ITEM 7.01.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On February 5, 2014, Kate Spade, LLC & Kate Spade Hong Kong Ltd. (together, “Kate Spade”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) reacquired existing Kate Spade businesses in Southeast Asia from Globalluxe Kate Spade HK Limited (“Globalluxe”) for approximately $32.0 million, including $2.0 million for working capital and other previously agreed adjustments (the “Transaction”), which will be funded in the first quarter of 2014.

In Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Kate Spade will directly own and operate the related businesses previously operated by Globalluxe. Kate Spade’s new partner, Valiram Group, will operate the kate spade new york and KATE SPADE SATURDAY businesses in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia through distribution agreements and will fund approximately $1.5 million to Globalluxe to acquire operating assets in certain regions. In Thailand, Kate Spade has entered into a direct distribution agreement with AT Luxury, Globalluxe’s current sub-distributor.

For fiscal year 2013, Globalluxe’s net sales for the kate spade new york brand were approximately $44.0 million, an increase of 24.8% from the prior fiscal year on a local currency basis, with pro forma operating margins in the mid-teens. The expected incremental sales and profits resulting from these transactions are reflected in the sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance previously provided by the Company on January 9, 2014.

Further details are contained in a press release issued by the Company on February 11, 2014, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
