GENERAL INFORMATION

This proxy statement is being provided to solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Capri Holdings Limited (the “Company,” “Capri Holdings,” “Capri,” “we,” “our” or “us”) for use at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, virtually via webcast by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CPRI2024, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. We expect to first make this proxy statement available, together with a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”), to shareholders on or about July 26, 2024.

INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet in accordance with the rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 15, 2024 (the “Record Date”). All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or to request to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request one in the manner set forth in the Notice. Aligning with our corporate social responsibility objectives, this permits us to conserve natural resources and reduces our printing costs, while giving shareholders a convenient and efficient way to access our proxy materials and vote their ordinary shares.

We intend to mail the Notice on or about July 26, 2024 to all shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the close of business on the Record Date. On that same date, we will also mail a printed copy of this proxy statement, our 2024 Annual Report and form of proxy to certain shareholders who had previously requested printed copies.

WHO MAY VOTE

Only holders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 117,781,894 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

PROXY STATEMENT			TABLE OF CONTENTS

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM

Shareholders may not take action at the Annual Meeting unless there is a quorum present at the meeting. A meeting of shareholders is duly constituted, and a quorum is present, if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50% of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on resolutions of shareholders to be considered at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as described below) will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting for quorum purposes.

BROKER NON-VOTES AND ABSTENTIONS

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares in street name for beneficial owners does not receive instructions from the beneficial owner about how to vote their shares. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, including the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2), and such broker non-votes are counted as shares entitled to vote on such proposal. Based on current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, your broker will NOT be able to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) or the say on pay vote (Proposal No. 3) if you have not provided instructions to your broker. In the absence of voting instructions, broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to vote on Proposals No. 1 or 3, assuming a quorum is obtained. We strongly encourage you to provide instructions to your broker to vote your ordinary shares and exercise your right as a shareholder.

An abstention occurs when a shareholder withholds such shareholder’s vote by checking the “ABSTAIN” box on the proxy card, or similarly elects to abstain via Internet or telephone voting. Abstentions are treated as shares that are entitled to vote and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” a proposal.

VOTE REQUIRED

Proposal No. 1 (Election of Directors):

Under applicable British Virgin Islands law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended, our “Memorandum”), directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote on the proposal that are present at the Annual Meeting and are voted and not abstained, if a quorum is present. Our Memorandum does not provide for cumulative voting. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director nominee, running uncontested, who receives more “AGAINST” than “FOR” votes is required to tender their resignation for consideration by the Governance, Nominating and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. See “Corporate Governance—Director Nomination Process and Elections.”

Proposal No. 2 (Auditor Ratification):

The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, our proposed independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 29, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”), requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote on the proposal that are present at the Annual Meeting and are voted and not abstained, if a quorum is present.

Proposal No. 3 (Say on Pay):

Our Board of Directors is seeking a non-binding advisory vote regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures contained in this proxy statement. Under our Memorandum, the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote on the proposal that are present at the Annual Meeting and are voted and not abstained is required to approve this resolution, if a quorum is present. The vote is non-binding and advisory in nature, but our Compensation and Talent Committee and our Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements, to the extent they can determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting results.

VOTING PROCESS AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

If you are a shareholder of record, you may cast your vote in any of the following ways:

Internet

QR Code

Telephone

Mail

Go to www.proxyvote.com in advance of the Annual Meeting. You will need the 16-digit control number included in your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice.

Scan the QR code included on your proxy card or Notice. You will need the 16-digit control number.

Call (800) 690-6903 and provide your

16-digit control number.

Mark, date, sign and return the proxy card or voting instruction form to the address provided in the proxy materials.

If you attend the Annual Meeting, you may also vote during the webcast using the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice even if you have previously voted via the Internet, QR code or by phone or returned a proxy card by mail, and your vote during the virtual webcast will supersede any vote previously cast. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke the proxy at any time before its use by furnishing to us either a written revocation or a duly executed proxy (via Internet, QR code, telephone or mail) bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting during the webcast. Attendance at the Annual Meeting webcast will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

If your ordinary shares are held in “street name,” meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank or brokerage firm, you will receive voting instructions from your bank or brokerage firm. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and Internet voting will also be offered to shareholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers.

The Company will retain an independent tabulator to receive and tabulate the proxies.

If you submit proxy voting instructions and direct how your shares will be voted, the individuals named as proxies will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. If you submit proxy voting instructions but do not direct how your shares will be voted, the individuals named as proxies will vote your shares:


"FOR"			the election of the three Class I nominees for director (Proposal No. 1)
"FOR"			the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 29, 2025 (Proposal No. 2)
"FOR"			the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal No. 3)

It is not expected that any other matters will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the individuals named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.

ATTENDANCE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

There will not be a physical meeting location. Our Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually via a webcast. Shareholders may attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CPRI2024. We believe a virtual-only meeting format facilitates shareholder attendance and participation by enabling all shareholders to participate fully, equally and without additional cost, using an Internet-connected device from any location around the world.

On the day of the Annual Meeting, you can log in to the Annual Meeting with the control number included on your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice. We recommend that you log in to our virtual meeting platform at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time of the Annual Meeting to ensure that you can access the meeting. If you encounter any technical difficulties with the virtual meeting during the log in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting log in page. Rules governing the conduct of the Annual Meeting will be posted on the virtual meeting platform along with an agenda.

ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL REPORT

The Notice and proxy statement and the 2024 Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com. In the future, instead of receiving copies of the Notice or proxy statement and the annual report in the mail, shareholders may elect to view the proxy materials for our annual meetings on the Internet or to receive proxy materials for our annual meetings by e-mail.

If you are a shareholder of record with ordinary shares registered in your own name, you may enroll in electronic delivery service by contacting Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“EQ”), our transfer agent, at 1-(800) 937-5449 (if calling from the U.S.) or 1-(718) 921-8124 (if calling from outside the U.S.), by following the instructions on their website at https://equiniti.com/us/ast-access/individuals/, or by following the instructions in your Notice, if you currently receive one. If you hold your shares in street name through a bank or brokerage firm, check the information provided to you by your bank or broker or contact your bank or broker for information on electronic delivery service.

Receiving your proxy materials online permits the Company to conserve natural resources in alignment with its corporate social responsibility objectives and saves the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to your home or business, while giving you an automatic link to the proxy voting site.

HOUSEHOLDING

The SEC permits companies to send a single Notice, and for those shareholders that elect to receive a paper copy of proxy materials in the mail, one copy of this proxy statement, together with our 2024 Annual Report, to any household at which two or more shareholders reside, unless contrary instructions have been received, but only if we provide advance notice and follow certain procedures. This “householding” process reduces the volume of duplicate information and reduces printing and mailing expenses. If you are a shareholder of record with ordinary shares registered in your own name and you are interested in consenting to the delivery of a single notice or proxy statement and annual report to your household, you may do so by contacting EQ at the contact information set forth above. If your household has multiple accounts holding our ordinary shares in street name, you may have already received a householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you hold your shares in street name and have any questions concerning the householding process or require additional copies of the Notice, the 2024 Annual Report or this proxy statement. The broker will arrange for delivery of a single set of materials (if requested) or a separate copy of the Notice, and, if so requested, a separate copy of these proxy materials promptly upon your written or verbal request. You may decide at any time to revoke your decision to receive a single copy of the proxy materials for your household, and thereby receive multiple copies of the proxy materials by contacting our transfer agent, if you are a record holder, or your broker, if you hold your ordinary shares in street name.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. We will reimburse brokers, fiduciaries, custodians and other nominees for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our ordinary shares. Solicitation may be undertaken by written or electronic mail, telephone, personal contact, facsimile or other similar means by our directors, officers and employees without additional compensation. We may, but do not currently intend to, hire a third-party proxy solicitor in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting.

TAPESTRY MERGER AGREEMENT

On August 10, 2023, Capri entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Tapestry, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Tapestry”), and Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Tapestry will acquire Capri in an all-cash transaction, with each share of Capri converted into the right to receive $57.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Capri (the “Merger”), with Capri surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tapestry. The Merger has been approved by the boards of directors of Capri and Tapestry and by the shareholders of Capri. Completion of the Merger is subject to, among other customary conditions, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company has received regulatory approval from all countries except for the United States. On April 22, 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to enjoin the Merger (the “Action”). The Company strongly disagrees with the FTC’s decision to file suit and is vigorously defending the Action alongside Tapestry and is working toward completing the Merger. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of litigation with the FTC or that this condition to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied on a timely basis or at all.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 Election of Directors

BOARD COMPOSITION

Our Board of Directors consists of eight members. Our Memorandum provides that our Board of Directors must be composed of between one and twelve members. The number of directors is determined from time to time by a resolution of the directors.


						Board Size ————– Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members. The authorized number of directors may be changed only by our Board of Directors.

John D. Idol, our Chief Executive Officer, serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors. He has primary responsibility for providing leadership and guidance to our Board and for managing the affairs of our Board.

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Pursuant to our Memorandum, our directors are appointed at the annual meeting of shareholders for a period of three years, with each director serving until the third annual meeting of shareholders following their election. Upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors in that class will be elected for three year terms at the annual meeting of shareholders in the year of such expiration. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of our directors.

Marilyn Crouther, Stephen Reitman and Jean Tomlin OBE are Class I directors and their term will expire on the date of the upcoming Annual Meeting. Accordingly, we are nominating Ms. Crouther, Mr. Reitman and Ms. Tomlin for re-election at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of them will serve as a Class I director until our annual meeting of shareholders in 2027 and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of the Company’s then-current directors will be required to resign immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”).

STRONG BOARD LEADERSHIP; INDEPENDENT LEAD DIRECTOR

John D. Idol, our CEO, has been the Chairman of our Board of Directors since shortly before our IPO in December 2011. The Board believes that the Company can most effectively execute its business plans and strategy and drive value for shareholders if Mr. Idol, who has intimate knowledge of our business operations and strategy and extensive experience in the retail industry, serves the combined role of Chairman and CEO. A combined Chairman and CEO serves as a bridge between the Board and management, and provides our Board and Company with unified leadership. The Board believes that Mr. Idol’s unified leadership enables us to better communicate our vision and strategy clearly and consistently across our organization and to our employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.

