As a result of the Warrant Redemption, as of March 28, 2023, there were 248,563,813 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and no Warrants outstanding.

In order to facilitate Zegna’s loyalty voting structure, the Zegna Articles of Association provide for transitional provisions to increase the authorized share capital when the Zegna Board makes the required filings with the Dutch Trade Register. All issued Ordinary Shares have been fully paid up.
As of December 31, 2022, 54,140,913 Ordinary Shares were held by Zegna in treasury.



All issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Zegna Special Voting Shares are held in registered form. No share certificates may be issued.
Issuance of Shares
The Zegna Articles of Association provide that Ordinary Shares and Zegna Special Voting Shares may be issued or rights to subscribe for shares may be granted pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Zegna General Meeting at the proposal of the Zegna Board, or alternatively, by the Zegna Board if so designated by the Zegna General Meeting. Designation by resolution of the Zegna General Meeting cannot be withdrawn unless determined otherwise at the time of designation. The scope and duration of the Zegna Board’s authority to issue shares or grant rights to subscribe for shares (such as granting stock options) will be determined by a resolution of the Zegna General Meeting and relates, at the most, to all unissued shares in Zegna’s authorized capital on the date on which the Zegna Board resolves to issue shares or grant rights to subscribe for shares. The duration of this authority may not exceed a period of five years. Designation of the Zegna Board as the body authorized to issue shares or grant rights to subscribe for shares may be extended by a resolution of the Zegna General Meeting for a period not exceeding five years in each case. The maximum number of shares or rights to subscribe for shares that may be issued or granted by the Zegna Board is determined at the time of designation by the Zegna General Meeting.
No resolution of the Zegna General Meeting or resolution of the Zegna Board is required to issue shares pursuant to the exercise of a previously granted right to subscribe for shares.
The Zegna General Meeting adopted a resolution prior to the Closing pursuant to which the Zegna Board is authorized, for a period of five years from the date of the Closing, to issue Ordinary Shares and grant rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares up to the authorized share capital from time to time.
Pre-Emptive Rights
Under Dutch law and the Zegna Articles of Association, each shareholder has a pre-emptive right in proportion to the aggregate number of its Ordinary Shares upon the issuance of new Ordinary Shares or the granting of rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares. Exceptions to this pre-emptive right include the issuance of new Ordinary Shares or the granting of rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares: (i) to employees of Zegna or another company of its group; (ii) against payment other than in cash; and (iii) to persons exercising a previously granted right to subscribe for Ordinary Shares. Holders of Zegna Special Voting Shares will not have pre-emptive rights to acquire newly issued Ordinary Shares or Zegna Special Voting Shares and no pre-emptive rights will exist with respect to the issue of Zegna Special Voting Shares. In accordance with Dutch law, pre-emptive rights may be exercised during a period of at least two weeks after the announcement of an issuance of new Ordinary Shares or a grant of rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares in the Dutch State Gazette.
The Zegna General Meeting at the proposal of the Zegna Board, or alternatively the Zegna Board if it has been designated to do so by the Zegna General Meeting, has the authority to resolve on the limitation or exclusion of pre-emptive rights upon an issuance of Ordinary Shares or a grant of rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares. A resolution of the Zegna General Meeting to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights or to authorize the Zegna Board to do so requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at a Zegna General Meeting. If half or more of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting, this resolution is adopted with a simple majority of the votes cast.
Pursuant to Dutch law, the Zegna Board may be designated as the competent body to limit or exclude pre-emption rights for a specified period of time not exceeding five years, but only if the Zegna Board has also been authorized or is simultaneously authorized to issue Ordinary Shares. If a proposal is made by the Zegna Board to the Zegna General Meeting to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights, the reasons for the proposal and the choice of the intended price of issue must be explained in writing.



The Zegna General Meeting adopted a resolution prior to the Closing pursuant to which the Zegna Board is authorized, for a period of five years from the Closing Date, to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights in connection with an issuance of Ordinary Shares or grant of rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares.
Transfer of Shares
Pursuant to Dutch law and the Zegna Articles of Association, the transfer of Ordinary Shares or Zegna Special Voting Shares (in each case, other than in book-entry form) or the creation of a right in rem on such shares requires a deed intended for that purpose and, save when Zegna is a party to the deed, written acknowledgment by Zegna of the transfer or the creation.
