SECTION I—GENERAL INFORMATION AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

I. INTRODUCTION

The group of companies controlled by Luxottica Group S.p.A. (hereinafter "Luxottica Group" or the "Group"), one of the major global companies in the eyewear sector, implements its business strategies through the presence of subsidiary companies in the various countries in which it operates. The Group is a leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of fashion, luxury, sports and performance eyewear. Its global wholesale organization covers more than 150 countries and is complemented by an extensive retail network of approximately 8,000 stores mostly located in North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Product design, development and manufacturing take place in six production facilities in Italy, three in the People's Republic of China, one in India, one in Brazil and one in the United States devoted to sports and performance eyewear.

Luxottica is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and on the Telematic Stock Exchange organized and managed by Borsa Italiana ("MTA") and complies with the provisions of U.S. and Italian law for listed companies, as well as with the provisions issued both by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Committee ("SEC") and the Italian Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa ("CONSOB"). As a result of its being listed in the United States, the Company is subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"), which influence its governance structure with regard to internal controls. Luxottica, the parent company of the Group, manages and coordinates its subsidiary companies, acting in the interest of the Luxottica Group as a whole.

The main instruments for implementing unified management of the subsidiary companies are represented by:

•: preparation of Group industrial and commercial plans;
•: preparation of budgets and the assignment of objectives and projects;
•: forecasting of adequate information flows for management and control;
•: review and approval of extraordinary or particularly significant operations;
•: preparation of certain financial policies (for example, the definition of indebtedness and cash investment or cash equivalent investment criteria);
•: establishment of central structures to provide professional services and support to all the companies belonging to the Group;
•: adoption of codes of conduct and procedures binding on the entire Group;
•: adoption of common organization models; and
•: formulation of guidelines on the composition, operation and role of the board of directors of the subsidiary companies as well as on the assignment of management responsibilities in the subsidiary companies, consistent with those adopted by the parent company.

The Italian subsidiary companies have acknowledged Luxottica as the company that exercises the activities of management and coordination pursuant to art. 2497et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.

The principles on which the corporate governance system of the parent company is founded are also applicable to all the companies belonging to the entire Luxottica Group, namely:

1): defined, acknowledged and shared values, which are set out in the Code of Ethics;
2): the central role of the Board of Directors;
3): the effectiveness and transparency of management decisions;

4): the adoption of an adequate internal control system;
5): the adoption of proper and transparent rules regarding transactions carried out by related parties and the processing of confidential information;
6): a proactive risk management system; and
7): a remuneration and general incentive system for managers linked to the creation of sustainable value over time.

The corporate governance system is established in compliance with the regulations of Borsa Italiana, CONSOB, SEC and NYSE, according to the highest standards of corporate governance.

The values established in the Code of Ethics of Luxottica Group bind all employees to ensure that the activities of the Group are performed in compliance with applicable law, in the context of fair competition, with honesty, integrity and fairness, respecting the legitimate interests of stockholders, employees, clients, suppliers, business and financial partners, as well as of the societies of the countries in which the Luxottica Group operates.

II. STRUCTURE OF LUXOTTICA AND INFORMATION ON THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE PURSUANT TO ART. 123-BIS of Italian Consolidated Financial Law

The Luxottica governance system—based on a traditional management and control system—is characterized by the presence of:

•: a board of directors ("Board of Directors" or "Board"), responsible for the management of the Company;
•: a board of statutory auditors ("Board of Statutory Auditors"), responsible for supervising: (i) compliance with applicable law and with the Company's by-laws; (ii) compliance with the principles of correct administration; (iii) the adequacy of the organizational structure, the internal control system and the accounting management system, as well as its reliability to correctly report the affairs of the Company; (iv) the procedures to implement the corporate governance rules provided for by the codes of conduct compiled by organizations managing regulated markets or by trade associations, with which the Company declares to comply by making a public announcement; (v) the adequacy of the regulations given by the Company to the subsidiary companies pursuant to art. 114, paragraph 2 of the Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 (hereinafter also the "Italian Consolidated Financial Law"); and, according to the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39/2010; (vi) on statutory audits, the process of collecting financial information, the effectiveness of the internal auditing and management risk system, the auditing of accounts and the independence of the statutory auditor. The Luxottica Group Board of Statutory Auditors also acts as the Audit Committee pursuant to SOX;
•: the meeting of stockholders ("Meeting of Stockholders"), which has the power to vote—both in ordinary and extraordinary meetings—among other things, upon (i) the appointment and removal of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors and their remuneration, (ii) the approval of the annual financial statements and the allocation of profits, (iii) amendments to the Company's by-laws; (iv) the appointment of the function responsible for the statutory auditing of accounts, upon the recommendation of the Board of Statutory Auditors; (v) adoption of equity incentive plans.

The task of auditing is assigned to an audit firm ("Audit Firm") listed on the special CONSOB register and appointed by the Meeting of Stockholders.

The powers and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, of the Board of Statutory Auditors, of the Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders and of the Audit Committee are illustrated more in detail later in the Report.

The Company's share capital is made up exclusively of ordinary, fully paid-up voting shares, entitled to voting rights both at the ordinary and extraordinary meeting of stockholders. As at January 31, 2017 the share capital was Euro 29,055,874.98, made up of 484,264,583 shares each with a nominal value of Euro 0.06.

There are no restrictions on the transfer of shares. No shares have special controlling rights. There is no employee shareholding scheme.

The Company's stockholders with an equity holding greater than 3% of Luxottica's share capital are stated below, and it is specified that, in the absence of a more recent direct announcement to the Company, the percentage communicated to CONSOB, pursuant to article 120 of the Italian Consolidated Financial Law, is given:

—: Delfin S.à.r.l., with 62.537% of the share capital as at January 31, 2017;
—: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, with 5.644% of the share capital as at January 31, 2017; the shares held by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas represent ordinary shares that are traded in the U.S. financial market through issuance by the Bank of a corresponding number of American Depositary Shares; these ordinary shares are deposited at Deutsche Bank S.p.A., which in turn issues the certificates entitling the holders to participate and vote in the meetings.
—: Giorgio Armani, with 4.955%, of which 2.947% is held in the form of ADRs at Deutsche Bank and therefore included in Deutsche Bank's shareholding; it is specified that these percentages correspond to the last filing made on March 30, 2006, and are equal to 4.692% and 2.791% respectively of the share capital as at January 31, 2017, assuming that the number of shares held is unchanged.

