Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously reported, on March 7, 2016, Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among IBG Borrower LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned direct subsidiary, as borrower (“IBG Borrower”), the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of IBG Borrower, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Cortland”), and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), including CF ICX LLC and Fortress Credit Co LLC (“Fortress”), by which the Lenders provide to IBG Borrower a senior secured term loan (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the proceeds of the Senior Secured Term Loan must be used to repay the Company’s 2.50% convertible senior subordinated notes due June 2016 and issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of May 23, 2011, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “2016 Convertible Notes”), on or before their maturity.

Upon satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent on April 4, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Lenders deposited the net cash proceeds of the Senior Secured Term Loan, and IBG Borrower deposited additional funds representing the difference between such net cash proceeds and the principal amount of the 2016 Convertible Notes and interest payable thereon through their maturity, into an escrow account. Effective as of the Closing Date, the funds in the escrow account may be released to IBG Borrower from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent upon each withdrawal, exclusively to finance repurchases of, or at the maturity date thereof to repay in full, the 2016 Convertible Notes. The Company may determine to make these repurchases in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors.

The brief description of the terms of the Credit Agreement in this Item 2.03 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2016 and is incorporated by reference herein.
