SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 20, 2016

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS


REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION

Exchange Offer for
$450,000,000 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 and Related Guarantees

The Notes and the Guarantees

We are offering (the “exchange offer”) to issue $450 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 and related guarantees (collectively, the “exchange notes”), whose issuance is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, in exchange for our existing $450 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (CUSIP Nos. 761519BE6 and U8000EAJ8) and related guarantees (collectively, the “initial notes”). Unless the context otherwise requires, we refer to the initial notes and the exchange notes, collectively, as the “notes.”
The initial notes were originally issued by Revlon Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 4, 2016 (the “indenture”). On September 7, 2016, the Escrow Issuer was merged with and into Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation”), with Products Corporation being the surviving corporation, whereupon Products Corporation assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the initial notes and the indenture, and certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries guaranteed those obligations. The initial notes were issued and the exchange notes will be issued under the same indenture.
The exchange notes will mature on August 1, 2024. We will pay interest on the exchange notes semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2017, at a rate of 6.25% per annum, to holders of record at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date.
The exchange notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all our existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee or are borrowers under our New Senior Facilities (as defined under “Prospectus Summary—The Transactions”) (subject to certain exceptions), which we refer to collectively as the “guarantors.”
The exchange notes and the related guarantees will be our senior unsecured obligations. Accordingly, they will be (i) pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, (ii) senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness, and (iii) effectively junior to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior secured indebtedness, including, indebtedness under the New Senior Facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The exchange notes and the related guarantees will be (i) structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and preferred stock of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the exchange notes and (ii) pari passu in right of payment with liabilities of the guarantors other than expressly subordinated indebtedness. See “Description of Notes–Ranking.”
The exchange notes will be redeemable on or after August 1, 2019 at a premium that will decrease over time as set forth in this prospectus, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, prior to August 1, 2019, we may, at our option, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes at the premium set forth in this prospectus, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the notes at any time prior to August 1, 2019, at the price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date. See “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption.”
The exchange notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on             , 2016, unless we extend it.
If all the conditions to this exchange offer are satisfied, we will exchange all of our initial notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn for the exchange notes.
You may withdraw your tender of initial notes at any time before the expiration of this exchange offer.
The exchange notes that we will issue you in exchange for your initial notes will be substantially identical to your initial notes except that, unlike your initial notes, the exchange notes will have no transfer restrictions or registration rights.
The exchange notes that we will issue you in exchange for your initial notes are new securities with no established market for trading.

Before participating in this exchange offer, please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” commencing on page 31.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have not applied, and do not intend to apply, for listing or quotation of the notes on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for initial notes where such initial notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The date of this prospectus is             , 2016.

In this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” (and words of similar import) refer to Products Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (including Elizabeth Arden, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries). References to “Products Corporation” refer to Revlon Consumer Products Corporation exclusive of its subsidiaries and its direct parent, Revlon, Inc. (“Parent”).

The historical financial information presented herein is (i) the historical consolidated financial information of Products Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (excluding Elizabeth Arden, Inc.) or (ii) the historical financial information of Elizabeth Arden, as the case may be. Where information is presented “on a pro forma basis” or “pro forma,” such information is being presented after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions (as defined under “Prospectus Summary—The Transactions”), including the Acquisition (as defined under “Prospectus Summary—Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden”), unless otherwise specified. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on December 31. Our ability to achieve net cost reductions and synergies as described in this prospectus is subject to a number of factors, many of which are not in the Company’s control. See “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” In the context of any discussion of our financial information in this prospectus, any reference to a year or to any quarter of that year relates to the fiscal year ended on December 31. Prior to the Acquisition, Elizabeth Arden had a fiscal year ending on June 30. In the context of any discussion of Elizabeth Arden’s historical financial information in this prospectus, unless otherwise noted by reference to its calendar year, any reference to a year or to any quarter of that year relates to the fiscal year ended on June 30.

We have not authorized anyone to give you any information or to make any representations about us or the transactions we discuss in this prospectus other than those contained in this prospectus.

that information. This prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities anywhere or to anyone where or to whom we are not permitted to offer or sell securities under applicable law. The delivery of this prospectus does not, under any circumstances, mean that there has not been a change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus. Subject to our obligation to amend or supplement this prospectus as required by law and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the information contained in this prospectus is correct only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of these securities.

Each prospective purchaser of the exchange notes must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers or sells the notes or possesses or distributes this prospectus and must obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the additional exchange notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or sales, and we shall not have any responsibility therefor.

INDUSTRY AND OTHER STATISTICAL DATA

The industry dollar volume, growth data and other statistical information used in this prospectus are based on independent industry publications, government publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources, including A.C. Nielsen and Euromonitor, and are therefore subject to some degree of variance. All Euromonitor information provided is based on a 2015 fixed exchange rate. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal surveys or data, as well as the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Revlon Consumer Products Corporation

In this prospectus, we present our Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) (collectively, the “EBITDA-Based Measures”) and our Free Cash Flow (“Free Cash Flow”), which are calculated as described in the notes to the summary financial data under the caption “Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial and Other Data.” Our EBITDA-Based Measures are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss). Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of taxes), income from continuing operations (net of taxes), interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance, gains (losses) on foreign currency (losses) gains, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses, including certain additional adjustments. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we also exclude the effects of various items that our management believes are not directly attributable to our operating performance, such as non-cash stock compensation expense, restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration costs, gains and accruals relating to a fire in Venezuela, shareholder litigation recoveries (charges), inventory purchase accounting adjustments, pension settlement charges, deferred consideration in connection with acquisitions and charges in connection with executive management changes. We also exclude the effects of various items our management believes are unusual, such as Adjusted EBITDA from our Venezuela operations, an inventory obsolescence reserve and gains on the sale of certain non-core brands. Management believes that excluding such non-operating and unusual items improves comparability of our EBITDA-Based Measures from period to period because some of these items are not tied to our operations, may not occur in certain periods or can vary significantly from period to period in a manner that may not facilitate an understanding of our ongoing operating performance.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, plus proceeds from the sale of certain assets and insurance proceeds for plant, property and equipment. Free Cash Flow excludes proceeds on sale of discontinued operations. Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as it excludes certain expenditures such as mandatory debt service payments, which for us are significant.

Our management utilizes our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow as operating performance measures (in conjunction with GAAP and other non-GAAP measures) as integral parts of our reporting and

ii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

planning processes and as one of the primary measures to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations; (ii) facilitate management’s internal comparisons of our historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) facilitate management’s external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of our management team and, together with other operational objectives, as a measure in evaluating employee compensation and bonuses; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments. Our management believes that our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow are useful to investors to provide them with disclosures of our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management. Additionally, our management believes that our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow provide useful information to investors about the performance of our overall business because such measures eliminate the effects of unusual or other infrequent charges that are not directly attributable to our underlying operating performance. Additionally, our management believes that providing these non-GAAP measures enhances the comparability for investors in assessing our financial reporting and that Free Cash Flow is useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment to support our ongoing business operations, and provides them with the same measures that management uses as the basis for making resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, we believe that our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful financial analytical tools, used by our management as described above, that can assist investors in assessing our financial condition, operating performance and underlying strength. Our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for their respective most directly comparable as reported measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income/loss or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Other companies may define such non-GAAP measures differently. The calculation of our EBITDA-Based Measures may also differ from the calculation of “Consolidated EBITDA” (or similar measures) for purposes of the indenture or the agreements governing our other indebtedness. See “Description of Notes.”

Our presentation of our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

the EBITDA-Based Measures do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Free Cash Flow does not take account of our potential cash needs other than capital expenditures;
they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
with respect to our EBITDA-Based Measures, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and they do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements or improvements;
our EBITDA-Based Measures are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
our EBITDA-Based Measures do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;
they do not reflect certain limitations on our ability to transfer earnings or cash from our subsidiaries to Products Corporation; and
other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

iii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, our Management has stated certain expectations about adjustments that are not permitted under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, such as certain expected cost reductions and synergies related to the Acquisition (as defined under Prospectus Summary—Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden), which may not be achieved in whole or in part or may be achieved later than expected.

Because of these limitations, our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations, including those under the notes. We compensate for these limitations by using our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow, along with other comparative tools, including GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operations and cash flow data.

Our EBITDA-Based Measures and Free Cash Flow are not intended as alternatives to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance, as alternatives to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities as measures of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on our EBITDA-Based Measures or Free Cash Flow or ratios calculated using such measures. Our GAAP-based measures can be found in our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Elizabeth Arden

Elizabeth Arden’s EBITDA (“Elizabeth Arden EBITDA”) and Elizabeth Arden’s Adjusted EBITDA (“Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA”) are non-GAAP measures. Elizabeth Arden EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders plus: (i) the provision for income taxes (or net loss attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders less the benefit from income taxes or plus the provision for income taxes); (ii) historical interest expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest; (v) historical accretion and dividends on preferred stock; and (vi) depreciation related to cost of goods sold. Elizabeth Arden EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income (loss) from operations or net income (loss) attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of Elizabeth Arden’s operating performance, or to net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of Elizabeth Arden’s ability to meet cash needs. Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Elizabeth Arden EBITDA excluding non-recurring and certain other costs. Elizabeth Arden believes that Elizabeth Arden EBITDA and Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company’s operating performance and historical debt servicing ability because it assists in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to capital structure, depreciation and amortization, historical preferred stock accretion or dividends or non-operating factors (such as historical cost). Accordingly, as a result of Elizabeth Arden’s capital structure, Elizabeth Arden believes Elizabeth Arden EBITDA and Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA are relevant financial measures. This information has been disclosed in this prospectus to permit a more complete comparative analysis of Elizabeth Arden’s operating performance relative to other companies and of Elizabeth Arden’s historical debt servicing ability. Elizabeth Arden EBITDA and Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA may not, however, be comparable in all instances to other similar types of measures.

In addition, Elizabeth Arden EBITDA and Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, including the fact that:

they do not reflect Elizabeth Arden’s cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Elizabeth Arden’s historical debt or dividends or redemption value of Elizabeth Arden’s historical preferred stock;
they do not reflect any cash income taxes that Elizabeth Arden may be required to pay; and
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Elizabeth Arden’s Adjusted Net Sales and Elizabeth Arden EBITDA should be read in conjunction with Elizabeth Arden’s financial statements and related footnotes contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which are based on the beliefs, expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions, forecasts, plans, anticipations, targets, outlooks, initiatives, visions, objectives, strategies, opportunities, drivers, focus and intents of management. While we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known and unknown factors, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect our results. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations and estimates (whether qualitative or quantitative) as to:

(i) our ability to realize the benefits of the Acquisition and the other Transactions; our ability to integrate Elizabeth Arden’s operations and business into our own; our ability to service the significant indebtedness that we have incurred as a result of the Transactions; our ability to achieve expected net cost reductions and synergies from the Acquisition; and the Company’s future financial performance;

(ii) the effect on sales of decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in the Consumer, Professional and/or Other segments; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among professional salons; inventory management by the Company’s customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company’s customers; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, acquisition-related integration costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and marketing activities, or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company’s customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses;

(iii) the Company’s belief that the continued execution of its business strategy could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including through licensing transactions, if any), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining its approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Company’s October 9, 2013 acquisition of The Colomer Group Participations, S.L., a Spanish company now known as Beautyge Participations, S.L. (the “Colomer Acquisition”), the Company’s April 2015 acquisition of the CBBeauty Group and certain of its related entities (collectively, “CBB” and, such transaction, the “CBB Acquisition”), the Company’s October 2015 acquisition of the U.S. Cutex business and related assets from Cutex Brands, LLC (the “Cutex U.S. Acquisition”) and/or the Company’s May 31, 2016 acquisition of certain Cutex businesses from Coty Inc. (the “Cutex International Acquisition) (including the Company’s belief that such acquisition enhances and complements the Company’s existing brand portfolio of nail care products) and related non-restructuring costs, any of which, the intended purpose of which would be to create value through improving the Company’s financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities, which activities may be funded with cash on hand, funds available under the Company’s revolving loan facility and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt;

(iv) the Company’s belief that it is building a combined organization that is entrepreneurial, agile, and boldly creative with a passion for beauty, being strategic brand builders developing a diverse portfolio of

Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden

On June 16, 2016, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Parent, Products Corporation, RR Transaction Corp. and Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (“Elizabeth Arden”), pursuant to which we acquired Elizabeth Arden (the “Acquisition”) on September 7, 2016. Elizabeth Arden is a global prestige beauty products company with an extensive portfolio of iconic beauty brands that are highly complementary to our existing brand portfolio and are sold worldwide.

In North America, Elizabeth Arden’s principal customers include prestige retailers, the mass retail channel and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its branded retail outlet stores and e-commerce business. Elizabeth Arden products are also sold through the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa beauty salons and spas. Internationally, Elizabeth Arden’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands is sold to perfumeries, boutiques, department stores, travel retailers and distributors.

Elizabeth Arden Product Categories and Brands

Elizabeth Arden’s extensive brand portfolio includes the following:

Elizabeth Arden. Elizabeth Arden produces skin care, color cosmetics and fragrances under the Elizabeth Arden brand. Brands within this segment include Visible Difference, Ceramide, SuperStart, Prevage, Eight Hour Cream and Elizabeth Arden Pro.
Heritage, Designer, and Celebrity Fragrances. Elizabeth Arden’s heritage fragrances include a number of core brands, including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor, Curve, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Ed Hardy, Jennifer Aniston, Lucky Brand, Paul Sebastian, Halston, Geoffrey Beene, Rocawear, Alfred Sung, White Shoulders and BCBGMAXAZRIA. Designer fragrance brands include Juicy Couture, John Varvatos and Wildfox Couture. Celebrity fragrances include Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber.
Elizabeth Arden also distributes approximately 260 additional prestige fragrance brands owned by third parties. These products are typically sold to retailers and other outlets in the U.S. and internationally, including prestige retailers and specialty stores and mass retailers, including mid-tier and chain drug retailers and other international and travel retailers.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Elizabeth Arden generated net sales of $966.7 million, Adjusted Net Sales of $966.7 million, net loss of $74.4 million and Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA of $25.2 million. Elizabeth Arden’s profitability in recent periods has been negatively affected by underperformance within celebrity fragrances, prior underinvestment in the Elizabeth Arden brand, unprofitable distribution relationships, and a cost structure with excessive overhead. To remedy these issues, Elizabeth Arden management has reduced its exposure to celebrity fragrances, made significant investments in repositioning the Elizabeth Arden brand, driven growth via innovation, and exited unprofitable distributor relationships. Additionally, Elizabeth Arden’s management has implemented material cost reduction plans in order to improve profitability via its 2014 Performance Improvement Plan and its 2016 Business Transformation Program (as defined below). These two initiatives are expected to generate approximately $51 million of annualized cost reductions. On a pro forma combined basis, we would have generated approximately $2,888.6 million of Pro Forma Adjusted Net Sales. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA would have been approximately $403.6 million during the year ended June 30, 2016. The pro forma financial information above does not reflect the realization of any expected cost reductions or other synergies from the Acquisition. Based on our extensive integration planning, we expect to achieve $139.3 million of synergies and cost reductions relating to the Acquisition.

Acquisition Rationale

Through the Acquisition, we have created a global beauty company that is well-positioned in all key beauty categories, with Elizabeth Arden bringing strong capabilities in fragrance and skin care. We believe that we will benefit from greater scale, an expanded global footprint, and a significant presence across all major beauty channels and categories, while providing complementary brand and geographic expansion in important international growth regions, including the Asia Pacific region. We also expect to achieve substantial synergies and cost reductions in the combined business.

Key benefits of the Acquisition are expected to include:

Diversification of Category Mix, Geography and Distribution Channels. Our strength and expertise in color cosmetics, hair color, hair care, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants and beauty tools will be complemented by the addition of Elizabeth Arden’s extensive portfolio of both licensed fragrances and Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances and internationally-recognized line of skin care products, two categories that are well-positioned to benefit from future industry growth, while enhancing our scale. The following charts provide an illustrative representation of the combined company’s net sales by product category and geography.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Significant Growth Opportunity. Elizabeth Arden is a highly recognized prestige brand. The brand generated $394.9 million of Adjusted Net Sales during the year ended June 30, 2016. We believe that we have the ability to improve the performance of this brand by leveraging our existing new product development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities globally. We believe that the Elizabeth Arden brand can achieve accelerated growth through more relevant innovation, improved product efficacy and a rejuvenated, more vibrant image. The management team at Elizabeth Arden prior to the Acquisition had already began the global repositioning of the Elizabeth Arden brand, which resulted in adjusted net sales growth of 0.3%, or 5.9% at constant currency rates, for the year ended June 30, 2016, and we expect to build on that progress.

Clearly Identifiable and Achievable Synergies and Cost Reduction Opportunities. Based on our extensive integration planning, we expect to achieve $139.3 million of synergies and cost reductions by, among other things, leveraging our efficient manufacturing capabilities and enhancing purchasing scale. We anticipate that approximately 40% of synergies and cost reductions will come from cost of goods sold, approximately 35% will come from the consolidation of redundant headcount and approximately 25% will come from other selling, general and administrative expenses. The companies also anticipate that they will achieve additional growth opportunities in both sales channels and geographies.

Our management team has extensively analyzed the synergy and cost reduction opportunity and implementation timetable related to the Acquisition. Over the span of approximately two months following the announcement of the Acquisition, our Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer led a cross-functional team comprised of professionals from both Products Corporation and Elizabeth Arden that developed a detailed and achievable analytical roadmap to achieve selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) synergies and cost reductions. During this same time period, our Chief Supply Chain Officer led a team of supply chain and operations finance professionals that analyzed Elizabeth Arden’s sourcing and procurement network and contracts in collaboration with Elizabeth Arden’s supply chain leaders. This team performed various analyses focused on, but not limited to, the feasibility of in-sourcing strategic portions of Elizabeth Arden’s production volume into Revlon’s existing manufacturing platform and analyzing overlaps within common direct spend categories. We believe that our detailed analysis and extensive work surrounding synergies and cost reductions has generated an implementation plan that we believe is achievable. Since closing the Acquisition, we have continued our efforts in these areas.

We expect to achieve synergies in three main categories:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We anticipate incurring approximately $60 million of non-recurring expenses over the next four years to achieve the anticipated synergies and cost reductions and approximately $70 million in non-recurring capital expenditures over the next three years to complete the integration of the companies and strengthen the combined business. Non-recurring expenses include costs to achieve headcount rationalization, information technology costs to implement systems and infrastructure, and costs associated with consolidating footprint and relocating employees. Non-recurring capital expenditures include investments in technology implementation and hardware as well as investments in tooling, distribution and building expansion.

Our current portfolio consists of well-known brands, including Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors, Pure Ice, Revlon ColorSilk, American Crew, CND, Cutex and Mitchum, which we believe have significant brand equity with consumers and retailers. The Acquisition has added additional attractive brands, such as Elizabeth Arden, Juicy Couture, John Varvatos, Curve, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and significantly enhances the scale of our operations. Our strength and expertise in color cosmetics, hair color and hair care, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants and beauty tools is complemented by the addition of Elizabeth Arden’s portfolio of both licensed fragrances and Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances and internationally-recognized line of skin care products, while enhancing our scale. We anticipate that the combined company’s scale and ability to provide innovative, high-quality products across multiple high-growth categories within the global beauty market will allow us to expand and strengthen both our customer and supplier relationships.

The following table sets forth our principal brands by product category, reflecting the Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden:


Enhanced Channel Distribution and Well-Developed Relationships with Retail Partners. Elizabeth Arden’s strong global reach in prestige, department stores, spas, and travel retail complements our strength in mass retail, specialty retail and salons, strongly positioning us in all key beauty channels. We have long-established and well-developed relationships with our retail partners around the world. We work closely with our retail partners to ensure that we have the appropriate product offering for our consumers. These relationships enhance our ability to successfully and profitably grow our business globally.

History of Developing and Marketing Innovative Products. We have a history of building and leveraging our strong brands and believe that continued development and creative marketing of innovative new products is a key driver for building brand equity and profitable growth. We believe that we are an industry leader in the development of innovative and technologically-advanced cosmetics, skin care, fragrances and beauty products.

In meeting the needs of consumers, our global portfolio planning process delivers new products across our portfolio of brands, while at the same time keeping our established brands relevant and competitive, by developing and introducing line extensions and promotions and redesigning or reformulating existing products. Products recently introduced or anticipated to be introduced in the marketplace include:

Revlon Color Cosmetics: New mascara line, new Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor line, ColorStay Foundation and Concealer 2-in-1, new men’s beauty tools line, Visible Difference, Ceramide, SuperStart, Beautiful Color Bold
Revlon Haircare: New line of Buttercream Vivid Colors
Mitchum: Clinical gel and dry spray aerosol line
Prevage: Prevage City Smart + DNA Enzyme ComplexTM + Anti-pollution + Antioxidants Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Hydrating Shield, Advanced Ceramide Capsules Youth Restoring Serum, Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist, Prevage Anti-aging Foundation Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30, and White Tea

Broad Global Footprint. Our existing products are sold in approximately 150 countries around the world, and we have a strong international business with leading market positions in key product categories in Australia, Canada and South Africa. The Acquisition positions us to compete globally given Elizabeth Arden’s presence in important international growth regions, including the Asia Pacific region.

Successful Track Record of Acquiring and Integrating Businesses. We have opportunistically pursued acquisitions that enhance our brand and product portfolio as well as our geographic reach. The recent acquisitions of Colomer in 2013, CBBeauty in 2015 and the remaining international Cutex businesses that we did not already own in 2015 and 2016 have grown and diversified our business, while enabling us to enter new channels. While we identified $25 million of synergies and cost reductions in our Colomer transaction in 2013, we delivered over $35 million, representing an approximate 40% improvement over our initial estimates. We also acquired and integrated SinfulColors in 2011. We have a well-defined and disciplined strategy for identifying, acquiring and integrating businesses and believe that our proven acquisition capabilities will allow us to participate successfully in further industry growth.

Strong Financial Performance and Significant Cash Flow Generation. We have grown our net sales from $1,396.4 million in fiscal year 2012 to $1,914.3 million in 2015, representing a CAGR of 11.1%. We have grown our Adjusted EBITDA from $308.1 million in 2012 to $383.5 million in 2015, representing a CAGR of 7.6%.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During this period, capital expenditures and purchases of displays have averaged 2.2% and 2.7% of net sales, respectively, and net working capital has ranged between 3.3% and 5.1% of net sales. These favorable characteristics enabled us to generate significant cash flow that we used in part as a source to repay debt.

Strong and Deep Management Team. The members of our senior management team have extensive experience in the consumer products industry and have demonstrated a strong track record of operating businesses and integrating new acquisitions. Each key member of our management team has experience at other companies leading or executing cost reduction initiatives, brand revitalizations and acquisition integrations.