The Chairman Leonardo Del Vecchio controls Delfin S.à r.l.

The Company is not subject to management and control as defined in the Italian Civil Code. The Board of Directors made its last assessment in this regard on January 30, 2017 and confirmed that the presumption indicated in article 2497-sexies of the Italian Civil Code was also overcome this year, similar to previous years. This is because Delfin S.à r.l. ("the parent holding company") acts as a holding company and from an operational and business perspective there is no common managing interest with Luxottica nor with the other affiliates of Luxottica. In particular, in the aforesaid Board meeting it was deemed that no management and coordination activities on the part of the parent holding company existed as: (a) the parent holding company does not prepare and approve industrial, financial and strategic plans nor does it approve the budgets that are to be implemented by Luxottica; (b) the parent holding company is not involved in the definition of business or market strategies aimed at any subsidiary company; (c) no directives or instructions on financial or credit matters are issued to Luxottica, or regarding the choice of contracting parties or extraordinary transactions; (d) the parent holding company is not required to approve investment transactions of the subsidiary company Luxottica in advance; or (e) there are no policies or regulations that are "imposed" on any subsidiary by the parent holding company. It was also observed that the Chairman is the only common director of the parent holding company and the Company, and this circumstance, although undoubtedly significant, is not such as to integrate a form of direction in the management of the Company.

Information on the stock option plans, the share capital increases approved by stockholders and reserved to stock option plans, and the performance share plans assigned to employees is available in the annual financial report, in the documents prepared pursuant to article 84-bis of the Regulations for

Issuers, available on the Company's website in the Governance/Compensation section and in the Report on Remuneration prepared in accordance with 123-ter of Italian Consolidated Financial Law.

Role and duties

The Board of Directors plays a central role in Luxottica's corporate governance.

It is responsible for the management of the Company, with the objective of maximizing value for stockholders in the medium to long-term.

To this end, the Board passes resolutions on actions necessary to achieve the Company's business purpose, except for those matters which, under applicable law or the Company by-laws, are expressly reserved for the Meeting of Stockholders.

Pursuant to art. 23, paragraph 5, of the Company by-laws, the Board of Directors is solely responsible for passing resolutions on the following matters:

With reference to the last item above, the Board of Directors resolved that in any case the following are to be deemed to be of a strategic nature:

(i): the agreements and decisions with a value exceeding 30 (thirty) million euros, intended as a unit amount (or aggregate amount in the case of transactions of the same nature or with a similar subject), concluded within the same context, also by other companies of the Group and/or with different counterparties, with the exception of the following transactions, even if they exceed the threshold of 30 million euros (so-called "Over-Threshold Transactions"): intra-group transactions; the purchase of raw materials, semi-finished products and manufacturing components; supply and distribution agreements for glasses; the payment of overdue debts for tax, salaries, dividends or interim dividends allocated for distribution, bonds and other loans;
(ii): the agreements and decisions concerning the acquisition or disposal, temporary or permanent, or the availability of trademark rights, be they owned or licensed, exclusive or non-exclusive, regardless of the value of the transaction (and therefore even if less than the limit referred to in the previous point), with the exception of inter-group transactions, merchandising agreements and agreements for the manufacture of goods and services directly used by the Company and/or its subsidiaries;

Subject to the concurrent competence of the extraordinary meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall also have authority over resolutions in connection with mergers and demergers in accordance with Articles 2505 and 2505-bis and 2506-ter of the Civil Code, the establishment or termination of branches, the determination of which directors shall be entrusted with the power of representing the Company, the reduction of the outstanding capital stock in the event of withdrawal of a stockholder, the amendment of the by-laws to comply with legal requirements, and the transfer of the principal place of business within Italian territory.

The Board of Directors approves the strategic plan of the Group, monitoring its implementation, as well as the budget.

The Board of Directors annually assesses the adequacy of the organizational, administrative and accounting structure of Luxottica and of the strategically relevant subsidiary companies through the examination of a report prepared each fiscal year, as well as the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the Company's governance system also in connection with the Group structure.

The Board, upon the review of the Control and Risk Committee, is responsible for the definition of the guidelines for the internal control and risk management system in order to identify, measure, manage and monitor the main risks concerning the Company and its subsidiaries, defining the risk level that is compatible with the strategic objectives of the Company.

The Board of Directors grants and revokes managing powers, defining their limits and conditions of exercise. For a more detailed description of the existing managing powers as well as the frequency with which the executive bodies must report to the Board on the activities performed in exercising such powers, please refer to the sub-section entitled Executive Directors of this Section II.

The Board of Directors evaluates the general performance of the Company, paying particular attention to the information received from the executive bodies and by the Control and Risk Committee, periodically comparing the results achieved with the forecast data within their area of responsibility.

In particular, the Board carries out its assessments taking into account the information supplied by the executive bodies, which, on the basis of the guidelines issued by the Board, supervise all business structures and formulate proposals to be submitted to the Board with regard to the organizational structure of the Company and of the Group, the general development and investment plans, the financial plans and provisional financial statements as well as any other matter submitted to them by the Board itself.

The Directors report to the full Board and to the Board of Statutory Auditors on the transactions in which they hold an interest on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties. Each Director is responsible for reporting to the Board and to the Board of Statutory Auditors any such interest in a transaction.

For detailed information on the procedure for the approval of transactions with related parties, please refer to the relevant paragraph of this section.

The members of the Board of Directors are called to carry out an annual evaluation on the composition, role and performance of the Board and the Committees by filling out a special questionnaire. For the assessment conducted for the 2016 fiscal year and similar to the prior year, the Company made use of the support of an independent expert, Prof. Alessandro Minichilli, associate professor in the Management and Technology faculty of the Università Bocconi, with whom Luxottica has not previously had any professional or business dealings.

The questionnaire, reviewed by all the Directors, is made up of specific questions that concern, among others: the adequacy of the number of its members and of the composition of the Board and of its Committees, the type of professionals represented in the Board and its Committees, the planning, organization, duration and number of meetings, the adequacy of documents sent before the meetings,

the information provided to the non-executive directors during the meetings, the efficiency and effectiveness of the decision-making processes, and the role and contribution of the Board committees. In order to render the self-assessment process useful for the overall improvement of the efficiency of the Board, ample space was also left this year to the qualitative assessments and suggestions of the individual Directors.

