As of June 30, 2023, total authorized shares of Class A Common Stock was 1,250.0 million and total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock was 852.8 million.

In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company issued 13.8, 3.3, and 1.7 million shares of its Class A Common Stock, respectively, and received $0.9, nil, and nil in cash, in connection with the exercise of employee stock options and settlement of RSUs.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 69.9 million shares of its Class A Common Stock as a result of conversions of Series B Preferred Stock.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company reacquired 0.8 million of the 1.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock issued for the restricted stock awards granted during the year ended June 30, 2020. Of the 0.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock reacquired, 0.1 million were withheld for employee taxes due on vested restricted stock awards and 0.7 million were for restricted stock awards forfeited during the year ended, June 30, 2021.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, JAB Beauty B.V. (formerly known as Cottage Holdco B.V.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAB Cosmetics B.V. (“JABC”), and JABC acquired 0.0, 0.0 and 0.3 million shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock in the open market.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s largest stockholder was JAB Beauty B.V., which owned approximately 53% of Coty’s outstanding Class A Common Stock. JAB Beauty B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAB Cosmetics B.V. (“JABC”), is indirectly controlled by Lucresca SE, Agnaten SE and JAB Holdings B.V. (“JAB”). The Company’s CEO, Sue Nabi, was granted a one-time sign-on award of restricted stock units (the “Award”) on June 30, 2021. On October 29, 2021, JAB Beauty B.V. completed the transfer of 10.0 million shares of Common Stock to Ms. Nabi in connection with her sign-on award of restricted stock units. See Note 24—Share-Based Compensation Plans for additional information.

Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2023, total authorized shares of preferred stock are 20.0 million. There are two classes of Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, both with a par value of $0.01 per share.

As of June 30, 2023, there were 1.0 million shares of Series A and no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding. Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends and have no voting rights except as required by law.

The Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued to executive officers and directors under subscription agreements. Generally, the subscription agreements entitle the holder of the vested Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock to exchange the Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock into either cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, at the election of the Company, at the exchange value. The exchange value is generally equal to the difference between the 10-day trailing average closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date of exchange and a predetermined hurdle price. The Series A Preferred Stock generally vests on the fifth anniversary of issuance, subject to continued employment with the Company and investment by the holder in shares of Class A Common Stock throughout the vesting period. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock generally vests on graded vesting terms where 60% of the award granted vests after three years, 20% of the award granted vests after four years and 20% of the award granted vests after five years, subject to continued employment with the Company and investment by the holder in shares of Class A Common Stock throughout the vesting period. To the extent the Company controls whether such shares will be settled in cash or equity and intends to settle the grant in equity, the grant is treated as an equity grant, otherwise the grant is treated as a liability grant.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the outstanding issuance of Series A Preferred Stock:

Issuance Date	Type	Number of Shares Awarded at Grant Date (millions of shares)	Number of Shares Outstanding (millions of shares)	Hurdle Price per Share
March 27, 2017 (a) (b)	Series A	1.0	1.0	$22.39

(a)If the holder does not exchange the vested Series A Preferred Stock by a specified expiration date, the Company must automatically exchange the Series A Preferred Stock into cash or shares, at election of the Company.

(b)This grant was sold to Lambertus J.H. Becht (“Mr. Becht”), the Company’s former Chairman of the Board. Under the terms provided in the subscription agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock immediately vested on the grant date and the holder may exchange the vested shares after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The Company requires shareholder approval in order to settle the exchange in shares of Class A Common Stock. Therefore, the award is classified as a liability as of June 30, 2023. An expense (income) of $0.2, $(0.2) and $0.8 was recorded during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and has been included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2023, total issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is 1.0 million, which vested on March 27, 2017. As of June 30, 2023, the Company classified $0.8 of Series A Preferred Stock as a liability, recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Convertible Series B Preferred Stock

On May 11, 2020, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with KKR Aggregator, relating to the issuance and sale by the Company to KKR Aggregator of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s new Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,000.0, or $1,000 per share (the “Issuance”). The Company completed the issuances and sales of the Series B Preferred Stock on May 26, 2020 and July 31, 2020. On November 16, 2020, KKR Aggregator and affiliated investment funds agreed to sell 146,057 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to HFS Holdings S.à r.l, that is beneficially owned by Peter Harf, a director of the Company. The transaction closed on August 27, 2021.

As a result of various conversions and exchanges of KKR Aggregator's shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, as of December 31, 2021, KKR has fully redeemed/exchanged all of their Series B Preferred Stock.

Cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of 9.0% per year. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Board of Directors declared dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock of $13.2 and $35.2, paid accrued dividends of $13.2 and $55.8 and converted/exchanged dividends of $0.0 and $50.1, respectively.

Dividend Rights and Liquidation Preferences. The Series B Preferred Stock rank senior to the Company’s Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, representing an aggregate liquidation preference of $1,000.0 upon issuance. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to the dividend at the rate of 9% per annum, accruing daily and payable quarterly in arrears. The dividend rate will increase by a 1% on the seven-year anniversary of the Closing Date and shall increase by an additional 1% on each subsequent anniversary up to a total of 12%. If the Company does not declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock on any dividend payment date, the dividend rate will increase by 1% per annum until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid in full. Dividends will be payable in cash, or by increasing the amount of accrued dividends on Series B Preferred Stock, or any combination thereof, at the sole discretion of the Company. Accrued and unpaid dividends are not payable in shares unless the Series B Preferred Stock is converted to Common Stock.

