PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND
OTHER INFORMATION

In this annual report on Form 20-F (the Annual Report), references to
 or Euro are to the Euro and references to U.S. dollars, dollars, U.S.$ or $ are to United States dollars.

Amounts stated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated, have been translated from the Euro amount by converting the Euro amounts into U.S.
dollars at the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the Noon Buying Rate) for euros on December 31, 2015 of
U.S.$ 1.0859. The foreign currency conversions in this Annual Report should not be taken as representations that the foreign currency amounts actually represent the equivalent U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the
rates indicated.

The Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles established by the Italian Accounting Profession (Italian GAAP). These principles vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). See
Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report. All discussions in this Annual Report are in relation to Italian GAAP, unless otherwise indicated.

In this Annual Report, the term seat is used as a unit of measurement. A sofa consists of three seats; an armchair consists of one
seat.

The terms Natuzzi, Natuzzi Group, Company, Group, we, us,
and our, unless otherwise indicated or as the context may otherwise require, mean Natuzzi S.p.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The Company makes forward-looking statements in this Annual Report. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the
Groups beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as believe, expect, intend, plan and anticipate and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements but are not exclusive means of identifying such statements. These statements are based on managements current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore readers should not place undue reliance on them.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates they were made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Projections and targets included in this Annual Report are intended to describe our current targets and goals, and not as a prediction of
future performance or results. The attainment of such projections and targets is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties described in the paragraph below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk
Factors.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, as well as other factors that may be beyond our

Risk Factors

Investing in the Companys ADSs involves certain risks. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all of the
information included in this Annual Report.

The Group has a recent history of losses; the Groups future profitability, financial
condition and ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity depend to a large extent on its ability to overcome macroeconomic and operational challenges  The Group reported net losses of 16.5 million in 2015,
registering a significant improvement compared to the previous years. Net losses were in 2015 (16.5 million), 2014 (49.4 million), 2013 (68.6 million), 2012 (26.1 million) and 2011 (19.6 million), while it reported an
operating loss in each of 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (7.6 million, 37.0 million, 32.3 million, 17.3 million and 27.3 million respectively)

The Group attributes its negative results in 2015 to a persistently difficult macroeconomic environment affecting the furniture industry as a
whole (particularly evident in some mature markets such as Europe), including weakness in economic activity in particular in the Euro-zone. In 2014, the Group launched the Transformation Plan (as defined below), which is aimed at restructuring its
operations and which foresees, in particular, a reduction in its Italian workforce, the closure of certain Italian facilities and the implementation of more efficient production processes in all of its manufacturing plants, including those in Italy,
that remain in operation. Following the initial phase of the implementation of such plan, the Group faced other operational challenges at the Italian and Chinese plants, that resulted in temporary inefficiencies and additional costs, which affected
the Groups overall profitability. In 2015, approximately one year after the timing foreseen in the transformation plan, the Group reached improvements in efficiency, in particular in its Italian and Chinese plants. In the same year the Group
realized huge savings in SG&A through a rightsizing plan in the Italian headquarter. In addition in the last four years, pursuant to our obligations under the Italian Reorganization Agreements (as defined below), the Group incurred financial
obligations in the amount of 20.0 million (4.5 million, 13.5 million, 1.4 million and 0.6 million for years 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively) connected to an incentive program aimed at the
reduction of redundant employees . Despite these incentive payments, the Group increased its Cash and Cash equivalents from 32.9 million at the end of year 2014 to 52.5 million at the end of year 2015. Net financial position at
the end of year 2015 amounted to 14.5 million compared to 2.8 million at the 2014 year-end. This significant positive result was a result of benefits deriving from transformation plan and efficiency improvements, trade
receivables securitizations and other improvements in net working capital. Year 2015 was also characterized by new financial credit lines granted by financial institutions on both short and long-term basis. As such, management believes that the
Group has sufficient source of liquidity to fund working capital expenditures and other contractual obligations for the next 24 months. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. The Group has also faced increased labor
costs for some of its manufacturing plants operating abroad. See Item 4. Information on the CompanyManufacturing for further information.

Our results of operations and ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the future will depend on our ability to overcome these and
other challenges. Our failure to achieve profitability in the future could adversely affect the trading price of our shares and our ability to raise additional capital and, accordingly, our ability to grow our business. There can be no assurance
that we will succeed in addressing any or all of these risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

The worldwide economic downturn over the past few years has impacted the Groups business and could continue to significantly impact
our operations, sales, earnings and liquidity in the foreseeable future  Although in the first half of 2011 the global economy continued to show small signs of recovery following the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, it subsequently lost
momentum, with particular reference to the Euro-zone, as a consequence of the sovereign debt crisis affecting Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland. In 2013 and 2014, the global economy continued to grow at a modest pace, but this growth was
curbed by the stagnation of economic activity in parts of Europe, as well as the slow-down of some emerging economies. In 2015 recovery remained gradual and economic developments were different across regions.

However, the prospects for the world economy still remain uncertain, in particularly owing to
persistent weakness in the Euro area (general weakness in the job market, ongoing vulnerability in the real-estate sector, a decreasing level of savings among families, high levels of public indebtedness in most developed countries, political
instability, austerity measures designed to reduce public expenditures and consequent decreased consumer spending), the economic slowdown in China, and the downturn in Russia.

Furthermore, a resurgence of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe could diminish the banking industrys ability to lend to the real
economy, thus creating a negative spiral of declining production, higher unemployment and a weakening financial sector.

These
persistently difficult conditions have resulted in a decline in our sales and earnings over the past few years and could continue to impact our sales and earnings in the future. Sales of residential furniture are impacted by downturns in the general
economy primarily due to decreased discretionary spending by consumers. The general level of consumer spending is affected by a number of factors, including, among others, general economic conditions, inflation, consumer confidence and the
availability of consumer credit, all of which are generally beyond our control.

The economic downturn also impacts retailers, our primary
customers, and may result in the inability of our customers to pay the amounts owed to us. In addition, if our retail customers are unable to sell our products or are unable to access credit, they may experience financial difficulties leading to
bankruptcies, liquidations, and other unfavorable events. If any of these events occur, or if unfavorable economic conditions continue to challenge the consumer environment, our future sales, earnings, and liquidity would likely be adversely
impacted.

The Groups ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service our debt obligations and comply with
our other financial obligations, and our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing depends on multiple factors, many of which may be beyond our control  Our ability to make scheduled payments
due on our existing and anticipated debt obligations and on our other financial obligations, and to refinance and to fund planned capital expenditure and development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash. See The Group has
a recent history of losses; the Groups future profitability, financial condition and ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity depend to a large extent on its ability to overcome macroeconomic and operational challenges. We will
require generation of sufficient operating cash flow from our operations to service our current and future projected indebtedness. Our ability to obtain cash to service our existing and projected debts is subject to a range of economic, financial,
competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our existing and projected debt and other financial obligations,
in which case, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments, or seeking to raise additional capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our
indebtedness will depend on the financial markets and our financial condition at such time. To the extent we have borrowings under bank overdrafts that are payable upon demand or which have short maturities, we may be required to repay or refinance
such amounts on short notice, which may be difficult to do on acceptable financial terms or at all. At December 31, 2015, we had 19.0 million of bank overdrafts outstanding. In addition, while we had 52.5 million of cash
and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015, 56% of this amount was held by our Chinese subsidiaries, most of which cannot be paid to us as a dividend without incurring withholding taxes. We cannot assure you that any refinancing or restructuring
would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales or the amount of proceeds that would be realized from those sales. We cannot assure you that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at
all, or would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect. Our failure to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our existing and projected debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially
reasonable terms, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company uses a securitization program to manage liquidity risk. Should such program be
terminated, the Companys ability to manage such risk will be impaired.

As a means to manage liquidity risk, in July 2015, the
Company entered into a non-recourse securitization agreement (Securitization Agreement) with an affiliate of Banca Intesa (the Assignee). Under the Securitization Agreement, the Company assigns certain customer receivables to
the Assignee in exchange for short-term credit, thereby providing the Company with an important and stable source of short-term funding. The Companys ability to continue using this tool to mitigate liquidity risk depends on the assigned
receivables meeting certain credit criteria, one such criterion being the continued solvency of the customers owing such receivables. If these criteria are not met, including, for example, because the credit quality of the Companys customers
deteriorates, the Securitization Agreement may be terminated, thereby depriving the Company of an important tool for managing liquidity risk. A copy of the Securitization Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to this Form 20-F.

The Groups operations have benefited in 2015 and in previous years from a temporary work force reduction program that, if not
continued, may have an impact on the Groups future performance Due to the persistently difficult business environment that has negatively affected the Groups sales performance over the past few years, the Company has in
recent years entered into a series of agreements with Italian trade unions and the relevant Italian Ministry pursuant to which government funds have been used to pay a substantial portion of the salaries of redundant workers who are subject to
layoffs or reduced work schedules (as in the case of the Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria, or CIGS, an Italian temporary lay-off program).

The agreements signed during 2015 have represented a crucial phase. Between October 2013 and October 2015, 500 blue collar workers voluntarily
terminated their employment with Company, which led to a gradual reduction of redundant structural staff in the manufacturing and innovation processes.

With respect to the improvement of manufacturing levels, on March 3, 2015, the Minister of Labour and Social Politics signed new
agreements (the so-called Solidarity Agreement) in order to reduce the redundant staff by reducing the working hours. In this way, more workers can continue to stay at work, though with a reduction of salary that is less than proportional to working
hours reduction thanks to Government financial support. The agreement is also focused on increasing competitiveness of the Italian production plants. The Group intends to recover competitiveness through product and process innovation with the aim to
recover market share, and potentially maintaining occupational levels.

Thanks to the above-mentioned agreement, the incentive plan and a
new labor organization, the Company reduced the redundant positions, to 359 work units at the end of year 2015, without strikes or social conflict.

In 2016, the Reorganisation Plan will continue to reinforce the competitiveness of plants through the following actions:



| | 1. | By implementing a new industrial asset on the basis of the lean enterprise logic by investing in product and process innovation.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | By maintaining occupational levels through the application of solidarity contracts in its Italian operations.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to manage 359 redundant units, the Company put in place the so-called ASSIST project.
This project offers a set of incentives to third-party companies that hire a certain number of our redundant units. As of the date of this Annual Report, none of our redundant units have been hired by third-party companies. In addition, the Company
continues an incentive payment program to incentivize redundant people to resign. We anticipate that 100 units should adhere to this program by June 30, 2016.

The Company expects to spend approximately 10 million to cover costs related to the support the agreements signed in March 2015.

The Companys inability to continue reducing redundant structural staff could have an adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows.

The Groups operations may be adversely impacted by strikes, slowdowns and other labour
relations matters. Many of our employees, including many of the labourers at our Italian plants, are unionized and covered by collective bargaining agreements. As a result, we are subject to the risk of strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns and
other labour relations matters , particularly in our Italian plants. These collective bargaining agreements also limit the possibility to dynamically react to market conditions or competition without the agreement of Italian trade union
representatives. During 2013, 2014 and 2015, we experienced strikes and slowdowns in connection with our Italian reorganization efforts, which resulted in lower productivity levels. Our operations may also be adversely impacted by future
strikes or slowdowns, which we anticipate could occur in the future in connection with the announcement of layoffs and the subsequent termination of redundant employees.

Any strikes, threats of strikes, slowdowns or other resistance in connection with our reorganization plan, the negotiation of new labour
agreements or otherwise could adversely affect our business as well as impair our ability to implement further measures to reduce structural costs and improve production efficiencies. A lengthy strike that involves a significant portion of our
manufacturing facilities could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We may not
execute our Business Plan, successfully or in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or on our ability to achieve the objectives set forth in our plans  On February 28, 2014, the
Natuzzi board of directors approved the 2014-2016 Business Plan, which envisaged actions to boost sales and efficiency measures to save on COGS, in order to regain profitability for the Group. The 2017-2020 Business Plan, the guidelines of which
were presented to the Board of Directors in February 2016, also incorporates successful execution of these actions. The profitability of our operations depends on the successful and timely execution of the Business Plan.

The failure to successfully and timely execute these objectives could result in ongoing losses for the Group and a failure to reduce costs and
improve sales as contemplated by the Business Plan.

A failure to offer a wide range of products that appeal to consumers in the
markets we target and at different price-points could result in a decrease in our future profitability The Groups sales depend on our ability to anticipate and reflect consumer tastes and trends in the products we sell in
various markets around the world, as well as our ability to offer our products at various price points that reflect the spending levels of our target consumers. While we have broadened the offering of our products in terms of styles and price points
over the past several years in order to attract a wider base of consumers, our results of operations are highly dependent on our continued ability to properly anticipate and predict these trends. The potential inability of the Group to anticipate
consumer tastes and preferences in the various markets in which we operate, and to offer these products at prices that are competitive to consumers, may negatively affect the Groups ability to generate future earnings.

In addition, with the vast majority of our net sales deriving from the sale of
leather-upholstered furniture. Consumers have the choice of purchasing upholstered furniture in a wide variety of styles and materials, and consumer preferences may change. There can be no assurance that the current market for leather-upholstered
furniture will grow consistent with our projections under the Business Plan or that it will not decline.

Demand for furniture is
cyclical and may fall in the future Historically, the furniture industry has been cyclical, fluctuating with economic cycles, and sensitive to general economic conditions, housing starts, interest rate levels, credit availability
and other factors that affect consumer spending habits. Due to the discretionary nature of most furniture purchases and the fact that they often represent a significant expenditure to the average consumer, such purchases may be deferred during times
of economic uncertainty such as those being recently experienced in some of our markets, such as Europe, or the United States some years ago.

In 2015, the Group derived 44,3% of its leather and fabric-upholstered furniture net sales from the EMEA region, 41,5% from the Americas
(Brazil included), and 14,2% from the Asia-Pacific region. A failure to recover from the economic slowdown or renewed economic pressures in Europe may have a material adverse effect on the Groups results of operations.

The furniture market is highly competitive The Group operates in a highly competitive industry that includes a large
number of manufacturers. No single company has a dominant position in the industry. Competition is generally based on product quality, brand name recognition, price and service.

The Group principally competes in the upholstered furniture sub-segment of the furniture market. In Europe, the upholstered furniture market
is highly fragmented. In the United States, the upholstered furniture market includes a number of relatively large companies, some of which are larger and have greater financial resources than the Group. Some of the Groups competitors offer
extensively advertised, well-recognized branded products.

Competition has increased significantly in recent years as foreign producers
from countries with lower manufacturing costs have begun to play an important role in the upholstered furniture market. Such manufacturers are often able to offer their products at lower prices, which increases price competition in the industry. In
particular, manufacturers in Asia and Eastern Europe have increased competition in the lower-priced segment of the market. As a result of the actions and strength of the Groups competitors and the inherent fragmentation in some markets in
which it competes, the Group is continually subject to the risk of losing market share, which may lower its sales and profits.

Market
competition may also force the Group to reduce prices and margins, thereby reducing its cash flows.

The highly competitive nature of the
industry means that we are constantly at risk of losing market share, which would likely result in a loss of future sales and earnings. In addition, due to high levels of competition, it may not be possible for us to raise the prices of our products
in response to inflationary pressures or increasing costs, which could result in a decrease in our profit margins.

Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates have adversely affected and may adversely affect the Groups results  The Group conducts a substantial part of its business outside of the Euro-zone. An increase in the value of the Euro relative to other
currencies used in the countries in which the Group operates has in the past, and may in the future, reduce the relative value of the revenues from its operations in those countries, and therefore may adversely affect its operating results or
financial position, which are reported in Euro. In addition to this risk, the Group is subject to currency exchange rate risk to the extent that its costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which it earns revenues. In 2015, a
significant portion of the Groups net sales about 69%, but approximately 55% of its costs , were denominated in currencies other than the Euro. The Group also holds a substantial portion of its cash and cash equivalents in currencies other
than the Euro, including a large amount in RMB received as compensation for the relocation of its Chinese manufacturing plant in 2011. The Group is therefore exposed to the risk that fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect its
results, as has been the case in recent years. For more information, see Item 11, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Group faces risks associated with its international operations  The Group is exposed to risks that arise from its
international operations, including changes in governmental regulations, tariffs or taxes and other trade barriers, price, wage and exchange controls, political, social, and economic instability in the countries where the Group operates, inflation
and exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Groups results.

The Groups past results and operations have significantly benefited from government
incentive programs, which may not be available in the future  Historically, the Group derived significant benefits from the Italian Governments investment incentive programs for under-industrialized regions in Southern Italy,
including tax benefits, subsidized loans and capital grants. See Item 4. Information on the CompanyIncentive Programs and Tax Benefits. In recent years, the Italian Parliament replaced these incentive programs with an investment
incentive program for all under-industrialized regions in Italy, which is currently being implemented by the Group through grants, research and development benefits. There are no indications at this time that the Italian Government will implement
new initiatives to support companies located in under-industrialized regions in Italy. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Group will continue to be eligible for such grants, benefits or tax credits for its current or future investments in
Italy.

In recent years, the Group has opened manufacturing operations in China, Brazil and Romania and through 2011, was granted tax
benefits and export incentives by the respective governmental authorities in those countries. There can be no assurance that the Group will benefit from such tax benefits or export incentives in connection with future investments.

The price of the Groups principal raw materials is difficult to predict. In 2015, approximately 92% of the Groups revenues
came from leather-upholstered furniture sales. The acquisition of cattle hides represents approximately 32% of total cost of goods sold. The dynamics of the raw hides market are dependent on the consumption of beef, the levels of worldwide
slaughtering, worldwide weather conditions and the level of demand in a number of different sectors, including footwear, automotive, furniture and clothing.

The Group is dependent on qualified personnel  The Groups ability to maintain its competitive position will depend to some
considerable degree upon the personal commitment of its founder, chairman and CEO, Mr. Pasquale Natuzzi, as well as on its ability to continue to attract and maintain highly qualified managerial, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel.
There can be no assurance that the loss of key personnel would not have a material adverse effect on the Groups results of operations.

Investors may face difficulties in protecting their rights as shareholders or holders of ADSs  The Company is incorporated under
the laws of the Republic of Italy. As a result, the rights and obligations of its shareholders and certain rights and obligations of holders of its ADSs (as defined below) are governed by Italian law and the Companys statuto (or
by-laws). These rights and obligations are different from those that apply to U.S. corporations. Furthermore, under Italian law, holders of ADSs have no right to vote the shares underlying their ADSs; however, pursuant to the Deposit Agreement (as
defined below), ADS holders do have the right to give instructions to The Bank of New York Mellon, the ADS depositary, as to how they wish such shares to be voted. For these reasons, the Companys ADS holders may find it more difficult to
protect their interests against actions of the Companys management, board of directors or shareholders than they would if they were shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

One shareholder has a controlling stake of the Company  Mr. Pasquale Natuzzi, who founded the Company and is currently Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors, beneficially owns, as of April 27, 2016, 30,967,521 Ordinary Shares, representing 56.5% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding (61.6% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding if the Ordinary
Shares owned by members of Mr. Natuzzis immediate family (the Natuzzi Family) are aggregated). As a result, Mr. Natuzzi has the ability to exert significant influence over our corporate affairs and to control the Company,
including its management and the selection of its board of directors. Since December 16, 2003, Mr. Natuzzi has held his entire beneficial ownership of Natuzzi S.p.A. shares through INVEST 2003 S.r.l., an Italian holding company
wholly-owned by Mr. Natuzzi and with its registered office located at Via Gobetti 8, Taranto, Italy.

In addition, under the Deposit
Agreement dated as of May 15, 1993, as amended and restated as of December 23, 1996 and as of December 31, 2001 (the Deposit Agreement), among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary (the
Depositary), and owners and beneficial owners of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), the Natuzzi Family has a right of first refusal to purchase all the rights, warrants or other instruments which The Bank of New York
Mellon, as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement, determines may not lawfully or feasibly be made available to owners of ADSs in connection with each rights offering, if any, made to holders of Ordinary Shares.

Because a change of control of the Company would be difficult to achieve without the cooperation
of Mr. Natuzzi and the Natuzzi Family, the holders of the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs may be less likely to receive a premium for their shares upon a change of control of the Company.

Purchasers of our Ordinary Shares and ADSs may be exposed to increased transaction costs as a result of the Italian financial transaction
tax or the proposed European financial transaction tax  On February 14, 2013, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a directive on the financial transaction tax (hereafter EU FTT) to be implemented under the
enhanced cooperation procedure by eleven Member States initially (Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Spain). Member States may join or leave the group of participating Member States at later
stages. The proposal will be negotiated by Member States, and, subject to an agreement being reached by the participating Member States, a final directive will be enacted. The participating Member States will then implement the directive in local
legislation. If the proposed directive is adopted and implemented in local legislation, investors in Ordinary Shares and ADSs may be exposed to increased transaction costs.

Italy approved a financial transaction tax in 2012 (the IFTT), which, beginning March 1, 2013, applies with respect to trades
entailing the transfer of (i) shares or equity-like financial instruments issued by companies resident in Italy, such as the Ordinary Shares; and (ii) securities representing the shares and financial instruments under (i) above
(including depositary receipts such as the ADSs), regardless of the residence of the issuer. The IFTT may also apply to the transfer of Ordinary Shares and ADSs by a U.S. resident. The IFTT does not apply to companies having an average market
capitalization lower than 500 million in the month of November of the year preceding the year in which the trade takes place. In order to benefit from this exemption, companies whose securities are listed on a foreign regulated market,
such as the Company, need to be included on a list published annually by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company is yet to be included on such a list. As a result of the IFTT, investors in the
Ordinary Shares and ADSs may be exposed to increased transaction costs. See TaxationOther Italian TaxesThe Italian Financial Transaction Tax.

Our auditors, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating in Italy, are not currently permitted to be subject to
inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and as such, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection  U.S. law requires auditing firms that audit U.S. publicly traded companies or that otherwise are
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) rules and PCAOB professional standards.
Because our auditors are a registered public accounting firm in Italy, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable under Italian law to conduct inspections, our auditors, like other independent registered public accounting firms in Italy, are
currently not inspected by the PCAOB.

Inspections of audit firms that the PCAOB has conducted where allowed have identified deficiencies
in those firms audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The lack of PCAOB inspections in Italy prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our
auditors audits and quality control procedures. As a result, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in Italy may deprive investors of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

Strategy

The Companys results for the year 2015 should be viewed in light of worldwide economic conditions, which are not in the Companys
control, such as the weakness of the Euro and the reduction in the price of certain raw materials, in particular leather. These external factors may not re-occur in 2016. Although the economy is gradually recovering in some regions, the general
worldwide economic environment has not recovered enough to, on its own, lead to an increase in the Companys sales volumes. Therefore, the Company intends to target geographic regions with high growth potential, such as North America and China,
through major commercial drives to gain market share from competitors, leveraging on marketing and products. For example, Italy, where the Company has its headquarters and where there is well-established distribution through the
Divani & Divani chain, presents small signs of recovery. In addition, home and furniture purchase tax benefits have been extended by the 2016 Government budget called stability law (legge di stabilità).

##### Table of Contents

Therefore, the major focus in recent years has been on further developing the Companys
products, increasing the product and price range in an effort to sustain the recovery in sales.

The 2015 budget envisaged the following
activities, which were not totally fulfilled and, therefore, continue to be top priorities for the Company:



| | i. | Increase sales volumes, in particular on Natuzzi brand sales, but also on the so-called key account channel, typically private labels featuring large volumes at slightly lower margins;
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ii. | Strengthen organization on the markets to support sales;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------



| | iii. | Improve the retail business model;
| | ---- | ------------------------------------



| | iv. | Implement the communication strategy;
| | --- | -------------------------------------



| | v. | Improve product quality and customer care.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------

In addition, in 2016, the Company will seek to
increase sales volume and margins through: a number of initiatives that have been put in place, including by:



| | i. | focusing on regions with the highest potential for growth (mainly North America and China);
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ii. | reinforcing the Retail division to facilitate specialization and promote the opening of new Natuzzi brand sales points where necessary or useful;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | iii. | implementing a test phase, which has already been rolled out in the United Kingdom, on a new retail model based on Natuzzi brand stores with wider product mix and price range, located in areas with high commercial
traffic, such as retail parks, and supported by in store communication centered on Made in Italy and Puglia values;
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | iv. | the conception and launch of a total quality project, beginning with product design, right through to delivery to the customers home (white glove service).
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The implementation of these retail division initiatives is a gradual process; therefore, immediate results are not expected. However, sales
growth to major distribution chains in Europe is expected to continue. Greater attention to the Softaly division is aimed at improving results in North America, which has traditionally been the most important market for the Company.

Although, increased sales volumes and margins are fundamental for any enterprise, this is even more true for the Natuzzi Group as it seeks to
continue to deliver upon the central mission that its founder has for Puglia  maintaining employment levels, industrial know how and a business culture in the region.

The Brand Portfolio Strategy  The Natuzzi Group, through its different product lines, competes in all price segments of the
upholstered furniture market with a complementary offer of furnishings and accessories. This differentiated offering is designed to address all market segments and is aimed at increasing sales and profitability.

Precise market segmentation, clear brand positioning and clearly defined customer and consumer targets are intended to enhance the
Groups competitive strengths in all market segments to gain market share through its different product lines:

a)Natuzzi Italiais sold mainly through the retail channel in mono-brand stores, concessions and galleries in multi-brand specialized stores and high-end department stores. The offer includes sofas designed and manufactured in Italy
at the Companys factories, positioned in the high end of the market, with unique and customized materials, workmanship and finishes thanks to the Natuzzi heritage of fine craftsmanship in the leather sofas segment. The Natuzzi Italia
product line includes complementary furnishings and accessories for the living room and, starting from 2014, also beds, bed linens and bedroom furnishings to further expand its product offerings. We believe that theNatuzzi Italia benefit
consists in helping consumers make their home a harmonious, beautiful environment. Through the style and quality of its products and the merchandising in its stores, the Group aims to position this product line in the premium segment of the market.
From the identification of market trends to the delivery to the consumers home, Natuzzi directly controls the upholstered production and distribution value chain with the aim of ensuring ultimate quality at competitive prices. Within the
Natuzzi Italia product offering there is also Natuzzi Re-vive, the Groups first performance recliner which represents the iconic product of Natuzzi Italia. In this product line, innovative technology meets Natuzzi high
craftsmanship to offer complete support as well as intuitively respond to movement. Natuzzi Re-vive is positioned in the high-end segment of the market targeting a wide range of consumers who we see as culturally open to innovation, sensitive
to their well-being and willing to rediscover the human-dimension of their lives.

##### Table of Contents

b)Natuzzi Editions product line dates back to 2005 and, in the beginning,
it was specifically designed for the U.S. market. The collection includes a wide range of leather upholstery products targeting the medium/medium-high segment of the market and leveraging the know-how and the high credibility of Natuzzi brand in the
leather upholstery industry. Natuzzi Editions products are manufactured at the Groups overseas plants (Romania, China and Brazil) and sold worldwide.

c) Private label (Softaly) is a key-account program to compete in low-end segments of the market. The objective is to recover business
with large distributors. The Group aims offers to replicate the best practices applied in connection with the most demanding customers in terms of quality, service and price. Each account (the so-called Golden Partner) is managed by dedicated
key-account teams under the following guidelines:

 accurate forecasting;

 product offerings to create production efficiency through synergies on raw materials, components and coverings, resulting in a focused
collection with few models, versions and coverings;

 dedicated manufacturing plants: China for Asia-Pacific and American accounts
(other than those located in Brazil), Romania for European accounts and Brazil for South American accounts;

 dedicated supply chain
and transportation service.

Improvement of the Groups Retail Program and Brand Development  The Group has made
significant investments to improve its existing distribution network and strengthen its Natuzzi brand.

The high level of recognition of
the Natuzzi brand among luxury consumers is the result of investments the Company has made over the past decade in its products, communication, in-store experience and customer service, thus securing a premium inherent in the brand itself. This
consumer brand awareness encourages the Company to carry on its brand development, through the rationalization of the Groups brand portfolio and enhancement of the Groups distribution network, in order to further increase consumers
familiarity with the Natuzzi brand, and their association of it as a premium brand.

During 2015, the Group opened 28Natuzzi
Italia stores, 8 of which are located in China, as well as 18Natuzzi Italia galleries. As of March 31, 2016 there were 182 Natuzzi Italia stores, of which 23 were directly owned by the Group, and 9 were
concessions in the United Kingdom. As of March 31, 2016, there were 323 Natuzzi Italia galleries worldwide (store-in-store concepts managed by independent partners).

##### Table of Contents

Natuzzi Editions as well as the Divani&Divani by Natuzzi retail chain are characterized by a
medium positioning in the upholstery business. As of March 31, 2016, there were 450 Natuzzi Editionsgalleries, 84Natuzzi Editions stores in China (of which 15 stores were directly operated by the Group), 11 Natuzzi
Editions stores in Brazil, 2Natuzzi Editions store in Israel, as well as 80Divani&Divani by Natuzzi stores (of which 75 were in Italy and 5 in Portugal).

Product Diversification and Innovation  The Group believes that it is crucial to display a coordinated product mix through its
Harmony maker offering. The Harmony maker offer is conceived in accordance with the latest trends in design, materials and colours, and includes high quality sofas, furnishings (including wall units, dining tables and chairs)
and accessories, all of which are developed mainly in-house and presented in harmonious and personalized solutions. The Group has taken a number of steps to broaden its product lines, including the development of new models, such as modular and
motion frames, and the introduction of new materials and colours, including exclusive fabrics and microfibers. The Group believes that expanding its Harmony Maker offer will strengthen its relationships with the worlds leading
distribution chains, which are interested in offering branded packages. The Group has also invested in the Natuzzi Style Center in Santeramo in Colle, Italy, to serve as a creative hub for the Groups design activities.

In recent years Natuzzi developed important partnerships with internationally renowned designers, such as Claudio Bellini, Studio Memo and
Paola Navone, who are able to capture the brands spirit in their designs.

Beginning in 2014, The Group also began distributing
beds, bed linens and bedroom furnishings to further expand its product offerings.

Manufacturing

Our manufacturing facilities are located China, Romania, Brazil and Italy.

Our Chinese plant is located in Shanghai, extending over 88,000 square meters, and has been in operation since 2011. As of December 31,
2015, our Chinese plant employed 1,410 people, of whom 1,322 were laborers. It manufactures Natuzzi Editions and private label products for the Americas (apart from Brazil) and for the Asia-Pacific market. In 2015, the Chinese plant produced
about 44% of the Groups total consolidated upholstery revenue.

Our Romanian plant is located in Baia Mare, extending over 75,600
square meters, and has been in operation since 2003. As of December 31, 2015, our Romanian plant employed 1,192 people, of whom 1,131 were laborers. It produces Natuzzi Editions and private label products for the EMEA region. In 2015 the
plant generated about 20% of the Groups total consolidated upholstery revenue.

Our Brazilian plant is located in Salvador De Bahia,
extending over 28,700 square meters, and has been in operation since 2000. As of December 31, 2015, our Brazilian plant employed 180 people, of whom 129 were laborers. It produces Natuzzi Editions and private label products exclusively
for the local market. In March 2015 the Group set up a new moving line dedicated to the Re-vive production to be sold exclusively for the Brazilian market. In 2015 the plant generated almost 2% of the Groups total consolidated upholstery
revenue. In 2015 the Group sold its owned dormant plant in Brazil. The collection of the sale price, for a total consideration of approximately 4.0 million, was completed in January 2016.

Our three Italian plants dedicated to the production of upholstered products and two warehouses are located in Santeramo Jesce, Matera Jesce
and Laterza, all of which are located either in or within a 25 kilometer radius of Santeramo in Colle, where the Groups headquarters are located. Collectively these sites extend over 120,000 square meters. As of December 31, 2015, these
sites (together with the Groups headquarters) employed 1,915 workers, the majority of whom were subject to the layoff program. See Item 6. Directors, Senior Managers and EmployeesEmployees. The Italian plants are the
exclusive producers of Natuzzi Italia products for the world market and, beginning in the first quarter of 2014, these plants also began producing the Re-vive performance

recliner. In 2015 these plants generated about 34% of the Groups total consolidated upholstery revenue. As a result of the Solidarity Contract (contratto di
solidarietà,) a significant portion of the Natuzzi Editions production was transferred from Romania to Italy in order to more evenly distribute production based on the Groups human resources needs.

In addition to these three Italian plants, we have two plants elsewhere in Italy: one dedicated to the production of leather and another
dedicated to the production of flexible polyurethane foam, as further described below.

These operations retain many characteristics of
hand-crafted production coordinated through a management information system that identifies by number (by means of a bar-code system) each component of every piece of furniture and facilitates its automatic transit and traceability through the
different production phases up to the warehouse.

In recent years, the Group has been investing in the reorganization of its production
processes, following the Lean Production approach. We believe that ongoing implementation of these more efficient production processes will allow us to regain competitiveness by reducing costs (both in terms of labor and consumption of
materials) and improving the quality of our services (by reducing defects and lead time for production).

The industrialization of the
prototyped product lines was further defined in May 2011, and in December 2011, three new production lines were completed in a new dedicated plant in Matera Jesce. We also moved the manufacturing of wooden frames that was originally carried out in
the production site located in Santeramo in Colle, Italy, to the Matera Jesce plant, thus further optimizing both productivity and logistics costs through a direct, in-loco integration of sofa assembly.

During 2012, these new moving lines were gradually introduced in all of the Groups production facilities. In 2013, the Group integrated
the following production phases in the moving-line production process within our plants:

 direct integration with wood and foam
suppliers to serve each plant according to daily needs (just in time supplying) with the advantage of reducing the stock level for semi-finished goods; and

 leather cutting and sewing.

