amended, among the parties listed on Exhibit A attached hereto. The stockholders who are parties to the Stockholders’
Agreement have agreed to vote in favor of the election of Leonard A. Lauder (or one of his sons) and Ronald S. Lauder (or one of
his daughters) and one designee of each as directors of the Issuer. The Stockholders’ Agreement also contains certain limitations
on the transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock. Each stockholder who is a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement has
agreed to grant to the other parties a right of first offer to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the stockholder in
the event the stockholder intends to sell to a person (or group of persons) who is not a Lauder Family Member, as defined therein,
except in certain circumstances, such as sales in a widely distributed underwritten public offering or sales made in compliance with
Rule 144. To the Reporting Person’s knowledge, the aggregate number of shares subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement
represents approximately 84% of the voting power of the Issuer. |
