INFORMATION FOR COMPAGNIE FINANCIERE RICHEMONT ('CFR') A
SHAREHOLDERS – WITHHOLDING TAX RECLAIMS

Reference is made to the SENS announcement of 23 October 2024
where it was explained that Computershare would provide
withholding tax reclaim forms to all holders for the 2024
dividend year. Withholding tax reclaim forms for the 2022 and
2023 dividend years were also provided in the past.

Computershare will assist South African shareholders in
recovering Swiss withholding tax on its dividend payments. All
inquiries regarding withholding tax recoveries and other
shareholding related matters should be addressed to
Computershare at the address below.

Following this, please be informed that the Swiss Federal Tax
Administration ('SFTA') has revised the Withholding Tax reclaim
process, which will require additional work for previously
submitted claims. As a result, there will be a further delay in
the payment of refunds for claims submitted for the dividend
years 2022 to 2024.

Please be informed that the SFTA has completed its review of the
2020 and 2021 dividend claims. These funds have now been
recovered, and Computershare will arrange to pay out the
successful claimants as soon as possible.

Please note that the deadline for submission of claims in respect
of the 2022 dividend year will expire on 31 December 2025. We
would urge you to submit these claims as soon as possible to
resolve any potential issues and to meet the deadline of the
SFTA for the 2022 dividend year. Should you not have received
your reclaim form or have misplaced the form, please contact
Computershare, who can resend the reclaim form to you by post
or email:

Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited
Rosebank Towers 15 Biermann Avenue
Rosebank 2196

Call centre: 0861-100-935
E mail: wht.richemont@computershare.co.za

Computershare and its associate's involvement in the withholding
tax reclaim process is to assist former Richemont DR holders and
'A' shareholders only. They do not accept any responsibility for
any delay or failure by the South African Revenue Services
('SARS') or the SFTA to accept claims for a refund and/or for
any failure, for whatever reason, by the SFTA to pay the refund
and/or any failure by claimants to receive the payment. In the
event of any refusal by SARS or the SFTA to accept the claims
or pay the refunds, holders may take the matter up with the
relevant tax authorities personally as and if appropriate.

Richemont A shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange,
Richemont's primary listing, and on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange, Richemont's secondary listing. Richemont A shares are
included in the Swiss Market Index ('SMI') of leading stocks.
