two companies have signed a letter of intent which is preliminary to
the signing of a 10-year licensing agreement. The licensing agreement is

As noted yesterday, Armani and Luxottica have signed a letter of intent regarding the licensing deal. The Safilo-Armani licensing deal will not expire until December 31, 2012. Safilo hooked up with Armani only after a falling out with the previous licensee--Luxottica.
