(e)            On May 24, 2023, the stockholders of Fossil Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Fossil Group, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The Board of Directors of the Company had previously approved the 2023 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The material terms of the 2023 Plan are summarized in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), which description is incorporated by reference herein. This description of the 2023 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the 2023 Plan, a complete copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As described in the Proxy Statement and as approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company amended Article VI of its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to update the exculpation provisions contained therein (the “Charter Amendment”). The Charter Amendment became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 25, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Charter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Charter Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company held the Annual Meeting on May 24, 2023 to (i) elect eight directors to the Board to serve for a term of one year or until their respective successors are elected and qualified (“Proposal 1”), (ii) hold an advisory vote on executive compensation (“Proposal 2”), (iii) hold an advisory vote on whether an advisory vote on executive compensation should be held every one, two or three years (“Proposal 3”), (iv) vote on a proposal to approve the Fossil Group, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Proposal 4”), (v) vote on a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to permit exculpation of officers (“Proposal 5”) and (vi) ratify the appointment of Deloitte and Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2023 (“Proposal 6”). For more information about the foregoing proposals, see the Proxy Statement.

The table below shows the final results of the voting at the Annual Meeting:

Based on the results of the advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold its advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation.