Mr. Idol’s role as Chairman and CEO is counterbalanced and complemented by a robust independent Lead Director position. Robin Freestone serves as our independent Lead Director and provides strong and independent leadership to the Board. As the Lead Director, Mr. Freestone:

•presides at meetings of the Board in the absence of, or upon the request of, the Chairman, including executive sessions of the non-management directors

•serves as principal liaison to facilitate communications between the other directors and the Chairman, without inhibiting direct communications between the Chairman and the other directors

•consults with the Chairman in the preparation of the annual Board meeting schedule and in determining the need for special meetings of the Board

•suggests to the Chairman agenda items for meetings of the Board and approves the agenda as well as the substance and timeliness of information sent to the Board

•calls meetings of the non-management directors when necessary and appropriate

•leads the evaluation process and provides feedback to the CEO in consultation with the Chair of the Compensation and Talent Committee

•serves as the liaison to shareholders who request direct communications with the Board

•performs such other duties as the Board may from time to time delegate

•assists in optimizing the effectiveness of the Board and ensures that it operates independently of management

In addition to the active and independent leadership that the Lead Director brings to the Board, the independent chairs of each of the Board’s committees provide leadership for matters within the areas of responsibility of their respective committees.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board is required to meet at least quarterly in executive session without management directors or any members of management, whether or not they are directors, present. Our Lead Director presides over executive sessions of the Board of Directors.

INDEPENDENCE OF BOARD

A majority of our directors and each member of our Audit Committee, Compensation and Talent Committee and Governance, Nominating and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee are required to be “independent” within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards and the guidelines for director independence set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Governance, Nominating and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee reviews the independence of all members of the Board for purposes of determining which Board members are independent and which are not. The Governance, Nominating and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee and our Board of Directors affirmatively determined that Marilyn Crouther, Robin Freestone, Judy Gibbons, Mahesh Madhavan, Stephen F. Reitman, Jane Thompson and Jean Tomlin OBE are each independent.

RISK OVERSIGHT

Management is responsible for understanding and managing the risks that we face in our business, and the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing management’s overall approach to risk management. The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of our risks to ensure our risk management policies are consistent with our corporate strategy. The Board regularly reviews the Company’s major strategic, operational, financial, legal and regulatory and reputational risks as well as risks relating to cybersecurity and global information systems and environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters along with potential options for mitigating these risks. The Board is informed of these risks through regular reports from our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer, and other key members of senior management as well as from the Chairs of the Board’s committees. As discussed further below, our Board committees also consider and address risks as they perform their respective committee responsibilities.

One way that risks are evaluated is through an annual survey of leaders and subject matter experts across our company. Each year, our enterprise risk management (ERM) process is managed by Capri’s Risk Management and Internal Audit departments who work together with management to identify and assess the greatest existing and emerging risks that could impact our Company’s operations or ability to achieve our objectives. We assess business risks on several dimensions and create risk profiles based on likelihood of occurrence and impacts to the business. Enterprise risk profiles and related action plans for the most critical risks identified are reviewed with the Audit Committee. Other relevant committees of the Board are also updated regarding our risk analyses, assessments, mitigation strategies and activities with respect to matters under such committee’s oversight.

The Board has delegated to its committees responsibility for elements of the Company’s ERM program that relate specifically to matters within the scope of each such committee’s duties and responsibilities.

The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for oversight of:

•accounting, auditing, internal control and financial-related risks

•the operation of our ERM program

•information systems infrastructure and cybersecurity risk

•risk management, compliance and legal and regulatory matters

The Compensation and Talent Committee is primarily responsible for oversight of:

•the various design elements of our compensation program to determine whether any of its aspects encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking

•the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements

•human capital management risks

See “Compensation and Talent Committee Risk Assessment.”

The Governance Committee is primarily responsible for oversight of:

•risks associated with the independence of the Board

•compliance by the Company with corporate governance policies and rules

•succession planning for the CEO and other key members of senior management

•ESG-related risks

While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports about those risks. The Company believes that the Board and its committees provide appropriate risk oversight of the Company’s business activities and strategic initiatives.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

We are a global company built on the trust of our customers, employees and business partners, and one of the primary ways we maintain that trust is by respecting privacy rights and safeguarding their information. We communicate our brands’ data collection, use and processing practices through clear and comprehensive privacy notices. We empower our data subjects to exercise their privacy rights by contacting us through various channels, and we maintain procedures to honor their requests made pursuant to applicable laws. We believe security is at the center of any strong data privacy program and maintaining cyber-readiness and managing cybersecurity risk continue to be areas of critical focus for us. We continually evaluate our privacy notices, policies and procedures surrounding our handling of personal data and the measures and systems we have in place to help identify, assess, mitigate, respond to and remediate cybersecurity issues or personal data breaches.

Our Board of Directors has delegated primary responsibility for overseeing the management of cybersecurity risks to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee receives regular reports regarding our cybersecurity risks from our head of Global Cybersecurity and Compliance with periodic updates to the full Board as necessary. Our global cybersecurity team, led by our head of Global Cybersecurity and Compliance, is responsible for implementing widely-accepted security standards to help guide our decisions and minimize risks that threaten the protection of personal data, including network and system security tools, third-party service provider assessments, periodic cyber-maturity evaluations, regular training and education programs, and security incident response policies and procedures. We measure the effectiveness of these initiatives in numerous ways, including by performing annual external network penetration tests, engaging external independent advisors to conduct system audits as appropriate, deploying phishing simulation exercises and undergoing cyber-incident table top exercises. We also require that all employees with access to our systems complete an annual cybersecurity and data privacy training to educate our employees on cybersecurity risks.

ESG Risk Management

We believe responsible business practices start from the top, and we recognize the increasing importance of ESG matters to our shareholders, employees, customers and other key stakeholders.

When setting Capri’s CSR strategy, we knew it was critical that sustainability be integrated into our business decisions. One of the first steps we took was to delegate oversight of ESG activities to the Board’s Governance Committee. Our governance structure ensures appropriate supervision of our goal-setting and public reporting process related to ESG matters. On at least an annual basis, our sustainability goals and action plans are presented to the Governance Committee for review and approval, along with regular CSR progress updates. Our sustainability governance model includes a multi-level structure to ensure our Board of Directors, executive management team and business leaders across our brands are aligned on the most important ESG risks and opportunities for Capri.

BOARD EVALUATIONS

The Board believes that an annual, robust Board evaluation process is a critical tool in ensuring strong corporate governance. The Governance Committee has primary oversight of the annual Board evaluation process which assesses whether the Board, its committees and the directors are functioning effectively.

While this formal evaluation process is typically conducted on an annual basis, directors are encouraged to continuously share their perspectives, feedback and suggestions throughout the year. Items requiring implementation and follow-up from the annual Board evaluation process or otherwise are monitored throughout the year by the Board, the applicable committees and management.


Questionnaire			Each director completes a questionnaire, or participates in an interview or other method the Governance Committee utilizes to seek feedback. Results are aggregated and summarized for discussion purposes.
Feedback Discussed			The Chair of the Governance Committee reviews the feedback and discusses opportunities and makes recommendations for improvement as appropriate with the full Board in executive session (without the presence of the Chairman and CEO).

BOARD REFRESHMENT

The Governance Committee recognizes that building and maintaining an effective Board is one of its critical responsibilities, and is continuously focused on aligning Board composition and leadership with the Company’s strategic needs. As part of the refreshment process, the Governance Committee: (i) identifies qualities and skills needed to serve on our Board, (ii) identifies the qualities and skills that each current director possesses, (iii) assesses how the current directors deploy their qualities and skills for our benefit, (iv) determines whether any additional skill sets or other attributes are necessary to fill gaps in the current Board, (v) establishes a Board succession strategy and executes against that strategy, and (vi) performs onboarding and transitioning for new directors. As part of the Governance Committee’s refreshment process, the Governance Committee:

•uses a skills matrix to assess the strengths and needs of the Board in relation to our current business strategy, expected future strategic needs, and the current state of our industry

•reviews the skills matrix, along with individual director demographics, tenure and committee memberships, to determine whether we need to add directors with specific qualities or skills

•considers the disclosures by each director in their annual director and officer questionnaire, including with respect to external commitments

•reviews the annual Board, Committee and director evaluations

•regularly discusses with the full Board refreshment and succession planning

DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS AND ELECTIONS

The Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board in a manner consistent with the criteria approved by the Board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth qualifications and criteria for our directors.

The Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by our executive officers and directors, including our Chairman and CEO, employees and others. In addition, the Governance Committee may engage third-party search firms to identify qualified director candidates. When identifying and evaluating candidates, the Governance Committee determines whether there are any evolving needs of the Board that require an expert in a particular field. The Chair of the Governance Committee and some or all of the members of the Board of Directors (including the Chairman and CEO) will interview potential candidates that the Governance Committee deems appropriate. The Governance Committee will listen to feedback received from those directors that had the opportunity to meet with the potential candidate. If the Governance Committee deems appropriate, it will recommend the nomination of the candidate to the full Board for approval.

The Governance Committee will also consider candidates proposed by shareholders of the Company and all candidates will be evaluated in the same manner regardless of the source of such nomination so long as shareholder nominations are properly submitted to us. Shareholders wishing to recommend persons for consideration by the Governance Committee as nominees for election to the Board must do so in accordance with the procedures set forth under “Proposals of Shareholders for the 2025 Annual Meeting” and in compliance with our Memorandum.

In accordance with the Memorandum, directors must be elected by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote on the election of directors that are present at the meeting and are voted and not abstained. In the event an incumbent director fails to receive a simple majority of the votes in an uncontested election, such incumbent director is required to tender a resignation letter in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Governance Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether such other action should be taken. The Board will act on the resignation, taking into account the Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose its decision regarding the resignation within 90 days following certification of the election results.

The Governance Committee, in making its recommendation, may consider any factors and other information that it considers appropriate and relevant, including, without limitation, the stated reasons why shareholders voted “against” such director, the director’s length of service and qualifications, the director’s contributions to the Company, compliance with applicable NYSE rules and listing standards and the Corporate Governance Guidelines. The incumbent director will remain active and engage in Board activities while the Governance Committee and the Board decide whether to accept or reject such resignation or take other action, but the incumbent director will not participate in deliberations by the Governance Committee or the Board regarding whether to accept or reject the director’s resignation.

