[1] On February 8, 2013, Products Corporation issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5¾% Senior Notes due February 15, 2021 (the “5¾% Senior Notes”) to investors at par. Products Corporation used $491.2 million of net proceeds (net of underwriters' fees) from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes to repay or redeem all of the $330 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Secured Notes due November 2015 (the “9¾% Senior Secured Notes"), as well as to pay an aggregate of $27.5 million for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, accrued interest and related fees and expenses. Products Corporation used a portion of the remaining proceeds, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113.0 million of principal on its 2011 Term Loan Facility in conjunction with the consummation of the 2013 Bank Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation expects to use the remaining balance available from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, debt reduction transactions, such as repaying to Revlon, Inc. at maturity in October 2013 the Contributed Loan (as defined below). Refer to “Recent Debt Transactions – 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing” below for further discussion.