Mr. Pieraccioni was instrumental in the integration of Colomer after its acquisition in 2013.

Our Business Strategy for Value Creation

Our strategy is based on three key pillars:

Build a Foundation for Sustainable Growth that Outpaces the Industry. We will compete in large and fast growing beauty segments and build our portfolio of product offerings in all strategic categories. We will further strengthen and diversify our channels of distribution, especially direct to consumer. The Company will strengthen our U.S. business and expand into untapped geographies, with a focus on Asia.

Harness the Power of our Iconic Brand Portfolio to Delight Consumers Wherever and However They Shop for Beauty. The Company will continue to focus on restoring the appeal and aspiration of our flagship brands and invest in them. We are advancing our digital and omni-channel capabilities, and are focused on high-growth channels, especially E-commerce. We intend to continue to win in traditional channels, while expanding our combined reach into travel retail.

Develop a Cost Structure to Deliver World Class Profitability. We will continue to improve our operating performance by strategically allocating investments behind key brands, categories and regions. The Company intends to further improve our category mix and, with the acquisition of Elizabeth Arden, is now capable of shifting toward higher gross margin categories. We will continue to reduce the complexity of our product lineup and seek to reduce our product returns, sales markdowns and inventory levels. Through an enhanced new product development processes, we will increase our speed to shelf, optimize our resource allocation and shorten new product launch timing.

The Issuer

The issuer of the notes is Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Products Corporation”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Revlon, Inc. Products Corporation’s principal executive offices are currently located at One New York Plaza, New York, NY 10004.

The Transactions

On June 16, 2016, Products Corporation, Parent and RR Transaction Corp., a Florida corporation and then a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Products Corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), entered into the Merger Agreement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with Elizabeth Arden, Inc., pursuant to which on September 7, 2016, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Elizabeth Arden with Elizabeth Arden surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Products Corporation (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Elizabeth Arden’s common stock not owned by Elizabeth Arden, Parent, Products Corporation or Acquisition Sub was converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”). Total cash paid to Elizabeth Arden’s stockholders at the closing of the Transactions was $431.5 million. We refer to the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, including the payment of the Merger Consideration, as the “Acquisition.” The initial notes were originally issued on August 4, 2016 by Revlon Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”). On the date the Merger was completed, the Escrow Issuer merged with and into Products Corporation, with Products Corporation surviving the merger, whereupon Products Corporation assumed the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the indenture and the initial notes. Upon Products Corporation’s assumption of Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the indenture and the initial notes, Elizabeth Arden and certain of its subsidiaries, together with our other existing direct or indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), guaranteed those obligations.

Concurrently with the Acquisition, we entered into a 7-year $1,800.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and a 5-year $400.0 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the New Term Loan Facility, the “New Senior Facilities”). We used the proceeds of the offering of the initial notes and the New Term Loan Facility, together with $35.0 million of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, to fund the purchase price of the Acquisition, to pay related costs and to also repay, refinance or retire the following indebtedness (amounts outstanding are as of June 30, 2016):

(i) $1,310.0 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation’s previous (i) 2011 term loan due 2017; and (ii) 2013 term loan due 2019, which are governed by the same term loan facility agreement (collectively, the “Old Term Loan”);

(ii) $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of Elizabeth Arden’s 7⅜% senior notes due 2021 (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Notes”);

(iii) $42.0 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under Elizabeth Arden’s $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Facility”) (while $42.0 million was the amount outstanding under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016, the amount repaid by Products Corporation under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Credit Facility at the Acquisition Date was $142.0 million);

(iv) $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under Elizabeth Arden’s second lien credit facility (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Second Lien Facility”); and

(v) $55.0 million liquidation preference of Elizabeth Arden’s Series A Serial Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Preferred Stock”), which includes a $5.0 million change of control premium.

In addition, we terminated our then-existing $175.0 million amended revolving credit facility due 2018 (the “Old Revolver” and, together with the Old Term Loan, the “Old Senior Facilities”).

The Old Term Loan, collectively with the Old Elizabeth Arden Notes, the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Facility, the Old Elizabeth Arden Second Lien Facility and the Old Elizabeth Arden Preferred Stock are referred to as the “Refinanced Indebtedness.” In this prospectus, we refer to: (i) the entry into the New Senior Facilities, the repayment of the Refinanced Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest and dividends thereon, the termination of the Old Revolver and the offering of the initial notes, collectively, as the “Refinancing Transactions”; and (ii) the Acquisition, together with the Refinancing Transactions, as the “Transactions.”

This pro forma financial information is not a forecast or a projection of future results. The actual results of the combined operations for any period will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the following pro forma financial information and such variation may be material.

(a)Comparability of results from continuing operations for 2013 are affected by: (1) a $29.7 million aggregate loss on the early extinguishment of debt primarily in connection with Products Corporation’s issuance in February 2013 of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5¾% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “5¾% Senior Notes”), of which Products Corporation used $491.2 million of the net proceeds (net of underwriters’ fees) to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its old 9¾% Senior Secured Notes due November 2015 (the “Old 9¾% Senior Secured Notes” and such transaction being the “2013 Senior Notes Refinancing”); (2) a $26.4 million gain from insurance proceeds due to the settlement of the Company’s claims for business interruption and property losses as a result of the June 2011 fire at the Company’s facility in Venezuela; (3) $25.4 million of acquisition and integration costs incurred in 2013 (see note (b)(2) below) related to Products Corporation’s October 9, 2013 acquisition of The Colomer Group Participations, S.L., a Spanish company now known as Beautyge Participations, S.L. (“Colomer,” the “Colomer Acquisition” and the “Colomer Acquisition Date,” respectively); and (4) $21.4 million in restructuring and related charges, of which $20.0 million related to the Company’s exit of its direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China in 2013 and is reflected in loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes. (See Note 3, “Restructuring Charges” and Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus).
(b)Comparability of results from continuing operations for 2014 are affected by: (1) $21.3 million in restructuring charges and other, net, primarily related to the Integration Program (See Note 3, “Restructuring Charges” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus); (2) $6.4 million of acquisition and integration costs incurred during 2014 (see note (c)(3) below) related to the Colomer Acquisition; and (3) a $6.0 million foreign currency loss recognized in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of the remeasurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities (See Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus).
(c)Comparability of results from continuing operations for 2015 are affected by: (1) a $20.7 million pension lump sum settlement charge related to a one-time lump sum payment option offered to certain former employees (See Note 14, “Savings Plan, Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus); (2) a decrease in the provision for income taxes primarily driven by a non-cash benefit related to the net reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets for certain foreign jurisdictions (See Note 16, “Income Taxes” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus); (3) $10.5 million in restructuring charges and other, net, primarily related to the 2015 Efficiency Program (See Note 3, “Restructuring Charges” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus); (4) a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to goodwill for the Company’s Global Color Brands reporting unit (see Note 8,

22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus); and (5) $8.0 million of acquisition and integration costs incurred during 2015 primarily related to costs incurred in connection with the integration initiatives in connection with the Colomer Acquisition, which have included actions to integrate Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business, as well as additional restructuring actions to reduce costs across the Company’s businesses (all such actions together, the “Integration Program”). The December 31, 2015 selected balance sheet data represents amounts as adjusted beginning on January 1, 2016 following the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” (See Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus).

(d)Total current liabilities at December 31, 2013 included $58.4 million related to the non-contributed loan portion of the Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement (the “Old Non-Contributed Loan”) that remained owing from Products Corporation to various third parties and that was prepaid on May 1, 2014 prior to its scheduled maturity on October 8, 2014.
(e)Pro Forma Adjusted Net Sales is defined as Products Corporation’s net sales plus Elizabeth Arden’s Adjusted Net Sales. Adjusted Net Sales is a non-GAAP financial measure used by Elizabeth Arden. See footnote (8) under “— Summary Historical Financial and Other Data of Elizabeth Arden” for a reconciliation of Elizabeth Arden’s Adjusted Net Sales. The following table shows the reconciliation of our net sales to Pro Forma Adjusted Net Sales:

(f)Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, net income/loss or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, respectively, in the accompanying financial tables of this prospectus. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” for more information regarding the calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the calculation of “Consolidated EBITDA” (or similar financial measures) for purposes of the indenture governing the notes, the New Senior Facilities or the indenture governing the Existing Revlon Notes. See “Description of Notes.” The financial information below does not reflect the realization of any expected cost reductions or other synergies from the Acquisition. Based on our extensive integration planning, we expect to achieve $139.3 million of synergies and cost reductions relating to the Acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding to tender your initial notes and participate in the exchange offer. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In addition, the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those that we currently view to be immaterial could also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In any such case, you may lose all or a part of your investment in the notes.

Risks Related to the Transactions

Significant costs and significant indebtedness will be incurred in connection with the integration of Elizabeth Arden into our business, including legal, accounting, financial advisory and other costs.

We expect to incur significant costs in connection with integrating the operations, products and personnel of Elizabeth Arden into our business, in addition to the significant costs that we incurred related directly to completing the Transactions. These costs may include:

employee retention, redeployment, relocation or severance;
integration of information systems;
combination of corporate and administrative functions, production, sourcing and supply arrangements, sales and marketing teams and related processes;
maintenance and management of the Company’s and Elizabeth Arden’s respective distribution and license agreements and other assets; and
potential or pending litigation or other proceedings related to the Acquisition.

The costs related to the Transactions could be higher than currently estimated, depending on how difficult it will be to integrate our business with that of Elizabeth Arden, and the expected cost reductions and synergies may not be achieved.

In addition, we expect to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of Elizabeth Arden with ours, which cannot be estimated accurately at this time. While we expect to incur a significant amount of transaction fees and other costs related to the consummation of the Transactions, additional unanticipated costs may yet be incurred. Any expected elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the expected realization of other cost reductions, efficiencies and synergies related to the integration of our operations with those of Elizabeth Arden, that may offset incremental transaction and transaction-related costs over time, may not be achieved as projected, or at all.

In addition, we have incurred $503.0 million of new indebtedness in connection with the Transactions, net of debt redeemed in connection therewith (including indebtedness of Elizabeth Arden). The debt we have incurred in connection with the Transactions may limit our financial and operating flexibility, and we may incur additional debt, which could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness may have material consequences for our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. See “Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Notes.”

Integrating Elizabeth Arden’s business into our business may divert management’s attention away from operations, and we may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the two businesses.

The Transactions involved the integration of two companies that had previously operated independently. The success of the Transactions and their anticipated financial and operational benefits, including increased revenues, synergies and cost reductions, depend in part on our ability to successfully combine and integrate Elizabeth Arden’s business into ours, and there can be no assurance regarding when or the extent to which we will be able to realize these increased revenues, synergies, cost reductions or other benefits. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all.

31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Successful integration of Elizabeth Arden’s operations, products and personnel may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention, and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process, could harm our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

In addition, the overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, and competitive responses. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:

difficulties in achieving anticipated cost reductions, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination;
difficulties in the integration of operations and systems;
conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the two companies;
difficulties in the assimilation of employees and the integration of the companies’ different organizational structures;
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a larger and more complex company with increased international operations;
challenges in integrating the business culture of each company;
challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel;
coordinating a geographically dispersed organization; and
difficulties in replacing numerous systems, including those involving management information, purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, billing, employee benefits, payroll, data privacy and security and regulatory compliance, many of which may be dissimilar.

These factors could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could materially impact our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

We may not realize the anticipated synergies, net cost reductions and growth opportunities from the Acquisition.

The benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the Acquisition will depend, in part, on the ability of the combined company to realize anticipated growth opportunities, net cost reductions and synergies. Our success in realizing these growth opportunities, net cost reductions and synergies, and the timing of this realization, depends on the successful integration of our historical business and operations and the historical business and operations of Elizabeth Arden. Even if we are able to integrate the businesses and operations of Products Corporation and Elizabeth Arden successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the growth opportunities, net cost reductions and synergies that we currently expect from this integration within the anticipated time frame or at all. For example, we may be unable to eliminate duplicative costs. Moreover, we may incur substantial expenses in connection with the integration of our business and Elizabeth Arden’s business. While we anticipate that certain expenses will be incurred, such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately and may exceed current estimates. Accordingly, the benefits from the Acquisition may be offset by costs or delays incurred in integrating the businesses. The projected net cost reductions and synergies described in this prospectus are based on a number of assumptions relating to our business and Elizabeth Arden’s business. Those assumptions may be inaccurate, and, as a result, our projected net cost reductions and synergies may be inaccurate, and our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company will be subject to business uncertainties that could materially and adversely affect our business.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Acquisition on employees, customers and suppliers may have a material and adverse effect on the Company. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with us, or if customers, suppliers or others seek to change their dealings with us as a result of the Acquisition, our business could be materially and adversely impacted.

In connection with the Acquisition, we have assumed potential liabilities relating to Elizabeth Arden’s business.

In connection with the Acquisition, we have assumed potential liabilities relating to Elizabeth Arden’s business. To the extent we have not identified such liabilities or miscalculated their potential financial impact, these liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the Transactions been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the audited and unaudited financial statements of Products Corporation and Elizabeth Arden, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made in the preparation of such pro forma financial information. The application of purchase accounting for the Acquisition has also required us to make preliminary estimates with respect to the fair values of the net assets acquired, and applicable guidance does not require us to finalize such fair values until one year after the Acquisition was completed. The finalized carrying values of the net assets acquired may differ materially from our current estimates reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this prospectus. Our future reported results of operations and balance sheet data may therefore differ from those that might be expected based on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth in this prospectus.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma combined financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations. Any potential decline in the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations may have a material effect on our ability to service and ultimately repay its indebtedness. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Risks Related to the Company

The Company’s substantial indebtedness, including the indebtedness it has incurred in connection with the Transactions, could adversely affect the Company’s operations and flexibility and Products Corporation’s ability to service its debt.

The Company has substantial outstanding indebtedness following the completion of the Transactions. As of June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, we had $2,785.6 million face value of long-term outstanding indebtedness, including: (i) $450.0 million of the notes; (ii) $500.0 million of the 5¾% Senior Notes; (iii) $35.0 million of secured indebtedness under the New Revolving Credit Facility; (iv) $1,800.0 million of secured indebtedness under the New Term Loan Facility; and (v) $0.6 million aggregate principal amount of other indebtedness. If the Company is unable to increase its profitability and cash flow and sustain such increase in future periods, it could adversely affect the Company’s operations and its ability to service its debt and/or comply with the financial and/or operating covenants under its various debt instruments. See also “—Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s debt agreements limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.”

33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company is subject to the risks normally associated with substantial indebtedness, including the risk that the Company’s operating revenues will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that the Company will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness when it becomes due or, if it is unable to comply with the financial or operating covenants under its debt instruments, to obtain any necessary consents, waivers or amendments or that the terms of any such refinancing and/or consents, waivers or amendments will be less favorable than the current terms of such indebtedness. Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could also have the effect of:

limiting the Company’s ability to fund (including by obtaining additional financing) the costs and expenses of the execution of the Company’s business strategy (including activities related to integrating the Elizabeth Arden business into the Company’s business), future working capital, capital expenditures, advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses, new product development costs, purchases and reconfigurations of wall displays, acquisitions, investments, restructuring programs and other general corporate requirements;
requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on its indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of the Company’s cash flow for the execution of its business strategy and for other general corporate purposes;
placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt;
exposing the Company to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under the financial and operating covenants contained in its debt instruments;
limiting the Company’s flexibility in responding to changes in its business and the industry in which it operates; and
making the Company more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic conditions or a downturn in its business.

Although the agreements that govern the Company’s indebtedness, including the agreements governing the New Senior Facilities and the indentures governing the notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes, limit the Company’s ability to borrow funds, under certain circumstances the Company is allowed to borrow a significant amount of additional money, some of which, in certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, could be secured indebtedness. To the extent that more debt is added to the Company’s current debt levels, the risks described above would increase further.

The Company’s ability to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness depends on many factors.

The notes will mature in 2024, the New Revolving Credit Facility will mature not later than 2021, the New Term Loan Facility will mature not later than 2023 and the 5¾% Senior Notes mature in 2021. Products Corporation currently anticipates that, in order to pay the principal amount of its outstanding indebtedness if accelerated upon the occurrence of any event of default, or to repurchase either the notes or the 5¾% Senior Notes if a change of control occurs or if accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, or in the event that Products Corporation’s cash flows from operations are insufficient to allow it to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness at maturity, the Company may be required to refinance its indebtedness, seek to sell assets or operations, seek to sell additional debt securities or seek additional capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, Parent or from the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties. The Company may be unable to take any of these actions due to a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in its debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance, additional capital contributions or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the various debt instruments then in effect, including restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and/or related party transactions included in such debt instruments. Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable it to comply with the financial covenants under the New Senior Facilities if the actions do not result in sufficient savings or generate a sufficient amount of additional capital, as the case may be.

34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

None of the Company’s affiliates are required to make any capital contributions, loans or other payments to it regarding its obligations on its indebtedness. The Company may not be able to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness using any of the above actions because, under certain circumstances, the indenture, the indenture governing the 5¾% Senior Notes (the “5¾% Senior Notes Indenture”) any of the Company’s other debt instruments (including the New Senior Facilities) or the debt instruments of the Company’s subsidiaries then in effect may not permit the Company to take such actions. See also “—Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s debt agreements limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.”

The future state of the credit markets, including any volatility and/or tightening of the credit markets and reduction in credit availability, could adversely impact the Company’s ability to refinance or replace its outstanding indebtedness at or prior to their respective maturity dates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Restrictions and covenants in the Company’s debt agreements will limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.

The agreements that govern the Company’s indebtedness, including the notes, 5¾% Senior Notes and the New Senior Facilities, contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit Products Corporation’s ability (subject in each case to limited exceptions) to, among other things:

borrow money;
use assets as security in other borrowings or transactions;
pay dividends on stock or purchase stock;
sell assets and use the proceeds from such sales;
enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
make certain investments;
prepay, redeem or repurchase specified indebtedness; and
permit restrictions on the payment of dividends to the Company by its subsidiaries.

These covenants affect the Company’s operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting its ability to incur expenses and indebtedness that could otherwise be used to fund the costs of executing the Company’s business strategy and to grow the Company’s business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes.

A breach under the New Senior Facilities would permit the Company’s lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding thereunder. The acceleration of amounts outstanding under the New Senior Facilities would in certain circumstances constitute an event of default under the notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes. An event of default under the notes or the 5¾% Senior Notes would permit the trustee or a requisite number of holders to accelerate payment thereunder. In addition, holders of the notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes may require Products Corporation to repurchase their notes or 5¾% Senior Notes, as the case may be, in the event of a change of control under the relevant indenture. Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such breach or change of control to repay, in full or in part, the borrowings under the New Senior Facilities or to repay, repurchase or redeem, in full or in part, the notes and/or the 5¾% Senior Notes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Events beyond the Company’s control could impair the Company’s operating performance, which could affect Company’s ability to comply with the terms of the Company’s debt instruments. Such events may include decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences; inventory management by the Company’s customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company’s customers; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, acquisition-related integration costs, advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company’s customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the Company’s anticipated level of expenses.

Under such circumstances, the Company may be unable to comply with the provisions of its debt instruments. If the Company is unable to satisfy such covenants or other provisions at any future time, it would need to seek an amendment or waiver of such financial covenants or other provisions. The respective lenders under the New Senior Facilities may not consent to any amendment or waiver requests that the Company may make in the future, and, if they do consent, they may only do so on terms that are unfavorable to the Company and/or the Parent.

In the event that the Company is unable to obtain any such waiver or amendment, its inability to meet the financial covenants or other provisions of the New Senior Facilities would constitute an event of default under the New Senior Facilities, which would permit the bank lenders to accelerate the New Senior Facilities and, under certain circumstances, would constitute an event of default under the notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes. An event of default under the notes or the 5¾% Senior Notes would permit the trustee or the requisite number of holders thereof to accelerate payment of the principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest on the notes and/or the 5¾% Senior Notes, as the case may be.

Products Corporation’s assets and/or cash flow and/or that of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under its debt instruments, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of default, and if the Company is required to repay, repurchase and/or redeem its outstanding notes or 5¾% Senior Notes or repay the New Senior Facilities upon a change of control, it may be unable to refinance or restructure the payments on such debt. Further, if the Company is unable to repay, refinance or restructure its indebtedness under the New Senior Facilities, the lenders could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness, subject to certain conditions and limitations as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. As described above, the consequences of complying with the foregoing restrictions, covenants and limitations under the Company’s debt agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Limits on the Company’s borrowing capacity under the New Revolving Credit Facility may affect the Company’s ability to finance its operations.

As of June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, the Company would have had $35.0 million outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility. While the New Revolving Credit Facility provides for up to $400.0 million of commitments, the Company’s ability to borrow funds under such facility is limited by a borrowing base determined relative to the value, from time to time, of certain eligible assets. Elizabeth Arden and certain of its subsidiaries are guarantors of the notes, the 5¾% Senior Notes and the New Senior Facilities. Substantially all of the assets of such subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the New Senior Facilities, thereby increasing the value of the assets supporting the borrowing base under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

If the value of these eligible assets is not sufficient to support a $400.0 million borrowing base, the Company will not have full access to the New Revolving Credit Facility, but rather could have access to a lesser amount determined by the borrowing base. As the Company continues to manage its working capital, this could reduce the borrowing base under the New Revolving Credit Facility. Further, if the Company borrows funds under such facility, subsequent changes in the value or eligibility of the assets within the borrowing base could cause it to be required to pay down the amounts outstanding under such facility so that there is no amount outstanding in excess of the then-existing borrowing base.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company’s ability to borrow under the New Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon its compliance with other covenants in the agreements that govern the New Senior Facilities. Because of these limitations, the Company may not always be able to meet its cash requirements with funds borrowed under the New Revolving Credit Facility, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

At June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility was $1,800.0 million, respectively, with the Company having a pro forma liquidity position of $557.9 million, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) of $204.9 million, as well as $353.0 million in available borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, assuming the full $400.0 million availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to $12.0 million of undrawn outstanding letters of credit and $35.0 million then drawn under the New Revolving Credit Facility at such date).

The New Revolving Credit Facility has been syndicated to a group of banks and financial institutions. Each bank is responsible to lend its portion of the $400.0 million commitment if and when Products Corporation seeks to draw under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The lenders may assign their commitments to other banks and financial institutions in certain cases without prior notice to the Company. If a lender is unable to meet its lending commitment, then the other lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility have the right, but not the obligation, to lend additional funds to make up for the defaulting lender’s commitment, if any. It is possible that economic conditions and potential volatility in the financial markets, among other factors, could impact the liquidity and financial condition of certain banks and financial institutions. If one or more lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility are unable to fulfill their commitment to lend, such inability would impact the Company’s liquidity and, depending upon the amount involved and the Company’s liquidity requirements, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to fund its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

A substantial portion of the Company’s indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates.