CEO PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

The Compensation and Talent Committee, together with the independent Lead Director, has primary oversight of the CEO performance evaluation process. On an annual basis, in consultation and deliberation with the Compensation and Talent Committee, quantitative and qualitative goals and objectives for the CEO are set for the upcoming fiscal year that include three primary areas of performance: Financial Results, Strategic Planning and Operations and Talent Management and Development. After the fiscal year is completed, the Compensation and Talent Committee conducts a performance review with the CEO of his prior year performance in light of the predetermined goals and objectives. While this formal review process happens annually, the independent Lead Director and/or the Chair of the Compensation and Talent Committee and the Chairman and CEO meet as needed during the year to discuss feedback on the CEO’s performance and suggest areas of improvement.

MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Governance Committee has primary oversight of succession planning for the CEO and other members of management. At least annually and updated as necessary, detailed succession plans are reviewed and considered by the Governance Committee and presented to the full Board. The succession-planning process includes both identifying and developing plans for promising internal candidates and identifying external candidates. The plan also includes mid-term and long-term solutions and arrangements in the event an emergency arises. The Board recognizes that management succession planning is one of its key responsibilities.

DIRECTOR ONBOARDING AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

We believe a wide-ranging orientation is important in positioning new directors for success. New directors participate in a corporate, business and financial orientation program that involves substantive individual meetings with senior executives. For example:

•the Chief Executive Officer will brief new directors on current business and strategy

•the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer will speak about our financial and operational performance, capital structure, shareholder base and investor relations

•the General Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer will discuss corporate governance, periodic reporting and sustainability matters

•the Chief People Officer will report on human capital management strategies, key talent and succession planning

In addition, senior executives within each of our brands provide an overview of their respective businesses, divisions or regions. The orientation extends to the Board committees on which a new director will sit, and includes an introductory session with the Chair or other committee members and potentially executives and outside advisors who work with the committee. SEC filings and other information are provided as a background resource. Directors are encouraged to periodically attend appropriate continuing education programs.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

AIRCRAFT TIME SHARING AGREEMENT

We entered into an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement with John D. Idol on December 20, 2022 (which superseded the prior agreement from December 2014) relating to such executive’s personal use of the Company-owned aircraft. Pursuant to the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement, Mr. Idol is permitted to use the Company aircraft with flight crew for personal purposes at no charge to the executive, except that the executive is required to reimburse the Company for the operating expenses of such flights chargeable pursuant to Federal Aviation Regulations. In Fiscal 2024, amounts reimbursed by Mr. Idol to the Company for personal use of the aircraft were $649,820. See “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table—All Other Compensation” for the aggregate incremental costs to the Company of Mr. Idol’s personal aircraft use.

RELATED PERSONS TRANSACTIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

We have adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy (the “Related Person Policy”), which sets forth our policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of certain related party transactions by our Audit Committee. In accordance with the Related Person Policy, our Audit Committee has overall responsibility for the implementation of, and compliance with, the Related Person Policy.

For the purposes of the Related Person Policy, a “related party transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we were, are or will be a participant and in which any related party (as defined in the Related Person Policy) had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related party transaction” does not include any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation resulting solely from that employment relationship that has been reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors or our Compensation and Talent Committee.

The Related Person Policy requires that notice of a proposed related party transaction be provided to our Legal Department prior to entering into such transaction. If our Legal Department determines that such transaction is a related party transaction, the proposed transaction will be submitted to our Audit Committee for consideration at its next meeting. Under the Related Person Policy, our Audit Committee may approve only those related party transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests. In the event that we become aware of a related party transaction that has not been previously reviewed and approved or ratified under the Related Person Policy and that is ongoing or has been completed, the transaction will be submitted to the Audit Committee so that it may determine whether to ratify, rescind or terminate the related party transaction.

The Related Person Policy also provides that our Audit Committee will review certain previously approved or ratified related party transactions that are ongoing to determine whether the related party transaction remains in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders. Additionally, we also make periodic inquiries of executive officers and directors with respect to any potential related party transaction of which they may be a party or of which they may be aware (including through annual director and officer questionnaires).

Audit Committee Report

The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the related internal controls. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the fair presentation of those financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, performing reviews of the unaudited quarterly financial statements and auditing and expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

During Fiscal 2024, the Audit Committee met and held discussions with management, the internal auditor and the independent registered public accounting firm and met independently as a committee. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. These discussions included a review of the reasonableness of significant judgments, the quality, not just acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s financial reporting procedures, disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting, including the respective reports of management and the independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm all matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the firm’s independence. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. In performing its functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of the Company’s management, internal audit group and independent registered public accounting firm.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024, for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

It is the policy of the Audit Committee to pre-approve all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policy, the Audit Committee is generally required to pre-approve the provision by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm of specific audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services, subject to the fee limits established from time to time by the Audit Committee, as being consistent with auditor independence.

All services provided by EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Representatives of EY are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they wish.

VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote on this proposal that are present at the Annual Meeting and are voted and not abstained, as well as the presence of a quorum representing a majority of all of our outstanding ordinary shares, either in person or by proxy. As this proposal is considered “routine” under applicable NYSE rules, we do not anticipate any broker non-votes on this Proposal No. 2. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.


Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 29, 2025.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

RESULTS OF 2023 SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY VOTE

On August 2, 2023, at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our say on pay proposal passed with approximately 92.8% of the votes cast in favor of our executive compensation program.

FISCAL 2024 SAY ON PAY PROPOSAL

We are submitting to our shareholders for approval a non-binding resolution to ratify named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation.” This proposal gives our shareholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, our executive pay program and policies through the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosures contained in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.”

Our compensation structure is centered on a pay for performance philosophy, and this pay for performance focus is designed to align the interests of our executives and our shareholders, motivate and retain our executives to achieve our targeted financial and other performance objectives, reward them for their achievements when those objectives are met or exceeded, and to provide for reductions in compensation when results fall below target and no incentive compensation if results do not achieve a threshold level of performance. With these principles in mind, we structure our compensation program as a competitive total pay package, which we believe allows us to attract, retain and motivate executives with the skills and knowledge we require and promote the stability of our management team, which we view as vital to the success of our business. We believe that a vote in favor of the compensation of our named executive officers is warranted.

VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION

Approval of the above resolution requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote on this proposal that are present at the Annual Meeting and are voted and not abstained, as well as the presence of a quorum representing a majority of all of our outstanding ordinary shares, either in person or by proxy. The vote is advisory and non-binding in nature, but our Compensation and Talent Committee and our Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements, to the extent they can determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting results. Ordinary shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on Proposal No. 3 and will not affect the outcome of this matter assuming a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

In the event that the Merger is not consummated, our next say on pay vote is expected to take place at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.


Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the advisory resolution on executive compensation.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS			TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Executive Officer Appointment

Cedric Wilmotte was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of Michael Kors effective April 3, 2023, and is responsible for driving Michael Kors’ strategy, execution and business results. In connection with his appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Wilmotte which provides for the payment of a competitive base salary, participation in our annual cash incentive program (the “Cash Incentive Plan”) with his actual annual cash incentive determined based on Company performance, and eligibility for long-term incentive awards under our annual equity incentive program. See “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with our Named Executive Officers—Cedric Wilmotte.” In connection with his appointment, Mr. Wilmotte’s annual cash incentive for Fiscal 2024 was guaranteed at 200% of Mr. Wilmotte’s base salary (reflecting his maximum target cash incentive opportunity) and was payable to Mr. Wilmotte as follows: (i) $1,000,000 in the first pay period following his start date with the Company and (ii) $1,000,000 on June 30, 2024 or such earlier date as the Fiscal 2024 payment under the Cash Incentive Plan is actually paid to other similarly situated executives. The Company agreed to this guaranteed cash incentive payment in order to incentivize Mr. Wilmotte to accept this new role and for retentive purposes. Mr. Wilmotte was required to repay in full the portion of the Fiscal 2024 annual cash incentive advanced to him at the start of his employment if his employment was terminated under certain circumstances on or before the date that was twelve months following his start date. Mr. Wilmotte was also granted equity in connection with his hiring that was solely in the form of time-based restricted share units (“RSUs”) with a three year vesting period in order to drive retention and engagement while aligning the interests of Mr. Wilmotte with the interests of our shareholders.

Our Fiscal 2024 Executive Compensation Program and Results

Our executive compensation plan design emphasizes pay for performance and is designed to promote responsible pay and governance practices that align with the interests of our shareholders. Total compensation packages for our NEOs continued to emphasize short-term and long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards that are paid out only if we achieve specific financial and operational targets, and equity awards that are linked to movements in share value.

Overall, we were disappointed with our Fiscal 2024 performance which was below our expectations. Reflected below are the key highlights for Fiscal 2024:

•Revenue was $5.17B (down 8.0% from the prior fiscal year)

•Adjusted operating income was $518.0 million (down 43.0% from the prior fiscal year)

•Adjusted net income was $413.0 million (down 49.7% from the prior fiscal year)

•Adjusted earnings per share was $3.50

•Free cash flow was $120.0 million

As a result, and consistent with our short and long-term incentive plans, our Compensation and Talent Committee took the following compensation actions with respect to Fiscal 2024 performance:

•None of our NEOs received merit salary increases or market adjustments

•None of our NEOs received any increase in target or maximum annual cash incentive opportunities, and, except with respect to Mr. Wilmotte as discussed above, actual annual cash incentive payouts under the Cash Incentive Plan equaled 20% of each executive’s target annual cash incentive opportunity based on significant and quantifiable progress towards our ESG goals

•Long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards granted to our NEOs in Fiscal 2025 but attributable to Fiscal 2024 performance were reduced by an average of approximately 24.4%. These awards were granted solely in the form of time-based RSUs in lieu of performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) due to the pending Merger. Notwithstanding this change, performance-based components continue to represent a significant portion of target direct compensation for the NEOs (see “Compensation Framework” below). These LTI awards provide for pro rata vesting in the event that an executive is involuntarily terminated without cause or resigns for Good Reason (as defined in an executive’s employment or similar agreement) within 24 months of a change in control (which includes the Merger), unless the executive is retirement eligible under the Incentive Plan

•One-third of the PRSUs granted in June 2023 that have a performance measurement period concluding at the end of Fiscal 2024 were determined to have been attained at 0% and therefore will be unearned as of the vesting date

TABLE OF CONTENTS			COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Total compensation decreased by an average of approximately 33% for our NEOs in Fiscal 2024 as reflected in the below table:


Named Executive Officer	Fiscal 2024 Total Compensation ($)(1)	Fiscal 2023 Total Compensation ($)(1)	% Decrease

1.Gives effect to equity incentive awards granted in the subsequent fiscal year that are attributable to performance in the most recently ended fiscal year and excludes new hire grants. See “Equity Incentive Compensation—Timing of Equity Awards.” Amounts reported as total compensation in this column differ substantially from the amounts determined under SEC rules and reported as total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year. This amount is not a substitute for total compensation.

