REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE PROPOSAL UNDER ITEM 8 ON THE AGENDA, IN ORDINARY PART, OF THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF SALVATORE FERRAGAMO S.P.A., CONVENED IN A SINGLE CALL, IN ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY SESSION, FOR APRIL 26, 2023

8. Integration, upon motivated proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors, of the remuneration of the auditing firm KPMG S.p.A., competent for the legal audit of the accounts for the period 2020-2028. Related and consequent resolutions.

Shareholders,

the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 18, 2019, upon motivated proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors, pursuant to Article 13, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010 (the "Decree No. 39"), resolved to appoint KPMG S.p.A. (hereinafter respectively the "Engagement" and "KPMG") as the independent auditors for the fiscal years 2020-2028.

KPMG's engagement, in paragraph 6.2, provides the following: "Should circumstances arise that would result in an aggravation of time, significant changes in the timing of the engagement, and/or a change in the professional level of the members of the audit team assigned to the engagement, including the involvement of different or additional specialists or external experts, compared to what is estimated in this letter (such as, by way of example, the change in the group structure, size and activities of the Company and/or the investee companies included in this engagement letter, changes in the internal control system and/or the Company's financial reporting preparation process, including information systems, the non-delivery or delayed delivery of necessary documentation the unavailability of the persons from whom we would deem it necessary to acquire evidence, the performance of additional procedures to the work performed by the component auditors, regulatory changes (including any supplementary and corrective provisions to the Decree) as well as any clarifications by the competent Authorities or different interpretations of the Decree and the Regulations, changes in accounting and/or auditing standards, new professional guidelines, the performance of complex or extraordinary transactions by the Company, they will be discussed and agreed with you and the Board of Statutory Auditors to formulate, by virtue of this paragraph, a consequent integration of the original fees indicated in paragraph 6 above.1, which may cover, depending on the circumstances, the individual fiscal year or even the remaining fiscal years covered by this letter. Likewise, should less time be taken than anticipated, the fees will be reduced proportionally."

KPMG, in a letter dated December 21, 2022, submitted to the attention of the Company and the Board of Statutory Auditors a request for the integration of the fees, previously approved by said Shareholders' Meeting, related to Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., representing how the regulatory

framework related to the statutory audit and the reference auditing standards (ISA Italia) was subject to important changes that, with reference to companies whose fiscal year coincides with the calendar year 2022, came into force starting with the audit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

KPMG represented that:

  • (i) the application of the new auditing standard ISA 315 Revised "Identification and Assessment of Significant Misstatement Risks."
  • (ii) the specific audit procedures on the reporting packages of some subsidiaries,
  • (iii) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815, adopted by the European Commission on December 17, 2018, which determined the obligation for issuers of securities admitted to an EU regulated market, such as the Company, to prepare annual financial reports in the XHTML format and mark IFRS consolidated financial statements using the XBRL markup language,

have a material impact on the scope of the statutory audit of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A.'s statutory and consolidated financial statements and will result in an increase in the estimated commitments for the performance of the audit for each of the fiscal years 2022- 2028.

In addition to the above, with regard to the financial statements as of December 31, 2022 only, KPMG represented how additional procedures were necessary with regard to some activities that occurred during the period.

In addition, KPMG, in a letter dated February 27, 2023, brought to the attention of the Company and the Board of Statutory Auditors a request for the integration of the fees, previously approved by the said Shareholders' Meeting, related also to the foreign subsidiaries of the Salvatore Ferragamo Group, representing how the regulatory framework related to statutory audit and international auditing standards had undergone important changes.

In addition to this, as a result of the pandemic from Covid-19, the global economy, in general, and the reference "market" of audit firms have undergone a major disruption from which has resulted, as one of the major effects, the so-called "great resignation" phenomenon with the consequent need to have to counterbalance the large number of resignations with higher-paid hires with the aim of attracting and retaining talent. In addition, and with particular reference to Japan, the effects of recent changes in labor regulations, which have introduced severe restrictions on overtime work, have made it necessary to structurally intervene in order to maintain an adequate level of overhaul garrison while creating a work environment that complies with the changing demands of regulations and the population.