A substantial portion of the Company’s indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates, which makes the Company more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic conditions, increases in prevailing interest rates or a downturn in the Company’s business. The Company has hedged some of this risk using its existing $400 million floating-to-fixed interest rate swap. As of June 30, 2016, including the effect of the aforementioned floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, on a pro forma basis, $1,447.1 million of the Company’s total indebtedness or approximately 52.9% of its total indebtedness, was subject to floating interest rates.

As of June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, $1,800.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility bore interest, at the Company’s option, at Adjusted LIBOR plus 3.5% or an alternate base rate plus 2.5%. As of June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin.

At June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, Adjusted LIBOR and the alternate base rate for the New Term Loan Facility were 0.65% and 3.5%, respectively.

If any of LIBOR, the prime rate or the federal funds effective rate increases, Products Corporation’s debt service costs will increase to the extent that Products Corporation has elected such rates for its outstanding loans. Based on the amounts outstanding under the New Senior Facilities, and other short-term borrowings (which, in the aggregate, are Products Corporation’s only debt currently subject to floating interest rates) as of June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, a 1% increase in LIBOR would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $14.7 million. Increased debt service costs would adversely affect the Company’s cash flow and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of its products. Disruptions at this facility and/or at other Company or third-party facilities at which the Company’s products are manufactured could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company produces a substantial portion of its products at its Oxford, North Carolina facility. Significant unscheduled downtime at this facility, or at other Company facilities and/or third-party facilities at which the Company’s products are manufactured, whether due to equipment breakdowns, power failures, natural disasters, weather conditions hampering delivery schedules, intermittent technology disruptions or other disruptions, including those caused by transitioning manufacturing across these facilities, or any other cause could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to provide products to its customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s sales, business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Additionally, if product sales exceed the Company’s forecasts, internal or third-party production capacities and/or the Company’s ability to procure sufficient levels of finished goods, raw materials and/or components from third-party suppliers, the Company could, from time to time, not have an adequate supply of products to meet customer demands, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company’s new product introductions may not be as successful as the Company anticipates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company has a rigorous process for the continuous development and evaluation of new product concepts, led by executives in marketing, sales, research and development, product development, operations, law and finance. Each new product launch, including those resulting from this new product development process, carries risks, as well as the possibility of unexpected consequences, including:

the acceptance of the Company’s new product launches by, and sales of such new products to, the Company’s customers may not be as high as the Company anticipates;
the Company’s marketing, promotional, advertising and/or pricing strategies for its new products may be less effective than planned and may fail to effectively reach the targeted consumer base or engender the desired consumption of the Company’s products by consumers;
the rate of purchases by the Company’s consumers may not be as high as the Company anticipates;
the Company’s wall displays to showcase its new products may fail to achieve their intended effects;
the Company may experience out-of-stocks and/or product returns exceeding its expectations as a result of the Company’s new product launches or space reconfigurations or as a result of reductions in retail display space by the Company’s customers;
the Company’s net sales may also be impacted by inventory management by its customers or changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by its customers;
the Company may incur costs exceeding its expectations as a result of the continued development and launch of new products, including, for example, unanticipated levels of advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses, sales return expenses or other costs related to launching new products;
the Company may experience a decrease in sales of certain of the Company’s existing products as a result of newly-launched products, the impact of which could be exacerbated by shelf space limitations and/or any shelf space loss. See also “— Competition in the cosmetics, hair care, beauty care, fragrance and skin care business could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows;”
the Company’s product pricing strategies for new product launches may not be accepted by its customers and/or its consumers, which may result in the Company’s sales being less than it anticipates;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Company may experience a decrease in sales of certain of the Company’s products as a result of counterfeit products and/or products sold outside of their intended territories; and/or
any delays or difficulties impacting the Company’s ability, or the ability of the Company’s suppliers, to timely manufacture, distribute and ship products or raw materials, as the case may be, displays or display walls in connection with launching new products, such as due to inclement weather conditions or other delays or difficulties such as those discussed under “— The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of the Company’s products. Disruptions at this facility and/or at other Company or third-party facilities at which the Company’s products are manufactured, could affect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows,” could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to ship and deliver products to meet its customers’ reset deadlines.

Each of the risks referred to above could delay or impede the Company’s ability to achieve its sales objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company’s ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or Products Corporation may be unable to meet the requirements of the covenants under the New Senior Facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company currently expects that operating revenues, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under the New Senior Facilities and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2016, including cash requirements for the payment of expenses in connection with the execution of the Company’s business strategy and its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditure requirements, debt service payments and costs, tax payments, pension and post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs, severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs and debt and/or equity repurchases, if any.

However, if the Company’s anticipated level of revenue is not achieved because of, for example, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences; inventory management by the Company’s customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company’s customers; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, for advertising, promotional or marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company’s customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet its cash requirements. In addition, such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company’s revenues and could have a material adverse effect on Products Corporation’s ability to comply with certain covenants under the New Senior Facilities. See also “Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s debt agreements limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply,” which discusses, among other things, the consequences of noncompliance with Products Corporation’s debt covenants.

39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Company’s operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds available for borrowing are insufficient to cover the Company’s expenses and/or are insufficient to enable Products Corporation to comply with the covenants under the New Senior Facilities, the Company could be required to adopt one or more of the alternatives listed below:

delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company’s business strategy;
reducing or delaying purchases of wall displays and/or expenses related to the Company’s advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities;
reducing or delaying capital spending;
implementing new restructuring programs;
refinancing Products Corporation’s indebtedness;
selling assets or operations;
seeking additional capital contributions and/or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties;
selling additional debt securities; and/or
reducing other discretionary spending.

The Company may not be able to take any of these actions, because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in its debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or a debt issuance, additional capital contributions or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the Company’s various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and/or related party transactions. If the Company is required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable Products Corporation to comply with the financial covenants under the New Senior Facilities if the actions do not result in sufficient savings or generate a sufficient amount of additional capital, as the case may be. See also “—Restrictions and covenants in the Company’s debt agreements limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply,” which discusses, among other things, the consequences of noncompliance with the Company’s debt covenants.

Economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and/or on the financial condition of its customers and suppliers.

Economic conditions in the U.S. and/or other countries where the Company operates have contributed and may continue to contribute to high unemployment levels, lower consumer spending and reduced credit availability. Such economic conditions have impacted and could in the future impact business and consumer confidence. These economic conditions may be exacerbated by geopolitical events, including the pending withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These conditions could have an impact on customer and/or consumer purchases of the Company’s products, which could result in a reduction of the Company’s net sales, operating income and/or cash flows. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and other financial markets and economic conditions could, among other things, impair the financial condition of one or more of the Company’s customers or suppliers, thereby increasing the risk of customer bad debts or non-performance by suppliers. These conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business, which could reduce the price of the notes.

The Company is a multinational company with worldwide operations, including material business operations in Europe. The Company’s European business has increased as a result of the Acquisition. In June 2016, a majority of voters in the United Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union in a national referendum. The referendum was advisory, and the terms of any withdrawal are subject to a negotiation period that could last at least two years after the government of the United Kingdom formally initiates a withdrawal process. Nevertheless, the referendum has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union and has given rise to calls for the governments of other European Union member states to consider withdrawal from the European Union.

These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates and credit ratings may be especially subject to increased market volatility. Lack of clarity about future United Kingdom laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate in the event of a withdrawal, including financial laws and regulations, tax and free trade agreements, intellectual property rights, supply chain logistics, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, immigration laws and employment laws, could decrease foreign direct investment in the United Kingdom, increase costs, depress economic activity, restrict the Company’s access to capital and make regulatory compliance and the distribution, sourcing, manufacturing and sales and marketing of the Company’s products more difficult or costly. If the United Kingdom and the European Union are unable to negotiate acceptable withdrawal terms or if other European Union member states pursue withdrawal, barrier-free access between the United Kingdom and other European Union member states or among the European economic area overall could be diminished or eliminated. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and negatively affect the price of the notes.

The Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its net sales, and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce the Company’s net sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 18%, 16% and 20% of Products Corporation’s worldwide net sales for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and 12%, 12% and 12% of Elizabeth Arden’s worldwide net sales for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The Company expects that, for future periods, Walmart and a small number of other customers will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company’s net sales. The Company may be affected by changes in the policies and demands of its customers relating to service levels, inventory de-stocking, pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies or limitations on access to wall display space. As is customary in the consumer products industry, none of the Company’s customers is under any obligation to continue purchasing products from the Company in the future.

The loss of Walmart and/or one or more of the Company’s other customers that may account for a significant portion of the Company’s net sales, or any significant decrease in sales to these customers, including as a result of consolidation among such customers, inventory management by these customers, changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by such customers or space reconfigurations by the Company’s customers or any significant decrease in the Company’s display space, could reduce the Company’s net sales and/or operating income and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Declines in the financial markets may result in increased pension expense and increased cash contributions to the Company’s pension plans.

Declines in the U.S. and global financial markets could result in significant declines in the Company’s pension plan assets and result in increased pension expense and cash contributions to the Company’s pension plans. Interest rate levels will affect the discount rate used to value the Company’s year-end pension benefit obligations. One or more of these factors, individually or taken together, could impact future required cash contributions to the Company’s pension plans and pension expense. Any one or more of these conditions could reduce the Company’s available liquidity, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company may be unable to maintain or increase its sales through the Company’s primary retailers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

A decrease in consumer demand in the U.S. and/or internationally for beauty care products, inventory management by the Company’s customers, credit risks associated with the financial condition of our customers, changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers (such as the development and/or continued expansion of private label or their own store-owned brands), a reduction in display space by the Company’s customers and/or a change in consumers’ purchasing habits, such as by buying types of cosmetics and beauty care products that the Company does not offer, could result in decreased sales of the Company’s products, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Competition in the cosmetics, hair care, beauty care, fragrance and skin care business could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The cosmetics, hair care, beauty care, fragrance and skin care business is highly competitive. The Company competes primarily by:

developing quality products with innovative performance features, shades, finishes and packaging;
educating consumers and salon professionals about the benefits of the Company’s products;
anticipating and responding to changing consumer and salon professional demands in a timely manner, including as to the timing of new product introductions and line extensions;
offering attractively priced products, relative to the product benefits provided;
maintaining favorable brand recognition;
generating competitive margins and inventory turns for the Company’s customers by providing relevant products and executing effective pricing, incentive and promotional programs and marketing and advertising campaigns;
ensuring product availability through effective planning and replenishment collaboration with the Company’s customers;
providing strong and effective advertising, promotion, marketing and merchandising support;
maintaining an effective sales force and distribution network; and
obtaining and retaining sufficient display space, optimal in-store positioning and effective presentation of the Company’s products on-shelf.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An increase in or change in the current level of competition that the Company faces could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

In addition to competing with expanding private label and store-owned brands in the Consumer segment, the Company competes against a number of multi-national manufacturers, some of which are larger and have substantially greater resources than the Company, and which may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively than the Company on advertising, promotions and/or marketing activities and have more flexibility than the Company to respond to changing business and economic conditions.

Additionally, the Company’s major customers periodically assess the allocation of display space among competitors and in the course of doing so could elect to reduce the display space allocated to the Company’s products, if, for example, the Company’s marketing, promotional, advertising and/or pricing strategies for its new and/or existing products are less effective than planned, fail to effectively reach the targeted consumer base, fail to engender the desired consumption of the Company’s products by consumers and/or fail to sustain productive levels of consumption dollar share; and/or the rate of purchases by the Company’s consumers are not as high as the Company anticipates. Within the Company’s Consumer segment, among the factors used by the Company’s major customers in assessing the allocation of display space is a brand’s share of the color cosmetics category. The Company’s color cosmetics brands have experienced, over time, year-over-year declines in their share of the color cosmetics category in the U.S. and it is possible that the Company may continue to experience further share declines. Further declines in the Company’s share for one or more of its principal brands, including with respect to the Company’s Almay brand, could, among other things, contribute to a loss of display space and/or decreased revenues. Any significant loss of display space could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Elizabeth Arden depends on various brand licenses and distribution arrangements for a significant portion of its sales, and the loss of one or more licenses or distribution arrangements could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Elizabeth Arden’s rights to market and sell certain of its prestige fragrance brands are derived from licenses and other distribution arrangements from unaffiliated third parties and its business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses and distribution arrangements on terms favorable to Elizabeth Arden. Each license is for a specific term and may have optional renewal terms. In addition, such licenses and distribution arrangements may be subject to Elizabeth Arden satisfying required minimum royalty payments, minimum advertising and promotional expenditures and satisfying minimum sales requirements. Just as the loss of a license or other significant distribution arrangement may have a material adverse effect on the Company, a renewal on less favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The success of Elizabeth Arden depends, in part, on the demand for heritage and designer fragrance products. Such risks could also negatively impact the Company.

Elizabeth Arden has license agreements to manufacture, market and distribute a number of heritage and designer fragrance products, including those of Juicy Couture, John Varvatos, Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ed Hardy, Lucky, Halston, Geoffrey Beene and Wildfox Couture. In fiscal 2016, Elizabeth Arden derived approximately 42% of its net sales from heritage and designer fragrance brands. The demand for these products is, to some extent, dependent on the appeal to consumers of the particular designer or talent and the designer’s or talent’s reputation. To the extent that the heritage or designer fragrance category or a particular designer or talent ceases to be appealing to consumers or a designer’s or talent’s reputation is adversely affected, sales of the related products and the value of the brands can decrease materially which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In addition, under certain circumstances, lower net sales may shorten the duration of the applicable license agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The failure to realize the anticipated benefits of Elizabeth Arden’s 2014 Performance Improvement Plan, 2016 Business Transformation Program, or other restructuring or cost reduction initiatives could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

During fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016, Elizabeth Arden undertook broad restructuring and cost reduction programs that are intended to reduce the size and cost of its overhead structure and exit low-return businesses, customers and brands to improve gross margins and profitability in the long term. Elizabeth Arden’s 2014 Performance Improvement Plan included the exiting of certain unprofitable retail doors and fragrance license agreements, changes in customer, distribution and supply chain relationships, the discontinuation of certain products, headcount reductions, and the closing of Elizabeth Arden’s affiliate in Puerto Rico. Elizabeth Arden’s 2016 Business Transformation Program is intended to further align its organizational structure and distribution arrangements with the current needs and demands of its business in order to improve its go-to-trade capability and execution and to streamline Elizabeth Arden’s organization. Elizabeth Arden may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits of these initiatives. The failure to realize such anticipated benefits, which could result from Elizabeth Arden’s inability to execute plans, global or local economic conditions, competition, changes in the beauty industry and other factors described herein, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company’s foreign operations are subject to a variety of social, political and economic risks and have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and the value of its foreign assets.

As of June 30, 2016, on a combined basis, the Company’s products were sold in approximately 150 countries. The Company is exposed to risks associated with social, political and economic conditions, including inflation, inherent in operating in foreign countries, including those in Asia (including China, Japan and Korea), Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe (including Russia), Mexico, South Africa and South America (including Venezuela and Argentina), which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Such risks include hyperinflation, foreign currency devaluation, foreign currency controls, government-mandated pricing controls, currency remittance restrictions, changes in tax laws, changes in consumer purchasing habits (including as to retailer preferences), as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in U.S. laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.

These risks and limitations could affect the ability of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries to obtain sufficient capital to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business. Limitations and the difficulties that certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries may experience on the free flow of funds to and from these foreign subsidiaries could restrict the Company’s ability to respond timely to challenging business conditions or changes in operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Products Corporation’s net sales outside of the United States for each of 2015, 2014 and 2013 represented approximately 45%, 47% and 44% of Products Corporation’s total consolidated net sales, respectively. Elizabeth Arden’s net sales outside of the United States for each of 2016, 2015 and 2014 represented approximately 43%, 42% and 43% of Elizabeth Arden’s total consolidated net sales, respectively. During 2015, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates adversely affected, and they may continue to adversely affect, the Company’s results of operations and the value of the Company’s foreign net assets, which in turn could cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported net sales and earnings and the comparability of period-to-period results of operations.

Products Corporation enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge certain net cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts are entered into primarily for the purpose of hedging anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in foreign currencies and generally have maturities of less than one year. At June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, the notional amount of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts was $145.1 million. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts may not adequately protect the Company against the negative effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which could adversely affect the Company’s overall liquidity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Terrorist attacks, acts of war or military actions and/or other civil unrest may adversely affect the territories in which the Company operates and the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

On September 11, 2001, the U.S. was the target of terrorist attacks of unprecedented scope. These attacks contributed to major instability in the U.S. and other financial markets and reduced consumer confidence. These terrorist attacks, as well as subsequent terrorist attacks (such as those that have occurred in Nice, France; Orlando, Florida; Istanbul, Turkey; Paris, France; Brussels, Belgium; Benghazi, Libya; Madrid, Spain; and London, England), attempted terrorist attacks, military responses to terrorist attacks, other military actions and/or civil unrest such as that occurring in the Ukraine, Venezuela, Turkey, Syria, Iraq and surrounding areas, may adversely affect prevailing economic conditions, resulting in work stoppages, reduced consumer spending and/or reduced demand for the Company’s products. These developments subject the Company’s worldwide operations to increased risks and, depending on their magnitude, could reduce the Company’s net sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company’s products are subject to federal, state and international regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company is subject to regulation by the FTC and the FDA, in the U.S., as well as various other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities, including those in the EU, Canada and other countries in which the Company operates. The Company’s Oxford, North Carolina manufacturing facility is registered with the FDA as a drug manufacturing establishment, permitting the manufacture of cosmetics and other beauty-care products that contain over-the-counter drug ingredients, such as sunscreens, anti-perspirant deodorants and anti-dandruff hair-care products. Regulations in the U.S., the EU, Canada and other countries in which the Company operates that are designed to protect consumers or the environment have an increasing influence on the Company’s product claims, ingredients and packaging. To the extent federal, state, local and/or foreign regulatory changes occur in the future, they could require the Company to reformulate or discontinue certain of its products or revise its product packaging or labeling, any of which could result in, among other things, increased costs to the Company, delays in product launches, product returns or recalls and lower net sales, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Any violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other similar foreign anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from operations outside the U.S. and the Company has significant facilities outside the U.S., which exposes the Company to complex foreign and U.S. regulations inherent in conducting international business transactions. The Company is subject to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other similar foreign anti-corruption laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business and other types of improper payments. While the Company’s employees and agents are required to comply with these laws and the Company has developed policies and procedures to facilitate compliance with such laws, there is no assurance that the Company’s policies and procedures will prevent all violations of these laws, despite the Company’s long-standing commitment to conducting its business and achieving its objectives by maintaining the highest level of ethical standards and legal compliance. The SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice, and their foreign counterparts, have increased their enforcement activities with respect to the FCPA and similar foreign anti-corruption laws and any violation of these laws or allegations of such, may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions, as well as other substantial costs and penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The failure of the Company’s information technology systems and/or difficulties or delays in implementing new information technology systems could disrupt the Company’s business operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The operation of the Company’s business depends on the Company’s information technology systems. The Company relies on its information technology systems to effectively manage, among other things, the Company’s business data, communications, supply chain, inventory management, customer order entry and order fulfillment, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, human resources benefits and payroll management, compliance with regulatory, legal and tax requirements and other processes and data necessary to manage the Company’s business. The failure of the Company’s information technology systems, including any failure of the Company’s current systems and/or as a result of transitioning to additional or replacement information technology systems, as the case may be, to perform as the Company anticipates could disrupt the Company’s business and could result in, among other things, transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, loss of data and the loss of sales and customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In addition, the Company’s information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, fire, natural disasters, power outages, systems failure, system conversions, security breaches, cyber-attacks, viruses and/or human error. In any such event, the Company could be required to make a significant investment to fix or replace its information technology systems, and the Company could experience interruptions in its ability to service its customers. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

In addition, as part of our normal business activities, the Company collects and stores certain confidential information, including personal information with respect to customers and employees, and the success of its e-commerce operations depends on the secure transmission of confidential and personal data over public networks, including the use of cashless payments. The Company’s information technology systems, or those of its third-party service providers, may be accessed by unauthorized users such as cyber criminals as a result of a failure, disruption, cyberattack or other security breach. As techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, a failure, disruption, cyberattack or other security breach of the Company’s information technology systems or infrastructure, or those of its third-party service providers, may go undetected for an extended period and could result in the theft, transfer, unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of Company, employee, representative, customer, vendor and/or other third-party data, including sensitive or confidential data, personal information and/or intellectual property. Any failure on the part of the Company or its third-party services providers to properly maintain the security of our confidential data and our employees’ and customers’ personal information could result in business disruption, damage to the Company’s reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation with potentially large costs and other competitive disadvantages, and could accordingly have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The Company is in the process of implementing a company-wide SAP enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The Company’s anticipated company-wide implementation of this SAP ERP system may not result in improvements that outweigh its costs and may disrupt the Company’s operations. This system implementation subjects the Company to substantial costs, the majority of which are capital expenditures, and inherent risks associated with migrating from the Company’s legacy systems. These costs and risks could include, but are not limited to:

inability to fill customer orders accurately or on a timely basis, or at all;
inability to process payments to vendors accurately or in a timely manner;
disruption of the Company’s internal control structure;
inability to fulfill the Company’s SEC or other governmental reporting requirements in a timely or accurate manner;

46

TABLE OF CONTENTS

inability to fulfill federal, state and local tax filing requirements in a timely or accurate manner;
increased demands on management and staff time to the detriment of other corporate initiatives; and
significant capital and operating expenditures.

If the Company is unable to successfully plan, design or implement this new SAP ERP system, in whole or in part, or experience unanticipated difficulties or delays in doing so, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The illegal distribution and sale by third parties of counterfeit versions of the Company’s products or the unauthorized diversion by third parties of the Company’s products could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and a negative impact on the Company’s reputation and business.

Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of the Company’s products. These counterfeit products may be inferior in terms of quality and other characteristics compared to the Company’s authentic products and/or the counterfeit products could pose safety risks that the Company’s authentic products would not otherwise present to consumers. Consumers could confuse counterfeit products with the Company’s authentic products, which could damage or diminish the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands and cause consumers to refrain from purchasing the Company’s products in the future, which could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.

A substantial portion of the products that the Company sells under its Professional segment are sold to professional salon distributors and/or wholesalers. Products sold to these customers are meant to be used exclusively by salons and individual salon professionals or are sold exclusively to the retail consumers of these salons. Despite the Company’s efforts to prevent diversion of such products from these customers, incidents have occurred and continue to occur whereby the Company’s products are sold to sales outlets other than the intended salons and salon professionals, such as to general merchandise retailers or unapproved outlets. In some instances, these diverted products may be old, damaged or otherwise adulterated, which could damage or diminish the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands. In addition, such diversion may result in lower net sales of the Company’s products if consumers choose to purchase diverted products and/or choose to purchase products manufactured or sold by the Company’s competitors because of any perceived damage or diminishment to the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands.

