PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.            Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents and information, which were previously filed by the Company with the Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

​

All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that all of the securities offered hereunder have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document that is also incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.            Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.            Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.            Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to

​

include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to certain exceptions, including for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payments of dividends and unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) and for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Twelfth of the Company’s certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of a director to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended.

​

Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings to which they are made a party by reason of their service in those capacities, and to advance expenses incurred in defending such proceedings, in each case subject to the standards and conditions set forth therein. Article VII of the Company’s by-laws provides for the indemnification of the directors, officers and employees of the Company, and for the advancement of expenses, in the circumstances and subject to the conditions set forth therein, consistent with Section 145 of the DGCL. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with the directors and officers of the Company that require the Company to indemnify such individuals for liabilities incurred by them because of an act, omission, neglect or breach of duty committed while acting in the capacity of a director or officer. As permitted by Article VII of the Company’s by-laws and Section 145(g) of the DGCL, the Company maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against certain liabilities that may be asserted against, or incurred by, them in those capacities.

​

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the DGCL and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws.

​

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

​

Item 7.            Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8.            Exhibits.

The following exhibits are filed herewith or incorporated by reference as part of this Registration Statement.

Registration Statement on Form S-8
​

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) of the Company, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Rules”). You have asked us to furnish our opinion as to the legality of the securities being registered under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement relates to the registration under the Act of 2,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), that are reserved for issuance under the G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

In connection with the furnishing of this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents (collectively, the “Documents”):

​

​

In addition, we have examined (i) such corporate records of the Company that we have considered appropriate, including copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Company relating to the issuance of the Shares, certified by the Company and (ii) such other certificates, agreements and documents that we deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion expressed below. We have also relied upon certificates of public officials and the officers of the Company.

In our examination of the documents referred to above, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of valid existing agreements or other documents, the authenticity of all the latter documents and that the statements regarding matters of fact in the certificates, records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined are accurate and complete.

Based upon the above, and subject to the stated assumptions, exceptions and qualifications, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any applicable Agreement under the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinion expressed above is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Our opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws, and the rules, regulations and orders under those laws, that are currently in effect.

We hereby consent to use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required by the Act or the Rules.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP
