Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 31, 2018, Capri Holdings Limited (formerly named Michael Kors Holdings Limited, the “ Company ”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “ Acquisition ”) of Gianni Versace S.p.A. (“ Versace ”), through the acquisition, directly and indirectly, of all outstanding equity interests of Versace. The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2018 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), by and among the Company, certain members of the Versace family and certain affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P., and the related Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2018, by and among the Company and certain management members of Versace. The Acquisition includes the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of GIVI Holding S.p.A. (“ GIVI ”), which directly held approximately 80% of the outstanding equity interests of Versace. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company for the Acquisition was based on an enterprise value for Versace of €1.83 billion (or approximately US$2.12 billion on the date of announcement). As previously disclosed, the cash portion of the purchase price was funded by a combination of cash on hand, drawings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and bank term loans.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company changed its name from “Michael Kors Holdings Limited” to “Capri Holdings Limited,” effective as of December 31, 2018. Beginning on January 2, 2019, the Company will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “CPRI.”
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 25, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
To the extent required by Item 3.02 of Form 8-K, the disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.
As previously disclosed, concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition, Allegra Versace Beck, Donatella Versace and Santo Versace (collectively, the “ Versace Parties ”) reinvested (the “ Subscriptions ”) an aggregate of €150 million of the cash received for their interests in GIVI in exchange for 2,395,170 ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (“ Company Shares ”). In connection with the Subscriptions, each of the Versace Parties has agreed to customary standstill restrictions in respect of the Company for a period beginning on the Closing Date until the later of (1) the two year anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition and (2) the earlier of such time as (A) the Versace Parties collectively own less than one percent of the outstanding Company Shares for a period of one year and (B) the applicable Versace Party has ceased to own any Company Shares for a period of six months. The issuance of Company Shares in connection with the Subscriptions was made in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective December 31, 2018, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company amended and restated its Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “ Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles ”) to change the name of the Company from “Michael Kors Holdings Limited” to “Capri Holdings Limited.” The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, which is included as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.

SHARES

13.	No share in the Company may be issued until the consideration in respect thereof is fully paid, and when issued the share is for all purposes fully paid and non-assessable save that a share issued for a promissory note or other written obligation for payment of a debt may be issued subject to forfeiture in the manner prescribed in these Articles.

19

 	of an Ordinary Share, then the Company shall compulsorily redeem and cancel any such fraction of an Ordinary Share and pay to such member in cash in U.S. dollars an amount (computed to the nearest U.S. cent) equal to the fraction multiplied by the fair market value per Ordinary Share as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

FORFEITURE

32.	The written notice specifying a date for payment shall:	
 
 	(a)	name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of service of the notice on or before which payment required by the notice is to be made; and	
 
 	(b)	contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the notice the shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited.	
 
33.	Where a written notice has been issued and the requirements have not been complied with within the prescribed time, the Board of Directors may at any time before tender of payment forfeit and cancel the shares to which the notice relates.	
 
34.	The Company is under no obligation to refund any monies to the member whose shares have been forfeited and cancelled pursuant to these provisions. Upon forfeiture and cancellation of the shares the member is discharged from any further obligation to the Company with respect to the shares forfeited and cancelled.	
LIEN
 
35.	The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share issued for a promissory note or for any other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination thereof to the Company, and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share standing registered in the name of a member, whether singly or jointly with any other person or persons, for all the debts and liabilities of such member or his estate to the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any interest of any person other than such member, and whether the time for the payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such member or his estate and any other person, whether a member of the Company or not. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. The Board of Directors may at any time either generally, or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Regulation.	
 
22

36.	In the absence of express provisions regarding sale in the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property, the Company may sell, in such manner as the Board of Directors may by resolution of directors determine, any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of twenty one days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such payment, has been served on the holder for the time being of the share.	
 
37.	The net proceeds of the sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a lien shall be applied in or towards payment of discharge of the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination thereof in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the holder of the share immediately before such sale. For giving effect to any such sale the Board of Directors may authorise some person to transfer the share sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the share and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.	
TRANSFER OF SHARES
 
38.	Subject to any limitations in these Articles and the Memorandum, registered shares in the Company may be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee, but in the absence of such written instrument of transfer the Board of Directors may accept such evidence of a transfer of shares as they consider appropriate.	
 