The Company believes that its trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights are extremely important to the Company’s success and its competitive position. The Company devotes significant resources to registering and protecting its intellectual property rights and maintaining the positive image of its brands. The Company’s trademark and patent applications may fail to result in issued registrations or provide the scope of coverage sought. Unplanned increases in legal fees and other costs associated with enforcing and/or defending the Company’s trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property rights could result in higher than expected operating expenses. The Company has been unable to eliminate, and may in the future be unable to eliminate, all counterfeiting activities, unauthorized product diversion and infringement of its trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.

The Company’s success depends, in part, on the quality, efficacy and safety of its products.

The Company’s success depends, in part, on the quality, efficacy and safety of its products. If its products are found or alleged to be defective or unsafe, or if they fail to meet customer or consumer standards, the Company’s relationships with customers or consumers could suffer, the appeal of one or more of its brands could be diminished, and the Company could lose sales and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company’s success largely depends upon its ability to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce, as well as effectively implement succession planning for its senior management team, and, as such, the Company’s inability to do so could adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

The continued execution of the Company’s business strategy largely depends on the Company’s ability to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce, as well as effectively implement succession planning for its senior management team. Unexpected levels of employee turnover or the Company’s failure to maintain adequate succession planning procedures to effectively transition current management leadership positions and/or the Company’s failure to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce could adversely affect the Company’s institutional knowledge base and/or competitive advantage. If the Company is unable to attract, hire and/or retain talented and highly qualified senior management, other key employees and/or a highly skilled and diverse workforce, or if the Company is unable to effectively provide for the succession of its senior management team, it could adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock and Products Corporation’s capital stock are pledged to secure various of Parent’s and/or other of the Company’s affiliates’ obligations and foreclosure upon these shares or dispositions of shares could result in the acceleration of debt under the notes, the 5¾% Senior Notes and the New Senior Facilities and could have other consequences.

All of Products Corporation’s shares of common stock have been pledged to secure Parent’s guarantee under the New Senior Facilities. MacAndrews & Forbes has advised the Company that it has pledged shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock to secure certain obligations of MacAndrews & Forbes. Additional shares of Parent and shares of common stock of intermediate holding companies between Parent and MacAndrews & Forbes may from time to time be pledged to secure obligations of MacAndrews & Forbes. A default under any of these obligations that are secured by the pledged shares could cause a foreclosure with respect to such shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock, Products Corporation’s common stock or stock of intermediate holding companies between Parent and MacAndrews & Forbes.

A foreclosure upon any such shares of common stock or dispositions of shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock, Products Corporation’s common stock or stock of intermediate holding companies between Parent and MacAndrews & Forbes that are beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes could, in a sufficient amount, constitute a “change of control” under the New Senior Facilities, the notes and/or the 5¾% Senior Notes. A change of control constitutes an event of default under the New Senior Facilities that would permit Products Corporation’s lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding under such facilities. In addition, holders of the notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase their respective notes or 5¾% Senior Notes, as the case may be, under those circumstances.

Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such change of control to repay in full the borrowings under the New Senior Facilities and/or to repurchase or redeem the notes and/or the 5¾% Senior Notes. See also “—The Company’s ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or the requirements of the covenants under the New Senior Facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.”

MacAndrews & Forbes has the power to direct and control the Company’s business.

MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Mr. Perelman, through MacAndrews & Forbes, beneficially owned approximately 77.5% of Parent’s outstanding Class A Common Stock on June 30, 2016. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to control the election of the entire Board of Directors of Parent and of Products Corporation’s Board of Directors (as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent) and controls the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Parent’s and Products Corporation’s stockholders, including the approval of mergers, consolidations, sales of some, substantially all or all of the Company’s assets, issuances of capital stock and similar transactions.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness and the Notes

We may incur substantially more debt, including secured debt, or take other actions which may affect our ability to satisfy our obligations under the notes and our other indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including subsidiary indebtedness and secured indebtedness, to which the notes would be effectively subordinated. The terms of the indenture limit, but do not prohibit, us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness, but these limits are subject to significant exceptions and do not limit liabilities that do not constitute debt. See “Description of Notes.” If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the notes and the guarantees, the holders of that indebtedness will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes and the guarantees in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks would increase commensurately.

We have the capacity to make certain payments, including dividends, under the indenture.

The indenture limits our ability to make certain payments, including dividends or distributions in respect of shares of our capital stock, the purchase, redemption, or retirement of any equity interests, and restricted investments. However, these limitations are subject to a number of exceptions, including certain exceptions based on a calculation of our net income, equity issuances, receipt of capital contributions and return on certain investments subsequent to the issue date of the initial notes. Accordingly, we have the capacity to make certain restricted payments (a portion of which is available only upon achievement of a minimum fixed charge coverage test) under the indenture that governs the notes (in addition to certain permitted investments). See “Description of Notes—Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments.”

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. If we fail to generate sufficient cash flow from future operations, we may have to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or seek to obtain additional financing.

We expect to obtain the funds to pay our expenses and the amounts due under the notes and our other indebtedness primarily from operations. Our ability to meet our expenses and make these payments thus depends on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, which could result in our being unable to pay amounts due under our outstanding indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs, such as future capital expenditures. If we do not have sufficient cash flow from operations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our then-existing indebtedness (including the notes), sell assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures or seek to raise additional capital, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Our ability to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements, including the indenture governing the notes, may restrict us from adopting any of these activities. Any failure to make scheduled payments of interest or principal on our outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could negatively impact our ability to incur additional indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to generate sufficient cash flow or to achieve any of these alternatives could materially adversely affect the value of the notes, our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, and our ability to pay the amounts due under the notes and our other indebtedness.

In addition, if we are unable to meet our obligations under the notes, the holders of the notes will have the right to cause the entire principal amount of the notes to become immediately due and payable. If the amounts outstanding under our debt instruments are accelerated, we cannot assure you that our assets will be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to holders of our indebtedness, including holders of the notes.

49

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our credit ratings may not reflect the risks of investing in the notes.

Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when they become due and include many subjective factors. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the value of the notes. Also, these credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of risks relating to the structure of the notes. Agency ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing organization. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency’s rating. Our credit ratings may not remain in effect for any given period of time, and such ratings may be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency, if, in that rating agency’s judgment, circumstances so warrant. Our credit ratings may not reflect all of the factors that would be important to holders of the notes. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect the value of the notes, may increase our borrowing costs and may negatively impact our ability to incur additional debt.

We rely in part on our subsidiaries for funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including the notes and our other indebtedness.

We conduct a significant portion of our activities through subsidiaries. We will depend in part on those subsidiaries for dividends and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on the notes. We cannot assure you that the earnings from, or other available assets of, these operating subsidiaries, together with our operations, will be sufficient to enable us to pay principal or interest on the notes when due.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes and similar laws may permit courts, under specific circumstances, to avoid the notes and the guarantees related to the notes, to require noteholders to return payments received from us or the guarantors, and to take other actions detrimental to the noteholders.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the notes, the delivery of any guarantees of the notes, including guarantees (if any) that may be entered into under the terms of the indenture. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state, the issuance of the notes and the delivery of guarantees related to the notes could be avoided as fraudulent transfers or conveyances if a court determined that Products Corporation, at the time it issued the notes or any of the guarantors, at the time it delivered the applicable guarantee (or, in some jurisdictions, at the time payment became due under the notes or a guarantee thereof):

issued the notes or provided the applicable guarantee, as the case may be, with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding any present or future creditor; or
received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for issuing the notes or providing such guarantee, as the case may be; and
it was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such issuance or provision; or
it was engaged in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
it intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

In addition, any payment by the debtor or guarantors under the notes or guarantee of the notes could be voided and required to be returned to the debtor or guarantors, as the case may be, or deposited in a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the debtor or guarantors.

50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for such guarantee if such guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes and/or such guarantee. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether any fraudulent transfer has occurred such that we cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether Products Corporation or the guarantors was solvent at the relevant time which, if applicable in a particular jurisdiction, may be when payment became due under the notes or a guarantee. Regardless of the actual standard applied by the court, we cannot be certain that the issuance of the notes or a guarantee, would not be avoided. The measure of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether any fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a debtor or a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
it could not pay its debts as they become due.

To the extent that a court avoids or otherwise finds unenforceable for any other reason the notes or a guarantee, your claims against Products Corporation or the relevant guarantor would be eliminated or limited, and to the extent that a court avoids or otherwise finds unenforceable for any other reason, your claims under the notes and related guarantees could be effectively subordinated to our secured debt. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts already received from Products Corporation or such guarantor. Further, the avoidance of the notes and/or a related guarantee could result in an event of default with respect to our other debt that, in turn, could result in acceleration of such debt.

In certain circumstances, a court may subordinate claims in respect of the notes and/or a guarantee to all other debts of Products Corporation or the guarantors, or take other actions detrimental to the noteholders, based on equitable or other grounds. We cannot be certain as to the standards that a court might apply and whether it might find such subordination or other actions appropriate.

Each guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer laws or may reduce or eliminate the guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes the guarantee worthless. Even if the guarantees of the notes remain in force, the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantee may not be sufficient to pay the notes in full when due.

Because each guarantor’s liability under its guarantee may be reduced to zero, avoided or released under certain circumstances, you may not receive any payments from some or all of the guarantors.

Holders of the notes have the benefit of the guarantees of all of our wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee our New Senior Facilities. The guarantees, however, are limited to the maximum amount that the guarantors are permitted to guarantee under applicable law. In addition, guarantees provided after the issue date of the initial notes may be especially subject to challenge as an avoidable preference under certain circumstances. As a result, a guarantor’s liability under its guarantee could be reduced to zero, depending on (among other things) the amount of other obligations of such guarantor. Furthermore, under the circumstances discussed above, a court under applicable fraudulent conveyance and transfer statutes could void the obligations under a guarantee or further subordinate it to all other obligations of the guarantors.

51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result, a guarantor’s liability under its guarantee could be materially reduced or eliminated depending upon the amounts of its other obligations and upon applicable laws. In particular, in certain jurisdictions, a guarantee issued by a company that is not in such company’s corporate interests, the burden of which exceeds the benefit to the company or which is entered into within a certain period prior to insolvency or bankruptcy, may not be valid and enforceable. It is possible that a guarantor, a creditor of a guarantor or the insolvency administrator in the case of an insolvency of a guarantor may contest the validity and enforceability of the guarantee and that the applicable court may determine the guarantee should be limited or voided. In the event that any guarantees are deemed invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or to the extent that agreed limitations on the guarantee obligation apply, the notes would be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the applicable guarantor.

The notes are structurally subordinated to the obligations of Products Corporation’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. Your right to receive payment on the notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declares bankruptcy, liquidates or reorganizes.

Some but not all of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries guarantee the notes. Products Corporation’s foreign subsidiaries and non-wholly owned subsidiaries are not guarantors of the notes. Furthermore, a subsidiary guarantee of the notes may be released under the circumstances described under “Description of Notes—Guarantees.” Products Corporation’s obligations under the notes and the guarantors’ obligations under the guarantees are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries (or to those of any subsidiary whose guarantee is voided as referred to above). Holders of notes will not have any claim as a creditor against Products Corporation’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes. Therefore, in the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of a non-guarantor subsidiary, the rights of the holders of notes to participate in the assets of such non-guarantor subsidiary will rank behind the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors (except to the extent we have a claim as a creditor of such subsidiary) and preferred stockholders of such subsidiaries, if any.

On a pro forma basis, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries, in the aggregate, excluding intercompany liabilities, would have had:

$1,065.1 million, or approximately 33%, of the Company’s consolidated assets and $283.3 million of liabilities, as of June 30, 2016; and
$1,147.1 million, or approximately 40%, of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The notes are unsecured obligations of Products Corporation and the guarantors and are effectively subordinated to our secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

The initial notes are, and the exchange notes will be, the general, unsecured obligations of Products Corporation, and the guarantees of the initial notes are, and the guarantees of the exchange notes will be, the general, unsecured obligations of the guarantors. Holders of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including the New Senior Facilities, will have claims that are senior to your claims as a holder of the notes, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such other indebtedness. The indenture limits but does not prohibit our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness, so we may be able to incur additional secured indebtedness that will be effectively senior to the notes and guarantees, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such additional secured indebtedness. As a result, in the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, holders of secured indebtedness will have a prior claim to those assets that constitute their collateral. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay all amounts due on the notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2016, Products Corporation and the guarantors would have had approximately $2,785.6 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness, $1,835.0 million of which would have been secured indebtedness, excluding letters of credit of $12.0 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, the New Senior Facilities would have permitted additional borrowings up to $803.0 million, all of which would have been secured. All of the secured debt would be effectively senior to the unsecured notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may be unable to finance a change of control offer.

If certain change of control events occur, Products Corporation will be required to make an offer for cash to purchase the notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. However, we cannot assure you that Products Corporation will have the financial resources necessary to purchase the notes upon a change of control or that it will have the ability to obtain the necessary funds on satisfactory terms, if at all. Further, the credit agreements governing the New Senior Facilities contain an event of default upon the Change in Control (as defined therein) which obligates the borrowers thereunder to repay indebtedness outstanding under the New Senior Facilities upon an acceleration of such indebtedness. As a result, Products Corporation may not be able to repurchase the notes and the Company and its subsidiaries may not be able to satisfy their respective obligations under their other indebtedness following a change of control repurchase event in connection with the notes. Products Corporation’s failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture would result in a default under the indenture and a cross-default under the credit agreements governing the New Senior Facilities. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would constitute a “Change of Control” under the indenture. See “Description of New Notes— Change of Control.”

Investors may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the notes repurchased by Products Corporation has occurred following a sale of “substantially all” of our assets.

Legal uncertainty regarding what constitutes a change of control and the provisions of the indenture governing the notes may allow us to enter into transactions, such as acquisitions, refinancings or recapitalizations, that would not constitute a change of control, but may increase our outstanding indebtedness or otherwise affect our ability to satisfy our obligations under the notes. A change of control, as defined in the indenture, will require Products Corporation to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes. The definition of change of control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease or transfer of “all or substantially all” of our assets. There is no precisely established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require Products Corporation to repurchase their notes as a result of a sale, lease or transfer of less than all of Products Corporation’s assets to another individual, group or entity may be uncertain.

If the exchange notes are rated investment grade at any time by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s, most of the restrictive covenants and corresponding events of default contained in the indenture will be suspended.

If, at any time, the credit rating on the notes, as determined by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s Rating Services equals or exceeds Baa3 or BBB-, respectively, or any equivalent replacement ratings, we will no longer be subject to most of the restrictive covenants and corresponding events of default contained in the indenture. Any restrictive covenants or corresponding events of default that cease to apply to use as a result of achieving these ratings will be restored if the credit ratings on the notes from these ratings agencies no longer equal or exceed these thresholds or in certain other circumstances. However, during any period in which these restrictive covenants are suspended, we may incur other indebtedness, make restricted payments and take other actions that would have been prohibited if these covenants had been in effect. If the restrictive covenants are later restored, the actions taken while the covenants were suspended will not result in an event of default under the indenture governing the exchange notes even if they would constitute an event of default at the time the covenants are restored. Accordingly, if these covenants and corresponding events of default are suspended, holders of the exchange notes will have less credit protection than at the time the exchange notes are issued. The exchange notes may never be rated investment grade, or if they are rated as investment grade, the exchange notes may not maintain such rating.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

If you do not properly tender your initial notes, you will continue to hold unregistered initial notes and be subject to the same limitations on your ability to transfer initial notes.

We will only issue exchange notes in exchange for initial notes that are timely received by the exchange agent together with all required documents, including a properly completed and signed letter of transmittal. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the initial notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your initial notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent are required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of the initial notes. If you are eligible to participate in the exchange offer and do not tender your initial notes or if we do not accept your initial notes because you did not tender your initial notes properly, then, after we consummate the exchange offer, you will continue to hold initial notes that are subject to the existing transfer restrictions and will no longer have any registration rights or be entitled to any additional interest with respect to the initial notes. In general, you may only offer or sell the initial notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. Except as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, we do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act any initial notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer. In addition, if you tender your initial notes for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes; and if you are a broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for your own account in exchange for initial notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or any other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale, offer to resell or other transfer of those exchange notes.

We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the exchange offer is consummated, we will make additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resales of the exchange notes.

After the exchange offer is consummated, if you continue to hold any initial notes, you may have difficulty selling them because there will be fewer initial notes outstanding.

Trading markets for the exchange notes may not develop.

The exchange notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We have not, nor do we intend to apply for, listing of any of the exchange notes on any national securities exchange or for inclusion of any of the exchange notes on any automated dealer quotation system.

The liquidity of any market for the exchange notes will depend upon various factors, including:

the number of holders of the exchange notes;
the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the exchange notes;
our ability to complete the exchange offer;
the overall market for high yield securities;
the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the exchange notes;
prevailing interest rates;
our financial performance or prospects; and
the prospects for companies in our industry generally.

Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a market or liquidity will develop for the notes, nor can we make any assurances regarding the ability of holders of the exchange notes to sell their exchange notes, the amount of exchange notes to be outstanding following the exchange offer or the price at which the exchange notes might be sold. As a result, the market price of the exchange notes could be adversely affected. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to exchange the notes. We cannot assure you that the market for the exchange notes, if any, will not be subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruptions may adversely affect you as a holder of the exchange notes.

54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We understand that one or more of the initial purchasers with respect to the initial notes may make a market in the exchange notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and any market-making activity with respect to the exchange notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, any market−making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and may be limited during the exchange offer or the pendency of an applicable shelf registration statement.

The issuance of the exchange notes may adversely affect the market for the initial notes.

To the extent the initial notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for the untendered and tendered but unaccepted initial notes could be adversely affected. Because we anticipate that most holders of the initial notes will elect to exchange their initial notes for exchange notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of the exchange notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that the liquidity of the market for any initial notes remaining after the completion of this exchange offer may be substantially limited. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences.”

Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the exchange notes.

Based on interpretations of the staff of the Commission contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under “Plan of Distribution,” you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your exchange notes. In these cases, if you transfer any exchange note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in exchange for the outstanding initial notes. We are making this exchange solely to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes, we will receive initial notes in like aggregate principal amount which we will submit to the trustee for cancellation.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Products Corporation acquired Elizabeth Arden on September 7, 2016 pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

For purposes of this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” (and words of similar import) refer to Products Corporation exclusive of its subsidiaries and its direct parent, Revlon, Inc.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines our unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 with the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Elizabeth Arden as of June 30, 2016, giving effect to the Transactions (as defined below) on a pro forma basis as if they had been completed on June 30, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 combines our unaudited historical consolidated statements of operations for the periods then ended with the unaudited historical consolidated statements of operations of Elizabeth Arden for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the calculated fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (as discussed below), and gives effect to the Transactions on a pro forma basis as if they had been completed on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements show the impact of the Transactions on our and Elizabeth Arden’s respective historical consolidated financial positions and results of operations under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” with Products Corporation treated as the acquiror of Elizabeth Arden. For more information regarding the Transactions, see “Summary-The Transactions.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect certain adjustments to Elizabeth Arden’s historical consolidated financial statements to align those financials with our U.S. GAAP accounting policies. These adjustments reflect our best estimates based upon the information currently available to us. Additionally, certain items have been reclassified from Elizabeth Arden’s unaudited historical consolidated financial statements to align the presentation of those financial statements with our financial statement presentation. These reclassifications were determined based upon the information currently available to us, and additional reclassifications may be necessary once the acquisition accounting is completed and additional information becomes available to us.

The Transactions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their respective fair values as of the date of completion of the Acquisition, with any residual value reflected as goodwill. The determination of the fair values of the net assets acquired, including intangible and net tangible assets, is based upon certain valuations that have not been finalized, and, accordingly, the adjustments to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value reflect our best estimates and are subject to change once further analyses are completed. Under applicable guidance, we are not required to finalize our acquisition accounting until one year after the Acquisition is completed. Any subsequent adjustments made in connection with the finalization of our acquisition accounting may be material.

The pro forma financial information presented does not reflect the realization of any expected cost reductions or other synergies from the Acquisition. Based on our extensive integration planning, we expect to achieve $139.3 million of synergies and cost reductions relating to the Acquisition. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include the impact of non-recurring items directly related to the Transactions.

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements are unaudited, are presented for informational purposes only, and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the Transactions been completed as of the dates or at the beginning of the periods presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future consolidated financial position or operating results of the combined companies. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read together with:

the separate audited historical consolidated financial statements of Products Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2015, included elsewhere in this prospectus;
the separate audited historical consolidated financial statements of Elizabeth Arden for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2016;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the separate unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of Products Corporation as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, included elsewhere in this prospectus;
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included elsewhere in this prospectus;
the section headed “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Elizabeth Arden’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016; and
“Summary-Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial and Other Data,” included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been presented based on our fiscal year, which ends on December 31. The following historical statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden have been arithmetically combined for the purposes of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, but have not been audited or reviewed by any firm of independent registered public accountants:

the separate audited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, included elsewhere in this prospectus; plus
the separate unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the six months ended December 31, 2015, not included in this prospectus; minus
the separate unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the six months ended December 31, 2014, not included in this prospectus.

The following historical statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden have been arithmetically combined for the purposes of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016, but have not been audited or reviewed by any firm of independent registered public accountants:

the separate audited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included elsewhere in this prospectus; minus
the separate unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the six months ended December 31, 2015, not included in this prospectus.

The following historical statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden have been arithmetically combined for the purposes of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, but have not been audited or reviewed by any firm of independent registered public accountants:

the separate audited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, included elsewhere in this prospectus; minus
the separate unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations data of Elizabeth Arden for the six months ended December 31, 2014, not included in this prospectus.

Because Elizabeth Arden’s statement of operations data for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 represent an arithmetic combination of the data for the above-described fiscal periods and because the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are not fiscal periods of Elizabeth Arden, such data may not be comparable to or indicative of the results of operations of Elizabeth Arden for a full fiscal year. In addition, because such statement of operations data have not been audited or reviewed by any firm of independent registered public accountants, such an audit or review process could result in material adjustments to such statement of operations data.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Note 1: Description of the Transactions

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 16, 2016, Products Corporation entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which we acquired Elizabeth Arden on September 7, 2016 (the “Acquisition Date”). At the effective time of the Acquisition (the “Effective Time”), each share of Elizabeth Arden common stock (other than shares held by the Parent, Products Corporation, Acquisition Sub or Elizabeth Arden (including treasury shares) (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) was converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the “Acquisition Consideration”). The initial notes were originally issued on August 4, 2016 by the Escrow Issuer. On the Acquisition Date, the Escrow Issuer merged with and into Products Corporation, with Products Corporation surviving the merger, whereupon Products Corporation assumed the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the indenture and the initial notes. Upon the assumption of the obligations under the initial notes (which we refer to below as the “New Senior Notes”) and the indenture by Products Corporation, Elizabeth Arden and certain of Products Corporation’s and Elizabeth Arden’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries guaranteed those obligations. See “Summary-The Issuer.”

