Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 7, 2005, the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of Fossil, Inc. (the “Company”) to administer the Fossil, Inc. and Affiliates Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) adopted the First Amended and Restated Fossil, Inc. and Affiliates Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Amended Plan”).  The Amended Plan amends and restates the Plan, originally adopted on December 22, 1998, in order to comply with recent changes to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make certain other clarifying changes.  The Amended Plan is a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan that permits a select group of management or highly compensated employees to defer the receipt of base salary and bonus.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such document, which is incorporated herein by reference and filed as an exhibit hereto.
