To the Shareholders, In our capacity as Statutory Auditors of Hermès International, and in accordance with the provisions of articles L.225-177 and R.225-144 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), we hereby report to you on the authorisation to grant share purchase options to employees and corporate officers of Hermès International and all or some of its affiliated companies or groups, under the conditions stipulated by article L.225-180 of the French Commercial Code, which is submitted to you for approval. On the basis of its report, Executive Management proposes that, for a period of 38 months from the date of this General Meeting, the shareholders authorise it to grant share purchase options on one or more occasions. The total number of options that may be granted under this authorisation may not be such that the number of purchase options granted under this resolution and the number of free shares granted under the nineteenth resolution represent a number of shares greater than 2% of the Company’s ordinary shares at the time the options are granted, without taking into account:

shares already granted under previous authorisations; s shares that have not vested at the end of the vesting period provided s for in the sixth paragraph of article L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code; shares that are no longer subject to the lock-up obligation provided s for in the seventh paragraph of article L.225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code. It is the responsibility of Executive Management to draw up a report on the reasons for granting share purchase options as well as the proposed methods for determining the purchase price. It is our responsibility to express an opinion on the proposed methods for determining the share purchase price. We performed the procedures that we deemed necessary in accordance with professional standards applicable in France to such engagements. These procedures consisted, in particular, in verifying that the proposed methods for determining the share purchase price are specified in the report prepared by Executive Management and that they comply with the applicable laws and regulations. We have no comments to make on the proposed methods used to set the share purchase price.