As of the Effective Time: (i) each stock option of Elizabeth Arden that was outstanding and unexercised immediately before the Effective Time was canceled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the Acquisition Consideration over the exercise price of such stock option; and (ii) each restricted stock unit of Elizabeth Arden became fully vested and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Acquisition Consideration.

Financing

Concurrently with the Acquisition, Products Corporation entered into the 7-year $1,800.0 million New Term Loan Facility and the 5-year $400.0 million New Revolving Credit Facility (together, the “New Senior Facilities”). Products Corporation used the net cash proceeds of the issuance of the New Senior Notes and borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility, together with approximately $35.0 million of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, to fund the purchase price consideration of the Acquisition, to pay expenses in connection with the Transactions and to also repay, refinance or retire the following indebtedness (amounts outstanding are as of June 30, 2016):

(i)$1,310.0 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation’s previous (i) 2011 term loan due 2017; and (ii) 2013 term loan due 2019, which were governed by the same term loan facility agreement (collectively, the “Old Term Loan”);
(ii)$350.0 million aggregate principal amount of Elizabeth Arden’s 7⅜% senior notes due 2021 (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Notes”);
(iii)$42.0 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under Elizabeth Arden’s $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Facility”) (while $42.0 million was the amount outstanding under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016, the amount repaid by Products Corporation under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Credit Facility at the Acquisition Date was $142.0 million);
(iv)$25.0 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under Elizabeth Arden’s second lien credit facility (the “Old Elizabeth Arden Second Lien Facility”); and
(v)$55.0 million liquidation preference of Elizabeth Arden’s Series A Serial Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which is referred to as the “Elizabeth Arden Preferred Stock,” which includes a $5.0 million change of control premium.

In addition, we terminated our then-existing $175.0 million amended revolving credit facility due 2018 (the “Old Revolver” and, together with the Old Term Loan, the “Old Senior Facilities”).

The foregoing transactions are referred to as the “Refinancing Transactions” and the Acquisition and the Refinancing Transactions are referred to as the “Transactions.”

Note 2: Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to illustrate the effects of the Transactions on Products Corporation’s historical financial position and operating results. The unaudited pro

64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

forma condensed combined statements of operations combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Products Corporation and Elizabeth Arden, giving effect to the Transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Products Corporation and Elizabeth Arden, giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on June 30, 2016.

Certain reclassifications have been made to Elizabeth Arden’s historical financial statements to conform to the presentation in Products Corporation’s financial statements. Products Corporation expects there could be additional reclassifications in the year following the completion of the Acquisition, any of which could be material.

The fair values of the net assets acquired are provisional based on management’s preliminary estimate of the respective fair values. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price consideration over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of Elizabeth Arden as of the Acquisition Date will be reflected as goodwill. The carrying values of net assets acquired and goodwill are subject to the finalization of Products Corporation’s analysis of the fair value of Elizabeth Arden’s assets and liabilities as of the Acquisition Date and will be adjusted upon completion of the final valuation. The use of different estimates could yield materially different results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position of the combined companies that would have occurred if the Transactions had been completed during the period or as of the dates for which the pro forma financial information is presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future consolidated financial position or operating results of the combined companies.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include: (1) any net cost reductions or synergies that may be achieved subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition; or (2) the impact of non-recurring items directly related to the Transactions.

Note 3: Estimated Purchase Price Consideration

The Company acquired Elizabeth Arden for a cash purchase price of price of $928.9 million, which the Company financed from the proceeds of the New Senior Facilities and the New Senior Notes and cash on hand. The components of the $928.9 million purchase price are as follows:

(2)The purchase price includes the repurchase of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Old Elizabeth Arden Notes.
(3)The purchase price includes the repayment of $42.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the $300.0 million Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Facility and $25.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Elizabeth Arden Second Lien Facility, respectively, on the Acquisition Date, in each case, as of June 30, 2016. While $42.0 million was the amount outstanding under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016, the amount repaid by Products Corporation under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Credit Facility at the Acquisition Date was $142.0 million.
(4)Per the terms of the Merger Agreement, the purchase price includes $55.0 million paid to retire $55.0 million liquidation preference of 50,000 shares of Old Arden Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which includes a $5.0 million change of control premium.
(5)Interest on the Old Elizabeth Arden Notes accrued at a rate of 7.375% per annum and was payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of every year through maturity. The amount of accrued and unpaid interest is calculated based on an assumed 107 days of accrued interest as of June 30, 2016 in the amount of $7.6 million. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Old Elizabeth Arden Notes, the Old Elizabeth Arden Notes can be purchased at a price equal to 103.69% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the repurchase.
(6)The purchase price includes the payment of approximately $2.7 million in accrued dividends payable at June 30, 2016 to the holders of Old Elizabeth Arden Preferred Stock.

Note 4: Pro Forma Adjustments

(a) Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

For purposes of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the fair values of the net assets acquired by Products Corporation in the Acquisition are provisional and are based on management’s preliminary estimate of their respective fair values. The process of finalizing the valuation of the net assets acquired may result in material adjustments to the respective fair values and resulting goodwill. As required under applicable accounting guidance, the valuation of the net assets acquired will be finalized no later than one year from the Acquisition Date.

The following is a summary of management’s preliminary estimate of the fair values of net assets acquired and resulting goodwill in the Acquisition, as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2016:

As discussed in Note 3 above, the purchase price in the Acquisition includes the purchase price of Elizabeth Arden common stock, the repayment of the Old Elizabeth Arden Notes, amounts outstanding under the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Facility and the Old Elizabeth Arden Second Lien Facility and the redemption of the Old Elizabeth Arden Preferred Stock. The preliminary purchase price allocation, as outlined in the table above, has been calculated based upon the carrying values of the Old Elizabeth Arden Notes, the Old Elizabeth Arden Revolving Facility, the Old Elizabeth Arden Second Lien Facility and the Old Elizabeth Arden Preferred Stock at June 30, 2016.

In determining the fair values of net assets acquired and resulting goodwill, Products Corporation considered, among other factors, analyzes of Elizabeth Arden’s historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of Elizabeth Arden’s business.

67

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The preliminary estimate of the fair values of Elizabeth Arden’s indefinite-lived and finite-lived trade names and technology was determined using a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow model under the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method requires identifying the hypothetical cash flows generated by an assumed royalty rate that a third party would pay to license the trade names or technology, and discounting them back to the valuation date. The royalty rate used was based on a consideration of market rates. The indefinite-lived trade name is Elizabeth Arden. The finite-lived trade names include, among others, Elizabeth Taylor, Juicy Couture, John Varvatos, Britney Spears and Wildfox.

The preliminary estimate of the fair values of Elizabeth Arden’s customer relationships and distribution rights was determined using a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow model, specifically, the excess earnings method which considers the use of other assets in the generation of the projected cash flows of a specific asset to isolate the economic benefit generated by the customer relationship and distribution rights assets. The contribution of other assets, such as fixed assets, working capital, workforce, and other intangible assets, to overall cash flows was estimated through contributory asset capital charges. Therefore, the value of Elizabeth Arden’s customer relationships and distribution rights assets are the present values of the attributed post-tax cash flows, net of the return on fair value attributed to tangible and other intangible assets.

There are significant judgments inherent in a discounted cash flow valuation approach, including the selection of appropriate discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates and, contributory asset capital charges, estimating the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and identification of appropriate terminal growth rate assumptions. The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analyzes are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows to be generated by the respective intangible assets.

The estimated step-up in fair value for Elizabeth Arden’s acquired inventory of $40.7 million was determined based upon the estimated selling price of the inventory less the remaining manufacturing and selling costs and normal profit margin on those manufacturing and selling efforts. Following the Acquisition, the step-up in fair value of $40.7 million will increase cost of goods sold over approximately five months as the related inventory is sold. This increase in cost of goods sold is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations because it will not have a recurring impact.

A pro forma adjustment of $6.2 million was made to increase the carrying value of acquired property, plant and equipment to estimated fair value of $94.5 million. The estimated useful lives range from two to six years. The fair value and useful life calculations are preliminary and subject to change after Products Corporation finalizes its review of the specific types, nature, age, condition and location of Elizabeth Arden’s property, plant and equipment. Pro forma adjustments for changes in estimated depreciation expense are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations as follows (with respect to cost of goods sold and in Note 4(c) as it relates to selling, general and administrative expenses):

A pro forma adjustment of $5.7 million was made to increase the carrying value of Elizabeth Arden’s minority investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon-Holdings, Inc., an unrelated party whose subsidiaries operate the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and the Mario Tricoci Hair Salons. The estimated step-up in fair value was determined using a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow model, specifically, the excess earnings method which considers the use of other assets in the generation of the projected cash flows of a specific asset to isolate the economic benefit generated by the investment in the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and the Mario Tricoci Hair Salons.

The carrying value of all other assets and liabilities was determined to approximate their fair value.

Deferred Tax Liability

A non-current deferred tax liability of $66.8 million was recorded against the $332.8 million estimated fair value of Elizabeth Arden’s finite-lived acquired intangible assets outlined in the above table. The deferred tax liabilities represent the tax effect of the difference between the estimated assigned fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets ($190.8 million) and the tax basis ($0) of such assets. The estimated amount of $66.8 million was determined by multiplying the difference of $190.8 million by Products Corporation’s statutory federal income tax rate of 35.0%.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 also includes a pro forma adjustment of ($36.3 million) to deferred income taxes-noncurrent within long-term liabilities to eliminate Elizabeth Arden’s deferred tax liability on its historical intangible assets.

(1)Debt discounts of approximately $9.0 million, for the purposes of pro forma presentation, represent amounts to be paid to the lenders. At the effective date of the Acquisition, these amounts were accounted for as a reduction from the proceeds received as a component of the premium or discount at issuance and will be amortized over the term of the New Term Loan Facility. See “Interest Expense” below for the pro forma adjustments.
(2)Products Corporation’s Old Term Loan consists of: (i) the 2011 Term Loan, which is due in November 2017, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $651.4 million as of June 30, 2016; and (ii) the 2013 Term Loan, which is due October 2019, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $658.6 million as of June 30, 2016.
(3)Products Corporation incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $48.0 million as of the Acquisition Date, which are recorded as a deduction from the face value of the long-term debt pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. The debt issuance costs will be amortized over the life of the New Senior Facilities and the New Senior Notes. See “Interest Expense and Debt Issuance Costs” below for the pro forma adjustment.
(4)Of the total $39.8 million of anticipated Acquisition-related costs incurred by Products Corporation, $38.1 million were unpaid, and $1.7 million were incurred and paid by Products Corporation. Additionally, Elizabeth Arden incurred $2.0 million of Acquisition-related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $1.7 million of Acquisition-related costs incurred and paid by Products Corporation and the $2.0 million of Acquisition-related costs incurred by Elizabeth Arden during the six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, have been eliminated from acquisition and integration costs and selling general and administrative expenses in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, respectively, as these Acquisition-related costs will not have a continuing impact. The unpaid acquisition-related costs of $38.1 million are assumed to be accrued as of June 30, 2016, and are included as a pro forma adjustment to accumulated deficit and accrued expenses and other in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2016.

Overview of Net Sales and Earnings Results

Consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2016 were $928.5 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 0.8%, compared to $920.9 million in the first six months of 2015.

$14.2 million of lower gross profit in the first six months of 2016, primarily due to a $21.8 million increase in cost of sales, partially offset by a $7.6 million increase in net sales; and
a $4.9 million increase in restructuring charges and other, net, primarily due to $1.2 million of charges incurred under the 2015 Efficiency Program during the first six months of 2016, as compared to net reductions in estimated restructuring costs of $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2015;

with the foregoing partially offset by:

a $12.8 million decrease in the provision for income taxes recognized in the first six months of 2016, primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the phasing of the recognition of income taxes.

Consolidated income from continuing operations, net of taxes, in 2015 was $65.3 million, compared to consolidated income from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $46.0 million in 2014. The $19.3 million increase in 2015 was primarily due to:

a $26.4 million decrease in the provision for income taxes in 2015, primarily due to the favorable impact as a result of the net reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance of $10.0 million on the Company’s net deferred tax assets for certain jurisdictions;
$10.5 million in restructuring charges and other, net, in 2015, which primarily includes $9.5 million in restructuring charges recognized in 2015 related to the 2015 Efficiency Program, as compared to $21.3 million of restructuring charges and other, net recognized in 2014, primarily due to the Integration Program;
$9.3 million of favorable variance in foreign currency (gains) losses, net, as a result of $15.7 million in foreign currency losses, net, recognized during 2015, compared to $25.0 million in foreign currency losses, net, recognized during 2014; and
a $6.2 million reduction in SG&A expenses, primarily driven by the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, which was partially offset by higher brand support within both the Consumer and Professional segments and increases in general and administrative expenses primarily due to $10.2 million of the 2015 pension lump sum settlement charge that was recorded as a component of SG&A expenses, as well as higher severance costs and incentive compensation;

with the foregoing partially offset by:

$26.2 million of lower gross profit in 2015 primarily due to a $26.7 million decrease in consolidated net sales, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and the unfavorable impact of a $10.5 million portion of the 2015 pension lump sum settlement charge in 2015 recorded within cost of sales; and
a $9.7 million non-cash impairment loss on goodwill for the Company’s Global Color Brands reporting unit.

These items are discussed in more detail within “Results of Operations” and within “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Recent Events

The Transactions

On the Acquisition Date, the Company and Products Corporation completed the Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden. Elizabeth Arden is a global prestige beauty products company with an extensive portfolio of iconic beauty brands that are highly complementary to the Company’s existing brand portfolio and are sold worldwide. In North America, Elizabeth Arden’s principal customers include prestige retailers, the mass retail channel and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its branded retail outlet stores and e-commerce business. Elizabeth Arden products are also sold through the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa beauty salons and spas.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Internationally, Elizabeth Arden’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands is sold to perfumeries, boutiques, department stores, travel retailers and distributors. The operating results and purchase accounting for the Company’s Elizabeth Arden Acquisition are presented in the Elizabeth Arden reporting segment.

Concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition, we entered into the New Senior Facilities. We used the net proceeds of the offering of the initial notes and the New Term Loan Facility, together with approximately $35.0 million of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility and $126.7 million of cash on hand, to fund the purchase price of the Acquisition, to pay related expenses and to also repay, refinance or retire the Refinanced Indebtedness. In addition, we terminated the Old Revolver. For more information on the Transactions (including the Acquisition, the Merger and the Refinancing Transactions), please see “Prospectus Summary—Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden and Prospectus Summary—The Transactions.”

As a result of completing the Acquisition, we anticipate that our net sales will increase substantially. While we also expect our cost of goods sold and operating expenses to increase as well (including as a result of increased depreciation expense due to the application of purchase accounting to depreciable assets that we are acquiring), we also expect to realize significant cost reductions and operating synergies as a result of the Acquisition. We also expect our capital expenditures and certain other operating expenses (including SG&A expenses) to increase during the next several years in our effort to realize such cost reductions and operating synergies.

In addition, as a result of completing the Refinancing Transactions, we have significantly more outstanding indebtedness, so we anticipate that our interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs will increase as a result, and there will be a write off of our amortized debt issuance costs relating to repayment of the Refinanced Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest and dividends thereon, and the termination of the Old Revolver.

In connection with the Transactions, we have also incurred approximately $130.0 million of transaction-related costs (including the fees of our advisors and investment banks), many of which must be expensed in the period during which the Transactions are completed. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

2015 Efficiency Program

In September 2015, the Company initiated the 2015 Efficiency Program, consisting of restructuring actions to drive certain organizational efficiencies across the Company’s Consumer and Professional segments. These actions are designed to reduce general and administrative expenses within the Consumer and Professional segments, and the Company expects that they will be completed by the end of 2017. The Company recognized $1.2 million of restructuring and related charges in the first six months of 2016 for the 2015 Efficiency Program, of which $0.5 million related to the Consumer segment and $0.6 million related to the Professional segment, with the remaining charges included within unallocated corporate expenses, and expects to recognize total restructuring and related charges of 11.7 million by the end of 2017. By implementing the 2015 Efficiency Program, the Company expects to achieve annualized cost reductions of approximately $10.0 million to $15.0 million by the end of 2018, with approximately $9.0 million of cost reductions expected to benefit 2016 results.

In connection with the restructuring actions initiated in 2015 for the 2015 Efficiency Program, the Company expects to pay cash in an amount of approximately $12.0 million, including $0.2 million for capital expenditures (which capital expenditures are excluded from total restructuring and related charges expected to be recognized for the 2015 Efficiency Program), of which $1.6 million was paid in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $2.8 million was paid in 2015. A total of $6.2 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2016, with the remaining balance expected to be paid in 2017.

See (1) Note 3, “Restructuring Charges,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and (2) Note 3, “Restructuring Charges,” to the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details.

Acquisition of CBBeauty Group

On April 21, 2015 (the “CBB Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the CBB Acquisition for total cash consideration of $48.6 million. CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under various celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally

through department stores and selective distribution in international territories. On the CBB Acquisition Date, the Company used cash on hand to pay 70% of the total cash consideration, or $34.6 million. The remaining total cash consideration is payable in equal installments over three years from the CBB Acquisition Date, subject to the selling shareholders’ compliance with certain service conditions. These remaining installments, of which there are three, are being recorded as a component of SG&A expenses ratably over the remaining installment period. The results of operations of the CBB business were included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements commencing on the CBB Acquisition Date. See Note 2, “Business Combinations,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details on the CBB Acquisition.

Pension Lump Sum Settlement Charge

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company offered certain former employees who had vested benefits in the Company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (the Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan) the option of receiving the present value of the participant’s pension benefit in a one-time cash lump sum payment. Based on the participants’ acceptance of that offer, $53.4 million was paid from the plan’s assets to settle $66.9 million of pension liabilities, resulting in a $13.5 million net reduction of the Company’s pension plan liabilities in 2015. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $20.7 million as a result of the pension lump sum settlement accounting within costs of sales and SG&A expense in 2015. This charge was the result of accelerating a portion of the losses that were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which are required to be recognized in the period in which the pension plan liabilities were settled. See Note 14, “Savings Plan, Pension and Post-retirement Benefits,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details on this pension lump sum settlement.

Non-cash Impairment Charge

For purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company’s Pure Ice nail enamel brand, which was acquired in July 2012, is included within the Company’s Global Color Brands reporting unit. Despite improvements in the net sales of Pure Ice nail enamel in 2015 and the realization of margin improvements through integrating the production of Pure Ice nail enamel within the Company’s existing manufacturing processes, the Company continued to experience declines in the promotional activity for the Pure Ice brand at retailers. As a result, in conjunction with the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the Company’s expectations regarding the future performance of the Global Color Brands reporting unit in relation to its carrying amount. See Note 8, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details on this non-cash goodwill impairment charge.

2016 Debt-Related Transactions

On February 29, 2016, Products Corporation prepaid $23.2 million of indebtedness, representing 50% of its 2015 “excess cash flow” as defined under the Old Term Loan, in accordance with the terms of its Term Loan Agreement (as defined below). The prepayment was applied on a ratable basis between the principal amounts outstanding under the Old Term Loan, which are comprised of: (i) the term loan due November 19, 2017, in the original aggregate principal amount of $675.0 million, which had $651.4 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 30, 2016 (the “Old 2011 Term Loan”); and (ii) the term loan due October 8, 2019 in the original aggregate principal amount of $700 million, which had $658.6 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 30, 2016 (the “Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan”) (together, the “Old Term Loan,” the “Old Term Loan Agreement” or the “Old Term Loan Facility”). The amount of the prepayment that was applied to the Old 2011 Term Loan reduced the principal amount outstanding by $11.5 million to $651.4 million (as all amortization payments under the Old 2011 Term Loan had been paid). The $11.7 million that was applied to the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan reduced Products Corporation’s future annual amortization payments under the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan on a ratable basis from $6.9 million prior to the prepayment to $6.8 million after giving effect to the prepayment and through its maturity on October 8, 2019. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details.

The Old Term Loan was refinanced and replaced in its entirety in the Refinancing Transactions. For more information regarding the Refinancing Transactions, please see “Prospectus Summary—The Transactions.”

Results of Operations

Consolidated Net Sales:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2016 were $928.5 million, a $7.6 million increase, or 0.8%, as compared to $920.9 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $24.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, consolidated net sales increased by $32.5 million, or 3.5%, during the first six months of 2016.

Segment Results:

The Company’s management evaluates segment profit, which is defined as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses, for each of the Company’s reportable segments. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments’ underlying operating performance, which includes the impact of: (i) restructuring and related charges; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; (iii) deferred compensation related to the accounting for the CBB Acquisition; and (iv) costs of sales resulting from fair value adjustments in the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 to inventory acquired in the Cutex International Acquisition and CBB Acquisition, respectively. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses related to the corporate organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. For a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, see Note 14, “Segment Data and Related Information” to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Consumer Segment

Consumer segment net sales in the first six months of 2016 were $679.5 million, a $0.5 million increase, or 0.1%, compared to $679.0 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $21.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total Consumer net sales increased by $22.1 million, or 3.3%, in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015. This increase was primarily driven by higher net sales of Cutex nail products, SinfulColors color cosmetics and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products, partially offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics.

Consumer segment profit in the first six months of 2016 was $139.4 million, a $6.6 million decrease, or 4.5%, compared to $146.0 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $1.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, Consumer segment profit decreased by $5.0 million, or 3.4%, in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015. This decrease was primarily driven by lower gross profit as a result of the unfavorable impact of product mix and the impact of foreign currency transaction within cost of sales.

Professional Segment

Professional segment net sales in the first six months of 2016 were $238.4 million, a $0.8 million increase, or 0.3%, compared to $237.6 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $3.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total Professional net sales increased by $3.8 million in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015. This increase was primarily as a result of higher net sales of Revlon Professional hair products and American Crew men’s grooming products, partially offset by lower net sales of CND nail products within the U.S. and International region.

Professional segment profit in the first six months of 2016 was $49.7 million, a $3.8 million decrease, or 7.1%, compared to $53.5 million in the first six months of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.0 million gain related to the sale of certain non-core assets that was recognized in the first six months of 2015.

Consumer Segment

United States

In the Consumer segment, U.S. net sales in the first six months of 2016 decreased by $3.9 million, or 0.9%, to $418.8 million, as compared to $422.7 million in the first six months of 2015. This decrease was primarily driven by lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and Almay color cosmetics, partially offset by higher net sales of Cutex nail products and SinfulColors color cosmetics.

