Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
are reasonable, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance, operations
or achievements or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance,
operations or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: global and local
economic conditions; changes in market trends and end-consumer preferences; fluctuations in the
prices of raw materials, currency exchange rates, and interest rates; the Company’s plans or
objectives for future operations or products, including the ability to introduce new jewellery and non-

strengthening of the Company’s intellectual property rights, including patents and trademarks; the
future adequacy of the Company’s current warehousing, logistics and information technology

Company’s business; increases to the Company’s effective tax rate or other harm to the Company’s
business as a result of governmental review of the Company’s transfer pricing policies, conflicting
taxation claims or changes in tax laws; and other factors referenced to in this presentation.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialise, or should any underlying assumptions
prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual financial condition, cash flows or results of operations
could differ materially from that described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.
Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements,
particularly in light of the current economic climate and the significant volatility, uncertainty and
disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update any forward-looking
statements contained herein, except as may be required by law. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on the Company’s behalf are