With reference to the above, KPMG represented that:

  • (i) the application of the new auditing standards ISA 315 Revised "Identification and Assessment of Significant Misstatement Risks" and ISA 540 "Review of Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures.";
  • (ii) the introduction and implementation of the international standard on quality management-"International Standard on Quality Management 1" (ISQM1), which came into effect on December 15, 2022;
  • (iii) the macroeconomic effects brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a severe and permanent change to the audit service delivery arrangements and a particular strain on the personnel front and concomitant difficulty in hiring, with major effects on the service cost structure and the consequent need to revise contracts with clients in order to maintain an adequate level of audit quality;
  • (iv) a significant inflationary recovery in essentially all countries of the world

have had a significant impact on the scope of the statutory audit of the reporting packages and financial statements of some of the Ferragamo Group's foreign subsidiaries and will result in an increase in the estimated commitments to carry out the audit for each of the fiscal years 2022- 2028.

To the kind attention of Dr. Alessandro Corsi, Chief Financial Officer and p.c.

Of Dr. Andrea Balelli, Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors

December 21, 2022

Statutory audit assignment conferred pursuant to Article 13 of Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010 - Communication pursuant to paragraph 6.2 of our Ietter of Appointment dated December 3, 2018

Dear Sirs

as anticipated during our recent meetings, with reference to the engagement of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. (hereinafter the "Company") to audit the statutory financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of the Ferragamo Group with respect to the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2028 conferred on us by the Shareholders' Meeting on April 18, 2019 on the basis of our Ietter of Appointment dated December 3, 2018 and the fee adjustment letters dated October 14, 2021 and March 2, 2022, the need has arisen to make certain additions as a result of the following considerations.

New Auditing Standard ISA 315 Revised

With a Determination of the Ministry of Economy and Finance/State General Accounting Office dated September 1, 2022, new international auditing standards were adopted including, of utmost importance, Principle No. 315 on "Identification and Evaluation of Risks of Significant Errors." Indeed, this standard is the centerpiece of the entire audit process as it aims to provide the auditor with the rules for identifying and assessing the risks of significant errors, whether due to fraud or unintentional behavior, at the level of financial statements and assertions, so as to define and implement appropriate audit responses to these risks.

The new version introduces many new features, including:

  • gaining an understanding of the company and the context in which it operates requires the auditor to place special emphasis on the business model,

Salvatore Ferragamo S . p.A. Dec. 21, 2022

including the extent to which this model incorporates the use of IT, and on how the enterprise measures its performance

with reference to the internal control system, as part of gaining an understanding of the information and communication system relevant to the preparation of the financial statements, the auditor should understand, among other aspects, the resources that the enterprise uses in information processing activities, with specific emphasis onIl'lT. In particular, information on the human resources involved that may be relevant to an understanding of the risks to the integrity of the information system includes such aspects as the competence of the people doing the IWork, the existence of adequate resources, and the existence of appropriate segregation of duties. The auditor must also gain an understanding of the IT environment (applications, infrastructure, processes, and personnel) and the company's use of theI'lT to arrive at an identification of any risks arising from that use.

Lastly, as part of the control activities performed by the firm, a specific list of controls is now identified that the auditor is required to identify and perform tests on in terms of their configuration and implementation, such as controls that address a risk deemed significant or those on accounting records, including non-standard records used to record nonrecurring or unusual transactions or adjusting records.

a more granular determination of risk, particularly inherent risk, through the exercise of professional judgment, based on consideration of inherent risk factors such as complexity, subjectivity, change, uncertainty, and the possibility of error due to management interference or other fraud risk factors.

ESEF

The European Commission, on December 17, 2018, adopted Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 (hereinafter "Delegated Regulation") under which issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on an EU regulated market (hereinafter "Issuers") are required to:

To prepare annual financial reports in XHTML, a format readable by human users;

Mark IFRS consolidated financial statements, where prepared, using the XBRL markup language.

The obligation to prepare annual financial reports in XHTML format takes effect from the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021, and, also as of that date, Issuers must mark all numbers in a declared currency present:

In the statement of financial position;

in the statement of profit/(loss) for the year and other comprehensive income;

In the statement of changes in equity;

in the cash flow statement

that make up the IFRS consolidated financial statements.