39.	The Company shall not be required to treat a transferee of a registered share in the Company as a member until the transferee’s name has been entered in the register of members.	
 
40.	Subject to any limitations in these Articles and the Memorandum, the Company must on the application of the transferor or transferee of a registered share in the Company enter in the register of members the name of the transferee of the share, save that the registration of transfers may be suspended and the register of members closed at such times and for such periods as the Company may from time to time by resolution of directors determine, provided that such registration shall not be suspended nor the register of members closed for more than 60 days in any period of 12 months.	
 
23

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
 
41.	The executor or administrator of a deceased member, the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his share, but they shall not be entitled to exercise any rights as a member of the Company until they have proceeded as set forth in the next following three regulations.	
 
42.	The production to the Company of any document which is evidence of probate of the will, or letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation as executor, of a deceased member or of the appointment of a guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member may be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member is domiciled outside the British Virgin Islands if the document evidencing the grant of probate or letters of administration, confirmation as executor, appointment as guardian or trustee in bankruptcy is issued by a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. For the purpose of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the Board of Directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The Board of Directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy.	
 
43.	Any person becoming entitled by operation of Law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may be registered as a member upon such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the Board of Directors. An application by any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purposes be deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member and the Board of Directors shall treat it as such.	
 
44.	Any person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer.	
 
45.	What amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the circumstances of the case.	
REDUCTION OR INCREASE IN MAXIMUM AUTHORISED NUMBER OF SHARES
 
46.	Subject to any limitations in these Articles or the Memorandum, the Company may by a resolution of directors amend the Memorandum to increase or reduce its maximum authorised number of shares, and in connection therewith the Company may in respect of any unissued shares increase or reduce the number of such shares, increase or reduce the par value of any such shares or effect any combination of the foregoing.	
 
24

47.	The Company may by resolution of directors amend the Memorandum to:	
 
 	(a)	divide the shares, including issued shares, of a class or series into a larger number of shares of the same class or series; or	
 
 	(b)	combine the shares, including issued shares, of a class or series into a smaller number of shares of the same class or series,	
provided, however, that where shares are divided or combined under (a) or (b) of this Regulation, the aggregate par value, if any, of the new shares must be equal to the aggregate par value, if any, of the original shares.
MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF MEMBERS
 
48.	The Board of Directors may convene meetings of the members of the Company at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable; provided that at least one meeting of members must be held each year.

52.	A meeting of members may be called on short notice:	
 
 	(a)	if members holding not less than 90 percent of the total number of shares entitled to vote on all matters to be considered at the meeting, or 90 percent of the votes of each class or series of shares where members are entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with not less than a 90 percent majority of the remaining votes, have agreed to short notice of the meeting, or	
 
 	(b)	if all members holding shares entitled to vote on all or any matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting, and for this purpose presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver.	
 
25

53.	The inadvertent failure of the Board of Directors to give notice of a meeting to a member, or the fact that a member has not received a notice that has been properly given, shall not invalidate the meeting.	
 
54.	A member may be represented at a meeting of members by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the member.	
 
55.	The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote.	
 
56.	An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in substantially the following form or such other form as the Chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the member appointing the proxy:	
(Name of Company)
I/We                          being a member of the above Company with                          shares HEREBY APPOINT                         of                          or failing him                          of                          to be my/our proxy to vote for me/us at the meeting of members to be held on the                  day of                  and at any adjournment thereof.
(Any restrictions on voting to be inserted here.)
Signed this                  day of
...........................……
Member
A proxy need not be a member, and a member may appoint one or more than one person to act as his proxy. On a poll, votes may be given in person or by proxy, and a member entitled to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all of his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way. The appointment of a proxy does not prevent a member from attending and voting in person at the meeting or an adjournment or on a poll. The appointment of a proxy is (unless the contrary is stated in such proxy) valid for an adjournment of the meeting as well as for the meeting or meetings to which it relates and is valid for 12 months following the date of execution unless terminated earlier.
 
57.	The following shall apply in respect of joint ownership of shares:	
 
 	(a)	if two or more persons hold shares jointly, each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of members and may speak as a member;	
 
26

 	(b)	if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and	
 
 	(c)	if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one.	
 
