PRESS RELEASE

MANNER AND EXERCISE RATIO OF THE F.I.L.A S.P.A. MARKET WARRANTS

Milan, DECEMBER 1, 2015 - F.I.L.A. – Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini S.p.A. ("F.I.L.A.") announces, in accordance with Article 3 of the "F.I.L.A. S.p.A. Market Warrant" Regulation, that as the Average Monthly Price for November 2015 was Euro 10.56 (BNP PARIBAS Securities Services - average of the average weighted price of the entirety of the F.I.L.A. ordinary shares traded on the MIV during the trading sessions in the month of November 2015) and therefore above the Acceleration Price of Euro 10.38, the Average Monthly Price is replaced by the Acceleration Price as per paragraph 3.3 of the above-stated Regulation and the exercise ratio for November 2015 is therefore 0.27.

Warrant exercise requests should be presented to the intermediary utilising the Monte Titoli S.p.A. system with which the warrants are deposited, by the final day of the current month.

The relative conversion shares should be made available for trading by the tenth open trading day of the month subsequent to that in which the request was presented. The conversion shares will have the same rights as ordinary shares in circulation.

Warrants remaining unexercised by the "Deadline" (the first of the following dates: (i) June 2, 2020 and (ii) the first Open Trading Day subsequent to the passing of 30 calendar days from the publication date of the Acceleration Communication) are considered void and without validity.

For further information, reference should be made to the "F.I.L.A. S.p.A. Market Warrants" Regulation available on the Issuer's website (www.fila.it).

F.I.L.A. operates through 11 production facilities and 19 subsidiaries across the globe and employs approx. 5,000.

F.I.L.A. (Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini) has achieved outstanding success in Italy through its colouring, drawing, modelling, writing and painting tools and is now seen as the pinnacle for creative solutions across many countries thanks to brands such as GIOTTO, Tratto, DAS, Didò, Pongo and LYRA. Founded in Florence in 1920, F.I.L.A. is a highly consolidated, dynamic and innovative industrial enterprise and continues to grow market share. Managed since 1956 by the Candela family, FILA has achieved global reach and is listed on the STAR segment of the Milan Stock Exchange

Under the stewardship of Massimo Candela, majority shareholder and CEO of F.I.L.A., the company has achieved strong growth over the last twenty years, with revenues of over Euro 230 million in 2014 while undertaking a series of strategic acquisitions: the Italian Adica Pongo in 1994, the US Dixon Ticonderoga in 2005, the German LYRA in 2008, the Mexican Lapiceria Mexicana in 2010 and the Brazilian Lycin in 2012. In addition to these acquisitions, in 2011 a stake was acquired in the Indian Writefine Products Private Limited. In October 2015, a further stake of 32.5% was acquired, bringing F.I.L.A.'s holding in the company to 51%.

In 2014, F.I.L.A. and Maimeri - a highly-renowned Italian enterprise involved in the production and sale of colours, paints and fine art products and accessories - set up Industria Maimeri. The joint venture was a major step in the Group's expansion on the fine arts market.
