value NLG 2.23 per share (the "Common Shares") of Gucci Group N.V., a naamloze
vennootschap organized under the laws of The Netherlands (the "Company").
Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 8 without definition shall have the

            As a result of these open market purchases and when combined with
