[LOGO] UBS Introduction - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 1 [LOGO] UBS Introduction - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o As a result of the announcement by RCS MediaGroup S.p.A. ("RCS") on March 7, 2003 in which it stated its intention to offer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Fila Holding S.pA. ("Fila" or the "Company") including those in the form of American Depositary Shares (the "Fila ADSs") not owned by RCS (the "Offer") at a price of US$1.12 in cash, without interest per Fila ADS/share ("the Consideration"), the members of the Board of Directors of Fila are considering whether the Consideration is fair from a financial point of view o The Board of Fila engaged UBS on May 12, 2003 to provide the Board of Fila with an opinion as to the fairness of the Consideration from a financial point of view o On June 10, 2003 (the "Closing Date"), Fila completed the sale of substantially all of its business and operations to Sport Brands International LLC ("Sport Brands") for a total consideration of US$351 million and repaid all its financial debt towards the banks and RCS (the "Transactions"). Following such Transactions Fila has no substantial ongoing business and has some cash and working capital o We have not been requested to address and our opinion does not address, the Transactions, the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Transactions or the Board's decision whether to recommend the Offer [LOGO] UBS Section 1: Introduction 2 Instruments and scope of the work - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o In order to assess the value of Fila, UBS has performed a number of different tasks: - reviewed the draft of the Offer to Purchase from RCS dated June 20, 2003 (the "Offer to Purchase") and prior drafts - reviewed certain publicly available business and historical financial information relating to the operating activities and the financial condition of the Company, including the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2002, Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2002 and certain communications to shareholders - reviewed the Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") among Sport Brands, Holding di Partecipazioni Industriali S.p.A. (subsequently re-named RCS MediaGroup S.p.A.) and Fila relating to the purchase by Sport Brands of 100% of the capital stock of Fila Nederland BV, Fila Sport S.p.A., Ciesse Piumini S.r.l. and 5% of Fila U.S.A. Inc. shares, dated March 7, 2003 - reviewed the letter agreement dated June 10, 2003 ("Letter of Agreement") relating to the SPA - reviewed current and historical market prices of the ADSs of the Company - reviewed certain financial information and other data relating to the remaining assets and liabilities of the Company, including estimates prepared by management of the Company and not publicly available - reviewed the Company's tax position - conducted discussions with the management of the Company and with the members of the Board of Directors concerning the post-sale business of the Company, and - conducted such other financial studies, analyses, and investigations, and considered such other information as we deemed necessary or appropriate o We have considered Fila on the basis of the draft pro-forma financial position as of June 10, 2003 ("Pro-Forma Financial position") as adjusted for all the adjustments which the Company has considered appropriate to define the pro-forma financial position of Fila as of June 23, 2003 ("Date of Reference") [LOGO] UBS Section 1: Introduction 3 The offer - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 2 [LOGO] UBS Indicative terms of the offer - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Target of the o All 8,598,776 outstanding Fila shares, in the form of Fila ADSs or shares, not already owned by RCS Offer o RCS has announced its intention to delist Fila ADSs from the NYSE - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Offeror o RCS, owner of 91.09% of Fila outstanding shares/ADSs - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Two separate, but concurrent and related, offers: - a public tender offer in the US Structure of - a private offer made only to 7 individuals who are Italian residents the offer o Terms and conditions of the two offers are substantially the same (the only material difference being that Italian holders can be paid in Euros) - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o RCS will pay US$1.12 net per each Fila ADS or share in cash, without interest.