Compensation Matters Related to Merger Agreement

Equity Treatment under the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement provides for the following treatment of outstanding equity grants at the Effective Time:


Capri Options with Exercise Price Greater than or Equal to the Merger Consideration			Will be converted automatically into an option to purchase shares of Tapestry common stock, adjusted based on the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
Capri Options with Exercise Price Less than the Merger Consideration			Will be cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price applicable to the Capri Option

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS			TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each Capri award converted to a Tapestry equity award will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment) as applied to the corresponding Capri equity award.

Special Bonus Awards

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Capri entered into a letter agreement with each of its NEOs providing that, subject to the executive officer actively working toward the completion of all requirements necessary to consummate the Merger and remaining employed through the closing of the Merger, the NEO will be eligible to receive a special one-time cash bonus award (which we refer to as the “Special Bonus Awards”) equal to their current base salary. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, without Capri entering into a subsequent transaction agreement (as defined in the Special Bonus Award agreement) or the executive officer’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the closing of the Merger, the executive officer’s eligibility to receive the Special Bonus Award will automatically terminate and the right to the Special Bonus Award will be forfeited.

Tax Mitigating Actions

Under the Merger Agreement, if the Effective Time was not reasonably expected to occur in calendar 2023, Capri (in consultation with Tapestry) was permitted to implement tax planning strategies for the purpose of mitigating the impact of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and thereby preserve certain compensation-related tax deductions that might otherwise be disallowed. On December 15, 2023, following approval by the Compensation and Talent Committee, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Ms. Hendricks pursuant to which Ms. Hendricks was paid certain amounts of compensation in the 2023 calendar year to which she would otherwise become entitled either (i) in 2024 or (ii) at or in connection with the Effective Time, for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the excise tax imposed under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code that would be imposed on amounts payable to her in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and preserving certain compensation-related tax deductions described in the preceding sentence. The letter agreement provided for the vesting of the Capri time-based RSU awards that were otherwise scheduled to vest in 2024 and the payment of the Special Bonus Award granted to Ms. Hendricks in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the severance payable pursuant to the Change in Control Continuity Agreement between Capri and Ms. Hendricks. Pursuant to the letter agreement, Ms. Hendricks will be required to pay to Capri the gross value of the payments (in the case of the RSUs, based on the fair market value of the ordinary shares delivered (determined as set forth in the letter agreement)) to which she would not otherwise have been entitled if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without Capri entering into a subsequent transaction agreement (as defined in the letter agreement) or her employment terminates (or continues) under certain circumstances.

COMPENSATION DESIGN

Compensation Objectives

Capri Holdings is a global fashion luxury group, consisting of iconic, founder-led brands Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors. Our commitment to glamorous style and craftsmanship is at the heart of each of our luxury brands. We have built our reputation on designing exceptional, innovative products that cover the full spectrum of fashion luxury categories. Our strength lies in the unique DNA and heritage of each of our brands, the diversity and passion of our people and the dedication to the clients and communities we serve. For our shareholders, we expect this will translate into long-term earnings and revenue growth across our brands. We believe that to be successful we need to provide a diverse and inclusive environment and a culture that attracts, retains and motivates employees to operate at their highest level.

These objectives are reflected in our executive compensation program which is centered on a pay for performance philosophy designed to align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders, motivate and retain our executives to achieve targeted financial and other performance objectives, reward them for their achievements when those objectives are met or exceeded, and likewise, reduce compensation when results fall below expectations.

FISCAL 2024 COMPENSATION

Base Salary

We believe competitive base salaries are necessary to attract and retain qualified, high-performing executives. The Compensation and Talent Committee reviews salaries annually, or as required, and considers whether any increase is warranted based on an executive’s role, responsibilities, performance, experience, expected future contributions and the base salary of similarly situated executives at our selected competitors.

No merit increases were awarded in Fiscal 2024 to our NEOs. The base salaries of our NEOs as of the last day of Fiscal 2024 were as follows:


Named Executive Officer			Fiscal 2024 Base Salary Rate ($)
John D. Idol			1,350,000
Thomas J. Edwards, Jr.			800,000
Jenna Hendricks			500,000
Krista A. McDonough			550,000
Cedric Wilmotte			1,000,000

Incentive Compensation

Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive

Each year the Compensation and Talent Committee establishes a target annual cash incentive opportunity, defined as a percentage of base salary as of the last day of the fiscal year, for each NEO. The amount earned can range from 0 to 200% of target depending on the role and based on the achievement of specific and measurable short-term performance goals. There were no increases to annual cash incentive targets or maximums for our NEOs in Fiscal 2024.


	Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive (% of Salary)
Named Executive Officer	Target	Maximum
John D. Idol	200%	400%
Thomas J. Edwards, Jr.	100%	200%
Jenna Hendricks	50%	100%
Krista A. McDonough	50%	100%
Cedric Wilmotte(1)	100%	200%

1. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement entered into in connection with his hiring, Mr. Wilmotte was guaranteed an annual cash

incentive for Fiscal 2024 at the maximum level.

In Fiscal 2024, when identifying performance metrics and setting performance goals, the Compensation and Talent Committee referenced the Company’s operating budget as one way to align compensation with our strategic priorities, with target set equal to budget. The budget itself reflects a rigorous assessment of projected performance, informed by our strategic and operational initiatives, prior year performance and broader general industry trends that could impact the business positively or negatively.

Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive Financial Performance Measures

The financial performance measures, target values and financial results established by the Compensation and Talent Committee for Fiscal 2024 under the Cash Incentive Plan appear below:


		Fiscal 2024 Award Financial Targets(1)			Year-End Results	NEO Weighted Payout as a % of Target
	Weighting	Threshold	Target	Maximum
		(dollars in millions)
Free Cash Flow	50%	$550.0	$650.0	$750.0	$120.0	—%
Adjusted Operating Income(2)	40%	$810.0	$900.0	$1,045.0	$518.0	—%
Total Weighted Payout as a % of Target						—%

1.Payouts between threshold and maximum are calculated on an interpolated basis.

2.The performance measures used under the Cash Incentive Plan that were approved at the beginning of the performance period provided for certain non-GAAP adjustments so that performance measures would more consistently reflect underlying business operations as compared to the corresponding GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial results may differ from those disclosed as adjusted, non-GAAP measures in our public filings as additional items may be excluded in accordance with the terms of our Incentive Plan. These non-GAAP measures and adjustments may also be different from non-GAAP measures and adjustments used by other companies.

The Compensation and Talent Committee believes that free cash flow and operating income are appropriate measures of Company performance since cash flow assesses the amount of cash that the Company generates and operating income assesses profitability, including the effects of our strategic and capital plans. Each of these performance measures also reflect metrics commonly used by investors. For Fiscal 2024, threshold financial performance was not attained with respect to either financial metric, and therefore, the Cash Incentive Plan paid out at 0% of target for these performance measures.

Individualized ESG Goals

Our CSR strategy has always been about focusing our energy and resources where we can make the greatest impact on our world, our community and our philanthropic work. In Fiscal 2024, 10% of leadership’s target annual cash incentive compensation was tied to individualized ESG goals designed to hold our executives accountable for reducing the impact our operations have on the environment, as well as to incentivize management to foster a more diverse and inclusive workforce while continuing to give back to communities and people in need. Actual weighting can range from 0-20% of the target annual cash incentive depending on the level at which executive meets or exceeds, or fails to meet, their ESG objectives. These objectives vary by executive, are not stated in quantitative terms, and a particular weighting is not assigned to any one individual ESG goal. The ESG goals are not established in terms of how difficult or easy they are to attain, but rather, they are used in assessing the overall quality of the individual’s achievement of each applicable ESG objective. For executives other than the CEO, individual ESG performance against their annual ESG objectives and the corresponding payout percentage are based on the CEO’s recommendations and assessment. For the CEO, individual ESG performance and the corresponding payout percentage is based on the Compensation and Talent Committee’s assessment of Mr. Idol’s performance against his annual ESG goals. The Compensation and Talent Committee then prepares a recommendation to the full Board who considers the Compensation and Talent Committee’s recommendation and approves the final individual ESG performance payout percentage for the CEO. It was determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee, in the case of Mr. Idol, and by the CEO, in the case of all other NEOs, that significant and quantifiable progress was made toward our ESG goals and that each NEO exceeded their Fiscal 2024 ESG objectives resulting in an overall assessment of individual performance at the maximum level. This determination was reached by considering ESG achievements, including:

•Achieved Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction science-based targets and reduced GHG emissions from finished products by 30%*(from 2019 baseline)

•Procured 68% of worldwide electricity from renewable energy sources

As a result of these ESG significant achievements, in Fiscal 2024 the total weighted payout under the Cash Incentive Plan as a percentage of target was 20.0%. We are pleased with the progress we have made towards our CSR goals over the past year and look forward to continuing to share the work we are doing to care for the world around us.

Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive Payments

As a result of the above performance, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved the following annual cash incentive payments in accordance with the Cash Incentive Plan:


Named Executive Officer	Annual Cash Incentive Award as a % of Base Salary	Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive ($)
John D. Idol	40%	540,000
Thomas J. Edwards, Jr.	20%	160,000
Jenna Hendricks	10%	50,000
Krista A. McDonough	10%	55,000
Cedric Wilmotte(1)	200%	2,000,000

1. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement entered into in connection with his hiring, Mr. Wilmotte was guaranteed an annual cash

incentive for Fiscal 2024 at the maximum level.

Equity Incentive Compensation

The use of equity-based compensation enables us to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders, reward for performance that is reflected in our share price increases and provides a balance to our annual Cash Incentive Plan which focuses on short-term objectives. Equity that vests over multiple years also fosters a long-term commitment that aids in the retention of our senior executives.

For Fiscal 2024, our target equity awards comprised an equal mix of PRSUs and time-based RSUs. The Compensation and Talent Committee believes the mix of long-term equity incentive awards is appropriate because the value of the RSUs is tied to our share price, RSUs assist in our ability to retain key executives in a highly competitive market for talent, and we remain focused on the attainment of our long-term growth plan through the multi-year performance goals for PRSUs which aligns the interests of our executives with our shareholders.


50% Performance-Based Restricted Share Units (PRSUs)
•Vest after three years based on the achievement of pre-established goals •Fiscal 2023 PRSUs performance measured cumulatively over three years, and Fiscal 2024 PRSUs measured annually for each year in the performance period •Subject to three-year continued employment requirement •Depending on performance, the number of shares earned range from 0—200% of the target award (with threshold performance equal to 50% of the target number of shares) •Performance targets set with reference to operating plan and, commencing in Fiscal 2024, set using a standard annual growth rate over the prior year actuals for each year measured

Timing of Awards

Typically, the target equity award value with respect to a fiscal year is approved shortly following the end of the fiscal year, and then granted in Q1 of the following fiscal year. This means that the awards captured in our Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table were established based on Fiscal 2023 performance, and granted in June 2023. This is illustrated below in the context of our overall compensation framework.

3.PRSUs vest in the June following the end of the applicable performance period subject to executive’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date unless the executive dies, becomes permanently disabled or is retirement eligible under the Incentive Plan.

June 2023 Equity Incentives

The equity incentive awards that were made in June 2023 (based on performance in Fiscal 2023) were comprised of 50% time-based RSUs and 50% PRSUs except for Mr. Wilmotte who as awarded solely time-based RSUs as part of his new hire compensation package. The time-based RSUs vest ratably in equal amounts on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant except for Mr. Wilmotte’s new hire grant which vests ratably in equal amounts on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The PRSUs will vest after three years subject to the attainment of pre-established three year performance goals that will be measured annually for each year in the performance period, using a standard annual growth rate over the prior year actuals for each year measured. The grant date fair value and percentage of RSUs and PRSUs granted to each NEO are reflected in the table below. Mr. Idol and Mr. Edwards did not receive any increase in their award value, which has been unchanged since the Fiscal 2021 awards made in June 2021. Ms. Hendricks and Ms. McDonough both received an increase of $250,000 in their award value to ensure their total target compensation remained competitive with the market. Their award values had similarly been unchanged since June 2021. Mr. Wilmotte’s award value was determined in connection with his hiring. Despite relating to the prior fiscal year in the case of Mr. Idol, Mr. Edwards, Ms. Hendricks and Ms. McDonough, given the timing of grant, these awards are captured in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table:

1.Reflects estimated long-term equity incentive value. Because SEC disclosure rules require that we only include the grant date fair value of share-based long-term equity incentive awards actually granted in the applicable fiscal year, our long-term equity incentive awards made in Fiscal 2024 (June 2023) in respect of Fiscal 2023 performance appear in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table. See “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table” for the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (disregarding any forfeiture assumptions).

June 2024 Equity Incentives

As discussed above, the equity incentive awards that were made in June 2024, following the end of the fiscal year and based on the individual executive’s performance in Fiscal 2024, will be included in our Fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table. These equity incentive awards were granted solely in the form of time-based RSUs in lieu of PRSUs due to the pending Merger. Notwithstanding this change, performance-based components continue to represent a significant portion of target direct compensation for the NEOs (see “—Compensation Design—Compensation Framework”). These awards provide for pro rata vesting in the event that executive is involuntarily terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in executive’s employment or similar agreement) within 24 months of a change in control (which includes the Merger), unless the executive is retirement eligible under the Incentive Plan. Due to Fiscal 2024 performance below our expectations, the grant date fair value of the long-term incentive awards granted in June 2024 were reduced by an average of approximately 24.4% for our NEOs from the prior year as set forth in the table below:


Named Executive Officer	Long-Term Incentive Value ($)(1)	Restricted Share Units (RSUs) (%)	Decrease From Prior Year (%)
John D. Idol	7,000,000	100	18

COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE

Role of the Compensation and Talent Committee

The Compensation and Talent Committee is comprised solely of independent directors and is chaired by Jean Tomlin OBE. The Compensation and Talent Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the CEO’s compensation, including target compensation levels, the corporate goals and objectives on which variable compensation is based, evaluating performance and approving pay outcomes. With respect to the compensation of our other NEOs, the Compensation and Talent Committee reviews such executive officers’ compensation levels and makes recommendations to the full Board for approval. Mr. Idol also makes recommendations to the Compensation and Talent Committee with respect to the compensation levels of the other NEOs given his direct knowledge of their performance and contributions.

The Compensation and Talent Committee meets several times a year (in some cases, multiple times per quarter) and follows a regular calendar of reviewing and approving compensation related matters. In general, our timeline consists of the following:

Role of Consultants and Advisors

The Compensation and Talent Committee has the sole authority to retain or terminate advisers to the Compensation and Talent Committee that assist in the evaluation of the compensation of our NEOs and our directors. In Fiscal 2024, the Compensation and Talent Committee retained WTW as its independent compensation consultant. In this capacity, WTW provides the Compensation and Talent Committee with market data on executive compensation levels and practices at our selected competitors, advises on trends and best practices in the areas of executive compensation and governance, assists in the review and evaluation of our compensation policies and practices, reviews our compensation discussion and analysis, and provides independent advice on director compensation. WTW is prohibited from providing other services to the Company or our management, except at the direction or approval of the Compensation and Talent Committee. In Fiscal 2024, and with the approval of the Compensation and Talent Committee, WTW provided the Company with risk and insurance brokering services, including management and consulting services related to our wholly-owned captive insurance entity, with total fees of approximately $943,610. The Compensation and Talent Committee has determined that its executive compensation consulting team at WTW is independent and that no conflicts exist.

Say On Pay

The Compensation and Talent Committee considers the feedback of our shareholders an important factor in reviewing executive compensation. Prior to the announcement of the pending Merger, management would conduct quarterly meetings with our major shareholders following earnings calls, and while executive compensation is not a focal point, these meetings provided a forum for our major shareholders to provide feedback. Additionally, the Compensation and Talent Committee considers the results of our annual advisory say on pay vote when reviewing executive compensation. At our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 92.8% of votes were cast in favor of our executive compensation program, demonstrating widespread support for our current programs and practices.

Considerations in Setting Compensation

In assessing executive compensation and approving target pay, the Compensation and Talent Committee bases its decisions on our compensation philosophy, including the following factors:


50			CAPRI HOLDINGS LIMITED


TABLE OF CONTENTS			COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Individual performance evaluations	Scope and nature of responsibility	Experience	Expected future contributions
Retention concerns	Company and business unit performance	Market data at select competitors	Employment agreement terms

One of the factors considered is practices at select competitors where compensation data is available, recognizing that many of our competitors are privately held or traded on a non-U.S. stock exchange and are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as us. Given this is just one of several factors considered, we do not target any specific market percentile because our Compensation and Talent Committee believes that NEO compensation should reflect a broader and more holistic perspective, particularly our overall financial performance. This is reflected in both our pay levels and pay mix, with a significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation provided in the form of at-risk variable compensation, which we believe is appropriate given their ability to influence our overall performance and execute our key growth strategies.

The Use of Market Data

Practices at a selection of our competitors who are required to disclose executive compensation are one of the factors considered in assessing and setting the total compensation levels for our NEOs.

Our compensation peer group comprises companies with broadly similar characteristics including:

•Industry focus: retail accessories and/or apparel companies

•Brand value: one or more strong consumer brands

•Relative scale: comparable size with reference to revenue, net income and market capitalization

•General relevance: similar stage of development and subject to similar economic factors

The composition of the peer group is reviewed periodically and is determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee, considering input from WTW, its independent compensation consultant. Following a regular review of the existing peer group by WTW, the Compensation and Talent Committee approved the same 15 company peer group as was used in the prior fiscal year for Fiscal 2024.

Understanding compensation practices at these peer companies listed below enables the Compensation and Talent Committee to understand the relative competitiveness of our compensation in a highly competitive industry and guide compensation decisions in the context of our compensation philosophy.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS			TABLE OF CONTENTS

Performance Goal Setting and Assessment

For us to successfully link pay and performance, it is important that performance goals are set appropriately. At the beginning of each fiscal year, we engage in a thorough process to develop an internal annual operating budget. This budget reflects anticipated revenues and expenses for the fiscal year, taking into account known strategic and operational initiatives, informed by prior year performance and broader general industry trends that could impact the business positively or negatively. This internal operating budget is directly related to the guidance that we historically provided to investors at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Compensation and Talent Committee generally aligns target annual cash incentive metrics with the annual operating budget, and and establishes ranges for threshold and maximum performance around target, to align pay with performance. See “—Fiscal 2024 Compensation—Incentive Compensation—Fiscal 2024 Annual Cash Incentive.”

Following the conclusion of the fiscal year, the Compensation and Talent Committee determines the degree of achievement in respect of the financial performance goals relative to the pre-established targets based on our final audited financial statements. As part of this determination, the Compensation and Talent Committee has the authority, based on previously approved adjustment guidelines, to make adjustments to the financial performance goals to omit, among other permitted adjustments under the Incentive Plan, the effect of unbudgeted extraordinary items (including increased expenditures resulting from unanticipated strategic events or due to revenues in excess of budget), unusual or infrequently occurring events and transactions (such as acquisitions or business interruption events), and cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles. This ensures that our executives will not be unduly influenced in their decision-making because they would neither benefit nor be penalized as a result of certain unexpected and uncontrollable or strategic events that may positively or negatively affect the performance metrics in the short-term. As a result, adjusted metrics under the Incentive Plan may differ from as reported adjusted financial metrics disclosed in our public filings. Having reached a determination, the Compensation and Talent Committee recommends that the Board approve performance-based incentives to our executive officers at the corresponding levels, who in turn approve the incentives for each of the NEOs.

