EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s Common Stock consisted of Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. The holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of June 30, 2025, total authorized shares of Class A Common Stock were 1,250.0 million and total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock were 872.3 million.

In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company issued 4.4, 9.8, and 13.8 million shares of its Class A Common Stock, respectively, and received $0.0, $13.5, and $0.9 in cash, in connection with the exercise of employee stock options and settlement of RSUs.

On September 29, 2023 and October 2, 2023, the Company issued a total of 33.0 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a public offering price of $10.80 (or €10.28) per share in a global offering (the “Offering”). The Company also announced the admission to listing and trading of its Common Stock on the professional segment of the Euronext Paris.

The Company received $348.4 from the Offering, net of $10.0 of underwriting fees. Additionally, the Company incurred $6.0 in other professional fees. The underwriting fees and other professional fees incurred in connection with the Offering were incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance and thus were presented as a reduction of Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

This exchange right expired on March 27, 2024. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock (1.0 million shares) at a redemption price of $0.01 per share. The Company plans to redeem these shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with their terms.

Total accrued dividends on unvested RSUs and phantom units included in Other current liabilities are $0.7 and $0.8 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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, and on November 13, 2023, the Board increased the Company’s share repurchase authorization by an additional $600.0 (the “Share Repurchase Program”). 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, 2025, the Company has $796.8 remaining under the Share Repurchase Program.

In June 2022, December 2022 and November 2023, 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, $196.0, and $294.0 share buyback programs in 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. In connection with the June 2022, December 2022, and November 2023 Forward transactions, the Company incurred certain execution fees of $2.0, $2.0, and $2.9, respectively, which were recognized as a premium to the forward price recorded at inception and amortized ratably over the contract periods.

In February 2024, the Company elected to physically settle the June 2022 Forward for a cash payment of $200.0 in exchange for 27.0 million shares of its Class A Common Stock. The fair value of the shares repurchased was approximately $350.6, which was recorded as an increase to Treasury stock in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity.

In December 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the December 2022 forward repurchase contracts by one year to fiscal 2026.

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 December 2022 and November 2023 Forward transactions were 7.2% and 7.6%, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.

As part of the December 2022 Forward transaction, the Counterparties purchased approximately 22.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. In addition, as part of the November 2023 Forward transaction, the Counterparties purchased 25.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. These Forward agreements require the Company to: (i) repurchase the shares on or before December 15, 2025 and December 31, 2025, 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.

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 October 2024, the price of Coty’s Class A shares declined below the threshold specified in the Hedge Valuation Adjustment for the November 2023 Forward, which resulted in a cash payment of $61.8 to the Counterparties. In November 2024, the Company entered into agreements with the Counterparties for a temporary contractual amendment to the Hedge Valuation Adjustment, which was effective from October 2024 through February 2025, resulting in a refund of $61.8 from the Counterparties. The amendment did not apply to the December 2022 Forward.

In February 2025, the price of Coty’s Class A shares declined below the threshold specified in the Hedge Valuation Adjustment for the December 2022 Forward and the amended November 2023 Forward, which resulted in a cash payment of $191.1 to the Counterparties. This resulted in a downward adjustment to the initial price at acquisition for these Forwards.

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 expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 17 - Derivative Instruments for additional information.

The fair values of the Company’s Forwards were $(77.5) and $(12.4) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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.