In February 2003 the other shareholders subscribed a part of their capital increase ((euro)0.03m) o On December 5, 2002 RCS announced its intention to sell Fila's operating activities by the end of the year o On March 7, 2003 Fila announced it had reached an agreement for the sale of all of its operating businesses to Sport Brands. On the same date, RCS announced that after the closing of the Transactions (and in any event within 6 months from that date) it would offer to purchase all the shares/ADSs not already owned by RCS at a price of US$ 1.12 per share/ADS o Since March 7, 2003 the stock market price has closely tracked the offer price [LOGO] UBS Section 2: The offer 6 Premium analysis - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o In the table below we have reported the average price of Fila ADSs and the premium/(discount) of the offer price over the average share price in the periods (1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year) prior to the announcement of the offer (March 7, 2003) Average price Premium/(discount) prior to of the offer price announcement over the average Period (US$) share price - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 week 1.028 8.95% 1 month 0.960 16.61% 3 months 1.135 (1.33%) 1 year 2.547 (56.03%) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOURCE: Datastream [LOGO] UBS Section 2: The offer 7 Current Shareholding structure - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No. of Shareholders shares/ADSs (%) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RCS 87,912,536 91.09 Harris Associates L.P. 3,252,430 3.37 Fidelity 1,293,015 1.34 BPI Global Asset Management 158,500 0.16 Boston Private Value Investors 33,000 0.03 Deutsche Asset Management 30,650 0.03 World Asset Management 5,780 0.01 Veritas SG 5,000 0.01 Italian shareholders 45 0.00 ADSs held by former subsidiaries 112,400 0.12 for stock option purposes Others 3,707,956 3.84 --------------------------- Total shares/ADSs 96,511,312 100.00 =============================================================================== SOURCE: Carson, Company o RCS currently owns 87,912,536 Fila shares representing approximately 91.09% of the outstanding shares/ADSs o The total Fila ADSs owned by identified institutional investors that have communicated their investments are 4,778,375 (4.95% of share capital) o Italian shareholders are 7 individuals holding 45 shares o According to the Letter of Agreement, after the closing of the Transactions, Sport Brands will hold approximately 112,400 Fila ADSs that were previously held by some operating subsidiaries, formerly controlled by Fila, for stock option purposes. Such ADSs will be transferred to an escrow account and pursuant to the agreement between the parties cannot be tendered. In the event of delisting and termination of the ADS programme of Fila, Sport Brands may within one year convert its ADSs into ordinary shares o There are no third party rights to underwrite newly issued shares/ADSs, or obligations by the Company to issue any further shares/ADSs [LOGO] UBS Section 2: The offer 8 Analysis - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 3 [LOGO] UBS Analytical approach - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o With effect from the Closing Date, Fila has effectively transferred all of its operating business to Sport Brands. The transaction proceeds of US$351m have been used by the Company to repay its outstanding debt towards the banks and RCS o Given the non-operating nature of the assets and liabilities left in Fila the Net Asset Value ("NAV") method is the most appropriate analytical tool o The NAV method measures the current value of a company's assets net of its outstanding liabilities o In our view, other commonly used methodologies are not applicable to determine the value of Fila: - Discounted Cash Flow: Fila does not have any operating cash flow stream - Comparable companies analysis: Fila could not validly be compared with any other listed company on the basis of a sector/market rationale - Most recent "going private" transactions are not meaningfully comparable with the Fila transaction because they generally refer to companies that have significant business and operations and the offer price reflects the offerors' view on the future performance of such business and operations o We have assumed a US$/(euro)exchange rate of 1.1623 (as of close of business on June 20, 2003) o We have assumed a discount rate of 3% equal to the Company average cash interest yield (pre-tax) [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 10 Analytical approach (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o To determine Fila's NAV at the Date of Reference we started our analysis from the draft Pro-Forma Financial position as of June 10, 2003 and provided to us by the Company. The Company informed us that its financial position at the Date of Reference would not have any substantial differences from the Pro-Forma Financial position as of June 10, 2003 except for the adjustments below o We have identified with the management of the Company the assets and liabilities included in the Pro-Forma Financial position o The management of the Company confirmed that: - The value of the assets and liabilities in the Pro-Forma Financial position represents the current value of such assets and liabilities - There are no assets and/or liabilities not included in the Pro-Forma Financial position other than: - Costs related to the disposal of operating assets (management severance payments/indemnities, legal fees) and the ordinary activity of the Company (Board compensation, internal auditors' compensation and external auditor's fees) and costs related to the Company's tax amnesty - Fila's tax loss carry-forwards - Potential liabilities for Fila deriving from any claim for indemnification pursuant to the SPA o All costs have been discounted to the Date of Reference [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 11 Adjustments to pro-forma NAV - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severance payment funds Transactions Pro-Forma Financial transfer payment costs and other Tax amnesty Adjusted financial ((euro)'000) position (06/10/03) to Fila Sport costs liability position (06/23/03) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed assets (net) 20 20 Net equity investments 3 3 Other non current assets 230 230 -------- ------- Total fixed assets 253 253 Other receivables 19,855 19,855 Net cash 33,365 (337) (891) (515) 31,622 -------- ------- Total current assets 53,220 51,477 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets 53,473 51,730 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severance payment funds 337 (337) 0 -------- ------- Medium and Long term liabilities 337 0 Accounts payable 2,218 2,218 Other current liabilities 1,790 1,790 -------- ------- Current liabilities 4,008 4,008 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders' Equity (NAV) 49,128 (891) (515) 47,722 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAV per ADS/share (US$) 0.5916 0.5747 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total equity and liabilities 53,473 51,730 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOURCE: