a)Description of share-based compensation arrangements

In connection with the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. in January 2021, we adopted the 2020 Plan (MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan), under which we granted equity-based awards to selected key management members and supervisory board members on January 20, 2021. Selected key management members were granted an IPO-related award package. This package consists of the “Alignment Grant” and the “Restoration Grant”. Furthermore, restricted shares were granted to supervisory board members as part of the annual plan. Additionally, the Compensation Committee of the Supervisory Board proposes to the Supervisory Board annually about a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI). As of July 1, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the LTI was granted to certain key management members consisting of restricted share units (“RSUs”) with time and performance obligations and for the LTI granted on July 1, 2023, on July 1, 2024 and on July 1, 2025 certain stock options were granted to selected key management members under the new 2023 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan on the November 8, 2023 (the “2023 Plan”).

The 2023 Plan was amended in the Second Amended 2023 Plan to include, inter alia, an adjustment of the pool of reserved shares that may be amended and restated at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on March 6, 2025 (the “Second Amended 2023 Plan”). The changes implemented granted under the 2023 Plan, ratification of any and all grants made under the 2023 Plan from the date it became effective on November 8, 2023, and a further increase of the pool of reserved shares effective as of, and subject to the completion of the YNAP Acquisition.

LuxExperience Group established an Employee Share Purchase Plan, with the intent to encourage long-term relationship with the company and its employees. Pursuant to paragraphs 21(g) and 24 of IAS 33, as certain shares are fully vested and contingently issuable for no consideration, they are treated as outstanding and included in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.

i)IPO Related One-Time Award Package

Alignment Grant

Under 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan share-based payment program, options were granted to selected key management members. The options vest and become exercisable with respect to 25 % on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date (January 20, 2021). After vesting, each option grants the right to purchase one American Depositary Share (each, an “ADS”) at a predefined exercise price per share. The vested options can be exercised up to 10 years after the grant date. The granted options are divided into three different tranches which have varying exercise prices. Overall, 6,478,761 options were granted to 21 key management members. The amount recognized as share-based compensation expense under this program is based on a weighted average historical share price of 31 USD.

Restoration Grant

Under 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan share-based payment program, phantom shares were granted to selected key management members. Each phantom share represents the right of the grantee to receive one ADS in exchange for a phantom share. The granted phantom share vested immediately on the grant date and can be converted into an ADS at any time but are subject to transfer restrictions after conversion. Up to 25% of the granted phantom shares can be transferred after conversion at any time after the second anniversary of the grant date. The remaining 75% of the granted phantom shares can be transferred after conversion if certain conditions are met or at the fourth anniversary of the grant date at latest. The phantom shares can be converted into ADSs up to 10 years after the grant date. Overall, 1,875,677 phantom shares were granted to 21 key management members. The amount recognized as share-based compensation expense under this program is based on a weighted average historical share price of 31 USD.

Employee Share Purchase Program (ESPP)

On May 29, 2023, the Company commenced its first open enrollment period for its Employee Share Purchase Program (“ESPP”), which was approved by the shareholders on October 27, 2022, at the Company’s annual general meeting. The objective of the ESPP is to allow employees of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) to participate in the growth of the Company and to promote long-term corporate engagement by offering eligible employees the opportunity to acquire American Depositary Shares representing shares in the capital of the Company, at a discount, subject to the terms of the ESPP. The discount is fixed to one-fourth of the investment by the participant. The discount is implemented by increasing the number of shares with one-third (e.g. a participant receives four ADSs for the price of three ADSs.)

b)Measurement of fair values

Stock Options from Long-Term Incentive Plan

The fair value of the employee share options has been measured using the Black-Scholes formula. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share-based payment plans were as follows.