This upgrade in the industrial process allows us to better control every stage in the moving-line sequence in terms of quality, since every
worker at every stage supervises the quality of the piece he receives from the immediately previous stage as well as the piece he passes forward; should a quality issue arise, it must be resolved immediately before getting re-introduced into the
production chain. This on-the-spot product quality monitoring should significantly reduce our defect claims rate.

Testing of limited
model samples produced with the moving-line process demonstrated a nearly 7% decline in cost of goods sold for certain Natuzzi Editions and private label products and a decline in cost of goods sold of nearly 12% for certain Natuzzi
Italia products. Following these tests, management confirmed its decision to transform all the Groups plants, substituting the old Isle Production models, with a roll out of moving-line production processes to all plants. As of
December 31, 2015 the following number of moving lines were implemented and completed: 24 moving lines in China; 12 moving lines in Romania; 4 moving lines in Italy; 4 moving lines in Brazil. Each moving line has an estimated production
capacity of up to 130 seats per day when utilized for two eight-hour shifts per day.

Beginning in 2014, we have also been designing a
software program in cooperation with the University of Lecce that assists in assigning models to the moving line to which they are best-suited and where production would be most efficient. In 2015, we implemented the software in the Romanian plant.
A final release was subsequently performed in Matera Jesce and we are currently running different releases (until April 2016) in China and Brazil.

Consistent with its commitments under the Italian Reorganization Agreements, the Company has reorganized its Italian operations by closing its
plant located in Ginosa, effective January 2014. This closure has allowed us to concentrate all upholstered furniture production activities within just three facilities with the aim of reducing logistics costs and industrial costs.

The Company initially also planned to close its warehouse in Matera-La Martella, but, following
the decision to execute the covering-cutting phase within all of the Italian plants, thus reducing space available for products assembled, it decided not to close it and continue utilizing the Matera-La Martella plant as a general warehouse of sofas
and accessory furnishings.

Furthermore, the Group also utilizes two facilities for the processing of leather (NATCO, located in Udine),
and for the production of polyurethane foam (IMPE, located near Naples).

The Group processes leather hides to be used as upholstery in
its Udine plant whose main activities are leather dyeing and finishing. The Udine facility, which had 157 employees as of December 31, 2015, of whom 132 were labourers, receives both raw and tanned cattle hides, sends raw cattle hides to
subcontractors for tanning, and then dyes and finishes the hides. Hides are tanned, dyed and finished on the basis of orders given by the Groups central office in accordance with the Groups on demand planning system, as well
as on the basis of estimates of future requirements. The movement of hides through the various stages of processing is monitored through our management information system. See Item 4. Information on the
CompanyManufacturingSupply-Chain Management.

The Group produces, directly and by subcontracting, ten grades of leather
in approximately 40 finishes and 280 colors. The hides, after being tanned, are split and shaved to obtain uniform thickness and separated into top grain and split. Top grain leather is primarily used in the manufacture of
most Natuzzi Italia leather products, while split leather is used, in addition to top grain leather, in the manufacture of some Natuzzi Italia products and most Natuzzi Editions products. The hides are then colored with dyes and
treated with fat liquors and resins to soften and smooth the leather, after which they are dried. Finally, the semi-processed hides are treated to improve the appearance and strength of the leather and to provide the desired finish. The Group also
purchases finished hides from third parties.

The Groups facility for the production of polyurethane foam, IMPE S.p.A.
(IMPE), employed 33 workers as of December 31, 2015, of whom 19 were labourers, and is engaged in the production of flexible polyurethane foam, and also sells foam to third parties because the facilitys production capacity is
in excess of the Groups needs. In 2012, IMPE obtained ISO 14001 certification in accordance with the environmental policy of the Natuzzi Group and also improved safety conditions at the plant. As part of the Groups efforts to improve its
production process, we have substituted some chemical compounds with more ecologically-friendly materials.

As a result of intensive
research and development activity, the Company has developed a new family of highly resilient materials. The new polymer matrix is safer than others available in the market because of its improved flame resistance, and it is more
environmentally-friendly because it can be disposed of without releasing harmful by-products and because the raw materials used to make it cause a less harmful environmental impact during handling and storage.

Chinese Production: The original Chinese plant owned by the Group was subject to an expropriation process by local Chinese authorities,
since the plant was located on land that was intended for public utilities. Negotiations involving the expropriation process began in 2009 and were concluded in 2011. The agreement setting for the payment of compensation for the expropriated plant
was signed with Chinese authorities on January 26, 2011. As compensation for this expropriation, the parties agreed upon a total indemnity of Chinese Yuan (CNY or RMB, hereafter) 420 million, which was equivalent to approximately
46.7 million based on the Yuan-Euro exchange rate as of December 31, 2011. The Company collected the full amount of the indemnity payment from the local Chinese authorities in 2011. During 2013, a second supplementary agreement was
signed between the Company and the Shanghai Municipality, by which the Company obtained the reimbursement (8.7 million) of taxes due and paid on the 2011 relocation compensation.

The Groups current production plant in Shanghai was made available in January 2011 to compensate for the reduction in production
capacity caused by the expropriation. The relocation process began in February 2011 and was completed, as planned, by the end of May 2011, after equipment and machinery were moved to the new plant. The relocation resulted in worker turnover of
approximately 20% because of the distance of the new plant to the old one (approximately 35 kilometers). In response, management hired new personnel, fully eliminating the turn-over effect by the end of April 2011.

Brazilian Production:The Group owned two plants in Brazil that, in the past, have been
used for the production of upholstery for the Americas region. Due to the overall appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar since these plants were opened and a consequent decline in competitiveness, the Group decided to temporarily
close the Pojuca plant (putting it up for sale in 2010) and reduced the production capacity of the Salvador de Bahia plant to a level that is sufficient to serve only the Brazilian market. In February 2015 the Group entered into a sale purchase
agreement to sell the Pojuca plant to a Brazilian company. By the end of 2015, the buyer paid the majority of the agreed sale price. The buyer completed the payment of the remainder of the agreed sale price in January 2016.

In March 2015 the Group set up a new moving line dedicated to production of Re-vive, to be sold exclusively for the Brazilian market.

In order to minimize the potential future effects of currency fluctuations, our Brazilian subsidiary began to increase its local sourcing in
2014.

After frequent interactions between the Group and top local retailers in the past few years, as well as in light of the high level
of fragmentation of the Brazilian market, which consists primarily of small producers with low levels of know-how, the Group believes that the Latin American region currently represents a very good opportunity for the development of additional
business.

Therefore, the Group intends to continue investing in the Latin American market, with a particular focus on Brazil, by better
organizing operating, sales and marketing activities, by developing the current distribution channel of Natuzzi Editions points-of-sale and by improving relations with the most important local key accounts through a dedicated private label
production. In 2016, the Brazilian plant is expected to once again produce furnishings for customers in the Americas in order increase productivity performances.

Raw Materials  The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of the Groups products are cattle hides, polyurethane
foam, polyester fiber and wood.

The Group purchases hides from slaughterhouses and tanneries located mainly in Italy, Brazil, Germany,
Paraguay, other countries in South America and Europe. The hides purchased by the Group are divided into several categories, with hides in the lowest categories being purchased mainly in South America. The hides in the middle categories are
purchased in Europe or South America and hides in the highest-quality categories are purchased in Germany and the United Kingdom. A significant number of hides in the lowest categories are purchased at the wet blue stage i.e., after tanning  while some hides purchased in the middle and highest categories are unprocessed. The Group has implemented a leather purchasing policy according to which a percentage of leather is purchased at a finished or
semi-finished stage. Therefore, the Group has had a smaller inventory of split leather to sell to third parties. Approximately 80% of the Groups hides are purchased from 10 suppliers, with whom the Group enjoys long-term and stable
relationships. Hides are generally purchased from the suppliers pursuant to orders given every one to two months specifying the number of hides, the purchase price and the delivery date.

Hides purchased from Europe are delivered directly by the suppliers to the Groups leather facilities near Udine, while those purchased
outside of Italy are delivered to an Italian port and then sent to Udine and inspected by technicians of the Group. Management believes that the Group is able to purchase leather hides from its suppliers at reasonable prices as a result of the
volume of its orders, and that alternative sources of supply of hides in any category could be found quickly at an acceptable cost if the supply of hides in such category from one or several of the Groups current suppliers ceased to be
available or was no longer available on acceptable terms. The supply of raw cattle hides is principally dependent upon the consumption of beef, rather than on the demand for leather.

During 2015, the prices for hides decreased by about 12% compared to 2014. Due to the volatile nature of the hides market, there can be no
assurance that current prices will remain stable or that price trends will not rise in the future. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsThe price of the Groups principal raw materials is difficult to predict.

The Group also purchases fabrics and microfibers for use in coverings. Both kinds of coverings are divided into several price categories. Most
fabrics are purchased in Italy from about a dozen suppliers which provide the product at the finished stage. Microfibers are purchased in Italy, South Korea and China through suppliers who provide them at the finished stage. Fabrics and microfibers
are generally purchased from suppliers pursuant to orders given every week specifying the quantity (in linear meters) and the delivery date.

##### Table of Contents

Fabrics and microfibers for the Natuzzi Italia products that are purchased from Italian
suppliers are delivered directly by the suppliers to the Groups facility in Laterza, while those that are purchased outside of Italy are delivered to an Italian port and then sent to the Laterza facility.

Fabrics and microfibers for the Natuzzi Editions/Leather Editions and private label products are delivered directly by the
suppliers to Chinese, Romanian and Brazilian ports and then sent to the Groups Shanghai, Bahia Mare and Salvador de Bahia facilities.

The Group continuously searches for alternative supply sources in order to obtain the best product at the best price.

Price performance of fabrics is quite different from that of microfibers, depending on the different range of the products quality.

Because fabrics are purchased predominantly in Italy and are composed of natural fibers, their prices are influenced by the cost of labor and
the quality of the product.

The price of microfibers, in contrast, is mainly influenced by the international availability of high-quality
products and raw materials at low costs, especially from Asian markets.

The Group obtains the chemicals required for the production of
polyurethane foam from major chemical companies located in Europe (including Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) and the polyester fiber filling for its polyester fiber-filled cushions from several suppliers located mainly in Indonesia, China,
Taiwan and India. The chemical components of polyurethane foam are petroleum-based commodities, and the prices for such components are therefore subject to, among other things, fluctuations in the price of crude oil, which remained high through the
middle of 2014, after which it declined sharply. Within our Romanian industrial plant, we have a woodworking facility that provides wooden frames.

The Group also offers a collection of home furnishing accessories (tables, lamps, rugs, home accessories and wall units in different
materials). Most of the suppliers are located in Italy and other European countries, while some hand-made products (such as rugs) are made in India and China. On April 9, 2014, the Company officially presented its new collections of beds,
bedroom furniture and bed linens in Milan. They will be produced by Italian companies that are external to the Group. Before any items are introduced into our collection, they are tested in accordance with European and world safety standards. In the
design phase particular attention is paid to the choice of innovative technological solutions that add value to the product and ensure long lasting quality. We believe that the Groups product packaging adheres to a higher standard than the
average product packaging marketed by its competitors; we prioritize our high standard of packaging in an effort to ensure better customer service.

Supply-Chain Management

Procurement Policies and Operations Integration  In order to improve customer service and reduce industrial costs, the Group in
2009 established a policy for handling suppliers and supply logistics. All of the sub-departments working in the Logistics Department were reorganized to maximize efficiency throughout the supply-chain. The Logistics Department coordinates periodic
meetings among all of its working groups in order to identify areas of concern that arise in the supply-chain, and to identify solutions that will be acceptable to all groups. The Logistics Department is responsible for monitoring the proposed
solutions in order to ensure their effectiveness. Additionally, in order to improve access to supply-chain information throughout the Group, the Logistics Department utilizes a portal that allows it and other departments (such as Customer Service
and Sales) to monitor the movement of goods through the supply-chain. The Company continues to invest in this area so as to continuously improve supply-chain tools and processes.

Production Planning (Order Management, Warehouse Management, Production, Procurement)  The Groups commitment to
reorganizing procurement logistics has led to:

1) the development of a logistics-production model to customize the level of service to
customers;



21

##### Table of Contents

2) a stable level of the size of the Groups inventory of raw materials and/or components,
particularly those pertaining to coverings. This positive impact was made possible by both the development of software that allows more detailed production programming and broader access by suppliers themselves, and a more general reorganization of
supplier relationships. Suppliers are now able to provide assembly lines at Italian plants with requested components within four hours. At the same time, a procedure was implemented for the continuous monitoring of global finished products
inventories in order to determine which in-stock goods are currently not being sold as part of our existing collections (as a result of being phased-out) and enable the different commercial branches to promote specific sales campaigns of these
goods;

3) the planning and partial completion of the industrial reorganization of the local production center; and

4) the implementation of the SAP system since January 2009, throughout the organization.

The Group also plans procurements of raw materials and components:

i) On demand for those materials and components (which the Group identifies by code numbers) that require a shorter lead
time for order completion than the standard production planning cycle for customers orders. This system allows the Group to handle a higher number of product combinations (in terms of models, versions and coverings) for customers all over the
world, while maintaining a high level of service and minimizing inventory size. Procuring raw materials and components on demand eliminates the risk that these materials and components would become obsolete during the production process;
and

ii) Upon forecast for those materials and components requiring a long lead time for order completion. The Group
utilizes a forecast methodology that balances the Groups desire to maintain low inventory levels against the Sales Departments needs for flexibility in filling orders, all the while maintaining high customer satisfaction levels. This
methodology was developed together with the Groups Information Systems Department, in order to create an intranet portal, called Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). APO was launched in March 2011 for sales coming from the
North American and Asia Pacific markets, under the supervision of a forecast manager and, beginning in June 2011, was implemented worldwide. This tool currently supports corporate logistics, operations managers and sales managers in our efforts to
better forecast the future demand for the Groups products and to improve communication between the Sales Department and the Logistics Department, therefore reducing inventory levels and improving the availability of raw materials.

Since 2012, a new methodology concerning furnishing management has been introduced. A more efficient cooperation with suppliers enabled the
Group to handle furnishings components without storing them in our warehouses, resulting in improved service and reducing inventory levels.

Lead times can be longer than those mentioned above when a high number of unexpected orders are received. Delivery times vary depending on the
place of discharge (transport lead times vary widely depending on the distance between the final destination and the production plant).

All planning activities (finished goods load optimization, customer order acknowledgement, production and suppliers planning) are
synchronized in order to guarantee that during the production process, the correct materials are located in the right place at the right time, thereby achieving a maximum level of service while minimizing handling and transportation costs.

Load Optimization and Transportation The Group delivers goods to customers by common carriers. Those goods destined
for the Americas and other markets outside Europe are transported by sea in 40-foot high cube containers, while those produced for the European market are generally delivered by truck and, in some cases, by railway. In 2015, the Group shipped
8,760 containers overseas and approximately 4,709 full load mega-trailer trucks to European destinations, serving more than 9,900 different delivery points.

With the aim of decreasing costs and safeguarding product quality, the Group uses software developed through a research partnership with the
University of Bari and the University of Copenhagen that permits us to manage load optimization.

##### Table of Contents

As far as the load composition by truck is concerned, the Group uses software designed to
minimize total transport costs by taking into account volume, route and optimization of carriers for customer orders in defined areas. To maintain service levels, we use a supplier vendor rating that measures the performance of carriers and
distributors providing direct service over land.

The Group relies principally on several shipping and trucking companies operating under
time-volume service contracts to deliver its products to customers and to transport raw materials to the Groups plants and processed materials from one plant to another. In general, the Group prices its products to cover its
door-to-door shipping costs, including all customs duties and insurance premiums. Some of the Groups overseas suppliers are responsible for delivering raw materials to the port of departure; therefore transportation costs for these materials
are generally under the Groups control

Products

Products are mainly designed in the Companys Style Center, but the Group also collaborates with acclaimed international designers for
the conception and prototyping of certain products in order to enhance brand visibility, especially with respect to the Natuzzi Italia product line.

New models are the result of a constant information flow from the market, in which preferences are analyzed, interpreted and turned into a
brief for designers in terms of style, function and price point. Designers draw the sketches of new products in accordance with the guidelines they are provided and, through collaboration with the prototype department, approximately70 new
sofa models are generally introduced each year. The diversity of customer tastes and preferences as well as the Groups inclination to offer new solutions results in the development of products that are increasingly personalized. More than
100 highly-qualified employees conduct the Groups research and development efforts from its headquarters in Santeramo in Colle, Italy.

The Groups wide range of products includes a comprehensive collection of sofas and armchairs with particular styles, coverings and
functions, with more than two million combinations.



| |  |  | The Natuzzi Italia collection stands out for high quality in the choice of materials and finishes, as well as for the creativity and details of its design. As of December 31, 2015, this line of
products offered around 100 models of sofas and six models of beds. With respect to coverings, the Natuzzi Italia collection has 15 leather articles in 76 colors and 19 softcover articles in 108 colors. The collection also includes
a selection of additional furniture (wall units, coffee tables, tables, chairs, lamps and carpets) and accessories (vases, mirrors, magazines racks, trays and decorative objects) to offer complete furnishings with the aim of enabling the Group to
become a lifestyle company.

| |  |  | The Natuzzi Re-vive, the iconic product of Natuzzi Italia collection, was designed by Formway Design Studio of New Zealand and is the subject of two patents, one covering the design and one covering the
unique mechanism made of 120 different parts. Natuzzi Re-vive armchairs are available in seven styles (Quilted, Linear, Tailored, Casual, Club, Lounge, Suit), two sizes (King and Queen), four configurations (with/without headrest  basic
chair/complete with ottoman), seven leather articles in 42 colors, and four softcover articles in 23 colors, four basic spine/base finishing and two special spine/base finishing. The finished product and each of its components are subject to
rigorous quality controls.

| |  |  | The Natuzzi Editions collection, as of December 31, 2015, consisted of 153 models. The vast range of models cover all styles from casual/contemporary to more traditional, suitable for all
markets from Europe to Americas to Asia. Natuzzi Editions focus is leather, offering a wide range of 10 leather types available in 71 colors; nevertheless a broad collection of three new fabric articles were added to the line and have
received positive feedback from the market.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The private label collection, as of December 31, 2015 was composed of about 70 models, including exclusive models for key accounts. The products are mainly leather (or leather matched with Next Leather®, a bonded leather that contains a minimum of 17 per cent of leather). During 2013 all the products already in the collection were re-engineered in order to meet the requirements of the
moving-line manufacturing process and all the new products have been designed according to this production system. This investment has improved quality, while reducing industrial costs.

The Group operates in accordance with strict quality standards and has earned the ISO 9001
certification for quality and the ISO 14001 certification for its low environmental impact. The ISO 14001 certification also applies to the Companys tannery subsidiary, Natco S.p.A., located near Udine, Italy. The Groups plants in
Laterza and the Santeramo in Colle headquarters have also received an ISO 9001 certification for their roles in design and production.

Innovation

Since the end
of 2013, the Company has been implementing a new production model based on the Lean Production principles.

The sofa production model,
under which sofas were traditionally assembled in a department-based factory (or Isle Production model), was subject to rigorous review with a view toward implementing moving line-based manufacturing processes, which would lead to
improvements in efficiency, quality, and lead time. The moving line production model improves job area ergonomics by splitting products into lighter pieces at individual phases and also coordinates workers by ensuring that they work at a similar
pace. The finished product tends to be of higher quality and produced more quickly. Tests and development of the moving-line production model at all stages of the production process still continue and are coordinated with our products design.

In the field of process and product innovation, the Group implemented since 2013 the Modular Industrial Platform System, aimed at
reducing manufacturing costs. Industrial platforms represent an industrial base common to many models that can be technically and aesthetically modified in order to meet customers requests. The utilization of such platforms grants substantial
benefits in terms of product simplification (easy assembly), management (fewer codes to be managed), quality (fewer production failures), and production costs (economies of scale), leading to an increase in competitiveness.

In 2015 the Company implemented the following new programs and measures related to the product development process and product design
and engineering systems:

1) It launched a holistic quality based approach to control the quality of the product based on the FEM
(Finite Element Method), paving the way to reduce claims and to increase customer satisfaction regarding product durability;

2) It
established a dedicated comfort team, aimed to improve the ergonomic and comfort performance of the prototyped sofas, introducing also Virtual Seating and Ergonomic IT solutions in order to increase the wellness comfort experience of customers;

3) A 3D designing System was implemented with the support of a PDM (Product Data Management) The system increases the effectiveness of
the engineering team by reducing complexity, facilitating product development activities and testing platforms and the critical quality points. The Company also improved the DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) strategy for product development
and aligned it with the Lean Production System;

4) An improved control system for the product development process was implemented
introducing a visual management system, making it possible to have a real time understanding of product development requests;

5) An Open
Innovation Office was established with the aim to lead breakthrough innovations, procure innovative materials and collaborate with third-party professionals at the most famous research institutes

Management also continues to encourage innovation and new products by leveraging on the above-mentioned innovations activities and adopting
the most updated technology that exists in the sector.

In reference to the innovation process, we began to implement the moving-line
production system in our plants at the beginning of 2014 and expect the system to be fully implemented across all of our plants by the end of 2015. As of March 31, 2015 the following number of moving lines were implemented and completed:
24 moving-lines in China; 11 moving-lines in Romania; and four moving-lines in each of Italy and Brazil.

As for the Chinese plant in particular, during the first part of 2014, the installation of the
moving-line production system was not simultaneously accompanied by the development of an appropriate IT system to support moving-line production. It also lacked an appropriate training plan for workers who had to adapt their skills with the new
moving line-based production model. For these reasons and several others, namely, the need for a reduction in complexity, the unavailability of complete and functioning moving lines, together with a production planning not adequate in terms of mix
of products, has caused a sharp decline in the overall production efficiency and productivity of our Chinese plant. Starting from July 2014, as a result, we have created a dedicated team (the lean-team) whose main goal was to increase
productivity, in particular through the:



| |  |  | analysis of the main product platforms produced in different plants of the Group;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diagnosis of these platforms, resulting in the elimination of underperforming models;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | simplification of production complexity, through the elimination of models, versions, coverings that turned out to be underperforming;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | test and implementation, in collaboration with the University of Lecce, of a new software able to plan the production of all of the Groups plants, with the ultimate goal of increasing the degree of repetitiveness
in production, so as to reduce the complexity of production not only in individual plants but also in each production moving lines;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | use of an additional software necessary to define the best production sequence of models belonging to the same family of products (i.e., having similar components and similar production times) to be
assembled and determine a correct balance between the various stations of the line.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We formally launched the above-mentioned activities in December 2014,. The results have been very encouraging with a gradual recovery in production efficiency and productivity during the 2015.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lean team, with support from all of the Departments, continued their activities to achieve these goals in 2015. The results in terms of reducing complexity and standardizing the moving lines processes have been very
encouraging. As a result of their analysis, the Company formalized the implementation of a Last Planner in the Romanian plant in September 2015, in in the Iesce1 Plant in November 2015 and in the Brazilian Plant in December 2015.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, beginning in July 2014, an experimental laboratory for simulating all single phases within a typical moving
line was designed and built at the headquarters in Santeramo in Colle. In this laboratory, our experts have been testing all ideas that the lean-team proposes with the aim of improving production efficiency, productivity, quality of finished
products and workstation ergonomics. The results turned out to be better than expected, thanks also to the proactive involvement of people within this project. All the ideas that have been tested successfully in this laboratory are expected to be
implemented in all of the Groups industrial plants. In 2015 this laboratory tested all the new models designed, and all the new work methodology, providing a strong hand in improving the efficiency and the product quality. Today this
laboratory is expanding with the addition of another production line.

The Group continues its cooperation with Italian research centers
aimed at identifying alternative product materials. Through this cooperation, we have identified a new wood material and a way to recycle other wood-based products, having mechanical properties suitable for use in sofa production. The relevant
industrialization phase is still ongoing.

Research and development expenses, which include labor costs for the research and development
department, design and modeling consultancy expenses and other costs related to the research and development department, were 3.3 million in 2015, were 5.8 million in 2014 and 7.9 million in 2013

Advertising

The Groups Communications System was developed to regulate all methods used in each market to advertise the Natuzzi brand and it
operates simultaneously on different levels: the brand-building level establishes the brands philosophy, while the traffic-building level aims to attract consumers to points-of-sale using various kinds of
initiatives, such as presentations of new collections, new store openings and promotional activities.

In particular, the Company approach
to communication campaigns is specific to each product line: the Natuzzi Italia home philosophy is narrated with the support of famous international photographers; the advertising of Natuzzi Editionsproducts conveys, thanks to the
collaboration with local professionals in those markets where the products are sold, the value of the unique comfort of such products coupled with a style suitable to local market tastes; Natuzzi Re-vive has now been folded into Natuzzi Italia,
for which it will be the new icon product.

Advertising for galleries is carried out with the help of the Retail Advertising
Kit, a collection of templates that enable direct advertising of the product lines in conjunction with the retailers brand.

The Group has also invested in its online digital channel that represents and, given the trends in recent years, will represent to a greater
degree the future of communication worldwide.

Retail Development

The Group is focused on accomplishing the goals of its sustainable Development Plan and, in particular, has achieved and continues to focus on
achieving broader and more effective distribution in the most important Markets.

The Group opened 27 Natuzzi Italia stores
worldwide in 2015, the greatest part divided among Asia Pacific (12 stores) and North America (5 stores). In addition, 17 Natuzzi Italia galleries were opened, which leads to 44 overall openings in 2015, with a total network of 180 stores and
293 galleries at worldwide level.

Among the particularly notable Natuzzi Italia stores opened in 2015 are:



| |  |  | In February 2015 the Company opened a magnificent store in the Miami Design District;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In August 2015, the Company opened a retail store at a prime location in Hong Kong of more than 1,000 square meters, which is the first store in that area and the initial results are already proving a successful
business case.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company introduced new signage to the Colombo and Abu Dhabi stores, which opened last year.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On December 26, 2015 (Boxing Day), the Company opened a new store in the Thurrock retail park in London, which is an area with a significant footfall, in a corner location. The store, which is more than 800 square
meters and which has a revised layout that was specifically designed for the product matrix and implementation of all the Retail & Marketing mix, is providing astonishing results in terms of sales.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company opened 112 Natuzzi Editions stores within last year, including 14 new mono brand stores and 98 new galleries, reaching 181
stores and 457 galleries worldwide. Most of the new gallery openings are in the EMEA region, where, according to the distribution strategy, some former Natuzzi Italia galleries have become Editions.

Natuzzi Editions retail concept has been also fine-tuned: a full set of new Display System items has replaced the old concept in order
to ensure an engaging shopping experience even in a shop-in-shop environment like our galleries.

Last year the Company also completed the
rationalization process for the Directly Operated Stores (DOS) network: 4 Divani & Divani stores in Italy were closed. The Company has closed 23 unprofitable stores (mostly in Western Europe) in less than 2 years. The latest
closures enabled us to reach the appropriate distribution environment, which will help maximize efficiency and profitability of the opening plan for this year. Current DOS distribution is based on 57 POS, out of 1.140 POS Worldwide.

The Company grants continued effort and investment to the development of efficient and practical
selling tools. In 2015 the Company was finally able to set up a digital library comprised of the entire Natuzzi Italia retail collection: each product model (sofas, beds, furnishing, etc.) has been modelled in a 3D file format and the full
list is available for downloading through the most used platform on the web (3D Warehouse, formerly Sketch up). As a result, Natuzzi is now, by far, the most represented furniture companies within the platform brand portfolio. This will hopefully
help to address the interior decorator community in order to increase business in a still almost unexploited sector for the Group.

Markets

The Group markets its products internationally as well as in Italy. Thanks to its international presence, the seasonality
does not significantly influence the Groups operations. Outside Italy, the Group sells its furniture, on a wholesale basis, to major retailers and, on a retail basis, to furniture stores. In 1990, the Group began selling its
leather-upholstered products in Italy and abroad through franchised Divani & Divani by Natuzzi and Natuzzi (now Natuzzi Italia) furniture stores. Since 2001, the Group has also sold its furniture through directly owned
Natuzzi(now Natuzzi Italia) stores andDivani & Divani by Natuzzi stores. In 2005 the Group introduced the Natuzzi Editions to the U.S. market, and it continues to be sold in the Americas through galleries and
concessions. The Leather Editions product line targets a similar customer to Natuzzi Editions and was introduced in markets outside the Americas in 2010 and also is sold through galleries and concessions. As part of the Business Plan,
the Group has started its plan to re-label the Leather Editions portfolio of products as Natuzzi Editions to capitalize on the strength of the Natuzzi name and streamline its offerings. Consequently, the Leather
Editions stores, including those stores located in China, will be gradually rebranded worldwide into Natuzzi Editions points of sales. The Italsofa product line was introduced in 2007 with the intent of competing with low-priced
competitors. In 2013, the Group decided not to make further investments in the Italsofa. All the Italsofamodels thus far developed will be progressively absorbed by the Groups other product line offerings. In October 2013, the
Group officially launched Re-vive, its innovative performance recliner, now the Natuzzi Italia iconic product, and began its distribution in the first half of 2014 in 25 markets.

The Company has almost completed its commercial and distribution re-organization in all its commercial regions, in order to better exploit
market opportunities all over the world. This reorganization includes expanding its retail presence in large department stores to increase visibility of the Natuzzi brands product lines as well as establishing a separate business unit, aimed
at generating sales volumes and developing new key accounts through its private label offerings.

The following tables show the number of
Group stores and galleries as of March 31, 2016 according to our principal geographic areas.

offices each spring and fall to promote its products. The Group also takes part in the Las Vegas Furniture Fair.

The Groups sales in the United States, Canada and Latin America (excluding Brazil) were
handled by Natuzzi Americas until June 30, 2010. Starting July 1, 2010, as a part of a general reorganization of the Groups commercial activities, worldwide third-party sales have been handled by the parent company, Natuzzi S.p.A.

Natuzzi Americas maintains offices in High Point, North Carolina, the heart of the most important furniture manufacturing and
distribution region in the United States, and provides Natuzzi S.p.A with agency services. The staff at High Point provides customer service, trademarks and products promotions, credit collection assistance, and generally acts as the customers
contact for the Group. As of March 31, 2016, the High Point North Carolina operation had 52 employees. In addition such Company has 24 independent sales representatives.

All of our commercial activities in Brazil are overseen from our Salvador de Bahia facility. The Groups commercial structure in Brazil
has been reinforced by an increase in personnel, from 12 representatives in 2012 to 23 as of the end of 2015. Sales in Brazil in 2015 decreased by 11.9% from 10.7 million in 2014 to 9.5 million in 2015 due to the work on better
sales and mix to increase margins.

In July 2014, the Group reached an agreement to sell the Pojuca plant to a Brazilian company. In
particular, a rental agreement with a sale-promise clause was signed, followed by a preliminary sale agreement signed in February 2015. The collection of the agreed sale price, for a total consideration of approximately 4.0 million, was
completed in January 2016.

In 2015, we opened 23 new Natuzzi Editions galleries in the Americas region (of which, 4 in South
America), 3 new Natuzzi Editions stores in South America, 6 Natuzzi Italia galleries and 5 Natuzzi Italia stores (North and Central America)

As noted above, in February 2014, we opened a new, directly-operated Natuzzi Italia flagship store in New York City on Madison Avenue, with
the aim of anchoring the Groups expansion in the New York-Connecticut-New Jersey Tristate area. We closed our New York City store located in Soho in June 2014. In addition, as of March 31, 2016, there were also 18 Natuzzi Italia stores
operating in the Americas that are owned by local dealers (11 in the United States and Canada, 7 in Latin America). Furthermore, as of the same date, there were 11 Natuzzi Editions stores, all located in Brazil.

2. EMEA

During 2015, the
Group continued to consolidate its position in Western Europe, and increase its presence in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (collectively, EMEA), by investing in stores and galleries. Net sales of leather and
fabric-upholstered furniture in EMEA (including Italy) increased by 4.9% in 2015 to 193.9 million (from 184.8 million in 2014), with the number of seats sold increasing by 3.8%, from 644.681 in 2014 to 668.891 in 2015.

2a) Italy. Since 1990, the Group has sold its upholstered products within Italy principally through the Divani & Divani by
Natuzzi franchised network of furniture stores. As of March 31, 2016 there were 75 Divani & Divani by Natuzzistores, and three Natuzzi Italia stores located in Italy. The Group directly owns 15 of these stores,
including the three stores operating under the Natuzzi Italia name.

2b) Europe (Outside Italy).The Group expands into
other European markets mainly through stores (local dealers, franchisees or directly operated stores). As of March 31, 2016, 72 stores were operating in Europe: 5 under the Divani & Divani by Natuzzi , all located in Portugal;
64 were under the Natuzzi Italia name (9 in Spain, 9 in France, 7 in Russia, 5 in Switzerland, 6 in the United Kingdom, 4 in each of Poland and the Czech Republic, 3 in Cyprus, 2 in each of Hungary and Ukraine, and 1 in each of Armenia,
Bosnia, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Malta, Romania, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo, Turkey and Slovenia) and 3 Natuzzi Editions. Of these stores, 19 were directly owned by the Group as of March 31, 2016 and all were operated under the
Natuzzi Italia name: 9 in Spain, 5 in Switzerland, 4 in the United Kingdom and 1 in Germany. Apart from the Natuzzi Italia stores, the Group also operates 9 concessions in the United Kingdom.

