The Schedule 13D filed on October 18, 2007 by Clinton Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("CGI"), Clinton Multistrategy Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands
company ("CMSF"), Clinton Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman
Islands company ("CSO"), Clinton Lexington Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands
exempted limited partnership ("CLEX") and George Hall (collectively with CGI,
CMSF, CSO and CLEX, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the shares of
Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Steven Madden,
Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") is hereby amended by this Amendment
No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Funds for the purchase of the Shares reported herein were derived from
available capital of CMSF, CSO and CLEX. A total of approximately $30.3 million
was paid to acquire such Shares.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following
paragraph:
On November 2, 2007, CGI delivered a letter to Mr. Karson expressing
its approval for the Issuer's board having formed a committee to review
strategic alternatives. CGI noted that it had increased its ownership position
to 6.1% in the expectation that the Issuer's board would in fact take steps to
realize the substantial inherent value of the Issuer. The letter stated that
while CGI continues to believe that a leveraged stock repurchase would improve
the efficiency of the Issuer's capital structure and create immediate accretion
for shareholders, CGI is not wedded to any single alternative and would support
a sale of the Issuer if the acquisition price reflected the Issuer's promising,
long-term business prospects. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit
C and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and
restated as follows:
(a) As of the close of business on November 1, 2007, the Reporting
Persons excepting George Hall may be deemed the beneficial owners of an
aggregate of 1,211,828 Shares, constituting approximately 5.7% of the Shares
outstanding. George Hall may be deemed the beneficial owner of an aggregate of
1,295,228 Shares, including 83,400 Shares beneficially owned individually,
constituting approximately 6.1% of the Shares outstanding.
The aggregate percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons is based upon 21,322,038 Shares outstanding, which is the total number
of Shares outstanding as of August 6, 2007 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August
9, 2007 for the period ended June 30, 2007.
(b) By virtue of investment management agreements with each of CMSF,
CSO and CLEX, CGI has the power to vote or direct the voting, and to dispose or
direct the disposition, of all of the 563,037 Shares held by CMSF, the 460,723
Shares held by CSO and the 188,068 Shares held by CLEX. By virtue of his direct
and indirect control of CGI, George Hall is deemed to have shared voting power
and shared dispositive power with respect to all Shares as to which CGI has
voting power or dispositive power, and he individually holds an additional
83,400 Shares. Accordingly, CGI and George Hall are deemed to have shared voting
and shared dispositive power with respect to an aggregate of 1,211,828 Shares,
and George Hall has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to an
additional 83,400 Shares.

------------------------------ ---------------------
(c) Information concerning transactions in the Shares effected by the
Reporting Persons since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D on October 18,
2007 is set forth in Schedule B hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Unless otherwise indicated, all of such transactions were effected in the open
market.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, enter into and dispose
of cash-settled equity swap or other similar derivative transactions with one or
more counterparties that are based upon the value of Shares, which transactions
may be significant in amount. The profit, loss and/or return on such contracts
may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the Shares, the
relative value of Shares in comparison to one or more other financial
instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in which
Shares may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. In addition to
the Shares that they beneficially own without reference to these contracts, the
Reporting Persons currently have long economic exposure to 216,129 Shares
through such contracts. These contracts do not give the Reporting Persons direct
or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the
Issuer and do not require the counterparties thereto to acquire, hold, vote or
dispose of any securities of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons
disclaim any beneficial ownership in any securities that may be referenced in
such contracts or that may be held from time to time by any counterparties to
such contracts.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have
any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any person with
respect to the securities of the Issuer.
