    As reported · 27 Sept 2026

Registered significant control

  • Mr Matteo Ghidoli [4]Has significant influence or controlAs reported · 30 Sept 2026
  • Mrs Francesca Magnani [4]Has significant influence or controlAs reported · 30 Sept 2026
  • Mr Paul Gregory Devin [4]Has significant influence or controlAs reported · 30 Sept 2026

L Catterton's April 2024 release announced a majority investment agreement, with the Percassi family retaining a significant interest. The group's transaction adviser subsequently identifies KIKO as an L Catterton portfolio company and Duomo Bidco as its holding company in December 2025. This corroborates the investment beyond the agreement, without refreshing the stake or establishing the full chain to Kiko UK Limited. The €540m bond issuance is debt, not the price or percentage of the equity investment. These are selected investor disclosures, not a complete beneficial-owner register. Retained registered control: Mr Matteo Ghidoli: Has significant influence or control (register checked 2026-09-30). Mrs Francesca Magnani: Has significant influence or control (register checked 2026-09-30). Mr Paul Gregory Devin: Has significant influence or control (register checked 2026-09-30). These are statutory control categories, not exact shareholdings. They must not be added to overlapping sponsor interests. [6][7][4]

Its tax charge, group-relief balances and a wider parent-group payment are not substituted for the missing company payment.