Pursuant to the Zegna Articles of Association, for as long as Ordinary Shares are listed on a regulated foreign stock exchange, the Zegna Board may resolve, in accordance with applicable Dutch law, that the preceding paragraph shall not apply to the Ordinary Shares that are registered in the part of the shareholders register which is kept outside the Netherlands by a registrar appointed by the Zegna Board for the purpose of the listing on such foreign stock exchange and that the property law aspects of such shares shall be governed by the law of the state of establishment of such stock exchange or by the law of the state in which deliveries and other legal acts under property law relating to the Ordinary Shares can or must be made with the consent of such stock exchange.
Pursuant to Dutch law and the Zegna Articles of Association, the Ordinary Shares are freely transferable. The Ordinary Shares which are registered in the Loyalty Register to participate in Zegna’s loyalty voting structure are subject to transfer restrictions.
For additional information on the Zegna Special Voting Shares, see Zegna’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 under “Item 10.B—Memorandum and Articles of Association — Loyalty Voting Program—Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares”.
Concurrently with the Closing, the Zegna Initial Shareholders, the IIAC Sponsor and the IIAC Initial Shareholders entered into the Zegna Shareholders Lock-Up Agreement and the IIAC Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, as applicable, with Zegna. Pursuant to the Zegna Shareholders Lock-Up Agreement, the Zegna Initial Shareholders have agreed, among other things, not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Ordinary Shares owned by them (excluding any shares acquired in the PIPE Financing) until the earlier of (a) the date that is 18 months from the Closing Date and (b) the last trading day on which the volume weighted average share price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for at least 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days, commencing at least 180 days after the Closing Date. Pursuant to the IIAC Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the IIAC Sponsor and the IIAC Initial Shareholders agreed, among other things, not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Ordinary Shares or Warrants acquired in connection with the Business Combination in exchange for Class B Shares, Class A Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and IIAC Private Placement Warrants, as applicable (excluding any shares acquired in the PIPE Financing), for a period of 180 days following the Closing Date, which expired on June 15, 2022; provided that, subject to certain adjustments: (i) the IIAC Sponsor (together with any other IIAC affiliates) will maintain beneficial ownership of a number of Ordinary Shares representing at least (a) 80% of the IIAC Sponsor’s initial stake immediately following the Closing (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Shares acquired in the PIPE Financing) for a period of at least 18 months following the Closing Date, and (b) 40% of the IIAC Sponsor’s initial stake immediately following the Closing (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Shares acquired in the PIPE Financing) for a period of at least 36 months following the Closing Date.
In addition, the PIPE Subscription Agreements for the Insider PIPE Subscribers contained certain restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares issued pursuant to such PIPE Subscription Agreements, which expired on December 17, 2022.
Dividends and Other Distributions
Pursuant to Dutch law and the Zegna Articles of Association, the distribution of dividends will take place following the adoption of the annual accounts, from which Zegna will determine whether such distribution is



permitted. Zegna may make distributions to its shareholders, whether from profits or from Zegna’s freely distributable reserves, only insofar as Zegna’s shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital plus any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the Zegna Articles of Association.
The Zegna Board may resolve to reserve the profits or part of the profits. Any profits remaining after the reservation referred to in the previous sentence by the Zegna Board will first be applied to allocate and add to the dividend reserve for each class of Zegna Special Voting Shares an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate nominal value of all issued and outstanding Zegna Special Voting Shares of that class. The profits remaining after application of the preceding sentence will be at the disposal of the Zegna General Meeting, which may resolve to add the remaining profits to the reserves or distribute them to the holders of Ordinary Shares. Distributions of dividends will be made to Zegna’s shareholders in proportion to the nominal value of their Ordinary Shares.
Pursuant to Dutch law and the Zegna Articles of Association, the Zegna Board or the Zegna General Meeting at the proposal of the Zegna Board are allowed to resolve upon interim distributions on Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, the Zegna Board must prepare an interim statement of assets and liabilities. Such interim statement shall show Zegna’s financial position not earlier than on the first day of the third month before the month in which the resolution to make the interim distribution is announced. An interim dividend can only be paid if (i) an interim statement of assets and liabilities is drawn up showing that the funds available for distribution are sufficient, and (ii) Zegna’s shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital and any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the Zegna Articles of Association. Interim distributions may be made in cash and in kind (such as in the form of Ordinary Shares).
