On May 16, 2012, the Company announced it had reached a settlement agreement relating to allegations that it used false advertising in the marketing of its toning shoe products, specifically the Shape-ups brand. Skechers will pay $45 million to settle the legal claims that were brought by the Federal Trade Commission, various state Attorneys General, and consumer class actions.
Our investigation concerns whether the Skechers board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
