Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 28, 2009, Tom Kartsotis notified the board of directors (the “Board”) of Fossil, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision not to stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s next annual meeting.  Mr. Kartsotis will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until the next annual meeting, which the Company expects will be held in May 2010.  Mr. Kartsotis’ decision not to run for re-election was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or its management, and Mr. Kartsotis has informed us that he intends to remain a significant stockholder of the Company for the foreseeable future.