Conversion Features. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $6.24 per share of Series B Preferred Stock and an initial conversion rate of 160.2564 shares of Common Stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock. At any time after the third anniversary of the closing date, if the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock exceeds $12.48 per share for at least 20 trading dates in any period of 30 consecutive trading days, at the election of the Company, all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into the relevant number of shares of Common Stock.

Redemption Features. At any time following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may redeem some or all of the Series B Preferred Stock for a per share amount in cash equal to (i) the sum of (x) 100% of the liquidation preference plus (y) all accrued and unpaid dividends, multiplied by (ii) (A) 107% if the redemption occurs at any time after the fifth

anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) 105% if the redemption occurs at any time after the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, and (C) 100% if the redemption occurs at any time after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.

Voting rights. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, subject to the Ownership Limitation as defined in the Investment Agreement. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a separate class vote with respect to, among other things, amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Series B Preferred Stock, authorizations or issuances by the Company of securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series B Preferred Stock, increases or decreases in the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and issuances of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Change of Control Put. Upon certain change of control events involving the Company holders of Series B Preferred Stock may, at the holder’s election (i) convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the then-current conversion price or (ii) cause the Company to redeem their shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount in cash equal to (x) if the change of control occurs on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, 110% of the sum of the liquidation preference thereof plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and (y) if the change of control occurs on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, 100% of the Redemption Price, provided that in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, if such change of control occurs on or before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will also be required to pay the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock a “make-whole” premium.

Participation and Other Pertinent Rights. Following the Second Exchange, KKR no longer holds any preferred stock of the Company and no longer has the right to designate any directors to the Company's Board of Directors.

Dividends - Common Stock

On April 29, 2020, the Board of Directors suspended the payment of dividends on Common Stock. No dividends on Common Stock were declared for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Total dividends in cash and other recorded to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 and $0.8, respectively, which represents dividends no longer expected to vest as a result of forfeitures of outstanding RSUs.

In addition to the activity noted above, the Company made payments of $0.7, of which $0.2 relates to tax, and $1.4, respectively, for the previously accrued dividends on RSUs that vested during the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Treasury Stock - Share Repurchase Program

Since February 2014, the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock under approved repurchase programs. On February 3, 2016, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 of its Class A Common Stock (the “Incremental Repurchase Program”). Such repurchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its Class A Common Stock, and general market conditions. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has $396.8 remaining under the Incremental Repurchase Program. There were no share repurchase activities during the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 under the Incremental Repurchase Program.

In June and December 2022, the Company entered into forward repurchase contracts (the “Forward” and together the “Forwards”) with three large financial institutions (“Counterparties”) to start hedging for potential $200.0 and $196.0 share buyback programs in 2024 and 2025, respectively. In connection with the June and December 2022 Forward transactions, the Company incurred certain execution fees of $2.0 and $2.0, respectively, which were recognized as a premium to the forward price recorded at inception and amortized ratably over the contract periods.

As part of the Forward agreements, the Company will pay interest on the outstanding underlying notional amount of the Forwards held by the Counterparties during the contract periods. The interest rates are variable, based on the United States secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. The weighted average interest rate plus applicable spread for the June and December 2022 Forward transactions were 8.2% and 9.2%, respectively, as of June 30, 2023.

As part of the June 2022 Forward transaction, two of the Counterparties purchased approximately 27.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, as part of the December 2022 Forward transaction, these two Counterparties purchased approximately 11.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The June and December 2022 Forward agreements require the Company to: (i) repurchase the shares on or before June 6, 2024 and December 15, 2024, respectively, at a price based on the weighted average of the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the initial acquisition period (“Initial Price”); or (ii) at the Company’s option, pay or receive the difference between the Final Price, defined as the weighted average of the daily VWAP during the unwind period as defined in the agreement, and Initial Price of the Forwards.

As part of the December 2022 Forward transaction, the remaining Counterparty purchased approximately 11.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. This Forward requires the Company to pay or receive the difference between the Final Price and Initial Price established at inception of the Forward on or before January 15, 2025.

In addition, the Forwards include a provision for a potential true-up in cash upon specified changes in the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock relative to the Initial Price (“Hedge Valuation Adjustment”). Such Hedge Valuation adjustment shall not result in a termination date or any adjustment of the number of Coty’s Class A Common Stock shares purchased by the Counterparties at inception.

In the event the Company declares and pays any cash dividends on its Class A Common Stock, the Forward Counterparties will be entitled to such dividend payments and payable at termination of the Forwards.

Since the Forwards permit a net cash settlement alternative in addition to the physical settlement, the Company accounted for the Forwards initially and subsequently at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair values of the Company’s Forwards were $219.8 and $24.5 as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Forwards are valued principally based on the change in the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock price between the inception date and the end of the period. We classify these instruments as Level 2.
