(f) Each natural person identified in Item 2 is a citizen of the United States. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. All purchases of Common Stock by the Reporting Entities were made in open market transactions described in the attached Schedule II. All such purchases of Common Stock were funded by working capital, which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business. The amount of the funds expended for such purchases was $4,906,534.26 by Barington Companies Equity Partners, L.P., $670,012.68 by Barington Companies Offshore Fund Ltd. (BVI), $1,525,369.40 by Parche, LLC, $8,056,102.87 by Starboard Value & Opportunity Fund, LLC and $165,861.22 by RJG Capital Partners, LP. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Each of the Reporting Entities acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates in order to obtain a significant equity position in the Company, the Common Stock of which, in the opinion of the Reporting Entities, is undervalued. The Reporting Entities intend to seek to meet with the Company's management and Board of Directors to discuss measures to maximize stockholder value, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) Initiating the payment of an annual dividend. Given the Company's demonstrated ability to generate cash from operations, the Reporting Entities believe that the Company could easily enact an annual dividend without limiting the ability of the Company to finance its plans for retail expansion. Many other companies in the footwear industry pay an annual dividend, including Nike, Reebok, K-Swiss, Saucony, Wolverine, Stride Rite, Weyco, Brown Shoe and Kenneth Cole. At the current stock price of roughly $17.50 per share, a dividend of 2.0% would translate into annual payments of approximately $4.7 million, less than 25% of the Company's net income in fiscal year 2003. (b) Utilizing a portion of the Company's $67.3 million in cash and marketable securities (as reported in the Company's press release dated July 27, 2004) to finance the repurchase of Common Stock under the Company's existing stock repurchase program. While the Company announced in its July 22, 2004 press release that it had repurchased 85,200 shares of Common Stock during the second quarter of 2004, this represented, to our knowledge, the only share repurchase between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2004. The Reporting Entities believe that it would be a productive use of the Company's capital to repurchase the Company's Common Stock more aggressively at current trading levels. (c) Moderating the issuance of stock options. As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had 2,274,475 options outstanding as of March 4, 2004, or approximately 17% of the 13,323,905 total shares outstanding as of March 9, 2004, as reported in the same Company filing. The Reporting Entities believe that this percentage is materially higher than that found at many other footwear companies and are concerned by the fact that the Company's diluted weighted average common shares outstanding has increased approximately 9% from fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2003. (d) Taking action to improve the merchandising strategy of the Company, particularly with regard to weakness at Madden Women's, l.e.i., Madden Men's and Stevies. (e) Addressing escalating operating expenses, which have increased as a percentage of sales (relative to the quarter for the prior year) in each of the last three quarters. (f) Concurrent with the above measures, exploring strategic discussions with potential acquirers in order to determine whether the acquisition value of the Company materially exceeds the current trading value. The Reporting Entities consider their equity position to be for investment purposes. The Reporting Entities may consider seeking to obtain representation on the Company's Board of Directors in the future. Each of the Reporting Entities may acquire additional shares or other securities of the Company or sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares or other securities of the Company beneficially owned by it. The Reporting Entities may also take any other action with respect to the Company or any of its debt or equity securities in any manner permitted by law. Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Entities have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) As of the date hereof, Barington Companies Equity Partners, L.P. beneficially owns an aggregate of 256,796 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 1.93% of the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding based upon based upon the 13,333,905 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company to be issued and outstanding as of May 3, 2004 in its Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2004 (the "Issued and Outstanding Shares"). As of the date hereof, Barington Companies Offshore Fund, Ltd. (BVI) beneficially owns an aggregate of 34,964 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.26% of the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding based upon the Issued and Outstanding Shares. As of the date hereof, Parche, LLC beneficially owns an aggregate of 81,978 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.61% of the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding based upon the Issued and Outstanding Shares. As of the date hereof, Starboard Value & Opportunity Fund, LLC beneficially owns an aggregate of 430,382 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 3.23% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock based upon the Issued and Outstanding Shares. As of the date hereof, RJG Capital Partners, LP beneficially owns an aggregate of 8,600 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.06% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock based upon the Issued and Outstanding Shares. (b) Each of the Reporting Entities has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by it. (c) Except as set forth above or in the attached Schedule II, no person identified in Item 2 hereof has effected any transaction in shares of such Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date hereof. (d) Not applicable. (e) Not applicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understanding or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Barington Capital Group, L.P. or one or more of its affiliates expect to receive from Starboard Value & Opportunity Fund, LLC and Parche, LLC a fee with respect to certain profits those entities may derive from their investment in the Common Stock of the Company. An agreement between the parties with respect to the foregoing has not yet been formalized. Item 7.