Given the size of the Russian market and its strategic relevance to the Groups future
growth, a local representative office was opened in Moscow in February 2010, with the aim of managing sales, marketing and customer service for Russia and the Ukraine, and to supervise the opening of new single-brand stores in the Russian market.

2c) Middle East & Africa. As of March 31, 2016, the Group had a total of 26 Natuzzi Italia stores in the
Middle East & Africa region: 8 in India, 5 in Israel, 3 in Saudi Arabia, 2 each in United Arab Emirates, and one each in Algeria, Côte dIvoire, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan, Libya and Sri Lanka. In addition 2 under the
Natuzzi Editions were operating, all located in Israel.

In January 2012, following the worsening of the European
Unions diplomatic relations with Iran and Syria, the Company decided to cease all business relations with these two countries.

No
impairment issue arose following the cessation of business relations with those two countries. The Group had no sales in Iran or Syria in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Our prior interests and activities in Iran or Syria are not a material investment
risk, either from an economic, financial or reputational point of view. The Group has not had, nor does it plan to have, any commercial contacts with the governments of Iran or Syria, or with entities controlled by such governments.

The Group has never generated sales in Sudan or North Korea or Cuba.

3. Asia-Pacific Region.

In 2015, net sales of leather and fabric-upholstered furniture in the Asia-Pacific region increased by 16,0% to 61.9 million form
53.3 million from in 2014, and the number of seats sold decreased 11.9%, from 175,351 in 2014 to 154.409 in 2015.

Natuzzi
Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. acts as a regional office and manages the commercial part of the business throughout the region. Furthermore, the Group also controls a subsidiary in Japan, an agency in South Korea and an agency for Australia and New
Zealand. All of these offices report to the regional office in Shanghai. The general strategy for the Natuzzi brand is to further expand the store network throughout the region, with a strong emphasis on the Chinese market.

As of March 31, 2016, 71 Natuzzi Italiastores were operating in the Asia-Pacific market: 46 in China, 6 each in Australia and
Taiwan, 3 in Korea, 2 each in Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore, and 1 each in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Hong Kong. In addition, as of the same date, the Group had 84 Natuzzi Editions stores located in China (of which 14 were
operated by the Group). The Group also maintains 15 galleries in the Asia-Pacific region, of which 11 are under the Natuzzi Italia (8 located in Japan, 2 in Thailand, and 1 in Singapore) and 4 under the Natuzzi Editions (3 located in
Taiwan and 1 Australia).

The Group is currently planning to further expand its presence in China, specifically with single-brand stores
located in medium-sized cities across the country.

The Group relabeled the Leather Editions portfolio of products as Natuzzi
Editions to capitalize on the strength of the Natuzzi name and streamline its offerings. Consequently, the Leather Editions stores, including those stores located in the Asia Pacific region, China in particular, have been renamed under
the Natuzzi Editionsname.

The Group continues to search for opportunities for further investment in the Indian market. A local
representative office was opened in New Delhi in the beginning of 2010 to manage sales, marketing and customer service and supervise the Natuzzi retail roll-out in the Indian market.

Customer Credit Management

The Group maintains an active credit management program. The Group evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers on a case-by-case
basis according to each customers credit history and information available to the Group. Throughout the world, the Group utilizes open terms in 84% of its sales and obtains credit insurance for 61% of this amount; less than
11% of the Groups sales are commonly made to customers on a cash against documents and cash on delivery basis; and lastly, about 5% of the Groups sales are supported by a letter of credit or
payment in advance. In July, the Company signed a 5-year non-recourse (pro-soluto) assignment of trade receivables with a major Italian financial company by means of a securitization program. The maximum amount of trade receivable
that can be sold under this program is 35 million.

Incentive Programs and Tax Benefits

Historically, the Group derived benefits from the Italian Governments investment incentive program for under-industrialized regions in
Southern Italy, which includes the area that serves as the center of the Groups operations. The investment incentive program provides tax benefits, capital grants and subsidized loans. There can be no assurance that the Group will
continue to be eligible for such grants, benefits or tax credits for its current or future investments in Italy.

In 2006, the Company
entered into an agreement with the Italian Ministry of Industrial Activities for the incentive program entitled Integrated Package of BenefitsInnovation of the working national program Developing Local Entrepreneurs for
the creation of a centralized information system in Santeramo in Colle that will be utilized by all Natuzzi points-of-sale around the world. This agreement anticipated costs of 7.2 million and 1.9 million for the
development and industrialization program, respectively. On March 20, 2006, the Italian Industrial Ministry issued a concession decree providing for a provisional grant to the Company of 2.8 million and a loan of
4.3 million, to be repaid at a rate of 0.74% over 10 years. Between December 2006 and September 2008, the Company provided the aforementioned Committee with the list of expenses to be recognized under this project and that have been
incurred between July 2005 and November 2007 (date of completion of the program) totaling 10.8 million. In April 2009, the Italian Government provided, as advance payment, a 3.9 million subsidized loan and a
1.9 million operating subsidy to the Company. These payments were approved in 2010 by the Ministry Committee, and operating subsidies of 0.6 million and 0.2 million were paid in April 2012 and October 2013,
respectively, as well as the residual subsidized loan amount of 0.4 million in October 2013. The Company is still awaiting receipt of 0.1 million of operating grants.

During 2008, the Italian Ministry of Industrial Activities approved a new incentive program, entitled Made in Italy  Industry
2015. The objective of this program is to facilitate the realization and development of new production technologies and services with high innovation value in order to stimulate awareness for products that are made in Italy. In
December 2008, the Company submitted to the Italian Ministry of Industrial Activities its proposal, entitled i-sofas. The i-sofas program envisions a total investment of 3.9 million, up to
1.7 million of which may be contributed as a grant by the Italian Ministry of Industrial Activities. In October 2011, the Italian Ministry of Industrial Activities issued a concession decree reducing the total investment from
3.9 to 1.9 million and, accordingly, capital grants from up to 1.7 million to 0.7 million. No capital grant was collected in 2013. The Company collected 0.2 million of grants on April 1, 2014, and
0.1 million of grants on December 16, 2014. The Company collected 0.1 million under this program in September 2015. The Company does not expect to receive any further collection under this program because the Ministry
did not acknowledge a list of presented expenses for the difference.

In April 2010, Natuzzi S.p.A., as the leader of a coalition of 19
institutions (including universities, research centers and other industrial companies), submitted to the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research a project proposal entitled Future Factory, which hopes to be financed using
National Operating Plan (Piano Operativo Nazionale) funds. This project concerns the research and development of technologies and advanced applications for the control, monitoring and management of industrial processes. This project
anticipates an overall cost of 17.4 million, of which Natuzzi is supposed to bear 3.3 million (2.6 million as industrial research-related costs, and 0.7 million as experimental activity-related costs). In March
2011, the Ministry informed the Company that it was included on a short list of companies being considered for the grant. In April 2012 the Ministry approved the Feasibility Study. As of the date of this Annual report the Company has not received an
update from the Ministry. There can be no guarantee that the Company will receive the aforementioned grant from the Italian Government.

In 2013 The Company took part in a temporary association (Associazione Temporanea di
Imprese) (ATI), under a program called MAIND, that aims to share Research, Development and Training expenses that relate to eco-innovative materials and advanced technologies for the manufacturing and construction
industries.

By taking part in ATI, the Company hopes to receive grants by the Italian Government covering its investments in the moving
line of its Italian plants

In November 2014, The Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research accepted the request for a grant
from ATI, and in particular, granted Natuzzi S.p.A. 0.6 million to cover almost all of its expenses presented under this experimental research and development project. In 2015, the Company, through the company that leads the ATI,
presented to the Italian Ministry of Economic Development a statement of expenses related to the personnel in the research and development department, as well as training expenses in moving line.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has not yet been informed of the timing of collection of such 0.6 million grant.

In September 2015, the Company presented to the Italian Ministry of Economic Development a 49.7 million investment program for
industrial development, which is composed of six programs, including programs in research and development and for upgrading its Italian facilities located in the Puglia and Basilicata Regions. The Company formally requested that the Italian Ministry
of Economic Development grant is 37.3 million from public incentives. The total amount of 49.7 million is composed of 27.7 million to upgrade the Italian plants located in Puglia and Basilicata Regions, and the
remaining part of 22.0 million is for innovation, research and development expenses.

The expected grant should be represented
by 14.0 million as a capital grant and by 23.3 as subsidized loan. As of the date of this Annual Report, the request has been accepted by the Italian Ministry for Economic Development. The Company has already started to carry out
the planned investments. The ministry officers will shortly execute on-the-spot inspections in order to evaluate the feasibility (both technical and financial) of the presented investments.

Management of Exchange Rate Risk

The Group is subject to currency exchange rate risk in the ordinary course of its business to the extent that its costs are denominated in
currencies other than those in which it earns revenues. Exchange rate fluctuations also affect the Groups operating results because it recognizes revenues and costs in currencies other than Euro but publishes its financial statements in Euro.
The Group also holds a substantial portion of its cash and cash equivalents in currencies other than the Euro, including a large amount in RMB received as compensation for the relocation of its Chinese manufacturing plant. The Groups sales and
results may be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations. For more information, see Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Trademarks and Patents

The Groups products are sold under the Natuzzi, Natuzzi Editions, Natuzzi Re-vive, Softaly
trademarks. These trademarks and certain other trademarks, such as Leather Editions, Italsofa, Divani & Divani by Natuzzi, have been registered in all jurisdictions in which the Group has a commercial interest, such as Italy,
the European Union and elsewhere. In order to protect its investments in new product development, the Group has also undertaken the practice of registering certain new designs in most of the countries in which such designs are sold. The
Group currently has more than 1,000 design patents and patents (registered and pending). Applications are made with respect to new product introductions that the Group believes will enjoy commercial success and have a high likelihood of being
copied.

comfort, Italian artisan expertise and innovative New Zealand design. This innovative armchair is internationally protected by several patents covering both its shape and all of its components.
In particular, the design patent was filed in 39 countries, while the mechanism patent was filed in 44 countries. Natuzzi has entered into a 20-year licensing agreement, signed in January 2011, with Formway that allows it to utilize the
design and mechanisms developed for the Re-vivearmchair in exchange for a licensing fee, payable in installments, and royalties representing a percentage of sales of the armchair.

As for the distribution of the products that are manufactured in the Groups plants and identified under various names (Natuzzi
Italia, Natuzzi Editions, Natuzzi Re-vive), the Group has in place with its customers (retailers and/or wholesalers) business agreements under the form of a sales license (product supply and brand usage license).

Furthermore, the Group also has supply agreements in place with large wholesalers for the supply of private label products that are
manufactured by the Groups industrial plants outside of Italy.

Regulation

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy. The principal laws and regulations that apply to the operations of
the Companythose of Italy and the European Unionare different from those of the United States. Such non-U.S. laws and regulations may be subject to varying interpretations or may be changed, and new laws and regulations may be
adopted, from time to time. Our products are subject to regulations applicable in the countries where they are manufactured and sold. Our production processes are regularly inspected to ensure compliance with applicable
regulations. While management believes that the Group is currently in compliance in all material respects with such laws and regulations (including rules with respect to environmental matters), there can be no assurance that any subsequent
official interpretation of such laws or regulations by the relevant governmental authorities that differs from that of the Company, or any such change or adoption, would not have an adverse effect on the results of operations of the Group or the
rights of holders of the Ordinary Shares or the owners of the Companys ADSs. See Item 4. Information on the CompanyEnvironmental Regulatory Compliance, Item 10. Additional InformationExchange
Controls and Item 10. Additional InformationTaxation.

Environmental Regulatory
Compliance

The Group, to the best of its knowledge, operates all of its facilities in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.

Insurance

The Group maintains insurance against a number of risks. The Group insures against loss or damage to its facilities, loss or damage to its
products while in transit to customers, failure to recover receivables, certain potential environmental liabilities, product liability claims and Directors and Officer Liabilities. While the Groups insurance does not cover 100% of these risks,
management believes that the Groups present level of insurance is adequate in light of past experience

##### Table of Contents

Capital expenditures during the last three years were primarily made to make improvements to
property, plant and equipment and for the expansion of the Companys retail network. In 2015, capital expenditures were primarily made to make improvements at the Groups existing facilities, in particular in Italy for the implementation
of the moving line production process.

The Group expects that capital expenditures in 2016 will range from 14.0 million to
16.0 million, which is expected to be financed through the improved cash flow from operations, bank facilities and through new credit lines pursuant to a new agreement with the Ministry of Economic Development (Ministero dello Sviluppo
Economico) and the governments of the Puglia and Basilicata regions, dated September 23, 2015 (the Developing Contract). The Developing Contract consists of an incentive program for upholstery furniture divisions, which is aimed
at recovering competiveness of Italian companies. According to the Developing Contract, in the next three years the company will invest 49.7 million (of which 27.7 million is related to upgrading Italian facilities and
22.0 million is for research and development expenses). MISE, Puglia and Basilicata Regions will contribute an amount up to 37.3 million (of which up to 14.0 million as government grants and up to
23.3 million as subsidized loan). In 2016 the Company plans to invest approximately 12 million for this program and expects to receive an amount of up to 5.0 million as government support related to this program. The
Group believes that liquidity deriving from its operation activities is sufficient to cover such capital expenditures even in the event of partial or total absence of government support of such developing program.

resources is based on information derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 18 of this Annual Report. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Italian GAAP, which
differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. For a discussion of the principal differences between Italian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to the Groups consolidated net losses and shareholders equity, see Note 31 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report. All information that is not historical in nature and disclosed under Item 5Operating and Financial Review and Prospects is deemed to be a forward-looking
statement. See Item 3. Key InformationForward Looking Information.

Critical Accounting
Policies and estimates

Use of Estimates  The significant accounting policies used by the Group to prepare its financial
statements are described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report. The application of these policies requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that are subjective and
complex, and which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of any reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during any reporting period. The Groups financial results could be materially different if
different estimates, judgments or assumptions were used. The following discussion addresses the estimates, judgments and assumptions that the Group considers most material based on the degree of uncertainty and the likelihood of a material impact if
a different estimate, judgment or assumption were used. Actual results could differ from such estimates, due to, among other things, uncertainty, lack or limited availability of information, variations in economic inputs such as prices, costs, and
other significant factors including the matters described under Risk Factors.

Long-lived Assets  Management

assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of the estimated fair value less cost to sell of future
undiscounted and discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset and are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors. If the carrying value of a long-lived
asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, in relation to its use or realization, as determined by reference to the most
recent corporate plans. The Company analyzes its overall valuation and performs an impairment analysis of its long-lived assets in accordance with Italian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (long-lived assets have to be tested for impairment whenever the events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be not recoverable).

Due to a market capitalization that falls
below the carrying amount of the company, and history of operating loss and revenues decline, management has performed impairment tests on certain long-lived assets where losses have been generated.

The fair value analysis of each long-lived asset in use is unique and requires that management use estimates and assumptions that are deemed
prudent and reasonable for a particular set of circumstances. Management believes that the estimates used in the analyses are reasonable; however, changes in estimates could affect the relevant valuations and the recoverability of the carrying
values of the assets. The cash flows employed in our 2015 undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses for impairment analysis of long lived assets in use were based on the Business Plan 2014-2016, adopted by the Board of Directors on
February 28, 2014, as updated by management for the period 2017-2020 to reflect the roll-forward of the Plan in the next years.

While management believes its estimates are reasonable, many of these matters involve significant uncertainty, and actual results may differ
from the estimates used. The key inputs and assumptions that were used in performing the 2015 impairment test for long-lived assets in use are as follows:

The deterioration of the macroeconomic environment, retail industry and the deterioration of our
performance, could affect our Italian production long lived assets. In performing the impairment analysis management has performed a sensitivity analysis, which results in an undiscounted cash flow exceeding the carrying amount of long lived assets
with an adequate cushion.

During 2015, as a result of the positive results achieved during the year, the Company did not perform an
impairment review of its retail fixed assets. During 2014 the Company recorded an impairment loss of 0.7 million for the assets related to retail stores in the UK. During 2013 the Company performed an impairment review of its retail fixed
assets: an impairment loss of 0.7 million was recorded for the assets related to retail stores in Italy, an impairment loss of 0.6 million was recorded for the assets related to retail stores in Spain and an impairment loss of
0.8 million was recorded for the German retail assets. Also, in 2013 the company recorded an impairment loss of 6.0 million for a specific asset (airplane) and 0.4 million for plants not in use/to be disposed of.

For a discussion of the differences between Italian GAAP and U.S. GAAP with respect to the above impairment analysis and the effect on
net loss and shareholders equity as of December 31, 2015, please see Note 31(g) of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in item 18 of this Annual Report.

Goodwill and intangible assets  Management tests goodwill and intangible assets for impairment by reporting unit at least once a
year or whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets may be not recoverable.

The Company analyzes its overall valuation and performed the impairment analysis of its goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with
Italian and U.S. GAAP. Under Italian GAAP the Company amortizes the goodwill and intangible assets arising from business acquisition on a straight-line basis over a period of five years.

Under U.S. GAAP goodwill and intangible assets are not amortized but annually tested for impairment. At December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013,
the Company did not record any impairment loss for its goodwill and intangible assets (see notes 12 and 31(d) of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report).

For a discussion of the differences between Italian GAAP and U.S. GAAP with respect to the above impairment analysis and the effect on net
loss and shareholders equity as of December 31, 2015, please see Note 31(d) of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

Although management believes its estimates in relation to such impairments are reasonable, actual results may differ, and future downward
revisions to managements estimates, if any, may result in further charges in future periods.

Recoverability of Deferred Tax
Assets  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the accounting in the consolidated financial statements of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases, as well as for losses available for carrying forward in the various tax jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount that is reasonably certain to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are calculated using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the feasibility of the realization of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is reasonably certain that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and the tax loss carry forwards are utilized. Estimating future taxable income requires estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and requires significant management
judgment, and different estimates can have a significant impact on the outcome of the analysis.

In 2014 and 2015, because most of the
Italian and foreign subsidiaries realized significant pre-tax losses and were in a cumulative loss position, management did not consider it reasonably certain that the deferred tax assets of those companies would be realized in the scheduled
reversal periods (see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report). In making its determination that a valuation allowance was required, management considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities and tax planning strategies but was unable to identify any relevant tax planning strategies available to reduce the need for a valuation allowance.

##### Table of Contents

Changes in the assumptions and estimates related to future taxable income, tax planning
strategies and scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities could affect the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. If actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions the Group financial position and results of operation may be
affected.

One-Time Termination Benefits  In September 2011, the Company renewed its agreement with the Italian trade unions
and the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy that permitted it to participate in a temporary workforce reduction program and to benefit from the Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria, or CIGS, for a period of 24 months
beginning on October 16, 2011. Pursuant to the CIGS, government funds pay a substantial majority of the salaries of redundant workers who are subject to layoffs or reduced work schedules. For the 2011-2013 period, an average of 1,273 employees
from the Groups headquarters and production facilities were covered by the program, which contemplated a surplus of 1,060 employees at the end of the period on October 15, 2013.

Pursuant to this agreement, as of December 31, 2011, the Company, accrued a one-time termination benefits reserve with an accrual of
5.4 million (for the 1,060 employees to be dismissed) recorded as a non-operating expense, under the line Other Income/(Expense), Net of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, of
which 1.4 million has been paid.

On October 10, 2013, shortly before the expiration of the 2011 agreement, the Company
entered into the 2013 Italian Reorganization Agreement with local institutions, Italian trade unions, the Ministries of Economic Development and of Labor and Social Policy and the regions of Puglia and Basilicata governing the reorganization plan
for the Groups Italian operations. The plan contemplated by the 2013 Italian Reorganization Agreement anticipated future layoffs of 1,506 employees (instead of the 1,060 contemplated by the agreement signed in 2011). Due to the complexity of
the measures envisioned by the plan and in order to better manage workforce reductions, the Company and the trade unions obtained a one-year extension of the Companys participation in the CIGS program through October 15, 2014.

The Company anticipated making incentive payments to induce the voluntary resignation of up to 600 employees at the conclusion of the period
covered by the CIGS program. As a result, in 2013, the Company increased the one-time termination benefits reserve (reflecting both voluntary payments and those that must be made under Italian law in the event of employee terminations) with an
accrual of 19.9 million, which was recorded as a non-operating expense, under the line Other Income/(Expense), Net.

During 2014, the Company granted incentive payments to 429 workers, for an amount of 13.5 million, further to the individual
agreements reached during the year. Also, the Company obtained a further one-year extension of its participation in the CIGs program (expiring on October 16, 2015) for 1,550 workers. In the meantime, negotiations started with social parties to
obtain a solidarity agreement aimed to avoid layoffs by reducing the number of daily work hours for all employees, and reduce the labor and social contribution costs. The 2015 Italian Reorganization Agreement was finally signed on March 3, 2015
and refers to a total of 1,818 workers. In 2014, remaining redundant workers amounted to 516. Based on the estimation of the number of redundancies, no accrual was posted in 2014 to the one-termination benefit reserve, since the remaining provision
was deemed sufficient enough to cover the cost of future layoffs.

During 2015, the Company granted incentive payments to 78 workers, for
a total amount of 4.5 million. In addition, 100 workers, who were originally employed at the Ginosa plant, were re-employed at the Jesce, Matera, and Laterza plants. As for the remaining redundancy, on July 28, 2015, a new incentive
payment program was launched, with an ultimate deadline of June 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, 65 workers participated in the new incentive payment program. As a result of these programs, the estimated remaining redundancy is 359
workers. Based on this new estimate of the number of redundancies, an accrual of 3.4 million was posted in 2015 to the one-termination benefit reserve. Therefore, the remaining provision of 10.2 million at 2015 year-end has
been deemed as sufficient to cover the cost of future layoffs.

##### Table of Contents

In accordance with Italian GAAP, the costs connected to one-time termination benefits were
recognized in 2011, 2013 and 2015 due to the fact that in those years the Company formally decided to adopt the termination plans (which were approved by the Companys board of directors) and was able to reasonably estimate the related one-time
termination benefits. Under Italian GAAP, the communication or announcement to third parties of the plan of termination of workers is not relevant to the recognition of the cost for the termination benefits related to the terminated workers.

Although management believes its estimates of the one-time termination benefits are reasonable, different assumptions regarding the number of
employees to be laid off, the outcome of the negotiations with the trade unions and the relevant Italian Ministries, and other factors, could lead to different conclusions, which could have a significant impact on the figures determined.

Under U.S. GAAP, considering the guidance of ASC 420, the one-time termination benefits have to be recorded in the consolidated statement of
operations when the termination plan is communicated to the employees and meets all the criteria indicated in paragraph 420-10-25-4. The effects of this different accounting treatment are indicated in Note 31(f) of the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

Allowances for Returns and Discounts  The Group records revenues
net of returns and discounts. The Group estimates sales returns and discounts and creates an allowance for them in the year of the related sales. The Group makes estimates in connection with such allowances based on its experience and historical
trends in its large volumes of homogeneous transactions. However, actual costs for returns and discounts may differ significantly from these estimates if factors such as economic conditions, customer preferences or changes in product quality differ
from the ones used by the Group in making these estimates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  The Group makes estimates and
judgments in relation to the collectability of its accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on losses it may experience as a result of failure by its customers to pay amounts owed. The Group estimates these losses
using consistent methods that take into consideration, in particular, insurance coverage in place, the creditworthiness of its customers and general economic conditions. Changes to assumptions relating to these estimates could affect actual results.
Actual results may differ significantly from the Groups estimates if factors such as general economic conditions and the creditworthiness of its customers are different from the Groups assumptions.

Revenue Recognition  Under Italian GAAP, the Group recognizes sales revenue, and accrues associated costs, at the time products
are shipped from its manufacturing facilities located in Italy and abroad. A significant part of the products are shipped from factories directly to customers under sales terms such that ownership, and thus risk, is transferred to the customer when
the customer takes possession of the goods. These sales terms are referred to as delivered duty paid, delivered duty unpaid, delivered ex quay and delivered at customer factory. Delivery to the
customer generally occurs within one to six weeks from the time of shipment. The Groups revenue recognition under Italian GAAP is at variance with U.S. GAAP. For a discussion of revenue recognition under U.S. GAAP, see Note 31(c) to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

Results of Operations

Summary  During 2015, the Company continued to dedicate significant efforts and resources to reorganizing its
operations, and optimizing and streamlining processes to reduce costs and recover efficiency.

While most of the activities included in
the Business Plan (namely, new brand and distribution strategy; product innovation; the controlling and reduction of fixed costs; rationalization of the Directly Operated Stores network; new commercial organization) have been carried out, as of the
date of this Annual Report, substantially in line with the scheduled timing, the implementation of the industrial process innovation project included in the Business Plan generated, during the first part of 2014, some unexpected difficulties,
highlighting, therefore, the need for certain corrective measures within the Groups industrial operations, which resulted in a slower implementation of the Plan than originally envisaged.

##### Table of Contents

The corrective measures introduced in the second half of 2014 had a means to recover efficiency
in our industrial plants allowed, indeed, the Group to gradually improve quarterly industrial margins during 2014, but not in a sufficient measure to return to profitability.

In 2015, thanks to the corrective measures introduced in the second half of 2014, the Group achieved positive results in terms of production
efficiency (in particular for Italian and Chinese plant) and in terms of control and reduction of fixed costs and rationalization of the Directly Operated Stores network. As a consequence in 2015 EBIT improved from -37,0 million in 2014
to -7,6 million in 2015.

On the basis of the actions described above, during the second part of 2015, Natuzzi management
prepared the 2016 budget, which was approved by the Board of Directors on November 27, 2015. The budget foresees a further improvement in the Groups results, reaching positive operating results by the end of 2016. These results will be
achieved mainly because of the positive contribution resulting from measures to improve efficiency, which were implemented during the last year.

In 2015, the Group had net losses of 16.5 million (compared to a net loss of 49.4 million in 2014). Group net sales
increased by 5.9%, from 461.4 million in 2014 to 488.5 million in 2015. Total upholstery net sales increased by 6.8% to 437.0 million due to a positive exchange rate fluctuations, a generalized increase in the price
list and a positive contribution from sales-mix. Such positive factors were partially offset by a decrease in terms of seats sold from 1,662,295 in 2014 to 1,543,259 in 2015. Other sales item, relates to the sales of furnishings,
polyurethane and other minor revenues, decrease by 1.5% from 52.3 million in 2014 to 51.5 million in 2015.

In 2015,
net sales of the Natuzzi branded products (which include the Groups two lines of product: Natuzzi Italia and Natuzzi Editions)increased by 6.1%, from 287.0 million in 2014 to 304.6 million in 2015,
with the number of seats sold decreasing by 6.6% to 851,368 as compared to 2014.

Net sales of private label products (including
Softaly) increased by 8.4% to 132.4 million, with the number of seats sold decreasing by 7.9% to 691,890. See Item 4. Information on the CompanyMarkets for tables setting forth the Groups net leather- and
fabric-upholstered furniture sales and seats sold, which are broken down by geographic market, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The Group, during 2015, carried on with the innovation and cost controlling program as envisaged by the Groups Transformation Plan,
despite encountering delays in the original schedule, as previously described:

In 2015 sales
activity was characterized by a positive development in late spring, as a result of the overall review of our product collections and their presentations in the main world fairs (Milan, Guangzhou, High Point).

From a geographical standpoint, North American market showed positive sales growth +6% and European sales increased 4.9%. A very impressive
growth, +16%, was reached in Asia Pacific.

In 2016 we expect the improving trend in our industrial operations that has started during the
second part of 2014 and has given encouraging results in 2015.

Specifically, the Group will continue to invest in product and process
innovations according to Lean Production principles. In addition, we have nearly finished the review of our commercial organization in an effort to more effectively respond to market demands, with particular attention on fast-growing
markets. The Company will also continue to further implement cost-saving measures aimed at lowering overhead costs and to develop our business relations with important customers by leveraging our capability in offering quality service and
competitive products.

2015 Compared to 2014

Total net sales for 2015, including sales of leather and fabric-upholstered furniture and other sales (principally sales of
polyurethane foam and leather sold to third parties as well as of accessories), increased 5.9% to 488.5 million in 2015 as compared to 461.4 million in 2014.

Net sales for 2015 of leather and fabric-upholstered furniture increased 6,8% to 437.0 million, as compared to
409.1 million in 2014. The 6,8% increase was due principally to a generalized price-list increase, a positive sales mix contribution and a positive currency translation, partially offset by a decrease in terms of seats sold from 1,662,295
in 2014 to 1,543,259 in 2015.

Net sales of Natuzzi branded products (which include sales of the Groups three lines of product:
Natuzzi Italia, Natuzzi Editions and Natuzzi Re-Vive) accounted for 69.7% of our total upholstery net sales in 2015 (as compared to 70,1% in 2014); net sales of the private label production accounted for 29.9% of our total
upholstery net sales in 2014 (as compared to 27.3% in 2013).

Net sales for 2015 of leather-upholstered furniture increased 6.9% to
403.8 million, as compared to 374.4 million in 2014, and net sales for 2015 of fabric-upholstered furniture increased 5.9% to 36.7 million, as compared to 34.7 million in 2014.

According to a geographic breakdown in total upholstery net sales, in the Americas (Brazil included), 2015 net sales increased by 6.0% to
181.3 million, as compared to 171.0 million in 2014, and seats sold decreased by 14.5% to 719.959, reflecting in particular the 20.8% decrease for our medium-low segment Private label net seats sold.

In EMEA, net sales of upholstered furniture in 2015 increased by 4.9% to 193.9 million, as compared to 184.8 million in
2014, due to a 2.4% decrease in Natuzzi branded offerings, and a 29.3% increase in sales of our Private Label offerings, leveraging on new key accounts. Seats sold in the region in 2015 increased by 3,8% to 668,891 units, primarily due to private
label increase that more than offset Natuzzi brand decrease in seat sold.

In the Asia-Pacific region, net sales of upholstered furniture
increased by 16,0% to, 61.9 million as compared to 53.3 million in 2014. Seats sold decreased by 11.9% in that region to 154,409.

##### Table of Contents

Upholstered furniture seats sold in 2015 decreased in all regions (except for Private Label in
EMEA where seats sold increased 19% compared to 2014). Nonetheless, the Group realized a better product mix for each product line, even if we make a comparison at constant exchange rate and without considering the 2015 generalized price increase.

According to a breakdown by brand, net sales for 2015 of the Natuzzi branded furniture increased by 6.1% over 2014 to
304.6 million, and the number of seats sold decreased by 6.6% to 851.368. Net sales of private label products in 2015 increased by 8.4% over 2014 to 132.4 million and the number of seats sold decreased by 7.9% to 691.890.

In 2015, total seats sold decreased by 7.2% to 1,543,259 from 1,662,295 units sold in 2014.

See Item 4. Information on the CompanyMarkets for tables setting forth the Groups net leather- and fabric-upholstered
furniture sales and seats sold, which are broken down by geographic market, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The following provides a more detailed country-by-country examination of the changes in volumes in our principal markets, according to the
Groups main sales categories:

 Natuzzi. In terms of net sales under the Natuzzi brand, the Group recorded positive
results in USA +22.5% (+1.6% in terms of seats), Italy +10.0% (+7,9% in terms of seats), China +29.8% (+8% in terms of seats), Spain +7,4% (+5.0% in terms of seats), Korea +45.2% (-2.4% in terms of seats), Mexico +26,2% (+5.6% in terms of seats).
Negative results were achieved in United Kingdom -1.1% (-10.2% in terms of seats), Canada -8.2% (-22.1% in terms of seats), Australia -2,9% (-18.7% in terms of seats), Belgium -3.2% (-7.7% in terms of seats), Germany -26.8% (-14.5% in terms of
seats), Brazil -0.5% (-10.3% in terms of seats), France -21.0% (-24.6% in terms of seats), Switzerland -11.6% (-18.0% in terms of seats), Israel -3.2% (-7.4% in terms of seats), Japan -4.8% (-24.5% in terms of seats), Taiwan -9.9% (-38.9% in terms
of seats) and Russia -36.8% (-39.6% in terms of seats).

 Private Label. In terms of net sales the Group recorded positive
results in USA +2.7% (-16.4% in terms of seats), United Kingdom +184.5% (+221,4% in terms of seats), Germany +12.9% (+3.1 in terms of seats), Switzerland +21.1% (+27.6% in terms of seats), Korea +2.4 million (compared to 0.0 million
in 2014), Austria +65,7% (+49.1% in terms of seats) and Israel +37.3% (+25.9% in terms of seats) . Negative results were achieved in France -23.0% (-21.7% in terms of seats), Canada -18.1% (-29.2% in terms of seats), Brazil -25.0% (-40.0% in terms
of seats) and Japan -21.8% (-35.0% in terms of seats).

Other Net Sales, principally sales of polyurethane foam and leather sold to third
parties, as well as of accessories and other revenues, decreased slightly by 1,5% to 51.5million, as compared to 52.3 million in 2014.

Cost of Sales in 2015 decreased by 0.8% to 330.6 million (representing 67.7% of net sales), as compared to
333.2 million (or 72.2% of net sales) in 2014. In particular, consumption costs (defined as purchases plus beginning stock minus final stock and plus leather processing) decreased as a percentage of total net sales, passing from 47.2% in
2014 to 46.0% in 2015. This decrease was mainly due to lower leather prices we had in 2015 (approximately 7% price decrease at constant exchange rate compared to 2014), and to the generalized pricelist increase in sofas products. In addition,
transformation costs were positively affected by the extraordinary corrective measures introduced starting from the second half of 2014 as a means to recover efficiency in our industrial plants (in particular for Italian and Chinese plants). The
result of such structured action plan was a huge reduction of transformation costs from 25.0% of net sales in 2014 to 21.7% in 2015: a 13.2% improvement achieved only in one year.

