Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the August 13, 2009 annual meeting of stockholders of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”).
 
The 2009 Plan provides that it will be administered by the Compensation Committee or another  committee of independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed by the Board (the “Committee”), or in the absence of such Committee, by the Board. The administrator of the 2009 Plan will have the authority to administer the 2009 Plan, determine participants who will be granted awards under the 2009 Plan, the size and types of awards, the terms and conditions of awards and the form and content of the award agreements representing awards. Non-employee directors, executive officers and other employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries will be eligible to be participants in the 2009 Plan.
 
The following types of awards or any combination of them may be granted under the 2009 Plan: (i) “Stock Options” (both “Incentive Stock Options” and “Non-Qualified Options”) to acquire shares of  the Company’s common stock; (ii) “Stock Grants” which entitle the grantee to acquire shares of common stock, which may be subject to certain restrictions, such as restrictions on transferability and which may include stock units including restricted stock units; and (iii) “Performance Awards,” which entitle the grantee to receive, without payment, an award following the attainment of performance goals. However, only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the 2009 Plan.
 
The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2009 Plan is 3,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations and other specified events as set forth in the 2009 Plan.  If any outstanding award is canceled, forfeited or surrendered to the Company for tax withholding purposes, shares of common stock allocable to such award may again be available for awards under the 2009 Plan.
 
The description of the 2009 Plan described in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the language in the 2009 Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference to Annex A of the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2009.
