   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE

   Channel and Distribution Decisions Carried the Period, Not New Price Points

   This slide summarizes the two-week period's headline finding that channel and distribution decisions, not new price points, carried the sector.

   Five of the seven covered names rose over the window, with a median move of +1.9% against the S&P 500's +0.8%. Fossil Group (FOSL) set the pace at the top of the range, up +21.1%, including a single-day move of +9.4% on Sep 22. Signet Jewelers (SIG) renewed its long-term credit card program and Tapestry (TPR) opened a new buying surface for Coach and Kate Spade — both distribution decisions rather than merchandising ones. So what: the group's gains this period trace to how brands reach and finance their customers, not to new pricing.

Luxury Goods and Jewelry Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 2 1 5 of 7 Covered Names Rose; The Median Move Was +1.9% The group's median move of +1.9% ran ahead of the S&P 500 at +0.8% over the two-week period. Direction was broad rather than driven by one name. 2 Fossil Group Set the Pace at the Top of the Range Fossil Group, Inc. (FOSL), a Core-tier name under the standing study's lens, rose +21.1% over the window, with its largest single day at +9.4% on Sep 22. 3 Two Houses Acted on How Their Product Reaches the Client Signet Jewelers Limited (SIG) renewed its long-term credit card program agreement, and Tapestry, Inc. (TPR) opened a new buying surface for Coach and Kate Spade inside Google Search and the Gemini app. Both are distribution and price-architecture decisions, not merchandising ones. 4 The Precedent Record Still Sits Well Above Where the Group Trades The trailing record of 27 transactions carries a median 17.2x EV/EBITDA, against the standing study's CY2027E sector median of 9.0x. NeuraCap's read: the gap is about which earnings base a buyer underwrites, not about appetite alone. +21.1% Best mover — Fossil Group, Inc. (FOSL) worst: PLBY -10.4% · 5 up / 2 down of 7 covered +1.9% Sector median two-week return vs S&P 500 +0.8% 1 Transaction agreed in the two-week period from company announcements; not yet in the precedent record 1 Company filings in the window 8-K events read for driver attribution

   PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS

   The Period's Two Largest Moves Arrived Without a Clear Catalyst

   This slide reviews the two largest bi-weekly price moves in the covered set and notes that neither carries a clearly recorded catalyst.

   Bi-weekly moves ran against a sector median of +1.9% and a materiality bar of 5.7% on a sector-relative basis. Fossil Group (FOSL) posted the largest move at +21.1%, with its biggest single day at +9.4% on Sep 22. We read these moves as recorded price action first, attributing drivers only where filings or headlines from the window support it. So what: size of move alone should not be read as confirmation of a new operating story.

(FOSL) +21.1% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The +21.1% gain sits far ahead of the period's median move of +1.9%. Accessible-luxury names can re-rate quickly on sentiment; the operating record has to catch up afterwards. UNEXPLAINED Playboy, Inc. (PLBY) -10.4% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The -10.4% return sits below the period's median move of +1.9%. Licensing-led models carry thin news flow, so price can travel further than the record explains. UNEXPLAINED

   MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS

   Three Houses Moved on Governance, Consumer Credit and a New Selling Surface

   This slide covers the period's three highest-impact company events: a governance matter, a consumer credit renewal and a new digital selling surface.

   Three houses moved on distinct fronts this period — governance, consumer credit and a new selling surface. Signet Jewelers (SIG) renewed its long-term credit card program agreement, and Tapestry (TPR) opened a new buying surface for Coach and Kate Spade inside Google Search and the Gemini app. Each event links back to its underlying filing or article, and our why-it-matters reads stay tied to that record. So what: the period's real news sits in how brands sell and finance purchases, not in new products.

New AI buying surfaces are a distribution decision, and price architecture has to be built into them.

   M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY

   Lanvin's Half-Year Filing Resets the Reference Point for a House Mid-Repositioning

   This slide covers Lanvin Group's half-year filing and situates it against the standing precedent-transaction record.

   Lanvin Group Holdings Limited (LANV) filed half-year results this period, resetting the reference point for a house still mid-repositioning rather than adding a new deal. The trailing precedent record stands at 27 recorded transactions with a median of 17.2x EV/LTM EBITDA, well above the sector's CY2027E trading median of 9.0x. We read that gap as a question of which earnings base a buyer underwrites, not a read on deal appetite alone. So what: the next agreed transaction, when it comes, will be judged against a demanding multiple bar.

Terms and multiples enter the precedent record once the filing is processed; the reference set alongside is unchanged. 27 Recorded precedent transactions the reference set buyers and sellers price against 17.2x Precedent median EV/LTM EBITDA LTM at announcement, where disclosed

   WHAT IT MEANS

   What the Two-Week Period Changes for Operators, Buyers and Advisors

   This slide translates the two-week period's evidence into implications for operators, acquirers and advisors.

   For owners and operators, the period's signal is that channel decisions are where value is being set, with covered names trading higher on distribution and payment moves. For acquirers, the period added a new earnings-base disclosure from Lanvin Group Holdings Limited (LANV) rather than a new transaction benchmark. For advisors, the concrete evidence — a renewed credit program at Signet Jewelers (SIG) and a new owned buying surface at Tapestry (TPR) — argues for leading conversations with control of distribution. So what: each audience has a specific, near-term action this period's evidence supports.

FOR ACQUIRERS One New Earnings Base, No New Price Point The period added a fresh half-year disclosure from Lanvin Group Holdings Limited (LANV) rather than a new transaction benchmark. FOR ADVISORS Lead with Control of Distribution The evidence in this window is concrete: a renewed long-term consumer credit program at Signet Jewelers Limited (SIG), a new owned buying surface at Tapestry, Inc.

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

   Sources, Methodology and Important Notice

   This slide explains how the bi-weekly update is built and what each type of statement in it rests on.

   Every figure in this update links back to the filing, press release or established news outlet it was taken from, with sources admitted in a fixed reliability order and video or social platforms excluded. Market moves are close-to-close through September 28, 2026, and driver attributions use calibrated language tied to recorded evidence rather than asserted causation. So what: readers can trace every number and every read in this deck back to its source before acting on it.

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Luxury Goods and Jewelry Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. 1 name below the floor was excluded from movers and statistics for this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260929T103528Z_455_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.
