== About ==
Rocky Brands, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets premium quality
rugged outdoor, occupational, and casual footwear, as well as branded apparel
and accessories. The Company's footwear, apparel and accessories are marketed
through several distribution channels, primarily under owned brands, ROCKY® and
GATES®, and as a result of the acquisition of EJ Footwear, GEORGIA BOOT®,
LEHIGH®, DURANGO, and the licensed brand DICKIES®.
 
The Company's product line is organized into three primary categories: rugged
outdoor footwear, including hunting and hiking boots, with suggested retail
prices generally ranging from $60 to $190 per pair; nonmilitary occupational
footwear, with suggested retail prices generally ranging from $40 to $160; and
handsewn casual footwear, with suggested retail prices generally ranging from
$90 to $150 per pair. The Company also sells footwear accessories, such as
waterproof socks and innersole support systems, and has a factory outlet store
in Nelsonville, Ohio.
 
Innovativeness, quality, and durability are hallmarks of the ROCKY® brand name.
The Company continually monitors the development of innovative raw materials and
has distinguished its branded products by incorporating new fabric technologies
into the design of its footwear. Rocky places an emphasis on the manufacture of
waterproof footwear and is currently the largest customer of Gore-Tex
waterproof fabric for footwear. The Company was also the first footwear
manufacturer to market an all CORDURA® nylon fabric hunting boot.
 
The Company is the successor to the business of The Wm. Brooks Shoe Company, a
company established in 1932 by William Brooks, who was later joined by F. M.
Brooks (the grandfather of the Company's current Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer, Mike Brooks). The business was sold in 1959 to a company
headquartered in Lancaster, Ohio. John W. Brooks (the father of Mike Brooks)
remained as an employee of the business when it was sold. In 1975, John W.
Brooks formed John W. Brooks, Inc. (nka Rocky Shoes & Boots Co. ("Rocky Co."))
as an Ohio corporation, reacquired the Nelsonville, Ohio, operating assets of
the original company, and moved the business' principal executive offices back
to Nelsonville, Ohio. In 1987, Five Star Enterprises Ltd. ("Five Star"), a
Cayman Islands corporation, was formed by John W. Brooks, Mike Brooks, two other
current executive officers of the Company, and Eric M. Beraza, a retired
executive officer of the Company, to produce shoe and boot uppers at a
manufacturing facility located in La Vega, Dominican Republic. In 1988,
Lifestyle Footwear, Inc., ("Lifestyle"), a Delaware corporation, was established
as a subsidiary of Rocky Co. and commenced operations at a manufacturing
facility in Aquadilla, Puerto Rico.