The results of the self-assessment were presented to the Board of Directors in the meeting held on March 1, 2017 by the Lead Independent Director, who anonymously reported on the opinions put forward by the Directors and the suggestions made to improve the running of the management bodies of the Company, distinguishing the assessments of Executive Directors from the assessments of Non-Executive Directors.

During fiscal year 2016 the Board of Directors of Luxottica met six times—the record of attendance of the individual Directors listed in the table at the end of this Report and the average length of the meetings was approximately two and a half hours.

Where the Chairman deemed it appropriate to deal in greater depth with certain items on the agenda, senior managers of the Company were invited to participate in the Board meetings to discuss these items.

In particular, during the fiscal year, the Chief Financial Officer, the Group Internal Audit Director, the Head of Legal Affairs and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board were invited to attend the meetings for the subjects regarding their respective areas of competence.

The Board of Directors is convened with a notice period of at least three days; in an emergency this time may be reduced to one day.

The Board of Directors formally determined that the suitable notice period for sending supporting information documents is two days before each meeting. Throughout 2016 the relevant documents and information enabling the Board to make informed decisions were provided by the Directors with an average of three days' advance notice of the meetings.

In October 2016, one induction session was held attended by Directors, Statutory Auditors and several top management representatives, aimed at encouraging the Directors to continuously update their knowledge of the business operations and dynamics of the Group. The meeting focused, in particular, on the strategies of the Group and the related risk management activities carried out to support these strategies.

In December 2016, the Company issued the calendar of corporate events for the 2017 fiscal year, which is available on the website: www.luxottica.com. During the period from January 1 through March 1, 2017 inclusive the Board of Directors met three times.

Limitations to the accumulation of positions

To assess the maximum number of positions a Director may hold as a director or an auditor in other companies listed on regulated markets, in financial companies, banks, insurance companies or other companies of a significant size that is compatible with the office of Director at Luxottica, the Board of Directors confirmed the following criteria at the Board meeting held on April 24, 2015:

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF APPOINTMENTS AS DIRECTOR OR AUDITOR IN OTHER COMPANIES



		Listed companies, financial companies, banks, insurance companies or companies of a significant size

Executive role		3 + LUXOTTICA
Non-executive role		9 + LUXOTTICA

For the purpose of multiple appointments, (i) the only positions to be taken into consideration are those as member of the board of directors or auditor for companies listed on regulated markets (domestic and foreign), in banks, insurance companies, or companies of a significant size, which are defined as companies with a total value of business or revenues exceeding Euro 1,000 million (hereinafter, "Large Companies"), (ii) the appointments by one or more Large Companies belonging to the same group, including Luxottica Group, are counted as one, whereby the appointment requiring the most significant commitment (i.e. the executive role) shall be considered the prevailing one.

The appointments held by the members of the Board of Directors in other companies, in compliance with the criteria indicated above, are compatible with the appointment at Luxottica Group S.p.A.

The members of the Board of Directors possess the required professionalism and experience to perform their roles effectively and efficiently. In particular, it is guaranteed that they possess adequate experience in the business sector in which the Company operates, as well as specific managerial, financial, legal and internal control skills.

II. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Information on the internal control and risk management system of the Group is provided below and also pursuant to art. 123-bis, paragraph 2, letter b, of Italian Consolidated Financial Law.

Definitions and Objectives:

Luxottica believes in the importance of developing an internal control culture and management of risk that promotes the undertaking of informed decisions and contributes to the safeguarding of company assets, the efficiency and effectiveness of company processes, the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations, as well as with company by-laws and internal procedures.

The internal control system over financial reporting and risk management ("ICFR System") consists of tools, organizational structures and procedures for each area of activity, which are set forth in the manuals updated and distributed within the Group and which are aimed at contributing to the fair management of the Company in line with predetermined objectives.

The ICFR system, which is integrated into more general organizational structures and the corporate governance of the Company and the Group, is aimed at enabling the Group's primary risks to be identified, measured, managed and monitored, as well as ensuring that financial reporting is reliable, accurate and disclosure is made promptly. Luxottica is aware that the efforts made to define an efficient internal control system, capable of ensuring complete, accurate and correct financial reporting, do not represent a one off activity but rather a dynamic process that must be renewed and adapted to the evolution of the business, of the socioeconomic environment and of the regulatory framework.

According to the provisions of the Code of Ethics of Luxottica, each recipient of internal control procedures must cooperate fully with the internal functions and the external bodies appointed to check the efficiency of the ICFR System.

Best practice principles of the Group

The structure of the ICFR System of Luxottica Group, which monitors the preparation and disclosure of financial reporting, is consistent with national best practices, such as the guidelines of Confindustria and the principles of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies, and international best practices, such as the COSO (Committee Of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) Internal Control—Integrated Framework and the COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) of ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association).

Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)

Adjustment to the provisions of SOX is compulsory for Luxottica Group since it is listed on the NYSE, and therefore it has represented and represents a significant motivation for the Group to continually improve its ICFR System.

In particular, in the process of adjusting to SOX, Luxottica intended not only to comply with a regulation but has also taken a real opportunity to improve its administrative and financial governance and the quality of its internal control system in order to make it more systematic, consistently monitored and methodologically better defined and documented.

Main features of the internal control and risk management system in relation to the financial reporting process

System Structure and Phases

(I) Structure and Phases

As mentioned above, the structure of the ICFR System was defined consistently with the model provided by the COSOInternal Control—Integrated Framework (the so-called "COSO Report"), which establishes 5 components:

a): control environment inside the organization (Internal Environment);
b): assessment of the risks that could compromise the achievement of corporate goals (Risk Assessment);
c): control activities for the reduction of risks (Control Activities);
d): the information system represented by the exchange of information between top management and operating staff (Information and Communication);
e): monitoring activities over time of the quality and results of internal controls (Monitoring Activities).

Following its revision in 2013, the COSO Report introduced a total of 17 principles that make up the fundamental elements of each of the 5 components of the model with the aim of creating an efficient internal control system.

In particular, in compliance with the ICFR System:

(i) for the most important companies of the Group (so-called Material Control Units) controls were designed and their effectiveness was assessed both at general/cross level (entity level controls) and at the level of each operational/administrative process;

(ii) for the smaller companies, which were however still significant, especially when considered in the aggregate (so-called Material When Aggregated), the assessment was performed on the general effectiveness level of the control system.

