2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On March 7,
2017 (the Grant Date), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee) of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the Company) approved a new plan for long-term incentive compensation (the
2017 LTIP) and granted equity awards in the aggregate amount of 871,011 shares based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the Grant Date ($7.52 per share) to certain employees, including its named executive
officers. With respect to each grantee, 33% of the award was in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs) and 67% of such award was in the form of target level performance stock units (PSUs). The total PSUs listed below for issuance under the 2017
LTIP assumes shares for PSUs are paid out at target level. The share amounts granted to the Companys named executive officers on the Grant Date are as follows:

Summary of Material Terms of the PSUs and RSUs
The material terms of the PSUs and RSUs are substantially similar to those set forth in the 2016 LTIP, as previously disclosed by the Company. Specifically,
the RSUs for each of our named executive officers vest one third annually on each of March 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
As indicated above, the PSUs
listed above represent the target award share amount. The actual number of stock units that may be earned range from 0%-200% of the number of Target PSUs listed above. The PSUs vest based on performance metrics approved by the Compensation
Committee, which, for the performance period commencing January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2019, are based on the Companys achievement of an aggregate adjusted operating income performance target to be set forth in the
applicable award agreements, and continued employment through December 31, 2019.
If the Companys three-year cumulative total shareholder return during the performance period is within the
bottom quartile of its competitive group using the compensation peer frame most recently approved by the Compensation Committee, the maximum number of shares that can be earned is 100% of target.
On a change in control within the first 18 months of the performance period, the PSUs will convert into time-based vested RSUs at the Target performance
level. On a change in control occurring within the second 18 months of the performance period, the outstanding PSUs will convert to time based RSUs based on the cumulative actual operating income performance versus the original target performance,
and prorated for the number of completed months as of the date of such change of control. Time-vested RSUs shall accelerate in the event of an involuntary termination without cause within 18 months following a change of control. If the awards are
not assumed or substituted, the shares vest immediately, using the same determination of performance as described in the section regarding change of control in the second 18 months of the performance period.
2017 Annual Incentive Plan
On March 7, 2017,
the Compensation Committee of the Company approved Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) targets for cash bonuses to employees in respect of 2017, including named executive officers. For all named executive officers, the targets are based on
achievement of performance goals weighted as follows: 37.5% Iconix non-GAAP net income, 37.5% Iconix revenue and 25% based on performance objectives specific to the individual.
The base salaries and target/maximum percentage payouts in effect for each of the named executive officers at the time of the AIP are as follows:
