      Announces Unfavorable Court Ruling and Possible Need for Special Charge</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      SANTERAMO IN COLLE, Bari, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2017--Natuzzi
      S.p.A. (NYSE:NTZ) (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announces that, with reference to the
      legal proceedings described in Note 21 included in Item 18 of the
      Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with Securities and Exchange
      Commission on May 1, 2017, the Italian Supreme Court recently rejected
      the Company&#8217;s appeal of a lawsuit brought by two former employees and
      ruled in favor of the plaintiffs (Decision No. 10844/17). The matter
      concerns the implementation of the <i>Cassa Integrazione Guadagni
      Straordinaria</i>, as provided for and subsidized by Italian Law and the
      Italian Government.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company has been and will continue to evaluate the impact of the
      decision on the Company&#8217;s business organization and financial
      statements. As a consequence of the decision, the existing reserve for &#8220;<i>Provision
      for tax and legal proceedings</i>&#8221; included in the &#8220;<i>Other
      liabilities</i>&#8221; caption will be materially increased in the first
      quarter of 2017. While, at this time, it is not possible to determine
      the ultimate exposure that this may cause the Company, the board of
      directors will continue to analyze the Company&#8217;s strategies and evaluate
      the legal implications of this decision, and it will apply adjustments
      to the provision in the Company&#8217;s forthcoming financial closing periods
      as needed.
