Settlement with French Tax Authorities:

As previously reported, the French Tax Authorities examined the 2012 tax return of Interparfums SA, and in August 2015 issued a $6.9 million tax adjustment. It is the Company’s position that the French Tax Authorities are incorrect in their assessments and the Company believes that it has strong arguments to support its tax positions. The main issues challenged by the French Tax Authorities related to the commission rate and Lanvin royalty rate paid to Interparfums Singapore Pte. and Interparfums (Suisse) SARL, respectively. Interparfums Singapore Pte. and Interparfums (Suisse) SARL are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Interparfums SA. Due to the subjective nature of the issues involved, in April 2016, Interparfums SA reached an agreement in principle to settle the entire matter with the French Tax Authorities. The settlement requires Interparfums SA to pay a tax assessment of $1.9 million covering the issues for not only the 2012 tax year, but also covering the issues for the tax years ended 2013 through 2015. The settlement also includes an agreement as to future acceptable commission and royalty rates, which is not expected to have a significant impact on cash flow. The settlement, which is subject to formal documentation with the French Tax Authorities, was accrued as of March 31, 2016.
