In case the Offeror intends to transfer its shares of the Company to a third party (also in cases of permitted transfers referred to in Paragraph 4.2.6 below), it will be necessary for DIVI to give its prior written approval to such transfer in the event that, on the date on which the Offeror notified its intention to transfer its shares, the third party transferee:

• (a) is (or is an affiliate of a person who is) a competitor of the Issuer as identified in the Shareholders' Agreement;
• (b) is (or is an affiliate of an entity that is) (i) included in the lists of entities and/or natural persons subject to the application of sanctions (⁵ ), (ii) resident or domiciled, or has its registered office (in case of a legal entity) in any sanctioned country or (iii) otherwise subject to the application of sanctions;
• (c) has (or is an affiliate of a person who has) violated or has been charged with or convicted or investigated for potential violations of human rights or any anti-money laundering or anti-bribery or anti-corruption law (each of the persons referred to in (a), (b) and (c) above, a 'Prohibited Transferee').

This approval right of DIVI will not apply with respect to transfers of shares by the Offeror to third parties made as a result of the exercise of the tag-along right or the drag-along referred to in Sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 below.

^{( 5}) "Sanctions" means, for the purposes of the Shareholders' Agreement, any laws relating to economic and financial sanctions and/or export control restrictions adopted by the United Nations, the European Union and/or the United States of America.

4.2.4 Tag-along right

In the event that, upon the expiry of the Lock-up Period:

• (a) DIVI intends to transfer its Tod's shares to a third party, each of the Offeror and Minority Shareholder shall have the right to sell, on the same terms and conditions (subject to the provisions specified below in respect of Minority Shareholder) and to the same potential transferee as DIVI, a percentage of shares proportional to that which DIVI intends to transfer. Where DIVI intends to transfer to a third party a number of shares in the company such that, as a result of such transfer, DIVI would cease to hold 50% of Tod's share capital plus one share, Minority Shareholder shall have the right to transfer to the third party purchaser all the shares held by the latter.
• (b) the Offeror intends to transfer its Tod's shares to a third party, Minority Shareholder will have the right to sell, on the same terms and conditions and to the same potential transferee as the Offeror, a percentage of shares proportional to that which the Offeror intends to transfer.

In the event that, following the exercise of the tag-along right by one of the above-mentioned parties, the potential transferee does not wish to proceed with the purchase of the shares, DIVI or BidCo, as the case may be, may, at its own discretion (i) purchase the shares of the party that exercised the right in lieu of the potential transferee; or (ii) reduce the number of shares to be transferred to the third party in light of the number of shares that the third party has made itself available to purchase, so as to allow the party that exercised the tag-along right to transfer a number of shares redetermined in proportion to the number of shares transferred by DIVI or BidCo, as the case may be, by giving appropriate notice to the party that exercised the tag-along right. In case (ii) above, the party having exercised the tag-along right may decide not to complete the transfer of its shares to the transferee by giving written notice thereof to the transferring party within ten business days of receipt of the notice under point (ii).

4.2.5 Drag- along right

In the event that, upon the expiry of the Lock-up Period, DIVI intends to transfer its Tod's shares to a third party having received a purchase offer for all the shares of the Company held by the latter, DIVI will be entitled to exercise a right of drag-along, i.e. it will be entitled to cause the Offeror and Minority Shareholder to transfer to the potential purchaser all the shares respectively held by each of them on equal terms, provided that the transfer price of the shares is paid in immediately available funds or in listed financial instruments and it is at least equal to the higher of (i) the fair market value of the shares determined as set out in the Shareholders' Agreement and (ii) an amount which allows the Offeror and Minority Shareholder to obtain a certain minimum return (as identified in the Shareholders' Agreement).