Company NOTE: Adjustments are in the amounts that the Company has deemed appropriate [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 12 Adjustments to pro-forma NAV (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o The adjustments that have been made to take into account the assets and liabilities identified by the Company and not included in the Pro-Forma Financial position are the following: - The severance payment funds indicating in the Pro-Forma Financial position have been transferred to Fila Sport at closing of the SPA, creating a debt for the same amount towards Fila Sport - The Present Value of Transactions costs and other costs refers to: - Board compensations ((euro)0.28m) equal to the total amount forecasted in the 2003 budget net of any payment - management incentives ((euro)0.42m) equal to an estimate, provided by the Company and prepared by the management of the Company, of the potential liabilities for severance indemnities towards Fila employees - internal auditors compensations ((euro)0.04m) equal to the total amount forecasted in the 2003 budget net of any payment - external auditors' fees ((euro)0.05m) equal to the amount to be paid for the 2003 accounts auditing - legal fees ((euro)0,05m) for the work done in relation to the Offer - outstanding lease and administrative services outsourcing agreements ((euro)0.05m). These costs represent the consideration for the year 2003 (period from June 11, 2003 to December 31, 2003) - The tax amnesty liability related to the fiscal year 2002 (equal to (euro)0.5 million) represents the present value of the planned payments not included in the Pro-Forma Financial position [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 13 Hedge activity on the foreign exchange risk - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o The Company had some hedging positions to neutralise the exchange rate risk related to the debt towards operating companies and to the Consideration o The positions were related of forward agreements for the purchase of foreign currency and have been almost completely closed before the Date of Reference, originating a profit of (euro)20m o The only current open position is equal to (euro)6.6m and will be closed on June 30, 2003. To consider this position we used the spot exchange rate as of June 20, 2003 (US$/(euro)1.1623) [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 14 Potential value of Fila's tax loss carry forwards - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o According to the information received from the Company, at the Date of Reference, Fila's tax losses amount to approximately (euro)234m o Approximately (euro)154m of such losses stem from previous years taxable write-offs of the investments in the operating companies that become deductible with the sale of the operating activities to Sport Brands o A further approximately (euro)71m represents the estimated tax loss for the period from January 1, 2003 until June 10, 2003 and are mainly attributable to the capital loss from the sale of operating companies o The Company believes that as a stand-alone entity, given its lack of revenues and taxable income, Fila will not be able to materially benefit from such tax losses; if the Company invested its net cash position in 5 year Italian Government bonds, the Net Present Value of the total tax savings, related to the use of the Company's tax loss carry forwards for 5 years, that could be achieved would be approximately (euro)1.5m (US$0.02 per ADS/share) o On March 7, 2003 RCS announced that immediately after completion of the Offer, it intends to delist the Fila ADSs from the NYSE and to turn Fila to new activities and investments within the group strategic sectors o Based on the Board's assessment that no opportunity exists for the Company to realise a material value through the use of such tax loss carry-forwards, we have assumed that the value of tax loss carry-forwards is not material to the Company Analysis of Fila's tax losses ((euro)'000) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 tax losses 5,762 Estimated tax loss (01/01/03 - 10/06/03) 71,166 2003 write-off provisions 2,540 Previous years' write-off provisions 153,931 Additional 2003 losses 891 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated tax losses(1) 234,290 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOURCE: Company estimates NOTE: (1) The maximum theoretical potential Italian tax savings implied in the estimated tax losses would amount to approximately (euro)80m (losses are deductible only for IRPEG tax purposes) and could be carried forward for 5 years only Potential tax savings due to investments in the money market - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash post adjustments ((euro)'000) 31,622 Interest rate(1) (%) 2.85% Full year interest income ((euro)'000) 901 Full year tax savings ((euro)'000) 306 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPV of 5 year tax savings(2) ((euro)'000) 1,540 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: (1) 5 year Italian Government bond yield (as of June 17, 2003) (2) For the year 2003 the interest were calculated on 6 months SOURCE: Bloomberg [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 15 Potential liabilities arising from the SPA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o In accordance with the provisions of the SPA and the Letter of Agreement, Fila is potentially liable for an aggregate amount not exceeding 15% of the purchase price (the "Cap") except for claims of breaches of certain representations, covenants, and certain litigation described in the SPA, for which Fila would be liable for the full amount o Any claims for indemnification made by Sport Brands will generally be paid by Fila only to the extent that individual claims or series of related claims exceed (euro)30,000 and the aggregate amount of all such claims exceed (euro)5 million, at which point Fila shall be liable for the portion in excess of that amount o The Company management's best estimate is that liabilities for any claims for indemnification made by Sport Brands under the SPA will not exceeds the (euro)5 million threshold indicated in the SPA. Therefore we have not adjusted the Company NAV for the liabilities deriving from such potential claims for indemnification [LOGO] UBS Section 3: Analysis 16 Summary of the analysis and conclusions - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 4 [LOGO] UBS Summary of the analysis and conclusions - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of the analysis(1) Pro-forma NAV ((euro)'000) 49,128 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro-forma NAV (June 10, 2003) per ADS/share (US$) 0.5916 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total adjustments to pro-forma NAV ((euro)'000) (1,406) Adjusted NAV ((euro)'000) 47,722 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted NAV (June 23, 2003) per ADS/share (US$) 0.5747 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated liabilities incurred as a consequence of the SPA ((euro)'000) (0) NAV ((euro)'000) 47,722 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAV per ADS/share (US$) 0.5747 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: (1).
