    Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), a global leader in designing, marketing and distributing innovative footwear, apparel and accessories, urged stockholders to vote TODAY “FOR” ALL of Deckers’ highly qualified, experienced nominees on the WHITE proxy card.

    Deckers’ 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is just a few days away and will be held on December 14, 2017. It is imperative that stockholders vote as soon as possible. All stockholders’ votes are extremely important, no matter how many shares they own.

    Deckers’ proxy statement and other important information related to the Annual Meeting can be found on the company’s website at www.votedeckers.com.

    VOTE “FOR” ALL OF DECKERS’ NOMINEES ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY

    Deckers encourages stockholders to vote for continued value creation, focused execution of a long-term strategic, transformation plan, and highly qualified directors with relevant experience. The best choice for stockholders is clear: vote “FOR” ALL of Deckers’ nominees on the WHITE proxy card.

    Here are the facts:

    • Deckers’ shares have outperformed its proxy peers over the last five years. Using the current market price, Deckers is outperforming its proxy peers by over 35% over the last five years.1 Our stock hit a fresh 52-week high of $78.38 on December 8, 2017.
    • Deckers has increased gross profit margin and reduced spend by improving input costs, shortening product development cycles, rationalizing our retail footprint, consolidating offices and controlling indirect spend. Our recent results in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 demonstrate the power of our transformation, as we generated a 220 basis point increase in gross margin as compared to the same period last year, in addition to delivering earnings per share that were ahead of expectations.
    • Deckers is returning capital to all stockholders through our recently announced $400 million stock repurchase plan – the most significant in our history – which we expect to complete by year-end fiscal 2020.
    • Deckers has an experienced Board focused on growing stockholder value. The current Board has been a significant agent of change to improve Deckers’ performance and is firmly committed to continuing to evolve. To meet the needs of our consumers, win in the marketplace and deliver value to stockholders, the Board is seeking individuals with highly additive skills and relevant experience. We have retained a leading national director search firm and are actively engaged in a search process to identify at least two new qualified independent directors well in advance of the 2018 Annual Meeting (expected to be held in September 2018). Further, the Board and search firm will consider all director candidates suggested by stockholders, including those proposed by Marcato Capital Management LP (“Marcato”). The appointment of new directors will coincide with an equal number of retirements from the existing Board.

    In contrast, Marcato is seeking to implement risky and value-destructive proposals at the expense of ALL Deckers stockholders. We strongly believe that Marcato’s plan will introduce substantial risk to your investment and will not create sustainable stockholder value.
