Notice of meeting

The Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA will be held at 10.00 am in the 'Salon St-Gervais', Mandarin Oriental Hôtel du Rhône, Quai Turrettini 1, 1201 Geneva on Thursday, 15 September 2005.

AGENDA

1. Business Report

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting, having taken note of the reports of the auditors, approve the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the financial statements of the Company and the directors' report for the business year ended 31 March 2005.

2. Appropriation of profits

At 31 March 2005, the retained earnings available for distribution amounted to SFr 490 971 920. The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of € 0.04 be paid per Richemont unit. This is equivalent to € 0.04 per 'A' bearer share in the Company and € 0.004 per 'B' registered share in the Company. In euro terms this represents a total dividend payable of € 22 968 000. The Swiss franc equivalent of this amount will be calculated using the euro/Swiss franc exchange rate prevailing at the date of the Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors proposes that the remaining available retained earnings of the Company at 31 March 2005 after payment of the dividend be carried forward to the following business year.