58.	A member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.	
 
59.	A meeting of members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 percent of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote on resolutions of members to be considered at the meeting. If such a quorum be present, notwithstanding the fact that such quorum may be represented by only one person, then such person may resolve any matter, and a certificate signed by such person, accompanied where such person is a proxy by a copy of the proxy form, shall constitute a valid resolution of members.	
 
60.	If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the request of members, shall be dissolved; in any other case, it shall be adjourned to the next Business Day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other date, time and place as the Board of Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the shares or each class or series of shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum, but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved. Notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the date, time and place of such meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.	
 
61.	At every meeting of members, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside as Chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board of Directors or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting, the members present shall choose someone of their number to be the Chairman. If the members are unable to choose a Chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present in person or by prescribed form of proxy at the meeting shall preside as Chairman, failing which the oldest individual member or representative of a member present shall take the chair.	
 
62.	The Chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.	
 
27

63.	At any meeting of the members, the Chairman shall be responsible for deciding in such manner as he shall consider appropriate, whether any resolution has been carried or not, and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes thereof. If the Chairman shall have any doubt as to the outcome of any resolution put to the vote, he or she shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution, but if the Chairman shall fail to take a poll then any member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the Chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the Chairman shall thereupon cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting the result thereof shall be duly recorded in the minutes of that meeting by the Chairman.	
 
64.	Any person other than an individual shall be regarded as one member and, subject to the specific provisions hereinafter contained for the appointment of representatives of such persons, the right of any individual to speak for or represent such member shall be determined by the Law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the person is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the Board of Directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person, and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the Board of Directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any member.	
 
65.	Any person other than an individual which is a member of the Company may by resolution of its Board of Directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same power on behalf of the person which he represents as that person could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company.	
 
66.	The Chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within seven days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such person shall be disregarded.	
 
67.	Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of members of the Company and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of shares in the Company.	
 
68.	Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the rights of holders of any New Class of Shares with respect to resolutions of members holding New Shares, a resolution of members is valid only if approved at a duly convened and constituted meeting of members by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class, that were present at the meeting and were voted and not abstained, and no action may be taken by members except at a duly convened and constituted meeting of members, and no action may be taken by members by written consent, unless the action to be effected by written consent of the members and the taking of such action by such written consent have expressly been approved in advance by the Board of Directors.	
 
28

69.    (a)	A meeting of members for the election of directors and other business shall be held annually at such date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors from time to time.	
 
 	(b)	At an annual meeting of members, only business (other than business relating to the nomination or election of directors, which is governed by Regulation 70) that has been properly brought before the meeting of members in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Regulation 69 shall be conducted. To be properly brought before a meeting of members, such business must be brought before the meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or (ii) by a member who (a) was a member of record of the Company when the notice required by this Regulation 69 is delivered to the Secretary and at the time of the meeting, (b) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (c) complies with the notice and other provisions of this Regulation 69. Subject to Regulation 69(i), and except with respect to nominations or elections of directors, which are governed by Regulation 70, Regulation 69(b)(ii) is the exclusive means by which a member may bring business before a meeting of members.	
 
 	(c)	Subject to Regulation 69(i), at any annual meeting of members, all proposals of Member Business must be made by timely Notice of Business and must otherwise be a proper matter for member action. To be timely, the Notice of Business must be delivered personally or mailed to, and received at the principal executive office of the Company, addressed to the Secretary, by no earlier than 120 days and no later than 90 days before the first anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of members; provided, however, that if (i) the annual meeting of members is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of members, (ii) no annual meeting was held during the prior year or (iii) in the case of the Company’s first annual meeting of members as a company with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act, the notice by the member to be timely must be received (a) no earlier than 120 days before such annual meeting and (b) no later than the later of 90 days before such annual meeting and the tenth day after the day on which the notice of such annual meeting was made by mail or Public Disclosure. In no event shall an adjournment, postponement or deferral, or Public Disclosure of an adjournment, postponement or deferral, of a meeting of members commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of the Notice of Business.	
 
29

 	(d)	A Notice of Business must set forth:

78.	Notwithstanding Regulation 70 above and subject to the rights of the holders of any New Class of Shares then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorised number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

95.	A director shall be given not less than three days’ notice of meetings of the Board of Directors, but a meeting of the Board of Directors held without three days’ notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver on his part.	
 
96.	A director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a director, and an alternate is entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the director.

A meeting of the Board of Directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one half of the total number of directors, unless the total number of directors is two, in which case a quorum shall be two directors.	
 
