Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

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.