Gross Profit. The Groups gross profit in 2015 amounted to 157.9 million (32.3% of net sales), as compared to
128.2 million in 2014 (27.8% of net sales) as a result of the factors described above.

Selling Expenses increased in
2015 to 133.4 million (27.3% of net sales), as compared to 128.9 million in 2014 (27.9% of net sales). In 2015 the Group achieved considerable cost savings for personnel costs, marketing costs, store rent costs and other
operational expenses that were offset by negative currency transactions and additional provisions for doubtful accounts and warranties.

General and Administrative Expenses. In 2015, the Groups general and administrative
expenses decreased by 4.2 million to 32.1 million, from 36.3 million in 2014, and, as a percentage of net sales, from 7.9% in 2014 to 6.6% in 2015, due to cost control measures implemented in 2015.In
particular, remarkable cost savings were achieved for personnel costs (2.4 million), consultancy costs ( 0.6 million) and travelling expenses (0.7 million).

Operating Income (Loss).As a result of the factors described above, in 2015 the Group had an operating loss of 7.6 million,
compared to an operating loss of 37.0 million in 2014. In 2015, after five years, the Group achieved a positive EBITDA of 6.9 million compared to a negative 2014 EBITDA of 22.7.

Other Income (expenses), net. The Group registered Other expense, net, of 8.3 million in 2015 as compared to
Other expense, net, of 10.6 million in 2014. Other expense, net of 2015 includes an accrual of 3.4 million to the one-termination benefit reserve, while no accruals were recorded in 2014.

Net interest expense, included in other expense, net, in 2015 was 3.3 million, as compared to net expenses of
1.9 million in 2014. The increase of such expense, net was mainly due to additional interest expenses connected with the securitization of trade receivables as well as to minor interest income. See Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

The Group recorded a 1.1 million foreign-exchange net loss in 2015
(included in other income (expense), net), as compared to a net loss of 2.4 million in 2014. The foreign exchange loss in 2015 primarily reflected the following factors:



| |  |  | a net realized gain of 0.1 million in 2015 (as compared to a net realized loss of 0.3 million in 2014) on domestic currency swaps due to the difference between the forward rates of the domestic
currency swaps and the spot rates at which the domestic currency swaps were closed (the Group uses forward rate contracts to hedge its price risks against unfavorable exchange rate variations);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a net realized loss of 12.3 million in 2015 (compared to a loss of 0.3 million in 2014), from the difference between invoice exchange rates and collection/payment exchange rates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a net unrealized gain of 11.2 million in 2015 (compared to an unrealized loss of 1.6 million in 2014) on accounts receivable and payable; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a net unrealized loss of 0.1 million in 2015 (compared to an unrealized loss of 0.3 million in 2014), from the mark-to-market evaluation of domestic currency swaps.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Group does not use hedge accounting and records all fair value changes of its domestic currency swaps in its statement of operations. See
Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

The Group recorded expenses of
3.9 million during 2015 that were recorded under Other, net, compared to Other, net of -6.3 million reported in 2014. The 3.9 million under Other, net mainly reflected the
following factors:



| |  |  | 3.4 million accrual for one-time employee termination benefits;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 1.1 million mainly related to contingent liabilities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

Income Taxes. In
2015, the Group had an effective tax rate of 3.6% on its losses before taxes and non-controlling interests, compared to the Groups effective tax rate of 3.8% reported in 2014.

For the Groups Italian companies the effective tax rate (i.e., the obligation to accrue taxes despite reporting a loss before
taxes) was, in part, due to the regional tax known as IRAP (Imposta Regionale sulle Attività Produttive; see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report). This regional
tax is generally levied on the gross profits determined as the difference between gross revenue (excluding interest and dividend income) and direct production costs (excluding interest expenses and other financial costs). As a consequence, even if
an Italian company reports a pre-tax loss, it could still be subject to this regional tax. In 2015, some Italian companies within the Group reported losses but had to pay IRAP.

##### Table of Contents

As in 2015, because most of the Italian and foreign subsidiaries realized significant pre-tax
losses and were in a cumulative loss position, management did not consider it reasonably certain that the deferred tax assets of those companies would be realized in the scheduled reversal periods (see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report).

Net Loss. Reflecting the factors above, the Group reported a net loss
of 16.5 million in 2015, as compared to a net loss of 49.4 million in 2014. On a per-Ordinary Share, or per-ADS basis, the Group had net losses of 0.3 in 2015, as compared to net losses of 0.9 in 2014.

As disclosed in Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report, established accounting
principles in Italy vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Under U.S. GAAP, the Group would have had net losses of 18.9 million and 46.0 million in 2015 and
2014, respectively, compared to net losses of 16.5 million and 49.4 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively under Italian GAAP.

2014 Compared to 2013

Total net sales for 2014, including sales of leather and fabric-upholstered furniture and other sales (principally sales of
polyurethane foam and leather sold to third parties as well as of accessories), increased 2.7% to 461.4 million, as compared to 449.1 million in 2013.

Net sales for 2014 of leather and fabric-upholstered furniture increased 1.6% to 409.1 million, as compared to
402.8 million in 2013. The 1.6% increase was due principally to a generalized price-list increase in the second part of the year, a positive sales mix contribution, both more than offsetting a negative currency translation effect and a
reduction in seats sold (from 1,686,347 in 2013 to 1,662,295 in 2014).

Net sales of Natuzzi branded products (which include sales of the
Groups two lines of product: Natuzzi Italia, and Natuzzi Editions) accounted for 70.1% of our total upholstery net sales in 2014 (as compared to 72.7% in 2013); net sales of the private label production accounted for 29.9% of our
total upholstery net sales in 2014 (as compared to 27.3% in 2013). These trends reflect a shift, year-over-year, toward the lower end of our market segment of products.

Net sales for 2014 of leather-upholstered furniture decreased 2.0% to 374.4 million, as compared to 382.2 million in
2013, and net sales for 2014 of fabric-upholstered furniture increased 68.3% to 34.7 million, as compared to 20.6 million in 2013, reflecting a change in consumer preferences for lower-priced products and those with fabric (as
opposed to leather) upholstery. We anticipate expanding the range of fabric-upholstered offerings, which were not over the past few years an area of strategic focus, under the Business Plan to reflect these trends.

According to a geographic breakdown in total upholstery net sales, in the Americas (Brazil included), 2014 net sales increased by 5.2% to
171.0 million, as compared to 162.5 million in 2013, and seats sold increased by 4.1% to 842,263, reflecting in particular the 21.1% increase for our medium-low segment Private label sales, that more than offset the 4.4%
decrease in the Natuzzi branded products sales for that region.

In EMEA, net sales of upholstered furniture in 2014 decreased by 2.6% to
184.8 million, as compared to 189.7 million in 2013, due to a 2.3% decrease in Natuzzi branded offerings, and a 3.7% decrease in sales of our Private Label offerings. Seats sold in the region in 2014 decreased by 8.3% to
644,681 units.

In the Asia-Pacific region, net sales of upholstered furniture increased by 5.3% to 53.3 million, as compared
to 50.6 million in 2013. Seats sold increased by 1.0% in that region to 175,351. This growth was mainly attributable to the Groups expansion in the Chinese market, where we opened 36 new Natuzzi Editions stores, 10 new
Natuzzi Italia stores and three Natuzzi Re-vive mono-brand stores during 2014.

According to a breakdown by brand, net sales for 2014 of the Natuzzi branded furniture decreased
by 2.0% over 2013 to 287.0 million, and the number of seats sold decreased by 8.8% to 911,080. Net sales of private label products in 2014 increased by 11.1% over 2013 to 122.2 million and the number of seats sold increased by
9.4% to 751,215.

In 2014, total seats sold decreased by 1.4% to 1,662,295 from 1,686,347 units sold in 2013.

See Item 4. Information on the CompanyMarkets for tables setting forth the Groups net leather- and fabric-upholstered
furniture sales and seats sold, which are broken down by geographic market, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

The following provides a more detailed country-by-country examination of the changes in volumes in our principal markets, according to the
Groups main sales categories:

 Natuzzi. In terms of seats sold under the Natuzzi brand, the Group recorded positive
results in Italy (+5.8%), China (+30.6%), Spain (+10.2%), Israel (+15.2%), Ireland (+12.3%), United Arab Emirates (+6.2%); Switzerland (+9.4%), Lebanon (+23.3%), Singapore (+54.8%). Negative results were reported in the United States (-5.9%), Canada
(-14.8%), United Kingdom (-4.7%), Germany (-17.3%), Australia (-15.1%), South Korea (-1.0%), Belgium (-14.2%), Japan (-23.5%), France (-45.4%), Brazil (-11.4%), Russia (-26.3%), Mexico (-30.6%), Taiwan (-6.8%).

 Private label production. In 2014 the Group reported positive results in the United States (+20.2%), Canada (+29.7%), United
Kingdom (+47.0%), Brazil (+29.6%), Japan (+174.4%), Italy (+53.1%), Israel (+25.3%), Finland (+24.9%), Russia (+90.1%), Mexico (+141.6%), Romania (+49.7%). Negative results we reported in France (-4.6%), Germany (-29.2%), Switzerland (-43.4%),
Belgium (-6.0%), China (-27.9%), Austria (-6.1%), Sweden (-32.8%), United Arab Emirates (-3.2%), Spain (-49.5%), The Netherlands (-34.3%).

Other Net Sales, principally sales of polyurethane foam and leather sold to third parties, as well as of accessories and other
revenues, increased by 13.0% to 52.3 million, as compared to 46.3 million in 2013. The 13.0% increase was mainly due to revenues from sales of raw materials, VAT incentives in Brazil, and other minor revenues.

Cost of Sales in 2014 increased by 5.0% to 333.2 million (representing 72.2% of net sales), as compared to
317.3 million (or 70.7% of net sales) in 2013. In particular, consumption costs (defined as purchases plus beginning stock minus final stock and plus leather processing) increased as a percentage of total net sales, passing from 46.4% in
2013 to 47.2% in 2014. This increase was mainly due to higher leather prices we suffered in 2014 (approximately 11% price increase compared to 2013) partially offset by the generalized pricelist increase in sofas products achieved in the second part
of 2014, and by the positive impact of efficiency measures that have been introduced in 2014, including better management of outsourced materials and components. In addition cost of sales was negatively affected by higher transformation costs
because of the following events that occurred in 2014:



| |  |  | radical production changes to our manufacturing process in our Chinese plant resulted in inefficiencies during the first part of 2014. As a consequence, we were obliged to adopt one-off extraordinary measures that were
necessary in order to meet agreed-upon delivery times and not compromise our customer service;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | low productivity in our Italian plants, due to the staffing of workers on a rotational basis as required by the 2013 Italian Reorganization Agreement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gross Profit. The Groups gross profit in 2014 amounted to 128.2 million (27.8% of net sales), as compared to
131.8 million in 2013 (29.3% of net sales) as a result of the factors described above.

Selling Expenses increased in
2014 to 128.9 million (27.9% of net sales), as compared to 126.6 million in 2013 (28.2% of net sales). The increase was mainly due to higher advertising costs and wages costs partially offset by saving from the closure of 10
DOS in 2014 (in addition to one store having been closed in September 2013).

General and Administrative Expenses. In 2014, the
Groups general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.2 million to 36.3 million, from 37.5 million in 2013, and, as a percentage of net sales, from 8.4% in 2013 to 7.9% in 2014, due to cost control measures
implemented in 2014.

Operating Income (Loss).As a result of the factors described above, in 2014 the Group had
an operating loss of 37.0 million, compared to an operating loss of 32.3 million in 2013.

Other Income
(expenses), net. The Group registered Other expense, net, of 10.6 million in 2014 as compared to Other expense, net, of 31.9 million in 2013. The change against 2013 is primarily due to the accrual
for a one-time termination benefit posted in 2013 of 19.9 million.

Net interest expense, included in other expense, net, in 2014
was 1.9 million, as compared to net expenses of 0.5 million in 2013. See Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

The Group recorded a 2.4 million foreign-exchange net loss in 2014 (included in other income (expense), net), as compared to a net
loss of 2.9 million in 2013. The foreign exchange loss in 2014 primarily reflected the following factors:



| |  |  | a net realized loss of 0.3 million in 2014 (as compared to a net realized gain of 2.1 million in 2013) on domestic currency swaps due to the difference between the forward rates of the domestic
currency swaps and the spot rates at which the domestic currency swaps were closed (the Group uses forward rate contracts to hedge its price risks against unfavorable exchange rate variations);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a net realized loss of 0.3 million in 2014 (compared to a loss of 2.6 million in 2013), from the difference between invoice exchange rates and collection/payment exchange rates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a net unrealized loss of 1.5 million in 2014 (compared to an unrealized loss of 2.9 million in 2013) on accounts receivable and payable; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a net unrealized loss of 0.3 million in 2014 (compared to an unrealized gain of 0.5 million in 2013), from the mark-to-market evaluation of domestic currency swaps.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Group does not use hedge accounting and records all fair value changes of its domestic currency swaps in its statement of operations. See
Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

The Group recorded expenses of
6.3 million during 2014 that were recorded under Other, net, compared to Other, net of 28.5 million reported in 2013. The 6.3 million under Other, net mainly reflected the
following factors:



| |  |  | 2.6 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets and non-current investments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 0.9 million accrual for one-time employee termination benefits granted to laid off employees of certain subsidiaries, for which no provision had been posted in previous years;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 2.8 million mainly related to contingent liabilities with our customers and the disposal of assets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As previously described, the caption included in 2013 the accrual for one-time termination benefit of 19.9 million.

Income Taxes. In 2014, the Group had an effective tax rate of 3.8% on its losses before taxes and non-controlling interests, compared
to the Groups effective tax rate of 6.4% reported in 2013.

For the Groups Italian companies the effective tax rate
(i.e., the obligation to accrue taxes despite reporting a loss before taxes) was, in part, due to the regional tax known as IRAP (Imposta Regionale sulle Attività Produttive; see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report). This regional tax is generally levied on the gross profits determined as the difference between gross revenue (excluding interest and dividend income) and direct production costs (excluding
labor costs, interest expenses and other financial costs). As a consequence, even if an Italian company reports a pre-tax loss, it could still be subject to this regional tax. In 2014, some Italian companies within the Group reported losses but had
to pay IRAP.

As in 2014, because most of the Italian and foreign subsidiaries realized significant pre-tax losses and were in a
cumulative loss position, management did not consider it reasonably certain that the deferred tax assets of those companies would be realized in the scheduled reversal periods (see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 18 of this Annual Report).

Net Loss. Reflecting the factors above, the Group reported a net loss of
49.4 million in 2014, as compared to a net loss of 68.6 million in 2013. On a per-Ordinary Share, or per-ADS basis, the Group had net losses of 0.9 in 2014, as compared to net losses of 1.25 in 2013.

As disclosed in Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report, established accounting
principles in Italy vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Under U.S. GAAP, the Group would have had net losses of 46.0 million and 62.0 million in 2014 and
2013, respectively, compared to net losses of 49.4 million and 68.6 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively under Italian GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the ordinary course of business, our principal uses of funds are for the payment of operating expenses, working capital requirements,
capital expenditures. The Groups principal source of liquidity has historically been its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations, supplemented to the extent needed to meet the Groups short term cash requirements
by accessing the Groups existing lines of credit.

During 2014, the Group experienced some operating difficulties in the
implementation of the Group Business Plan. The Business Plan foresees, in its main guidelines, product innovation initiatives, with the introduction of the moving line production system in Group plants and subsequent re-engineering of
existing models, and a sharp decrease in fixed and production costs. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsThe Group has a recent history of losses; the Groups future profitability, financial condition and ability to
maintain adequate levels of liquidity depend to a large extent on its ability to overcome macroeconomic and operational challenges, Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsThe Groups ability to generate the significant
amount of cash needed to service our debt obligations and comply with our other financial obligations and our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing depends on multiple factors, many of which may be
beyond our control.

In 2015, as a result of corrective measures introduced in the second half of 2014, the Group achieved positive
results in terms of production efficiency (in particular in the Italian and Chinese plants) and in terms of control and reduction of fixed costs and rationalization of the DOS network. As a consequence EBIT improved from -37.0 million in
2014 to -7.6 million in 2015.

On the basis of the actions described above, during the second part of 2015, Natuzzi management
prepared the 2016 budget, which was approved by the Board of Directors on November 27, 2015. The budget foresees a further improvement in the Groups results, reaching positive operating results by the end of 2016. These results will be
achieved mainly because of the positive contribution resulting from measures to improve efficiency, which were implemented during the last year.

During 2015 as a consequence of the gradual improvements in different areas experienced in 2015 (such as those generated by corrective
measures to recover efficiency in our industrial plants, Italian and Chinese plants in particular, the rationalization of DOS and the costs savings realized for personnel costs and other general structure expenses ), the Group was able to obtain new
credit lines to support its cash needs. In particular, the Company was granted a long-term loan by Euro 5 million, and a bank overdraft by Euro 2.5 million, while the Romanian subsidiary obtained a bank facility in the amount of Euro
10 million, currently used by Euro 7 million. In addition, the existing short-term credit lines were renewed and a non-recourse trade receivable securitization agreement was signed in July 2015 with a top standing Italian financial institution,
for the sale of a maximum amount of Euro 35 million performing receivables, on a revolving basis. Therefore, management believes that the Group has sufficient source of liquidity to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and other
contractual obligations for the next 12 months. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.

As of
December 31, 2015, the Group had cash and cash equivalents on hand of 52.5 million, and lines of credit for cash disbursements totalling 97.2 million (46.9 million as of December 31, 2014). Existing credit lines
of 2015 are as follows: a)

unsecured credit line for 42.2 million; b) secured credit line 20.0 million, both (a) and (b) are secured by real estate mortgage; and c) securitization of trade
receivables of 35.0 million. The Group uses these lines of credit to manage its operational needs. The unused portions of lines of credit were approximately 29.1 million (see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
in Item 18 of this Annual Report) as of December 31, 2015. With the exception of a 5.0 million secured credit line, which is to be used only for capital expenditures for plants located in Puglia and Basilicata regions, the
majority of these credit lines are under credit facilities are not subject to any restrictions. Bank overdrafts are repayable either on demand or on a short-term basis. In January 2016 the Company obtained an additional short-term credit line of
2.8 million and renewed a 6.0 million credit line. These lines of credit may be terminated by the banks at any time. See Item 3  Key Information  Risk Factors. The Groups borrowing needs
generally are not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

Although we had 52.5 million in cash and cash equivalents
on hand at December 31, 2015, 29.3 million of this amount are located in our Chinese subsidiaries of which 14.8 million could not be available in timely terms. To the extent management intends to move the cash from China
by a dividend distribution, a withholding tax of 10% and the income taxes in Italy (equal to 27.5% of 5% of the dividends distributed) would have to be paid. Tax liabilities that would result from repatriation of cash from China have been recorded
in the financial statements.

Management believes that the Group has sufficient sources of liquidity to fund working capital needs,
capital expenditures and other contractual obligations for the next 12 months. If necessary, certain changes to the Groups plans to raise liquidity could be met in the near term through:



| |  |  | an extension of the existing trade receivables securitization agreement from 35.0 million to 50.0 million, which we expect to finalize in the coming months;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | additional long-term loans;
| | - |  | ---------------------------

Additional long-term loans may derive from the Developing
Contract, which consists of an incentive program for upholstery furniture divisions aimed at recovering competiveness of Italian companies. Pursuant to this agreement, in the next three years the company will invest 49.7 million (of which
27.6 million is for upgrading Italian facilities and 22.1 is for research and development expenses). MISE, Puglia and Basilicata Regions will contribute an amount up to 37.3 million (of which up to 14.0 million
is a government grant and up to 23.3 million is a subsidized loan). In 2016 the Company plans to invest approximately 12 million in this program and expects to receive an amount of up to 5.0 million from the
government as support for this program.

In light of the downturn of the global economy and the continuing uncertainty about these
conditions in the foreseeable future, we are focused on effective cash management, controlling costs, and preserving cash in order to continue to make necessary capital expenditures.

Cash Flows The Groups cash and cash equivalents were 52.5 million as of December 31, 2015 as compared to
32.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The most significant changes in the Groups cash flows between 2015 and 2014 are described below.

Net Cash provided by operating activities was 8.6 million in 2015 (of which -4.5 million was related to the lay-off of
78 Italian workers), as compared to net cash used in operations of -37.2 million in 2014 (of which -13.5 million was related to the lay-off of 429 Italian workers). Excluding the cash out for lay-off in both years, net Cash
provided by operating activities in 2015 was 13.1 million as compared to net cash used by operating activities of 23.7 million in 2014.

During 2015 the Group drastically reduced net working capital as a result of: a) 34.0 million as positive contribution from the
securitization of trade receivables and improvement of other trade receivables (not involved in the securitization process); and b) 11.1 million as positive contribution deriving from the decreased inventory level. These positive effects
were partially offset by the decrease in payables (15.8 million) and the increase in other receivables (4.6 million) for advance payment on behalf of Italian National Institute for Social Security (INPS) of wages of those
workers involved in the Solidarity Agreement. Such receivable will be offset in 2016 against the payment of taxes and social contributions.

##### Table of Contents

Net cash by investment activities in 2015 was 1.7 million compared to net cash
provided by investment activities of 5.8 million in 2014. In 2015 cash used for investment was 3.5 million (compared to 6.6 million in 2014) and cash provided by disposal of assets was 3.6 million (due to
the amount collected by the Brazilian subsidiary as prepayment on the sale of the facility located in Pojuca  the property will be formally transferred in the coming months of 2016) as compared to 6.8 million (due mainly to the sale
of our aircraft) occurred in 2014. No capital grants were collected in 2015, while in 2014 the Group realized a cash-in of 5.2 million as capital grants connected with the project Natuzzi 2000 and other incentive programs.
(Please see Item 4 Incentive Programs and Tax benefits).

In 2015, capital expenditures were primarily made to make
improvements at the Italian existing facilities, in connection with the implementation of the moving line production process.

Cash
provided by financing activities in 2015 totalled +8.0 million, as compared to -2.5 million of cash used by financing activities in 2014; this change is mainly due to the increase in long-term loan (+13.0 million)
partially offset by a lower level of short term borrowings used in 2015.

As of December 31, 2015, the Groups long-term
contractual cash obligations amounted to 113.2 million, of which 35.9 million comes due in 2016. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  Contractual Obligations and Commitments. The
Groups long-term debt represented 12.0% of shareholders equity as of December 31, 2015 (5.3% as of December 31, 2014) (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report). As of
December 31, 2015 and 2014 covenants existing on long-term loans were respected. The Groups principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and restructuring
of operations. See Item 4. Products for further description of our research and development activities. See Item 4. Incentive Programs and Tax Benefits for further description of certain government programs and policies
related to our operations. See Item 4. Capital expenditure for further description of our capital expenditures.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The Groups current policy is to fund its cash needs, accessing its cash on hand and
existing lines of credit, consisting of short-term credit facilities and bank overdrafts, to cover any short-term shortfall. The Groups policy is to procure financing and access credit at the Company level, with the liquidity of Group
companies managed through a cash-pooling zero-balancing arrangement with a centralized bank account at the Company level and sub-accounts for each subsidiary. Under this arrangement, cash is transferred to subsidiaries as needed on a daily basis to
cover the subsidiaries cash requirements, but any positive cash balance at subsidiaries must be transferred back to the top account at the end of each day, thus centralizing coordination of the Groups overall liquidity and optimizing the
interest earned on cash held by the Group.

As of December 31, 2015, the Groups long-term debt consisted of
19.0 million (including 3.4 million of the current portion of such debt) outstanding under subsidized loans granted by the Italian government (see Item 4. Incentive Programs and Tax Benefits) and its short-term debt
consisted of 19.0 million outstanding under its existing lines of credit, comprised entirely of bank overdrafts.

The Group
maintains cash and cash equivalents in the currencies in which it conducts its operations, principally Chinese Yuan, U.S. dollars, euro, New Romanian Leu, British pounds and Canadian dollars.

Under Italian law, the Company and its Italian subsidiaries are required to pay a termination indemnity to their employees when these cease
their employment with the Company or the relevant subsidiary. Likewise, the Company and its Italian subsidiaries are required to pay an indemnity to their sales agents upon termination of the sales agents agreement. As of December 31,
2015, the Group had accrued an aggregate employee termination indemnity of 20.5 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued an aggregate sales agent termination indemnity of 1.2 million and a one-time
termination indemnity benefit of 10.2 million. The one-time termination benefit includes the amount to be paid on the separation date to certain workers to be terminated on an voluntary basis. See Notes 3(o) and 21 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report. These amounts are not reflected in the table above. It is not possible to determine when the amounts that have been accrued will become payable.

In September 2011, the Company renewed its agreement with the trade unions and the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy that permitted it to
participate in a temporary workforce reduction program and to benefit from the Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria, or CIGS, for a period of 24 months beginning on October 16, 2011. Pursuant to the CIGS, government
funds pay a substantial majority of the salaries of redundant workers who are subject to layoffs or reduced work schedules. For the 2011-2013 period, an average of 1,273 employees from the Groups headquarters and production facilities were
covered by the program, which contemplated a surplus of 1,060 employees at the end of the period on October 15, 2013.

##### Table of Contents

On October 10, 2013, shortly before the expiration of the 2011 agreement, the Company
entered into the 2013 Italian Reorganization Agreement with local institutions, Italian trade unions, the Ministries of Economic Development and of Labor and Social Policy and the regions of Puglia and Basilicata governing the reorganization plan
for the Groups Italian operations. The plan contemplated by the 2013 Italian Reorganization Agreement anticipated future layoffs of 1,506 employees (instead of the 1,060 contemplated by the agreement signed in 2011). Due to the complexity of
the measures envisioned by the plan and in order to better manage workforce reductions, the Company and the trade unions obtained a one-year extension of the Companys participation in the CIGS through October 15, 2014. The Company
anticipated making incentive payments to induce the voluntary resignation of up to 600 employees at the conclusion of the period covered by the CIGS program. As a result, in 2013, the Company increased the one-time termination benefits reserve with
an accrual of 19.9 million, which was recorded as a non-operating expense, under the line Other Income/(Expense), Net. During 2014, the Company granted incentive payments to 429 workers, for an amount of
13.5 million, further to the individual agreements reached during the year. Also, the Company obtained a further one-year extension of its participation in the CIGs program (expiring on October 16, 2015) for 1,550 workers. In the
meantime, negotiations started with social parties to obtain a solidarity agreement aimed to avoid layoffs by reducing the number of daily work hours for all employees, and reduce the labor and social contribution costs. The 2015 Italian
Reorganization Agreement was finally signed on March 3, 2015 and refers to a total of 1,818 workers.

During 2015, the Company
granted incentive payments to 78 workers, for a total amount of 4.5 million. In addition, 100 workers, who were originally employed at the Ginosa plant, were re-employed at the Jesce, Matera, and Laterza plants. As for the remaining
redundancy, on July 28, 0215, a new incentive payment program was launched, with an ultimate deadline of June 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, 65 workers participated in the new incentive payment program. As a result of these
programs, the estimated remaining redundancy is 359 workers. Based on this new estimate of the number of redundancies, an accrual of 3.4 million was posted in 2015 to the one-termination benefit reserve. Therefore, the remaining provision
of 10.2 million at 2015 year-end has been deemed as sufficient to cover the cost of future layoffs.

Please See Notes 3(o) and
21 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

The Group is also involved in a number of
claims (including tax claims) and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2015, the Group had accrued provisions relating to these contingent liabilities in the amount of 6.6 million. See Item 8.
Financial InformationLegal and Governmental Proceedings and Notes 21 and 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

Trend information

Recent figures indicate that the moderate recovery in Italy is the slowest among the major European Union countries. According to European
Statistics Office, the country continues to struggle and youth unemployment remains at very high levels. Italy has not managed to claw back the ground lost during the crisis and get its industry and employment market on par with other European
countries.

In particular, youth unemployment numbers struggle: the low reached during the crisis has recovered only 0.9 percentage
points, compared to 2.7% in Germany, 4.2% in Great Britain and 1.9% in Spain. Confidence levels, however, are buoyant. Industrial production continues to limp along: according to the Ministry for Economic Developments Economic
dashboard figures, Italian industrial production is still more than 31% lower than pre-crisis maximum levels and has recovered only 3% on the lows reached during the recession. France has recovered 8%, Germany 27.8%, Great Britain 5.4% and
Spain 7.5%. The comparison is even starker when considering the construction sector: in October 2015 Italy hit a new low since the beginning of the economic crisis. According to Eurostat, all of the major European countries have rebounded from their
respective lows, from the 3.4% of France to the 32.9% of

Spain. On the other hand, Italy outperforms nearly all European partners in terms of consumer confidence levels, although the jobs market lags behind their European counterparts. In the third
quarter, the unemployment rate decreased to 11.5% - in comparison to 4.5% in Germany and 5.2% in the United Kingdom. Spain however still reports a very high unemployment rate of 21.6%, although Madrid has recovered 4.7% from the worst level of the
crisis compared to Romes 1.6%. The French case differs: the unemployment rate is lower than Italy at 10.8%, but it is at its worst level in the last 18 years. The unemployed estimate for November decreased 1.6% (-48 thousand); the reduction
concerns both men and women and persons under 50 years old. The unemployment rate, in contraction since July, decreased again last month by 0.2 percentage points to 11.3%. Italy has the lowest youth employment rate: for those between 15 and 24 it is
15.1%, compared to 28% for France, 43.8% for Germany, 48.8% for the United Kingdom and 17.7% for Spain. The recovery on the lowest point of the crisis is 0.9 points, compared to 1.9% in Spain, 2.7% in Germany and 4.2% in Great Britain.

The Ministry for Economic Development states, ...the figures show that Italy is on the road to recovery...a series of positive
indicators have emerged, particularly with regard to household and business confidence, consumption levels and employment. Industrial production continues to expand, as does the use of production capacity. In Europe, economic expansion
strengthened from the further drop in the price of oil and the latest weakening of the Euro. This is counter-balanced however by general global uncertainty stemming from terrorist attacks and the military escalation in Syria on the one hand, and the
threat of deflation still present in many countries on the other.

The weak global economy has impacted Italian exports and production
expansion, which had returned at the beginning of the year, with more contained growth expected in the fourth quarter of 2015 (+0.2%).

In
this environment, industrial production in October performed ahead of expectations (+0.5% on the previous month and +2.9% year-on-year) due to increased activity across the main industrial categories (consumer, intermediaries and capital goods).
According to the Prometeia estimates, Italian industry in 2015 returned average revenue growth of 1.4%, supported by fresh domestic demand, in particular for durable goods. The automotive sector alone will contribute approximately two- thirds. The
driving force of this sector is confirmed also by increased vehicle manufacturing and new car registrations (+15.4% in the first 11 months of 2015).

Consumer confidence levels also continue to consolidate, rising in November to 118.4 (from 117.0), thanks also to an improved employment
outlook. The strong numbers support consumption, which in December was expected to increase after seven years of crisis, driven also by online sales (+16% on the preceding year). Private consumptionand gradually also investmentsare
contributing to improved domestic demand, supported also by government measures, as demonstrated by machine tool order numbers. The national consumer price index in November grew 0.1% (year-on-year) following an increase in food and service prices
and a further reduction in energy prices (-6.8%). Inflation, net of energy goods, was 0.8%. In December 2015, according to preliminary estimates, the national consumer price index was flat on the previous month and increased 0.1% on December 2014
(same as November). 2015 average inflation slowed for the third consecutive yearto 0.1% from 0.2% in 2014.

Stable inflation to
December 2015 was due to countering trends: on the one hand a rise in the price of recreational, cultural and personal care services (+0.9%, from +0.6% in November) and a reduced drop in energy prices (-8.8%, from -11.2% in November); in addition,
we consider the reversal in transport service prices (-1.7%, from +0.6% in November) and the slowed increase in non-processed food prices (+2.2%, from +3.2%).

The average public debt to GDP ratio over the first three quarters of 2015 was 2.9%, improving 0.4% in the same period of the previous year.

The tax burden in the third quarter was 41.4%, slightly increasing (+0.1% on the same period of
the previous year). The average tax burden over the first three months was 41.2%, stable on the same period of 2014. The November 2015 figures show an increase in tax inflows of 9.2% on the previous year.

In the third quarter of 2015, household disposable income at current values increased 1.3% on the preceding quarter and 1.5% on the
corresponding period of 2014.

Household purchasing power, which takes into account also consumer price movements, in the third quarter of
2015 increased 1.4% on the preceding quarter and 1.3% on the third quarter of 2014. In the first three quarters of 2015, purchasing power grew 0.9% compared to the same period of 2014.

Household spending on end-goods in current values increased 0.4% on the preceding quarter and 1.2% on the corresponding period of 2014.

In the third quarter of 2015, the household propensity to save was 9.5%, up 0.9% on the preceding quarter and 0.3% on the corresponding
quarter of 2014.

The household investment rate in the third quarter of 2015 was 6%, reducing 0.1% both on the preceding quarter and on
the third quarter of 2014.

For the first time, after four years, house prices rose (+0.2%). The increase was driven by the rise in the
price of new homes (+1.4%); for existing homes however a very slight reduction was seen (-0.1%). The increase on the preceding period and the confirmation of the easing of the year-on-year reductions in house prices is reflected in the recovery of
the residential property market in terms of sales numbers (+10.8% on an annual basis in the third quarter of 2015 according to the Property Market Research Center of the Tax Agency). The differential between the year-on-year movement in the price of
existing homes and those of new homes of 2.4% began to extend after reaching a minimum in the second quarter of 1.7%. On average, in the first three quarters of 2015, house prices decreased 2.9% on the same period of the previous year, with a
reduction of 1.4% for new homes and of 3.5% for existing homes.

