We were informed by Red & Black Lux S.à r.l. that the company intends to
place up to 4.9 million shares of HUGO BOSS AG in an accelerated
bookbuilding process. This represents 7% of the total share capital.
According to information acquired the bookbuilding has already started.

As a result of the placement, the free float of HUGO BOSS AG will increase
to around 66% of the share capital. The Group expects the higher free float
to further improve the attractiveness of the share among institutional
investors and to increase the weighting in the MDAX.

Limited, owned to date 39% of HUGO BOSS AG's share capital, based on the
Company's share register. It is the Group's single largest investor.
