 13.10 and shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reason or reasons therefor, the specific provisions of the Plan relied upon, a statement that the Executive is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to (and copies of) all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim and a statement of the Executive’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
13.8 No Mitigation. The Company agrees that if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Term of the Plan, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to the Plan. Further, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in the Plan shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by
- 19 -
retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.
13.9 Other Amounts Due. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the payments and benefits provided for in the Plan are in addition to and not in lieu of amounts and benefits that are earned by an Executive prior to his Termination Date. The Company shall pay an Executive any compensation earned through the Termination Date but not previously paid to the Executive. Further the Executive shall be entitled to any other amounts or benefits due the Executive in accordance with any contract, plan, program or policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Amounts that the Executive is entitled to receive under any plan, program, contract or policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates at or subsequent to the Executive’s Termination Date shall be payable or otherwise provided in accordance with such plan, program, contract or policy, except as expressly modified herein.
13.10 Notices. For the purpose of the Plan, notices and all other communications provided for in the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Executive, to the residential address listed on the Executive’s notification of participation and, if to the Company, to 6100 Stevenson Blvd, Fremont, California 94538, directed to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt.
13.11 Governing Law. To the extent legally required, the Code and ERISA shall govern the Plan and, if any provision hereof is in violation of any applicable requirement thereof, the Company reserves the right to retroactively amend the Plan to comply therewith. To the extent not governed by the Code and ERISA, the provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to rules relating to conflicts of law.
13.12 Compliance With Section 409A. The Company intends that any amounts or benefits payable or provided under the Plan shall comply with Section 409A so as not to subject Executive to the payment of the tax, interest and any tax penalty which may be imposed under Section 409A. The provisions of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner that complies with Section 409A. The Company will not take any action or omit to take any action that would expose any payment or benefit to Executive to additional tax under Section 409A. In furtherance thereof, to the extent that any provision hereof would otherwise result in Executive being subject to payment of tax, interest and tax penalty under Section 409A, the Company agrees to amend the Plan in a manner that brings the Plan into compliance with Section 409A and preserves to the maximum extent possible economic value to the relevant payment or benefit under the Plan to Executive. Each payment in a series of payments or installments hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent that a reimbursement amount is subject to Section 409A, the Company will pay Executive the reimbursement amount due, if any, in any event before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. Executive’s rights to any reimbursements are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The amount of expense reimbursements for which Executive is eligible during any taxable year will
- 20 -
not affect the amount of any expense reimbursements for which Executive is eligible in any other taxable year. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the Termination Date occur until Executive experiences a Separation from Service and the date upon which Separation from Service takes place shall be the “ Termination Date ” and (ii) in the event Executive is a Specified employee as of the date of his separation from service, amounts and benefits that are properly treatable as deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A, and after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment under Section 409A) that would otherwise be payable or provided hereunder shall not be made prior to the first business day after the earlier of (x) the expiration of six months from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service for any reason other than death or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such first business day, the “ Delayed Payment Date ”). On the Delayed Payment Date, the Company shall pay to Executive or, if has died, to his estate, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence with interest for the period commencing on the date of the Executive’s Termination Date until the date of payment of such amounts, calculated using an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “ Interest Amount ”).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the Company has caused the Plan to be executed by its duly authorized officer effective as of September 8, 2016.
