Short history of our Group

Industria de Diseño Textil, S.A. (Inditex) is a quoted company at the head of a prestigious
group of firms whose main activity is fashion distribution on an international scale. The
Group comprises eight chain stores - Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull and Bear, Bershka,
Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home and Uterqüe - with a total of 4,278 shops in 73
countries. Most Inditex business takes place in Europe, where over 80% of sales are
transacted.
The Group also includes other companies linked to different activities related to textile
design, manufacture and distribution.

In order to segment its approach to the market, Inditex has eight fashion distribution
chains, all of which share a common commercial and management focus: to become
leaders in their segment with a flexible business model and a determination to be present
on the international market. On the other hand, each of the chains has a large degree of
business autonomy; each management team takes its commercial and resource
administration decisions independently from the other members of the Group.

Short history of our brand name

Massimo Dutti was founded in 1985 and was taken over by Inditex in 1991. Today the
company has over 512 shops in 47 countries.

The chain was originally set up to commercialise menswear but in 1992 a new team was
created to launch a complete collection of womenswear ranging from casual styles to the
urban, sophisticated look. Massimo Dutti has since grown into a major group, expanding
on both national and international levels and currently employing over 4,000 workers.

In 2003, Massimo Dutti Boys & Girls childrenswear line was launched and is now being
progressively introduced into different countries in shops with sufficient floor space for
this specific product.

From September 2006, Massimo Dutti has designed and commercialised the following
lines over its three different sections:

1. Womenswear: Women, Accessories, Soft, Fragrances, Eyewear


2. Menswear: Men, Accessories, Soft, Personal Tailoring, Fragrances, Eyewear
3. Childrenswear: Boys & Girls
4. Baby