98.	If the Company shall have only one director, the provisions herein contained for meetings of the Board of Directors shall not apply, but such sole director shall have full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or these Articles required to be exercised by the members of the Company and in lieu of minutes of a meeting shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a resolution of directors. Such a note or memorandum shall constitute sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

If there is no Chairman of the Board of Directors or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside. If there is no Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or if the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting, the directors present shall choose someone of their number to be Chairman of the meeting.

The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more directors.

105.	The meetings and proceedings of each committee of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of these Articles regulating the proceedings of the Board of Directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the resolution establishing the committee.

Any number of offices may be held by the same person.	
 
40

107.	The officers shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by resolution of directors or resolution of members, but in the absence of any specific allocation of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board of Directors to preside at meetings of the Board of Directors and members, the Vice Chairman to act in the absence of the Chairman, the President to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the Vice Presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the President but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the President, the Secretaries to maintain the register of members, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed on the Company by applicable Law, and the Treasurer to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company.	
 
108.	The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by resolution of directors.	
 
109.	The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, but any officer elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of directors.

CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
 
110.	No agreement or transaction between the Company and one or more of its directors or any person in which any director has a financial interest or to whom any director is related, including as a director of that other person, is void or voidable for this reason only or by reason only that the director is present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or at the meeting of the committee of the Board of Directors that approves the agreement or transaction or that the vote or consent of the director is counted for that purpose if the material facts of the interest of each director in the agreement or transaction and his interest in or relationship to any other party to the agreement or transaction are disclosed in good faith or are known by the other directors.	
 
111.	A director who has an interest in any particular business to be considered at a meeting of the Board of Directors or members may be counted for purposes of determining whether the meeting is duly constituted.	
INDEMNIFICATION
 
112.   (a)	To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, directors shall not be personally liable to the Company or any member for any acts or omissions in the performance of their duties as directors.	
 
 	(b)	The rights conferred on any person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any Law, provision of the Memorandum or these Articles, agreement, resolution of directors, resolution of members or otherwise.	
 
41

 	(c)	Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided, the Company shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:	
 
 	(i)	is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company; or	
 
 	(ii)	is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.	
 
 	(d)	If a person to be indemnified provides an undertaking to repay expense advances if it should be ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to these Articles, the Company shall pay any expenses, including legal fees, reasonably incurred by any such person in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings.	
 
113.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify a person only if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.	
 
114.	The decision of the Board of Directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of these Articles, unless a question of Law is involved.	
 
115.	The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.	
 
116.	If a person to be indemnified has been successful in defence of any proceedings referred to above, the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments and fines reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceedings.	
 
42

117.	The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in these Articles.	
SEAL
 
118.	The Company may have more than one Seal and references herein to the Seal shall be references to every Seal which shall have been duly adopted by resolution of directors. The Board of Directors shall provide for the safe custody of the Seal and for an imprint thereof to be kept at the registered office of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Seal when affixed to any written instrument shall be witnessed and attested to by the signature of a director or any other person so authorised from time to time by resolution of directors. Such authorisation may be before or after the seal is affixed, may be general or specific and may refer to any number of sealings. The Board of Directors may provide for a facsimile of the Seal and of the signature of any director or authorised person which may be reproduced by printing or other means on any instrument, and it shall have the same force and validity as if the Seal had been affixed to such instrument and the same had been signed as hereinbefore described.

John D. Idol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capri Holdings said, “With the acquisition of Versace, we have now created one of the leading global fashion luxury groups in the world. The new name for our group, Capri Holdings, is inspired by the fabled island which has long been recognized as an iconic, glamorous and luxury destination. The island’s spectacular three rock formation, formed over 200 million years ago, is symbolic of the timeless heritage and strong foundation that is at the core of each of the three founder-led brands.”
Mr. Idol continued, “Versace has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading fashion luxury houses, and is synonymous with Italian glamour and style. We are thrilled that the house of Versace is now part of the Capri Holdings family of luxury brands. We look forward to working with Chief Creative Officer Donatella Versace, Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Akeroyd, and their incredibly talented team to continue to drive Versace’s growth and success globally.”

 	o	Grow Jimmy Choo to US$1.0 billion in revenues	
 	o	Grow Michael Kors to US$5.0 billion in revenues
