Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Cimpress N.V. (the “Company”) values having the flexibility to allocate capital to what it believes to be attractive investments and seeks to maintain disciplined return requirements for its potential uses of capital, including mergers and acquisitions, organic investment and share repurchases, consistent with its communicated capital allocation philosophy. The Company’s financial policy has recently evolved, as the Company is now a far more diverse company across many dimensions including customer segments, geographies, product categories, brands, and customer acquisition channels than when it established its financial policy four years ago. Under this revised policy, the Company no longer has a specified leverage target and, as has been demonstrated during the last two fiscal years, is willing to take leverage up for the right investments, and bring leverage down when such opportunities are not available or other constraints exist. Leverage will continue to be guided by the Company's capital allocation opportunities and balanced by its debt guardrails and desire for building capacity for future opportunities.
The information in this Item 7.01 is not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor is it incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
