Information   for    Compagnie   Financiere    Richemont ("CFR") "A"
Shareholders – Withholding Tax reclaims

We refer to our SENS announcements of 13 March 2024 and 17 May 2024,
where we explained that Richemont had asked Computershare to provide
withholding tax reclaim forms to all holders for the 2022 and 2023
dividend years. These had been provided by email on 30 November 2023.

Richemont recently paid its 2024 dividend to holders of CFR "A" shares
in South Africa on 30 September 2024. To assist CFR "A" shareholders
in reclaiming their withholding tax under the Swiss South African
double tax agreement, we have asked Computershare to provide the
withholding tax reclaim forms to all holders for the 2024 dividend
year. These forms will be issued on 23 October 2024. However, should
you fail to receive them, please contact Computershare as follows:

Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Ltd
Private Bag X9000
2132 SAXONWOLD
Telephone: 0861 100 935

OR email: wht.richemont@computershare.co.za

who will be happy to provide these to you.

Please note that claimants have three years to submit their claim to
the SFTA, meaning that claims with regard to the 2024 dividend must
be submitted to the SFTA prior to December 31st, 2027.

Computershare and its associate's involvement in the withholding tax
reclaim process is to assist former Richemont DR holders and "A"
shareholders only. They do not accept any responsibility for any delay
or failure by SARS or the SFTA to accept claims for a refund and/or
for any failure, for whatever reason, by the SFTA to pay the refund
and/or any failure by claimants to receive the payment. In the event
of any refusal by SARS or the SFTA to accept the claims or pay the
refunds, holders may take the matter up with the relevant tax
authorities personally as and if appropriate.

Richemont A shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Richemont's
primary listing, and on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Richemont's
secondary listing. Richemont A shares are included in the Swiss Market
Index ('SMI') of leading stocks.
