In June 1992 Luxottica Group’s Board of Directors approved a change in the conversion ratio of the

At Luxottica Group’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on March 10, 1998, the Board of Directors
approved a five-for-one split of the Group’s ordinary shares. This stock split increased the number of
outstanding ordinary shares from 45,050,000 to 225,250,000, and reduced the par value from Lire 1,000
to Lire 200. This stock split, effective from April 16, 1998, had no effect on the Group’s authorized share
capital, which remained Lire 45,050,000,000. Each ADS continued to equal one ordinary share.
At Luxottica Group’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on May 3, 2000, shareholders approved a
two-for-one stock spilt. This stock split increased the number of outstanding ordinary shares, from
231,375,000 to 462,750,000, and reduced the par value from Lire 200 to Lire 100. This stock split,
effective from June 26, 2000, had no effect on the Group’s authorized share capital, which remained
Lire 46,275,000,000. Each ADS continued to equal one ordinary share.
After ten years, Luxottica Group listed on the MTA on December 4, 2000. At the time of the Offering
10,385,000 ordinary shares were sold at Euro 16.83 per share.
Luxottica Group’s ordinary shares and ADS are traded on both exchanges under the symbol LUX.
At Luxottica Group’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on June 26, 2001, shareholders approved the

On December 31, 2005 Luxottica Group’s authorized share capital was Euro 27,478,543.38, equivalent
to 457,975,723 ordinary shares.