In October 2015 exports reported a slight monthly reduction (-0.4%) due
to poor sales on non-EU markets (-1.7%), against flat imports. In the first ten months of the year exports increased on the previous year (+3.5% in value terms and +1.6% in volume terms) and the trade surplus was close to 35 billion (63.3 billion
net of energy).

The recovery in the jobs market in recent months came to an end in October with the number of employed persons reducing
0.2%. On average for the August-October quarter, all jobs market indicators highlight however an improvement: the number of employed rose (+0.1%, +32 thousand units). With regard to the private sector, according to INPS figures, long-term
contracts signed during the first ten months of 2015 increased 29.8%. 55% of hires and transfers (data available to September) benefitted from the three-year contribution exemption introduced by the 2015 Stability Law.

In this general picture of Italian economic recovery, credit conditions since the beginning of the year have appeared more favorable: to
October household loans increased (+0.6%) and the total amount of defaults, although still at high levels, for the first time showed signs of containment (from 200.4 billion in September to 199). The Central Guarantee Fund contributes to mitigating
the effects of the prolonged credit crunch: from the setting up of the Fund (2002) to November 30, 2015, 503,000 operations have taken place for guarantees totaling Euro 45.9 billion, with loans of Euro 78.9 billion.

Global expectations have been impacted by uncertainties in China: in the major advanced economies
economic expansion continues, although the slowdown in the Chinese economy has impacted raw material prices and emerging economy activity. The fall back in China from high levels of investment and debt exposes the country to fragility and is a risk
for the global economy. The uncertain global economic outlook influenced the decision of the Federal Reserve not to increase benchmark rates in September.

In the Eurozone, the most recent figures confirm the continuation of the recovery in the summer. The global slowdown has so far had contained
effects on the zone, but into the future constitutes a risk for growth and inflation. This latter returned in September to slightly negative numbers (-0.1% on the twelve months), also following the drop in the price of oil. The expansionary measures
adopted by the Executive Board of the ECB have supported economic activity and the credit recovery. The ECB will make recourse to all tools available, including the option to change the size, composition and duration of the public and private bond
purchase program, where considered necessary to offset threats to growth and ensure the return of inflation to values which ensure stable prices. The fraud perpetuated by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen impacted the stock markets and
confidence in Germany, giving rise to a new element of uncertainty for the European economies. The possible repercussions are still difficult to quantify; such will depend on the extent of the effects on the auto sector overall (which so far has
played a crucial role in the recovery), on German industry and on knock-on effects in other countries, in addition to those on investor and consumer expectations.

Finally, the economic environment presents contrasting indications: signs of recovery are certainly there, although supported by external
factors such as weak exchange rates and low oil prices which are subject to change. The slowdown of China and the emerging economies and the geo-political situation (in the Middle East, among others) require prudent expectations, forecasts and
investment decisions.

New Accounting Standards under Italian and U.S. GAAP

Process of Transition to International Accounting Standards  Following the entry into force of European Regulation No. 1606
of July 2002, EU companies whose securities are traded on regulated markets in the EU have been required, since 2005, to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), formerly known as IAS, in the preparation of their
consolidated financial statements. Given that the Companys securities are only traded on the NYSE, the Company is not subject to this requirement and continues to report its financial results in accordance with Italian GAAP and to provide the
required reconciliation of certain items to U.S. GAAP in the Companys Annual Reports on Form 20-F.

Italian GAAP 
During 2014, the Italian Accounting Profession completed the review and update of the Italian accounting principles, started in 2010. The new set of accounting principles is effective for financial statements closed as of December 31, 2014. The
impact resulting from the adoption of the new standards, where applicable, have been disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. There are no additional recently issued accounting standards under Italian GAAP that have not been
adopted by the Group.

U.S. GAAP  Recently issued but not yet adoptedU.S. accounting pronouncements
relevant for the Company are outlined below:

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15: Presentation of Financial
Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard provides guidance around managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is
substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Groups financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from contract with customers. The main objective in developing this update
is to provide guidance and conformity with respect to the fact that previous revenue recognition requirements in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) differ from those in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and both
sets of requirements were in need of improvement. Previous revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes
resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common
revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date established in ASU 2014-09. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are now effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2017.

On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08  Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic
606). The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.

In May 2016, the
FASB issued ASU 2016-12 Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and
contract modifications at transition.

The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in
which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company
has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the appropriate transition method and the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On August 18, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15  Interest  Imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30). This Accounting
Standards Update adds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting about the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit
arrangements which were announced at ASU 2015-03. The Company has chosen not to early adopt this ASU 2015-03 and will disclose that we do not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17  Simplify Balance Sheet Classification of
Deferred Taxes. Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are
classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified
according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this Update require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a
classified statement of financial position. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in
fiscal year 2016 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

On January 5, 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016  01 Financial Instruments 
Overall  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this Update require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income
(other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this Update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the
total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In
addition, the amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement for to disclose the method(s) and
significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

On February 25, 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016  02  Leases, Topic 842. The amendments in this Update are to increase
transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has chosen not to early adopt this standard. The adoption of this standard, although it will increase reported assets and liabilities, is not
expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

Compensation of Directors and
Officers

As a matter of Italian law and under our by-laws, the compensation of executive directors, including the CEO, is determined
by the board of directors, after consultation with the board of statutory auditors, within a maximum amount established by the Companys shareholders, while the Companys shareholders determine the base compensation for all board members,
including non-executive directors. Compensation of the Companys executive officers (for performing their role as such) is determined by the Chief Executive Officer. A list of significant differences between the Groups corporate
governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) may be found at www.natuzzi.com. See Item 16G. Corporate Governance on the CompanyStrategy for a description
of these significant differences. None of our directors or senior executive officers is party to a contract with the Company that would entitle such persons to benefits upon the termination of service as a director or employment, as the case may be.

Statutory Auditors

The following table sets forth the names of the three members of the board of statutory auditors of the Company and the two alternate
statutory auditors and their respective positions for the periods covered by this Annual Report. The current board of statutory auditors was elected for a three-year term on April 27, 2016, at the annual general shareholders meeting.



|                     |  |          
|-------------------- |  | ---------
|Name                 |  | Position

During 2015, the Groups statutory auditors received approximately 0.1 million in compensation
in the aggregate for their services to the Company and its Italian subsidiaries.

According to Rule 10A-3 (Rule 10A-3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), unless an exemption applies, companies whose securities are listed on U.S. national securities exchanges must establish an audit committee meeting specific requirements. In
particular, all members of this committee must be independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 and the committee must adopt a written charter. The committees prescribed responsibilities include (i) the appointment, compensation, retention and
oversight of the external auditors; (ii) establishing procedures for the handling of whistle blower complaints; (iii) discussion of financial reporting and internal control issues and critical accounting policies (including
through executive sessions with the external auditors); (iv) the approval of audit and non-audit services performed by the external auditors; and (v) the adoption of an annual performance evaluation. A company must also have an internal
audit function, which may be out-sourced, as long as it is not out-sourced to the external auditor.

The Company relies on an exemption
from these audit committee requirements provided by Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3) for foreign private issuers with a board of statutory auditors established in accordance with local law or listing requirements and subject to independence
requirements under local law or listing requirements. See Item 16D. Exemption from Listing Standards for Audit Committees for more information.

three-year period ending with the approval of 2018 financial statements. Accordingly, the engagement of Ernst & Young was not renewed.

The agreements signed during 2015 have represented a crucial phase. Between October 2013 and October 2015, 500
blue collar workers voluntarily terminated their employment with Company, which led to a gradual reduction of redundant structural staff in the manufacturing and innovation processes.

With respect to the improvement of manufacturing levels, on March 3, 2015, the Minister of Labour and Social Politics signed new
agreements focused on increasing competitiveness and reducing redundant structural staff in the Ginosa plant. Between 2015 and 2018, pursuant to these agreements, the Group intends to recover competitiveness through product innovation, by
simplifying product processes (overcoming management and product inefficiencies), and maintaining occupational levels (Solidarity Contracts).

The Company reduced the general structural surplus, from 525 units in March 2015 to 360 work units at the end of year 2015, mainly as a result
of implementing the inventive plan and through strong technology investment plans that are already in place in Matera Jesce (MT) and Laterza (TA) plant and scheduled in Santeramo Jesce (BA), Santeramo lazzitiello (BA) e Matera La Martella (MT) in
2016. The new organizational model in Matera Jesce plant and the related investment has allowed the Company to reduce 100 more units. The number of blue collar workers committed to these operations increased from 1,818 in the year 2014 to 1,918 in
the year 2015.All blue collar workers have entered into solidarity contracts. The number of work hours recorded in 2015 decreased by 37% without strikes or social conflict.

In 2016, the Reorganisation Plan will continue to reinforce the competitiveness of plants through the following actions:



| | 1. | By defining industrial asset with the conversion of production plant in an integrated and functional way.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | By investing in product and process innovation between 2015 and 2018.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | By maintaining occupational levels through the application of solidarity contracts per 1,918 units.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to manage 359 redundant units, the Company plans to recommend to move these units to a new work environment through the ASSIST
project. This project offers a set of incentives to third-party companies that hire a certain number of our redundant units. As of the date of this Annual Report, none of our redundant units have been hired by third-party companies.

Human Resources plays a distinct role in the achievement of the
Companys success and, therefore, the Company is actively engaged in building and improving the systems and processes dedicated to employees.

At Natuzzi, we know that our employees want to make a difference and achieve professional goals; to this end, the Companys Management is
strongly committed to the construction of processes and systems that help employees to be successful.

We strive to improve and grow our
human capital by, inter alia:



| |  |  | Recognizing and knowing how to evaluate job performance fairly and properly,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Promote professional development for individuals.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Maintaining alignment between the Companys goals with individual expectations,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Providing attractive career paths.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

The more professional development meets the needs of
employees, the greater their motivation.

As part of our effort to improve and grow our human capital and support the success of our
employees, we are re-designing the Natuzzi Performance Appraisal System. We re-designed the system by integrating with all other processes for personnel management processes, with the goal of improving our ability to identify the right person for
the right role and reward talent.

Training has always been a fundamental cornerstone of Natuzzis organization and, as such, Natuzzi
has and continues to support the development and the maintenance of staff skills. In 2015, training courses were held for 1,061 units for a total of 52,718 hours.

 The training courses dealt with the following topics:

 Lean production and Lean Office training. A large part of operational staff has participated in trainings regarding the new work
environment methods (Lean), which aims to reduce production costs through the decrease of waste and the resource optimizing.


Quality training in manufacturing field and Golden Partner management training. This latest course has been aimed at placing greater attention on customer needs and reaching Total Quality Management System logics.

 Practical education and on-the-job training to replace the staff in CIGS.

courses is to optimize profits and the Companys competitive position by increasing employees ability to identify the most promising market segments and how to effectively exploit these segments. In addition, we offer a training course on
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as a result of its impact on our system of internal control. Finally, we also offer course on negotiation, purchasing, digital photography visual, merchandising and e-learning.

international orientation) and one with Polytechnic of Bari (point of reference about research and innovation). We have organized recruiting days for students from these school and company testimonies, such as the University of Economics 
International Markets  in Bari. In addition, the Company has granted several six-month internship positions to young graduates, which has enabled it to work with new brains from academic environments.

In addition, the Natuzzi Family has a right of first refusal to purchase all the rights, warrants
or other instruments which The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary under the Deposit Agreement, determines may not lawfully or feasibly be made available to owners of ADSs in connection with each rights offering, if any, made to holders of
Ordinary Shares. None of the shares held by the above shareholders has any special voting rights.

As of April 27, 2016, 54,853,045
Ordinary Shares were outstanding. As of the same date, there were 21,807,268 ADSs (equivalent to 21,807,268 Ordinary Shares) outstanding. The ADSs represented 39.8% of the total number of Natuzzi Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Since certain Ordinary Shares and ADSs are held by brokers or other nominees, the number of direct record holders in the United States may not
be fully indicative of the number of direct beneficial owners in the United States or of where the direct beneficial owners of such shares are resident.

Related Party Transactions

Transactions with related parties amounted to 6.0 million in 2015 sales and to 6.8 million in 2014 sales.

Other than the foregoing transactions, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was a party to a transaction with a related party that
was material to the Company or the related party, or any transaction that was unusual in its nature or conditions, involving goods, services, or tangible or intangible assets, nor is any such transaction presently proposed. During the same period,
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries made any loans to or for the benefit of any related party.

ITEM8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Consolidated Financial Statements

Please refer to Item 18. Financial Statements of this Annual Report.

Export Sales

Export sales from Italy totaled approximately 113.5 million in 2015, up 14.8% from 2014. That figure represents 26.0% of the
Groups 2015 net leather and fabric-upholstered furniture sales.

Legal and Governmental Proceedings

The Group is involved in tax and legal proceedings, including several minor claims and legal actions, arising in the ordinary course
of business with suppliers and employees. The provision recorded against these claims is 6.6 million as of December 31, 2015 (7.0 million as of December 31, 2014).

Accruals of 0.9 million were made in 2015 for such contingent liabilities.

Apart from the proceedings described above, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any legal or governmental proceeding
that is pending or, to the Companys knowledge, threatened or contemplated against the Company or any such subsidiary that, if determined adversely to the Company or any such subsidiary, would have a materially adverse effect, either
individually or in the aggregate, on the business, financial condition or results of the Groups operations.

Dividends

Considering that the Group reported a negative net result in 2015 and considering the capital requirements necessary to implement the
restructuring of the operations and its planned retail and marketing activities, the Group decided not to distribute dividends in respect of the year ended on December 31, 2015. The Group has also not paid dividends in any of the prior three
fiscal years.

The payment of future dividends will depend upon the Companys earnings and financial condition, capital requirements,
governmental regulations and policies and other factors. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that dividends in future years will be paid at a rate similar to dividends paid in past years or at all.

Dividends paid to owners of ADSs or Ordinary Shares who are United States residents qualifying under the Income Tax Convention will generally
be subject to Italian withholding tax at a maximum rate of 15%, provided that certain certifications are given timely. Such withholding tax will be treated as a foreign income tax which U.S. owners may elect to deduct in computing their taxable
income, or, subject to the limitations on foreign tax credits generally, credit against their United States federal income tax liability. See Item 10. Additional InformationTaxationTaxation of Dividends.

ITEM10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

By-laws

The following is a summary of certain information concerning the Companys shares and By-laws (statuto) and of Italian law
applicable to Italian stock corporations whose shares are not listed on a regulated market in the European Union, as in effect at the date of this Annual Report. In particular, Italian issuers of shares that are not listed on a regulated market of
the European Community are governed by the rules of the Italian civil code (the Civil Code). The summary contains all the information that the Company considers to be material regarding the shares, but does not purport to be complete and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the By-laws or Italian law, as the case may be.

General  The issued share
capital of the Company consists of 54,853,045 Ordinary Shares, with a par value of 1.00 per share. All the issued shares are fully paid, non-assessable and in registered form.

The Company is registered with the Companies Registry of Bari at No. 261878, with its registered office in Santeramo in Colle
(Bari), Italy.

##### Table of Contents

As set forth in Article 3 of the By-laws, the Companys corporate purpose is the production,
marketing and sale of sofas, armchairs, furniture in general and raw materials used for their production. The Company is generally authorized to take any actions necessary or useful to achieve its corporate purpose.

Authorization of Shares  At the extraordinary meeting of the Companys shareholders on July 23, 2004, shareholders
authorized the Companys board of directors to carry out a free capital increase of up to 500,000, and a capital increase against payment of up to 3.0 million to be issued, in connection with the grant of stock options to
employees of the Company and of other Group companies. On January 24, 2006 the Companys board of directors, in accordance with the Regulations of the Natuzzi Stock Incentive Plan 2004-2009 (which was approved by the board of
directors in a meeting held on July 23, 2004), decided to issue without consideration 56,910 new Ordinary Shares in favor of the beneficiary employees. Consequently, the number of Ordinary Shares increased on the same date from 54,681,628 to
54,738,538. On January 23, 2007, the Companys board of directors, in accordance with the Regulations of the Natuzzi Stock Incentive Plan 2004-2009, decided to issue without consideration 85,689 new Ordinary Shares in favor of
beneficiary employees. Consequently, the number of Ordinary Shares increased on the same date from 54,738,538 to 54,824,227. On January 24, 2008 the Companys board of directors, in accordance with the Regulations of the Natuzzi
Stock Incentive Plan 2004-2009, decided to issue without consideration 28,818 new Ordinary Shares in favor of the beneficiary employees. Consequently, the number of Ordinary Shares increased on the same date from 54,824,227 to 54,853,045, the
current number.

Form and Transfer of Shares  The Companys Ordinary Shares are in certificated form and are freely
transferable by endorsement of the share certificate by or on behalf of the registered holder, with such endorsement either authenticated by a notary in Italy or elsewhere or by a broker-dealer or a bank in Italy. The transferee must request that
the Company enter his name in the register of shareholders in order to exercise his rights as a shareholder of the Company.

Dividend
Rights  Payment by the Company of any annual dividend is proposed by the board of directors and is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting. Before dividends may be paid out of the Companys
unconsolidated net income in any year, an amount at least equal to 5% of such net income must be allocated to the Companys legal reserve until such reserve is at least equal to one-fifth of the par value of the Companys issued share
capital. If the Companys capital is reduced as a result of accumulated losses, dividends may not be paid until the capital is reconstituted or reduced by the amount of such losses. The Company may pay dividends out of available retained
earnings from prior years, provided that, after such payment, the Company will have a legal reserve at least equal to the legally required minimum. No interim dividends may be approved or paid.

Dividends will be paid in the manner and on the date specified in the shareholders resolution approving their payment (usually within 30
days of the annual general meeting). Dividends that are not collected within five years of the date on which they become payable are forfeited to the benefit of the Company. Holders of ADSs will be entitled to receive payments in respect of
dividends on the underlying shares through The Bank of New York Mellon, as ADR depositary, in accordance with the deposit agreement relating to the ADRs.

Voting Rights  Registered holders of the Companys Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote per Ordinary Share.

As a registered shareholder, the Depositary (or its nominee) will be entitled to vote the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs. The Deposit
Agreement requires the Depositary (or its nominee) to accept voting instructions from holders of ADSs and to execute such instructions to the extent permitted by law. Neither Italian law nor the Companys By-laws limit the right of non-resident
or foreign owners to hold or vote shares of the Company.

Board of directors  Under Italian law and pursuant to the
Companys By-laws, the Company may be run by a sole director or by a board of directors, consisting of seven to eleven individuals. The Company is currently run by a board of directors composed of eight individuals (see Item 6. Directors,
Senior Management and Employees). The board of directors is elected by the Assembly of Shareholders at a shareholders meeting, for the period established at the time of election but in no case for longer than three fiscal years. A
director, who may, but is not required to be a shareholder of the Company, may be reappointed for successive terms. The board of directors has the full power of ordinary and extraordinary management of the Company and in particular may perform all
acts it deems advisable for the achievement of the Companys corporate purposes, except for the actions reserved by applicable law or the By-laws to a vote of the shareholders at an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders meeting. See also
Item 10. Additional InformationMeetings of Shareholders.

##### Table of Contents

The board of directors must appoint a chairman (presidente) and may appoint a
vice-chairman. The chairman of the board of directors is the legal representative of the Company. The board of directors may delegate certain powers to one or more managing directors (amministratori delegati), determine the nature and scope
of the delegated powers of each director and revoke such delegation at any time. The managing directors must report to the board of directors and board of statutory auditors at least every 180 days on the Companys business and the main
transactions carried out by the Company or by its subsidiaries.

The board of directors may not delegate certain responsibilities,
including the preparation and approval of the draft financial statements, the approval of merger and de-merger plans to be presented to shareholders meetings, increases in the amount of the Companys share capital or the issuance of
convertible debentures (if any such power has been delegated to the board of directors by vote of the extraordinary shareholders meeting) and the fulfilment of the formalities required when the Companys capital has to be reduced as a
result of accumulated losses that reduce the Companys stated capital by more than one-third. See also Item 10. Additional InformationMeetings of Shareholders.

The board of directors may also appoint a general manager (direttore generale), who reports directly to the board of directors and
confer powers for single acts or categories of acts to employees of the Company or persons unaffiliated with the Company.

Meetings of the
board of directors are called no less than five days in advance by letter sent via fax, telegram or e-mail by the chairman on his own initiative. Meetings may be held in person, or by video-conference or tele-conference, in the location indicated in
the notice convening the meeting, or in any other destination, each time that the chairman may consider necessary. The quorum for meetings of the board of directors is a majority of the directors in office. Resolutions are adopted by the vote of a
majority of the directors present at the meeting. In case of a tie, the chairman has the deciding vote.

Directors having any interest in
a proposed transaction must disclose their interest to the board and to the statutory auditors, even if such interest is not in conflict with the interest of the Company in the same transaction. The interested director is not required to abstain
from voting on the resolution approving the transaction, but the resolution must state explicitly the reasons for, and the benefit to the Company of, the approved transaction. In the event that these provisions are not complied with, or that the
transaction would not have been approved without the vote of the interested director, the resolution may be challenged by a director or by the board of statutory auditors if the approved transaction may be prejudicial to the Company. A managing
director must solicit prior board approval of any proposed transaction in which he has any interest and that is within the scope of his powers. The interested director may be held liable for damages to the Company resulting from a resolution adopted
in breach of the above rules. Finally, directors may be held liable for damages to the Company if they illicitly profit from insider information or corporate opportunities.

The board of directors may transfer the Companys registered office within Italy, set up and eliminate secondary offices and approve
mergers by absorption into the Company of any subsidiary in which the Company holds at least 90% of the issued share capital. The board of directors may also approve the issuance of shares or convertible debentures and reductions of the
Companys share capital in case of withdrawal of a shareholder if so authorized by the Companys extraordinary shareholders meeting.

Under Italian law and pursuant to the Companys By-laws, directors may be removed from office at any time by the vote of shareholders at
an ordinary shareholders meeting. However, if removed in circumstances where there was no just cause, such directors may have a claim for damages against the Company. Directors may resign at any time by written notice to the board of directors
and to the chairman of the board of statutory auditors. The board of directors must appoint substitute directors to fill vacancies arising from removals or resignations, subject to the approval of the board of statutory auditors, to serve until the
next ordinary shareholders meeting. If at any time more than half of the members of the board of directors appointed by the Assembly of Shareholders resign, such resignation is ineffective until the majority of the new board of directors has
been appointed. In such a case, the remaining members of the board of directors (or the board of statutory auditors if all the members of the board of directors have resigned or ceased to be directors) must promptly call an ordinary
shareholders meeting to appoint the new directors.

##### Table of Contents

The compensation of executive directors, including the CEO, is determined by the board of
directors, after consultation with the board of statutory auditors, within a maximum amount established by the Companys shareholders, while the Companys shareholders determine the base compensation for all board members, including
non-executive directors. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with their functions.

Statutory Auditors  In addition to electing the board of directors, the Assembly of Shareholders, at ordinary shareholders
meetings of the Company, elects a board of statutory auditors (collegio sindacale), appoint its chairman and set the compensation of its members. The statutory auditors are elected for a term of three fiscal years, may be re-elected for
successive terms and may be removed only for cause and with the approval of a competent court. Expiration of their office will have no effect until a new board is appointed. Membership of the board of statutory auditors is subject to certain good
standing, independence and professional requirements, and shareholders must be informed as to the offices the proposed candidates hold in other companies prior to or at the time of their election. In particular, at least one standing and one
alternate member must be a certified auditor.

The Companys By-laws provide that the board of statutory auditors shall consist of
three statutory auditors and two alternate statutory auditors (who are automatically substituted for a statutory auditor who resigns or is otherwise unable to serve).

The Companys board of statutory auditors is required, among other things, to verify that the Company (i) complies with applicable
laws and its By-laws, (ii) respects principles of good governance, and (iii) maintains adequate organizational structure and administrative and accounting systems. The Companys board of statutory auditors is required to meet at least
once every ninety days. The board of statutory auditors reports to the annual shareholders meeting on the results of its activity and the results of the Companys operations. In addition, the statutory auditors of the Company must be
present at meetings of the Companys board of directors and shareholders meetings.

The statutory auditors may decide to call a
meeting of the shareholders, ask the directors information about the management of the Company, carry out inspections and verifications at the Company and exchange information with the Companys external auditors. Additionally, the statutory
auditors have the power to initiate a liability action against one or more directors after adopting a resolution with an affirmative vote by two thirds of the auditors in office. Any shareholder may submit a complaint to the board of statutory
auditors regarding facts that such shareholder believes should be subject to scrutiny by the board of statutory auditors, which must take any complaint into account in its report to the shareholders meeting. If shareholders collectively
representing 5% of the Companys share capital submit such a complaint, the board of statutory auditors must promptly undertake an investigation and present its findings and any recommendations to a shareholders meeting (which must be
convened immediately if the complaint appears to have a reasonable basis and there is an urgent need to take action). The board of statutory auditors may report to a competent court serious breaches of directors duties.

External Auditor  The audit of the Companys accounts is entrusted, as per current legislation, to an independent audit firm
whose appointment falls under the competency of the Shareholders Meeting, upon the board of statutory auditors proposal. In addition to the obligations set forth in national auditing regulations, Natuzzis listing on the NYSE
requires that the audit firm issues a report on the annual report on Form 20-F, in compliance with the auditing principles generally accepted in the United States. Moreover, the audit firm is required to issue an opinion on the efficacy of the
internal control system applied to financial reporting.

The external auditor or the firm of external auditors is appointed for a
three-year term, may be re-elected for successive terms, and its compensation is determined by a vote at an ordinary shareholders meeting and may be removed only for just cause by a vote of the shareholders meeting.

Meetings of Shareholders  Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at ordinary and extraordinary shareholders meetings.
Votes may be cast personally or by proxy. Shareholder meetings may be called by the Companys board of directors (or the

##### Table of Contents

board of statutory auditors) and must be called if requested by holders of at least 10% of the issued shares. If a shareholders meeting is not called despite the request by shareholders and
such refusal is unjustified, a competent court may call the meeting. Shareholders are not entitled to request that a meeting of shareholders be convened to vote on matters which, as a matter of law, shall be resolved on the basis of a proposal, plan
or report by the Companys board of directors.

The Company may hold general meetings of shareholders at its registered office in
Santeramo in Colle, or elsewhere within Italy or at locations outside Italy, following publication of notice of the meeting in any of the following Italian newspapers: Il Sole 24 Ore, Corriere della Sera or
La Repubblica at least 15 days before the date fixed for the meeting.

The Assembly of Shareholders must be
convened at least once a year. The Companys annual stand-alone financial statements are prepared by the board of directors and submitted for approval to the ordinary shareholders meeting, which must be convened within 120 days after the
end of the fiscal year to which such financial statements relate. This term may be extended by up to 180 days after the end of the fiscal year, as long as the Company continues to be bound by law to draw up consolidated financial statements or if
particular circumstances concerning its structure or its purposes so require. At ordinary shareholders meetings, shareholders also appoint the external auditors, approve the distribution of dividends, appoint the board of directors and
statutory auditors, determine their remuneration and vote on any matter the resolution or authorization of which is entrusted to them by law.

Extraordinary shareholders meetings may be called to vote on proposed amendments to the By-laws, issuance of convertible debentures,
mergers and de-mergers, capital increases and reductions, when such resolutions may not be taken by the board of directors. Liquidation of the Company must be resolved by an extraordinary shareholders meeting.

The notice of a shareholders meeting may specify two or more meeting dates for an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders meeting;
such meeting dates are generally referred to as calls.

The quorum for an ordinary meeting of shareholders is 50% of the
Ordinary Shares, and resolutions are carried by the majority of Ordinary Shares present or represented. At an adjourned ordinary meeting, no quorum is required, and the resolutions are carried by the majority of Ordinary Shares present or
represented. Certain matters, such as amendments to the By-laws, the issuance of shares, the issuance of convertible debentures and mergers and de-mergers may only be effected at an extraordinary meeting, at which special voting rules apply.
Resolutions at an extraordinary meeting of the Company are carried, on first call, by a majority of the Ordinary Shares. An adjourned extraordinary meeting is validly held with a quorum of one-third of the issued shares and its resolutions are
carried by a majority of at least two-thirds of the holders of shares present or represented at such meeting. In addition, certain matters (such as a change in purpose or corporate form of the company, demergers, mergers, the transfer of its
registered office outside Italy, its liquidation prior to the term set forth in its By-laws, the extension of the term, the revocation of liquidation and the issuance of preferred shares) are approved by the holders of more than two-thirds of the
shares present and represented at such meeting that must also represent more than one-third of the issued shares.

According to the
By-laws, in order to attend any shareholders meeting, shareholders, at least five days prior to the date fixed for the meeting, must deposit their share certificates at the offices of the Company or with such banks as may be specified in the
notice of meeting, in exchange for an admission ticket. Owners of ADRs may make special arrangements with the Depositary for the beneficial owners of such ADRs to attend shareholders meetings, but not to vote at or formally address such
meetings. The procedures for making such arrangements will be specified in the notice of such meeting to be mailed by the Depositary to the owners of ADRs.

Shareholders may appoint proxies by delivering in writing an appropriate power of attorney to the Company. Directors, auditors and employees
of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries may not be proxies and any one proxy cannot represent more than 20 shareholders.

Pre-emptive Rights  Pursuant to Italian law, holders of Ordinary Shares or of debentures convertible into shares, if any exist,
are entitled to subscribe for the issuance of shares, debentures convertible into shares and rights to subscribe for shares, in proportion to their holdings, unless such issues are for non-cash consideration or pre-emptive rights are waived or
limited and such waiver or limitation is required in the interest of the Company. There can be no assurance that the holders of ADSs may be able to exercise fully any pre-emptive rights pertaining to Ordinary Shares.

Preference Shares. Other Securities  The Companys By-laws allow the Company to
issue preference shares with limited voting rights, to issue other classes of equity securities with different economic and voting rights, to issue so-called participation certificates with limited voting rights, as well as so-called tracking stock.
The power to issue such financial instruments is attributed to the extraordinary meeting of shareholders.

The Company, by resolution of
the board of directors, may issue debt securities non-convertible into shares, while it may issue debt securities convertible into shares through a resolution of an extraordinary shareholders meeting.

Segregation of Assets and Proceeds  The Company, by means of an extraordinary shareholders meeting resolution, may approve
the segregation of certain assets into one or more separate pools. Such pools of assets may have an aggregate value not exceeding 10% of the shareholders equity of the company. Each pool of assets must be used exclusively for the carrying out
of a specific business and may not be attached by the general creditors of the Company. Similarly, creditors with respect to such specific business may only attach those assets of the Company that are included in the corresponding pool. Tort
creditors, on the other hand, may always attach any assets of the Company. The Company may issue securities carrying economic and administrative rights relating to a pool. In addition, financing agreements relating to the funding of a specific
business may provide that the proceeds of such business be used exclusively to repay the financing. Such proceeds may be attached only by the financing party and such financing party would have no recourse against other assets of the Company.

Liquidation Rights  Pursuant to Italian law and subject to the satisfaction of the claims of all other creditors, shareholders
are entitled to a distribution in liquidation that is equal to the nominal value of their shares (to the extent available out of the net assets of the Company). Holders of preferred shares, if any such shares are issued in the future by the Company,
may be entitled to a priority right to any such distribution from liquidation up to their par value. Thereafter, all shareholders would rank equally in their claims to the distribution or surplus assets, if any. Ordinary Shares rank pari
passu among themselves in liquidation.

Purchase of Shares by the Company  The Company is permitted to purchase shares,
subject to certain conditions and limitations provided for by Italian law. Shares may only be purchased out of profits available for dividends or out of distributable reserves, in each case as appearing on the latest shareholder-approved stand-alone
financial statements. Further, the Company may only repurchase fully paid-in shares. Such purchases must be authorized by the Assembly of Shareholders at an ordinary shareholders meeting. The aggregate purchase price of such shares may not
exceed the earnings reserve specifically approved by shareholders. Shares held in violation of the above conditions and limitations must be sold within one year of the date of purchase. Similar limitations apply with respect to purchases of the
Companys shares by its subsidiaries.

A corresponding reserve equal to the purchase price of such shares must be created in the
balance sheet, and such reserve is not available for distribution, unless such shares are sold or cancelled. Shares purchased and held by the Company may be resold only pursuant to a resolution adopted at an ordinary shareholders meeting. The
voting rights attaching to the shares held by the Company or its subsidiaries cannot be exercised, but the shares are counted for quorum purposes in shareholders meetings. Dividends and pre-emptive rights attaching to such shares will accrue
to the benefit of other shareholders.

In May 2009, the ordinary shareholders meeting of the Company approved a share buyback
program as proposed by the board of directors. As of the date hereof, the share buyback program has not been implemented and, in accordance with its terms, the Company is no longer able to purchase its shares as part of the aforementioned share
buyback program.

The Company does not own any of its ordinary shares.

Notification of the Acquisition of Shares  In accordance with Italian antitrust laws, the Italian Antitrust Authority is required
to prohibit the acquisition of control in a company which would thereby create or strengthen a dominant position in the domestic market or a significant part thereof and which would result in the elimination or substantial reduction, on a lasting
basis, of

competition, provided that certain turnover thresholds are exceeded. However, if the turnover of the acquiring party and the company to be acquired exceed certain other monetary thresholds, the
antitrust review of the acquisition falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the European Commission.

