The following communication was sent to employees of Capri Holdings Limited on September 15, 2023:

tapestry CAPRI Dear Capri Team, A month ago, we announced Tapestry’s planned acquisit ion of Capri. By uniting our six, complementary and differentiated brands, we will create a new, powerful house of global iconic luxury and fashion brands. We know there are a lot of questions about what happens next. To ensure transparent communication throughout this process, we are committed to providing monthly updates until the deal closes—what we refer to as ‘Day 1’—through this new series called ‘Integration Information.’ Getting Started on Integration Planning While we must continue to operate as two separate companies until the deal closes, anticipated sometime in calendar 2024, we can begin planning for how we will operate as one company post Day 1. We have set up a joint Integration Management Office (IMO) which includes leaders from Tapestry and Capri who are planning for an effective Day 1. Last week, our respective CEOs, Joanne Crevoiserat and John Idol, met with the IMO and workstream senior leaders along with our consulting partner EY, for the first time to officially kick-off our integration work. During the meeting, the CEOs reiterated their commitment to doing it right by ensuring we bring together the best-in-class people and practices from both organizations. What is Integration Planning? Integration planning is about preparing us for operating as one company. The IMO is made up of various workstreams from back-office areas of the business- such as HR, IT, Finance and Legal, to name a few- that are focused on the tools, processes, and operations we’ll need in place for Day 1.

Right now, we’re focused on information sharing to understand how we work similarly, and the ways in which we’ll continue to work differently. While the IMO’s immediate focus is getting us set up for success on Day 1, the work to integrate our two companies is expected to be a multi-year journey. We understand there are questions around job security and how the organizational structure will change. What we know today is that on Day 1, all employees will understand who they report to, ultimately rolling up to Tapestry CEO, Joanne Crevoiserat. As we move through the integration roadmap, the workstreams will identify how the organization should evolve to reflect the best of both companies. Our goal is to be thoughtful about how we define the future organization, while maintaining the unique DNA of our six brands. This will be an on-going process, extending beyond Day 1. Integration Guiding Principles We know Tapestry and Capri may sometimes work in different ways. To guide us as we work on integration planning, we stand by five important principles: 1. Protect Employee and Customer Experience: Rigorously manage the impact of integration activities on individuals’ experiences and escalate issues quickly. 2. Do No Harm to Brand Operations: Safeguard brands’ “Business as Usual” operations, ensuring protection of brand value and brand DNA. 3. Address The ‘Must Haves’ First: Focus on ‘must have’ items pre-close and ensure that Day 1 is clear before exploring longer-term decisions. 4. Be Open to Improving Operations Regardless of Where They Come From: Bring together great ideas from both organizations. 5. Prioritize Integration Activities Based on Value Creation: Do not integrate for the sake of integrating; drive actions with the most tangible value creation. Power ofour People The IMO is led by Debbie Meyer, SVP, Business Integration at Tapestry, and Tom Edwards, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer at Capri. Get to know them below: Prior to being appointed Head of Integration, Debbie led Tapestry’s Transformation Management Office, where she was responsible for driving the Acceleration Program, a multi-year initiative to drive profitable growth across Tapestry’s brands. From 2016-2019, Debbie served as the business lead for Tapestry’s SAP S/4 Implementation. Debbie was the CFO of Stuart Weitzman from 2015-2016 and prior to that, held a variety of roles within Coach finance. Debbie’s deep knowledge of the organization and the way Tapestry works will be invaluable as she and the other members of the IMO lead this integration journey.
