The objective of LVMH is to be a long-term shareholder of HermГЁs and to contribute to the preservation of the family and French attributes which are at the heart of the global success of this iconic brand.
LVMH fully supports the strategy implemented by the founding family and the management team, who have made the brand one of the jewels of the luxury industry.
LVMH has no intention of launching a tender offer, taking control of HermГЁs nor seeking Board representation.
LVMH holds derivative instruments over 3 001 246 HermГЁs International shares and intends to request their conversion.
LVMH would then hold a total of 18 017 246 Hermès International shares, or 17.1% of its capital. The total cost of this shareholding would, in this case, be €1.45 billion.
