Exhibit 99.1
May 31, 2023 - MILAN - Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. (NYSE: ZGN) (“Zegna” or “Zegna Group”) in relation to the fluctuation of the stock, acknowledges the decision taken by the FTSE Russell as part of the annual Russell US 3000 index reconstitution that the ZGN stock will leave the Russell US 3000 Index. This decision is based on the application of mechanical criteria for index inclusion such as the weight of US non-current assets and is not related to the company’s performance.
The CEO and Chairman Gildo Zegna, some members of the board, and some managers of the group are purchasing shares on the market in a show of confidence in the Zegna Group’s strategic plan and its execution.
We look forward to updating you with our next scheduled announcement on July 27, 2023 in connection with the release of the Group’s 1H 2023 unaudited revenues.
