RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2014, MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owned approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock representing approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.’s outstanding shares of voting capital stock. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect Revlon, Inc.’s entire Board of Directors and control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Revlon, Inc.'s stockholders. MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman, Chairman of Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors.
Transfer Agreements
In June 1992, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into an asset transfer agreement with Revlon Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and formerly a Delaware corporation known as Revlon Holdings Inc. ("Revlon Holdings"), and which is an affiliate and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes, and certain of Revlon Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiaries. Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation also entered into a real property asset transfer agreement with Revlon Holdings. Pursuant to such agreements, in June 1992, Revlon Holdings transferred certain assets to Products Corporation and Products Corporation assumed all of the liabilities of Revlon Holdings, other than certain specifically excluded assets and liabilities (the liabilities excluded are referred to as the "Excluded Liabilities"). Certain consumer products lines sold in demonstrator-assisted distribution channels considered not integral to the Company's business and that historically had not been profitable and certain other assets and liabilities were retained by Revlon Holdings. Revlon Holdings agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation against losses arising from the Excluded Liabilities, and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation agreed to indemnify Revlon Holdings against losses arising from the liabilities assumed by Products Corporation. The amounts reimbursed by Revlon Holdings to Products Corporation for the Excluded Liabilities was $0.2 million for each of 2014 and 2013, and $0.3 million for 2012. A $0.1 million receivable balance from MacAndrews & Forbes was included within prepaid expenses and other in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for transactions subject to the Transfer Agreements, at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Reimbursement Agreements
Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes) have entered into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to which (i) MacAndrews & Forbes Inc. is obligated to provide (directly or through its affiliates) certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Products Corporation, and to purchase services from third party providers, such as insurance, legal, accounting and air transportation services, on behalf of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, to the extent requested by Products Corporation, and (ii) Products Corporation is obligated to provide certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to MacAndrews & Forbes and to purchase services from third party providers, such as insurance, legal and accounting services, on behalf of MacAndrews & Forbes to the extent requested by MacAndrews & Forbes, provided that in each case the performance of such services does not cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews & Forbes or Products Corporation, as the case may be.
The Company reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or provided by MacAndrews & Forbes to the Company and its subsidiaries and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews & Forbes reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or provided by Products Corporation to MacAndrews & Forbes and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or provision of such services. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and MacAndrews & Forbes Inc., on the other, has agreed to indemnify the other party for losses arising out of the services provided by it under the Reimbursement Agreements, other than losses resulting from its willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Reimbursement Agreements may be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice. The Company does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
The Company participates in MacAndrews & Forbes' directors and officers liability insurance program (the “D&O Insurance Program”), as well as its other insurance coverages, such as property damage, business interruption, liability and other coverages, which cover the Company, as well as MacAndrews & Forbes and its subsidiaries. The limits of coverage for certain of the policies are available on an aggregate basis for losses to any or all of the participating companies and their respective directors and officers. The Company reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes from time to time for their allocable portion of the premiums for such coverage or the Company pays the insurers directly, which premiums the Company believes are more favorable than the premiums the Company would pay were it to secure stand-alone coverage. Any amounts paid by the Company directly to MacAndrews & Forbes in respect of premiums are included in the amounts paid under the Reimbursement Agreements.
The net activity related to services provided and/or (purchased) under the Reimbursement Agreements during 2014 was $(3.8) million, which primarily included partial payments made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2014 for premiums related to the Company's allocable portion of the 5-year renewal of the D&O Insurance Program for the period from January 31, 2012 through January 31, 2017. The net activity related to services provided and/or (purchased) under the Reimbursement Agreements during 2013 was $(4.4) million, which primarily included a $6.1 million partial payment made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2013 for premiums related to the Company's allocable portion of the 5-year renewal of the D&O Insurance Program for the period from January 31, 2012 through January 31, 2017, partially offset by a $1.8 million payment from MacAndrews & Forbes for reimbursable costs incurred by the Company related to matters covered by the D&O Insurance Program. The net activity related to services provided and/or purchased under the Reimbursement Agreements during 2012 was $3.3 million, which primarily included a $18.0 million payment from MacAndrews & Forbes for reimbursable costs incurred by the Company related to matters covered by the D&O Insurance Program, partially offset by the initial $14.6 million partial pre-payment made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2012 for premiums related to the Company’s allocable portion of the D&O Insurance Program. The receivable balances from MacAndrews & Forbes were nil at both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for transactions subject to the Reimbursement Agreements.
Tax Sharing Agreements
As a result of a debt-for-equity exchange transaction completed in March 2004 (the “2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions”), as of March 25, 2004, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and their U.S. subsidiaries were no longer included in the MacAndrews & Forbes Group for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion on these agreements and related transactions in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Registration Rights Agreement
Prior to the consummation of Revlon, Inc.'s initial public equity offering in February 1996, Revlon, Inc. and Revlon Worldwide Corporation (which subsequently merged into REV Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes (“REV Holdings”)), the then direct parent of Revlon, Inc., entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). In February 2003, MacAndrews & Forbes executed a joinder agreement to the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which REV Holdings, MacAndrews & Forbes and certain transferees of Revlon, Inc.'s Common Stock held by REV Holdings (the "Holders") had the right to require Revlon, Inc. to register under the Securities Act all or part of the Class A Common Stock owned by such Holders, including, without limitation, the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with Revlon, Inc.'s 2003 $50.0 million equity rights offering and the shares of Class A Common Stock which were issued to REV Holdings upon its conversion of all 3,125,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock in October 2013 (a "Demand Registration"). In connection with the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions and pursuant to the 2004 Investment Agreement, MacAndrews & Forbes executed a joinder agreement that provided that MacAndrews & Forbes would also be a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and that all shares acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes pursuant to the 2004 Investment Agreement are deemed to be registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement. This included all of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with Revlon, Inc.’s March 2006 $110 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes, and Revlon, Inc.’s January 2007 $100 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes.
Revlon, Inc. may postpone giving effect to a Demand Registration for a period of up to 30 days if Revlon, Inc. believes such registration might have a material adverse effect on any plan or proposal by Revlon, Inc. with respect to any financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, or if Revlon, Inc. is in possession of material non-public information that, if publicly disclosed, could result in a material disruption of a major corporate development or transaction then pending or in progress or could result in other material adverse consequences to Revlon, Inc. In addition, the Holders have the right to participate in registrations by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock (a "Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration. Revlon, Inc. will pay any expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration, except for underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses attributable to the shares of Class A Common Stock sold by such Holders.
Other
As disclosed in Note 21, “Commitments and Contingencies,” during 2012, Revlon, Inc. and MacAndrews & Forbes entered into settlement agreements in connection with the previously disclosed litigation actions related to the 2009 Exchange Offer. Such settlements became effective in August 2013 and resulted in total cash payments of approximately $36.9 million to settle all actions and related claims by Revlon, Inc.’s stockholders, of which $23.5 million were paid from insurance proceeds. In August 2013, a payment of $8.9 million, representing the Company's allocable portion of the settlement amount, was made to settle all amounts owed by Revlon, Inc. in connection with the settlement agreements. The Company previously recorded the $8.9 million charge during 2012, which represented Revlon, Inc.’s allocable portion of the total settlement payments not expected to be covered by insurance. Additionally, in September 2013, Revlon, Inc. received a final payment of approximately $1.8 million of insurance proceeds in connection with matters related to the 2009 Exchange Offer. These proceeds are recorded as a gain within SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for 2013.