Minority Shareholders
Rights. Withdrawal Rights  Shareholders resolutions which are not adopted in conformity with applicable law or the Companys By-laws may be challenged (with certain limitations and exceptions) within ninety days by absent,
dissenting or abstaining shareholders representing individually or in the aggregate at least 5% of Companys share capital (as well as by the board of directors or the board of statutory auditors). Shareholders not reaching this threshold or
shareholders not entitled to vote at Companys meetings may only claim damages deriving from the resolution.

Dissenting or absent
shareholders may require the Company to buy back their shares as a result of shareholders resolutions approving, among others things, material modifications of the Companys corporate purpose or of the voting rights of its shares, the
transformation of the Company from a stock corporation into a different legal entity, or the transfer of the Companys registered office outside Italy. The buy-back would occur at a price established by the board of directors, upon consultation
with the board of statutory auditors and the Companys external auditor, having regard to the net assets value of the Company, its prospective earnings and the market value of its shares, if any. The Companys By-laws may set forth
different criteria to determine the consideration to be paid to dissenting shareholders in such buy-backs.

Each shareholder may bring to
the attention of the board of statutory auditors facts or actions which are deemed wrongful. If such shareholders represent more than 5% of the share capital of the Company, the board of statutory auditors must investigate without delay and report
its findings and recommendations to the shareholders meeting.

Shareholders representing more than 10% of the Companys share
capital have the right to report to a competent court serious breaches of the duties of the directors, which may be prejudicial to the Company or to its subsidiaries. In addition, shareholders representing at least 20% of the Companys share
capital may commence derivative suits before a competent court against its directors, statutory auditors and general managers.

The
Company may waive or settle the suit unless shareholders holding at least 20% of the shares vote against such waiver or settlement. The Company will reimburse the legal costs of such action in the event that the claim of such shareholders is
successful and the court does not award such costs against the relevant directors, statutory auditors or general managers.

Any dispute
arising out of or in connection with the By-Laws that may arise between the Company and its shareholders, directors, or liquidators shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal of Bari (Italy).

Liability for Mismanagement of Subsidiaries  Under Italian law, companies and other legal entities that, acting in their own
interest or the interest of third parties, mismanage a company subject to their direction and coordination powers are liable to such companys shareholders and creditors for ensuing damages suffered by such shareholders. This liability is
excluded if (i) the ensuing damage is fully eliminated, including through subsequent transactions, or (ii) the damage is effectively offset by the global benefits deriving in general to the company from the continuing exercise of such
direction and coordination powers. Direction and coordination powers are presumed to exist, among other things, with respect to consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is subject to the direction and coordination of INVEST 2003 S.r.l.

Material Contracts

In the two years immediately preceding the filing of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, neither the Company nor any member of the group has been
a party to a material contract, other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business and the contracts described immediately below:

be rolled out in the Jesce1 and La Martella industrial complexes of Matera, Jesce2 in Santeramo in Colle (Bari) and in Laterza (Taranto). The long-term project is worth a total of 49 million, with the
provision of funding of up to a maximum 37 million by the State and Regions on conclusion of the preliminary phase.

Exchange Controls

There are currently no exchange controls, as such, in Italy restricting rights deriving from the ownership of shares. Residents and
non-residents of Italy may hold foreign currency and foreign securities of any kind, within and outside Italy. Non-residents may invest in Italian securities without restriction and may transfer to and from Italy cash, instruments of credit and
securities, in both foreign currency and Euro, representing interest, dividends, other asset distributions and the proceeds of any dispositions.

Certain procedural requirements, however, are imposed by law. Regulations on the use of cash and bearer securities are contained in the
legislative decree No.231 of November 21, 2007, as amended from time to time, which implemented in Italy the European directives on anti-money laundering No. 2005/60 and 2006/70. Such legislation requires that transfers of cash or bearer
bank or postal passbooks or bearer instruments in Euro or in foreign currency, effected for whatsoever reason between different parties, shall be carried out by means of credit institutions and any other authorized intermediaries when the total
amount of the value to be transferred is equal to or more than 1,000. Credit institutions and other intermediaries effecting such transactions on behalf of residents or non-residents of Italy are required to maintain records of such
transactions for ten years, which may be inspected at any time by Italian tax and judicial authorities. Non-compliance with the reporting and record-keeping requirements may result in administrative fines or, in the case of false reporting and in
certain cases of incomplete reporting, criminal penalties. The Bank of Italy is required to maintain reports for ten years and may use them, directly or through other government offices, to police money laundering, tax evasion and any other unlawful
activity.

Individuals, non-profit entities and partnerships that are residents of Italy must disclose on their annual tax returns all
investments and financial assets held outside Italy. Such obligation lies also on the aforesaid resident taxpayers who, even if do not own directly investments and financial assets held abroad, qualify as beneficial owner of the same. No
such tax disclosure is required in respect of securities deposited for management with qualified Italian financial intermediaries and in respect of contracts entered into through their intervention, provided that the items of income derived from
such foreign financial assets are collected through the intervention of the same intermediaries. Corporate residents of Italy are exempt from these tax disclosure requirements with respect to their annual tax returns because this information is
required to be disclosed in their financial statements.

There can be no assurance that the current regulatory environment in or outside
Italy will persist or that particular policies presently in effect will be maintained, although Italy is required to maintain certain regulations and policies by virtue of its membership of the EU and other international organizations and its
adherence to various bilateral and multilateral international agreements.

Taxation

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal and Italian tax matters. The summary contains a description of the principal U.S. federal
and Italian tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs by a holder who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S. corporation or who otherwise will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a
net income basis in respect of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs. The summary is not a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase or hold Ordinary Shares or ADSs. In particular, the summary
deals only with beneficial owners who will hold Ordinary Shares or ADSs as capital assets and does not address the tax treatment of a beneficial owner who owns 10% or more of the voting shares of the Company or who may be subject to special tax
rules, such as banks, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, partners or partnerships therein, or dealers in securities or currencies, or persons that will hold Ordinary Shares or ADSs as a position in a straddle for tax purposes or
as part of a constructive sale or a conversion transaction or other integrated investment comprised of Ordinary Shares or ADSs and one or more other investments. The summary does not discuss the treatment of Ordinary Shares
or ADSs that are held in connection with a permanent establishment through which a non-resident beneficial owner carries on business or performs personal services in Italy.

The summary is based upon tax laws and practice of the United States and Italy in effect on the date of this Annual Report, which are subject
to change.

Investors and prospective investors in Ordinary Shares or ADSs should consult their own advisors as to the U.S., Italian or
other tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, including, in particular, the effect of any state or local tax laws.

For purposes of the summary, beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares or ADSs who are considered residents of the United States for purposes of
the current income tax convention between the United States and Italy (the Income Tax Convention), and are not subject to an anti-treaty shopping provision that applies in limited circumstances, are referred to as U.S.
owners. Beneficial owners who are citizens or residents of the United States, corporations organized under U.S. law, and U.S. partnerships, estates or trusts (to the extent their income is subject to U.S. tax either directly or in the hands of
partners or beneficiaries) generally will be considered to be residents of the United States under the Income Tax Convention. Special rules apply to U.S. owners who are also residents of Italy, according to the Income Tax Convention.

For the purpose of the Income Tax Convention and the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beneficial owners of ADRs
evidencing ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the Ordinary Shares represented by those ADSs.

Taxation of Dividends

i) Italian Tax Considerations  As a general rule, Italian laws provide for the withholding of income tax on dividends paid by
Italian companies to shareholders who are not residents of Italy for tax purposes, currently levied at a 26% rate. Italian laws provide a mechanism under which non-resident shareholders can claim a refund, up to 11/26 of Italian withholding taxes on
dividend income by establishing to the Italian tax authorities that the dividend income was subject to income tax in another jurisdiction in an amount at least equal to the total refund claimed. U.S. owners should consult their own tax advisers
concerning the possible availability of this refund, which traditionally has been payable only after extensive delays. Alternatively, reduced rates (normally 15%) may apply to non-resident shareholders who are entitled to, and comply with procedures
for claiming, benefits under an income tax convention.

Under the Income Tax Convention, dividends derived and beneficially owned by U.S.
owners are subject to an Italian withholding tax at a reduced rate of 15%.

However, the amount initially made available to the Depositary
for payment to U.S. owners will reflect withholding at the 26% rate. U.S. owners who comply with the certification procedures described below may then claim an additional payment of 11% of the dividend (representing the difference between the 26%
rate, and the 15% rate, and referred to herein as a treaty refund). This certification procedure will require U.S. owners (i) to obtain from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a form of certification required by the
Italian tax authorities (IRS Form 6166), unless a previously filed certification is effective on the dividend payment



77

##### Table of Contents

date (such certificates, filed together with the statement indicated under (ii) below, should be effective until the end of the fiscal year for which the statement was originally filed),
(ii) to produce a statement in accordance with the Italian tax authorities decree of July 10, 2013, whereby the U.S. owner represents to be a U.S. owner individual or corporation with no permanent establishment in Italy, and (iii) to
set forth other required information. IRS Form 6166 may be obtained by filing a request for certification on IRS Form 8802. (Additional information, including IRS Form 8802, can be obtained from the IRS website at www.irs.gov. Information appearing
on the IRS website is not incorporated by reference into this document.) The time for processing requests for certification by the IRS normally is 30 to 45 days. Accordingly, in order to be eligible for the procedure described below, U.S. owners
should begin the process of obtaining certificates as soon as possible after receiving instructions from the Depositary on how to claim a treaty refund.

The Depositarys instructions will specify certain deadlines for delivering to the Depositary the documentation required to obtain a
treaty refund, including the certification that the U.S. owners must obtain from the IRS. In the case of ADSs held by U.S. owners through a broker or other financial intermediary, the required documentation should be delivered to such financial
intermediary for transmission to the Depositary. In all other cases, the U.S. owners should deliver the required documentation directly to the Depositary. The Company and the Depositary have agreed that if the required documentation is received by
the Depositary on or within 30 days after the dividend payment date and, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, such documentation satisfies the requirements for a refund by the Company of Italian withholding tax under the Convention and
applicable law, the Company will within 45 days thereafter pay the treaty refund to the Depositary for the benefit of the U.S. owners entitled thereto.

If the Depositary does not receive a U.S. owners required documentation within 30 days after the dividend payment date, such U.S. owner
may for a short grace period (specified in the Depositarys instructions) continue to claim a treaty refund by delivering the required documentation (either through the U.S. owners financial intermediary or directly, as the case may be)
to the Depositary. However, after this grace period, the treaty refund must be claimed directly from the Italian tax authorities rather than through the Depositary. Expenses and extensive delays have been encountered by U.S. owners seeking refunds
from the Italian tax authorities.

Distributions of profits in kind will be subject to withholding tax. In that case, prior to receiving
the distribution, the holder will be required to provide the Company with the funds to pay the relevant withholding tax.

ii)United
States Tax Considerations  The gross amount of any dividends (that is, the amount before reduction for Italian withholding tax) paid to a U.S. owner generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as foreign-source dividend
income and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to domestic corporations. Dividends paid in Euro will be included in the income of such U.S. owners in a dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in
effect on the day the dividends are received by the Depositary or its agent. If the Euro are converted into dollars on the day the Depositary or its agent receives them, U.S. owners generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain
or loss in respect of the dividend income. U.S. owners who receive a treaty refund may be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss to the extent the amount of the treaty refund (in dollars) received by the U.S. owner differs from the U.S.
dollar equivalent of the Euro amount of the treaty refund on the date the dividends were received by the Depositary or its agent. Italian withholding tax at the 15% rate will be treated as a foreign income tax which U.S. owners may elect to deduct
in computing their taxable income or, subject to the limitations on foreign tax credits generally, credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and U.S. owners are urged to consult
their own tax advisers in this regard. Dividends will generally constitute foreign-source passive category income for U.S. tax purposes.

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by an individual with respect
to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs will be subject to taxation at reduced rates if the dividends are qualified dividends. Dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares or ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if (i) the Company is
eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the IRS has approved for the purposes of the qualified dividend rules and (ii) the Company was not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend
was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (PFIC). The Income Tax Convention has been approved for the purposes of the qualified dividend rules, and the Company believes it is
eligible for the benefits of the Income Tax Convention. Based on the Companys audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, the Company believes that it was not treated



78

##### Table of Contents

as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to its 2014 or 2015 taxable year. In addition, based on the Companys audited financial statements and its current expectations
regarding the value and nature of its assets, the sources and nature of its income, and relevant market and shareholder data, the Company does not anticipate becoming a PFIC for its 2016 taxable year.

The U.S. Treasury has announced its intention to promulgate rules pursuant to which holders of ADSs or common stock and intermediaries through
whom such securities are held will be permitted to rely on certifications from issuers to treat dividends as qualified for tax reporting purposes. Because such procedures have not yet been issued, it is not clear whether the Company will be able to
comply with the procedures. Holders of Ordinary Shares and ADSs should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in the light of the considerations discussed above and their own particular
circumstances.

Foreign tax credits may not be allowed for withholding taxes imposed in respect of certain short-term or hedged positions
in securities or in respect of arrangements in which a U.S. owners expected economic profit is insubstantial. U.S. owners should consult their own advisers concerning the implications of these rules in light of their particular circumstances.

A beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares or ADSs who is, with respect to the United States, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien
individual, generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends received on Ordinary Shares or ADSs, unless such income is effectively connected with the conduct by the beneficial owner of a trade or business in the United States.

Taxation of Capital Gains

i) Italian Tax Considerations  Under Italian law, capital gains tax (CGT) is generally levied on capital gains
realized by non-residents from the disposal of shares in companies resident in Italy for tax purposes even if those shares are held outside of Italy. However, capital gains realized by non-resident holders on the sale of non-qualified shareholdings
(as defined below) in companies listed on a stock exchange and resident in Italy for tax purposes (as is the Companys case) are not subject to CGT. In order to benefit from this exemption, such non-Italian-resident holders may need to file a
certificate evidencing their residence outside of Italy for tax purposes.

A qualified shareholding consists of securities
that entitle the holder to exercise more than 2% of the voting rights of a company with shares listed on a stock exchange in the ordinary meeting of the shareholders or represent more than 5% of the share capital of a company with shares listed on a
stock exchange. A non-qualified shareholding is any shareholding that does not exceed either of these thresholds. The relevant percentage is calculated taking into account the shareholdings sold during the prior 12-month period.

Capital gains realized upon disposal of a qualified shareholding are partially included in the shareholders taxable income,
for an amount equal to 49.72% with respect to capital gains realized as of January 1, 2009. If a taxpayer realizes taxable capital gains in excess of 49.72% of capital losses of a similar nature incurred in the same tax year, such excess amount
is included in his total taxable income. If 49.72% of such taxpayers capital losses exceeds its taxable capital gains, then the excess amount can be carried forward and deducted from the taxable amount of similar capital gains realized by such
person in the following tax years, up to the fourth, provided that it is reported in the tax report in the year of disposal. Based on the newly enacted Stability Law for 2016, the ordinary Corporate Income Tax rate shall decrease from 27.5% to 24%
as of Fiscal Year 2017; as a consequence thereof, said 49.72% ratio is expected to be modified accordingly.

The above is subject to any
provisions of an income tax treaty entered into by the Republic of Italy, if the income tax treaty provisions are more favorable. The majority of double tax treaties entered into by Italy, including the Income Tax Convention, in accordance with the
OECD Model tax convention, provide that capital gains realized from the disposition of Italian securities are subject to CGT only in the country of residence of the seller.

The Income Tax Convention between Italy and the U.S. provides that a U.S. owner is not subject to the Italian CGT on the disposal of shares,
provided that the shares are not held through part of a permanent establishment of the U.S. owner in Italy.



79

##### Table of Contents

ii) United States Tax Considerations  Gain or loss realized by a U.S. owner on the
sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. owners basis in the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs and the amount
realized on the disposition (or its dollar equivalent, determined at the spot rate on the date of disposition, if the amount realized is denominated in a foreign currency). Any such gain or loss generally would be treated as arising from sources
within the United States. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. owner holds the Ordinary Shares or ADSs for more than one year. The net amount of long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. owner that is an
individual holder generally is subject to taxation at a reduced rate. The ability to offset capital losses against ordinary income is subject to limitations. Deposits and withdrawals of Ordinary Shares by U.S. owners in exchange for ADSs will not
result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares or ADSs who is,
with respect to the United States, a foreign corporation or a nonresident alien individual will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, unless (i) such gain is effectively connected
with the conduct by the beneficial owner of a trade or business in the United States or (ii), in the case of gain realized by an individual beneficial owner, the beneficial owner is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable
year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.

Taxation of Distributions from Capital Reserves

Italian Tax Considerations  Special rules apply to the distribution of certain capital reserves. Under certain circumstances, such
a distribution may be considered as taxable income in the hands of the recipient depending on the existence of current profits or outstanding reserves at the time of distribution and the actual nature of the reserves distributed. The application of
such rules may also have an impact on the tax basis in the Ordinary Shares or ADSs held and/or the characterization of any taxable income received and the tax regime applicable to it. Non-resident shareholders may be subject to withholding tax and
CGT as a result of such rules. You should consult your tax adviser in connection with any distribution of capital reserves.

Other
Italian Taxes

Estate and Inheritance Tax  A transfer of Ordinary Shares or ADSs by reason of death or gift is subject to
an inheritance and gift tax levied on the value of the inheritance or gift, as follows:

Transfers to a spouse or direct
descendants or ancestors up to 1,000,000 to each beneficiary are exempt from inheritance and gift tax. Transfers in excess of such threshold will be taxed at a 4% rate on the value of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs exceeding such threshold;

Transfers between relatives within the fourth degree other than siblings, and direct or indirect relatives-in-law within the
third degree are taxed at a rate of 6% on the value of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs (where transfers between siblings up to a maximum value of 100,000 for each beneficiary are exempt from inheritance and gift tax); and

Transfers by reason of gift or death of Ordinary Shares or ADSs to persons other than those described above will be taxed at a
rate of 8% on the value of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs.

If the beneficiary of any such transfer is a disabled individual, whose handicap
is recognized pursuant to Law No. 104 of February 5, 1992, the tax is applied only on the value of the assets received in excess of 1,500,000 at the rates illustrated above, depending on the type of relationship existing between the
deceased or donor and the beneficiary.

The tax regime described above will not prevent the application, if more favorable to the
taxpayer, of any different provisions of a bilateral tax treaty, including the convention between Italy and the United States against double taxation with respect to taxes on estates and inheritances, pursuant to which non-Italian resident
shareholders are generally entitled to a tax credit for any estate and inheritance taxes possibly applied in Italy.

Italian Financial
Transaction Tax In December 2012, Italy introduced a financial transaction tax (the IFTT), which, beginning March 1, 2013, is applicable, among other transactions, to all trades entailing the transfer of title of
(i) shares or equity-like financial instruments issued by companies resident in Italy, such as the Ordinary Shares; and (ii) securities representing the shares and financial instruments under (i) above (including depositary receipts
such as the ADSs), regardless of the residence of the issuer. The IFTT may also apply to the transfer of Ordinary Shares and ADSs by a U.S. resident.



80



---

##### Table of Contents

The IFTT will apply at a rate of 0.2% for over-the-counter transactions, reduced to 0.1% for
trades executed on a regulated market or multilateral trading facility. The New York Stock Exchange should qualify as a regulated market for such purposes.

The rules governing the IFTT are fairly complex and still subject to further clarification to be issued by the Italian tax authorities. As to
its basic features, it should be noted that the IFTT (i) is levied on a tax base equal to (x) the market value (calculated by taking the net balance of daily trades on the relevant securities) or, in the absence of any such market value,
(y) the consideration paid for each trade; and (ii) is borne by the purchaser but is collected by the financial intermediaries (including non-resident financial intermediaries) intervening in the relevant trades.

However, a number of exemptions apply, including with respect to trades of securities issued by companies having an average market
capitalization lower than 500 million in the month of November of the year preceding the year in which the trade takes place. Companies, the securities of which are listed on a foreign regulated market, and which could benefit from this
exemption, such as the Company, need a confirmation from the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance: such companies must communicate their market capitalization for each tax year to the Ministry , which will then prepare a list of the companies in
relation to which the exemption applies.

EU Financial Transaction Tax  On February 14, 2013, the European Commission
proposed the implementation of the EU FTT (see Item 3. Key InformationRisk Factors) that may also apply to the transfer of Ordinary Shares and ADSs by a U.S. resident. This directive has been modified by the European Commission.
However, the related EU directive has not yet been enacted. Moreover, the implementation of the proposed EU FTT may also affect the IFTT, as described above.

United States Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Requirements  In general, information reporting requirements will
apply to payments by a paying agent within the United States to a non-corporate (or other non-exempt) U.S. owner of dividends in respect of the Company Shares or ADSs, or the proceeds received on the sale or other disposition of the Company Shares
or ADSs. Backup withholding may apply to such amounts if the U.S. owner fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number to the paying agent on a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the
backup withholding rules. Amounts withheld as backup withholding will be creditable against the U.S. owners U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion of the Groups
risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. See Forward Looking
Information. A significant portion of the Groups net sales and its costs, are denominated in currencies other than the euro, in particular the U.S. dollar.

##### Table of Contents

The Group is exposed to market risks principally from fluctuations in the exchange rates between
the Euro and other currencies, including in particular the U.S. dollar, and to a significantly lesser extent, from variations in interest rates.

Exchange Rate Risks  The Groups foreign exchange rate risks in 2015 arose principally in connection with U.S. dollars,
British pounds, Canadian dollars, Euro (for the Companys subsidiary located in Eastern Europe), Australian dollars, Japanese yen, Danish kroner, Swedish kroner, Norwegian kroner and Swiss francs as well as in connection with Chinese yuan,
Romanian Leu, Brazilian Reais, Russian Rubles, Indian Rupee, for the Companys subsidiaries operating in currencies different from the Euro.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group had outstanding trade receivables denominated in foreign currencies totalling
40.7 million and 61.0 million, respectively, of which 54.3% and 62.6%, respectively, were denominated in U.S. dollars. On those same dates, the Group had 16.3 million and 25.3 million, respectively,
of trade payables denominated in foreign currencies, principally U.S. dollars. See Notes 6 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report

As of December 31, 2015, the Company was a party to a number of currency forward contracts (known in Italy as domestic currency swaps),
all of which are designed to hedge future sales denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies. As of the same date, no option contract was outstanding (as was the case as of December 31, 2014). The Group does not use such foreign exchange
contracts for speculative trading purposes.

As of December 31, 2015, the notional amount in Euro terms of all of the outstanding
currency forward contracts totaled 53.9 million. As of December 31, 2014, the notional amounts of all of the outstanding currency forward contracts totaled 44.7 million.

At the end of 2015, such currency forward contracts had notional amounts of British pounds 11.0 million, U.S.$ 17.2 million,
10.0 million, Canadian dollars 16.0 million, Australian dollars 4.0 million, Japanese yen 270.0 million, Danish kroner 4.7 million, and Swedish kroner 3.7 million. All of these forward contracts had various maturities
extending through June 2016. See Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report. The table below summarizes (in thousands of Euro equivalent) the contractual amounts of currency forward contracts (no
options were outstanding) intended to hedge future cash flows from accounts receivable and sales orders as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

As of December 31, 2015, these forward contracts had a net unrealized loss of
0.1 million, compared to a net unrealized loss of 0.3 million as of December 31, 2014. The Group recorded this amount in other income (expense), net in its Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 29 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

The following table presents information regarding the
contract amount in thousands of Euro equivalent and the estimated fair value of all of the Groups foreign exchange contracts: contracts with unrealized gains are presented as assets and contracts with unrealized losses are

The Groups foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2015 had maturities of a maximum
of six months. The potential loss in fair value of all of the Groups forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2015 that would have resulted from a hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable 10% change in currency exchange rates
would have been approximately 6.6 million. This sensitivity analysis assumes an instantaneous and unfavorable 10% fluctuation in exchange rates affecting the foreign currencies of all of the Groups hedging contracts outstanding as of the
end of 2015.

For the accounting of transactions entered into in an effort to reduce the Groups exchange rate risks, see Notes 3 and
29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

At December 31, 2015, the Group had
approximately 29 million in cash and cash equivalents held in Chinese yuan (19 million as at December 31, 2014). Exchange rate fluctuations in respect of this amount could have significant positive or negative effects on our
results of operations in future periods.

Interest Rate Risk  To a significantly lesser extent, the Group is also exposed to
interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2015, the Group had 38 million (equivalent to 11.2% of the Groups total assets as of the same date) in debt outstanding (bank overdrafts and long-term debt, including the current
portion of such debt), which is for the most part subject to floating interest rates. See Notes 15 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

In the normal course of business, the Group also faces risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include
country risk, credit risk and legal risk.

ITEM15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures  The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of
the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015. There are
inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure
controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on the Companys evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Managements Annual Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Even when determined to be effective, they can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and presentation of financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

To assess the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, the Companys management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, used the criteria described in 2013 Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.
Based on such assessment, the Companys management has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective and that there were no material weaknesses in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015
has been audited by Ernst & Young, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on the Companys internal control over financial reporting, which follows below.

(c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Natuzzi S.p.A.

We have audited Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and our report dated May 23, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM16. [RESERVED]

ITEM16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Company has determined that, because of the existence and nature of its board of statutory auditors, it qualifies for an exemption
provided by Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3) from many of the Rule 10A-3 audit committee requirements. The board of statutory auditors has determined that each of its members is an audit committee financial expert as defined in
Item 16A of Form 20-F. For the names of the members of the board of statutory auditors, see Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and EmployeesStatutory Auditors and Item 16G. Corporate GovernanceAudit Committee and
Internal Audit Function.

Each of the audit committee financial experts is independent under the NYSE Independence Standards that
would apply to audit committee members in the absence of our reliance on the exemption in Rule 10A-3(c)(3).

ITEM16B. CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 16B of Form 20-F under the Exchange Act. This code of ethics applies, among
others, to the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Companys code of ethics is downloadable from its website at http://www.natuzzi.com/en-EN/ir/code-of-ethics. If the Company amends the provisions of
its code of ethics that apply to the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or if the Company grants any waiver of such provisions, it will disclose such amendment or waiver on its website at the same address.

ITEM16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND
SERVICES

Ernst & Young has served as Natuzzi S.p.A.s principal independent public auditor for fiscal
year 2015, 2014 and 2013 for which it audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

The following table
sets forth the aggregate fees billed and billable to the Company by Ernst & Young in Italy and abroad during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, for audit fees, auditrelated fees, tax fees and all other fees for
audit.



|                   |  |                                   |     |  |      |  |     |

|Audit-related fees |  |                                   |    |  |      |  |    | 
|Tax fees           |  |                                   | 22  |  |      |  |    | 
|All Other fees     |  |                                   | 6   |  |      |  |    | 
|                   |  |                                   |     |  |      |  |     | 
|Total fees         |  |                                   | 828 |  |      |  | 600 | 

Audit fees in the above table are the aggregate fees billed and billable in connection with the audit of the
Companys annual financial statements. In particular, 2015 audit fees include the extra fees connected to the postponement of the filing of the current 20-F due to the considerable time and resources spent by the Company in order to complete
its assessment on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Tax and other fees consist of fees billed and billable in connection with
professional services rendered for tax compliance and in relation to XBRL related services, respectively.

The Companys board of
statutory auditors expressly pre-approves on a case-by-case basis any engagement of our independent auditors for audit and non-audit services provided to our subsidiaries or to us. All services rendered by our independent auditors for audit and
non-audit services were pre-approved by our board of statutory auditors in accordance with this policy.

The Companys reliance on Rule 10A-3(c)(3) does not, in its opinion, materially adversely affect the ability of its board of statutory
auditors to act independently and to satisfy the other requirements of Rule 10A-3.

ITEM16E.
PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, no purchases were made by or on behalf of the Company or any other affiliated purchaser of
the Companys Ordinary Shares or ADSs.

ITEM16F. CHANGE IN
REGISTRANTS CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

In April 2016 the Company
conducted a tender process for the Natuzzi Groups integrated audit contract. As a result of the audit tender process, on April 27, 2016, the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting for the adoption of 2015 financial statements,
appointed, as recommended by the Board of Statutory Auditors, KPMG S.p.a. as the Natuzzi Groups new independent auditor. Accordingly, the engagement of Ernst & Young was not renewed. KPMG will become the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and will serve a three-year term as the Companys auditor.

Ernst & Youngs report on the Companys financial statements for each of the past two years did not contain any adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were any of Ernst & Youngs reports qualified or modified with respect to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

In connection with the audit of the Companys financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and in the
subsequent interim period through May 23, 2016, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young, would have caused Ernst & Young to make reference to such disagreements in their reports.

The Company has provided a copy of this disclosure to Ernst & Young and requested
Ernst & Young to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Ernst & Youngs letter is filed as Exhibit 15.1 to this Form 20-F.

ITEM16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Under NYSE rules, we are permitted, as a listed foreign private issuer, to adhere to the corporate governance rules of our home country in lieu
of certain NYSE corporate governance rules.

Corporate governance rules for Italian stock corporations (società per azioni)
like the Company, whose shares are not listed on a regulated market in the European Union, are set forth in the Civil Code. As described in more detail below, the Italian corporate governance rules set forth in the Civil Code differ in a number of
ways from those applicable to U.S. domestic companies under NYSE listing standards, as set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

As a
general rule, our companys main corporate bodies are governed by the Civil Code and are assigned specific powers and duties that are legally binding and cannot be derogated from. The Company follows the traditional Italian corporate governance
system, with a board of directors (consiglio di amministrazione) and a separate board of statutory auditors (collegio sindacale) with supervisory functions. The two boards are separate and no individual may be a member of both boards.
Both the members of the board of directors and the members of the board of statutory auditors owe duties of loyalty and care to the Company. As required by Italian law, an external auditing firm (società di revisione) is in charge of
auditing the Companys financial statements. The members of the Companys board of directors and board of statutory auditors, as well as the external auditor, are directly and separately appointed by shareholder resolution at the general
shareholders meetings. This system differs from the unitary system envisaged for U.S. domestic companies by the NYSE listing standards, which contemplate the board of directors serving as the sole governing body.

Below is a summary of the significant differences between Italian corporate governance rules and practices, as the Company has implemented
them, and those applicable to U.S. issuers under NYSE listing standards, as set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Independent
Directors

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  The NYSE listing standards applicable to U.S. companies provide that
independent directors must comprise a majority of the board. In order for a director to be considered independent, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no material direct or
indirect relationship with the company. These relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationship (among others).

More specifically, a director is not independent if such director or his/her immediate family members has certain specified relationships with
the company, its parent, its consolidated subsidiaries, their internal or external auditors, or companies that have significant business relationships with the company, its parent or its consolidated subsidiaries. Ownership of a significant amount
of stock is not a per se bar to independence. In addition, a three-year cooling off period following the termination of any relationship that compromised a directors independence must lapse before that director can again be
considered independent.

Our Practice  The presence of a prescribed number of independent directors on the Companys
board is neither mandated by any Italian law applicable to the Company nor required by the Companys By-laws.

However, Italian law
sets forth certain independence requirements applicable to the Companys statutory auditors. Statutory auditors independence is assessed on the basis of the following rules: a person who (i) is a director, or the spouse or a close
relative of a director, of the Company or any of its affiliates, or (ii) has an employment or a regular consulting or similar relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, or (iii) has an economic relationship with the Company or
any of its affiliates which might

compromise his/her independence, cannot be appointed to the Companys board of statutory auditors. The law sets forth certain principles aimed at ensuring that any member of the board of
statutory auditors who is a chartered public accountant (iscritto nel registro dei revisori contabili) be substantively independent from the company subject to audit and not be in any way involved in the companys decision-making
process. The Civil Code mandates that at least one standing and one alternative member of the board of statutory auditors be a chartered public accountant. Each of the current members of the board of statutory auditors is a chartered public
accountant.

Executive Sessions

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  Non-executive directors of U.S. companies listed on the NYSE must meet regularly in executive
sessions, and independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year.

Our Practice  Under the
laws of Italy, neither non-executive directors nor independent directors are required to meet in executive sessions. The members of the Companys board of statutory auditors are required to meet at least every 90 days.

Audit Committee and Internal Audit Function

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  U.S. companies listed on the NYSE are required to establish an audit committee that satisfies the
requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and certain additional requirements set by the NYSE. In particular, all members of this committee must be independent and the committee must adopt a written charter. The committees prescribed
responsibilities include (i) the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the external auditors; (ii) establishing procedures for the handling of whistle blower complaints; (iii) discussion of financial
reporting and internal control issues and critical accounting policies (including through executive sessions with the external auditors); (iv) the approval of audit and non-audit services performed by the external auditors and (v) the
adoption of an annual performance evaluation. A company must also have an internal audit function, which may be outsourced, except to the independent auditor.

Our Practice Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act provides that foreign private issuers with a board of statutory auditors
established in accordance with local law or listing requirements and meeting specified requirements with regard to independence and responsibilities (including the performance of most of the specific tasks assigned to audit committees by Rule 10A-3,
to the extent permitted by local law) (the Statutory Auditor Requirements) are exempt from the audit committee requirements established by the rule. The Company is relying on this exemption on the basis of its separate board of statutory
auditors, which is permitted by the Civil Code and which satisfies the Statutory Auditor Requirements. Nevertheless our board of statutory auditors, consisting of independent and highly professional experts, complies with the requirements indicated
at points (i), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding paragraph. The Company also has an internal audit function, which has not been outsourced.