Holders of Zegna Special Voting Shares will not receive any dividends in respect of the Zegna Special Voting Shares; however, Zegna will maintain a separate dividend reserve for each class of Zegna Special Voting Shares for the sole purpose of the allocation of the mandatory minimal profits that accrue to the Zegna Special Voting Shares (as further described in Zegna’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 under “Item 10.B—Memorandum and Articles of Association —Loyalty Voting Structure.”). Any distribution out of a special voting shares dividend reserve or the partial or full release of any such reserve will require a prior proposal from the Zegna Board and a resolution of the meeting of holders of the relevant class of Zegna Special Voting Shares, and will be made exclusively to the holders of the relevant class of Zegna Special Voting Shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of such relevant class of Zegna Special Voting Shares.
Distributions are payable on the day determined by the Zegna Board. Distributions will lapse if the distributions are not claimed within five years and one day following the date when they became payable.
Voting Rights and Quorum at Zegna General Meetings
Each Ordinary Share and each Zegna Special Voting Share A confers the right to cast one vote, each Zegna Special Voting Share B confers the right to cast four votes and each Zegna Special Voting Share C confers the right to cast nine votes in a Zegna General Meeting. No votes may be cast at a Zegna General Meeting on shares held by Zegna or Zegna’s subsidiaries. Nonetheless, the holders of a right of usufruct in respect of Ordinary Shares are not excluded from the right to vote on such shares, if the right of usufruct or the right of pledge was granted prior to the time such share was acquired by Zegna or any of Zegna’s subsidiaries. Zegna may not cast votes on shares in respect of which Zegna or a subsidiary holds a right of usufruct or a right of pledge. Ordinary Shares which are not entitled to voting rights pursuant to the preceding sentences will not be taken into account for the purpose of determining the number of shares on which votes may be cast, or the amount of the share capital that is present or represented at a Zegna General Meeting. Unless Dutch law or the Zegna Articles of Association state otherwise, all resolutions adopted at the Zegna General Meeting are adopted with a simple majority of the votes cast.
No quorum requirements apply.
Pursuant to Dutch law, when determining the extent to which shareholders vote, are present or represented, or the extent to which the share capital is present or represented, no account shall be taken of shares in respect of which the law or the Zegna Articles of Association provide that no votes may be cast.



Election and Removal of Directors
Zegna Directors are appointed by the Zegna General Meeting on a binding nomination by the Zegna Board, provided that one Zegna Non-Executive Director is appointed on a binding nomination by the IIAC Sponsor if at the time of the convocation of the relevant Zegna General Meeting the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement. The nomination of the Sponsor Nominee by the IIAC Sponsor is subject to the approval of the Zegna Board in its discretion if he or she has not previously served as Zegna Director.
The IIAC Sponsor’s right to make a nomination for one Zegna Non-Executive Director will lapse with immediate effect if the Sponsor Group fails to satisfy the Minimum Holding Requirement, provided that if such failure is not caused by a sale or transfer of Ordinary Shares by any member of the Sponsor Group, the IIAC Sponsor’s nomination right will lapse if such failure continues for a period of 20 trading days from the date on which any member of the Sponsor Group had knowledge of such failure. Upon the termination of the nomination right, the Sponsor Nominee (or any temporary Zegna Director replacing a Sponsor Nominee) shall resign from the Zegna Board with immediate effect at the request of Zegna.
The Zegna General Meeting will at all times be allowed to overrule a binding nomination for the appointment of a Zegna Director by a simple majority of the votes cast, representing more than one-third of Zegna’s issued share capital. If a majority of the votes are cast in favor of overruling the binding nomination, but that majority does not represent more than one third of Zegna’s issued share capital, a new Zegna General Meeting may be convened at which the resolution to overrule the binding nomination may be adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast, regardless of Zegna’s issued share capital represented by that majority.
