Attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting

Pursuant to art. 106, paragraph 4, of Italian Decree Law no. 18 of March 17th, 2020 on the "Measures to strengthen the NHS and on economic aid to households, workers and businesses related to the Covid-19 health emergency", converted with amendments by Law no. 27 of April 24th, 2020 and as extended by effect of art. 3, paragraph 6, of Legislative Decree no. 183/2020, converted with amendments by Law 26 February 2021 no. 21 (the "Decree"), those entitled to vote shall participate in the Shareholders' Meeting

exclusively through the Appointed Representative, pursuant to art. 135-undecies of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, as subsequently amended and integrated (the "Consolidated Law on Finance" or "TUF"). To this end, the Company has appointed Spafid S.p.A. ("Spafid"), having its registered office in Milan, as the "Appointed Representative", to whom shall be granted a proxy in the manners and under the conditions indicated below.

Shareholders may grant proxies or sub-proxies to the Appointed Representative, pursuant to art. 135 novies of the TUF, as an exception to art. 135-undecies, paragraph 4, of the TUF.

The Meeting will therefore be held without the physical participation of the Shareholders.

Members of the Board of Directors, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Appointed Representative as well as subjects entitled, according to the applicable law, to attend, other than those entitled to exercise their right to vote, may attend the Shareholders' Meeting, using remote connection systems that allow identification. The Company will provide to said persons with relevant instructions to attend the Meeting using remote connection systems.

Entitlement to attend Shareholders' Meetings and exercise voting rights

The right to attend the Meeting and to exercise the right to vote – exclusively through the Appointed Representative – is subject to the receipt of the communication, to be requested by each entitled party, issued by their authorised intermediary to the Company, certifying ownership of the shares based on the accounting records at the end of the accounting day of the seventh trading day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting, namely April 8th, 2021 (Record Date).

Those resulting owners of shares of the Company after the above-mentioned Record Date, based on the accounting records, will not be entitled to attend and vote in the Meeting. The Company must receive the intermediary' communication by the end of the third trading day prior to the date on which the Shareholders' Meeting is convened, and, therefore, by April 14th, 2021.

However, the entitlement to attend and vote will still apply, pursuant to the terms described above and provided the term to grant a proxy to the Appointed Representative is observed, if the Company receives the intermediary' communications after the above-mentioned term, provided that they are received before the meeting session begins.

Appointed Representative

Pursuant to art. 106, paragraph 4, of the Decree, those entitled to vote shall participate in the Shareholders' Meeting exclusively through Spafid, the Appointed Representative appointed by the Company. Those entitled to vote shall therefore necessarily – and free of charge – confer a proxy to the Appointed Representative with voting instructions on all or some of the items on the agenda using the specific form, with the relevant instructions for filling in and transmission, available on the Company's website http://investor.brunellocucinelli.com, under the "Governance/Shareholders' Meetings/2021/Notifications and forms" section.

Pursuant to art. 135-undecies of the TUF, proxies with the voting instructions shall be submitted, together with a valid identity card of the shareholder granting the proxy or, should the shareholder be a legal entity, of the pro tempore legal representative or of any other legally authorized person, with the appropriate documentation detailing his/her title and power, to the Appointed Representative by the end of the second trading day prior to the Shareholders' Meeting (i.e. by April 15th, 2021) using one of the following alternative procedures:

• (i) transmission of an electronically reproduced copy (PDF) to the certified email address assemblee@pec.spafid.it (subject line "Proxy for Brunello Cucinelli 2021 Shareholders' Meeting"). The certified email shall be submitted from one's own certified email box (or, failing that, from one's own ordinary email box; in this case proxies with voting instructions must be signed with a qualified electronic or ature);
• (ii) transmission of the original by courier or registered mail with return receipt to the following address: Spafid S.p.A., Foro Buonaparte No. 10, 20121 Milan (Re: "Proxy for Brunello Cucinelli 2021 Shareholders' Meeting"), sending a copy reproduced electronically (PDF) in advance by ordinary electronic mail to assemblee@pec.spafid.it (subject line: "Proxy for Brunello Cucinelli 2021 Shareholders' Meeting").

Proxies and voting instructions may be revoked by the above-mentioned term (i.e. April 15th, 2021). Proxies will have no effect with regard to the proposals for which no voting instructions have been given. Shares for which full or partial proxy is conferred will be calculated for the purpose of determining due constitution of the Shareholders' Meeting.

As an exception to art. 135-undecies of the TUF, those who do not wish to avail themselves of the right therein provided, may, alternatively, grant to the Appointed Representative a proxy or sub-proxy pursuant to art. 135-novies of the TUF, necessarily containing voting instructions on all or some of the items on the agenda, by using the appropriate proxy/sub-proxy form available on the Company's website

http://investor.brunellocucinelli.com, under the "Governance/Shareholders' Meetings/2021/Notifications and forms" section.

Proxies or sub-proxies may be conferred and submitted, also through electronic means, according to the procedures described above and indicated in the proxy form. Proxies shall be submitted by 6:00 p.m. on the day before the Shareholders' Meeting (and, in any case, before the meeting session begins). Proxies and voting instructions may always be revoked within the above-mentioned term.

In the absence of notification from the authorised intermediary certifying the entitlement to participate at the Shareholders' Meeting, proxies shall have no effect.

For any clarifications on granting the proxy to the Appointed Representative (and, specifically, on the filling of the proxy form and the voting instructions and their transmission), please contact Spafid by email at confidential@spafid.it or at the following telephone numbers (+39) 0280687.319 and (+39) 0280687.335 (on business days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
