Coty Inc. Announces Early Results of its
Cash Tender Offer for a Portion of its Outstanding
5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026
Tender Offer Increased to $300 Million and Fully Subscribed

Tender Offer is a Continuation of Coty’s Deleveraging Agenda

NEW YORK (November 20, 2024) – Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (“Coty” or the “Company”) announced
today the early results of its previously announced tender offer to purchase for cash up to $300,000,000
aggregate principal amount (the “Notes Cap”) (reflecting a $50,000,000 increase from the previously
announced cap of $250,000,000) of its outstanding 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).
Such offer to purchase is referred to herein as the “Tender Offer.” The Tender Offer is being made
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 6, 2024 (the
“Offer to Purchase”). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and
conditions of the Tender Offer.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 20, 2024 (such date and time, the “Early Tender
Date”), according to information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for
the Tender Offer, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes listed in the table below has been validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer. Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Early Tender Date.

(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase by the Company.
(2) Does not include Accrued Interest (as defined below), which will also be payable as described below.
(3) Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).

The Tender Offer will continue to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 6, 2024, or any
other date and time to which the Company extends the Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be
extended, the “Expiration Date”), unless earlier terminated. The Company has elected not to exercise its
option to have an early settlement date for the Tender Offer at this time. Payment for the Notes that were
validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for
purchase will be made on a date promptly following the Expiration Date, which is currently anticipated to
be December 10, 2024, the second business day after the Expiration Date (such date, the “Final
Settlement Date”).

As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to
the Early Tender Date exceeded the Notes Cap, the Company will accept for purchase the Notes on a
prorated basis, and the Company will not accept for purchase any additional Notes tendered after the
Early Tender Date. The consideration (the “Total Consideration”) for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for
purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be $1,000.00 (excluding Accrued Interest). The Total
Consideration includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted
for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”).

All holders of Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on
such Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to such Notes to, but not including, the Final
Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”).

The Company intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and accepted Notes with available cash on
hand and other sources of liquidity.