Compensation Committee

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  Under NYSE standards, the compensation of the CEO of U.S. domestic companies must be approved by
a compensation committee (or equivalent) comprised solely of independent directors. The compensation committee must also make recommendations to the board of directors with regard to the compensation of other officers, incentive compensation plans
and equity-based plans. Disclosure of individual management compensation information for these companies is mandated by the Exchange Acts proxy rules, from which foreign private issuers are generally exempt.

Our Practice The Company has not established a compensation committee. As a matter of Italian law and under our by-laws, the
compensation of executive directors, including the CEO, is determined by the board of directors, after consultation with the board of statutory auditors, within a maximum amount established by the Companys shareholders, while the
Companys shareholders determine the base compensation for all Board members, including non-executive directors. Compensation of the Companys executive officers is determined by the Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not produce a
compensation report. However, the Company discloses aggregate compensation of all of its directors and officers as well as individual compensation of each director in Item 6 of its Annual Report.

Nominating Committee

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  Under NYSE standards, a domestic company must have a nominating committee (or equivalent)
comprised solely of independent directors, which is responsible for nominating directors.

Our Practice As allowed by
Italian laws, the Company has not established a nominating committee (or equivalent) responsible for nominating its directors. Directors may be nominated by any of the Companys shareholders or the Companys board of directors.
Mr. Natuzzi, by virtue of owning a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company, controls the Company, including its management and the selection of its board of directors.

Corporate Governance and Code of Ethics

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  Under NYSE standards, a company must adopt governance guidelines and a code of business conduct
and ethics for directors, officers and employees. A company must also publish these items on its website and provide printed copies on request. Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a company to disclose whether it has adopted a code
of ethics for its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and if not, the reasons why it has not done so. The NYSE listing standards applicable to
U.S. companies provide that codes of conduct and ethics should address, at a minimum, conflicts of interest; corporate opportunities; confidentiality; fair dealing; protection and use of company assets; legal compliance; and reporting of illegal and
unethical behavior. Corporate governance guidelines must address, at a minimum, directors qualifications, responsibilities and compensation; access to management and independent advisers; management succession; director orientation and
continuing education; and annual performance evaluation of the board.

Our Practice In January 2011, the Companys
board of directors approved the adoption of a compliance program to prevent certain criminal offenses, according to the Italian Decree 231/2001. The Company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all employees of the Company, including the
Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and principal accounting officer. The Company believes that its code of ethics and the conduct and procedures adopted by the Company address the relevant issues contemplated by the
NYSE standards applicable to U.S. companies noted above.

Certifications as to Violations of NYSE Standards

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  Under NYSE listing standards, the CEO of a U.S. company listed on the NYSE must certify annually
to the NYSE that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of the NYSE corporate governance standards. The company must disclose this certification, as well as the fact that the CEO/CFO certification required under Section 302 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been made in the companys annual report to shareholders (or, if no annual report to shareholders is prepared, its annual report). Each listed company on the NYSE, both domestic and foreign issuers, must
submit an annual written affirmation to the NYSE regarding compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance standards. In addition, each listed company on the NYSE, both domestic and foreign issuers, must submit interim affirmations to the NYSE
upon the occurrence of specified events. A domestic issuer must file such an interim affirmation whenever the independent status of a director changes, a director joins or leaves the board, a change occurs to the composition of the audit,
nominating/corporate governance, or compensation committee, or there is a change in the companys classification as a controlled company.

The CEO of both domestic and foreign issuers listed on the NYSE must promptly notify the NYSE in writing if any executive officer becomes
aware of any material non-compliance with the NYSE corporate governance standards.

Our Practice  Under the NYSE rules, the
Companys CEO is not required to certify annually to the NYSE whether he is aware of any violation by the Company of the NYSE corporate governance standards. However, the Company is required to submit an annual affirmation of compliance with
applicable NYSE corporate governance standards to the NYSE within 30 days of the filing of its annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC. The Company is also required to submit to the NYSE an interim written affirmation any time it is no longer
eligible to rely on, or chooses to no longer rely on, a previously applicable exemption provided by Rule 10A-3, or if a member of its audit committee ceases to be deemed independent or an audit committee member had been added. Under NYSE rules, the
Companys CEO must notify the NYSE in writing if any executive officer becomes aware of any material non-compliance by the Company with NYSE corporate governance standards.

Shareholder Approval of Adoption and Modification of Equity Compensation Plans

NYSE Domestic Company Standards  Shareholders of a U.S. company listed on the NYSE must approve the adoption of and any material
revision to the companys equity compensation plans, with certain exceptions.

Our Practice Although the Companys
shareholders must authorize (i) the issuance of shares in connection with capital increases, and (ii) the buy-back of its own shares, the adoption of equity compensation plans does not per se require prior approval of the shareholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Natuzzi S.p.A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with established accounting principles in the Republic of Italy.

Established accounting
principles in the Republic of Italy vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Information related to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 31 to the
consolidated financial statements.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), Natuzzi S.p.A. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated May 23, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted, where necessary, to conform to Natuzzis accounting principles and policies, which are consistent with Italian legal requirements governing financial statements considered in conjunction with
established accounting principles promulgated by the Italian Accounting Profession (OIC).

Established accounting principles in the
Republic of Italy vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 31 to the consolidated
financial statements.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are also based on the considerations
indicated in paragraph Liquidity and Capital Resources included in Item 5 of this Annual Report and are outlined below.

a) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all affiliates and companies that Natuzzi directly or indirectly controls, either through
majority ownership or otherwise. Control is presumed to exist where more than one-half of a subsidiarys voting power is controlled by the Company or the Company is able to govern the financial and operating policies of a subsidiary or control
the removal or appointment of a majority of a subsidiarys board of directors. Where an entity either began or ceased to be controlled during the year, the results of operations are included only from the date control commenced or up to date
control ceased.

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and the carrying value of
intercompany investments held is eliminated against the related shareholders equity accounts. The non-controlling interests of consolidated subsidiaries are separately reported in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of
operations. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

b) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates applicable at the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currency are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations,
except for exchange gain and losses deriving from an extension of the Companys investment in a subsidiary, that are instead posted to equity.

c) Forward and collars exchange contracts

The Group enters into forward exchange contracts (known in Italian financial markets as domestic currency swaps) and, for a limited number of
contracts, into so called zero cost collars exchange rate derivative instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risks. The Group does not enter into these contracts on a speculative basis, nor is hedge effectiveness
constantly monitored. As a consequence of this, forward and collar exchange contracts are not used to hedge any on or off-balance sheet items. Therefore, at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 all unrealized gains or losses on such contracts are
recorded in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations.

d) Financial statements of foreign operations

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries expressed in foreign currency are translated directly into euro as follows: i) year-end
exchange rate for assets, liabilities, and shareholders equity and ii) average exchange rates during the year for revenues and expenses. The resulting exchange differences on translation are recorded as a direct adjustment to
shareholders equity.

e) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents cash on hand, amounts on deposit and on account in banks.

f) Marketable debt securities

Marketable debt securities are valued at the lower of cost or market value determined on an individual security basis. A valuation allowance is
established and recorded as a charge to other income (expense), net, for unrealized losses on securities. Unrealized gains are not recorded until realized. Recoveries in the value of securities are recorded as part of other income (expense), net,
but only to the extent of previously recognized unrealized losses.

Gains and losses realized on the sale of marketable debt securities
are computed based on a weighted-average cost of the specific securities being sold. Realized gains and losses are charged to other income (expense), net.

g) Accounts receivable and payable

Receivables are stated at nominal value net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Payables are stated at face value. The Group records
revenues net of returns and discounts. The Group estimates sales returns and discounts and creates an allowance for them in the year of the related sales. The Group makes estimates in connection with such allowances based on its experience and
historical trends in its large volumes of homogeneous transactions. However, actual costs for returns and discounts may differ significantly from these estimates if factors such as economic conditions, customer preferences or changes in product
quality differ from the ones used by the Group in making these estimates.

The Group makes estimates and judgments in relation to the
collectability of its accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on losses it may experience as a result of failure by its customers to pay amounts owed. The Group estimates these losses using consistent methods that
take into consideration, in particular, insurance coverage in place, the creditworthiness of its customers and general economic conditions. Changes to assumptions relating to these estimates could affect actual results. Actual results may differ
significantly from the Groups estimates if factors such as general economic conditions and the creditworthiness of its customers are different from the Groups assumptions.

h) Inventories

Raw
materials are stated at the lower of cost (determined under the specific cost method for leather hides and under the weighted-average method for other raw materials) and replacement cost.

Goods in process and finished goods are valued at the lower of production cost and net realizable value. Production cost includes direct
production costs and production overhead costs. The production overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on the manufacturing facilitys normal capacity.

(Expressed in thousands of euros except as otherwise indicated)



The provision for slow moving and obsolete raw materials and finished goods is based on the
estimated realizable value net of the costs of disposal.

i) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, except for certain buildings which were revalued in 1983, 1991 and 2000 according
to Italian revaluation laws. Maintenance and repairs are expensed; significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. The cost or valuation of fixed assets is depreciated on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets (refer to note 10). The related depreciation expense is allocated to cost of goods sold, selling expenses and general and administrative expenses based on the usage of the assets. Depreciation is
calculated also for assets not in use.

j) Intangible assets and Goodwill

Set-up costs, advertising costs and goodwill are recorded with the consent of the board of statutory auditors, and are stated at cost, net of
the amortization expense calculated on the straight-line method over a period of five years. Other intangible assets primarily include software and trademarks, and are stated at cost, net of the amortization expense calculated on the straight-line
method over their estimated useful life.

The carrying amounts of these assets are reviewed to determine if they are in excess of their
recoverable amount, based on discounted cash flows, at the consolidated balance sheet date. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount.

l) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets with estimable useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with its recoverable value, which is the higher of a)
future undiscounted and discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or b) estimated fair value less costs to sell. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable value of the assets. Assets not in use/to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell. Estimated fair value is generally determined
through various valuation techniques including quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

m) Income taxes

Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and for losses available for carryforward in the various tax jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

n) Government grants

Capital grants compensate the Group for the partial cost of an asset and are part of the Italian governments investment incentive
program, under which the Group receives amounts generally equal to a percentage of the aggregate investment made by the Group in the construction of new manufacturing facilities, or in the improvement of existing facilities, in designated areas of
the country.

(Expressed in thousands of euros except as otherwise indicated)



Capital grants from government agencies are recorded when there is reasonable assurance that
the grants will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions applying to them.

Until December 31, 2000 capital
grants were recorded, net of tax, within reserves in shareholders equity. As from January 1, 2001 all new capital grants are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet initially as deferred income and subsequently recognized in the
consolidated statement of operations as revenue on a systematic basis over the useful life of the related asset.

In addition when capital
grants are received after the year in which the related assets are acquired, the depreciation of the capital grants is recognized as income as follows: (a) the depreciation of the grants related to the amortization of the assets recorded in
statements of operations in the years prior to the date in which the grants are received, is recorded in other income (expense), net; (b) the depreciation of the grants related to the amortization of the assets recorded in statements of
operations of the year, is recorded in net sales.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the deferred income for capital grants shown in the
consolidated balance sheet amounts to 7,664 and 8,063, respectively.

The amortization of these grants recorded in net sales of the
consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, amounts to 443, 461 and 470, respectively.

Cost reimbursement grants relating to research, training and other personnel costs are credited to income when there is a reasonable assurance
of receipt from government agencies.

o) Employees leaving entitlement

Leaving entitlements represent amounts accrued for each Italian employee that are due and payable upon termination of employment, assuming
immediate separation, determined in accordance with applicable Italian labour laws. The Group accrues the full amount of employees vested benefit obligation as determined by such laws for leaving entitlements. At December 31, 2015 and
2014 employees leaving entitlement shown in the consolidated balance sheets amounts to 20,539 and 20,890, respectively.

Under such
Italian labor laws, upon termination of an employment relationship, the former employee has the right to receive termination benefits for each year of service equal to the employees gross annual salary, divided by 13.5. The entitlement is
increased each year by an amount corresponding to 75% of the rise in the cost of living index plus 1.5 points.

The expenses recorded for
the leaving entitlement for the years ended on December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 5,157, 5,690 and 6,162, respectively.

p)
Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on sales at the time products are shipped from the manufacturing facilities, and
when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.

Revenues are recorded net of returns and discounts. Sales returns and discounts are estimated and provided for in the year of sales. Such
allowances are made based on historical trends. The Company has the ability to make a reasonable estimate of such allowances due to large volumes of homogeneous transactions and historical experience.

q) Cost of sales, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses

Cost of sales consist of the following expenses: the change in opening and closing inventories, purchases of raw materials, labor costs, third
party manufacturing costs, depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and equipment used in the production

of finished goods, energy and water expenses (for instance light and power expenses), expenses for maintenance and repairs of production facilities, distribution network costs (including inbound
freight charges, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other logistic costs involved in the production cycle), rentals and security costs for production facilities, small-tools replacement costs, insurance costs, and other minor expenses.

Selling expenses consist of the following expenses: shipping and handling costs incurred for transporting finished products to customers,
advertising costs, labor costs for sales personnel, rental expense for stores, commissions to sales representatives and related costs, depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that, based on their
usage, are allocated to selling expense, sales catalogue and related expenses, warranty costs, exhibition and trade-fair costs, advisory fees for sales and marketing of finished products, expenses for maintenance and repair of stores and other trade
buildings, bad debt expense, insurance costs for trade receivables and other related costs, and other miscellaneous expenses.

General and
administrative expenses consist of the following expenses: costs for administrative personnel, advisory fees for accounting and information-technology services, traveling expenses for management and other personnel, depreciation and amortization
expenses related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that, based on their usage, are allocated to general and administrative expense, postage and telephone costs, stationery and other office-supplies costs, expenses for
maintenance and repair of administrative facilities, statutory auditors and external auditors fees, and other miscellaneous expenses. As noted above, the costs of the Groups distributions network, which include inbound freight charges,
warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other logistic costs involved in the production cycle, are classified under the cost of sales line item.

r) Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs sustained to transport products to customers are expensed in the periods incurred and are included in selling
expenses. Shipping and handling expenses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 44,624, 42,326 and 40,461, respectively.

s) Advertising costs

Advertising costs (other than those capitalized as intangibles) are expensed in the periods incurred and are included in selling expenses.
Advertising expenses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were 16,724, 17,943 and 16,152, respectively.

t) Commission expense

Commissions payable to sales representatives and the related expenses are recorded at the time shipments are made by the Group to customers and
are included in selling expenses. Commissions are not paid until payment for the related sales invoice is remitted to the Group by the customer.

u) Warranties

Warranties
are estimated and provided for in the year of sales. Such allowances are made based on historical trends. The Company has the ability to make a reasonable estimate of such allowances due to large volumes of homogeneous transactions and historical
trends.

v) Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 research and development expenses were
3,349 and 5,794 respectively.

w) Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated.

x) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with established accounting policies requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

y) Leases

The Company has evaluated is existing lease contracts and concluded that all of its contracts are operating in nature. As such, lease expenses
are recognized when incurred over the term of the lease.

z) Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (losses) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (losses) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (losses) per share include the effects of the possible issuance of ordinary shares under share grants and option plans in the determination of the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

The following table provides the amounts used in the calculation of losses per share:

In China, during 2015 the Company pledged fixed-term and loan deposits for a total amount of
400 million RMB (56.6 million euro) in order to obtain a bank overdraft. Following repayment of the overdraft in February 2016, the pledge has been released.

In Europe the cash increase is due to the trade receivables securitization agreement signed in July 2015.

Trade receivables are due primarily from major retailers who sell directly to their customers. Trade
receivables due from related parties amounted to 5,475 as at December 31, 2015 (5,501 in 2014). Sales to related parties amounted to 6,008 in 2015 (6,837 in 2014). Transactions with related parties were conducted at arms length. During
2014, payments by installments were agreed upon, with related parties, expiring in 2020. Following the agreements reached, the non-current portion of receivables, amounting to 2,193 (3,393 in 2014), was reclassified as non-current assets.

The decrease in trade receivables against last year is primarily due to a non-recourse trade receivable securitization agreement signed by the
Company in July 2015, following to which the Company sells, on a revolving basis a with a non-recourse clause, a maximum amount of 35 million performing receivables.

As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, the Company had
customers who exceeded 5% of trade receivables and/or net sales as follows:

As shown in the table above, long lived assets for the Group decrease by 9,682 against 2014, mainly for the
impact of the prosecution of the depreciation process.

In 2015 the Company performed an impairment review of its fixed assets.

For assets in use, the Company determined the fair value using the Undiscounted and Discounted Cash Flow, at the lowest level for which
identifiable cash flows are independent of other cash flows, and compared it with the carrying value of its fixed assets. Cash flow projections were derived from the Business Plan 2014-2016, adopted by the Board of Directors on 2014, as updated on
February 2016 by management for the period 2017-2020 to reflect the roll-forward of the Plan in the next years.

For assets not in use/to
be disposed of, the fair value was estimated through third-party independent external appraisals. As for the asset located in Pojuca, following a sale purchase agreement signed in the first months of 2015 with a third party, and the total collection
of the sale price, occurred in 2016, the Company has reversed a portion of the impairment loss recorded in previous years, for an amount of 801.

As a result of the impairment tests performed, no impairment losses emerged.

In 2014, the Company performed an impairment review of its fixed assets and an impairment loss totaling 1,160 was recorded (414 as land
and industrial buildings, 746 as retail gallery and store furnishing).

For assets in use, the Company determined the
fair value using the Undiscounted and Discounted Cash Flow, at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of other cash flows, and compared it with the carrying value of its fixed assets. Cash flow projections were derived
from the Business Plan 2014-2016, adopted by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2014, as updated by management to reflect the roll-forward of the Plan in the next years.

For assets not in use/to be disposed of, the fair value was estimated through third-party
independent external appraisals, and, for some specific assets (Pojuca plant) through the most recent market value determined on the basis of the sale purchase agreement stipulated in the first months of 2015 mentioned above.

In 2013 the Company performed an impairment review of its fixed assets and an impairment loss totaling 8,550 was recorded (450 as land
and industrial buildings, 448 as machinery and equipment, 1,659 as retail gallery and store furnishing and 5,993 as airplane).

For assets in use, the Company determined the fair value using the Undiscounted and Discounted Cash Flow, at the lowest level for which
identifiable cash flows are independent of other cash flows, and compared it with the carrying value of its fixed assets. Cash flow projections were derived from the Business Plan 2014-2016, as adopted by the Board of Directors on February 28,
2014.

For assets not in use/to be disposed of, the fair value was estimated through third-party independent external appraisals, and, for
some specific assets (aircraft) through the most recent market value determined on the basis of a preliminary sale agreement stipulated in the first months of 2014.

Following the main impairments performed by country.

In Brazil the Company in order to improve its worldwide manufacturing efficiency, in 2008 decided to close and try to sell one of the
two Brazilian manufacturing plants located in PojucaState of Bahia. This decision was formally confirmed in 2010 with a Board of Directors resolution. The plant was classified as property, plant and equipment since the sale was deemed
unlikely to happen in the short term. Impairment tests were performed from 2008 on, based on third-party independent appraisals, which resulted in the recording of an impairment loss of 2,911 in 2008 and an additional impairment loss of 1,036 in
2011. No impairment loss emerged in 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, new external appraisals were requested for the review of the fair
market value of Pojuca plant (not in use) and Simoes Filho plant (currently in use). The appraisals determined that the carrying values of these plants (net of the impairment losses already recorded for the Pojuca plant) were less than the fair
value less cost to sell for each of the plant considered. As a consequence, no additional impairment loss has been recorded in 2013 consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2013 the carrying value of the plant not in use
(Pojuca), net of the 2008 and 2011 impairment loss, was 4,936.

As of December 31, 2014, a new impairment test has been performed for
the Pojuca plant (not in use) and Simoes Filho plant (currently in use). The impairment test has been based on new third-party external appraisals that determined the carrying values of these plants do not exceed the fair value less cost to sell for
each of the plant considered. Also, during 2014, negotiations started with a third party for the sale of the Pojuca plant. In particular, in July 2014 a rental agreement with a sale promise clause was signed, followed by a sale/purchase agreement
signed in the first months of 2015, in which the agreed sale price was higher than the carrying value of the plant as of December 31, 2014. For the reported considerations, no additional impairment loss was recorded in 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, an impairment test has been performed on the Simoes Filho plant (currently in use), on the basis of a
third-party external appraisal, that confirmed the full recoverability of the carrying value of the plant, as compared to its fair value. As for the Pojuca plant, following the sale/purchase agreement signed in the first months of 2015, up to
December 31, 2015 the Company collected nearly all the total agreed sale price. The remainder was collected in January 2016. Since the formal transfer of

property in the registers has not yet occurred, in the financial statements as of December 31, 2015 the Company has maintained the classification of the plant among long-lived assets plant,
but in consideration of the total collection of the sale price, has decided to reverse a portion of the impairment loss recorded in previous years, for an amount of 801. As of December 31, 2015 the carrying value of the plant not in use
(Pojuca) equals therefore the sale price, for an amount of 3,780.

In Italy, the Company in 2008 decided to close and market for
sale some industrial buildings mainly utilized as warehouses and located in the cities of Altamura and Matera nearby the Groups headquarters in Santeramo in Colle. As a result of this decision the Company performed an impairment analysis and
recorded an impairment loss of 1,792.

As of December 31, 2013, as a consequence of the reorganization process of the Group that
resulted in the agreement entered into with government Ministries, regions and trade unions on October 10, 2013, two other plants (Ginosa and MateraLa Martella) were idled and considered not to be used in the near term. As a consequence,
at year-end, after recording the depreciation charge for the year, the Company performed an impairment analysis estimating the fair value of all industrial buildings not in use on the basis of observable market transactions involving sales of
comparable buildings and third party independent appraisals. Based on these third-party independent appraisals, the Company recorded an impairment loss of 404.

As of December 31, 2014, new third-party external appraisals were requested for the review of the fair market value of plants not in use.
For some plants, the appraisals resulted in a carrying value higher than the fair value, for an amount of 357, which the Company recorded as impairment loss.

As of December 31, 2015, the third-party expert that had prepared the appraisals used in the preparation of 2014 financial statements
reconfirmed the fair value of plants not in use as resulting from those appraisals. The carrying value of these plants is however lower than the assessed fair value, therefore no impairment losses have resulted.

Also, in 2013 the Company performed an impairment test was performed on plants being used and assets pertaining to the Italian retail business
unit. The recoverable amount was determined as value in use, using the Discounted Cash Flow method, derived from the Business Plan 2014-2016, as adopted by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2014. The impairment test resulted in the
recording of an impairment loss of 698 for long-lived assets connected to the retail business unit. Also, as of December 31, 2013, an impairment loss of 5,993 was recorded for a specific asset (Airplane), as a result of a preliminary sale
agreement signed by the Company in March 2014, in order to align the carrying value of the Airplane to the market value. The airplane has been formally sold in August 2014, recording an additional loss of 99.

During 2014, an impairment test was performed on plants being used and assets pertaining to the Italian retail business unit, in consideration
of the history of losses over the past few years. The recoverable amount was determined as value in use, using the Discounted Cash Flow method, derived from the original Business Plan 2014-2016 as updated for the upcoming years. No impairment loss
was recorded as a result of the test performed.

As of December 31, 2015, a new impairment test has been performed on plants being
used and assets pertaining to the Italian retail business unit, in consideration of the history of losses reported in previous years and the still negative result for the year. The recoverable amount has been determined as value in use, using the
Discounted Cash Flow method, derived from the new Business Plan 2017-2020, going to be finalized, which guidelines have been illustrated to the Board of Directors in February 2016. No impairment loss has been recorded as a result of the test
performed.

In China, an impairment test was performed in 2014 on the Chinese plant, in consideration of the loss for the year. In
particular, the delays in the implementation of the new manufacturing process (moving line) caused a decline in revenues and an increase in

Business Plan 2017-2020, going to be finalized, which guidelines have been illustrated to the Board of Directors in February 2016. No impairment loss has been recorded as a result of the test performed.

In Spain, in 2013, an additional impairment test was performed for the retail long-lived assets (equipment and retail gallery and store
furnishing) as a consequence of the reported losses of stores and galleries over the past few years. The recoverable amount was determined as value in use, using the Discounted Cash Flow method, derived from the Business Plan 2014-2016, as adopted
by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2014. The impairment test resulted in the recording of an impairment loss of 482.

furnishing) as a consequence of the reported losses of stores and galleries over the past few years. The recoverable amount was determined as value in use, using the Discounted Cash Flow method, derived from the original Business Plan 2014-2016 as
updated for the upcoming years. The impairment test resulted in the recording of an impairment loss of 649.

In Other European
countries(mainly Germany), in 2013 an impairment test was performed for the retail long-lived assets due to the negative track record of economic results, and an impairment loss of 782 was recorded. Also in this case, the recoverable amount was
determined as value in use, using the Discounted Cash Flow method, derived from the Business Plan 2014-2016, as adopted by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2014.

During 2013, the depreciation process of Goodwill, related to a small operating unit named Italian
retail owned stores, was completed and, as a consequence, its net book value is nil and aligned with the US GAAP where the original carrying value was already written-off. See Note 31.

13. Investment in affiliates

At December 31, 2015 investments in affiliates included the 49% interest in Salena S.r.l., which carrying value was
totally impaired in 2014, in consideration of some legal disputes among shareholders.

18. Taxes on income

Italian companies are subject to two enacted income taxes at the following rates:



|                    |  |      |       |   |      |  |       |      |  |  |       |  
|------------------- |  | ---- | ----- | - | ---- |  | ----- | ---- |  |  | ----- | -
|                    |  | 2015 |       |   | 2014 |  |       | 2013 | 
|IRES (state tax)    |  |      | 27.50 | % |      |  | 27.50 | %    |  |  | 27.50 | %
|IRAP (regional tax) |  |      | 4.82  | % |      |  | 4.82  | %    |  |  | 4.82  | %

IRES is a state tax and is calculated on the taxable income determined on the income before taxes modified to
reflect all temporary and permanent differences regulated by the tax law. The enacted IRES tax rate for 2015, 2014 and 2013 is 27.50% of taxable income. The 2016 budget law (Law n. 208 of 28 December 2015) was passed by the Italian Parliament
on December, 22 2015 with significant changes relating to Italys corporate income tax. In fact, the Italian tax rate has been reduced from 27.5% to 24% starting from 2017, whereas it will remain 27.5% in 2016.

IRAP is a regional tax and each Italian region has the power to increase the current rate of 3.90% by a maximum of 0.92%. In general, the
taxable base of IRAP is a form of gross profit determined as the difference between gross revenues (excluding interest and dividend income) and direct production costs (excluding interest expense and other financial costs). The enacted IRAP tax rate
due in Puglia region for 2015, 2014 and 2013 is 4.82% (3.90% plus 0.92%). Total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are allocated as follows:



|            |  |      |      |   |      |  |        |      |  |  |        |

|            |  |      |      |   |      |  |        |      |  |  |        |  
|Total (b)   |  |      | (6   | ) |      |  | 162    |      |  |  | (89    | )

The tax reduction is determined by a lower 2015 IRAP provision according to the 2015 Italian Financial Law
which settled the deductibility of personnel expenses from the IRAP tax basis unlike 2014.

Certain foreign subsidiaries enjoy significant
tax benefits, such as corporate income tax exemptions or reductions of the corporate income tax rates effectively applicable. The tax reconciliation table reported below shows the effect of such tax exempt income on the Groups
2015, 2014 and 2013 income tax charge.

Consolidated Net income/(loss) before income taxes and non-controlling interest of the
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, is analyzed as follows:

(Expressed in thousands of euros except as otherwise indicated)



The deferred taxes reported above have been calculated considering the tax rate reduction
from 27.5% to 24% approved by the Italian Parliament and starting from 2017. Therefore, the tax rate applied to calculate each of that Italian deferred tax assets and liabilities has been set considering the estimated period in which each of the
related temporary differences will be reversed.

A valuation allowance has been established for most of the deductible tax temporary
differences and tax loss carry-forwards.

Net deferred tax assets not provided for are mainly related to provisions for contingent
liabilities and unrealized net losses on foreign exchange recorded by Natuzzi China Ltd, Natuzzi Russia and Italsofa Romania, for which a valuation allowance has not been recorded in consideration of the positive economic result of the subsidiaries.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 102,722 and 112,372, respectively. The net
change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was a decrease of 9,650 and an increase of 13,600, respectively. In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible and the tax loss carry-forwards are utilized. The increase of the 2015 deferred tax assets is related to some temporary differences of foreign subsidiaries.

Starting from 2013, in Italy, a new tax rule has been adopted for tax losses carry forwards. From 2013 all net losses carried forward no
longer expire, with the only limitation being that such loss carryforwards can be utilized to off-set a maximum of 80% of the taxable income in each following year. The new tax rule is applicable also to net losses recorded in previous periods.

Given the cumulative loss position of the Company and of most of the Italian and foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014,
and despite the new tax rule described above, management has considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies, in making their assessment. The management after a reasonable analysis as of December 31,
2015 and 2014 has not identified any relevant tax planning strategies prudent and feasible available to reduce the valuation allowance. Therefore, at December 31, 2015 and 2014 the realization of the deferred tax assets is primarily based on
the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, except in certain historically profitable jurisdictions.

Based upon this analysis,
management believes it is not more likely than not that Natuzzi Group will realize the benefits of these deductible differences and net operating losses carry-forwards, net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Net deferred income tax assets are included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The Group is involved in a number of certain and probable claims (including tax claims) and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters, after the provision accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on the Groups consolidated financial position or results
of operations. The changes in the balance of Provision for tax and legal proceedings for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

The increase in the provision refers to 432 of potential fiscal liability of the subsidiary Italsofa Nordeste,
connected to the conversion to share capital of some liabilities due by the subsidiary to the Company, following a formal shareholders resolution dated December 31, 2015. The remaining accrual refers to several minor tax and legal claims
mainly pertaining to the Company and the subsidiary Italsofa Nordeste.

The One-time termination benefits include the amounts
to be paid on the separation date of certain workers and have been determined by the Company based on the current applicable Italian law and regulations for involuntarily termination of employees. In particular, in October 2011 the Italian Ministry
of Labor accepted the request made by the Company to access unemployment benefits granted by a special Social Security procedure called CIGS - Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria (Italian law July, 23 1991 n. 223 e D.M.
August 20, 2002 n. 31444) , and admitted the Company to a 24 month layoff period, in order to support the reorganization process.

Before the end of the first lay-off period (October 15, 2013), an agreement was signed between the Company and the Trade Unions by which the
Company obtained the extension by one year (October 15, 2014) of the special Social Security procedure called CIGS - Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria, and the number of redundant workers was estimated at 1,506, with the
possibility for maximum 600 workers to adhere to an incentive payments program ending in May 2014. Based on the agreement dated October 10, 2013, the Company, at December 31, 2013 increased by 19,959 the provision accrued in 2011 for
one-time termination benefits, coming to a total provision of 24,730 as of December 31, 2013. The accrual of 19,959 was recorded as a non-operating expense, under the line other income/(expense) net of the consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 (see note 28). The provision, calculated by the Company together with its labor consultants, considered (i) the cost of future layoffs, to be paid for those workers not adhering to the
incentive payments program (ii) the best estimation of incentive payments to be paid in 2014 (iii) the advance notice remuneration owed to redundant workers in case of termination.

During 2014, the Company obtained the postponement of the CIGS - Cassa Integrazione
Guadagni Straordinaria by one additional year (expiring on October 16, 2015) for 1.550 workers. Also, in 2014, negotiations started with social parties to obtain a Solidarity agreement aimed to avoid layoffs by reducing the number of
daily work hours for all employees and reduce labor and social contribution costs. The agreement was finally signed on March 3, 2015 and referred to a total number of 1,818 workers, net of the 429 workers that left the Company further to the
acceptance of incentive payments. Remaining redundant employees amounted to 516, to be managed through possible reabsorptions at the Ginosa site and at newcos going to be established, together with further incentive payment programs to be launched.
Based on the estimation of the redundancy as of December 31, 2014, no accrual was posted to the one-time termination benefit provision since the Company estimated, together with its labor consultant, that the remaining provision was sufficient
enough to cover the cost of future layoffs and/or incentive payments to be agreed upon.

During 2015, 100 workers, originally employed at
the Ginosa plant, have been re-employed at the Jesce, Matera and Laterza plants. As for the remaining redundancy, on July 28, 2015 a new incentive payment program has been launched, with ultimate deadline finally set on June 30, 2016.
Afterwards, on October 14, 2015 the Company has obtained the postponement of the CIGS- Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria program by one additional year (expiring on October 16, 2016) for a number of 424 workers.
As of December 31, 2015, 65 workers have adhered to the new incentive payment program. Based on these elements, the remaining estimated redundancy is 359 workers. Out of this number, 100 workers are likely to accept incentives by June 30,
2016. In order to avoid layoffs, the Company is actively trying to place additional 100 redundant workers, granting incentives to local firms available to hire Natuzzi workers currently benefiting of the CIGS. Also, for the remaining 159 workers,
the Company is evaluating to make use of the non-opposed mobility, so to save on indemnities to be paid at the time of the termination of the work contract. Given this scenario, the Company, together with its labor consultant, has increased the
provision for one-time termination benefits by 3,425. The provision, calculated by the Company together with its labor consultants, considered (i) the cost of future layoffs, to be paid for those workers not adhering to the incentive payments
program (ii) the best estimation of incentive payments to be paid in 2016 (iii) the advance notice remuneration owed to redundant workers in case of termination.

