Reference is made to the Offer Prospectus published today for full offer
restrictions and an overview of certain key differences with U.S. tender
offer procedures and laws.

Notice to U.S. Holders

Shareholders of the Company in the United States (the "U.S.") are advised
that the registered shares of Lalique Group SA ("Lalique Shares") are not
listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that the Company is not subject to
the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not,
file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") thereunder.

The Offer is being made for the registered shares of the Company, a Swiss
company whose shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd. ("SIX"), and
is subject to Swiss disclosure and procedural requirements, which are
different from those of the United States.

The Offer is being made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of,
and Regulation 14E under, the Exchange Act, subject to the exemption
provided under Rule 14d-1(c) under the Exchange Act for a tier I tender
offer (the "Tier I Exemption"), and otherwise in accordance with the
requirements of Swiss law. Accordingly, the Offer is subject to disclosure
and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal
rights, Offer timetable, settlement procedures, waiver of conditions, timing
of payments and procedural requirements that are different from those
applicable under U.S. tender offer procedures and laws. Holders of Lalique
Shares resident in the United States (each a "U.S. Holder") are urged to
consult with their own legal, financial and tax advisors (including with
respect to Swiss law) regarding the Offer.

To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, the Offeror
and its affiliates or its brokers and its brokers' affiliates (acting as
agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to
time after the date of this Offer Prospectus and during the pendency of the
Offer, and other than pursuant to the Offer, directly or indirectly purchase
or arrange to purchase Lalique Shares or any securities that are convertible
into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Lalique Shares. These purchases
may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private
transactions at negotiated prices. To the extent information about such
purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Switzerland, such
information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means
reasonably calculated to inform U.S. Holders of the Company of such
information. In addition, the financial advisers to the Offeror may also
engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company,
which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities. To
the extent required in Switzerland, any information about such purchases
will be made public in Switzerland in the manner required by Swiss law.

In particular, the financial information, any financial statements or
figures included or referenced in this Offer Prospectus have been prepared
in accordance with the applicable accounting standards of, or recognized in,
Switzerland, which may not be comparable to the financial statements or
financial information of U.S. companies. The Offer is being made to U.S.
Holders on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other
shareholders of the Company to whom an offer is made. Any informational
documents, including this Offer Prospectus, are being disseminated to U.S.
Holders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided
to the Company's other shareholders.

As permitted under the Tier I Exemption, the settlement of the Offer is be
based on the applicable Swiss law provisions, which differ from the
settlement procedures customary in the United States, particularly as
regards to the time when payment of the consideration is rendered. The
Offer, which is subject to Swiss law, is being made to U.S. Holders in
accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws, and applicable
exemptions thereunder, in particular the Tier I Exemption. To the extent the
Offer is subject to U.S. securities laws, those laws only apply to U.S.
Holders of Lalique Shares and will not give rise to claims on the part of
any other person. U.S. Holders should consider that the Offer Price for the
Offer is being paid in CHF and that no adjustment will be made based on
changes in the exchange rate.

It may be difficult for the Company's shareholders to enforce their rights
and any claim they may have arising under the of U.S. federal securities
laws, since the Offeror and the Company are located in a non-U.S.
jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be
residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. Company shareholders may not be able
to sue the Offeror or the Company or their officers or directors in a
non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may
be difficult to compel the Offeror and the Company and their respective
affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

The receipt of cash pursuant to this Offer by a U.S. Holder may be a taxable
transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S.
state and local laws, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each holder of
Lalique Shares is urged to consult his or her independent professional
advisor immediately regarding the tax consequences of an acceptance of the
Offer.

Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any State of the U.S. has
(i) approved or disapproved of the Offer; (ii) passed upon the merits or
fairness of the Offer; or (iii) passed upon the adequacy, accuracy or
completeness of the disclosure in relation to the Offer. Any representation
to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
