Dear Sirs,
This report is issued pursuant to article 125-ter of the Legislative Decree of February 24, 1998, No. 58 (the "Consolidated Financial Act") and article 72 of the CONSOB Regulation on issuers adopted pursuant to resolution No. 11971 of May 14, 1999 and subsequent amendments and integrations (the "Issuers' Resolution").
The Board of Directors has called this extraordinary shareholders meeting in order to resolve upon the granting, pursuant to article 2443 of the Italian civil code, to the Board of Directors of a proxy, for a term of five years from the date of the relevant resolution, empowering the same to resolve upon a gratuitous and divisible capital increase, pursuant to article 2349 of the Italian civil code, of maximum Euro 760,000.00 with the issuance of a maximum number of 3,800,000 ordinary shares, at a value equal to the par value of the Moncler shares on the date of the execution of the capital increase, to be entirely charged to capital account, to be awarded to the subordinate employees of Moncler S.p.A. and its subsidiaries which may be appointed as beneficiaries of the 2016-2018 incentive plan concerning the ordinary shares of Moncler S.p.A. named "Performance Shares Plan 2016-2018" (the "Plan"), with the subsequent amendment of article 5 of the by-laws currently in force, and the prior revocation of the capital increase resolved upon by the Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting of Moncler S.p.A. on April 23, 2015, for the portion of such capital increase which has not, to date, served the option rights currently awarded to the beneficiaries of the stock option plan named "Performance Stock Option Plan 2015" currently in force and approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Moncler on April 23, 2015.
The meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 3, 2016 has resolved upon, among others, the submission to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, as second item of the agenda an incentive and loyalty plan named "Performance Shares Plan 2016-2018" (the "Plan"), addressed to the executive directors, executive with strategic responsibilities, employees, collaborators and consultants of Moncler S.p.A. ("Moncler" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries pursuant to article 93 of the Consolidated Financial Act, to be executed through the gratuitous allocation of Moncler ordinary shares (the "Shares"), upon achievement of certain performance targets (the "Performance Targets").
The details of the Plan are described in the relevant directors' report and the information memorandum drafted in compliance with article 84-bis of the Issuers' Regulation at the Shareholders' disposal for the assessment thereof in light of the above mentioned item of the agenda of the ordinary shareholders' meeting.
The object of the Plan is, namely, the granting of the so-called Moncler Rights which give the right, in case certain performance targets are achieved, to gratuitously receive one (1) Share per each Moncler Right granted, it being understood that the number of Shares to be allocated will be defined on the basis of the level of achievement of the above mentioned Performance Targets.
Such Shares shall result from a capital increase - to be executed through profits or reserves pursuant to article 2349 of the Italian civil code - or from the allocation of own shares.
Therefore, for the purposes of securing a sufficient amount of Shares to be allocated to the subordinate employees of Moncler S.p.A. and its subsidiaries which may be appointed as beneficiaries of the Plan upon achievement of the Performance Targets, the Board of Directors hereby suggests granting, pursuant to article 2443 of the Italian civil code, the same Board of Directors a proxy, for a term of five years from the date of the relevant resolution, empowering the same to resolve upon a gratuitous and divisible capital increase, pursuant to article 2349 of the Italian civil code, of maximum Euro 760,000.00 with the issuance of a maximum number of 3,800,000 ordinary shares, at a value equal to the par value of the Moncler shares on the date of the execution of the capital increase, to be entirely charged to capital account, to be awarded to the subordinate employees of Moncler S.p.A. and its subsidiaries which may be appointed as beneficiaries of the Plan.
The grounds for the adoption of the Plan are based on the need to keep on offering a remuneration system which, on the one hand, builds loyalty and encourages managers and key individuals of the Group, linking the variable part of the relevant compensation to the actual performance of the Company and the creation of new value, orienting the key personnel towards medium-long term results and, on the other hand, may attract highly qualified resources within the management team.
Moreover, it is hereby pointed out that the Performance Stock Option Plan 2015 provides for the awarding to the beneficiaries of the same of up to 2,548,225 options which grant the relevant holder the right to subscribe newly issued shares of Moncler with no par value with a one share per each option ratio.
