Planned Merger with the P&G Beauty Brands
On July 9, 2015, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") to merge (the “Merger”) the P&G Beauty Brands, comprising 43 beauty brands, into the Company through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The purchase consideration to be issued in connection with the Merger will consist of a combination of equity and assumed debt. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the assumed debt of $2,900.0 from the P&G Beauty Brands is subject to a $1,000.0 adjustment pursuant to a collar based on the trading price of the Company’s stock (within a range of $22.06 to $27.06 per share) prior to the close of the transaction as well as other contractual valuation adjustments. Consequently, the assumed debt is expected to be between approximately$1,900.0 and $3,900.0.
As of August 17, 2016, the Company expects that P&G shareholders will receive 409.7 million shares or 54% of all outstanding shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. 
As of August 17, 2016, including an adjustment for the two brands that will not transfer to the Company upon completion of the Merger, a working capital adjustment, and other adjustments, the estimated total transaction value is expected to be $13,200.0 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 17, 2016 of $27.71, which is above the collar.  This comprises $11,400.0 in equity and an estimated amount of assumed debt of $1,800.0. The amount of debt assumed of $1,800.0 reflects the $1,900.0 amount pursuant to the collar (reflecting such closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 17, 2016) and an estimated decrease of $100.0 in connection with certain other adjustments. 
The P&G transaction is expected to close in October 2016, subject to regulatory clearances, works council consultations, and other customary conditions. The final purchase price allocation will be based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the closing.
The Company recognized acquisition-related costs associated with the P&G transaction of $163.8 and $30.2 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which are included in Acquisition-related costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company estimates that the failure to complete the Merger could result in unrecoverable costs of approximately $400.0 to the Company as of June 30, 2016, which include costs already incurred related to integration efforts as well as costs that would be required to exit signed agreements.
Legal Matters
On June 28, 2013, the Company submitted its final voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”) which disclosed the results of its internal due diligence review conducted with the advice of outside counsel regarding certain export transactions from January 2008 through March 2012. In particular, the Company disclosed information relating to overall compliance with U.S. export control laws by its majority-owned subsidiary in the UAE, and the nature and quantity of its re-exports to Syria that the Company believes may constitute violations of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”). The disclosure addressed the above described findings and the remedial actions the Company has taken to date. On January 6, 2014, the Company received a warning letter from the OEE stating that the bureau has closed the investigation of its final voluntary disclosure and determined not to pursue administrative or criminal prosecution even though the transactions violated EAR. The OEE imposed no financial penalties.
The Company’s June 28, 2013 letter to OEE also disclosed that prior to January 2010 some of its subsidiary’s sales to Syria were made to a party that was designated as a target of U.S. economic sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). The Company did not believe these sales constituted a violation of U.S. trade sanctions administered by OFAC, however, the Company also notified OFAC of its final voluntary disclosure to the OEE. On May 12, 2015, OFAC decided to resolve the matter of these sales by issuing a cautionary letter and declining to impose a financial penalty. The cautionary letter does not preclude OFAC from taking further action if the Company violates OFAC administered sanctions in the future.
On June 28, 2013, the Company also voluntarily disclosed to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office of Antiboycott Compliance (“OAC”) the final results of its internal due diligence review. In particular, the Company disclosed information relating to overall compliance with U.S. antiboycott laws by its majority-owned subsidiary in the UAE, including with respect to the former inclusion of a legend on invoices, confirming that the corresponding goods did not contain materials of Israeli origin. A number of the invoices involved U.S. origin goods. The Company believes the inclusion of this legend may constitute violations of U.S. antiboycott laws. The disclosure addressed the above described findings and the remedial actions the Company has taken to date. OAC continues to review its voluntary disclosure. The Company cannot predict when OAC will complete its review. In July 2016, the Company entered into a tolling agreement with the OAC extending the statute of limitations on the OAC’s investigation until November 30, 2016.
Penalties for EAR violations can be significant and civil penalties can be imposed on a strict liability basis, without any showing of knowledge or willfulness. OAC has wide discretion to settle claims for violations. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that OAC may impose a penalty or penalties that would result in a material loss. Irrespective of any penalty, the Company could suffer other adverse effects on its business as a result of any violations or the potential violations, including legal costs and harm to its reputation, and the Company also will incur costs associated with its efforts to improve its compliance procedures. The Company has not established a reserve for potential penalties. The Company does not know whether OAC will assess a penalty or what the amount of any penalty would be, if a penalty or penalties were assessed.
In addition, the Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation, other regulatory actions and other legal proceedings incidental to its business. While the Company cannot predict any final outcomes, management believes that the outcome of current litigation, regulatory actions and legal proceedings will not have a material effect upon its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current litigation, regulatory actions and other legal proceedings could change in light of the discovery of facts with respect to litigation, regulatory actions or other proceedings pending against the Company not presently known to the Company or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation, regulatory actions and legal proceedings.