In the event the binding nomination for the appointment of any Zegna Director other than the Sponsor Nominee is overruled, the Zegna Board is allowed to make a new binding nomination to fill the vacancy. In the event that also this binding nomination is overruled, the Zegna General Meeting shall be free to appoint a Zegna Director to fill the vacancy. In the event the binding nomination for the appointment of the Sponsor Nominee is overruled, the IIAC Sponsor may make a new binding nomination to fill the vacancy, provided that at the time of the convocation of the relevant Zegna General Meeting, the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement.
Each Zegna Director is appointed for a term ending at the close of the first annual Zegna General Meeting following his or her appointment. Each Zegna Director may be reappointed.
The Zegna General Meeting may at all times suspend or dismiss a Zegna Director. Such resolution will require a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast, representing more than half of Zegna’s issued share capital, or, if such resolution is proposed by the Zegna Board, by a simple majority of the votes cast, representing more than half of Zegna’s issued share capital.
Liquidation Rights
Zegna may only be dissolved by a resolution of the Zegna General Meeting at the proposal of the Zegna Board. If Zegna is dissolved and liquidated, whatever remains of Zegna’s equity after all its debts have been satisfied will be divided. Firstly, the balance of the dividend reserve for each class of Zegna Special Voting Shares will be for the benefit of the holders of Zegna Special Voting Shares of that class in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of the class of their Zegna Special Voting Shares. Any balance remaining will be for the benefit of the holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of Ordinary Shares held by each of them.
No Liability to Further Capital Calls
All issued Ordinary Shares have been fully paid up.



Discriminating Provisions
There are no provisions in the Zegna Articles of Association that discriminate against a shareholder because of its ownership of a certain number of shares.
Amendments to the Zegna Articles of Association
A resolution of the Zegna General Meeting to amend the Zegna Articles of Association may only be adopted by the Zegna General Meeting at the proposal of the Zegna Board, which proposal requires the affirmative vote of the Sponsor Nominee if any amendment adversely affects the rights of the IIAC Sponsor specifically, as described in Zegna’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 under “Item 10.B—Memorandum and Articles of Association —Affirmative Vote of the Sponsor Nominee.” A resolution regarding the amendment of the Zegna Articles of Association will require a simple majority of the votes cast.
Exchange Controls
Under Dutch law, there are no exchange control restrictions on investments in, or payments on, the Ordinary Shares. There are no special restrictions in the Zegna Articles of Association or Dutch law that limit the right of shareholders who are not citizens or residents of the Netherlands to hold or vote the Ordinary Shares.
Shareholders Agreement
Concurrently with the Closing, Zegna, Monterubello, Ermenegildo Zegna and the IIAC Sponsor entered into the Shareholders Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, for so long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement, (i) the parties thereto will, and will cause their respective controlled affiliates to, exercise their rights and powers such that the Sponsor Nominee will only be (a) suspended as a Zegna Director if so requested in writing by the IIAC Sponsor unless the Zegna Board reasonably determined that not suspending the Sponsor Nominee would be in breach of the Zegna Board’s fiduciary duties and (b) dismissed as a Zegna Director if so requested in writing by the IIAC Sponsor or in the case of fraud or willful misconduct in the performance of the Sponsor Nominee’s office as a Zegna Non-Executive Director, (ii) Zegna will offer the Sponsor Nominee the opportunity to be proposed to the Zegna Board for appointment to serve on the Audit Committee and/or the Compensation Committee and (iii) the IIAC Sponsor will have the right to participate in certain capital raises of Zegna on the terms and subject to the exceptions contained in the Shareholders Agreement.
For so long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement and subject to the conditions contained in the Shareholders Agreement, Zegna will also (i) consult with the IIAC Sponsor and solicit and consider its views in good faith before (a) entering into any major, transformative acquisition involving a merger with a similarly situated fashion or luxury goods company or (b) determining to pay an extraordinary cash dividend, and (ii) provide access to senior representatives of the IIAC Sponsor to interact with (a) the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Zegna monthly and (b) the Chief Executive Officer of Zegna quarterly, in each case to ask questions about the affairs of Zegna, provided that, in each case, neither Zegna nor its senior representatives shall be under any obligation to disclose any confidential or non-public information.
