Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 19, 2016, Coty Inc. (the “Company”), The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”), Galleria Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of P&G (“SplitCo”), and Green Acquisition Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) to amend certain terms of the Transaction Agreement, dated July 8, 2015 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among the Company, P&G, SplitCo and Merger Sub, including the exhibits thereto and the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to P&G pursuant thereto. The Company, P&G, SplitCo and Merger Sub entered into the Transaction Agreement to merge P&G’s fine fragrance, color cosmetics, and hair color businesses into Merger Sub through a tax-free Reverse Morris Trust transaction.
The Letter Agreement amends the Transaction Agreement and the exhibits and disclosure letter thereto to disclose and reflect the Company’s previously announced $500 million share repurchase authorization of its Class A common stock.
The other material terms of the Transaction Agreement remain unchanged.
The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, and the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