Salvatore Ferragamo S . p.A. Dec. 21, 2022

In addition, in addition to the numbers in a stated currency above and again with specific reference to the marking of IFRS consolidated financial statements, Issuers must mark:

beginning with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021, the information disclosed in the IFRS consolidated financial statements that corresponds to the items in Table 1 of Annex Il of the Delegated Regulations and

beginning with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, the information disclosed in the IFRS consolidated financial statements that corresponds to the items in Table 2 of AIIegato Il of the Delegated Regulations.

The Legislature aligned the annual financial report regulations with European regulations through an amendment to Article 154-ter of Legislative Decree 58/98 by inserting two new paragraphs effective February 1, 2022. Specifically, the new paragraph 1.1 indicates that the directors shall see to the application of the provisions of the Delegated Regulations to the annual financial reports that Issuers publish in accordance with paragraph 1 of the same article, while the new paragraph 1.2 defines the responsibilities of the statutory auditor. The latter, in fact, in the audit report referred to in Article 14 of Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010, must also express an opinion on the conformity of the draft annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements, if any, included in the annual financial report, with the provisions of the Delegated Regulations, on the basis of an auditing standard developed, for this purpose, pursuant to Article 11, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010. In this regard, by a Determination of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (State General Accounting Office) dated February 11, 2022, the Auditing Standard (SA) ltalia 700B "The Responsibilities of the Statutory Auditor with Respect to Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)" was adopted, effective for audits of financial statements for administrative periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

Taking into account the changed regulatory framework as compared to our original engagement letter dated December 3, 2018, paragraphs 1 , 2.1, 2 3 and 3 of that Ietter relating, respectively, to the"'Subject matter and purpose of the engagement", "Nature of the engagement - Statutory Audit", "Nature of the engagement - Directors' responsibilities" and "Manner of conducting the engagement", shall be deemed to have been changed for the above aspects with effect from the engagement for the statutory audit of the biIanc! of your Company from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Specific review procedures on foreign reportinq packaqes

We have agreed with you that the Italian team, as part of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, will be responsible for conducting certain specific audit procedures on the reporting packages of the following subsidiaries: Ferragamo U.K. Limited, Ferragamo Deutschland GmbH, Ferragamo Espana S.L., Ferragamo Retail Nederland B.V., Ferragamo Austria GmbH.

Other non-recurring items

In addition to the above, with regard only to the financial statements with a closing date of December 31, 2022, additional procedures were necessary with regard to the migration activities on the SAP information system with regard to the subsidiary Ferragamo Mexico S. de R.L. de CV, the analysis of the new incentive plan aimed at the CEO, the signing of the contract with Farfetch Platform Solution Limited and the renewal of the Advance Price Agreement (APA).

Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. Dec. 21, 2022

The issuance of the new ISA ltalia standards, the changes related to the ESEF Regulations, other non-recurring items, and the resulting additional required audit procedures result, at present, in the need to supplement our fees provided for in our engagement letter of December 3, 2018, to take into account the new time estimate pursuant to Section 6.2', effective from the engagement for the statutory audit of the Company's financial statements from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Annex 2

Audit of Ferragamo Group subsidiaries

During FY2022, a number of requests for supplementary consideration were received from our foreign correspondents mainly due to the following issues, some of which have already been mentioned above:

  • The introduction of the new international auditing standards ISA 540 "Review of Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures" and ISA 315 "ldentification and Evaluation of Risks of Significant Errors."
  • The introduction of the lnternational Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM1), described below;
  • macroeconomic effects that, starting with the pandemic shock, have led to a severe and permanent change in the way the auditing service is delivered and to particular tension on the personnel front with a significant increase in resignations (the so-called "Great Resignation" phenomenon) on the one hand and a concomitant difficulty in hiring, with major effects on the structure of service costs and the consequent need to revise contracts with clients in order to maintain an adequate level of audit quality. With particular reference to Japan, moreover, the effects of recent changes in the labor regulations "Labor Standard Law" have significantly impacted the way the audit service is delivered. Specifically, the severe restrictions introduced on overtime work in response to the "karoshi" phenomenon, i.e., ii death due to overwork, have in fact changed behavior and made it necessary to structurally intervene in order to maintain an adequate level of audit risk oversight while creating a work environment that conforms to the changing regulatory and population demands;
  • significant inflationary recovery in essentially all countries of the world.

