Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.
