The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting, having taken note of the reports of the auditor, approve the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the financial statements of the Company and the directors’ report for the business year ended 31 March 2013

The Board of Directors proposes that the 2013 compensation report as per pages 53 to 60 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2013 be ratified

for

Appropriation of profits: At 31 March 2013, the retained earnings available for distribution amounted to CHF 2 366 505 209. The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of CHF 1.00 be paid per Richemont share. This is equivalent to CHF 1.00 per ‘A’ bearer share in the Company and CHF 0.10 per ‘B’ registered share in the Company. This represents a total dividend payable of CHF 574 200 000, subject to a waiver by Richemont Employee Benefits Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, of its entitlement to receive dividends on an estimated 21 million Richemont ‘A’ shares held in treasury. The Board of Directors proposes that the remaining available retained earnings of the Company at 31 March 2013 after payment of the dividend be carried forward to the following business year. The dividend will be paid on or about 19 September 2013