Anti-fraud Programs & Controls

Among the cross level controls, the controls to reduce the risk of fraud are particularly important. To this end, Luxottica has developed Anti-Fraud Programs & Controls derived from an in-depth risk assessment which, after mapping the possible ways in which fraud could be committed, defined the necessary controls to reduce the risk of fraud and/or allowing its identification. This "anti-fraud" system is constantly updated and improved.

Enterprise Risk Management

With regard corporate risk management, since 2011 an Enterprise Risk Management process has been implemented based on the following features and in line with the models and best practices recognized internationally:

(i): the definition of a Risk Model for the Group, which classifies in 3 risk factors, those that may compromise the attainment of corporate objectives and/or affect the value of the tangible or intangible assets of the Group (strategic, contextual, external and operative);
(ii): the development of a risk assessment and risk analysis methodology to measure exposures in terms of impact and probability of occurrence; and

(iii): the collection, analysis and aggregation of data and information necessary for processing a Risk Report for the Group directed to the top management of the company.

In 2016, with particular reference to strategic risk, an analysis of the main risk factors and opportunities that could significantly influence the achievement of the financial targets of the Group was conducted, working in concert with the main business areas.

With reference to operating risk, activities aimed at the mitigation of the latter continue, with the aim of reducing and/or transferring the risks identified. These activities, depending on the circumstances, are the direct responsibility of the Risk Management department and/or the Managers of the various businesses. The Control and Risk Committee is regularly updated on developments in the Group Enterprise Risk Management program as well as on the results of analysis and actions taken.

Compliance

With reference to compliance, in 2011 a specific program aimed at the mapping of all of the most relevant areas for the Group and gaining an understanding of the level of maturity and protection of processes was set up. On the basis of this program, specific compliance initiatives focused on Corporate Criminal Liability/Anti-Corruption, Privacy Data Management, Responsible Sourcing/Supply Chain Compliance and Antitrust & Competition Compliance were scoped, defined and developed over the two subsequent years.

In 2016, special attention was focused on the design of the processes necessary to guarantee compliance with privacy issues.

(II) Control, management and analysis of financial risk

Within the context of the risk factors mentioned in the previous paragraph, the Enterprise Risk Management process paid particular attention to financial risk.

In order to deal with the developments in operating conditions and the legal framework, the Company implemented two policies that define the rules and principles to (i) identify; (ii) monitor; and (iii) analyze financial risk.

Financial Risk Management Policy:

Introduced in 2006, the Financial Risk Management Policy, was most recently updated by the Board of Directors in January 2016, given the new structure of the ICFR System.

The policy sets forth the principles and rules for the management and monitoring of financial risk and pays particular attention to the activities carried out by the Luxottica Group to minimize the risks deriving from the fluctuations of interest rates, exchange rates and the solvency of financial counterparties.

The policy clarifies that the instrument used for "interest rate risk" hedging is the plain vanilla "interest rate swaps", whereas for "exchange risk" "non-speculative" derivative instruments, such as "spot and forward exchange contracts" are used. In certain circumstances and subject to the specific authorization of the CFO, more flexible instruments that replicate the effect of the forward exchange contract or "zero cost collar", "accumulator forward" and "average strike forward" can be used.

The use of derivative instruments is aimed only at the actual hedging of exchange risk and interest rates that the group is exposed to, therefore the use of these instruments for speculative purposes is not

permitted. In addition to the goal of reducing counterparty risk, the policy specifies the minimum criteria to be met in order to be able to transact with the Group. This guideline includes:

(i): the obligation to operate with qualified banking counterparties through standard agreements (ISDA Master Agreement);
(ii): a limit on exposure per individual counterparty and a limit on the total exposure of the Group,
(iii): the fixing of the minimum credit credential requirements for the counterparties authorized to engage in derivative transactions.

A quarterly reporting system has also been implemented for the Control and Risk Committee since 2007 to highlight the debt exposure and the hedging transactions implemented to minimize "interest rate" risk, "exchange rate" risk and, since 2011, "counterparty risk".

Credit Policy

This is another operational and control policy that has been implemented for some time and is applicable to all the wholesale companies of Luxottica Group. It was recently updated in February 2015.

This policy defines the rules and responsibilities for the management and control of credit in order to prevent financial risk, optimize credit controls, monitor developments and reduce losses on credit exposure. In particular, this policy sets the guidelines for the following activities:

•: apportionment, control and authorization of credit lines;
•: monitoring of credit trends;
•: soliciting unpaid/expired credits;
•: management and monitoring of legal actions;
•: management and monitoring of the appropriations and losses on credits;
•: determination and monitoring of terms of payment in the various markets; and
•: monitoring over warranty terms.

(III) Objectives of the system

The objectives of the ICFR system have been defined consistently within the guidelines of SOX regulations, which differentiate between the following two components:

(i): controls and procedures to comply with the disclosure obligations related to the consolidated financial statements and the Form 20-F (Disclosure controls and procedures—DC&P).

The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the financial information is adequately collected and communicated to the Group's Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer of Product and Operations (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), so that they may make appropriate and timely decisions about the information to be disclosed to the market.

(ii): internal control system that supervises the preparation of the financial statements (Internal Control Over Financial Reporting—ICFR).

The internal control system that supervises the preparation of the financial statements has the objective of ensuring the reliability of the financial information in accordance with relevant accounting principles.

In addition to defining and testing the internal ICFR system in compliance with SOX requirements, Luxottica has also identified the necessary actions to ensure its optimal functioning over time.

(IV) ICFR Monitoring and Updates

The entire ICFR System must, in turn, be monitored at two levels:

(i): by line management, supervising the significant processes; and
(ii): by the Internal Audit department, which independently and according to an approved intervention plan must check the effectiveness of the controls and report on them to the relevant functions and bodies.

Furthermore, as a result of a comparison with other companies listed on the NYSE, the designed control system is subject to continuous improvements. Since 2007, on the basis of experience gained internally, independent evaluations by Group's external auditors and the introduction of audit standard no. 5 adopted by the PCAOB (Public Company Accounting Oversight Board), a process for the evaluation and rationalization of the controls is in place, which allows the Company, on the one hand, to eliminate any redundant controls that burden operations without offering a real benefit in terms of strengthening the ICFR System and, on the other hand, to define and better protect the key controls and monitoring controls. This process is performed for all of the most important companies of the Group.