International

In the Consumer segment, International net sales in the first six months of 2016 increased by $4.4 million, or 1.7%, to $260.7 million, as compared to $256.3 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $21.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, International net sales increased by $26.0 million, or 10.1%, in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015. This increase was primarily driven by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Revlon ColorSilk hair color, Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products and Cutex nail products. From a geographic perspective, the increase in International net sales was mainly driven by higher net sales in Argentina, the U.K., certain distributors and Japan.

Professional Segment

United States

In the Professional segment, U.S. net sales in the first six months of 2016 increased by $3.2 million, or 3.6%, to $91.9 million, as compared to $88.7 million in the first six months of 2015. This increase was primarily driven by new point-of-sale and merchandising initiatives for Creme of Nature multi-cultural hair products and the launch of the Elvis marketing campaign for American Crew men’s grooming products, partially offset by lower net sales for CND nail products.

International

In the Professional segment, International net sales in the first six months of 2016 decreased by $2.4 million, or 1.6%, to $146.5 million, as compared to $148.9 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $3.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, International net sales increased by $0.6 million, or 0.4%, in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015. This increase was primarily due to higher net sales of Revlon Professional hair products and American Crew men’s grooming products throughout the International region, partially offset by lower net sales of CND nail products, primarily in Russia.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other Segment

In the Other segment, net sales during the first six months of 2016 increased by $6.3 million, or 146.5%, to $10.6 million, as compared to $4.3 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding the $0.3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, Other segment net sales increased by $6.6 million in the first six months of 2016. This increase was primarily driven by there being no comparable results for the full first six months of 2015, as the CBB Acquisition closed on April 21, 2015.

Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales by 2.1 percentage points, decreasing by $14.2 million in the first six months of 2016, as compared to the first six months of 2015. The drivers of the decrease in gross profit in the first six months of 2016, as compared to the first six months 2015, primarily included:

unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, which decreased gross profit by $20.8 million and decreased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 1.0 percentage points;
higher promotional allowances, which decreased gross profit by $14.5 million and decreased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.7 percentage points; and
unfavorable product mix, which decreased gross profit by $8.1 million and decreased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.4 percentage points;

with the foregoing partially offset by:

favorable volume, which increased gross profit by $29.1 million, with no impact on gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

SG&A expenses decreased by $1.2 million in the first six months of 2016, as compared to the first six months of 2015, primarily driven by:

a $6.4 million decrease in brand support expenses, primarily within the Consumer segment;

with the foregoing partially offset by:

$14.5 million of higher general and administrative expenses in 2016, primarily due to higher compensation due to changes in senior executive management, higher professional and legal fees and a $3.0 million gain recognized in the first six months of 2015 on the sale of certain non-core assets, partially offset by lower severance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Restructuring charges and other, net, for the first six months of 2016 of $1.8 million primarily related to charges for employee-related costs incurred in connection with the 2015 Efficiency Program, as compared to $3.1 million of net reductions in estimated restructuring costs recognized during the first six months of 2015.

The Company expects to achieve approximately $9 million in cost reductions during 2016 from the 2015 Efficiency Program and annualized cost reductions thereafter are expected to be approximately $10 million to $15 million.

The $0.4 million and $1.4 million increase in interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, was primarily due to higher weighted average borrowing rates, partially offset by lower average debt outstanding. The higher weighted average borrowing rates were driven by the impact of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap (as hereinafter defined). The lower average debt outstanding was the result of: (i) regularly scheduled quarterly amortization payments made towards the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan through June 30, 2016; and (ii) the excess cash flow prepayment of $23.2 million made under the Old Term Loan Facility in February 2016.

The decrease in foreign currency losses, net, of $2.9 million during the first six months of 2016, as compared to the first six months of 2015, was primarily driven by the net favorable impact of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar denominated intercompany payables and foreign currency denominated receivables during the first six months of 2016, as compared to the first six months of 2015.

The provision for income taxes decreased by $13.1 million in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015, primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the phasing of the recognition of income taxes.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was higher than the 35% federal statutory rate as a result of certain foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S.

The Company expects that its tax provision and effective tax rate in any individual quarter and year-to-date period will vary and may not be indicative of the Company’s tax provision and effective tax rate for the full year.

Operating Activities

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(57.2) million and $2.5 million for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities in the first six months of 2016, compared to the first six months of 2015, was primarily driven by the shift in the timing of certain customer collections and accounts payable disbursements at the end of 2015.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $47.4 million and $49.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which included $18.6 million and $17.2 million of cash used for capital expenditures, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2016 included $29.2 million in cash payments for the May 2016 Cutex International Acquisition, as compared to $34.2 million in cash payments, net of cash acquired, primarily for the Company’s April 2015 CBB Acquisition.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $36.6 million and $23.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2016 primarily included:

a $23.2 million required excess cash flow prepayment made under the Old Amended Term Loan Facility, as discussed below;
$3.4 million of scheduled amortization payments on the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan; and
a $8.4 million decrease in short-term borrowings and overdraft.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2015 included:

a $24.6 million required excess cash flow prepayment made under the Old Amended Term Loan Facility; and
$3.4 million of scheduled amortization payments on the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan;

with the foregoing partially offset by:

$6.6 million of short-term borrowings and overdraft.

Consolidated Net Sales:

Consolidated net sales in 2015 were $1,914.3 million, a decrease of $26.7 million, or 1.4%, compared to $1,941.0 million in 2014. Excluding the $121.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, consolidated net sales increased $94.5 million, or 4.9%, during 2015, primarily driven by an increase in Consumer segment net sales of $53.9 million, or 3.7%, and the inclusion of $28.4 million of net sales as a result of the CBB Acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Consolidated net sales in 2014 were $1,941.0 million, an increase of $446.3 million, or 29.9% as compared to $1,494.7 million in 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $60.1 million, consolidated net sales increased $506.4 million, or 33.9% during 2014, primarily driven by the increase in net sales of $460.9 million as a result of the Colomer Acquisition in October 2013.

Segment Results:

The Company’s management evaluates segment profit, which is defined as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses, for each of the Company’s reportable segments. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments’ underlying operating performance, which includes the impact of: (i) restructuring and related charges; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; (iii) goodwill impairment charges; (iv) pension lump sum settlement charge; (v) costs of sales resulting from fair value adjustments to inventory acquired in acquisitions; (vi) deferred compensation related to the CBB Acquisition; and (vii) an accrual for estimated clean-up costs related to the Company’s facility in Venezuela. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses related to the corporate organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company removed pension-related costs for its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans from the measurement of its operating segment results. As a result, $8.2 million and $4.9 million of pension-related costs were reclassified from the measurement of Consumer segment profit and included as a component of unallocated corporate expenses for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. For a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, see Note 18, “Segment Data and Related Information” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The following tables provide a comparative summary of the Company’s segment results for each of 2015, 2014 and 2013. In the tables below, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Consumer segment net sales and segment profit include the results of retail brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which had previously been included in the Professional segment.

Consumer Segment

Consumer segment net sales in 2015 were $1,414.8 million, a decrease of $23.5 million, or 1.6%, compared to $1,438.3 million in 2014. Excluding the $77.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total Consumer net sales increased $53.9 million, or 3.7%, in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily driven by higher

87

TABLE OF CONTENTS

net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products, Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Cutex nail products, partially offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics. Consumer segment net sales were negatively impacted in connection with the Company’s exit of its business operations in Venezuela in the second quarter of 2015 and change to a distributor model, as such change resulted in $1.0 million of net sales in Venezuela in 2015, compared to $16.3 million of net sales in Venezuela in 2014. Excluding Venezuela, on an XFX basis, Consumer net sales would have increased by 4.4% in 2015, compared to 2014.

Consumer segment profit in 2015 was $360.2 million, an increase of $20.8 million, or 6.1%, compared to $339.4 million in 2014. Excluding the $9.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, Consumer segment profit increased $30.0 million, or 8.8%, in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily driven by higher gross profit as a result of the increases in net sales discussed above, partially offset by $8.7 million of higher brand support expenses for the Company’s Consumer brands. In connection with the Company’s exit of its business operations in Venezuela in the second quarter of 2015 and change to a distributor model, there was no profit in Venezuela in 2015, compared to $6.6 million of profit in Venezuela in 2014. Excluding Venezuela, on an XFX basis, Consumer segment profit would have increased by 11.1% in 2015, compared to 2014.

Consumer segment net sales in 2014 were $1,438.3 million, an increase of $44.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to $1,394.2 million in 2013. Excluding the $54.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total Consumer net sales increased $98.3 million, or 7.1%, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily driven by: (i) the inclusion of $52.8 million of increased net sales from Consumer brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition; (ii) $15.1 million of favorable sales returns reserve adjustments in the U.S. during 2014, as a result of lower expected discontinued products in the future related to the Company’s strategy to focus on fewer, bigger and better innovations, partially offset by increased sales returns expense for 2014 sales returns; and (iii) higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products. The increases in Consumer segment net sales in 2014 were partially offset by lower net sales of fragrances, as well as lower net sales of Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice color cosmetics.

Consumer segment profit in 2014 was $339.4 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 0.8%, compared to $342.3 million in 2013, primarily due to lower gross profit as a result of $33.0 million of higher advertising expense to support the Company’s Consumer brands, and approximately $17.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by the increase in net sales, including the $15.1 million of favorable sales returns reserve adjustments.

Professional Segment

Professional segment net sales in 2015 were $471.1 million, a decrease of $31.6 million, or 6.3%, compared to $502.7 million in 2014. Excluding the $43.8 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, total Professional net sales increased $12.2 million in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily as a result of higher net sales of American Crew men’s grooming products, Revlon Professional hair products and Creme of Nature hair products, partially offset by lower net sales of CND nail products in the U.S.

Professional segment profit in 2015 was $103.9 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 0.9%, compared to $104.8 million in 2014. Excluding the $3.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, Professional segment profit increased $2.8 million in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to higher net sales, partially offset by $5.1 million of higher brand support expenses for the Company’s Professional brands. In addition, Professional segment profit in 2014 included a favorable adjustment of $3.4 million related to the inventory obsolescence reserve, with no similar adjustment in 2015.

The Company’s Professional segment is comprised of most of the operations acquired by the Company in the Colomer Acquisition in October 2013 (with the exception of the retail brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which the Company has included within the Consumer segment, as noted above). As Colomer was acquired in October 2013, there are no full year comparable prior years’ net sales or segment profit for the Professional segment to facilitate a comparison of 2014 and 2013 Professional segment results. Therefore, an analysis of net sales and segment profit for the Professional segment in 2014, compared to 2013, is not included in this prospectus. Professional net sales were $502.7 million for the full year of 2014 and $100.5 million from the October 2013 Colomer Acquisition Date through the end of 2013. Professional net sales during each period consisted primarily of the net sales of CND products worldwide, including CND Shellac; Revlon Professional products, primarily in Europe; and American Crew products and other professional brands world-wide.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Professional segment profit was $104.8 million for the full year of 2014 and $5.1 million from the October 2013 Colomer Acquisition Date through the end of 2013 and is comprised of the operating results of substantially all of the operations acquired in the Colomer Acquisition.

Geographic Results:

In connection with changes that the organization made to its management reporting structure following the Colomer Acquisition, beginning in 2014, the Company combined its former Latin America and Canada; Asia Pacific; and Europe, Middle East and Africa operating regions into the International region for reporting purposes. The Company has modified its net sales discussion to conform to the manner by which the Company’s management reviews the business, and, accordingly, prior year amounts have been restated to conform to this prospectus.

The following tables provide a comparative summary of the Company’s net sales by region for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

United States

In the U.S., net sales in 2015 increased $21.8 million, or 2.1%, to $1,043.7 million, compared to $1,021.9 million in 2014, primarily due to higher Consumer segment net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products and Revlon ColorSilk hair color, partially offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics. Net sales in the U.S. decreased in the Professional segment primarily due to lower net sales of CND nail products.

In the U.S., net sales in 2014 increased $189.1 million, or 22.7%, to $1,021.9 million, as compared to $832.8 million in 2013, primarily due to the inclusion of $157.1 million of increased net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition. 2014 net sales in the U.S. were also impacted by $15.1 million of favorable sales returns reserve adjustments during 2014, as a result of lower expected discontinued products in the future related to the Company’s strategy to focus on fewer, bigger and better innovations, partially offset by increased sales returns expense for 2014 sales returns. In addition, 2014 had higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products, partially offset by lower net sales of Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice color cosmetics.

International

International net sales in 2015 decreased by $48.5 million, or 5.3%, to $870.6 million, as compared to $919.1 million in 2014. Excluding the $121.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, International net sales increased by $72.7 million, or 7.9%, in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics in the Consumer segment. International net sales increased in the Professional segment primarily due to higher net sales of American Crew men’s grooming products and Revlon

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Professional hair products. From a geographic perspective, the increase in international net sales was throughout most of the Company’s International region. The Company’s exit of its business operations in Venezuela in 2015 negatively impacted International net sales. Excluding Venezuela, on an XFX basis, International net sales would have increased by 9.0% in 2015, compared to 2014.

International net sales in 2014 increased $257.2 million, or 38.9%, to $919.1 million, as compared to $661.9 million in 2013. Excluding the $60.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, International net sales increased by $317.3 million, or 47.9%, primarily due to the inclusion of $303.8 million of increased net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition. Additionally, 2014 net sales were impacted by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics in Venezuela and Japan and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products primarily in the U.K., partially offset by lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics in certain distributor territories and fragrances in the U.K. and Italy. Results in Venezuela for 2014 benefited from the increased availability of U.S. Dollars to import finished goods for sale, as compared to 2013.

Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales by 0.5 percentage points, decreasing by $26.2 million in 2015, as compared to 2014. The drivers of the changes in gross profit in 2015, as compared to 2014, primarily included:

unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, which reduced gross profit by $90.0 million and reduced gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.5 percentage points;
the unfavorable impact of a portion of the 2015 pension lump sum settlement charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 within cost of sales in the amount of $10.5 million, which decreased gross profit by as a percentage of net sales by 0.6 percentage points;
the effects of the favorable sales returns accrual adjustments made in 2015 and 2014, due to lower expected discontinued products in the future related to the Company’s strategy to focus on fewer, bigger and better innovations, which 2014 adjustment was $4.1 million more favorable than the 2015 adjustment, and which had no impact on gross profit as a percentage of net sales;

with the foregoing partially offset by:

favorable volume, which increased gross profit by $67.8 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.2 percentage points; and
lower manufacturing and freight costs as a result of supply chain cost reduction initiatives, which increased gross profit by $9.5 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.5 percentage points.

Gross profit increased by $323.1 million, and as a percentage of net sales gross profit increased by 2.1 percentage points in 2014, as compared to 2013. The drivers of gross profit in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily included:

the inclusion of gross profit from the Colomer Acquisition beginning in October 2013, which increased gross profit by $314.8 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 1.3 percentage points;
favorable sales mix within the Consumer segment, which increased gross profit by $19.3 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 1.0 percentage points;
favorable volume, which increased gross profit by $15.2 million, with no impact on gross profit as a percentage of net sales; and

SG&A expenses decreased by $6.2 million in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily driven by:

$72.2 million of favorable impact due to foreign currency fluctuations in 2015; with the foregoing partially offset by:
$16.2 million of higher brand support expenses for the Company’s brands within the Consumer and Professional segments in 2015; and
$49.3 million of higher general and administrative expenses in 2015, primarily due to:
(i)$14.7 million of severance costs related to a 2015 initiative to upgrade the Company’s people and talent;
(ii)$10.2 million of charges related to the 2015 pension lump sum settlement recorded as a component of SG&A expenses;
(iii)$9.8 million in expenses related to the 2015 operations of the CBB business acquired in April 2015; and
(iv)higher incentive compensation expenses.

In 2014, as compared to 2013, SG&A expenses increased $276.1 million, primarily driven by:

the inclusion of SG&A expenses as a result of the Colomer Acquisition, beginning in October 2013, which contributed $226.2 million to the increase in SG&A expenses;
$33.0 million of higher advertising expenses to support the Company’s brands within the Consumer segment;
a $26.4 million gain from insurance proceeds in 2013 due to the settlement of the Company’s claim for the loss of inventory from the fire that destroyed the Company’s facility in Venezuela, partially offset by an accrual in 2013 of $7.6 million for estimated clean-up costs related to the destroyed facility, which did not recur in 2014;
$18.3 million of higher general and administrative expenses, primarily due to increased severance related costs, higher incentive and stock-based compensation expense, and higher occupancy costs due to overlapping rents as a result of the Company’s relocation of its New York City headquarters during 2014; and
$4.0 million of higher amortization of permanent wall displays; with the foregoing partially offset by:
$24.8 million of favorable impacts due to foreign currency fluctuations.

The $1.1 million decrease in interest expense in 2015, compared to 2014, was primarily due to lower average debt outstanding, partially offset by higher weighted average borrowing rates. The lower average debt outstanding was the result of: (i) regularly scheduled quarterly amortization payments made toward the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan through December 31, 2015; (ii) the favorable benefit to 2015 as a result of the May 1, 2014 prepayment of the remaining $58.4 million principal amount outstanding under the Old Non-Contributed Loan; and (iii) the $24.6 million March 2015 excess cash flow prepayment, of which

92

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$12.1 million was applied to the principal amount outstanding under the Old 2011 Term Loan. The remaining $12.5 million of the excess cash flow prepayment that was applied to the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan reduced Products Corporation’s future regularly scheduled quarterly amortization payments under the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan on a ratable basis from $1.8 million prior to such prepayment to $1.7 million after giving effect to such prepayment and through its maturity on October 8, 2019. The higher weighted average borrowing rates were primarily due to the impact of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap going into effect in May 2015.

The $5.8 million increase in interest expense in 2014, as compared to 2013, was primarily due to higher average debt as a result of Products Corporation’s Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan, which was used to fund the Colomer Acquisition, partially offset by lower weighted average borrowing rates.

The decrease in foreign currency losses, net, of $9.3 million during 2015, as compared to 2014, was primarily driven by:

a $6.0 million foreign currency loss recognized in 2014 as a result of the re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet, as compared to a $1.9 million foreign currency loss recognized in 2015;
a $3.8 million gain in 2015, compared to a $0.5 million gain in 2014, related to the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts; and
the favorable impact of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar and foreign currency denominated intercompany payables during 2015, as compared to 2014.

The increase in foreign currency losses, net, of $21.3 million during 2014, as compared to 2013, was primarily driven by:

the unfavorable impact of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar denominated intercompany payables during 2014, as compared to 2013; and
a $6.0 million foreign currency loss related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet during the second quarter of 2014.

The provision for income taxes decreased by $26.8 million in 2015, compared to 2014, primarily due to the favorable impact of certain discrete items, including: (i) the net reduction of valuation allowances of $10.0 million, which was primarily due to the Company’s release of an $18.4 million valuation allowance against certain deferred assets in the U.K., after considering all available evidence, including recent history of cumulative income, improved earnings trends and expected taxable income, and no history of net operating losses expiring unused, as well as the absence of any negative evidence, partially offset by additional valuation allowances on current period operating losses in certain jurisdictions; (ii) lower pre-tax income in certain jurisdictions for 2015, compared to 2014; (iii) the impact of the favorable resolution of certain tax matters in 2015; and (iv) the impact of certain tax matters in 2014 that did not recur in 2015.

The provision for income taxes increased by $32.6 million in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to: (i) the loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in 2013; (ii) certain expenses related to the Colomer Acquisition; (iii) the favorable resolution of tax matters in a foreign jurisdiction; (iv) increased pre-tax income; and (v) establishing a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the Professional segment in 2014

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(each of which in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) favorably affected the provision for income taxes in 2013 and each of which did not recur in 2014), partially offset by the favorable impact of certain discrete items in 2014, including the favorable resolution of tax matters in certain jurisdictions and return-to-provision adjustments.

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2015 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to: (i) foreign and U.S. tax effects attributable to operations outside the U.S.; (ii) state and local taxes; and (iii) foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S., partially offset by the net reduction of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2014 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to: (i) state and local taxes, net of U.S federal income tax benefit; (ii) establishing a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the Professional segment; (iii) foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S.; and (iv) foreign and U.S. tax effects attributable to operations outside the U.S.

The Company expects that its tax provision and effective tax rate in any individual quarter and year-to-date period will vary and may not be indicative of the Company’s tax provision and effective tax rate for the full year.

In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, management regularly considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is generally dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion.

Changes in Cash Flows

At December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $326.9 million, compared with $275.3 million at December 31, 2014. The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in 2015, 2014 and 2013:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $155.3 million, $174.0 million and $123.3 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in cash from operating activities in 2015, compared to the 2014, was primarily driven by higher inventory and tax payments, partially offset by less cash used in discontinued operations, as well as lower payments for restructuring and interest in 2015 compared to 2014. The cash provided by operating activities in 2014, compared to 2013, was favorably impacted by cash provided by the operations of the Professional segment as a result of the Colomer Acquisition, partially offset by higher interest payments and unfavorable changes in working capital, including higher tax payments and higher payments for restructuring actions primarily related to both the Integration Program and the restructuring actions that included exiting the Company’s direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China, as well as implementing other immaterial restructuring actions outside the U.S. that are expected to generate other operating efficiencies.

See Note 3, “Restructuring Charges” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion related to the Company’s restructuring programs.

Net cash provided by operating activities related to discontinued operations, including restructuring payments, was approximately $0.1 million, $27.0 million and $10.0 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2016, the Company had a liquidity position of $343.9 million, consisting of $177.2 million of cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks).

At June 30, 2016, on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility was $1,800.0 million, respectively, with the Company having a pro forma liquidity position of $557.9 million, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) of $204.9 million, as well as $353.0 million in available borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, assuming the full $400.0 million availability of the New Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to $12.0 million of undrawn outstanding letters of credit and $35.0 million then drawn under the New Revolving Credit Facility at such date).

On a pro forma basis, the Company’s foreign operations held $99.0 million out of the total $218.7 million in cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) as of June 30, 2016. The cash held by the Company’s foreign operations is primarily used to fund such operations. The Company regularly assesses its cash needs and the available sources of cash to fund these needs. As part of this assessment, the Company determines the amount of foreign earnings, if any, that it intends to repatriate to help fund its domestic cash needs, including for the Company’s debt service obligations, and pays applicable U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes, if any, on such earnings to the extent repatriated, and otherwise records a tax liability for the estimated cost of repatriation in a future period. The Company believes that the cash generated by its domestic operations and availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit should be sufficient to meet its domestic liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, the Company currently anticipates that restrictions and/or taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings will not have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity during such period.

