Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 26, 2007, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Retail Brand Alliance, Inc. covering the design, manufacture and supply of personal care products for men and women to be sold at Brooks Brothers locations in the United States as well as a licensing agreement covering Brooks Brothers stores and specialty and department stores outside the United States and duty free and other travel-related retailers. In addition to new product development, Inter Parfums will assume responsibility for the production and supply of existing Brooks Brothers fragrance and related personal care products.
In the United States, Inter Parfums will be responsible for product development, formula creation, packaging design and manufacturing while Brooks Brothers will be responsible for marketing, advertising and in-store sales. The first new products to be developed by Inter Parfums are tentatively scheduled for launch in November 2008 at Brooks Brothers retail stores in the United States. International distribution is expected to begin in 2009.
Pursuant to the agreement, Inter Parfums will pay royalties on all sales to non U.S. Brooks Brothers stores and has agreed to certain advertising and marketing requirements as are customary in the industry.
The initial term of the agreement expires on December 31, 2013. Inter Parfums has the right to extend the term of the agreement for five (5) years, until December 31, 2018, subject to certain minimum sales and other requirements. Further, if the agreement has been extended, then both parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith the terms of a second five (5) year optional extension term not less than six (6) months prior to December 31, 2018.