Compensation and Risk

The Compensation and Talent Committee periodically reviews with management the design elements of our compensation program to determine whether any of its aspects encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking, particularly as it pertains to our NEOs. In conducting this assessment, the Compensation and Talent Committee evaluates a range of factors including pay mix, the range of performance metrics used, the performance goals, ranges and vesting schedules, how performance results are certified, our performance evaluation processes, and our leadership culture and values. In addition, consideration is given to the design of our risk mitigation policies detailed below. See “Compensation and Talent Committee Risk Assessment.”

Clawback Policy

We believe that having the ability to recover compensation in defined situations enables the Company to ensure incentive payments align with the long-term shareholder experience and deters behavior that could harm the business. The Company’s clawback policy complies with NYSE listing standards.

TABLE OF CONTENTS			COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Clawback Policy

Covered compensation

•Earned annual cash compensation

•Awarded performance-based long-term incentives

•Any other compensation based on attaining financial measures

Individuals

•Certain covered employees, which includes NEOs

Triggers

•Accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including accounting restatement to correct a material error in previously issued financial statements, or that involves an error in the current period that would result in a material misstatement if corrected or left uncorrected

Time horizon

•Three years from the first issuance of such financial results

Recovery of erroneously awarded compensation

•“No fault” basis and must occur (subject to limited exceptions) regardless of whether the covered employee engaged in misconduct or was otherwise involved

•May occur through reimbursement, recoupment, compensation offset, cancelling of equity awards, or any other recovery or remedial action permitted by law

•No indemnification or insurance permitted to fund potential clawback obligations

Related powers

•Employment agreement: Similar powers with respect to the clawback of annual cash incentive compensation paid or awarded in the employment agreement with Mr. Idol (see “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers”)

In addition, our long-term incentive award agreements provide additional protections related to the breach of post-employment covenants, which we view as a necessary element of our incentive program as it deters activities that would likely cause significant competitive harm to our business. The terms provide that all vested share-based awards will be forfeited automatically under the Incentive Plan upon a breach by executive of any of the post-employment covenants such as employee or customer non-solicitation or non-disclosure obligations to which they are subject. The executive would be required to forfeit or repay any compensation previously received on exercise or settlement of the award in connection with any such breach.

Share Ownership Guidelines

We believe that it is important for our executive officers to have a meaningful ownership stake in our Company in order to further align their financial interests with those of our shareholders, encouraging the creation of sustainable long-term growth. Guidelines are expressed as a multiple of salary, and newly appointed executive officers have five years from their date of hire to accumulate the required level. Compliance is determined annually based on share ownership as of the first day of the fiscal year, using the average share price for the preceding fiscal year. All NEOs employed as of the last day of the fiscal year were in compliance with their respective guideline as of the measurement date, except for Mr. Wilmotte who has until April 2028 to meet the guideline.

1.Includes vested and unvested time-based RSUs, exercisable options whose strike price is greater than the Company’s share price as of the measurement date and other shares owned in private investment or savings plan accounts for purposes of determining compliance with the guidelines.

2.Mr. Wilmotte has until April 2028 to meet the guideline.

If an executive is not in compliance with the share ownership guidelines, they are expected to hold 50% of their after-tax shares as they vest until compliance is attained. For a description of the share ownership guidelines applicable to our non-employee directors, see “Director Compensation—Director Share Ownership Guidelines.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Severance Protection and Change in Control

In order to attract and retain the services of our NEOs and assure their continued service, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of them that specify the terms of employment, including certain compensation levels and certain severance benefits. For John D. Idol, cash severance pursuant to his employment agreement is equal to two-times the sum of base salary plus the annual cash incentive paid or payable in respect of the most recently completed fiscal year. For Thomas J. Edwards, Jr., Jenna Hendricks, Krista A. McDonough and Cedric Wilmotte, cash severance pursuant to their respective employment agreements is limited to one-times base salary plus the pro rata annual cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs based on (i) in the case of Mr. Edwards, Ms. Hendricks and Ms. McDonough, the actual level of performance during such fiscal year and (ii) in the case of Mr. Wilmotte, his target annual cash incentive.

The Company also entered into Change in Control Continuity Agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) with each of Mr. Edwards, Ms. Hendricks, Ms. McDonough and Mr. Wilmotte in order to encourage the retention and focus of these executives in the event of any potential change in control, and to reflect contemporary market practice. Cash severance for these executives pursuant to the CIC Agreements is equal to two-times the sum of such executive’s annual base salary and target annual cash incentive. The payments and benefits provided under the CIC Agreements are “double trigger” and are not payable upon the termination of the executive officer’s employment for Cause, by a resignation by the executive officer without Good Reason or any termination of the executive officer’s employment prior to a “change in control” (in each case as defined in the CIC Agreements). Completion of the Merger will constitute a change in control under the CIC Agreements.

No NEO has any right to receive a tax gross up for any “golden parachute” excise tax. We believe the severance benefits provided, which are the result of negotiations between the parties, are commercially reasonable and typical of the rights afforded to similarly situated executives in other companies of similar size operating in the retail accessories and/or apparel industry. For a detailed description of the severance protections contained in each NEO’s employment agreement and the CIC Agreements, and the estimated amounts payable to each NEO in the event of termination or a change in control, see “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control.”

Additional terms related to a change in control are captured in our Incentive Plan provisions, including the accelerated vesting of long-term equity incentive awards upon certain terminations of employment occurring within 24 months following a change in control. Completion of the Merger will constitute a change in control under our Incentive Plan. For details regarding the effect of termination and change in control on outstanding equity awards, see “—Executive Summary—Compensation Matters Related to the Merger Agreement—Equity Treatment Under the Merger Agreement” and “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control—Treatment of Long-Term Equity Incentives Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Good Reason Acknowledgments and Transition or New Arrangements with Tapestry

Under the Merger Agreement, Capri is permitted to enter into letter agreements with each of John D. Idol, Thomas J. Edwards, Jr., Jenna Hendricks and Krista A. McDonough that acknowledge that such executive officers shall have the right to terminate their employment for Good Reason upon or following the Effective Time under the terms of the Capri benefit plans applicable to such executive officer, unless he or she agrees with Tapestry to waive or delay their right to terminate employment for Good Reason for up to three months after the closing of the Merger (or a mutually agreed longer period). Any Merger NEO and directors who are retained to provide services to Tapestry or the surviving entity following the closing of the Merger may enter into new individualized compensation arrangements and may participate in cash or equity incentive or other benefit plans maintained by Tapestry or its affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement, no such letter agreements have been entered into with Capri or Tapestry.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

In designing our compensation and benefits programs, the Compensation and Talent Committee reviews and considers the tax treatment of amounts awarded or paid to our executives. We believe it is important that our Compensation and Talent Committee retains flexibility and authority to adjust compensation as needed to address particular circumstances, or unexpected, unusual or non-recurring events, and to attract and retain key executive talent, even if this results in the payment of non-deductible compensation. Accordingly, our Compensation and Talent Committee may recommend payments that are not fully deductible if, in its judgment, such payments are necessary to achieve our compensation objectives and are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Section 409A of the Code, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes a 20% additional tax and an interest penalty on the recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. The Compensation and Talent Committee takes into account the potential implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and intends to structure any non-qualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements (including the Deferred Compensation Plan) to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

In addition, each element of the compensation paid to our executives is expensed in our financial statements as required by U.S. GAAP. The financial statement impact of various compensation awards is an important factor that the Compensation and Talent Committee considers in determining the amount, form and design of each pay component for our executives.

Compensation and Talent Committee Report

The Compensation and Talent Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this proxy statement with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Compensation and Talent Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024.

Compensation and Talent Committee Risk Assessment

Management periodically reviews with the Compensation and Talent Committee our compensation policies and practices and evaluates the degree to which the various design elements of our compensation program encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking, including by our NEOs. We believe that the various elements of our compensation program discourage imprudent risk taking and are aligned with our strategy and objectives. As a result of its review and evaluation of our Fiscal 2024 compensation program, the Compensation and Talent Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

The factors evaluated by management and the Compensation and Talent Committee included:

•the overall mix of pay between base salary, short-term and long-term incentives

•the variety of performance metrics used in our performance-based incentive compensation plans

•the range of performance required to earn a payout under performance-based compensation and capped payouts under our Incentive Plan

•the timing of incentive payouts and the vesting schedules and vesting conditions under our Incentive Plan

•our incentive compensation clawback policy

•the balance between the use of time-based and performance-based equity incentives

•share ownership guidelines for our non-employee directors and our executives

•our policy against buying Company shares on margin or engaging in any hedging transactions

•our rigorous management performance evaluation process with an emphasis on core competencies and leadership capabilities

•our leadership and culture that values long-term value creation for our shareholders and strong financial performance

•its certification of all performance results, approval of all performance payouts, and ability to apply discretion as appropriate

When we are developing new compensation programs or modifying existing programs and selecting performance measures for annual and long-term incentives, management and the Compensation and Talent Committee consider the associated risks when making its decisions.

John D. Idol

Mr. Idol’s employment agreement continues until it is terminated in accordance with its terms. Mr. Idol agreed not to terminate his employment for any reason (other than Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement)) without giving the Company at least six months’ notice.

Mr. Idol’s employment agreement will terminate upon Mr. Idol’s death or “Total Disability” (as defined in his employment agreement) or with Good Reason, subject to certain notice and cure rights. We may terminate Mr. Idol’s employment for Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) upon 10 days’ advance written notice, subject to Mr. Idol having certain rights to meet with the Board, and a majority of the Board must approve his dismissal.

If Mr. Idol’s employment is terminated by us without Cause or by him for Good Reason, he will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of his annual cash incentive (as described under “—Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers—John D.

