<PAGE>

         This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
and Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule TO filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 1, 2004, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 2, 2004, Amendment No. 2 filed on
April 19, 2004, Amendment No. 3 filed on April 22, 2004, Amendment No. 4 filed
on April 23, 2004 and Amendment No. 5 filed on April 28, 2004 (as amended, the
"Schedule TO"), by Pinault-Printemps-Redoute S.A., a SOCIETE ANONYME with a
management board and supervisory board and organized under the laws of the
Republic of France ("PPR"). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by PPR to
purchase any and all outstanding Common Shares, nominal value (euro) 1.02 per
share (the "Shares"), of Gucci Group N.V. that are not beneficially owned by
PPR, at $85.52 per Share net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 1, 2004 (as
amended, the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal,
copies of which were filed previously with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)
and (a)(2), respectively.

         The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the
requirements of Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

ITEM 11.          ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

     (1)  Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by the
following:

          "The Offer expired, as scheduled, at 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
     3:00 p.m., Central European Time, on Thursday, April 29, 2004. A total of
     33,267,342 Shares were tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn,
     and an additional 1,364,670 Shares tendered by notice of guaranteed
     delivery and not withdrawn. All Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn
     before expiration of the offering period were accepted and payment will be
     made promptly. For all Shares represented by notices of guaranteed
     delivery, which were received prior to the expiration of the offering
     period, payment will be made promptly after the shares are delivered. After
     giving effect to the acquisition of these Shares tendered in the Offer, PPR
     beneficially owns approximately 99.23% of the outstanding Shares based on
     the aggregate of 102,998,294 Shares which Gucci has informed PPR are
     outstanding as of April 29, 2004 (excluding treasury shares).

          In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Offer, PPR is providing for
     a subsequent offering period, which started on April 29, 2004 and will
     expire at 9 a.m., New York City time, 3:00 p.m., Central European Time, on
     May 20, 2004, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Offer to
     Purchase. A copy of the press release, dated April 29, 2004, issued by PPR
     announcing expiration of the Offer and commencement of the subsequent
     offering period is filed as Exhibit (a)(33) to the Schedule TO. The press
     release is incorporated herein by reference."

     (2)  Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby further amended and supplemented
by the following:

          "PPR has received an order from the Italian securities regulator
     CONSOB, which assumes that the Offer is directed at Gucci shareholders
     resident in Italy and therefore seeks to suspend the Offer in Italy. As
     indicated in the Offer to Purchase, and as CONSOB has been informed, the
     Offer was never intended to be directed at Italian residents, and therefore
     no tenders made by Gucci shareholders resident in Italy will be processed,
     validated or settled. A copy of the press release, dated April 29, 2004,
     issued by PPR regarding the CONSOB order is filed as Exhibit
     (a)(34) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference."


ITEM 12.      EXHIBITS.

     Item 12 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following:


    "(a)(33)        Press release issued by PPR dated April 29, 2004
     (a)(34)        Press release issued by PPR dated April 29, 2004"

     PPR ANNOUNCES INITIAL RESULTS OF OFFER TO PURCHASE GUCCI PUBLIC SHARES

     O     PPR TO BENEFICIALLY OWN APPROXIMATELY 99.23% OF OUTSTANDING GUCCI
           SHARES FOLLOWING INITIAL PHASE OF OFFER

     O     FOR DUTCH PURPOSES, OFFER DECLARED UNCONDITIONAL

     O     PPR WILL PROVIDE FOR SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD



Pinault-Printemps-Redoute S.A. (Euronext Paris: PRTP:PA) announced today that it
had completed the initial offering period in connection with its offer to
purchase all of the outstanding common shares (the "Gucci Shares") of Gucci
Group N.V. ("Gucci") that are not already beneficially owned by PPR. In this
connection, for Dutch purposes (more specifically in accordance with article 9t
paragraph 4 of the Dutch Decree on the Supervision of the Securities Trade
1995), it has declared its offer unconditional. As stated in the tender offer
document of 1 April 2004, PPR will pay $ 85.52 in cash per Gucci Share validly
tendered and transferred. Payment will be made by PPR to the paying agents for
the offer on 30 April 2004.

On the expiration of the initial tender period, at 3.00 p.m. Central European
time (9 a.m. New York time) today, 33,267,342 Gucci Shares were tendered into
the offer and not withdrawn. In addition, 1,364,670 Gucci Shares were tendered
into the offer by notice of guaranteed delivery. Together with the Gucci Shares
already owned by PPR, this represents approximately 99.23% of the total number
of Gucci Shares outstanding. All Gucci Shares validly tendered (and delivered)
and not withdrawn before the expiration of the initial offering period have been
accepted and payment will be made promptly. For all Gucci Shares represented by
notices of guaranteed delivery, which were received prior to the expiration of
the initial offering period, payment will be made promptly after the Gucci
Shares are delivered.

PPR also announced today that pursuant to the terms of its offer, it will
provide for a subsequent offering period. Holders of Gucci Shares who did not
yet tender into the offer, are given the opportunity to tender their Gucci
Shares during this subsequent offering period which shall start today and shall
expire at 3 p.m. (Central European time), (9 a.m. New York time) on 20 May 2004
under the conditions set out in the tender offer document.

For holders of Gucci Shares traded on the Amsterdam stock exchange ("Gucci
Ordinary Shares") who have validly tendered their Gucci Ordinary Shares before
the expiration of the tender period and subsequently have transferred their
Gucci Ordinary Shares through their bank or stockbroker to ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
("ABN AMRO") before 12.00 a.m. Amsterdam time on 30 April 2004, payment, in
principle, will be made to their bank or stockbroker on that day. If the Gucci
Ordinary Shares have been validly tendered before the expiration of the

tender period but without having been transferred before 12.00 a.m. Amsterdam
time on 30 April 2004, the bank or stockbroker of such holders of Gucci Ordinary
Shares will, in principle, receive payment on the first business day after the
date on which the Gucci Ordinary Shares have been transferred through such bank
or stockbroker to ABN AMRO, provided that such transfer has been effected before
12.00 a.m. Central European time.

                                                           PARIS, APRIL 29, 2004


PPR RECEIVES SUSPENSION ORDER FROM CONSOB RELATING TO ITALY

Pinault-Printemps-Redoute S.A. (Euronext Paris: PRTP:PA) announced that it has
received an order from the Italian securities regulator CONSOB which assumes
that the offer PPR is making for all outstanding shares of Gucci is directed at
shareholders of Gucci resident in Italy and therefore seeks to suspend the offer
in Italy.

As indicated in its tender offer document, PPR states, and CONSOB has been so
informed, that its offer was never intended to be directed at Italian residents.
Therefore no tenders made by Gucci shareholders resident in Italy will be
processed, validated or settled. Representatives of PPR are discussing these
matters with CONSOB.
