TRANSFORMATION INTO SAS IN 2021

PRESENTATION

3.3.1.1.

3.3.1.2.

The company Émile Hermès SAS, incorporated as a SARL ( société à responsabilité limitée , or limited liability company), was transformed in 2021 into a SAS ( société par actions simplifiée , or simplified joint-stock company). This transformation was unanimously approved by the partners on 17 February 2021. The aim is to allow a number of partners that may exceed 100, the limit provided for in Article L. 223-3 of the French Commercial Code ( Code de commerce ) for SARLs. The economy and the essential characteristics of Émile Hermès SARL, such as its operations, the organisation of its governance and the powers of its various corporate bodies, remain unchanged. Given the status of Émile Hermès SARL as Active partner, and in accordance with the Articles of Association of Hermès International (Articles 14.3 and 20.4), the Supervisory Board of Hermès International has approved the new Articles of Association of Émile Hermès SARL intended to transform it into a SAS at its meeting of 18 February 2021. The Hermès International General Meeting of 4 May 2021 amended Articles 1, 6.2, 14.3, 17, 19.2, 20.4 and 21.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association, in order to ensure strict consistency between the Articles of Association of Hermès International and those of Émile Hermès SAS. The adjustments carried out only concerned modifications made strictly necessary by the change in the legal form of Émile Hermès SAS. The transformation therefore became effective on 4 May 2021.
