Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity metrics. The only financial data provided relates to the pension plan status:
- Pension Plan Status: Overfunded as of December 31, 2025.
- Expected Contributions: The Company does not expect to make additional cash contributions upon termination, though actual amounts depend on settlement timing and market conditions.

Material Changes
The Board of Directors authorized the termination of the Weyco Group, Inc. Pension Plan and the associated Pension Trust, effective August 31, 2026, subject to review by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). Key changes include:
- Cessation of future benefit accruals for active employees.
- Finalization of liabilities via lump-sum payments or group annuity contracts.
- Initiation of asset liquidation and de-risking strategies for the Plan Trust.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company intends to proceed with the termination and has no current intent to revoke the decision or change the effective date, though legal rights to do so remain. The termination will not alter the benefits already earned by participants.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Regulatory Review: Termination is subject to PBGC standard termination procedures.
- Market Conditions: Actual cash outflows for settlements may vary based on prevailing market conditions.
- Compliance: The Company must secure a determination letter from the IRS regarding the Plan's tax-qualified status at the time of termination.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm the final PBGC approval of the standard termination procedures.
- Monitor the actual cash outflow required for participant settlements versus the "overfunded" status reported as of December 31, 2025.
- Verify the receipt of the IRS determination letter confirming the Plan's tax-qualified status at termination.
- Review future filings for any unexpected changes to the effective date or revocation of the termination decision.
