The agreement covered fiscal years 2008 through 2013 (with fiscal year 2013 remaining subject to final documentation). As a result of the agreement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a settlement charge of $12.8 million (including penalty and interest and net of related offsets in other tax jurisdictions) in excess of prior uncertain tax position reserves of $11.7 million. As part of the agreement, a portion of the amount payable to the Italian tax authority will be payable in three installments during fiscal 2015.

The Company was advised by its Italian counsel that tax audits like this one in Italy involving proposed income adjustments greater than €2 million are automatically referred for review by a public prosecutor who may seek to pursue charges or close the matter, and that resulting criminal charges, if any, would be instituted against individuals rather than against the affected companies under Italian law. Consistent with this process, a review proceeding by a prosecutor in Italy was initiated with respect to one current and two former members of the Guess European management team and the Company’s former President (as the signing officer for certain Italian tax returns covering the relevant periods). In July 2013, the matter was closed based on the prosecutor's recommendation.
