INFORMATION REGLEMENTEE

COTY INC. PROPOSES TO OFFER SENIOR NOTES

NEW YORK—October 2, 2025—Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) (“Coty”) today
announced that it, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HFC Prestige Products, Inc. and
HFC Prestige International U.S. LLC (collectively, the “Co-Issuers” and, together with Coty, the
“Issuers”), launched a private offering of senior notes (the “Notes”), subject to market and
customary conditions. The principal amount, interest rate and other key terms of the Notes will
be determined at the time of pricing.

For so long as the Notes maintain investment grade ratings from at least two of three
ratings agencies, the Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and will not be
guaranteed by any of Coty’s subsidiaries. If, and for so long as, the Notes no longer have
investment grade ratings from at least two of three ratings agencies, the Notes will be fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of Coty’s subsidiaries (other than
the Co-Issuers) that guarantee, and will be secured by first-priority liens on the same collateral
that secures, Coty’s obligations under its existing senior secured credit facilities and its existing
senior secured notes.

The Issuers intend to use the proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to
redeem all of Coty’s outstanding 5.000% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “5.000% Senior
Secured Notes”) and a portion of Coty’s outstanding 3.875% senior secured notes due 2026
(the “3.875% Senior Secured Notes”), in each case at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, including to pay fees and expenses
related thereto. The Issuers will use cash on hand to pay the offering expenses payable by them
in connection with the offering.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S
under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy
the Notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any
jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Additionally, this press
release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 5.000% Senior Secured
Notes or the 3.875% Senior Secured Notes.
