18.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2011, MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owned shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock having approximately 77% of the combined voting power of all of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred 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, on June 24, 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 $0.3 million for each of 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Reimbursement Agreements

Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings) 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 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.

 

Products Corporation reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or provided by MacAndrews & Forbes to Products Corporation 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 Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation, 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. Products Corporation does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to Products Corporation as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation participate in MacAndrews & Forbes' directors and officers liability insurance program, as well as its other insurance coverages, such as property damage, business interruption, liability and other coverages, which cover Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation, as well as MacAndrews & Forbes. 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. Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation reimburse MacAndrews & Forbes from time to time for their allocable portion of the premiums for such coverage or Revlon, Inc. and/or Products Corporation pay 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 Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation directly to MacAndrews & Forbes in respect of premiums are included in the amounts paid under the Reimbursement Agreements. The net amounts reimbursable from (payable to) MacAndrews & Forbes to (from) Products Corporation for the services provided under the Reimbursement Agreements for 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $(0.5) million, $0.1 million and nil, respectively.

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 12, "Income Taxes," for further discussion on these agreements and related transactions in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

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), the then direct parent of Revlon, Inc., entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), and 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, shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with the $50.0 million equity rights offering consummated by Revlon, Inc. in 2003 and shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Revlon, Inc.'s Class B Common Stock owned by such Holders (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 $110 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes, which was consummated in March 2006, and Revlon, Inc.'s $100 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes, which was consummated in January 2007.

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.

Senior Subordinated Term Loan

For a description of transactions with MacAndrews & Forbes in 2009 in connection with the Senior Subordinated Term Loan, including, without limitation, the extension of the maturity date and the change in the annual interest rate on the Contributed Loan and the Non-Contributed Loan portions of the Senior Subordinated Term Loan and other related transactions in connection with the closing of the 2009 Exchange Offer, see Note 9, "Long-Term Debt and Redeemable Preferred Stock – Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement and – Redeemable Preferred Stock."

Contribution and Stockholders Agreement

In connection with consummating the 2009 Exchange Offer, Revlon, Inc. and MacAndrews & Forbes entered into a Contribution and Stockholder Agreement (as amended, the "Contribution and Stockholder Agreement"), pursuant to which through October 8, 2013:

 

   

During any period in which Revlon, Inc. may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Revlon, Inc. will file or furnish, as appropriate, with the SEC on a voluntary basis all periodic and other reports that are required of a company that is subject to such reporting requirements;

 

   

Revlon, Inc. will maintain a majority of independent directors on its Board of Directors, each of whom meets the "independence" criteria as set forth in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, as it currently does; and

 

   

Revlon, Inc. will not engage in any transaction with any affiliate, other than Revlon, Inc.'s subsidiaries, or with any legal or beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of Revlon, Inc.'s voting stock, unless (i) any such transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or other consideration in excess of $5 million has been approved by all of Revlon, Inc.'s independent directors and (ii) any such transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or other consideration in excess of $20 million has been determined, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, to be fair, from a financial point of view, to Revlon, Inc., and in each case subject to certain exceptions.

MacAndrews & Forbes agreed that it will not complete certain short-form mergers under Section 253 of the DGCL unless either (i) such transaction has been approved in advance by a majority of the independent directors of Revlon, Inc.'s Board of Directors, as well as satisfying certain other conditions; or (ii) the short-form merger is preceded by a "qualifying tender offer" (as defined in the Contribution and Stockholder Agreement) for the shares of Class A Common Stock held by persons other than MacAndrews & Forbes, subject to certain other conditions. In any such merger, the holders of Preferred Stock would retain their shares of Preferred Stock, or receive shares of preferred stock in the surviving corporation of such merger with terms identical to, or no less favorable than, the terms of the Preferred Stock (with, for the avoidance of doubt, the same terms as though issued on the date of original issuance of the Preferred Stock).

Fidelity Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. and Fidelity Management & Research Co. ("Fidelity"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC ("FMR"), entered into a stockholders agreement (the "Fidelity Stockholders Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Revlon, Inc. (i) agreed to continue to maintain a majority of independent directors (as defined by NYSE listing standards) on its Board of Directors, as it currently does; (ii) established and maintains its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors; and (iii) agreed to certain restrictions with respect to its conducting any business or entering into any transactions or series of related transactions with any of its affiliates, any holders of 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock or any affiliates of such holders (in each case, other than its subsidiaries). The Fidelity Stockholders Agreement terminates, by its terms, when Fidelity ceases to be the beneficial holder of at least 5% of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding voting stock.

In November 2009, affiliates of Fidelity filed a Schedule 13G/A with the SEC disclosing that they ceased to own any shares of Class A Common Stock. In 2010, Fidelity advised the Company that, as of the April 8, 2010 record date for Revlon, Inc.'s 2010 Annual Stockholders' Meeting, FMR (singly or together with other affiliates of Fidelity) owned 8,233,526 shares of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding Class A common stock and Revlon, Inc.'s Series A preferred stock, in the aggregate, representing approximately 9.2% of Revlon, Inc.'s issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock at such date. Subsequently, however, Fidelity filed a Schedule 13F with the SEC on February 14, 2012, indicating that it owned 1,013,000 shares of Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2011. The Company does not know how many shares of Class A Preferred Stock Fidelity may own, and there is no public record of such ownership.

Other

Pursuant to a lease dated April 2, 1993 (the "Edison Lease"), Revlon Holdings leased to Products Corporation the Edison, N.J. research and development facility for a term of up to 10 years with an annual rent of $1.4 million and certain shared operating expenses payable by Products Corporation which, together with the annual rent, were not to exceed $2.0 million per year. In August 1998, Revlon Holdings sold the Edison facility to an unrelated third party, which assumed substantially all liability for environmental claims and compliance costs relating to the Edison facility, and in connection with such sale Products Corporation terminated the Edison Lease and entered into a new lease with the new owner. Revlon Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation through September 1, 2013 (the original term of the new lease) to the extent that rent under the new lease exceeds the rent that would have been payable under the terminated Edison Lease had it not been terminated. Effective October 2010, Products Corporation entered into a renewal of the lease with the owner through September 2025. The Revlon Holdings indemnification obligation will terminate on September 1, 2013. The net amounts reimbursed by Revlon Holdings to Products Corporation with respect to the Edison facility for 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Certain of Products Corporation's debt obligations, including the 2011 Credit Agreements and Products Corporation's 9 3/4% Senior Secured Notes, have been, and may in the future be, supported by, among other things, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. and, subject to certain limited exceptions, all of the domestic subsidiaries of Products Corporation. The obligations under such guarantees are secured by, among other things, the capital stock of Products Corporation and, subject to certain limited exceptions, the capital stock of all of Products Corporation's domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of Products Corporation's and its domestic subsidiaries' first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
