Preliminary Statement:

This Schedule 13G is filed by Huber Capital Management, LLC (“HCM”) (“Huber” or the “Filer”) and amends, supplements and replaces in its entirety the Schedule 13D filed on August 12, 2016, as subsequently amended (the “Schedule 13D”), by the Filer, relating to shares of common stock of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Schedule 13D had superseded a Schedule 13G previously filed by the Filer on September 9, 2015, as subsequently amended.

In accordance with Rule 13d-1(h), the Filer accordingly determined to again report its beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on Schedule 13G.
