Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 10, 2025, Capri Holdings Limited (“Capri”) and Prada S.p.A. (“Prada”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Prada has agreed to acquire certain subsidiaries of Capri which operate Capri’s Versace business for an aggregate purchase price of $1.375 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments, including for net indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including (a) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (b) regulatory approvals having been obtained in other specified jurisdictions outside of the United States, (c) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties as of the closing date, subject to materiality qualifications, (d) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Versace business and (e) each party’s performance of its covenants under the Purchase Agreement in all material respects. Prior to the closing, Capri expects to undertake a reorganization of certain of its subsidiaries in order to facilitate the transaction, which is currently anticipated to be structured as an acquisition by Prada of all of the outstanding interests in Capri’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, GIVI Holding S.r.l.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and it contains limited indemnities by the parties for certain matters. Between the time of the entry into the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the transaction, subject to certain exceptions, Capri has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the Versace business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and not to take certain actions with respect to the Versace business without Prada’s prior written consent. At the closing of the transaction, Capri and Prada will enter into a transition services agreement pursuant to which Capri will provide Prada with certain transition services for the periods of time and compensation as set forth therein.

The Purchase Agreement also includes customary termination provisions, including the right of either Capri or Prada to terminate the Purchase Agreement if (a) the closing of the transaction has not occurred by January 12, 2026 (subject to an automatic three month extension under certain circumstances), (b) there is an order or law that makes illegal or prohibits the consummation of the transaction or (c) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period. Capri and Prada have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the closing of the transaction as promptly as practicable, subject to certain additional provisions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing summary has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Capri, Prada or its or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Versace business. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Capri, Prada or its or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Versace business. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Capri’s public disclosures.
