Luxottica Group, S.p.A. (LUX)

The U.S.$1,500 Million Credit Facility and U.S.$500 Million Bridge Loan

To finance the Oakley acquisition, on October 12, 2007, we and our subsidiary U.S. Holdings entered into two credit facilities with a group of banks providing for certain term loans and a short-term bridge loan for an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$2.0 billion. The term loan facility is a five-year term loan of U.S.$1.5 billion, with options to extend the maturity on two occasions for one year each time. The Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners for the term loan are Citigroup N.A. (acting also as Documentation Agent), Intesa San Paolo S.p.A., The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking (acting through Bayerische Hypo—und Vereinsbank AG—Milan Branch) (acting also as Facility Agent). The term loan facility is divided into two facilities, Facility D and Facility E. Facility D consists of an amortizing term loan in an aggregate amount of U.S.$1.0 billion, made available to U.S. Holdings, and Facility E consists of a bullet term loan in an aggregate amount of U.S.$500 million, made available to the Company. Each facility has a five-year term, with options to extend the maturity on two occasions for one year each time. The term loan has a spread of between 20 and 40 basis points over LIBOR, depending on the Group’s ratio of net debt to EBITDA. Interest accrues on the term loan at LIBOR (as defined in the agreement) plus 0.40 percent (5.503 percent for Facility D and 5.458 percent for Facility E on December 31, 2007). The final maturity of the credit facility is October 12, 2012. This credit facility contains certain financial and operating covenants. We were in compliance with those covenants as of March 31, 2008. We had borrowed U.S.$1.5 billion under this credit facility as of December 31, 2007.

The short-term bridge loan facility is for an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$500 million. This facility is underwritten by Bank of America Securities Limited and UniCredit Market and Investment Banking (acting through Bayerische Hypo—und Vereinsbank AG—Milan Branch). Interest accrues on the short term bridge loan at LIBOR (as defined in the agreement) plus 0.15 percent (5.208 percent on December 31, 2007). The final maturity of the credit facility was eight months from the first utilization date.