Reduction of Share Capital
The Zegna General Meeting may resolve to reduce Zegna’s issued share capital by a cancellation of shares or by reducing the nominal value of the shares by amending the Zegna Articles of Association. A resolution to cancel shares may only relate to shares held by Zegna itself or all issued shares of any class of Zegna Special Voting Shares. A resolution to cancel all issued shares of any class of Zegna Special Voting Shares will be subject to approval of the meeting of holders of such class of Zegna Special Voting Shares. Cancellation of a class of Zegna Special Voting Shares will take place without the repayment of the nominal value of the class of Zegna Special Voting Shares, which nominal value will be added to the special capital reserve.



Any reduction of the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares or a class of Zegna Special Voting Shares without repayment must be made pro rata on all such shares. Any reduction of the nominal value of the Zegna Special Voting Shares will take place without repayment.
A resolution of the Zegna General Meeting to reduce the share capital requires a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a Zegna General Meeting if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting. If half or more of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting, such resolution is adopted with a simple majority of the votes cast.
In addition, Dutch law contains detailed provisions regarding the reduction of share capital. A resolution to reduce the issued share capital shall not take effect before a two-month creditor opposition period has lapsed.
Squeeze Out
Pursuant to article 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code, a shareholder who, for his or her own account, holds at least 95% of Zegna’s issued and outstanding share capital may initiate proceedings against the other shareholders jointly for the transfer of their shares to the claimant. The proceedings are held before the Dutch Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) and can be instituted by means of a writ of summons served upon each of the minority shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Dutch Code of Civil procedure (Wetboek van Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering). The Dutch Enterprise Chamber may grant the claim for the squeeze-out in relation to all minority shareholders and will determine the price to be paid for the shares, if necessary after appointment of one to three expert(s) who will offer an opinion to the Dutch Enterprise Chamber on the value to be paid for the shares of the minority shareholders. Once the order to transfer becomes final before the Dutch Enterprise Chamber, the person acquiring the shares must give written notice of the date and place of payment and the price to the holders of the shares to be acquired whose addresses are known to him or her. Unless the addresses of all of them are known to the acquiring person, such person is required to publish the same in a Dutch national daily newspaper.
WARRANTS
As of December 31, 2022 there were 13,416,636 Public Warrants outstanding, each whole warrant exercisable for one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. 6,700,000 Private Placement Warrants were also outstanding. As a result of the Warrant Redemption, there are no Warrants outstanding. Until February 27, 2023, our Public Warrants were listed on the NYSE (trading symbol “ZGN WS”).
The Public Warrants were governed by the Warrant Agreement.
This summary of certain provisions of the Public Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement.
Each whole Public Warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one (1) Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in Section 4 of the Warrant Agreement. The Public Warrants were set to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 17, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Public Warrants did not entitle the holder to any of the rights of the Zegna shareholders, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, the right to vote or the right to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of Zegna Directors.
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company was entitled to redeem the Public Warrants (i) in whole and not in part, (ii) at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that warrant holders would be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive a specified number of Ordinary Shares based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Ordinary Shares, (iii) if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Ordinary Shares equaled or exceeded $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before



sending the notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and (iv) if the last reported sale price of the Ordinary Shares was less than $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before sending the notice of redemption to each warrant holder, the Private Placement Warrants were also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants. For purposes of the foregoing, “fair market value” of the Ordinary Shares means the volume weighted average price of Ordinary Shares during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. The Company was required to provide the warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the end of the 10 trading day period described above.
On January 26, 2023, at the direction of the Company, the warrant agent delivered a notice of redemption to the registered holders of all of the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, indicating that Zegna would redeem all Warrants that remained outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 27, 2023, at a redemption price of $0.10 per Warrant. At and after such time on the redemption date, any Warrants that would remain unexercised would be void and no longer exercisable, and holders of such Warrants would have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such Warrants. On February 10, 2023, at the direction of the Company, the warrant agent delivered a notice to the registered holders of all of the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, indicating that the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares was $11.8471, and that, based on such fair market value and on the number of months to the expiration of the Warrants, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued for each Warrant surrendered pursuant to a cashless exercise would be 0.277 Ordinary Shares.
Following delivery of the notice of redemption as described above, 19,322,846 Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis and 408,667 Warrants were exercised for cash, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 5,761,067 Ordinary Shares; and the 385,123 remaining outstanding Warrants were redeemed on February 27, 2023 for a total redemption price of $38,512.3. Following completion of the Warrant Redemption, there are no Warrants outstanding.