Roles and Functions involved

In compliance with the provisions of art. 2381 of the Italian Civil Code, on the basis of the information received by the executive bodies responsible for ensuring that the organizational, administrative and accounting structure is suitable to the nature and size of the business, the Board of Directors establishes guidelines for the ICFR System and assesses their adequacy so that the major risks for the Group may be correctly identified and monitored, checking that they are also in line with the strategic objectives of Luxottica.

To this end, the Board consults with the Control and Risk Committee, personnel within the Risk Management and Compliance organization, the Manager of the Internal Audit department and the Supervisory Board on the Organizational Model provided for by Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001.

The foregoing is without prejudice to the supervisory and control duties, which are by law reserved to the Board of Statutory Auditors, while auditing duties are assigned to an external auditing firm in accordance with Italian regulations.

In 2010, the Chief Risk & Compliance function of the Group was established, reporting directly to the Group's Chief Executive Officer, and was responsible for (i) guaranteeing an efficient system to control and protect against the risks linked to the business in which the Group operates; as well as (ii) the monitoring of the correct performance of corporate transactions in compliance with the core values of the Code of Ethics and the various regulatory restrictions, ensuring the necessary supervision and management of compliance-related operations. This role was entrusted to Mr. Stefano Orsini, Chief Risk Compliance and Asset Protection Officer, on January 1, 2014, with the implementation of the new governance model and it was established that the function was to report directly to the CEO for Product and Operations.

In line with the recent directives contained in the Code of Conduct of Borsa Italiana, the Chief Risk, Compliance and Asset Protection Officer provides the Board of Directors with all the necessary information for the identification of the risks that the companies of the Group are exposed to and the impact thereof, so that the coherence between these risks and the strategic objectives of the Group can be assessed. Since its establishment in 2010, the Risk Management, Compliance and Asset Protection Function has consolidated its organizational structure and has adopted the appropriate tools and working methods in line with the best practices recognized at national and international levels.

In brief, the ICFR System, as a whole, currently involves the corporate roles, described below:

•: Directors in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System
•: Control and Risk Committee
•: Internal Audit Manager
•: Organizational System pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 dated June 8, 2001
•: Board of Statutory Auditors
•: External Audit Firm
•: Manager responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial reports

Directors in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System

On January 29, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Leonardo Del Vecchio as Executive Chairman and confirmed Mr. Massimo Vian as CEO for Product and Operations, heads respectively of the Markets Division and the Product and Operations Division, identifying each of them as Directors in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System of their respective areas of competence, with the roles and tasks indicated in principle 7.C.4. of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies.

Within this context respective powers of management and representation of the Executive Chairman and the CEO for Product and Operations are exercised in relation to the overall management of the business of the Group, for both the Parent Company Group Luxottica Group S.p.A. and as related to subsidiary companies of the Group. The decisions set forth by law and the company by-laws are reserved for the Board of Directors of Luxottica Group S.p.A., with particular regard to strategic decisions.

In particular, starting from January 2016, the Executive Chairman and the CEO for Product and Operations are granted the following powers: (i) autonomous and exclusive powers in their respective areas of competence (with adequate reporting, which, in any case, will be provided to the Executive Chairman by the CEO for Product and Operations); (ii) separate powers, with the obligation to provide information, in the shared divisions; and (iii) joint powers, for several important decisions. The Executive Chairman and the CEO for Product and Operations are obliged—separately in their exclusive areas of competence and jointly in the Shared Divisions—to implement the guidelines set by the Board of Directors, identifying the main risks to the Company, by planning, implementing and managing the ICFR System, and regularly assessing its overall adequacy, efficiency and effectiveness. They are also responsible for the adjustment of the aforesaid system to the changes in the operational conditions and of the legal and regulatory framework through the support of the relevant corporate structures.

The Control and Risk Committee

On April 24, 2015, the Board of Directors appointed the Control and Risk Committee, composed by independent directors Ms. Elisabetta Magistretti, Chairperson, Mr. Luciano Santel and Ms. Cristina Scocchia, all with experience in accounting, finance or risk management required by the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies.

According to the provisions of its charter, last updated in July 2012, the Committee is responsible for performing investigations, offering consultations and submitting proposals to the Board of Directors.

In particular, the Committee performs the following activities:

•: assists the Board of Directors in the execution of its tasks regarding internal controls;

•: evaluates the preparation of the accounting and company records, together with the manager appointed to carry out this task, having obtained the opinion of the independent auditor and the Board of Statutory Auditors; also reviews the application of accounting principles and their consistency of application for the purposes of preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements;
•: reviews the regular reports on the evaluation of the ICFR System and any particularly significant reports prepared by the Internal Audit department;
•: expresses opinions on specific aspects concerning the identification of corporate risks as well as the planning, implementation and management of the ICFR System.
•: reviews the work plan prepared by the Manager of the Internal Audit Department.

On January 29, 2016, in compliance with the comment referred to in article 4 of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies, which was introduced in July 2015, the Board of Directors resolved to entrust the Control and Risk Committee with supervision of sustainability questions linked to Company activities.

Specific expertise on auditing is assigned to the Board of Statutory Auditors, acting as Audit Committee, described later on in this Report. Moreover, the Financial Expert was identified within the Board of Statutory Auditors by the Board of Directors.

The Control and Risk Committee meets whenever the Chairman deems it appropriate, usually prior to the Board meetings for the approval of the annual, six-month report and quarterly financial update, or whenever a meeting is requested to be called by him by another member.

When the Committee deemed it necessary, the management of the Company and the Luxottica Group were invited to participate in meetings to discuss specific items on the agenda and to review specifically the topics within their competence.

During the 2016 fiscal year, the Committee met 12 times, two of which were exclusively as the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties. On three occasions the Internal Control Committee during its meetings examined transactions with related parties, according to the relevant Procedure. The average meeting time was approximately three hours. The Committee among other activities: (i) evaluated the financial risks for the Company; (ii) examined reports of the Supervisory Board and reports regarding complaints of alleged violations of the Code of Ethics (twice a year); (iii) reviewed the reports of the Internal Audit Manager on the activities carried out; (iv) assessed the development of activities aimed at compliance with the SOX; (v) evaluated the audit plan and the integration of same submitted over the year; (vi) reviewed the activities carried out to identify, monitor and manage risks; and (vii) met with representatives of various departments to review in detail the progress of specific projects or the management of several specific risk areas.