Long-Term Debt Instruments

New Revolving Credit Facility

Principal and Maturity

Our New Revolving Credit Facility, for which facility Citibank, N.A. acts as administrative agent, has an initial maximum availability of $400.0 million (with a $100.0 million sublimit for letters of credit and up to $70.0 million available for swing line loans), which availability is subject to the amount of the borrowing base. The New Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) the excess of the borrowing base over the amounts of then-effective commitments. The New Revolving Credit Facility permits certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to borrow in local currencies.

The borrowing base calculation under the New Revolving Credit Facility is based on the sum of: (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable; (ii) the lesser of 85% of the net orderly liquidation value and a percentage of the

96

TABLE OF CONTENTS

value specified in respect of different types of eligible inventory; (iii) qualified restricted cash (capped at $75.0 million); and (iv) a temporary increase amount between August 15 and October 31 of each year, which are collectively subject to certain availability reserves set by the administrative agent.

The New Revolving Credit Facility will mature on the earlier of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the 91st day prior to the maturity of our 5¾% Senior Notes if, on that date (and solely for so long as), (i) any 5¾% Senior Notes remain outstanding and (ii) Products Corporation’s available liquidity does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 5¾% Senior Notes by at least $200.0 million.

Guarantees and Security

Products Corporation and the restricted subsidiaries under the New Revolving Credit Facility, which include Elizabeth Arden and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Restricted Group”), are subject to the covenants under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The New Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by each existing and future direct or indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiary of Products Corporation (subject to various exceptions), as well as by Parent on a limited recourse basis. The obligations of Parent, Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors under the New Revolving Credit Facility are secured by pledges of the equity of Products Corporation held by Parent and the equity of Products Corporation’s restricted subsidiaries held by Products Corporation and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions, including equity of first-tier foreign subsidiaries in excess of 65% of the voting equity interests of such entity) and by substantially all tangible and intangible personal and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exclusions). The obligors and guarantors under the New Revolving Credit Facility and the New Term Loan Facility are identical. The liens securing the New Term Loan Facility on the accounts, inventory, equipment, chattel paper, documents, instruments, deposit accounts, real estate and investment property and general intangibles (other than intellectual property) related thereto (the “New Revolving Facility Collateral”) rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the New Revolving Credit Facility. The liens securing the New Term Loan Facility on all other property, including capital stock, intellectual property and certain other intangible property (the “New Term Loan Collateral”), rank first in priority to the liens thereon securing the New Revolving Credit Facility, while the liens thereon securing the New Revolving Credit Facility rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the New Term Loan Facility.

Interest and Fees

Interest is payable quarterly and accrues on borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75% depending on the average excess availability (based on the borrowing base as most recently reported by Products Corporation to the administrative agent from time to time) or (ii) the Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% depending on the average excess availability (based on the borrowing base as most recently reported by Products Corporation to the administrative agent from time to time), at Products Corporation’s option. The applicable margin decreases as average excess availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility increases. Products Corporation is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the New Revolving Credit Facility, including a 0.25% commitment fee for any unused amounts. Loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants

The New Revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants that are similar to those in the New Term Loan Facility, other than the “available amount basket” (as described below in the description of the New Term Loan Facility); provided, however, under the New Revolving Credit Facility the Restricted Group will be able to incur unlimited additional junior secured debt and unsecured debt, make unlimited asset sales and dispositions, make unlimited investments and acquisitions, prepay junior debt and make unlimited restricted payments to the extent that certain “payment conditions” for asset-based credit facilities are satisfied. The New Revolving Credit Facility contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default.

If Products Corporation’s “Liquidity Amount” (defined in the New Revolving Credit Facility as the Borrowing Base less the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding extensions of credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility, and (y) any availability reserve in effect on such date) falls below the greater of $35.0 million and 10% of the maximum availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility (a “Liquidity Event Period”),

97

TABLE OF CONTENTS

then the Restricted Group will be required to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of Products Corporation’s EBITDA minus capital expenditures to cash interest expense for such period) of a minimum of 1.0 to 1.0 until the first date after 20 consecutive business days for which the Liquidity Amount is equal to or greater than such threshold. If Products Corporation is in default under the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the New Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation may cure such default by issuing certain equity securities to, or receiving capital contributions from, Parent and applying such cash which is deemed to increase EBITDA for the purpose of calculating the applicable ratio. Products Corporation may exercise this cure right no more than two times in any four-quarter period, and no more than five times in total during the life of the New Revolving Credit Facility.

Prepayments

Products Corporation must prepay borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility to the extent that outstanding loans and letters of credit exceed availability. During a Liquidity Event Period, the administrative agent may apply amounts collected in controlled accounts for the repayment of loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

New Term Loan Facility

Principal and Maturity

The New Term Loan Facility, for which Citibank, N.A. acts as administrative agent, has an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,800.0 million and will mature on the earlier of (x) the seventh anniversary of the closing date of the Acquisition and (y) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 5¾% Senior Notes if, on that date (and solely for so long as), (i) any 5¾% Senior Notes remain outstanding and (ii) available liquidity does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 5¾% Senior Notes by at least $200.0 million. The loans under the New Term Loan Facility were borrowed at an original issue discount of 0.5% to their principal amount.

The New Term Loan Facility may be increased by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the greater of $450.0 million and 90% of pro forma consolidated EBITDA, plus (y) an unlimited amount to the extent that (1) the first lien leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of net senior secured funded debt that is not junior or subordinated to the liens of both New Senior Facilities to EBITDA) is less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0 (for debt secured pari passu with the New Term Loan Facility) or (2) the secured leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of net senior secured funded debt to EBITDA) is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.0 (for junior lien or unsecured debt), plus (z) up to an additional $400.0 million if the New Revolving Credit Facility has been repaid and terminated.

Guarantees and Security

The Restricted Group under the New Term Loan Facility (which is the same as the Restricted Group under the New Revolving Credit Facility) is subject to the covenants under the New Term Loan Facility. The New Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by each existing and future direct or indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiary of Products Corporation (subject to various exceptions), including Elizabeth Arden and certain of its subsidiaries, as well as by Parent on a limited recourse basis. The obligations of Parent, Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors under the New Term Loan Facility are secured by pledges of the equity of Products Corporation held by Parent and the equity of the Restricted Group held by Products Corporation and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions, including equity of first-tier foreign subsidiaries in excess of 65% of the voting equity interests of such entity) and by substantially all tangible and intangible personal and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exclusions). The obligors and guarantors under the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility are identical. The liens on the New Term Loan Collateral securing the New Term Loan Facility rank first in priority to the liens thereon securing the New Revolving Credit Facility, which rank second in priority on such collateral. The liens on the New Revolving Facility Collateral securing the New Term Loan Facility rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the New Revolving Credit Facility, which rank first in priority on such collateral.

Interest and Fees

Interest accrues on term loans under the New Term Loan Facility at a rate per annum of Adjusted LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.50% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 2.50%, at Products Corporation’s option, and is payable quarterly. Products Corporation is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the New Term Loan Facility.

98

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Affirmative and Negative Covenants

The New Term Loan Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Restricted Group’s ability to:

(i)incur additional debt;
(ii)incur liens;
(iii)sell, transfer or dispose of assets;
(iv)make investments;
(v)make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity;
(vi)make prepayments of contractually subordinated or junior lien debt;
(vii)enter into certain transactions with their affiliates;
(viii)enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
(ix)change their lines of business;
(x)restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens;
(xi)change their fiscal year; and
(xii)modify the terms of certain debt.

The negative covenants are subject to various exceptions, including an “available amount basket” based on 50% of Products Corporation’s cumulative consolidated net income, plus a “starter” basket of $200.0 million, subject to Products Corporation’s compliance with a 5.0 to 1.0 ratio of Products Corporation’s net debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement governing the New Term Loan Facility) (except such compliance is not required when such baskets are used to make investments).

While the New Term Loan Facility contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default, it does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.

Prepayments

The New Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from:

(a)the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its restricted subsidiaries of certain additional debt;
(b)commencing with the excess cash flow calculation with respect to fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, 50% of excess cash flow, with step-downs to 25% and 0% upon achievement of certain first lien leverage ratios and reduced by voluntary prepayments of loans under the New Term Loan Facility and revolving loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility to the extent commitments thereunder are permanently reduced; and
(c)asset sale proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property that have not been reinvested to the extent in excess of certain minimum amounts.

The New Term Loan Facility is also subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount.

Products Corporation may voluntarily prepay the New Term Loan Facility without premium or penalty unless Products Corporation prepays a term loan within six months after the closing date of the Acquisition in connection with a repricing transaction (in which case a 1.00% premium is payable).

5¾% Senior Notes

In February 2013, Products Corporation completed its offering (the “2013 Senior Notes Refinancing”), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes. The 5¾% Senior Notes are unsecured and were issued under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture to investors at par. The 5¾% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2021. Interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes accrues at 5¾% per annum, paid every six months on February 15th and August 15th.

99

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The 5¾ % Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2013, by and among Products Corporation, Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (the “5¾% Senior Notes Guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantors issued guarantees (the “5¾% Senior Notes Guarantees”) of Products Corporation’s obligations under the 5¾% Senior Notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture on a joint and several, senior unsecured basis. The Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries became additional guarantors in January 2014 and certain of Products Corporation’s newly formed U.S.-domiciled subsidiaries formed in connection with the CBB Acquisition became additional guarantors in January and May 2015, in each case under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture.

In December 2013, Products Corporation consummated an offer to exchange the original 5¾% Senior Notes for $500.0 million of new 5¾% Senior Notes, which have substantially the same terms as the original 5¾% Senior Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act.

Products Corporation used a portion of the $491.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes (net of underwriters’ fees) to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its Old 9¾% Senior Secured Notes, as well as to pay $8.6 million of accrued interest. Products Corporation incurred an aggregate of $19.4 million of fees for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, related fees and expenses in connection with redemption and repayment of the Old 9¾% Senior Secured Notes and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes. Products Corporation used a portion of the remaining proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113.0 million of principal on the Old 2011 Term Loan in connection with consummating the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation used 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 a loan owed to Revlon, Inc.

Ranking

The 5¾% Senior Notes are Products Corporation’s unsubordinated, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of Products Corporation and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of Products Corporation. Similarly, each 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantee is the relevant 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantor’s joint and several, unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantor and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of such 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantor. The 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantees were issued on a joint and several basis.

The 5¾% Senior Notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes Guarantees will rank effectively junior to the New Senior Facilities, which will be secured, as well as indebtedness and preferred stock of Products Corporation’s foreign and immaterial subsidiaries, none of which guarantee the 5¾% Senior Notes.

Optional Redemption

The 5¾% Senior Notes may be redeemed at Products Corporation’s option, at any time as a whole, or from time to time in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15th of the years indicated below:

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, Products Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase all of the 5¾% Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes as of the date of any such repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Certain Covenants

The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture limits Products Corporation’s and the Guarantors’ ability, and the ability of certain other subsidiaries, to:

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness (“Limitation on Debt”);
pay dividends, make repayments on indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the 5¾% Senior Notes and make other “restricted payments” (“Limitation on Restricted Payments”);
make certain investments;
create liens on their assets to secure debt;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company (“Successor Company”);
transfer and sell assets (“Limitation on Asset Sales”); and
permit restrictions on the payment of dividends by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries (“Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries”).

These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

In addition, if during any period of time the 5¾% Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants on Limitation on Debt, Limitation on Restricted Payments, Limitation on Asset Sales, Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries and certain provisions of the Successor Company covenant.

Covenants

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Spanish Government Loan

In connection with the Colomer Acquisition, the Company acquired the Colomer Group’s euro-denominated loan payable to the Spanish government (the “Spanish Government Loan”), which loan had $0.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 30, 2016 (based on foreign exchange rates in effect as of such date). The Spanish Government Loan does not bear interest and is payable in 10 equal installments on June 30th of each year beginning in 2016 through 2025.

Impact of Foreign Currency Translation - Venezuela

Revlon Venezuela’s net sales are de minimis, representing approximately 1% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for each 2015, 2014 and 2013. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Revlon Venezuela’s assets represented approximately 1% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.

Venezuela - Highly-Inflationary Economy: Effective January 1, 2010, Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, beginning January 1, 2010, the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary in Venezuela (“Revlon Venezuela”). As Venezuela is designated as highly inflationary, foreign currency translation adjustments of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet have been reflected in the Company’s earnings.

Venezuela - Currency Restrictions: Foreign currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government since 2003 have become more restrictive and have impacted Revlon Venezuela’s ability to obtain U.S. Dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars (“Bolivars”) at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, the Comisión de Administracion de Divisas (“CADIVI”). In May 2010, the Venezuelan government took control over the previously freely-traded foreign currency exchange market and, in June 2010, replaced it with a new foreign currency exchange system, the Sistema de Transacciones en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”). In the second quarter of 2011, the Company began using a

101

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SITME rate of 5.5 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SITME Rate”) to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements, as this was the rate at which the Company accessed U.S. Dollars in the SITME market during this period. Through December 31, 2012, the Company continued using the SITME Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements.

Venezuela - 2013 Foreign Currency Devaluation: In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of Bolivars relative to the U.S. Dollar, changing the official exchange rate to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “Official Rate”). The Venezuelan government also announced that the SITME foreign currency market administered by Venezuela’s central bank would be eliminated, and as a result, the Company began using the Official Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning in 2013. To reflect the impact of the foreign currency devaluation, the Company recorded a one-time foreign currency loss of $0.6 million in earnings in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities.

Venezuela - 2014 Foreign Currency Devaluation: In January 2014, the Venezuela government announced that the CADIVI would be replaced by the government-operated National Center of Foreign Commerce, and indicated that the Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas (“SICAD”) market would continue to be offered as an alternative foreign currency exchange. Additionally, a parallel foreign currency exchange system, SICAD II, started functioning in March 2014 and allowed companies to apply for the purchase of foreign currency and foreign currency denominated securities for any legal use or purpose. Throughout 2014, the Company exchanged Bolivars for U.S. Dollars to the extent permitted through the various foreign currency markets available based on its ability to participate in those markets. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Company utilized the Official Rate and following a consideration of the Company’s specific facts and circumstances, which included its legal ability and intent to participate in the SICAD II exchange market to import finished goods into Venezuela, the Company determined that it was appropriate to utilize the SICAD II rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SICAD II Rate”) to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning on June 30, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities. For 2014, the change to the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, as compared to the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, had the impact of reducing the Company’s consolidated net sales by $16.2 million and reducing the Company’s consolidated operating income by $8.4 million.

Venezuela - 2015 Foreign Currency Devaluation: In February 2015, the Venezuela government introduced a new foreign currency exchange platform, the Marginal Currency System (“SIMADI”), which created a third new mechanism to exchange Bolivars for U.S. Dollars through private brokers. SIMADI replaced the SICAD II system and started operating on February 12, 2015. As a result, the Company considered its specific facts and circumstances in order to determine the appropriate rate of exchange to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has not participated in the SIMADI exchange market; however, given the elimination of the SICAD II system, the Company determined that it was appropriate to use the SIMADI rate of 193 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SIMADI Rate”) to translate Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet beginning on March 31, 2015.

As a result of the change from the SICAD II Rate to the SIMADI Rate on March 31, 2015, the Company was required to re-measure all of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities at the SIMADI Rate. Using the SIMADI Rate, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 as a result of the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company exited its business operations in Venezuela and changed to a distributor model. Current or additional governmental restrictions, worsening import authorization controls, price and profit controls or labor unrest in Venezuela could impact the Company’s ability to sell to the distributor in Venezuela.

Sources and Uses

The Company’s principal sources of funds are expected to be operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the New Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit, as well as the availability of funds from the Company taking certain measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. All of our principal debt agreements contain or will contain provisions that by their terms limit the amount of additional debt that Products Corporation and its subsidiaries’ may incur.

102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company used a significant amount of cash to pay the purchase price in the Acquisition and fees and expenses related to the Transactions, as well as to refinance and retire the Refinanced Indebtedness (including the Old Revlon Term Loans, the Old Revlon Revolver and all of the old Elizabeth Arden indebtedness). The Company also expects to use cash to pay its operating expenses, including expenses in connection with the continued execution of the Company’s business strategy; purchases of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement benefit plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs; debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting certain territories. The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in 2015 were $18.1 million. The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in the first six months of 2016 were $3.6 million. The Company expects cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans to be approximately $10.0 million in the aggregate for 2016. The Company’s cash taxes paid in 2015 were $25.2 million. The Company’s cash taxes paid in the first six months of 2016 were $12.9 million. The Company expects to pay cash taxes of approximately $30.0 million in the aggregate for 2016. The Company’s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in 2015 were $47.4 million and $48.3 million, respectively. The Company’s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in the first six months of 2016 were $17.5 million and $18.6 million, respectively. The Company expects purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures to be approximately $50.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, in the aggregate for 2016. See also Note 2, “Business Combinations,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus, for discussion regarding the utilization of funds related to the Company’s April 2015 CBB Acquisition.

The Company has undertaken, and continues to assess, refine and implement, a number of programs to efficiently manage its working capital, including, among other things, initiatives intended to optimize inventory levels over time; centralized procurement to secure discounts and efficiencies; prudent management of trade receivables and accounts payable; and controls on general and administrative spending. In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s source or use of cash from operating activities may vary on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of working capital flows.

Continuing to execute the Company’s business strategy could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining the Company’s approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Colomer Acquisition and CBB Acquisition. Any of these actions, the intended purpose of which would be to create value through improving the Company’s financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities. Any such activities may be funded with cash on hand, funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt.

The Company may also, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt obligations and/or equity in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions. Any retirement or purchase of debt and/or equity may be funded with operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material.

The Company expects that operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the New Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay its operating expenses and fulfill its other cash needs for at least the next twelve months, including: (i) paying the cash consideration and fees related to the Transactions; (ii) making additional capital expenditures and other payments in order to achieve the cost reductions and synergies in connection with the Acquisition; (iii) paying expenses in connection with the execution of the Company’s business strategy; (iv) purchases of permanent wall displays; (v) capital expenditure requirements; (vi) debt service payments and costs; (vii) cash

tax payments; (viii) pension and other post-retirement plan contributions; (ix) payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs; (x) payments in connection with business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; (xi) payments in connection with severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, (xii) payments in connection with debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; and (xiii) payments in connection with costs related to litigation and/or discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting certain territories.

Available funds may not be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If the Company’s anticipated level of revenues is not achieved because of, among other things, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences; inventory management by the Company’s customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company’s customers; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers; or less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for restructuring costs, acquisition and integration costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company’s customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements.

Any such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company’s revenues and operating income and could adversely affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with various covenants under the New Senior Facilities and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. (See “Risk Factors – The Company’s ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or Products Corporation may be unable to meet the requirements of the financial covenants under the New Senior Facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows” and certain other risk factors discussing certain risks associated with the company’s business and indebtedness).

Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts

Products Corporation enters into FX Contracts and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain net cash flows denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations. The FX Contracts are entered into primarily for the purpose of hedging anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. At June 30, 2016, the FX Contracts outstanding had a notional amount of $74.2 million and a net liability fair value of $0.7 million.

Interest Rate Swap Transaction

In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction with a 1.00% floor, based on a notional amount of $400.0 million in respect of indebtedness under the Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan over a period of three years (the “2013 Interest Rate Swap”). The Company designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to the $400.0 million notional amount under Products Corporation’s Old Colomer Acquisition Term Loan over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Commencing in May 2015, Products Corporation receives from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR or 1.00%, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.0709% over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the 2013 Interest

104

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rate Swap was deemed effective and therefore the changes in fair value related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap have been recorded in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this prospectus. The fair value of the Company’s 2013 Interest Rate Swap at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was a liability of $7.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $1.1 million and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the counterparties to the Company’s derivative instruments, the Company believes the risk of loss arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties under these derivative instruments is remote.

Such amounts exclude employment agreements, severance and other immaterial contractual commitments, which severance and other contractual commitments related to restructuring activities are discussed in Note 3, “Restructuring Charges,” to the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical experience and ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables and evaluations of the risks of payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against trade receivable balances when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income when received.

Sales Returns:

The Company allows customers, primarily within its Consumer segment, to return their unsold products when they meet certain company-established criteria as outlined in the Company’s trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, the Company’s estimates of sales returns based primarily upon historical product returns experience, planned product discontinuances and promotional sales, which would permit customers to return products based upon the Company’s trade terms. The Company records estimated sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales, and an increase in accrued liabilities and inventories.

Returned products, which are recorded as inventories, are valued based upon the amount that the Company expects to realize upon their subsequent disposition. The physical condition and marketability of the returned products are the major factors the Company considers in estimating realizable value. Cost of sales includes the cost of refurbishment of returned products. Actual returns, as well as realized values on returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the Company’s estimates if factors such as product discontinuances, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations and, in the case of actual product returns, if economic conditions differ significantly from the Company’s estimates and expectations.

Trade Support Costs:

In order to support the retail trade, the Company has various performance-based arrangements with retailers to reimburse them for all or a portion of their promotional activities related to the Company’s products. The

106

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotions based on estimates of what has been incurred by the retailers. Actual costs incurred by the Company may differ significantly if factors such as the level and success of the retailers’ programs, as well as retailer participation levels, differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations.

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is based on standard cost and production variances, which approximates actual cost on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor and direct overhead, as well as in-bound freight. The Company records adjustments to the value of inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell its inventories, as well as planned discontinuances. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations.

Pension Benefits:

The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded pension and other retirement plans in various forms covering employees who meet the applicable eligibility requirements. The Company uses several statistical and other factors in an attempt to estimate future events in calculating the liability and net periodic benefit income/cost related to these plans. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate, expected long-term return on plan assets and rate of future compensation increases as determined annually by the Company, within certain guidelines, which assumptions would be subject to revisions if significant events occur during the year. The Company uses December 31st as its measurement date for defined benefit pension plan obligations and plan assets.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company adopted an alternative approach to calculating the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and other post-retirement benefits, the “full yield curve” approach. Under this method, the discount rate assumption was built through the application of specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows for each of the Company’s pension and other retirement plans. Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company estimated the service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. This change does not affect the measurement of the Company’s total benefit obligations, as the change in service and interest costs is exactly offset in the actuarial loss (gain) recognized for each year. The Company made this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. The change has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle, and accordingly, has been accounted for prospectively.

The Company utilized a 4.15% weighted average discount rate in 2015 for the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans, compared to a 3.89% weighted average discount rate in 2014. The Company utilized a 3.68% weighted average discount rate for the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans in 2015, compared to a 3.74% weighted average discount rate selected in 2014. The discount rates are used to measure the benefit obligations at the measurement date and the net periodic benefit income/cost for the subsequent calendar year and are reset annually using data available at the measurement date. The changes in the discount rates used for 2015 were primarily due to observed increases in long-term interest yields on high-quality corporate bonds from 2014.

