Prior to such conversion, each share of Movado Class A Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Issuer. Each share of Movado Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share.

(a)(b)  The information set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover page hereto for each Reporting Person is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.

Mr. E. Grinberg:
Of the shares reported as beneficially owned by Mr. E. Grinberg (representing 25.6% of the outstanding shares of Movado Common Stock): 158,000 are shares of Movado Common Stock which Mr. E. Grinberg has the right to acquire by the exercise of options under the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan; 6,425 are shares of Movado Common Stock held by a remainder trust for the benefit of Mr. E. Grinberg (“Remainder Trust), for which trust Mr. E.
