(1) On August 25, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.5 million shares of
our outstanding common stock. We can utilize the repurchase program to repurchase shares on the open market or in private transactions
from time to time, depending on market conditions. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Under this plan, no shares
were repurchased during 2013; therefore, there were 2.5 million shares authorized to be purchased under the program as of February 1, 2014.
Repurchases of common stock are limited under our debt agreements.
(2) Reflects shares that were tendered by employees related to certain share-based awards. These shares were tendered in satisfaction of the
exercise price of stock options and/or to satisfy minimum tax withholding amounts for non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and stock
performance awards. Accordingly, these share purchases are not considered a part of our publicly announced stock repurchase program.
Stock Performance Graph
The following performance graph compares the cumulative total return on our common stock with the cumulative total
return of the following indices: (i) the S&P© SmallCap 600 Stock Index and (ii) a peer group of companies believed to be
engaged in similar businesses. Our peer group consists of DSW, Inc., Genesco, Inc., Shoe Carnival, Inc., Skechers U.S.A., Inc.,
Steven Madden, Ltd., and Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to each January 31; accordingly, share prices are as of the last business day
in each fiscal year. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in our common stock and each index was $100
at January 31, 2009. The graph also assumes that all dividends were reinvested and that investments were held through
February 1, 2014. These indices are included for comparative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect management’s
opinion that such indices are an appropriate measure of the relative performance of the stock involved and are not
intended to forecast or be indicative of possible future performance of the common stock.
