On 15 August 2022, the Board of Directors (the 'Board') of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA (the 'Company') provided . Since then, the Board has received queries from Bluebell Capital Partners LP ('Bluebell') in relation to items 4.1 and 5.17 of the Notice of Meeting and the related Board recommendations. In the spirit of transparency towards shareholders, the Company is providing the following additional information on the queries and the Company's response. Bluebell has asked the Board to withdraw its recommendation not to elect Mr Francesco Trapani if he were to be designated as representative of the holders of 'A' shares. To Bluebell, this recommendation is inadmissible because it is made without a valid reason within the meaning of Swiss law. The Company has responded to Bluebell and noted the following:
The Board continues to believe that Mr Trapani is an inappropriate candidate for election to the Board and that, if there should be one director who is designated as representative of the holders of 'A' shares, it should be Ms Wendy Luhabe. There is therefore no reason for the Board to withdraw its recommendations. About Richemont At Richemont, we craft the future.
