Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

As required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), which Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement reporting and disclosure requirements relating to “conflict minerals” arising under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Perry Ellis International, Inc. (the “Company”) evaluated and determined that certain products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain tin, tungsten or tantalum, which are derivatives of cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, or wolframite, and/or gold (collectively, “3TG”).

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements made in this Form SD and the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto are forward-looking statements (statements that are not historical facts) and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations rather than historical facts and they are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “guidance,” “indicate,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possibly,” “potential,” “predict,” “probably,” “proforma,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” or “target,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon and similar words or phrases or comparable terminology. We have based such forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and other factors may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control, including those factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws.
