SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS


Thursday, April 29	Approval of statutory financial statements for fiscal year 2009 [first call]
Friday, April 30	Approval of statutory financial statements for fiscal year 2009 [second call]

The Luxottica Group pursues the creation of shareholder value as exemplified by its history, to distribute a consistent portion of the Group's earnings in the form of dividends.

However, to further strengthen the Group's equity structure and to have sufficient resources to capitalize on new opportunities that may arise, the Board has deemed it appropriate not to propose to shareholders the payment of a dividend for fiscal year 2008. The Board decided to defer the matter to a possible shareholders' meeting to be called in the second half of 2009.

Any change to the above calendar will be broadly communicated.

19 May 2008	Ex dividend
22 May 2008	Dividend payment on ordinary shares
29 May 2008	Dividend payment on ADRs
