and Paris, France, November&nbsp;4, 2003: </font></b>Gucci Group N.V.
(Euronext Amsterdam: GCCI.AS; NYSE: GUC) and Pinault-Printemps-Redoute
(Euronext Paris: PRTP.PA) today announced that Domenico De Sole, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Gucci Group and Tom Ford, Creative Director of Gucci
Group and the Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent brands, have informed the
Supervisory Board of Gucci Group that they do not intend to extend their
contracts beyond their currently scheduled expiration date in 2004.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This decision follows several months of
negotiations in anticipation of the expiration of their contracts and
Pinault-Printemps-Redoute&#146;s previously announced tender offer for the
outstanding shares of Gucci Group at a price of $85.52 per share to be
completed in April&nbsp;2004. Intensive efforts by the parties did not result
in an agreement satisfactory to all concerned and, therefore, the parties
concluded that the completion of the tender offer and the expiration of the
executives&#146; employment agreements was the appropriate time for a change in
senior management.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Domenico De Sole and Tom Ford have confirmed
their commitment to remain in their positions until April, 30 2004 in order to
ensure the success of the coming collections and a smooth transition. The
independent members of the Supervisory Board have agreed to continue to serve
on the Board until that date. Gucci Group&#146;s Supervisory Board has established a
Committee chaired by Serge Weinberg, Chairman of the Management Board of Pinault-Printemps-Redoute,
and including Adrian Bellamy, Chairman of the Gucci Group Supervisory Board,
and Fran&#231;ois Henri Pinault, Chairman of Artemis, to select successors to
Messrs. De Sole and Ford.</font></p>

Supervisory Board and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to both Domenico and Tom&#148; </font></i>said Adrian
Bellamy. <i><font style="font-style:italic;">&#147;Naturally, we regret their
decision, but we understand their reasons. It takes insight, discipline and
exceptional talent to compete, excel and remain at the top in this business, as
is the case with Domenico and Tom. Domenico has managed the company with
precision always maintaining the correct balance of devotion to shareholders
and colleagues alike. Tom&#146;s exceptional creative talent and business acumen
have earned the respect of everyone in the industry. Theirs has been the
classic partnership in fashion: they will be sorely missed. On behalf of the
entire Supervisory Board, we wish them well.&#148; </font></i></p>

great loves of my life&#148; </font></i>said Domenico De Sole <i><font style="font-style:italic;">&#147;and my years with the Company have been an incredible journey. I would
like to thank Tom, whose creative genius has made it all possible, as well as
our extraordinary colleagues around the world. Thanks to their skill and
dedication, we have been able to convert the small and troubled company I
joined in 1984 into a world class luxury powerhouse, and in the process to
create significant wealth for all our stakeholders. We owe a special word of
thanks to Adrian Bellamy and the other members of the Supervisory Board, whose
wisdom and steadfast support have been critically important on many occasions.
I will continue until my departure to devote my energies to our Company, whose
prospects in our view have never been more promising. I am confident that our
successors will build on the strong foundations that we will be leaving to
them.&#148;</font></i></p>

life. I am confident that we are leaving behind one of the strongest teams in
the industry and I will do my best in my remaining time within the company to
ensure the future success of the Group. I could not be more proud of our work
at Gucci or more proud of the exceptional team of colleagues that have contributed
more than just their hard work; they have given their hearts in our quest for
excellence. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have shared the joy of
success with such an outstanding group of individuals. I would like to thank

agreement with Domenico De Sole and Tom Ford. They are great talents. In
tandem, they did a remarkable job to turn around the Gucci brand and make Gucci
Group a worldwide reference in the luxury goods universe. I wish to express my
warmest appreciation for the work they accomplished. They have put in place
excellent management and design teams. It is the strong intention of Pinault-
Printemps-Redoute to continue to develop the Gucci Group and preserve the
entrepreneurial and creative spirit that has made it great. I will see to it
that the managers and designers within Gucci Group enjoy a large degree of
autonomy, which we consider crucial to ensure the identity and creative
expression of each brand. With its world-class brands, solid businesses,
financial strength and talented individuals, Gucci Group, with PPR&#146;s support,
will thus have all the necessary elements to continue to pursue its development
and reinforce PPR&#146;s growth, profitability and international presence.&#148;</font></i></font></p>