The requests for fee increases are therefore attributable to situations that have arisen since the original audit proposal and make the circumstances then existing no longer relevant. It should also be pointed out that audit engagements for subsidiaries are mainly for one year and are therefore subject to renewal at each financial year-end.

International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM1)

Our auditing firm and the KPMG network are working toward the implementation of the international standard on quality management - International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM1). As of December 15, 2022, ii principle has in fact come into force internationally. International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM 1). This standard represents a significant evolution from the past with the aim of facilitating the process of improving the quality of audit work, increasing the level of confidence of users of financial statements. In the regulatory framework outlined by ISQM 1, the technological resources available to the audit firm assume increasing importance in view of the technological evolution found in the market in recent years. ln fact, ISQM 1, in paragraph 32, letter (f), expressly requires the audit firm that appropriate technological resources are acquired or developed, implemented, maintained and used to enable the audit firm's quality management system to be operational and to enable the performance of assignments. The same principle then identifies as relevant to quality management those technologies that are:

  • directly used to configure, implement and operationalize ii quality management system;
  • directly used by audit teams in the performance of their assignments;

• essential to enable the operational effectiveness of the resources mentioned in the previous points, for example, an IT infrastructure, an IT application, and the IT processes that support it.

The implementation activities of the ISQM 1 regals being carried out by our company are leading to significant implications in terms of investment in technological resources required to comply with these regals, also in relation to the increased technological risks arising from flexible work modes (smart working, hybrid working, etc.), with impact on service costs.

Summary of request for increase in consideration

Below is the integration of audit fees discussed with your administrative structure for the year 2022 and which, with the same scope of intervention, will also be applied for subsequent years. As mentioned above, however, the current scope of intervention may be subject to discussion subsequent to the Shareholders' Meeting that will approve ii 2022 financial statements in order to define an approach that takes into account the relative size of the individual subsidiaries with respect to the Group, the existence of specific risks, any local regulatory requirements.

The Board of Directors will be promptly informed of this comparison in order to share the outcome that may be applicable from FY2023.

Reasoned proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. On the integration of the fees of KPMG S.p.A., the company in charge of the statutory audit for the period 2020-2028 (Pursuant to Article 13, Paragraph 1, Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010)

Shareholders,

as part of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, you are called upon to resolve on the integration of the fees to be paid to the company KPMG S.p.A. (hereinafter also "KPMG" or "Auditing Firm") for the performance of the statutory audit of the statutory and consolidated financial statements of the company Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. (hereinafter also "Ferragamo" or "Company") for the years 2022-2028.

Pursuant to Article 13(1) of Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010 (hereinafter also referred to as "Legislative Decree 39/2010"), the determination of the fees of the statutory auditing firm is the responsibility of the Shareholders' Meeting "upon the reasoned proposal of the auditing body."

As a reminder, KPMG was appointed as the statutory auditors for the 2020-2028 fiscal years by a resolution of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Ferragamo held on April 18, 2019.

The engagement pertaining to statutory audit services (hereinafter also "Engagement") is governed by the "Proposal for statutory audit services for the nine-year period 2020- 2028 pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 39 of January 27, 2010," submitted by KPMG on December 3, 2018 (hereinafter also "Proposal").

The subject of the Assignment is the performance of statutory audit services, for the period 2020-2028 as outlined below:

  • ◼ Statutory audit of the annual financial statements;
  • ◼ Statutory audit of consolidated financial statements;
  • ◼ Verification that the company's accounts are properly kept and that management events are correctly recorded in the accounting records, pursuant to Article 14, paragraph 1, letter b) of Legislative Decree No. 39/2010;
  • ◼ Check on the consistency of the management report required by Article 14 paragraph 2, (e) of Legislative Decree No. 39/2010 and the information in paragraph 1 (c), (d), (f), (l), m) and paragraph 2 (b) of Article 123 - bis of the TUF with the annual financial statements and the

consolidated financial statements;

◼ Limited audit of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In a letter dated December 21, 2022 and a letter dated February 27, 2023, KPMG (hereinafter also jointly referred to as the "Supplementary Proposal") submitted for the attention of the Company an integration of consideration, with respect to both Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. and its foreign subsidiaries, based on the following:

Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A.