The Committee met three times in the first two months of 2017, one of which was exclusively as the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties.

The meetings, attended by the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, or by an Auditor appointed by same, are regularly reported in the meeting minutes. Furthermore, certain meetings are joint meetings between the Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The Chairman of the Committee reports to the Board of Directors at the earliest opportunity on the most relevant issues examined by the Committee. The Committee presents a report on the activities carried out at least twice a year, prior to the approval of the financial statements and the six-monthly report.

Once a year the Committee, along with the Statutory Auditors, meets the Supervisory Body and the Manager for the preparation of the Company's financial reports.

The Committee has access to the information and the Company functions necessary for the performance of its task as well as to work with external consultants. The Board of Directors approved the allocation of funds totaling Euro 50,000 to the Committee for the 2016 fiscal year in order to provide it with the adequate financial resources to perform its tasks independently.

Internal Audit Manager

The Manager of the Internal Audit department is responsible for ensuring the effectiveness and suitability of the ICFR System.

Starting from October 1, 2016, on the proposal of the Directors in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, having obtained the favorable opinion of the Control and Risk Committee and having consulted the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Stefano Russo as Internal Audit Manager on July 25, 2016 to replace Mr. Alessandro Nespoli, who has pursued new career opportunities outside the Group.

The Internal Audit Manager is not responsible for any operational area and has access to any information useful for the performance of his duties. He is provided with a budget, which is allocated consistently with the activities performed, to reach the objectives set forth in the plan approved by the competent bodies.

During the course of the fiscal year, the Internal Audit Manager performed his role through the implementation of an activities and verification plan which is related to Luxottica Group S.p.A. and its main subsidiaries. Such actions, which the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors were informed of, through the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, have allowed the Company to identify areas for improvement of the ICFR System, for which specific plans have been implemented to further strengthen the foundation of the system itself.

The remuneration of the Internal Audit Manager, which is consistent with Company policies, has been discussed by the Control and Risk Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

It is to be noted that in January 2015, following the implementation of the co-CEO model, in order to preserve the autonomy and independence of the entire Internal Audit department, the Board of Directors agreed that the latter: (i) would be subordinate hierarchically to the Board of Directors; (ii) from an organizational perspective, would be under the position of the Chairman of the Board of Directors; and (iii) from an operational point of view, would report to the two co-CEOs, who are Managers of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (each to the extent of their respective areas of competence), the Control and Risk Committee, and the Board of Statutory Auditors (the latter as it is a body that functions as the Audit Committee under U.S. law).

As mentioned above, with its resolution of January 29, 2016, the Board of Directors, in consideration of the choice to adopt a simplified governance model to be entrusted to an Executive Chairman for the Markets Division and a Chief Executive Officer for the Product and Operations Division, specified that the Executive Chairman, within his role of providing strategic supervision and as the organizational point of contact, was granted the power to supervise the Internal Audit department, with it being clearly understood that the latter was to report hierarchically to the Board of Directors, functionally to the Control and Risk Committee, and to the Chief Executive Officer of the different areas of competence, as well as to the Board of Statutory Auditors in its capacity as Audit Committee under U.S. law.

The main activities performed by the Internal Audit Manager include, among others, the activities set out in the annual Audit Plan approved by the Board of Directors, the special projects required by the top management, compliance activities required by SOX and compliance activities required by Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.

Organizational System pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001

On October 27, 2005, the Board of Directors implemented the Organization, Management and Control System, as established by former Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 in order to prevent the risk of employees and consultants of the Company carrying out illegal acts, with the consequent administrative liability as provided for by Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 (hereinafter the "Model"). The Model, which was subsequently modified throughout the years, was last updated by the resolution of the Board of Directors on March 1, 2016. Particular importance is given to the "point persons" of the Supervisory Board (the Operational Unit Supervisors), or to the persons that perform functions considered to be the most "sensitive" activities pursuant to former Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, who constantly monitor the implementation of the Model, within their area of responsibility, and report to the Supervisory Board every six months.

Following the update of the Model, and in continuation of the training programs from the past few years, training initiatives have been established for areas which are considered "sensitive" pursuant to former Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001.

The purpose of the Model is the establishment of a structured and organized system of procedures and control activities carried out mainly for prevention, such that the system cannot be overridden unless by fraudulently failing to comply with its provisions.

To this end, the Model serves the following purposes:

•: to make all those working in the name of and on behalf of Luxottica aware of the need to accurately comply with the Model, and that the violation thereof shall result in severe disciplinary measures;
•: to support the condemnation by the Company of any behavior which, due to a misunderstanding of corporate interest, is in conflict with the law, rules or more generally with the principles of fairness and transparency upon which the activity of the Company is based;
•: to provide information about the serious consequences which the Company may suffer (and therefore also its employees, managers and top managers) from the enforcement of pecuniary and prohibitory fines provided for in Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 and the possibility that such measures may be ordered as an interim measure; and
•: to enable the Company to exercise constant control and careful supervision of its activities, in order to be able to react promptly in the event that risks arise and possibly enforce disciplinary measures provided for by the Model itself.

The general part of the Model is available on the website www.luxottica.com in the Governance/Model 231 section.

The Supervisory Board appointed on April 24, 2015 is composed of two external professionals, Mr. Ugo Lecis (Chairman) and Mr. Enrico Maria Bignami and the Internal Audit Manager (Mr. Stefano Russo since October 1, 2016; Mr. Alessandro Nespoli until September 30, 2016). The Board of Directors, at the time of its appointment on April 24, 2015, considered it appropriate to maintain a Supervisory Board made up of the Internal Audit Manager and two external, independent professionals, instead of entrusting the Board of Statutory Auditors with the task, as permitted by recent amendments introduced by Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001. This choice was deemed appropriate for combining the requirements of independence and expertise, both of which are fundamental for being able to guarantee authoritativeness and effectiveness to the work carried out by the Supervisory Board.

The Board reports every six months to the Board of Directors, the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors on the activities performed.

During the 2016 fiscal year, the Board of Directors allocated specific funds, totaling Euro 50,000, in order to provide the Supervisory Board with adequate financial resources to perform its duties.

