| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On November 6, 2025, Fossil Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its subsidiary, Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd (the “Plan Company”) held a single meeting (the “Plan Meeting”) of such persons who are or may be creditors of the Plan Company (the “Plan Creditors”) in respect of the Company’s US $150,000,000 7.00% Senior Notes (the “Notes”), at which its restructuring plan pursuant to Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 (as amended) (the “Restructuring Plan”) was approved by the requisite statutory majority of Plan Creditors.
For the Restructuring Plan to be approved by the Plan Creditors, at least 75% in value of the Notes held by the Plan Creditors who were present and voting (in person or by proxy) at the Plan Meeting needed to vote in favour of the Restructuring Plan. 82.88% of Plan Creditors by value entitled to vote on the Restructuring Plan were present (either in person or by proxy) at the Plan Meeting, of which:
| • | 363 Plan Creditors voted in favour of the Restructuring Plan, representing 99.99% by value of the Plan Creditors present and voting (in person or by proxy) at the Plan Meeting; and |
| • | 1 Plan Creditor voted against the Restructuring Plan, representing 0.01% by value of the Plan Creditors present and voting (in person or by proxy) at the Plan Meeting. |
As the Restructuring Plan was approved by the Plan Creditors at the Plan Meeting, a hearing before the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the “Court”) will be held in respect of the Plan Company’s application for the sanction of the Restructuring Plan (the “Sanction Hearing”). The Sanction Hearing is expected to be held at the Royal Courts of Justice, Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London EC4A 1NL, United Kingdom on November 10, 2025. The exact time and location will be confirmed and published by the Court by 4:30 p.m. (London time) / 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on November 7, 2025 in the Insolvency & Companies Court Cause List.
A copy of the press release issued on November 6, 2025 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
The information furnished in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
