Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On November 6, 2006, Iconix Brand Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), completed its acquisition of certain of the assets (the “OP Assets”) of Ocean Pacific Apparel Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) and subsidiary of The Warnaco Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2006, among the Registrant, the Seller and the Parent (the “Purchase Agreement”). The aggregate purchase price paid was $54,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). A copy of the Purchase Agreement was previously filed as an exhibit to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2006 (the “Initial Form 8-K”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Registrant paid the Seller $10,000,000 in cash at the closing and issued to the Seller a promissory note (in the form of Exhibit A attached to the Purchase Agreement), secured by the OP Assets (the “Note”), for the remaining $44,000,000 of the Purchase Price. The Note bears interest at a rate of 7% and becomes payable in full, together with accrued interest, by the Registrant on December 31, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to certain extension provisions set forth in the Note. On or prior to the Maturity Date, the Registrant may elect, subject to the terms and conditions of the Note, to pay up to $27,000,000 of the principal of the Note through the issuance of shares of its common stock, as more fully set forth in the Note (the “Shares”). If the Registrant pays the Seller an amount due under the Note greater than or equal to $25,000,000 in cash by the Maturity Date, then the Registrant may elect to extend the Maturity Date of the Note until January 31, 2007 (the “Extended Maturity Date”), at which time the Registrant must pay the Seller not less than $5,500,000 of the outstanding amount of the Note in cash at the Extended Maturity Date. If the Registrant elects to pay a portion of the principal amount of the Note through the issuance of Shares, the Registrant shall file a registration statement on Form S-3, if eligible, or other appropriate form with respect to the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of a registration rights agreement (in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached to the Note) (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  If Shares (the number of which is not yet determinable and would be based on a future price of the Registrant’s common stock) are issued to the Seller under the Note, the Shares would be issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for issuances that do not involve a public offering.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, following the closing, the Registrant contributed the OP Assets to OP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“OP Holdings”), pursuant to a contribution agreement. The Seller delivered all of its right, title and interest in the OP Assets to OP Holdings and OP Holdings entered into a product license agreement with the Parent.
 
The description of the Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Ocean Pacific Transaction Documents”) do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Ocean Pacific Transaction Documents, which are filed as exhibits to the Initial Form 8-K. The Ocean Pacific Transaction Documents have been incorporated herein to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Registrant or the other parties thereto. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties the parties thereto made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other parties thereto. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were only made as of the date of such agreement. In addition, the Purchase Agreement is modified by the underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of such agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Registrant’s public disclosures.
