Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

On November 21, 2017, Deckers Outdoor Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), with the designated borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto.

The Amendment amends the definition of “Change in Control” in the Credit Facility to permit the occupation of a majority of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) by persons who were approved by the Board as director candidates prior to their election without such event constituting a “Change in Control.”

As previously announced, the Board authorized the Company to enter into the Amendment to prevent an “event of default” from occurring if a majority of the director nominees of Marcato International Master Fund, Ltd. (“Marcato”) are elected to the Board at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board has approved Marcato’s director nominees as director candidates under the Credit Facility solely for this purpose.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference.
