ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

CLARIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE ISSUANCE MANDATE

Reference is made to the notice of annual general meeting (the "Annual General Meeting") of Samsonite International S.A. (the "Company") and the circular (the "Circular") to the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") each dated April 14, 2022. The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Thursday, June 2, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (CET)/4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time). Terms defined in the Circular shall have the same meanings in this announcement.

As disclosed in the Circular, in order to give the Company the flexibility to issue new Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of a general mandate (the "Issuance Mandate") to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of the Annual General Meeting for cash consideration, provided that the issue price for such new Shares is at a discount of not more than 10% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares (the "Maximum 10% Discount").

The Issuance Mandate permits the Company to issue new Shares for both cash consideration and non-consideration. The Company wishes to clarify that if the Company issues any new Shares pursuant to the Issuance Mandate for non-cash consideration, it would also apply the same Maximum 10% Discount in determining the issue price for such new Shares. Shareholders should refer to the Circular for further details of the Issuance Mandate.

As noted in the Circular, due to the current COVID-19 situation, the Annual General Meeting will be held without holding a physical meeting as permitted under the Luxembourg Covid-19 Law. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their right to vote at the Annual General Meeting by appointing the chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy. Further details relating to the arrangements for the Annual General Meeting are set out in the Circular.