If Mr. Idol dies or has a Total Disability, in addition to the accrued benefits referenced above, Mr. Idol (or his estate, as applicable) is entitled to a pro rata portion of his cash incentive that would have been payable to Mr. Idol in respect of such fiscal year as of the date of death or Total Disability. He would also be entitled to a benefit under his whole life insurance policy (currently valued at approximately $5.0 million) and his term life insurance policy (currently valued at approximately $500,000) upon termination due to death. In the event Mr. Idol is terminated for Cause, he is not entitled to receive any compensation or benefits other than for accrued benefits (including base salary earned but not yet paid, vested equity, his annual cash incentive with respect to any performance period that has been completed prior to the termination date, and such other accrued obligations as defined in his employment agreement).

“Good Reason” is defined in Mr. Idol’s employment agreement as:

•the assignment of duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent in any material respect with the scope of the duties or responsibilities of his title or position,

•the Company’s failure to perform substantially any material term of his employment agreement and such failure, if curable, is not cured within 30 days after the Company receives notice of the breach,

•he is involuntarily removed from the Board (other than in connection with a termination for Cause, voluntary termination without Good Reason, death or Total Disability), or

Change in Control Benefits

Generally

As a general matter, we do not provide our NEOs with any single-trigger change in control payments or benefits. If a change in control were to have occurred on March 30, 2024, and none of our NEOs had a qualifying termination event, there would have been no payments due to our named executive officers under their respective agreements or the Incentive Plan (assuming assumption of the agreements and awards (or substitution of the awards on a substantially equivalent basis) by the successor-entity to the Company following a change in control). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Merger constitutes a change in control under the Incentive Plan and our NEOs respective agreements, and certain single-trigger payments may be made solely in connection therewith pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms agreed with Tapestry. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—Compensation Related to Merger Agreement.”

Employment or Similar Agreements

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Idol may resign for Good Reason if his employment agreement is not assumed by the successor-entity to the Company following a change in control and he would be entitled to the the severance benefits described under “—Severance Benefits—John D. Idol” above.

Thomas J. Edwards, Jr., Jenna Hendricks, Krista A. McDonough and Cedric Wilmotte (the “CIC Executive Officers”) are entitled to severance protections pursuant to their respective CIC Agreements. The CIC Agreements provide for an initial two-year term that will renew automatically for additional years commencing on the first anniversary of the effective date and each annual anniversary thereafter, unless notice of nonrenewal is provided. The CIC Agreements become effective on a change in control of the Company and remain in effect for a two-year protected period thereafter. During such two-year period, each of the CIC Executives would generally be entitled to compensation and benefits consistent with those applicable prior to the change in control, and if the CIC Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the CIC Agreement) (and other than by reason of death or disability) or by the CIC Executive for Good Reason (as defined in the CIC Agreement), the CIC Executive would be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits, subject to an effective release of claims against the Company and its affiliates: (i) an amount equal to two-times the sum of such CIC Executive’s annual base salary and target annual cash incentive; (ii) a prorated target annual cash incentive for the portion of the Company’s fiscal year elapsed prior to the date of termination; (iii) a payment equal to the cost of the monthly COBRA premiums for group health care plan coverage for a period of 24 months; (iv) outplacement services up to a maximum cost of $25,000; and (v) in the case of Mr. Wilmotte, reimbursement of up to $350,000 for the actual liability incurred by him in terminating his residential lease in New York City (subject to his providing sufficient supporting documentation of such liability). If the CIC Executive’s employment is terminated during the protected period following a change in control due to death or disability, the CIC Executive would not be entitled to the benefits described above, but would be entitled to receive a prorated annual cash incentive based on such CIC Executive’s target annual cash incentive opportunity and death or disability benefits not less than those provided prior to the change in control. The payments and benefits under the CIC Agreements will be reduced to the extent that they would be subject to an excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, unless the CIC Executive would be better off on an after-tax basis receiving all such payments and benefits and paying their own excise tax. The CIC Agreements do not provide for an excise tax gross-up and include perpetual confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants, and non-solicitation covenants that apply while the CIC Executive is employed and for two years thereafter.

The Merger will constitute a change in control under the CIC Agreements.

“Good Reason” is defined in the CIC Agreements as actions taken by the Company resulting in a material negative change in the employment relationship which includes:

•the assignment to CIC Executive of duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent in any material respect with CIC Executive’s position, a material diminution in CIC Executive’s position, or a material diminution in the budget over which CIC Executive retains authority,


CAPRI HOLDINGS LIMITED			69


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION			TABLE OF CONTENTS

•a material diminution in the duties of the person to whom CIC Executive is required to report, including a requirement that CIC Executive report to an officer other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or, if the Company is not the ultimate parent entity of the Company and is not publicly traded, the Chief Executive Officer of the ultimate parent of the Company),

•failure to provide, in all material respects, any elements of compensation and benefits required to be provided to CIC Executive, including any decrease in annual base salary,

•requiring CIC Executive to be based at any office or location 50 miles or more from CIC Executive’s then-current location, or

•any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of the CIC Agreement, including any failure by the Company to require any successor to assume the CIC Agreement.

“Cause” is defined in the CIC Agreements in a manner generally consistent with the definition of Cause in each CIC Executive’s employment agreement.

Under the Merger Agreement, Capri is permitted to enter into letter agreements with the Merger NEOs that acknowledge that such executive officers shall have the right to terminate their employment for Good Reason upon or following the Effective Time and receive the severance protections under the terms of the Capri benefit plans applicable to such executive officer, unless he or she agrees with Tapestry to waive or delay their right to terminate employment for Good Reason for up to three months after the closing of the Merger (or a mutually agreed longer period). As of the date of this proxy statement, no such letter agreements have been entered into with Capri or Tapestry. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Good Reason Acknowledgments and Transition or New Arrangements with Tapestry.”

Incentive Plan

Under the Company’s Incentive Plan, there is no single-trigger accelerated vesting of any awards issued, unless the successor company does not assume (or substitute on a substantially equivalent basis) the awards. In the event of a change in control of the Company, with respect to each outstanding award under the Incentive Plan, such outstanding award will, except as otherwise set forth in the Incentive Plan, continue in effect, or be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by a successor company, and the portion of any such award subject to performance-based vesting (including, without limitation, any PRSUs) will have any performance goals or other performance-based conditions deemed to be achieved at the target level of performance and any performance period deemed to have expired, but will continue to be subject to time-based vesting in accordance with the same time-based vesting schedule that applied to the award immediately prior to the change in control without any performance-based condition. Except as otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, in the event of a change in control in which the successor assumes, substitutes or continues an award, if executive’s employment is terminated by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (each as defined in the applicable award agreement which refers to the definition in the Company's employment or similar agreement with executive) within 24 months following a change in control, all unvested share options will immediately vest and become fully exercisable for a two-year period (or, if earlier, the expiration date set forth in the applicable award agreement) and all unvested RSUs will fully vest and all restrictions, limitations and conditions will lapse.

A “change in control” is generally defined in the CIC Agreements and Incentive Plan as:

•during any 24-month period, the individuals serving on the Board cease to comprise a majority of the Board,

•the acquisition by a third party of securities representing 30% or more of the voting power of the Company,

•the consummation of a merger, consolidation or similar corporate transaction that requires approval of the Company’s shareholders, unless: (i) more than 50% of the voting power is retained by the holders of the voting securities immediately prior to the transaction, (ii) no person acquires securities of the Company representing more than 30% of the total voting power of the Company, and (iii) at least a majority of the directors on the Board were the same as those serving immediately prior to the transaction, or

•the shareholders of the Company approve a complete liquidation of the Company or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

In general, unless stated otherwise in an employment agreement or individual award agreement, the share options and other share-based awards granted to our NEOs under the Incentive Plan would have been treated as follows in the event of termination or change in control in Fiscal 2024:


Reason for Termination						Impact on Equity Awards
Voluntary by Executive (No Grounds for Company to Terminate for Cause)						•Unvested share options, RSUs and PRSUs are forfeited •Vested share options are exercisable for 30 days following termination
By Company without Cause						•Unvested share options, RSUs and PRSUs are forfeited •Vested share options are exercisable for 90 days following termination
By Company for Cause						•Vested but unexercised share options and unvested share options are forfeited and unvested RSUs and PRSUs are forfeited
Death or Disability						•All unvested share options and RSUs will vest in full and unvested PRSUs will vest at target •Vested share options are exercisable by executive or beneficiary (as applicable) for one year following death or disability (or, if earlier, the expiration date set forth in the applicable award agreement)
Retirement (at least age 60 plus at least 10 years of service)						•Unvested share options and RSUs will continue to vest on the applicable vesting schedule •Unvested PRSUs will vest at the end of the performance period based on actual performance on a pro rata basis based on the number of completed months worked during the performance period •Vested share options are exercisable for four years following retirement (or, if earlier, the expiration date set forth in the applicable award agreement)
Termination on (or within 24 months of) Change in Control by Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason						•Vesting of unvested share options will be accelerated and remain fully exercisable for a two-year period (or, if earlier, the expiration date set forth in the applicable award agreement) •Unvested RSUs will fully vest and all restrictions, limitations and conditions will lapse
Change in Control without Termination						•There is no single-trigger accelerated vesting of any awards issued to date, unless the successor corporation does not assume (or substitute on a substantially equivalent basis) the awards •Unvested PRSUs will vest at target and any performance conditions and performance periods will lapse, but the awards will continue to be subject to time-based vesting in accordance with the same time-based vesting schedule that applied to the award immediately prior to the change in control

Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment and Change in Control Table

The Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment and Change in Control Tables below set forth the estimated potential payments and benefits that would be payable to each of the named executive officers that were employed on the last day of Fiscal 2024 in the event of a termination of employment or change in control of the Company as of March 30, 2024 (the last day of Fiscal 2024). The amounts presented in the tables below assume all accrued obligations (including base salary earned but not yet paid, vested equity, any annual cash incentive with respect to any performance period that has been completed prior to the termination date or change in control, and any other accrued obligations as defined in an executive’s employment agreement) have been paid as of the termination of employment and/or change in control date. Regardless of the reason for a named executive officer’s termination of employment, he or she may be entitled to receive certain other amounts or accrued benefits, including any vested balance in their 401(k) plan or deferred compensation plan.

