Share buyback programme to service stock option plans

Commitment to sustainability: amounts deriving from reward mechanism to be allocated to a renewable electricity project in Campari Group's main production site in Italy, in line with its energy efficiency and decarbonation agenda

Milan, May 31st, 2021-DavideCampari-Milano N.V. ('Campari' or the 'Company') announces, pursuant to article 2 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 1052/2016, the launch of a share buyback programme under article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 (the 'Programme').

The Programme is intended to meet the obligations arising from share option programmes and other incentive plans currently in force or to be adopted, the beneficiaries of which are (or will be) employees or other members of the administrative or management bodies of either the Company or other Campari Group's companies. The Programme will be implemented in accordance with the resolution adopted by the Company's General Meeting held on April 8th, 2021, which authorized the Board of Directors to acquire, in one or more transactions, a maximum number of shares in the capital of the Company which, when added to the treasury shares already held by Campari will not exceed the legal limit, for a period of 18 months form April 8th, 2021 to October 8th, 2022 (the 'Authorization'). The Authorization has also set out that purchases shall take place for (i) a minimum price, excluding expenses, of the nominal value of Campari's shares, and (ii) a maximum price equal to 5% above the average closing price of Campari's shares over a period of 5 days preceding the purchase day of the relevant shares.

In any case, as set forth in the Delegated Regulation, the shares will not be purchased at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the market on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. The Programme will be carried out (also in relation to the volume of shares to be purchased) in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including the Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 1052/2016, and the Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014.

The main features of the Programme are as follows:

  • duration: the Programme starts today and will end no later than March 31st, 2022;
  • maximum pecuniary amount allocated to the Programme: Euro 100,000,000;
  • maximum number of Campari shares to be acquired: 13,500,000;
  • the Programme will be coordinated by EXANE BNP Paribas, which will purchase Campari's shares independently of the Company at the most appropriate time and price (in any case, within the limits set out by the Authorization and all applicable laws and regulations).

Moreover, the Programme includes a contractually-agreed reward mechanism. An amount deriving from the outperformance1 in the purchase cost of the shares during the Programme will be allocated by Campari to an energy efficiency project, namely the installation of photovoltaic panels in Campari's main plant located in Italy (Novi Ligure), allowing the Company to insource the production of renewable electricity and reduce emissions, in line with Campari Group's energy efficiency and decarbonation agenda. By introducing this additional initiative, Campari further confirms its strong commitment to the responsible use of resources and reduction of the environmental impact of its production activities, one of the four pillars of Campari Group's sustainability roadmap.

Any subsequent changes to the Programme will be promptly disclosed to the public by the Company in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

As of today, Campari holds n. 35,224,862 own shares, equal to 3.03% of its ordinary share capital, and no entity controlled by Campari holds any Campari shares.

1 The outperformance is the difference between the purchase price and the average VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) during the execution period.