On the basis of the guidelines provided by Luxottica Group S.p.A. and of the risk assessment performed, the subsidiary companies Luxottica S.r.l. and Luxottica Italia S.r.l. adopted and have updated their own Organization Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, appointing the respective Supervisory Bodies over the years, in order to implement specific control measures relating to the different risk profile of each company.

During the 2016 fiscal year, the subsidiaries Oakley Sport International S.r.l. and Luxottica International Distribution S.r.l. also adopted their own Organizational Model under Italian Legislative Decree no.231/2001 and appointed a Supervisory Body.

Board of Statutory Auditors

The Board of Statutory Auditors currently in office for the duration of three fiscal years, until the approval of the financial statements as at December 31, 2017 was appointed at the Stockholders Meeting held on April 24, 2015, and is composed of Francesco Vella, Chairman, Alberto Giussani and Barbara Tadolini.

The procedures for the appointment of Auditors are governed by art. no. 27 of the Company by-laws; for more information, please refer to the Company's by-laws. The appointment of one regular statutory Auditor, as Chairman, and of one alternate statutory Auditor shall be reserved for the minority—which is not part, even indirectly, of the relationship to be considered pursuant to article 148, sub-paragraph 2 of legislative decree no 58/1998 and the related regulations. With reference to the composition of the board of Statutory Auditors, the By—Laws ensure the balance between genders, according to article 148, paragraph 1 bis of the Italian Consolidated Financial Law.

Each Auditor reports to the other Auditors and to the Board of Directors on Company transactions in which they have an interest personally or on the account of a third-party.

The Board of Statutory Auditors presents its duly formed proposal to the Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders on the appointment of the external auditors.

In the performance of its duties, the Board of Statutory Auditors coordinates with the Internal Audit department, the Control and Risk Committee, the Risk Management department and Compliance.

The Board of Statutory Auditors verified the correct application of the criteria used by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of the Directors.

Following its appointment the Board of Statutory Auditors assessed the compliance of its members with the requirements of independence in accordance with the laws in force and the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies and also verified that these requirements were met during the 2016 fiscal year.

The Board of Statutory Auditors was identified by the Board of Directors as the suitable body to act as Audit Committee as provided for by the SOX, and SEC and NYSE rules and regulations. Furthermore, in accordance with Italian law, it acts as a Committee for Internal Control and Auditing.

Consequently, the Board of Statutory Auditors:

•: examines and discusses all the declarations required by SOX sections 302 and 906 with management;
•: examines the management reports on the ICFR System and the declaration of the auditing company on the conclusions of the management in compliance with SOX section 404;

•: evaluates the proposals of the auditing companies for the appointment as external auditor and submits its proposal on the appointment or revocation of the auditing company to the Meeting of Stockholders;
•: supervises the activities of the external auditors and their supply of consulting services, other auditing services or certificates;
•: reviews periodic reports of the external auditors on: (i) the critical accounting criteria and practices to be used; (ii) the alternative accounting processes generally accepted, once they have been analyzed together with management, the consequences of the use of such alternative processes and the related information, as well as the processes which are considered preferable by the external auditors; and (iii) any other relevant written communication between the external auditors and management;
•: makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on the settlement of disputes between management and the external auditors regarding financial reporting;
•: approves the procedures concerning: (i) the receipt, the archiving and the treatment of reports received by the Company on accounting matters, ICFR System matters related to the accounts and audit-related matters; (ii) the confidential and anonymous reporting on questionable accounting or auditing matters;

•: assesses the requests to make use of the auditing company appointed to perform the auditing of the balance sheet for permitted non-audit services and expresses their opinion on the matter to the Board of Directors;
•: approves the procedures prepared by the Company for the pre-emptive authorization of the permitted non-audit services, analytically identified, and examines the reports on the supply of the authorized services.

With particular reference to the Form 20-F (the Annual Report drawn up in compliance with the U.S. laws relevant for non-U.S. companies that are listed on the NYSE), the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its capacity as Audit Committee, also carries out the following tasks:

•: reviews the financial information to be disclosed in the Form 20-F, including the audited financial statements, the management report, selected financial information and the information on market risk, together with the company management and auditing firm;
•: reviews the assessment of the quality and acceptability of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant evaluations, the clarity of the disclosure of financial information, the management report, the selected financial information and information on market risk, together with the CFO and audit firm; and

In accordance with U.S. regulations, the Board of Directors confirmed the office of Mr. Alberto Giussani as Audit Committee Financial Expert on April 24, 2015.

The Board of Statutory Auditors has the appropriate skills and resources to perform the above-mentioned duties. During 2016 the Board of Directors allocated to the Board of Statutory Auditors acting as Audit Committee specific funds totaling 100,000 Euro.

In 2016 the Board met 10 times—also jointly with Control and Risk Committee—for an average meeting of more than three hours. In the first two months of 2017 the Board met twice.

During the year, the Statutory Auditors attended the meetings of the Control and Risk Committee, in addition to the Meeting of Stockholders and the meetings of the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors or an Auditor appointed by the latter is invited to attend the meetings of the Human Resources Committee. In 2016, the Chairman of the Board or one Auditor appointed by the latter attended all of the meetings of the Human Resources Committee.

Procedure for transactions with related parties

On October 25, 2010 the Board of Directors voted unanimously to adopt a new procedure to regulate transactions with related parties pursuant to the provisions of CONSOB regulation 17221/2010.

The procedure, which was approved by the former Internal Control Committee (composed exclusively of independent Directors), became applicable as of January 1, 2011.

On January 30, 2017, the Board of Directors, in compliance with the recommendation of CONSOB (see Communication no. 10078683 dated September 24, 2010), carried out an assessment on the possibility of revising the procedure, consistent with that done in 2014. In this regard, the Board, having achieved the favorable opinion of the Control and Risk Committee (composed solely of Independent Directors), resolved to make amendments to the Procedure, in line with the best practices on this subject.

The procedure regulates the execution of major and minor transactions. Transactions with and among subsidiary companies, associated companies, ordinary transactions, transactions of an inferior amount (of an amount less than Euro 1 million or, with regard to the remuneration of a member of a management or control body or managers with strategic responsibilities, of an amount less than Euro 250,000) are excluded from the application of the procedure.

