On June 18, 2015, Lakeland Industries, Inc. (“Lakeland”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake Brasil Indústria e Comércio de Roupas e Equipamentos de Proteção Individual Ltda. (“Lakeland Brazil” and together with Lakeland, the “Company”), entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to a Settlement Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2012 (the “Settlement Agreement”), with two former officers (the “former officers”) of Lakeland Brazil. As part of the original Settlement Agreement, the parties resolved all alleged outstanding claims against the Company arising from an arbitration proceeding in Brazil involving the Company and the former officers for an aggregate amount of approximately US $8.5 million payable by the Company to the former officers over a period of six (6) years. There currently exists a balance of US $3.750 million (the “Outstanding Amount”) owed under the Settlement Agreement, which Outstanding Amount is to be paid by the Company in quarterly installments of US $250,000 through December 31, 2018.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the former officers agreed to fully and finally settle the Outstanding Amount owed by the Company for an aggregate lump-sum payment of US $3.413 million due on June 30, 2015. Within five days of receipt of such payment, the former officers are required to provide to Lakeland Brazil the documents needed to have their lien securing payment of the Outstanding Amount removed on certain real estate owned by Lakeland Brazil. The Amendment also contains a general release of claims by the former officers in favor of the Company and its past or present officers, directors, and other affiliates. Lakeland’s senior lender, Alostar Bank of Commerce, has consented to the transactions contemplated by the Amendment.

The foregoing description in the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release related to the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
