Perry Ellis International Inc. announced that it has signed a definitive agreement and re-acquired from Parlux Fragrances Inc. all rights, titles, interests, intangible assets and inventory that Parlux had pursuant to a global license agreement to manufacture and distribute perfumery, fragrances, lotions, toiletries and cosmetics under the Perry Ellis brand.

George Feldenkreis, chairman and chief executive officer of Perry Ellis, commented, “We believe this agreement will allow our company to strengthen and further develop these important product categories for future growth. We have had a long partnership with Parlux and acknowledge their contribution to the development of these categories. We believe that this action will assist us in providing future shareholder value and at this point will be carefully evaluating various alternatives including possible licensing of these categories.”

The agreement to re-acquire the Perry Ellis fragrance license and related inventory in a cash transaction of approximately $63 million was effective as of December 2006.
