EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF

SECURITIES

These post-effective amendments (the “Post-Effective Amendments”) relate to the following registration statements on Form S-8 (together, the “Registration Statements”) filed by Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (the “Company”):

 

•

The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-218369), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 31, 2017, registering 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Class A Common Stock”) (the “2018 Plan Shares”) to be issued to participants under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2018 Plan”) and 10,000,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock (the “2017 Plan Shares”) under the Company’s 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”).

 

•

The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-272787), filed with the SEC on June 20, 2023, registering 7,500,000 of shares of the Class A Common Stock (the “2023 Plan Shares,” and together with the 2017 Plan Shares and the 2018 Plan Shares, the “Shares”) under the Company’s 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “2023 Plan,” and together with the 2018 Plan and the 2017 Plan, the “Plans”).

The Company is no longer issuing securities under the Plans. These Post-Effective Amendments to the Registration Statements are being filed in order to deregister all Shares that were registered under the Registration Statements and remain unissued under the Plans.

As previously disclosed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 12, 2025, on September 12, 2025 the Company merged with and into the Beach Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Beach Acquisition Co Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of Beach Acquisition Co Parent, LLC (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company is filing these Post-Effective Amendments to the Registration Statements to deregister all such securities of the Company registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the effective time of the Transaction, if any.
