    </p>
    <p>
      SANTERAMO IN COLLE, Bari, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2016--Natuzzi
      S.p.A. announced the launch today of a new structure in support of the
      Group&#8217;s growth strategy which on the one hand seeks to consolidate and
      boost the Natuzzi brand positioning globally, and on the other drive the
      growth of Softaly, the Group&#8217;s dedicated private label business division.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Nazzario Pozzi </b>has been named the new Chief Officer of the
      Natuzzi business unit. Before joining the Natuzzi Group, Nazzario Pozzi
      developed extensive general management experience and led brand, growth
      strategy and retail businesses at international level at brands such as
      HUGO BOSS, Salvatore Ferragamo, DIESEL<b>,</b> Baccarat and DARTY.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Gianni Tucci</b>, is assuming the role of new Chief Officer of the
      Softaly business unit. Previously, Tucci was EMEA Sales Director for the
      Natuzzi Group, having developed many years of experience in
      merchandising and sales within the &#8220;Key account&#8221; channel and with
      companies such as Renault, Nicoletti and LAM Kitchen.
    </p>
    <p>
      Both directors will report to the Chief Executive Officer of the company.
    </p>
    <p>
      At the Board&#8217;s meeting, <b>Pasquale Natuzzi</b> - Natuzzi Chairman
      and Chief Executive Officer outlined the reasoning behind the new
      structure and the creation of the two divisions: <i>&#8220;71% of our core
      business is generated by Natuzzi as an extremely well known brand with
      an extensive retail presence. The core objectives of the new Natuzzi
      division are to launch the new retail business model, focused on
      boosting growth through an extended and re-balanced product offer, a
      wider consumer</i> <i>target and a new high traffic retail format. The</i>
      Softaly<i> division will however support the growth of the B2B channel,
      leveraging on the product and production process knowhow and global
      industrial platform of the Natuzzi Group, which enjoys strong relations
      with the major international distribution groups. We trust that Nazzario
      and Gianni are well prepared to successfully tackle this new challenge
      which will require the support of the entire management team&#8221;.</i>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Group further strengthened its managerial team, hiring new senior
      managers with extensive international brand management, merchandising,
      retail development and retail management experience to develop Natuzzi
      internationally:
    </p>
    <p>
      Three in Italy for the management of Operations, the development of the
      network and for merchandising, three in the USA, a keymarket for growth
      (one with retail operations responsibilities and two regional managers
      for the east coast and west coast), and finally a Mediterranean Europe
      commercial manager to support the development of the Natuzzi brand in
      the area.
    </p>
    <p>
      Finally, management also informed the Board of Directors that it has
      started a redundancy procedure for 355 laid-off workers, (including 25
      workers who resigned voluntarily), due to the conclusion of the
      temporary layoff program, scheduled for October 15, 2016 and no longer
      extendable by law.
