Dilution

        If you invest in our common stock in this offering, upon the completion of this offering your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2005 was approximately $14.9 million, or approximately $0.45 per share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the excess of our pro forma total tangible assets over our pro forma total liabilities by the pro forma total number of shares of common stock outstanding. The pro forma total number of shares of common stock outstanding includes the effect of:

    conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock into 7,452,492 shares of common stock;

    the termination of the put option on redeemable shares of our common stock in connection with the closing of this offering;

    an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized capital stock to 125,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock;

    the issuance of 137,097 shares of common stock to employees on October 1, 2005, and 4,868 shares of common stock to our chief executive officer on each of November 1, 2005, December 1, 2005, January 1, 2006, and February 1, 2006; and

    the sale by us of 4,950,000 shares of common stock in this offering.

        Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate, substantial dilution. After giving effect to our sale and issuance of common stock in this offering at the initial public offering price of $19.50 per share, which is the mid-point of the range set forth on the first page of this free writing prospectus, and our receipt of the estimated net proceeds of the offering of $87.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2005 would have been approximately $102.6 million, or $2.68 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $2.23 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $16.82 per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering at the initial offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Assumed initial public offering price per share         $ 19.50
         
  Pro forma net tangible book value per share at September 30, 2005   $ 0.45      
   
     
  Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   $ 2.23      
   
     
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering         $ 2.68
         
Dilution per share to new investors         $ 16.82
         

        The following table sets forth on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 2005, the total number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us for these shares and the average price per share paid to us by our existing stockholders and by new investors, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us at an assumed

initial public offering price of $19.50 per share, which is the mid-point of the range set forth on the first page of this free writing prospectus.

        Sales by the selling stockholders in this offering will cause the number of shares held by existing stockholders to be reduced to 28,372,247, or 74.1% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering, and will increase the total number of shares held by new investors to 9,900,000, or 25.9% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, the number of shares held by existing stockholders after this offering, including the effect of sales by the selling stockholders, would be reduced to 26,887,247, or 70.3% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering, and the number of shares held by new investors would increase to 11,385,000, or 29.7% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering.

        To the extent options are exercised or shares of common stock are issued pursuant to restricted stock award agreements or other awards under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, there will be further dilution to investors in this offering.

Principal and Selling Stockholders

        The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of February 6, 2006, and after the sale of shares in this offering, by:

    each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our voting securities;

    each current director;

    each of the named executive officers;

    all directors and executive officers as a group; and

    each selling stockholder participating in this offering.

        Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the SEC's rules. In computing percentage ownership of each person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of February 6, 2006, are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by that person. In addition, shares that are required to be issued by us to any person pursuant a restricted stock award agreement within 60 days of February 6, 2006 are also deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by that person. None of these shares, however, are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

        Except as indicated in this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, each stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such stockholder's name. Percentage ownership is based on 33,322,247 shares of our common stock outstanding on February 6, 2006, which assumes the conversion of all preferred stock into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each person or entity listed below is in care of Crocs, Inc., 6273 Monarch Park Place, Niwot, Colorado 80503.

        Rule 701.    Rule 701 permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with some restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. Most of our employees, officers, directors or consultants who purchased shares under a written compensatory plan or contract may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement to which this free writing prospectus relates before selling their shares pursuant to the Rule.

        Lock-Up Agreements.    We will enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters, and substantially all of our stockholders, including all of our officers and directors, have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters. Under these agreements, subject to exceptions, we may not issue any new shares of common stock and those holders of stock and options may not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or hedge any common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock, or publicly announce the intention to do any of the foregoing, without the joint prior written consent of Piper Jaffray and Thomas Weisel Partners for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement to which this free

writing prospectus relates, subject to extension for up to 35 days under specified circumstances at the option of Piper Jaffray and Thomas Weisel Partners. Piper Jaffray and Thomas Weisel Partners may agree at their joint discretion and at any time or from time to time, without notice, to release all or any portion of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements described above.
