Lakeland Brasil S.A. (“Lakeland Brazil”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lakeland Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), and Multiplica Soluções Empresariais Ltda. (“Consultant”), a private equity turnaround specialist in Brazil, have entered into a Business Consultancy Agreement (the “Consultancy Agreement”), effective as of August 27, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). Under the Consultancy Agreement, among other things, Consultant shall provide Lakeland Brazil with assistance in securing financing, which financing may include loan guarantees by Consultant to various financial institutions on behalf of Lakeland Brazil, structuring and cash flow management services, assistance in negotiation of VAT tax issues, and placing a full-time financial analyst at the office of Lakeland Brazil. The Consulting Agreement also provides for the formation of a Managing Committee, consisting of one representative of Lakeland Brazil and one representative of Consultant. The Managing Committee will discuss and make determinations of strategies relating to payment of invoices, financing of accounts receivable, factoring, and negotiations with suppliers and banks. The term of the Consultancy Agreement is twelve (12) months commencing as of the Effective Date and may be extended for an additional twelve (12) months upon agreement of the parties, subject to earlier termination as provided therein. The Effective Date was triggered by Lakeland Brazil’s securing several financial lending facilities with Brazilian lenders that is collateralized by the assets of Consultant. The proceeds of the lending facility are being used by Lakeland Brazil to alleviate cash flow constraints, thereby enabling it to grow its sales and potentially return to profitability.

Pursuant to the Consultancy Agreement, Consultant shall be paid the greater of (i) R$25,000 (Twenty Five Thousand reais) (approximately US $11,000) per month or (ii) 10% (ten percent) of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of Lakeland Brazil, calculated as of the last day of each calendar quarter in accordance with the Consultancy Agreement. In addition, if during the term of the Consultancy Agreement there is a sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Lakeland Brazil, Consultant shall be entitled to a commission of 10% of the Net Proceeds (as such term is defined in the Consultancy Agreement) of such sale transaction. The financial analyst shall be paid a fee of R$12,000 (Twelve Thousand reais) (approximately US $5,000) per month.

The financial obligations and other agreements and covenants of Lakeland Brazil or the Company relating to the Company’s current financing arrangement with Alostar Bank shall not in any way be implicated or otherwise affected by the provisions of the Consultancy Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Consultancy Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Consultancy Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the press release relating to the foregoing and issued by the Company on August 28, 2014, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