The Merger will constitute a change in control under our Incentive Plan and applicable employment or similar agreements. The amounts in the table below reflect assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the effective date of any termination or change in control transaction (including the Merger), and are merely illustrative of the impact of hypothetical events, based on the terms of arrangements then in effect. The amounts that would actually be paid or payable to our NEOs upon an actual termination of employment and/or change in control transaction (including the Merger) will depend on the circumstances and timing of such event and may materially differ from the amounts set forth below.

1.Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Idol’s employment agreement, reflects severance pay equal to two times the sum of: (i) Mr. Idol's base salary as in effect on the last day of Fiscal 2024 and (ii) the annual cash incentive paid to him with respect to the Company’s last full fiscal year ended prior to the termination date (Fiscal 2023), payable in a single lump sum within 30 days following the date of termination. Because termination is assumed to have occurred on the last day of Fiscal 2024, the amounts presented in this row assume all accrued obligations under Mr. Idol’s employment agreement have been paid.

2.Represents payment of the annual cash incentive for Fiscal 2024 which executive is entitled to pursuant to his employment agreement in the event of death or Total Disability (as defined in his employment agreement) or upon a termination by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Idol for Good Reason. Because termination is assumed to have occurred on the last day of Fiscal 2024, the amounts presented in this row assume all accrued obligations with respect to any cash incentive payment for a completed fiscal period which may be due and owing to Mr. Idol under other termination scenarios under his employment agreement have been paid.

3.Pursuant to letter agreements with each NEO entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, and subject to executive actively working toward the completion of all requirements necessary to consummate the Merger and remaining employed through the closing of the Merger, the NEO will receive a special one-time cash bonus equal to their current base salary. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—Compensation Related to Merger Agreement—Special Bonus Awards.”

4.Mr. Idol is entitled to a death benefit of $5.0 million and $500,000 under his whole life insurance policy and term life insurance policy, respectively.

5.Excludes awards that are already vested as of March 30, 2024. Mr. Idol is retirement eligible under the Incentive Plan and the amount in this row represents the value associated with the acceleration or continuation (as the case may be) pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan of the vesting of equity awards set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Fiscal Year End table, using $45.30 per share, which is the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the NYSE on March 28, 2024 (the last business day of Fiscal 2024) and assumes threshold performance with respect to PRSUs. With respect to the amounts set forth under the columns “Merger Single Trigger Payments” and “By the Company Without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason on or within 24 months of Change in Control,” the PRSU amounts reflect target performance for all performance periods that have not yet been completed. For the “Merger Single Trigger Payments” column only, the accelerated vesting of annual long-term incentives were calculated using $57.00 per share, which is the Merger Consideration.

6.For purposes of this disclosure, “single trigger” refers to payments and benefits that arise solely as a result of the completion of the Merger pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms agreed with Tapestry.

7.Pursuant to the terms of executive’s employment agreement, reflects severance pay equal to 12 months of executive’s base salary as in effect on the last day of Fiscal 2024 payable in equal installments over a one-year period consistent with our payroll practices. In the event of a qualifying termination event within 24 for months of a Change in Control (as defined in executive’s CIC Agreement), executive is entitled to severance pay equal to two-times the sum of executive’s annual base salary and target annual cash incentive Because termination is assumed to have occurred on the last day of Fiscal 2024, the amounts presented in this row assume all accrued obligations under executive’s employment agreement or CIC Agreement, as applicable, have been paid.

8.Represents payment of the annual cash incentive for Fiscal 2024 which executive is entitled to pursuant to their employment agreement upon a termination by the Company without Cause or by executive for Good Reason. For Mr. Wilmotte, this amount reflects only the portion of his guaranteed annual incentive not yet paid as of the last day of the fiscal year.

9.Represents the cost of continuation of medical, dental, and vision benefits for executive for one year, or in the case of a termination by the Company without Cause or by executive for Good Reason within 24 months following a change of control (including the Merger), the cost of monthly COBRA premiums for group health care plan coverage for 24 months. Assumes costs will be equal to our cost for equivalent benefits in Fiscal 2024. These costs may change annually. Also includes $25,000 for outplacement services if executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or by executive for Good Reason within 24 months following a change of control (including the Merger). For Mr. Wilmotte, this row additionally assumes maximum reimbursement of up to $350,000 for the actual liability incurred by him in terminating his New York City residential lease.

10.Excludes awards that are already vested as of March 30, 2024. Represents the value of accelerated vesting for awards that will become fully vested and exercisable based on the amounts set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Fiscal Year End table, using $45.30 per share, which is the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the NYSE on March 28, 2024 (the last business day of Fiscal 2024) and assumes threshold performance with respect to PRSUs. With respect to the amounts set forth under the columns “Merger Single Trigger Payments” and “By the Company Without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason on or within 24 months of Change in Control,” the PRSU amounts reflect target performance for all performance periods that have not yet been completed. For the “Merger Single Trigger Payments” column only, the accelerated vesting of annual long-term incentives were calculated using $57.00 per share, which is the Merger Consideration.

11.Assumes termination due to death or disability occurs prior to any change in control (including the Merger). Pursuant to the CIC Agreements, if executive’s employment is terminated within two years following a change in control due to death or disability, executive would not be entitled to payment for medical, dental and vision benefits, but would be entitled to receive a prorated annual cash incentive based on such executive’s target annual cash incentive opportunity and death and disability benefits not less than those provided prior to the change in control.

CEO Pay Ratio

Presented below is the ratio of the annual total compensation paid to John D. Idol, our Chief Executive Officer, in Fiscal 2024 to the annual total compensation of our median employee, excluding Mr. Idol’s compensation. This ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in compliance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act.

Methodology

The methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” were as follows:

•We selected February 1, 2024 as the date on which to determine our median employee.

•As of the determination date, we employed approximately 14,067 employees, consisting of approximately 9,595 full-time employees and approximately 4,472 part-time employees. Approximately 11,080 of our total employees as of the determination date were engaged in retail selling or administrative positions.

•We relied on the de minimis exemption provided for under the pay ratio disclosure rules which permit us to exclude non-U.S. employees constituting less than 5% of the total employee population from the median employee calculation.

◦We excluded 711 employees (representing 4.81% of our total employee population, excluding the CEO, as of February 1, 2024) from 13 countries as follows: 459 employees in Spain, 8 employees in Lithuania, 144 employees in Taiwan, 9 employees in Latvia, 9 employees in Romania, 7 employees in Costa Rica, 22 employees in Panama, 6 employees in Dominican Republic, 17 employees in Chile, 13 employees in Columbia, 5 employees in Aruba, 7 employees in Barbados and 5 employees in Saint Maarten.

•We analyzed the actual total earnings compiled from our payroll records for the one-year period ending December 31, 2023 to determine the median employee. Actual earnings included base pay, overtime compensation, bonuses and other incentive pay (including commissions, fringe benefits and 401(k) match).

◦We annualized the compensation of the employees who were hired during the applicable period, but who did not work for us during the entire 12 months.

◦We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to adjust for employees living outside of New York City.

◦For employees in foreign jurisdictions, we converted amounts paid in local currencies to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of February 1, 2024.

Calculation

•We determined that our median employee was a part-time, hourly retail sales assistant located in the United States.

•The estimated annual total compensation for our median employee was $31,447.

•Fiscal 2024 annual total compensation for our Chief Executive Officer as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table was $10,536,629.

•The estimated ratio of our Chief Executive Officer’s annual total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation for Fiscal 2024 was 335 to 1.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Pay Versus Performance

In accordance with SEC rules, the following table sets forth information with respect to how compensation actually paid to our NEOs aligns with company performance. “Compensation actually paid” (or CAP) is an SEC-defined term that does not necessarily reflect the amounts ultimately realized by the NEOs or how the Compensation and Talent Committee views the link between company performance and NEO compensation. Additional information regarding our compensation philosophy, the structure of our performance-based compensation programs, and compensation decisions made in the last completed fiscal year is described above in our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” In addition, a significant portion of compensation actually paid relates to changes in fair value of unvested equity awards over the course of each year. Unvested equity awards remain subject to risk from forfeiture and vesting conditions and possible future declines in value based on changes in the price of our ordinary shares. The ultimate values actually realized by our NEOs from unvested equity awards cannot be determined until the awards vest.

The following table provides information regarding compensation actually paid to our Chief Executive Officer, also referred to as our Principal Executive Officer, or PEO, and the other NEOs for each year from Fiscal 2021 to 2024, compared to our total shareholder return (TSR) and our peer group TSR as well our Net Income and Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the applicable fiscal year.

Annual Cash Retainer			100,000
Additional Cash Retainers
Lead Director			50,000
Audit Committee Chair			35,000
Compensation and Talent Committee Chair			30,000
Governance, Nominating and CSR Committee Chair			30,000
Committee Cash Service Payment			$12,500 per committee
Travel Fee			$3,000 per intercontinental trip to Board meeting

Directors who are employees receive no additional compensation for their services as directors. A portion of John D. Idol’s annual base salary, equal to one-fourth of the amount of the annual retainer paid to the Company’s independent directors, is payable to him by the Company on a quarterly basis at the same time such retainer is paid to the independent directors of the Company. This is not additional compensation for Mr. Idol and is merely an allocation of salary from the U.S. entity that employs him to the Company for his services as a director of the Company.

In addition to the annual cash fees set forth in the table above, each non-employee director is entitled to receive an annual grant of RSUs under our Incentive Plan. For Fiscal 2024, non-employee director RSU grants had a fair value at the time of grant equal to approximately $175,000. The RSUs generally cliff vest on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of grant or the Company’s annual shareholder meeting that occurs in the calendar year following the date of grant. Non-employee directors may defer settlement of the RSUs beyond the vesting date in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Our annual equity grants to non-employee directors are made on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. Generally, any non-employee director appointed to our Board subsequent to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders is granted, on the date of such appointment, a pro rata portion of the annual equity grant based on the time between the director’s date of appointment and the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Our directors are permitted to use the Company aircraft to travel to and from Board and committee meetings, and we reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel and other related expenses in connection with such meetings. Non-employee directors (like all of our eligible full-time employees) are also provided with a merchandise discount on our products.
