Exhibit 99.1
image_0.jpg
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Offer, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes listed in the table below has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer.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.

b.Does not include Accrued Interest (as defined below), which will also be payable as described below.
c.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validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase will be made on a date promptly following the Expiration Date, which is currently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As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date exceeded the Notes Cap, the Company will accept for purchase the Notes on a prorated basis, and the Company will not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.
