Ownership |
|
|
|
(a) As of December 31,
2023, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 56,208 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows: (i) 5,234 shares of Class A
Common Stock and 22,870 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common
Stock”), as custodian under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for the benefit of Danielle Lauder and (ii) 5,234
shares of Class A Common Stock and 22,870 shares of Class B Common Stock as custodian under the New York Uniform Transfers
to Minors Act for the benefit of Rachel Lauder.
(b) The responses of the
Reporting Person to Row (11) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G are incorporated herein by reference. Each share of Class B
Common Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock and is automatically converted into
one share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee, as that term is defined in the Issuer’s
Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Assuming conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person, the Reporting Person would beneficially own 56,208 shares of Class A Common Stock, which would constitute 0.02%
of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder
to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Issuer’s stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles
the holder to ten votes on each such matter, including the election of directors of the Issuer. Assuming no conversion of any of the outstanding
shares of Class B Common Stock, the 10,468 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 45,740 shares of Class B Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Reporting Person constitute 0.03% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer.
(c) The
responses of the Reporting Person to Rows (5) through (8) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G are incorporated herein
by reference. The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to (i) the 5,234 shares of Class A Common
Stock and the 22,870 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian for Danielle Lauder; and (ii) the
5,234 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 22,870 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian
for Rachel Lauder. |

Danielle Lauder, as the beneficiary of the 5,234 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 22,870 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian for her benefit under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Rachel Lauder, as the beneficiary of the 5,234 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 22,870 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as custodian for her benefit under the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. |

The Reporting Person is a party to a Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), dated November 22, 1995, as amended, among the parties listed on Exhibit A attached hereto. The stockholders who are parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement have agreed to vote in favor of the election of Leonard A. Lauder (or one of his sons) and Ronald S. Lauder (or one of his daughters) and one designee of each as directors of the Issuer. The Stockholders’ Agreement also contains certain limitations on the transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock. Each stockholder who is a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement has agreed to grant to the other parties a right of first offer to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the stockholder in the event the stockholder intends to sell to a person (or group of persons) who is not a Lauder Family Member, as defined therein, except in certain circumstances, such as sales in a widely distributed underwritten public offering or sales made in compliance with Rule 144. To the Reporting Person’s knowledge, the aggregate number of shares subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement represents approximately 84% of the voting power of the Issuer. |
