On December 12, 2014, Caleres Investment Company, Inc. ("CIC") (formerly known as Brown Shoe Investment Company, Inc.), the sole shareholder of Shoes.com, Inc. ("Shoes.com"), simultaneously entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among CIC and an affiliate of ShoeMe Technologies Limited ("the Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired all of the outstanding capital stock, inventory and other assets of Shoes.com from CIC and the Company agreed to provide certain transition services. The aggregate purchase price of the sale was $15.0 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The Company received $4.4 million in cash and a $7.5 million face value secured convertible note ("convertible note") at closing. The convertible note requires installments over four years with the first payment of $1.25 million due on July 1, 2017 and quarterly installments of $0.6 million thereafter, plus accrued interest, until it matures on December 12, 2019. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 6% until December 11, 2016, 7% until December 11, 2017, 8% until December 11, 2018, and 9% until the maturity date. The principal and outstanding accrued interest is convertible into common stock of the Purchaser at a specified conversion price per share, at the Company's option, or automatically upon a qualified initial public offering ("IPO") by the Purchaser at the IPO price. The fair value of the convertible note of $7.2 million and $7.0 million at October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively, is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2015, respectively, is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

The operating results of Shoes.com were included in the Famous Footwear segment in continuing operations through December 12, 2014.

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which the Company adopted during the third quarter of 2014, the financial position and operating results of Shoes.com were not classified as a discontinued operation as the disposition did not represent a strategic shift resulting in a major impact on the Company's operations or financial results.
