CHANGES TO GROUP MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Richemont announces the following changes to its Group Management Committee.

Mr Lutz Bethge, currently Chief Executive Officer of Montblanc International, will be appointed as non-executive Chairman and Head of Supervisory Board of Montblanc. In this capacity, Mr Bethge will represent the Maison externally and will be an advisor to the Maison on strategic matters. He will step down from operational business and from the Group Management Committee on 30 June 2013.

On behalf of the Group, Richemonts Board of Directors would like to thank Mr Bethge for his immense contribution to the development of Montblanc from a traditional writing instrument manufacturer to a strong luxury Maison. During his 23-year tenure in various roles, the Maison has been recognised as a legitimate player in the watch business, providing continued and significant growth. The Board wishes Mr Bethge every success in his new role.

Richemonts Board of Directors is also pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Jérôme Lambert, currently Chief Executive Officer of Jaeger-LeCoultre, as Chief Executive Officer of Montblanc. Mr Lambert will remain a member of the Group Management Committee. Montblancs new management organisation will be effective from 1 July 2013.

Mr Daniel Riedo, currently Industrial Director of Jaeger-LeCoultre, will succeed Mr Lambert as Chief Executive Officer of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
