Revlon Announces Successful Completion of Credit Agreement Refinancing

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 20, 2006--Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) ("Revlon"), today announced that its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("RCPC" and, together with Revlon, Inc., the "Company"), had successfully consummated the previously-announced refinancing of its existing bank credit agreement.  Among other things, the new credit facilities will result in significant annual interest savings due to lower interest margins and provide the Company with greater financial and other covenant flexibility, as well as extend the maturity dates for RCPC's bank credit agreement to January 2012.

Commenting on the announcement, Revlon President and CEO David Kennedy stated, "I am delighted with this demonstration of support by our lenders.  This new credit agreement provides us with additional liquidity and flexibility as we enter 2007 focused on our core Revlon, Almay and Mitchum brands, while seeking to continue to improve our cash flow."

As part of this refinancing, RCPC entered into a new 5-year $840 million term loan facility (the "2006 Term Loan Facility"), replacing the $800 million term loan under RCPC's 2004 bank credit agreement.  RCPC also amended its existing $160 million multi-currency revolving credit facility under its 2004 bank credit agreement and extended its maturity through the same 5-year period (the "2006 Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2006 Term Loan Facility, the "2006 Credit Facilities").

The Company indicated that the proceeds from the 2006 Credit Facilities were used to repay in full approximately $800 million of outstanding indebtedness under the term loan facility of RCPC's 2004 bank credit agreement, plus accrued interest and a prepayment fee, with the balance of the proceeds being available for general corporate purposes, after paying fees and expenses incurred in connection with consummating the 2006 Credit Facilities.

The interest rate on the 2006 Term Loan Facility, which was fully drawn at the closing, was reduced from LIBOR plus 6.0% to LIBOR plus 4.0%.  The interest rate on the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, of which approximately $57 million was drawn at the closing, was reduced from LIBOR plus 2.5% to LIBOR plus 2.0%.  The 2006 Term Loan Facility is guaranteed and secured by substantially the same collateral package and guarantees that secured the term loan facility of

RCPC's 2004 bank credit agreement, and the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility continues to be guaranteed and secured by its existing collateral package and guarantees.

Further details regarding these financing transactions will be made available by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K which the Company will file with SEC on or about December 21, 2006.