The Board of Directors also reached the following decisions, among others, with regard to the interested parties involved in each individual transaction, where possible each time that: (i) the Human Resources Committee was to be involved and consulted regarding transactions for the remuneration and economic benefits of the members of the management and control bodies and managers in strategic roles and (ii) the Control and Risk Committee was to be involved in and consulted about other transactions with related parties.

Further information on the application of the procedure with regard to remuneration and assignment of benefits to the members of the management and control bodies and managers in strategic roles are stated in the Remuneration Report drawn up in accordance with art.123-ter of the Italian Consolidated Financial Law.

This Procedure was last updated on January 30, 2017.

The Procedure is available on the website www.luxottica.com, in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section.

Internal Dealing and Inside Information Management Procedures

On July 3, 2016, the Company adopted new internal dealing and inside information management procedures with the aim of incorporating the new European provisions on the subject of Market Abuse and in particular EU Regulation 596/2014 and its implementation measures into the Company's procedures.

The Internal Dealing Procedure, last updated on July 25, 2016, regulates in detail the behavioral and disclosure obligations relating to transactions in shares, ADRs, credit instruments issued by Luxottica or derivatives or other financial instruments related to the latter, completed by so-called "relevant parties", namely Directors, Auditors of the Company and Managers with strategic responsibilities, as well as the people closely connected to these parties.

The reporting obligation is applicable to all subsequent transactions, once an equivalent value of 5000 euros has been exceeded.

The procedure for the management of inside information, which was last updated on July 25, 2016, in compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions, regulates: the internal management

and external communication of information on Luxottica and the companies of the Group, with particular reference to inside information; the establishment, keeping and updating of the register of people that have access to privileged information; the black-out periods that members of the Board of Directors, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the Company and managers with strategic responsibilities are obliged to respect in the trading of Luxottica securities.

Both procedures are available on the website www.luxottica.com, in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section.

Appointment of External Auditors

U.S. regulations in force provide that either the Audit Committee or the equivalent body under the specific rules of the issuer's home country must approve the services provided by external auditors to the Company and to its subsidiaries.

To this end, the Board of Directors approved the 'Group Procedure for the Appointment of External Auditors' back in 2005, in order to protect the independence of the external auditor, which is the fundamental guarantee of the reliability of the accounting information regarding the appointing companies. This policy was last updated on July 26, 2012.

The parent company's external auditor is the main auditor for the entire Luxottica Group.

The limitations on the appointment contained in this policy derive from current regulations in Italy and in the United States, by virtue of the fact that the Company's shares are listed both on the NYSE and the MTA, without prejudice to any additional constraints imposed by any local laws applicable to the individual non-Italian subsidiary companies. The procedure is currently under review with the aim of incorporating the provisions of the Italian Legislative Decree n. 135/2016, applicable since January 1, 2017.

The policy is available on the website www.luxottica.com, in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section.

IV. MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

The Board of Directors determines the venue, date and time of each Meeting of Stockholders in order to facilitate the participation of stockholders.

The Luxottica Directors and Auditors endeavor to attend the meetings, in particular the Directors who, by virtue of their position, may contribute significantly to the discussion and report on the activities performed.

The Ordinary Meeting of Stockholders is called through a notice published by the thirtieth day prior to the date fixed for the Meeting (or by the fortieth day, in the case of the appointment of company committees), on the Company website and using the other methods prescribed by CONSOB in its Regulations. The notice of call, in compliance with legal provisions, states the necessary instructions on how to participate in the General Meeting of Stockholders, including information on the methods for finding the proxy forms, which can also be accessed through the Company website.

The Governance/General Meeting section of the Company's website contains the relevant information on Meetings of Stockholders held during the most recent fiscal years, including the resolutions passed, the notices of call, as well as the documentation concerning the items on the agenda.

Pursuant to article 12 of the by-laws, those stockholders for whom the Company has received notice by the relevant intermediary pursuant to the centralized management system of the financial

instruments, pursuant to the regulations and legal provisions in force at that time, shall be entitled to attend the Meeting and to vote.

All persons entitled to attend the Meeting may be represented by written proxy in accordance with the provisions of law.

The proxy may also be granted to the representative appointed by the Company with voting instructions on all or some of the proposals on the agenda in accordance with art.135-undecies of the Italian Consolidated Financial Law.

The Company by-laws do not provide for voting by mail.

Pursuant to article 14 of the by-laws, the provisions of the law are applied in relation to the validity of the composition of the meeting and the related resolutions.

Meetings of Stockholders may be either ordinary meetings or extraordinary meetings, depending on the subject matters to be dealt with. Different quorum requirements apply to ordinary and extraordinary meetings. Ordinary Stockholders' Meetings must be convened at least once a year to approve the annual financial statements of Luxottica Group S.p.A. At ordinary Stockholders' Meetings, stockholders vote upon dividend distributions, if any, appoint the directors, statutory auditors and external auditors, determine their remuneration and vote on business any matters submitted by the directors to the Stockholders' Meeting.

Ordinary stockholders' meetings of Luxottica can be convened only in one call and there are no minimum quorum requirements. Resolutions may be adopted by a simple majority of ordinary shares represented at such meeting.

Extraordinary meetings of stockholders may be called to vote upon, among other things, proposed amendments to the By-laws, capital increases, mergers, spin-offs, issuance of convertible debentures, and similar extraordinary actions. Extraordinary stockholders' meetings are properly convened when at least one-fifth of the share capital is represented at the meeting and resolutions are adopted with the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting.

In 2016, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting of Stockholders was held on April 29 to pass resolutions on the following items on the agenda:

Ordinary part:

1.: The approval of the Statutory Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
2.: The allocation of net income and distribution of dividends.
3.: Authorization to buy back and dispose of treasury shares pursuant to articles 2357et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.
4.: An advisory vote on the first section of the remuneration report in accordance with article 123-ter, paragraph 6 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998;
5.: Appointment of one director.

Extraordinary part:

1.: Amendment of articles 12, 19 and 30 of the Company By-laws.

Eleven Directors and the entire Board of Statutory Auditors attended the last Meeting of Stockholders.

Luxottica has adopted Regulations for Meetings of Stockholders to ensure the regular and functional management of the Meeting of Stockholders and to ensure that each stockholder is allowed to express an opinion on the items being discussed. The Regulations are available at the Company's

registered office and at the venues in which the Meetings of Stockholders are held; the Regulation is also available to the public on the website www.luxottica.com, in the Governance/Documents and Procedures section.