◼ on September 1, 2022, by Determination of the Ministry of Economy and Finance/General Accounting Office of the State, the new international auditing standards were adopted including ISA Standard No. 315 on "Identification

and assessment of the risks of significant errors." The main changes introduced concerned:

  • understanding of the enterprise and the context in which it operates with a focus on the business model, the extent to which that model integrates the use of IT, and the ways in which the enterprise measures its performance;
  • Understanding of the risks inherent in the integrity of the information system (competence of the people doing the work, existence of adequate resources, and existence of appropriate segregation of duties). Understanding of the IT environment (applications, infrastructure, processes, and personnel) and the enterprise's use of IT to arrive at identifying any risks arising from that use;
  • Introduction of a specific list of controls that the auditor is required to identify and perform checks on as to their configuration and implementation;
  • More granular determination of risks, with particular reference to the so-called "inherent risk."
  • ◼ The European Commission, on December 17, 2018, adopted Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 (hereafter "Delegated Regulation") under which issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on an EU regulated market (hereafter "Issuers") are required to:
    • To prepare annual financial reports in XHTML, a format readable by human users;
    • Mark IFRS consolidated financial statements, where prepared, using the XBRL markup language
    • Mark all numbers in a stated currency on the statement of financial position; statement of profit/(loss) for the year and other comprehensive income; statement of changes in equity; and statement of cash flows.
  • ◼ By a Determination of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (State General Accounting Office) dated February 11, 2022, Auditing Standard (SA) Italy 700B, "The Responsibilities of the Statutory Auditor with Respect to Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)," was adopted, effective for audits of financial statements for administrative periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021;
  • ◼ As part of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, some specific audit procedures were agreed upon on the reporting packages of the following subsidiaries: Ferragamo U.K. Limited, Ferragamo Deutschland GmbH, Ferragamo Espana S.L, Ferragamo Retail Nederland B.V., Ferragamo Austria GmbH;
  • ◼ with respect only to the financial statements with a closing date of December 31, 2022, additional procedures were necessary with respect to (i) migration activities on the SAP information system with regard to the subsidiary Ferragamo Mexico S. de R.L. de CV,

(ii) analysis of the new incentive plan aimed at the CEO, (iii) signing of the contract with Farfetch Platform Solution Limited, and finally (iv) renewal of the Advance Price Agreement (APA).

In light of the foregoing, (i) the review and application of the new auditing standards, (ii) the modification of certain audit procedures on the reporting packages of certain subsidiaries, and (iii) the need to prepare annual financial reports in XHTML format and mark IFRS consolidated financial statements using XBRL markup language, will have a material impact on the scope of Ferragamo's statutory audit of its statutory and consolidated financial statements resulting in an increase in the estimated commitments to perform the audit for each of the fiscal years in the period 2022-2028.

Pursuant to section 6.2 "Update and Changes in Fees for the period covered by this engagement letter" of the Proposal, KPMG has, therefore, quantified the

extent of the increase in honorarium related to each of the fiscal years from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2028 in Euro 65,000 (plus Euro 6,600 for non-recurring activities and related only to the year 2022). Specifically, for each of the fiscal years from 2022 to 2028, the details of the additional hours separately for each activity to be carried out are shown below:

TOTAL (2022) 2.673 760 3.433 270.019

Given the originally agreed upon hours and fees, the Auditing Firm in its letter dated February 27, 2023, informs that, starting with the audit activities performed on the financial statements as of December 31, 2022, and for future audit activities related to the years of further term of the Assignment, the hours and fees provided for the performance of the mandatory activities, including the above supplement, will be equal to what is shown in the table below:

The total annual consideration, for Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., is therefore increased from Euro 198,419 to Euro 263,419 as a result of the requested integration. To this amount must be added the ISTAT integration provided for in point 6.2 of the Proposal (amounting to a total of Euro 15,602).

