INTERPARFUMSSA

Project to simplify the control structure
Merger by absorption of the French company Interparfums Holding SAS by French company Interparfums SA
The French company Interparfums SA, listed on Euronext Paris, proposes to absorb the French company Interparfums Holding SAS in December 2025.
To date, Interparfums Holding SAS has no operational activities. Its only asset (excluding cash) consists of shares in Interparfums SA. This company has no development objectives of its own, nor any specific investment projects.
This transaction has the advantage of simplifying the shareholding structure of the French company Interparfums SA by simply replacing its sole shareholder, the French company Interparfums Holding SAS, with the American company Interparfums Inc., whose shares are traded on the Nasdaq in New York.
The Board of Directors of Interparfums SA and the Chairman of Interparfums Holding SAS have therefore decided to present to their respective shareholders a plan to merge Interparfums SA and Interparfums Holding SAS, with the former absorbing the latter. It should be noted that Interparfums SA is controlled at the highest level by Messrs. Philippe Benacin et Jean Madar.

Simplified structure of Interparfums after the merger (disappearance of Interparfums Holding SAS)
Interparfums Holding SAS's only asset (excluding cash) is its Interparfums SA shares. Consequently, the merger parity between Interparfums SA and Interparfums Holding SAS is established on a transparent basis. The share exchange ratio adopted is 25.5852 Interparfums SA shares for 1 Interparfums Holding SAS share.
In consideration and representation of the net assets of the French company Interparfums Holding SAS, transferred as part of the merger, 60,632,062 new shares will be created and fully paid up by the French company Interparfums SA. These shares will all be allocated to the American company Interparfums Inc, the sole shareholder of Interparfums Holding SAS. The share capital of Interparfums SA will thus be increased by a nominal amount of €181,896,186 bringing it from €251,183,547 to €433,079,733.
The President of the Paris Commercial Court has appointed Mr. Robert Bellaiche and Mr. Laurent Benedict as merger commissioners. They have already prepared their reports and concluded that the exchange ratio is fair
and that the net assets contributed by the absorbed company are at least equal to the nominal amount of the capital increase of the absorbing company. As a result of the merger, Interparfums SA will receive 60,564,819 of its own shares. These shares are intended to be canceled in their entirety. The share capital of InterparfumsSA will thus be reduced by €181,694,457 to €251,385,276.