In order to serve the above mentioned plan, the Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting of April 23, 2015 has resolved upon a paid divisible capital increase of the Company's share capital, by 30 June 2022, of a nominal maximum amount of Euro 509,645, through the issuance, including in more than one occasion, of maximum 2,548,225 ordinary shares with no par value, with the same characteristics as the ordinary shares in circulation at the issuance date, with regular dividend rights, with the exclusion of the option rights pursuant to article 2441, paragraph 4, second part, of the Italian civil code, to be reserved for the subscription by the beneficiaries of the stock option plan named "Performance Stock Option Plan 2015" approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on April 23, 2015.
The options for the subscription of the Company's shares that are currently awarded to the beneficiaries of the 2015 Plan (net of the options which, although previously awarded, have expired or in any case cannot any longer be otherwise exercised pursuant to the regulations governing the 2015 Plan) are in the aggregate equal to No. 1,375,000 options.
The Company does not intend to award further option rights in relation to the 2015 Plan and, besides, the Board of Directors meeting held on March 3, 2016 has resolved upon the use of own shares together with shares resulting from the above capital increase for the purposes of serving the 2015 Plan.
In light of the above, the Board of Directors hereby proposes that the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolves upon the revocation of the Capital Increase related to the 2015 Plan to the extent – taking into account the mentioned intention of the Company not to award further options in relation to the 2015 Plan – it is not necessary to serve the option rights that are currently awarded to the relevant beneficiaries. For the above purposes, it is hereby proposed that the Capital Increase related to the 2015 Plan is revoked for the portion relating to the issuance of No. 1,173,225 shares.
For the execution of the capital increase serving the Plan, it is hereby proposed to empower the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 2443 of the Italian civil code, to resolve upon a gratuitous and divisible capital increase through profits and reserves to be identified by the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 2349 of the Italian civil code, of maximum Euro 760,000.00 with the issuance of a maximum number of 3,800,000 ordinary shares, with par value equal to the Moncler shares on the date of the execution of the capital increase, to be entirely charged to capital account.
The Plan spans a three-year period (2016-2018) and provides for the allocation to the Beneficiaries of the Moncler Rights to be carried out during the 2016 financial year and the possible granting of the Shares to be performed in 2019 following the assessment of the Performance Targets. The maximum number of Shares to be allocated to the Beneficiaries is equal to No. 3,800,000.00.
The share capital increase pursuant to article 2349, paragraph 1 of the Italian civil code will have to be executed by means of profits and/or reserves as resulting from the last financial statement approved during the financial year in which the Shares are allocated. For this reason, the most effective technical means for the above purposes is empowering the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 2443 of the Italian civil code, to resolve upon the gratuitous capital increase in order to serve the Plan.
The Board of Directors will be also empowered to determine, in due course and from time to time, the profits and/or reserves to be allotted to such purpose, and to adjust the relevant account books in accordance with the issuance of such shares, in compliance with the applicable laws and accounting principles.
The Shares allocated to the beneficiaries of the Plan have regular dividend rights and, therefore, the rights related thereto are due to each beneficiary as of the date when the same becomes the holder of such Shares, together with the relevant dividend coupon in force on such date.
As a consequence of the proposed resolution, article 5 of the by-laws currently in force will have to be amended by adding a paragraph providing for the revocation of the Capital Increase related to the 2015 Plan to the extent – taking into account the mentioned intention of the Company not to award further options in relation to the 2015 Plan – it is not necessary to serve the option rights that are currently awarded to the relevant beneficiaries; as well as by adding a paragraph comprising the proxy to be granted to the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 2443 of the Italian civil code, in order to empower the same to gratuitously increase the share capital in accordance with article 2349 of the Italian civil code.
It is hereby pointed out that the proposed amendment to the by-laws does not grant to the Shareholders who do not vote in favor of such amendment the right to withdraw, since it does not ground any reason for their withdrawal pursuant to article 2437 of the Italian civil code.
Here below is the wording currently in force of article 5 of the by-laws of Moncler currently in force, against the wording hereby proposed by the Board of Directors (through the addition of a paragraphs 5.5 and 5.6 as per the first item of the Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting of the date hereof):
