ACQUISITION

Equity Investment in Town Shoes- In fiscal 2014, we acquired a 49.2% interest in Town Shoes for $75.1 million Canadian dollars ("CAD") ($68.9 million USD), which included an unsecured subordinated note from Town Shoes that earns payment-in-kind interest at 12% and matures on February 14, 2022. As of May 5, 2018, our ownership percentage was 46.3%. The dilution of our ownership was due to Town Shoes' employees exercises of stock options. Our ownership stake provided 50% voting control and board representation equal to the co-investor. The co-investor held a put option to sell the remaining interest in Town Shoes to us and we held a call option to purchase the remaining interest in Town Shoes.

Step Acquisition of Town Shoes- On May 10, 2018, we acquired the remaining interest in Town Shoes for $36.2 million CAD ($28.2 million USD), net of acquired cash of $8.5 million CAD ($6.6 million USD), by exercising our call option. This will be accounted for in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 as a step acquisition whereby we will remeasure to fair value our pre-existing assets, which will include our equity investment in Town Shoes and notes and accounts receivable from Town Shoes, and include these assets in the determination of the purchase price. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we will reclassify a net loss of $12.2 million of foreign currency translation related to the pre-existing balances from accumulated other comprehensive loss to non-operating expense.

We will include Town Shoes as a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary beginning with our second quarter of fiscal 2018. Given the acquisition date, we are in the process of developing our fair value assumptions for the pre-existing assets and the assets and liabilities acquired.