During 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted one-time termination benefits of 4,502, 13,495 and 1,364
respectively, to the workers terminated pursuant to individual agreements reached during each year.

Italian law requires that 5% of net income of the parent company is retained as a legal reserve, until this
reserve is 20% of the issued share capital of each respective company. The legal reserve may be utilized to offset losses; any portion which exceeds 20% of the issued share capital is distributable as dividends. The legal reserve totaled 3,203 and
11,199 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, partially utilized in 2015 to offset the loss recorded by the parent company.

During 2015, the
monetary revaluation reserve and the government capital grants reserve were totally used to offset of the loss for 2014 recorded by the parent company.

The translation adjustment for 2015 included in retained earnings of shareholders equity related to translation of the Groups
foreign assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 was a credit of 7,803 (credit of 4,385 at December 31, 2014).

Certain banks have provided guarantees at December 31, 2015 to secure payments to third
parties amounting to 2,716 (788 at December 31, 2014). These guarantees are unsecured and have various maturities extending through December 31, 2016.

Following the defensive job-security agreement signed with social parties on March 3, 2015, and the subsequent incentive
payment program launched on July 28, 2015, redundant employees have been estimated to be 359, to be managed through replacement to local firms, use of incentives and non-opposed mobility. At the end of the program, lasting 24 months, the
Company will therefore provide the remaining redundant employees with notice of formal termination.

As of December 31, 2015, the accrual of 1,153 is primarily composed of legal contingencies that arose from employees and suppliers of the
parent Company by 320 and tax and legal contingencies related to the subsidiary Italsofa Nordeste for 833.

As of December 31, 2014,
no additional accruals were recorded.

As of December 31, 2013 the amount of the accrual for contingent liabilities, totaling 1,433,
was related to several minor claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business mainly referred to the parent Company.

Impairment losses of long-lived assets and non-current investmentsFollowing the sale purchase agreement signed in the first
months of 2015 with a third party for the sale of the Pojuca plant not in use, and the total collection of the sale price, which occurred in 2016, the Company has reversed a portion of the impairment loss recorded in previous years, for an amount of
801.

In 2014 the Company performed an impairment review of its production and retail long-lived assets, and an impairment loss of 1,160
was recorded (414 of lands and industrial buildings, 746 as retail gallery and store furnishings). Also, at December 31, 2014, the Company has totally impaired the investment in the affiliate Salena S.r.l., in
consideration of some legal disputes among shareholders for an amount of 1,430.

In 2013 the Company performed an impairment review of its
production and retail long-lived assets and an impairment loss totaling 8,550 was recorded (2,153 as retail assets, 404 as long-lived assets not in use in Italy, and 5,993 as the airplane).

One-time termination benefits  In October 2011 the Italian Ministry of Labor accepted the request made by the Company to access
unemployment benefits granted by a special Social Security procedure called CIGSCassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria (Italian law July, 23 1991 n. 223 e D.M. August 20, 2002 n. 31444) , and admitted the Company to
a 24 month layoff period, in order to support the reorganization process.

Before the end of the first lay-off period (October 15, 2013),
an agreement was signed between the Company and the Trade Unions by which the Company obtained the extension by one year (October 15, 2014) of the special Social Security procedure called CIGSCassa Integrazione Guadagni
Straordinaria, and the number of redundant workers was estimated at 1,506, with the possibility for maximum 600 workers to adhere to an incentive payments program ending in May 2014. Based on the agreement dated October 10, 2013, the
Company, at December 31, 2013 increased by 19,959 the provision accrued in 2011 for one-time termination benefits, coming to a total provision of 24,730 as of December 31, 2013. The accrual of 19,959 was recorded as a non-operating
expense, under the line other income/(expense) net of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. The provision, calculated by the Company together with its labor consultants, considered
(i) the cost of future layoffs, to be paid for those workers not adhering to the incentive payments program (ii) the best estimation of incentive payments to be paid in 2014 (iii) the advance notice remuneration owed to redundant
workers in case of termination.

During 2014, the Company obtained the postponement of the CIGSCassa Integrazione Guadagni
Straordinaria by one additional year (expiring on October 16, 2015) for 1.550 workers. Also, in 2014, negotiations started with social parties to obtain a Solidarity agreement aimed to avoid layoffs by reducing the number of daily
work hours for all employees and reduce labor and social contribution costs. The agreement was finally signed on March 3, 2015 and referred to a total number of 1,818 workers, net of the 429 workers that left the Company further to the
acceptance of incentive payments. Remaining redundant employees amounted to

516, to be managed through possible reabsorptions at the Ginosa site and at newcos going to be established, together with further incentive payment programs. Based on the estimation of the
redundancy as of December 31, 2014, no accrual was posted to the one-time termination benefit provision since the Company estimated, together with its labor consultant, that the remaining provision was sufficient enough to cover the cost of
future layoffs and/or incentive payments to be agreed upon. The cost of 844 included in the line other income/(expense), net was related to the termination benefits recognized to laid-off employees of the subsidiaries Natco and Impe, for
which no provision was accounted for in previous years.

During 2015, 100 workers, originally employed at the Ginosa plant, were
re-employed at the Santeramo Jesce, Matera and Laterza plants. As for the remaining redundancy, on July 28, 2015 a new incentive payment program has been launched, with an ultimate deadline finally set for June 30, 2016. Afterwards, on
October 14, 2015 the Company obtained the postponement of the CIGSCassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria program by one additional year (expiring on October 16, 2016) for 424 workers. As of December 31,
2015, 65 workers have adhered to the new incentive payment program. Based on these elements, the remaining estimated redundancy is 359 workers. Out of this number, 100 workers are likely to accept incentives by June 30, 2016. In order to avoid
layoffs, the Company is actively trying to place an additional 100 redundant workers, granting incentives to local firms available to hire Natuzzi workers currently benefiting of the CIGS. Also, for the remaining 159 workers, the Company is
evaluating to make use of the non-opposed mobility, so to save on indemnities to be paid at the time of the termination of the work contract. Given this scenario, the Company, together with its labor consultant, has increased the provision for
one-time termination benefits by 3,425. The accrual of 3,425 was recorded as a non-operating expense, under the line other income/(expense) net of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. The
provision, calculated by the Company together with its labor consultants, considered (i) the cost of future layoffs, to be paid for those workers not adhering to the incentive payments program, (ii) the best estimation of incentive
payments to be paid in 2015 and (iii) the advance notice remuneration owed to redundant workers in case of termination.

Profit
from extraordinary disposal  In consideration of the implementation of the efficiency actions set forth in the Group Transformation Plan, during 2014 the Company sold the security and doorkeeping services to a former related party, for an
amount of 1,328, recording a profit of 1,564.

Chinese relocation compensation On January 26, 2011 Italsofa Shanghai Ltd
(a Chinese subsidiary) signed an agreement with the Shanghai Municipality and Shanghai n.12 Metro Line Development Co. Ltd to abandon its industrial site and relocate to another industrial site. In April 2011, this agreement was executed and
Italsofa Shanghai relocated its manufacturing process to a new industrial site. As a consequence of the signed agreement Italsofa Shanghai collected a relocation compensation amount of 46,691 (equal to RMB 420 million), which was recorded as
non-operating income, under the line other income/(expense) net of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. During 2013, a second supplementary agreement was signed between the Company and the
Shanghai Municipality, by which the Company obtained the reimbursement of taxes due on the relocation compensation, totaling 8,738 (equal to RMB 71.4 million).

Expenses for the Chinese relocation As a consequence of the above relocation, all fixed assets owned by Italsofa Shanghai that
were not transferred to the new industrial site (the industrial building and some machines and equipment) were written-off in 2011 recording a loss of 18,388 (equivalent to RMB 165 million). In addition the Chinese subsidiary recorded other
extraordinary expenses for employees compensation and fees of 3,243 (equivalent to RMB 28 million). The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes under the line other income/(expense) net the
cumulative expenses for the Chinese relocation of 21,631. During 2013, additional consulting expenses were incurred, connected to the second supplementary agreement, totaling 857, which were recorded as non-operating expenses under the line
other income/(expense) net of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Write off of fixed assetsThe write off of fixed assets includes the net book
value of those fixed assets that refer mainly to damaged items and that were no longer in conformity with the production quality standards, together with assets pertaining to stores that were closed. As of December 31, 2013 the write offs of
fixed assets amount to 359. No write-off was recorded for 2014 and 2015.

Other, net  Other, net include as of
December 31, 2015 mainly bonus adjustments received by the parent Company. As of December 31, 2014, the caption included extraordinary expenses incurred by Chinese subsidiaries of 2.1 million and the cumulated depreciation on assets
temporary not in use (i.e. some of the Italian plants), for which depreciation had been suspended in previous years and which had to be recorded following the adoption of the new accounting principles, effective for financial statements closed at
December 31, 2014. The amount of the accumulated depreciation is 694. As of December 31, 2013, the caption included 2,278 of partial write-off of some government grants receivables following a revision of the original grant decree, and
1,693 of extraordinary costs related to the restructuring of the Group.

29. Financial instruments and risk management

A significant portion of the Groups net sales and its costs are denominated in currencies other than the euro, in
particular the U.S. dollar. The remaining costs of the Group are denominated principally in euros. Consequently, a significant portion of the Groups net revenues are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the euro and such other
currencies. The Group uses forward exchange contracts (known in Italy as domestic currency swaps) and zero cost collars to reduce its exposure to the risks of short-term declines in the value of its foreign currency denominated revenues. The Group
uses such derivative instruments to protect the value of its foreign currency denominated revenues, and not for speculative or trading purposes.

The Group is exposed to credit risk in the event that the counterparties to the domestic currency swaps and zero cost collars fail to perform
according to the terms of the contracts. The contract amounts of the domestic currency swaps and zero cost collars described below do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the exposure of the Group through
its use of those financial instruments. The amounts exchanged are calculated on the basis of the contract amounts and the terms of the financial instruments, which relate primarily to exchange rates. The immediate credit risk of the Groups
domestic currency swaps is represented by the unrealized gains or losses on the contracts. Management of the Group enters into contracts with creditworthy counter-parties and believes the risk of material loss from such credit risk to be remote. The
table below summarizes in euro equivalent the contractual amounts of forward exchange contracts and zero cost collars used to hedge principally future cash flows from accounts receivable and sales orders at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the exchange derivative instruments contracts had a net unrealized income
(expense), of (94) and (271), respectively. These amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations (see note 28).

Unrealized gains (losses) on forward exchange contracts are determined by using quoted prices in active markets for similar forward exchange
contracts.

30. Fair value of financial instruments

The following table summarizes the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Groups financial instruments:

|Liabilities:                 |  |               |        |   |           |  |        |               |  |  |           |   |  |  |       |

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, payables and bank overdrafts approximate fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Market value for quoted marketable debt securities is represented by the securities
exchange prices at year-end. Fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on cash flows discounted using current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities.

31. Application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America

The established accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements (Italian GAAP) vary
in certain significant respects from those generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

The differences which have a material effect on net loss and/or shareholders equity are disclosed as
follows:

(a)Certain property, plant and equipment has been revalued in accordance with Italian laws. The revalued amounts are
depreciated for Italian GAAP purposes. US GAAP does not allow for such revaluations, and depreciation is based on historical costs. The revaluation primarily relates to industrial buildings. The adjustment to net loss and shareholders
equity represents the reversal of excess depreciation recorded under Italian GAAP on revalued assets.

(b)Under Italian GAAP until
December 31, 2000 government grants related to capital expenditures were recorded, net of tax, within reserves in shareholders equity. Subsequent to that date such grants have been recorded as deferred income and recognized in the
consolidated statement of operations as revenue or other income, as appropriate under Italian GAAP (see note 3 n)), on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

Under US GAAP, such grants, when received, are classified either as a reduction of the cost of the related fixed asset or as a deferred
credit and amortized over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. The amortization is treated as a reduction of depreciation expense and classified in the consolidated statement of operations according to the nature of the asset to which
the grant relates.

The adjustments to net loss represent mainly the annual amortization of the pre December 31, 2000 capital grants
based on the estimated useful life of the related fixed assets. The adjustments to shareholders equity are to reverse the amounts of capital grants credited directly to equity for Italian GAAP purposes, net of the amounts of amortization of
such grants for US GAAP purposes.

Amortization of deferred income related to grants recognized as revenues under Italian GAAP of
443, 442 and 461 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 respectively would be reclassified as depreciation expense and recorded in cost of goods sold under US GAAP, in the period such amounts are recognized.

(c)Under Italian GAAP, the Group recognizes sales revenue, and accrued costs
associated with the sales revenue, at the time products are shipped from its manufacturing facilities located in Italy and abroad. Most of the products are shipped from factories directly to customers under terms that transfer the risks and
ownership to the customer when the customer takes possession of the goods. These terms are delivered duty paid, delivered duty unpaid, delivered ex quay and delivered at customer factory. Delivery to
the customer generally occurs within one to six weeks from the time of shipment.

US GAAP requires that revenue should not be
recognized until it is realized or realizable, i.e. when related assets received or held are readily convertible to known amounts of cash or claims to cash. Also, revenue should not be recognized until earned, which occurs when the entity has
substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues. For the Group, this requirement is generally met at the time delivery to the customer occurs. Accordingly, the Italian GAAP for revenue
recognition differs from US GAAP.

The principal effects of this variance on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2015 and 2014 and related consolidated statements of operations for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015 are indicated below:

(d)Under Italian GAAP, the Company amortizes the goodwill arising from business acquisitions on a
straight-line basis over a period of five years. In addition, under Italian GAAP, the Company has allocated certain intangible assets, having definite lives and arising from a business acquisition and asset acquisition under the caption goodwill.

Under US GAAP, in accordance with Accounting Standards Certification (ASC) 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, the Company
does not amortize goodwill. Instead, the Company annually assesses goodwill impairment at the end of its fiscal year by applying a fair value test. In the first step of testing for goodwill impairment, the Company estimates the fair value of each
reporting unit, which we have determined to be the geographic operating segments and compares the fair value with the carrying value of the

(Expressed in thousands of euros except as otherwise indicated)



net assets assigned to each reporting unit. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, then a second step would be performed to determine the fair value of the goodwill. In this second
step, the fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting units identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole, as if that reporting unit had just been acquired and the
purchase price were being initially allocated. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than its carrying value for a reporting unit, an impairment charge would be recorded.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, intangible assets and US deferred taxes arising from business and asset acquisitions are as
follows:

In 2013, the original carrying value of the goodwill under Italian GAAP (81) and US GAAP (nil) have
resulted aligned as a consequence of the amortization process, completed at year-end, where for both GAAP the carrying value of goodwill is nil.

(e)Under Italian GAAP as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries expressed in a
foreign currency are translated directly into euro as follows: (i) year-end exchange rate for assets, liabilities, share capital and retained earnings and (ii) average exchange rates during the year for revenues and expenses. The resulting
exchange differences on translation are recorded as a direct adjustment to shareholders equity (see note 3 d)).

Under US GAAP
as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 Natuzzis foreign subsidiaries financial statements have been translated on the basis of the guidance included in ASC No. 830-20, Foreign Currency Transactions (Formerly FASB Statement
No. 52). Under US GAAP, foreign subsidiaries are considered to be an integral part of Natuzzi due to various factors including significant intercompany transactions, financing, and cash flow indicators. Therefore, the functional currency
for these foreign subsidiaries is the functional currency of the parent, namely the euro. As a result all monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured, at the end of each reporting period, using euro and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in
the consolidated statements of operations. For all non monetary assets and liabilities, share capital and retained earnings historical exchange rates are used. The average exchange rates during the year are used to translate non-Euro denominated
revenues and expenses, except for those non-Euro denominated revenues and expenses related to assets and liabilities which are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting exchange differences on translation are recognized in the
statements of operations.

At December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 the US GAAP difference arises due to the
requirement to use the local currency as the functional currency under Italian GAAP as compared to US GAAP, which requires that the functional currency be determined based on certain indicators which may, or may not result in the local currency
being determined to be the functional currency. Consequently, the Company recorded in the US GAAP reconciliation (a) income of 821 for 2015, 5,430 for 2014 and of 1,862 for 2013, respectively; and (b) an increase in shareholders
equity of 7,969 and 9,951 for 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(f)In accordance with Italian GAAP, the Company records the expense
related to one-time termination benefits in the period the Company has formally decided to adopt the termination plan (approval by the Board of Directors and agreements signed with the Trade Unions) and is able to reasonably estimate the related
one-time termination benefits.

Under US GAAP, ASC No. 420, Exit or Disposal Obligations, paragraph 8 states that the
liability for the one-time termination benefits provided to current employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a benefit arrangement that, in substance, is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation
contract is measured and recognized if a one-time arrangement exist at the date the plan of termination meets all the following criteria and has been communicated to the employees: (a) management, having the authority to approve the action,
commits to a plan of termination; (b) the plan identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their job classifications or functions and their locations, and the expected completion date; (c) the plan establishes the terms of the
benefit arrangement, including the benefits that employees will receive upon termination (including but not limited to cash payments), in sufficient detail to enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive if they
are involuntarily terminated; (d) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Therefore, on the basis of the above discussion, the Italian GAAP recognition in the consolidated statement of operations of the one-time
termination benefits related to the employees to be terminated involuntarily differs from US GAAP, due primarily for the need under US GAAP for the plan to be communicated in sufficient detail to the terminated employees.

During 2013, following the new agreement signed with the Trade Unions in October 2014, under Italian GAAP the Company accrued 19,959 to the
provision for one-time termination benefits, in consideration of the estimated redundancy at that time. Also, during the year, the Company paid termination benefits of 1,364 to terminated employees and reached individual agreements with 372 workers,
for incentives of 10,610 to be paid in 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the total provision for one-time termination benefits according to Italian GAAP was 24,730. According to US GAAP, the Company: (i) reversed 7,987 out of the
consolidated statements of operations and 14,120 out of the equity, representing respectively the accrual and the total provision attributable to the remaining workers for which no individual agreements were reached (ii) reclassified the
accrual of the year of 19,959 made to the provision for one-time termination benefits that was classified under the line other income /(expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations prepared according to Italian GAAP to cost
of sales, included therefore as part of operating loss.

During 2014, the Company recognized incentives to 429 terminated employees for an
amount of 13,495. No additional accrual was posted according to Italian GAAP. Also, termination benefits for an amount of 844 were recognized to laid-off employees of the subsidiaries Natco and Impe, for which no provision had been accounted for in
previous years. According to US GAAP the Company: (i) recorded the additional cost of 2,885 incurred for the payment of incentives not provided for according to US GAAP (the US GAAP provision at December 31, 2013 was in fact
of 10,610) (ii) reversed out of the consolidated statement of operations the remaining provision recorded under Italian GAAP of 11,235, connected to the portion of workers for whom no notification/agreements were reached in 2014. The residual
difference of equity under US GAAP of 11,235 is therefore attributable to the workers that represented the remaining redundant workers as of December 31, 2014 and for which the criteria in ASC 420 have

not yet been met. In addition, according to US GAAP, the Company reclassified the cost of 844 incurred by the subsidiaries Natco and Impe for terminated employees during the year, that was
classified under the line other income/(expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, and for which no accrual had been posted in previous years.

During 2015, the Company has recognized incentives to 78 terminated employees for an amount of 4,502, reducing redundancy to 359 workers. In
addition, in consideration of the new incentive payment launched on July 28, 2015, according to Italian GAAP the Company has accrued 3,425 to the provision for one-time termination benefits. To date, 24 workers have already formalized the
acceptance of those incentives, with an estimated cost of 1,064. According to US GAAP the Company has: (i) reclassified the accrual for the year of 3,425 made to the provision for one time termination benefits that was classified under the
line other income /(expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations prepared according to Italian GAAP to cost of sales, included therefore as part of operating loss (ii) recorded the additional cost of 4,502 incurred for
the payment of incentives not provided for according to US GAAP (the US GAAP provision at December 31, 2014 was in fact of nil) (iii) reversed 2,361 out of the consolidated statements of operations (total accrual of 3,425 net of
the accrual for incentive payment agreements already signed, equal to 1,064) and 9,094 out of the equity, representing respectively the accrual and the total provision attributable to the remaining workers for which no individual agreements have
been reached. The residual difference of equity under US GAAP of 9,094 is therefore attributable to the workers that represented the remaining redundant workers as of December 31, 2015 and for which the criteria in ASC 420 have not yet
been met.

(g)In 2008 the Group decided to close one of the Brazilian manufacturing plants located in Pojuca and based on a
third-party independent appraisal recorded in the same year an impairment loss of 2,911; an additional impairment loss of 1,036 was recorded in 2011. No impairment loss emerged in 2012 and 2013. Under US GAAP, the impairment loss was measured
by the amount by which the carrying value exceeded its fair value less costs to sell of 388. The difference between Italian GAAP and US GAAP related to these costs to sell has been reported in the US GAAP reconciliation starting from 2008.

During 2014, negotiations started with a third party for the sale of the Pojuca plant. In particular, in July 2014 a rental agreement
with a sale promise clause was signed, followed by a sale/purchase agreement signed in the first months of 2015, in which the agreed sale price was higher than the carrying value of the plant as of December 31, 2014. For the reported
considerations, no additional impairment loss was recorded in 2014.

In 2015, following the above sale/purchase agreement, the Group
collected almost all the total agreed sale price. The remainder was collected in January 2016.

In consideration of the total collection
of the sale price, according to Italian GAAP, the Group has therefore decided to reverse a portion of the impairment loss recorded in previous years, for an amount of 801. According to US GAAP, considering the transfer of property in the
registers has not yet occurred, and given therefore that all the requirements set forth by US GAAP to recognize the operation as a sale have not yet been met, the Group has maintained the property among tangible assets, as already done
according to Italian GAAP, but, provided that US GAAP do not consent the reversal of a previously recorded impairment, has cancelled the impairment reversal booked according to Italian GAAP, in the amount of 801.

In addition, during 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company performed an impairment review of its fixed assets and non-current investments and
impairment losses of 0, 2,590 and 8,550 respectively were recorded. Under Italian GAAP, the impairment losses were classified under the line other income / (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Under US GAAP these impairment losses would be classified as cost of sales and would be included as operating loss.

(h)In 2013, the Group has capitalized advertising costs incurred for the advertising
campaign launched to promote the new Re-vive armchair totaling 1,224, and advisory costs related to the implementation of the new moving line production system in the Italian plants, totaling 609. Advertising costs, according to Italian
GAAP, are capitalizable if they are connected to the necessary commercial phase of launch of a new and innovative product and they are functional and essential to the success of the related project. In accordance with Italian GAAP,
advertising costs have been amortized over a five year period.

Under US GAAP (ASC 340-20), advertising costs are usually expensed as
incurred, except for some direct-response advertising costs, which are to be reported as an asset and amortized over the future benefit period. For costs to qualify as direct-response advertising, a direct link between specific sales to
customers and specific advertising expenditures has to be demonstrated, so that it is reasonable to conclude that the advertising will result in probable future benefits.

The advertising campaign launched by the Company to introduce the new Re-vive armchair has not been qualified as direct-response
advertising, since the promotional activities performed did not have the aim to reach targeted consumers and the effect of this campaign in terms of direct responses from selected customers cannot therefore be measured and/or easily verifiable.
Accordingly, under US GAAP, these costs have been expensed.

Advisory costs related to the implementation of the new moving
line production system are classifiable, according to Italian GAAP, to research and development costs, which capitalization is permitted provided that: (i) the product or process is clearly defined and costs are separately identified and
measured reliably (ii) the technical feasibility of the product and/or process can be demonstrated, and the Company owns or can obtain the financial resources needed to realize the product/process (iii) revenues that are forecasted to be
realized from the intended product/process are sufficient at least to recover the incurred costs, after deducting production costs, selling expenses and any additional development costs.

According to US GAAP, these advisory costs can be considered as start-up costs. ASC 720-15 defines start-up costs as one-time activities
related to any of the following: a) opening a new facility; b) introducing a new product or service; c) conducting business in a new territory; d) conducting business with an entirely new class of customers (for example, a manufacturer who does all
of its business with retailers attempts to sell merchandise directly to the public) or beneficiary; e) initiating a new process in an existing facility; f) commencing some new operation. ASC 720-15 requires the costs of start-up activities to be
expensed as incurred, therefore advisory costs related to the implementation of the new moving line production system have been expenses for US GAAP purposes.

As of December 31, 2013, therefore, under US GAAP, a total write-off of 1,833 was recorded with reference to the above advertisement
and advisory costs, whereas in 2014 and 2015 the depreciation amount of 376 recorded under ITA GAAP has been reversed for US GAAP purposes. According to US GAAP, the differences of 376, 376 and 1,833 for years 2015, 2014 and 2013
respectively have been classified as cost of sales. No additional advertisement and advisory costs eligible for capitalization under Italian GAAP were capitalized in 2014 and 2015 in the consolidated financial statements prepared according to
Italian GAAP.

(i)During 2010, the Company formally decided to sell its Pojuca manufacturing plant, which had been closed in 2008
(see note 31(g)), with a Board of Directors resolution. The plant was classified as property, plant and equipment since not all criteria to record it as held for sale had been met. According to Italian GAAP, from 2011 depreciation on this
plant has been suspended, and the plant has been stated at the lower between the cost, net of cumulated depreciation, and the fair value, determined through third-party independent appraisals.

According to US GAAP, considering that the sale was not foreseeable in near term, and there is no evidence that the sale process has been
started, depreciation has not been interrupted. Therefore, under US GAAP, the depreciation has been maintained

using the currency historical exchange rates of the assets, as required by ASC 830-20. Considering the impairment loss posted in 2011, and the different foreign currency translation process of
the 2012 financial statements, the cumulated depreciation costs did not impact the net result and net equity in the previous years.

As of
December 31, 2013, the recalculation of the depreciation process for the Brazilian plant not in use resulted in a depreciation impact of 1,643, net of the accumulated impairment losses, which impacted the net equity and net result, classified
as part of operating loss in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Pojuca plant, according to US GAAP, net of the 2008 and 2011 impairment loss, was 1.4 million.

During 2014, negotiations started with a third party for the sale of the Pojuca plant. In particular, in July 2014 a rental agreement with a
sale promise clause was signed, followed by a preliminary sale/purchase agreement signed in the first months of 2015, in which the agreed sale price is higher than the carrying value of the plant as of December 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2014, in consideration of the above preliminary sale/purchase agreement, and considering the sale was highly probable
in the short term, depreciation was stopped also according to US GAAP and no additional impairment was recorded. As a consequence, the carrying value of the Pojuca plant, according to US GAAP, net of the 2008 and 2011 impairment loss,
remained 1.4 million.

As of December 31, 2015, following the sale/purchase agreement signed and the almost total collection of the
sale price, the Company has confirmed the suspension of the depreciation process, therefore the carrying value of the plant according to US GAAP remains 1.4 million.

In addition, during 2014, following the adoption of the new Italian accounting principles, effective for financial statements closed at
December 31, 2014, the Company had to calculate the accumulated depreciation on assets temporary not in use (i.e. some of the Italian plants), for which depreciation had been suspended in previous years under Italian GAAP only. The amount of
the cumulated depreciation is 694, of which 140 related to the depreciation charge for 2014. According to US GAAP, the Company has reclassified the depreciation charge for 2014, that was classified under the line other income / (expense),
net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 to cost of sales.

(j)Under
Italian GAAP certain costs paid to resellers are reflected as part of selling expenses. Under US GAAP, in accordance with ASC No. 605-50 (Revenue Recognition  Customer Payments and Incentive) (Formerly EITF 01-09), these costs should
be recorded as a reduction of net sales. Such expenses include advertising contributions paid to resellers which amounted at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 to 3,121, 2,827 and 2,165, respectively.

(k)During 2013 the Company under Italian GAAP has recognized the write-off of tangible assets of 359, as part of non-operating loss
under the line other income /(expense), net. Under US GAAP such write-off charge has been classified as part of operating loss.

(l)Under Italian GAAP, the Company includes its warranty cost as a component of selling expenses in the consolidated statement of
operations. Under US GAAP, warranty costs would be included as a component of cost of sales. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 warranty cost amounting to 7,086, 6,023, and 6,414, respectively, would be reclassified from
selling expenses to cost of sales under US GAAP.

(m)Under Italian GAAP the Company records a tax contingent liability (income tax
exposure) when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

(n)Under Italian GAAP the Company has derecognized the receivables connected to the
non-recourse securitization agreement signed in July 2015, provided that the conditions set forth by Italian GAAP to derecognize those assets were satisfied. In particular, the contract provides the sale, on a revolving basis, of a maximum amount of
Euro 35 million performing receivables. Following the agreement, the Company acts as a sub-servicer, performing the collection of the sold receivables on behalf of the transferee. The financial charge of the operation amounts to 0.7 million.
From a cash flow perspective, the caption receivables, net in cash flow from operating activities includes a cash in of 26.5 million.

According to US GAAP, considering the requirements to account for the operation as non-recourse were not totally met, the
Company has not considered the transfer as a sale, and therefore has not derecognized the underlying assets from the condensed consolidated balance sheet included in Note 31. In particular, in the remote event of a bankruptcy or other receivership
procedures to which the Company could be subject to, those assets could be clawed back and are not therefore totally beyond the reach of a bankruptcy trustee or other receiver. As a consequence, according to US GAAP, the Company has increased
current assets and current liabilities of the condensed balance sheet by the amount of the derecognized receivables, equal to 26.5 million.

(o) The Company adopted the provisions of ASC No. 740-10, Income Taxes Overall, on January 1, 2007. ASC ecuritiz40 clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition of tax benefits and liabilities on uncertain tax position taken or expected to
be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides related guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007, the Company did not
recognize any increase or decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, in respect of the Italian GAAP.

There are no
differences between the amounts recognized by the Company under ASC 740 and the amounts recognized under Italian GAAP.

The following
table provides the movements in the liability for uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

The Company recognized interest and penalties, accrued in relation to the uncertainties in income taxes
disclosed above, in other income (expense), net. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized approximately (14), 34 and 51 in interest and penalties, respectively. The total provision for the payment of
interest and penalties as at December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to approximately 474 and 488, respectively (net of foreign currency exchange rate profit of the period and release of liabilities due to the expiration of the tax audit terms).

Under Italian GAAP the Company includes the provisions for income tax contingent liabilities
under the line other liabilities of the non current part of the balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 the above provisions for income tax contingent liabilities amount to 753 and 896, respectively.

The Company operates in many foreign jurisdictions. With no material exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax
authorities for years prior to 2009.

According to Italian GAAP the Company has accrued a provision of 1,000 for the withholding tax due
to undistributed earnings as the likelihood of distribution is more likely than not in the near term.

Under US GAAP the provision
for the withholding tax has been accrued for all the unremitted earnings of subsidiaries for which a withholding tax is applicable in case of a dividend distribution. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the provision amounted to 7,909 and 7,252.

(p)The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 prepared by the Company
under Italian GAAP is in conformity with US GAAP ASC No. 230, Statement of Cash Flow(Formerly FASB Statement No. 95), except for the securitization item disclosed in note n). In particular, according to US GAAP, cash flow
from operating activities and cash flow from financing activities according to US GAAP are respectively lower and higher by 26.5 million.

Comprehensive Income  Comprehensive income/(loss) generally encompasses all changes in shareholders equity (except those
arising from transactions with owners). The Companys comprehensive income (loss) under U.S. GAAP does not differ from its U.S. GAAP net income (loss) indicated in Note 31.

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements  Recently issued but not yet adopted U.S. Accounting pronouncements relevant for the
Company are as follows:

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15: Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern
(Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard provides guidance around managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an
entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption
is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Groups financial statements.

In May
2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from contract with customers. The main objective in developing this update is to provide guidance and conformity with respect to the fact that previous revenue recognition requirements in
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) differ from those in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and both sets of requirements were in need of improvement. Previous revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP comprised
broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The core principle of the new standard is that a company
should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the
Effective Date, which deferred the effective date established in ASU 2014-09. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

(Expressed in thousands of euros except as otherwise indicated)



On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08  Revenue from contracts with
customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.

In
May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update clarify the guidance on assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed
contracts and contract modifications at transition.

The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full
retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial
application. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the appropriate transition method and the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On August 18, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15  Interest  Imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30). This Accounting
Standards Update adds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting about the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit
arrangements which were announced at ASU 2015-03. The Company has chosen not to early adopt this ASU 2015-03 and will disclose that we do not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17  Simplify Balance Sheet Classification of
Deferred Taxes. Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are
classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified
according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this Update require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a
classified statement of financial position. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in
fiscal year 2016 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

On January 5, 2016 the
FASB issued ASU 2016  01 Financial Instruments  Overall  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this Update require all equity investments to be measured at fair
value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this Update also require an entity to
present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in
accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public
business entities and the requirement for to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public
business entities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material
impact on the Companys financial statements.

On February 25, 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016  02  Leases, Topic 842. The
amendments in this Update are to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has chosen not to early adopt this standard. The adoption of this standard, although it will
increase reported assets and liabilities, is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

32. Subsequent events

On February 9, 2016 Invitalia, l Agenzia nazionale per lattrazione degli investimenti e lo sviluppo
dimpresa S.p.A., with note No. 2280/ININN-GRINV, with regard to the Natuzzi Development Contract CDS000490 communicated the conclusion of the access phase with regard to the application presented in relation to the
long-term investment project of Natuzzi S.P.A. of a value of Euro 49 million, against which public support of up to a maximum of Euro 37 million is expected, communicating that the company meets the formal access requirements as per
Article 9, paragraph 2 of Ministerial Decree of December 9, 2014.
