% of the outstanding shares of Interparfums SA. The IPH Hook Shares have never been allocated any dividends from the Company, and the IPH Hook Shares have never been counted for voting purposes at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company. Under Section 242 of the DGCL, a corporation may amend its certificate of incorporation to effectuate a cancellation of its shares. Proposal The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the IPH Hook Shares to be cancelled pursuant to the proposed Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation as Amended attached hereto as Annex A (the “ Amendment ”). In order to cancel the IPH Hook Shares, approval of the Company’s shareholders of the Amendment is required before the Amendment can be filed in the State of Delaware to cancel the IPH Hook Shares. The Board of Directors intends to have the IPH Hook Shares cancelled to prevent the IPH Hook Shares from ever being issued at a discount, which would dilute the interest of our shareholders in the Company. After the consummation of the cancellation of the IPH Hook Shares, the Company intends to streamline its corporate structure by merging IPH Subsidiary into Interparfums SA, with Interparfums SA being the surviving entity, which will result in the Company still owning 72% of Interparfums SA. The Company does not believe that cancellation of the IPH Hook Shares or the contemplated merger between IPH Subsidiary and Interparfums SA will have any material negative impact on either the operations or financial condition of the Company. After the IPH Hook Shares have been cancelled, the 1,093,950 shares will become authorized, but not issued and outstanding issues shares. Shareholder Vote and Board of Directors’ Recommendation As Section 242 of the DGCL provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company shareholders entitled to vote is required in order for our Company to file the Amendment, we are asking our shareholders to vote FOR this proposal. Affiliates of our Company have informed us that they will vote FOR approval of this proposal. Uninstructed shares, broker non-votes, and abstentions have the effect of negative votes. OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE TO APPROVE THIS PROPOSAL.
