      Company Notified the NYSE that It Intends to Regain Compliance within
      the Prescribed Timeframe</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      SANTERAMO IN COLLE, Bari, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 28,
      2018--Natuzzi S.p.A<b>. </b>(NYSE:NTZ) (&#8220;Natuzzi&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;)
      announced today that on December 26, 2018 it received notice from the
      New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the &#8220;NYSE&#8220;) that the Company is no longer
      in compliance with one of the NYSE&#8217;s continued listing standards for a
      listed company, particularly, the average closing price of the Company&#8217;s
      American Depositary Receipts (&#8220;ADSs&#8221;) was less than US$1.00 over a
      consecutive 30-trading day-period. NYSE notified the Company that it
      would be delisted if it is not able to comply with the NYSE continued
      listing standards within the applicable six-month cure period. The
      issuance of the notification is not discretionary and is sent
      automatically when a listed company&#8217;s share price falls below the NYSE&#8217;s
      minimum price listing standard.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company has a six&#8211;month cure period, which expires on June 26, 2019,
      to cure the deficiency and can regain compliance at any time during this
      six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month
      during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least
      US$1.00 and an average closing share price of at least US$1.00 over the
      30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. In
      the event that, at the expiration of the six-month cure period, both a
      US$1.00 closing share price on the last trading day of the cure period
      and a US$1.00 average closing share price over the 30 trading-day period
      ending on the last trading day of the cure period are not attained, the
      NYSE will commence suspension and delisting procedures.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company notified the NYSE on December 27, 2018 that it intends to
      cure this deficiency within the prescribed timeframe. Until then, the
      Company&#8217;s shares will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE,
      subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards. The
      Company is currently in compliance with all other NYSE continued listing
      standards.