Foreign subsidiaries

  • ◼ Introduction of the new International Standards on Auditing ISA 540 "Review of Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures" and ISA 315 "Identification and Assessment of Significant Misstatement Risks."
  • ◼ Introduction of the international standard called "lnternational Standard on Quality Management 1" (ISQM1), effective as of December 15, 2022, which expressly requires audit firms to acquire/develop and use appropriate technological resources to enable the audit firm's quality management system to be operational and enable the smooth performance of assignments. The adoption of this principle results in significant investment in technological resources with a consequent impact on service costs;
  • ◼ with particular reference to Japan, in addition, the effects of recent changes in labor regulations have significantly impacted the way the audit service is provided. Specifically, the severe restrictions introduced on overtime work have changed behavior and made it necessary to structurally intervene to maintain an adequate level of audit risk oversight.

Pursuant to paragraph 6.2 of "Update and changes in fees for the period covered by this engagement letter" of the Proposal, KPMG has, therefore, quantified the extent of the fee increase relating to each of the fiscal years from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2028 - assuming the same scope of intervention - as 94,569 euros (plus 73,536 euros for inflation and exchange rate effects due to the significant inflationary recovery in substantially all countries of the world). It should also be recalled that the current scope of intervention may be subject to discussion subsequent to the Shareholders' Meeting that will approve the 2022 financial statements, in order to share the outcome that may be applicable as of fiscal year 2023, in order to define an approach that takes into account the relative size of the individual subsidiaries with respect to the Group, the existence of specific risks, and any local regulatory requirements.

That said, for each fiscal year from 2022 to 2028, details of the additional hours separately for each activity to be carried out are given below:

Ferragamo's Chief Financial Officer has provided the Board of Statutory Auditors with his assessments of the Auditor's request and, as a result of them, has represented to the Board of Statutory Auditors that the aforementioned integration of fees - subject to negotiation between the parties in order to contain costs - for Ferragamo's fiscal years 2022-2028 is reasonable due to the following factors:

  • ◼ paragraph 6.2 of the Proposal, "Update and Changes in Fees for the Period Covered by this Engagement Letter," provides that "should circumstances arise that would result in an increase in time, significant changes in the timing of the engagement [...] changes in accounting and/or auditing standards [...] these will be discussed and agreed with you and the Board of Statutory Auditors to formulate, a consequent supplement to the fees [...]."
  • ◼ the number of hours being supplemented appears to be consistent with what is included in the Proposal (including in terms of the mix of professional categories

employed); and

represents a reflection of an appropriate assessment of the increased commitment required of the Auditing Firm;

◼ the valuation of fees, based on the hours subject to integration, appears consistent with the professional hourly rates by category established in the Proposal.

In relation to the request for supplementation of the fees to be paid to KPMG for the additional activities outlined above, taking into account that:

  • ◼ the Approved Statutory Audit Proposal contained a clause to revise time and fees when circumstances arise that would result in increased work time, including for the introduction of new auditing standards;
  • ◼ the quantification of the commitment in terms of hours and the related fees indicated in the Supplementary Proposal refer to recurring activities that will also be carried out in the coming fiscal years, so they will be counted for each of the remaining fiscal years covered by the mandate (2022-2028);
  • ◼ the original engagement letter dated December 3, 2018 remains in effect for anything not expressly covered in the Supplemental Proposal;
  • ◼ In formulating the request for supplementation of the above fees, KPMG has provided appropriate evaluative elements.

Over the past 12 months, the Board of Statutory Auditors has met on numerous occasions both with the auditing firm in order to have more details about the activities to be carried out and the rationale pertaining to the audit process, and with the relevant corporate structures, which have set out their assessments of the integration request and the reasonableness of its contents.

As a result of the above activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors, having noted and shared the assessments of the Company's Chief Financial Officer, on the basis of the considerations made and the verifications conducted, finds that the request for the integration of audit activities is consistent with the statutory audit process under the Assignment, adequate in view of the new audit activities related to the events listed above, congruous in relation to the professional commitment required as well as aligned with the conditions already in place.

That being said, the Board of Statutory Auditors submits for your approval, in the terms stated above, the proposal for supplementation of fees formulated by KPMG on December 21, 2022 and February 27, 2023, as per the following proposed resolution:

* * *

"The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A:
