Capri Holdings Limited Acquisition

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry, and Capri. In order to finance the Capri Acquisition, on November 27, 2023, the Company issued $4.50 billion of U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes (the "Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes") and €1.50 billion of Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes (the "Capri Acquisition EUR Senior Notes" and, together with the Capri Acquisition USD Senior Notes, the "Capri Acquisition Senior Notes") which, together with the $1.40 billion of delayed draw unsecured term loan facilities (the "Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities") executed on August 30, 2023, completed the expected financing for the Capri Acquisition. On April 22, 2024, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company and Capri in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, and on October 24, 2024, the Court issued its Opinion and Order granting the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction of the Merger, pending an administrative trial on the merits which was scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024. On October 28, 2024, the Company and Capri filed a Notice of Appeal with respect to the October 24, 2024 Opinion and Order. On November 6, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered an order setting an expedited briefing schedule for the appeal of the decision of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York granting the preliminary injunction of the merger. On November 13, 2024, the Parties entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits thereto and all ancillary agreements contemplated thereby or entered pursuant thereto (the “Termination Date”), effective immediately. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse Capri for its expenses in an amount equal to $45.1 million in cash on November 14, 2024. The Parties also agreed to release each other from claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action and liability relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. Following termination of the Merger Agreement, the Parties and the FTC filed a stipulation withdrawing the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on November 19, 2024 and the Second Circuit dismissed the appeal on November 20, 2024. The Parties and the FTC also filed a Joint Motion to dismiss the complaint in the administrative trial on November 15, 2024 and the FTC dismissed the complaint on December 4, 2024. On November 25, 2024, due to the termination of the Merger Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Capri Acquisition Senior Notes, as supplemented, the Company redeemed all outstanding Capri Acquisition Senior Notes at a redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Capri Acquisition Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the Capri Acquisition Term Loan Facilities were terminated concurrently with the

There have been no significant changes to the Company's market risk or the way the Company manages these exposures as set forth in Part II, Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024. Refer to Note 8, "Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities," Note 11, "Debt," and Note 13, "Investments" included in Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the fiscal quarter-end covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2025 that were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, such as to protect Tapestry, Inc.'s intellectual property rights, litigation instituted by persons alleged to have been injured by advertising claims or upon premises within the Company’s control, contract disputes, insurance claims and litigation, including wage and hour litigation, with present or former employees.

Although the Company's litigation can result in large monetary awards, such as when a civil jury is allowed to determine compensatory and/or punitive damages, the Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material effect on the Company's business or condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material developments with respect to any previously reported proceedings.

However, as previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Capri, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would merge with and into Capri (the “Merger”) with Capri surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("the Capri Acquisition"). On April 22, 2024, the FTC filed a complaint against the Company and Capri in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Capri Acquisition, and on October 24, 2024, the Court issued its Opinion and Order granting the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction of the Merger, pending an administrative trial on the merits which was scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024. On October 28, 2024, the Company and Capri filed a Notice of Appeal with respect to the October 24, 2024 Opinion and Order. On November 6, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered an order setting an expedited briefing schedule for the appeal of the decision of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York granting the preliminary injunction of the Merger. On November 13, 2024, the Company, Merger Sub and Capri (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into a Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the Parties agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, including all schedules and exhibits thereto and all ancillary agreements contemplated thereby or entered pursuant thereto, effective immediately. Following termination of the Merger Agreement, the Parties and the FTC filed a stipulation withdrawing the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on November 19, 2024 and the Second Circuit dismissed the appeal on November 20, 2024. The Parties and the FTC also filed a Joint Motion to dismiss the complaint in the administrative trial on November 15, 2024 and the FTC dismissed the complaint on December 4, 2024.

On December 23, 2024 and January 28, 2025, two separate putative securities class actions were filed by plaintiff shareholders in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Capri and certain of its officers and against Tapestry and certain of its officers, alleging that during the respective class periods (between August 10, 2023 and October 24, 2024), Capri and Tapestry misrepresented and failed to disclose adverse facts about Capri’s business, operations, market dynamics, and the prospects for approval of the Capri Acquisition, which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them. The complaints, which each allege violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, seek unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, and equitable relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters.

Except for below, as of March 29, 2025, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024 filed with the SEC on August 15, 2024.

International trade disputes, including U.S. trade tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, could adversely impact our business.

There has been significant reform in U.S. trade policy with the change in U.S. presidential administration in January 2025. International trade disputes as well as changes and uncertainty regarding international trade and trade policies, including the imposition or threat of imposition of new or increased tariffs or other trade restrictions on goods from the countries where our manufacturers are located could result in a materially adverse impact to our business. During fiscal 2024, the primary manufacturers of Coach products were located in Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and India, and the primary manufacturers of Kate Spade products were located in Vietnam, Cambodia, mainland China, and the Philippines. Increased tariffs or other trade restrictions against these countries, as well as any tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by these countries in retaliation, could limit our ability to manufacture products in countries that have the labor and technical expertise needed. Further, such tariffs or other trade restrictions could require us to absorb costs or try to pass costs onto consumers, which could materially impact our revenue and profitability. In addition, any negative perception of or sentiments towards the U.S., whether in response to changes in tariffs, trade policy or otherwise, could impact the perception of our Company. Our ability to navigate any uncertainty, changes or expansion in tariffs or other trade restrictions could have a material negative impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On May 12, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.50 billion of its outstanding common stock (the "2022 Share Repurchase Program"). Purchases of the Company's common stock under this program were executed through open market purchases, including through purchase agreements under Rule 10b5-1.

On November 13, 2024, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $2.00 billion of outstanding shares of its common stock (the "2025 Share Repurchase Program"). Under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in other transactions, including accelerated share repurchase programs. On November 21, 2024, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (the “ASR Agreements”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Dealers”) to repurchase an aggregate of up to $2.00 billion of the Company’s shares of common stock. Under the ASR Agreements, the Company paid $2.00 billion to the Dealers and received an initial delivery of 28,363,766 shares of the Company's common stock on November 26, 2024. The total number of shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR Agreements will be based on the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock on specified dates during the term of each of the ASR Agreements, less a discount, and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreements. The difference between the initially delivered shares and the total number of shares purchased will be settled in four tranches, no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2026. During the quarter ended March 29, 2025, the Company owed 43,094 shares of common stock related to the settlement of one tranche as a result of the increase in the VWAP of the Company's common stock, which was cash settled for $3.0 million.

As of March 29, 2025 the Company had $800.0 million of additional shares available to be repurchased as authorized under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and no remaining availability to repurchase shares under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended March 29, 2025 under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and the 2025 Share Repurchase Program.

There was no adoption, modification or termination of any Rule 10b5-1 plan or other trading arrangements by our directors and officers during the quarter ended March 29, 2025.
