(b) Jean-Marc Bellaiche, who holds the position of Senior Vice President - Strategy and Business Development, will be leaving Registrant’s organization effective March 31, 2018. Mr. Bellaiche joined Registrant in 2014 and has responsibility for business initiatives outside of jewelry (such as watches, leather goods, eyewear and fragrance).
Registrant does not anticipate filling the position occupied by Mr. Bellaiche. Rather, in the interest of further aligning Registrant’s non-jewelry categories with its core product category, the individuals responsible for such non-jewelry initiatives will report directly to other members of Registrant’s management. Following January 31, 2018, Mr. Bellaiche’s primary role will be to assist in transitioning his responsibilities to these individuals, and he will no longer have the duties and responsibilities of his current position.