In selecting its expected long-term rate of return on its plan assets, the Company considers a number of factors, including, without limitation, recent and historical performance of plan assets, the plan portfolios’ asset allocations over a variety of time periods compared with third-party studies, the performance of the capital markets in recent years and other factors, as well as advice from various third parties, such as the plans’ advisors, investment managers and actuaries. While the Company considered both the recent performance and the historical performance of plan assets, the Company’s assumptions are based primarily on its estimates of long-term, prospective rates of return. The difference between actual and expected return on plan assets is

reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Those gains or losses that are subject to amortization over future periods will be recognized as a component of the net periodic benefit cost in such future periods. For the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans, the expected long-term rate of return on the pension plan assets used was 7.50% for 2015 and 7.75% for 2014. The weighted average expected long-term rate of return used for the Company’s international plans was 6.00% for both 2015 and 2014. For 2015, the Company’s pension plans assets realized a loss of $13.9 million, as compared with expected return on assets of $40.3 million. The resulting net deferred loss of $54.2 million, when combined with gains and losses from previous years, will be amortized over periods ranging from approximately 10 to 30 years. The actual return on plan assets was below expectations, primarily due to lower returns in developed equity markets and bond yields.

The rate of future compensation increases is another assumption used by the Company’s third-party actuarial consultants for pension accounting. The rate of future compensation increases used for the Company’s projected pension benefit obligation in 2015 was 3.50%, as compared to 3.00% in 2014 for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Such increase was not applied to the Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan and the Revlon Pension Equalization Plan, as the rate of future compensation increases is no longer relevant to such plans due to plan amendments which effectively froze these plans as of December 31, 2009.

In addition, the Company’s actuarial consultants also use other factors such as withdrawal and mortality rates. The actuarial assumptions used by the Company may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants, among other things. Differences from these assumptions could significantly impact the actual amount of net periodic benefit cost and liability recorded by the Company.

To determine the fiscal 2016 net periodic benefit income/cost, the Company is using the “full yield curve approach” described above to separately calculate discount rates for each of the service and interest components. The following table represents the weighted average discount rates used in calculating each component of service and interest costs for the Company’s U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans:

For 2016, the Company is using long-term rates of return on pension plan assets of 7.00% and 6.00% for its U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans, respectively. The Company expects that the impact in 2016 of the change in calculating the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and other post-retirement benefits following the adoption of the full yield curve approach as discussed above will result in net periodic benefit income of approximately $5.1 million for 2016. The Company expects that the impact of the changes in discount rates and the return on plan assets in 2016 will result in net periodic benefit expense of $3.4 million for 2016, compared to $1.9 million of net periodic benefit income in 2015.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized net periodic benefit income of $0.4 million, compared to net periodic benefit income of $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the lower expected return on plan assets, partially offset by lower interest cost as a result of the Company’s adoption of the full yield curve approach as discussed above.

The Company expects that it will have net periodic benefit income of approximately $1 million for its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans for all of 2016, compared with net periodic benefit cost of $18.8 million in 2015.

During the first six months of 2016, $3.1 million and $0.5 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively. During 2016, the Company expects to contribute approximately $10 million in the aggregate to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets:

In determining the fair values of net assets acquired, including trade names, customer relationships and other intangible assets, and resulting goodwill related to the Company’s business acquisitions, the Company considers, among other factors, the analyses of historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business. The fair values of the acquired intangible assets are primarily calculated using a discounted cash flow approach.

Determining fair value requires significant estimates and assumptions based on an evaluation of a number of factors, such as marketplace participants, product life cycles, consumer awareness, brand history and future expansion expectations. There are significant judgments inherent in a discounted cash flow approach, including, the selection of appropriate discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates, contributory asset capital charges, estimating the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and identification of appropriate terminal growth rate assumptions. The discount rates used in discounted cash flow analyses are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the respective acquired intangible assets.

Determining an acquired intangible asset’s useful life requires management judgment and is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including the expected use of the asset, consumer awareness, trade name history and future expansion expectations, as well as any contractual provisions that could limit or extend an asset’s useful life. The Company believes that an acquired trade name has an indefinite life if it has a history of strong revenue and cash flow performance, and the Company has the intent and ability to support the trade name with marketplace spending for the foreseeable future. If this indefinite-lived criteria is not met, acquired trade names are amortized over their expected useful lives, which generally range from five to 20 years.

Goodwill totaled $476.7 million as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, goodwill totaled $218.7 million, $240.9 million and $17.1 million related to the Consumer, Professional and Other segments, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangibles totaled $101.0 million and $95.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but rather are reviewed annually for impairment using September 30th carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the current carrying amounts may not be recovered. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to any such excess. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company establishes its reporting units based on its current reporting structure, product characteristics and management. Within the Consumer segment, the Company has identified two reporting units: (i) “Global Color Brands,” which includes the SinfulColors and Pure Ice nail enamel brands; and (ii) “Revlon, Almay and Other,” which includes the remainder of the Company’s Consumer brands and does not include brands of the Company’s Other reportable segment. The Company’s other reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 18, “Segment Data and Related Information” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in this prospectus. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill has been allocated to each reporting unit to the extent that goodwill relates to each reporting unit.

For 2015, the Company utilized the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, in order to identify potential impairment for each of its reporting units. In the first step of this test, the Company compared the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the respective carrying amount, including goodwill. Where the fair value of such reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount, no further work was required and no impairment loss was recognized. The results of the step one test indicated that impairment indicators may have existed for the Company’s Global Color Brands reporting unit as a result of the observed decline in sales of the Pure Ice nail enamel brand, primarily driven by the effects of declines in the promotional activity for the Pure Ice brand at retailers, and accordingly, the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit.

In the second step, the Company measured the potential impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the Global Color Brands reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill at September 30, 2015. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, where the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was allocated to all the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit (including both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that reporting unit’s goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized within operations. The Company determined the fair value of the Global Color Brands reporting unit using discounted estimated future cash flows. The weighted average cost of capital in testing the Global Color Brands reporting unit for impairment was 13.0% with a perpetual growth rate of 2.0%. As a result of this annual impairment test, the Company recognized a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Global Color Brands reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2015. Following the recognition of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, the Global Color Brands reporting unit has remaining goodwill in the amount of $25.6 million at December 31, 2015.

As of the date of the latest impairment test, the fair values of the (i) Revlon, Almay and Other; (ii) Professional; and (iii) Other reporting units exceeded their carrying values by approximately $2.5 billion, $310.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Products Corporation did not record any impairment of identified intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2015.

For 2014 and 2013, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it would be necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test and to assess the Company’s indefinite lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment, and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

See Note 2, “Business Combinations” and Note 8, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets.

Income Taxes:

The Company records income taxes based on amounts payable with respect to the current year and includes the effect of deferred taxes. The effective tax rate reflects statutory tax rates, tax-planning opportunities that may be available in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the Company’s estimate of the ultimate outcome of various tax audits and issues. Determining the Company’s effective tax rate and evaluating tax positions requires significant judgment.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which management expects that the Company will recover or settle those differences. The realization of the deferred tax assets is primarily dependent

on forecasted future taxable income. The Company has established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets when management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize a tax benefit. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income may require the Company to record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance was not previously established. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Provision for income taxes,” for further discussion.

The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position. The Company recognizes liabilities for unrecognized tax positions in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts is ultimately not required, the reversal of the liabilities would result in additional tax benefits recognized in the period in which the Company determines that the liabilities are no longer required. If the estimate of tax liabilities is ultimately less than the final assessment, this will result in a further charge to expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The Company provides for U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on foreign subsidiaries’ cumulative undistributed earnings when it is not the Company’s intent to indefinitely reinvest such earnings overseas. No provision is made for U.S. income taxes where the Company’s plan is to indefinitely reinvest such undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign operations in its overseas operations. If these future foreign earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines that such foreign earnings will be remitted to the U.S. in the foreseeable future, additional U.S. tax provisions may be required.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of: (i) a major geographical area of operations; (ii) a major line of business; (iii) a major equity method investment; or (iv) other major parts of an entity. ASU No. 2014-08 no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if: (i) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations; or (ii) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. Additional disclosures about discontinued operations will also be required. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and is to be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2015, and such adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including transactions in which an employee uses shares to satisfy the employer’s minimum statutory income tax withholding obligation, forfeitures and income taxes when awards vest or are settled. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 beginning on January 1, 2017 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment such as for initial direct costs. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual

periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 beginning on January 1, 2019 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent within a company’s balance sheet. Currently, the Company is required to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts on its classified balance sheet, and this update will simplify the presentation by requiring a single, noncurrent amount. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the current requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2015-11 beginning on January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the financial statements as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 beginning January 1, 2018 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” that will explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. According to ASU No. 2014-15, substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The likelihood threshold of “probable,” similar to its current

use in U.S. GAAP for loss contingencies, will be used to define substantial doubt. Disclosures will be required under ASU No. 2014-15 if conditions give rise to substantial doubt including whether and how management’s plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption prohibited. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-15 beginning January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

Inflation

The Company’s costs are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation that the Company may experience in future periods. Management believes, however, that such effects have not been material to the Company during the past three years in the U.S. and in foreign non-hyperinflationary countries. The Company operates in certain countries around the world, such as Argentina and Venezuela, which have experienced hyperinflation. In hyperinflationary foreign countries, the Company attempts to mitigate the effects of inflation by increasing prices in line with inflation, where possible, and efficiently managing its costs and working capital levels.

Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden

On June 16, 2016, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Parent, Products Corporation, RR Transaction Corp. and Elizabeth Arden (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which we acquired Elizabeth Arden (the “Acquisition”) on September 7, 2016. Elizabeth Arden is a global prestige beauty products company with an extensive portfolio of iconic beauty brands that are highly complementary to our existing brand portfolio and are sold worldwide.

114

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In North America, Elizabeth Arden’s principal customers include prestige retailers, the mass retail channel and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its branded retail outlet stores and e-commerce business. Elizabeth Arden products are also sold through the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa beauty salons and spas. Internationally, Elizabeth Arden’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands is sold to perfumeries, boutiques, department stores, travel retailers and distributors.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, Elizabeth Arden generated Adjusted Net Sales of $966.7 million and Elizabeth Arden Adjusted EBITDA of $25.2 million. Elizabeth Arden’s profitability in recent periods has been negatively affected by underperformance within celebrity fragrances, prior underinvestment in the Elizabeth Arden brand, unprofitable distribution relationships, and a cost structure with excessive overhead. To remedy these issues, Elizabeth Arden management has reduced its exposure to celebrity fragrances, made significant investments in repositioning the Elizabeth Arden brand, driven growth via innovation, and exited unprofitable distributor relationships. Additionally, Elizabeth Arden’s management has implemented material cost reduction plans in order to improve profitability via its 2014 Performance Improvement Plan and its 2016 Business Transformation Program (as defined below). These two initiatives are expected to generate approximately $51 million of annualized cost reductions. On a pro forma combined basis, we would have generated approximately $403.6 million of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA during the year ended June 30, 2016. Pro Forma Adjusted Net Sales would have been approximately $2,888.6 million. The financial information above does not reflect the realization of any expected cost reductions or other synergies from the Acquisition. Based on our extensive integration planning, we expect to achieve $139.3 million of synergies and cost reductions relating to the Acquisition.

Elizabeth Arden’s presence in important international growth regions, including Asia Pacific, better positions our company to compete globally. We expect that Elizabeth Arden’s established e-commerce platform will facilitate our access to the fast-growing Asia Pacific region, where the beauty industry grew at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2010 to 2015, compared to a CAGR of 5.1% for the global beauty industry during the same period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Significant Growth Opportunity. Elizabeth Arden is a highly recognized prestige brand. The brand generated $394.9 million of Adjusted Net Sales during the year ended June 30, 2016. We believe that we have the ability to improve the performance of this brand by leveraging our existing new product development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities globally. We believe that the Elizabeth Arden brand can achieve accelerated growth through more relevant innovation, improved product efficacy and a rejuvenated, more vibrant image. The management team at Elizabeth Arden prior to the Acquisition had already began the global repositioning of the Elizabeth Arden brand, which resulted in adjusted net sales growth of 0.3%, or 5.9% at constant currency rates, for the year ended June 30, 2016, and we expect to build on that progress.

Clearly Identifiable and Achievable Synergies and Cost Reduction Opportunities. Based on our extensive integration planning, we expect to achieve $139.3 million of synergies and cost reductions by, among other things, leveraging our efficient manufacturing capabilities and enhancing purchasing scale. We anticipate that approximately 40% of synergies and cost reductions will come from cost of goods sold, approximately 35% will come from the consolidation of redundant headcount and approximately 25% will come from other selling, general and administrative expenses. The companies also anticipate that they will achieve additional growth opportunities in both sales channels and geographies.

Our management team has extensively analyzed the synergy and cost reduction opportunity and implementation timetable related to the Acquisition. Over the span of approximately two months following the announcement of the Acquisition, our Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer led a cross-functional team comprised of professionals from both Products Corporation and Elizabeth Arden that developed a detailed and achievable analytical roadmap to achieve selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) synergies and cost reductions. During this same time period, our Chief Supply Chain Officer led a team of supply chain and operations finance professionals that analyzed Elizabeth Arden’s sourcing and procurement network and contracts in collaboration with Elizabeth Arden’s supply chain leaders. This team performed various analyses focused on, but not limited to, the feasibility of in-sourcing strategic portions of Elizabeth Arden’s production volume into Revlon’s existing manufacturing platform and analyzing overlaps within common direct spend categories. We believe that our detailed analysis and extensive work surrounding synergies and cost reductions has generated an implementation plan that we believe is achievable. Since closing the Acquisition, we have continued our efforts in these areas.

We expect to achieve synergies in three main categories:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We anticipate incurring approximately $60 million of non-recurring expenses over the next four years to achieve the anticipated synergies and cost reductions and approximately $70 million in non-recurring capital expenditures over the next three years to complete the integration of the companies and strengthen the combined business. Non-recurring expenses include costs to achieve headcount rationalization, information technology costs to implement systems and infrastructure, and costs associated with consolidating footprint and relocating employees. Non-recurring capital expenditures include investments in technology implementation and hardware as well as investments in tooling, distribution and building expansion.

Industry Overview

According to Euromonitor, the global Beauty category, defined as mass skincare, mass hair, salon hair, mass color cosmetics, mass deodorant, facial skincare and fragrance, generated approximately $326 billion in retail sales in 2015.

Our Strengths

We believe that we have the following competitive strengths that will help us succeed and differentiate us from our competitors:

Broad Beauty Care Brand Portfolio and Expanded Scale Across Categories. We believe that the global recognition of our brands, product quality and marketing experience will enable us to create one of the strongest beauty brand portfolios in the world. Our current portfolio consists of well-known brands, including Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors, Pure Ice, Revlon ColorSilk, American Crew, CND, Cutex and Mitchum, which we believe have significant brand equity with consumers and retailers. The Acquisition has added additional attractive brands, such as Elizabeth Arden, Juicy Couture, John Varvatos, Curve, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and significantly enhances the scale of our operations. Our strength and expertise in color cosmetics, hair color and hair care, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants and beauty tools is complemented by the addition of Elizabeth Arden’s portfolio of both licensed fragrances and Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances and internationally-recognized line of skin care products, while enhancing our scale. We anticipate that the combined company’s scale and ability to provide innovative, high-quality products across multiple high-growth categories within the global beauty market will allow us to expand and strengthen both our customer and supplier relationships.

The following table sets forth our principal brands by product category, reflecting the Acquisition of Elizabeth Arden:


Enhanced Channel Distribution and Well-Developed Relationships with Retail Partners. Elizabeth Arden’s strong global reach in prestige, department stores, spas, and travel retail complements our strength in mass retail, specialty retail and salons, strongly positioning us in all key beauty channels. We have long-established and well-developed relationships with our retail partners around the world. We work closely with our retail partners to ensure that we have the appropriate product offering for our consumers. These relationships enhance our ability to successfully and profitably grow our business globally.

History of Developing and Marketing Innovative Products. We have a history of building and leveraging our strong brands and believe that continued development and creative marketing of innovative new products is a key driver for building brand equity and profitable growth. We believe that we are an industry leader in the development of innovative and technologically-advanced cosmetics, skin care, fragrances and beauty products.

In meeting the needs of consumers, our global portfolio planning process delivers new products across our portfolio of brands, while at the same time keeping our established brands relevant and competitive, by developing and introducing line extensions and promotions and redesigning or reformulating existing products. Products recently introduced or anticipated to be introduced in the marketplace include:

Revlon Color Cosmetics: New mascara line, new Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor line, ColorStay Foundation and Concealer 2-in-1, new men’s beauty tools line, Visible Difference, Ceramide, SuperStart, Beautiful Color Bold

Prevage: Prevage City Smart + DNA Enzyme ComplexTM + Anti-pollution + Antioxidants Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Hydrating Shield, Advanced Ceramide Capsules Youth Restoring Serum, Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist, Prevage Anti-aging Foundation Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30, and White Tea

Broad Global Footprint. Our existing products are sold in approximately 150 countries around the world, and we have a strong international business with leading market positions in key product categories in Australia, Canada and South Africa. The Acquisition positions us to compete globally given Elizabeth Arden’s presence in important international growth regions, including the Asia Pacific region.

Successful Track Record of Acquiring and Integrating Businesses. We have opportunistically pursued acquisitions that enhance our brand and product portfolio as well as our geographic reach. The recent acquisitions of Colomer in 2013, CBBeauty in 2015 and the remaining international Cutex businesses that we did not already own in 2015 and 2016 have grown and diversified our business, while enabling us to enter new channels. While we identified $25 million of synergies and cost reductions in our Colomer transaction in 2013, we delivered over $35 million, representing an approximate 40% improvement over our initial estimates. We also acquired and integrated SinfulColors in 2011. We have a well-defined and disciplined strategy for identifying, acquiring and integrating businesses and believe that our proven acquisition capabilities will allow us to participate successfully in further industry growth.

Develop a Cost Structure to Deliver World Class Profitability. We will continue to improve our operating performance by strategically allocating investments behind key brands, categories and regions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company operates an extensive research and development facility in Edison, New Jersey for products within its Consumer segment. The Company has research facilities for its products within the Professional segment in the U.S. (in California and Florida), Spain and Mexico. The scientists at these various facilities are responsible for all of the Company’s new product research and development worldwide and performing research for new products, ideas, concepts and packaging. The Company’s package development and engineering function is also part of the greater research and development organization and fosters a strong synergy of package and formula development, which is integral to a product’s success. The research and development group performs extensive safety and quality testing on the Company’s products, including toxicology, microbiology, efficacy and package testing. Additionally, quality control testing is performed at each of the Company’s manufacturing facilities.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company employed approximately 200 people in its research and development activities, including specialists in pharmacology, toxicology, chemistry, microbiology, engineering, biology, dermatology and quality control. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, Products Corporation spent $31.2 million, $31.6 million and $26.9 million, respectively, on research and development activities. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, Elizabeth Arden spent $4.7 million, $5.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, on research and development activities.

Manufacturing and Related Operations and Raw Materials

During 2015, the Company’s products were produced at the Company’s facilities in the U.S. (North Carolina and Florida), South Africa, Spain, Italy and Mexico, and at third-party facilities around the world.

The Company continually reviews its manufacturing needs against its manufacturing capacities to identify opportunities to reduce costs and to operate more efficiently. The Company purchases raw materials and components throughout the world, and continuously pursues reductions in cost of goods through the global sourcing of raw materials and components from qualified vendors, utilizing its purchasing capacity to optimize cost reductions. The Company’s global sourcing strategy for materials and components from qualified vendors is also designed to ensure that the Company maintains a continuous supply of high-quality raw materials and components. The Company believes that alternate sources of raw materials and components exist and does not anticipate any significant shortages of, or difficulty in obtaining, such materials. (See “Risk Factors – The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of its products. Disruptions at this facility, and/or at other Company or third-party facilities at which the Company’s products are manufactured, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.”)

Distribution

The Company’s products are sold in approximately 150 countries across six continents. The Company utilizes a dedicated sales force in those countries where the Company maintains operations, and also utilizes sales representatives and independent distributors to serve certain territories and retailers. (See “Risk Factors – The Company may be unable to maintain or increase its sales through the Company’s primary retailers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows” and “Competition in the cosmetics, hair care, beauty care, fragrance and skin care business could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.”)

United States. Net sales in the U.S. accounted for approximately 55% of the Company’s 2015 net sales, which were made in multiple channels, including retail, Internet/e-commerce and specialty cosmetics stores. The Company also sells a broad range of beauty products to U.S. Government military exchanges and commissaries. The Company licenses its Revlon trademark to select manufacturers for complementary beauty-related products and accessories that the Company believes have the potential to extend the Company’s brand names and image. As of December 31, 2015, seven of these licenses were in effect relating to fifteen product categories. Pursuant to these licenses, the Company retains strict control over product design and development, product quality, advertising and the use of its trademarks. These licensing arrangements offer opportunities for the Company to generate revenues and cash flow through royalties and renewal fees, some of which are prepaid from time to time.

In the Consumer segment, the Company’s retail merchandisers stock and maintain the Company’s point-of-sale wall displays intended to ensure that high-selling SKUs are in stock and to ensure the optimal

TABLE OF CONTENTS

presentation of the Company’s products in retail outlets. The Company’s products within its Professional segment are sold primarily through wholesale beauty supply distributors in the U.S.

Outside of the United States. Net sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 45% of the Company’s 2015 net sales. The three countries outside the U.S. with the highest net sales were Spain, Canada and Australia, which together accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s 2015 net sales. The Company distributes its products within its Consumer segment through large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, the Internet/e-commerce, television shopping, department stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, specialty cosmetics stores and perfumeries. The Company’s products within its Professional segment are sold directly to hair and nail salons by the Company’s direct sales force in countries where it has operations and through distributors in other countries outside the U.S. At June 30, 2016, the Company actively sold its products through wholly owned subsidiaries established in 23 countries outside of the U.S. and through a large number of independent distributors and licensees elsewhere around the world.

Customers

The Company’s principal customers for its Consumer segment include large volume retailers and chain drug stores, including such well-known retailers as Walmart, CVS and Target in the U.S., Shoppers DrugMart in Canada, A.S. Watson & Co. retail chains in Asia Pacific and Europe and Walgreens Boots Alliance in the U.S. and the U.K. Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 18% of the Company’s 2015 consolidated net sales. The Company’s principal customers for its Professional segment include Beauty Systems Group, Salon Centric and Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, as well as individual hair and nail salons and other distributors to professional salons. As is customary in the industry, none of the Company’s customers is under an obligation to continue purchasing products from the Company in the future. The Company expects that Walmart and a small number of other customers will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company’s net sales. (See “Risk Factors—”The Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its net sales and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce the Company’s net sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.”)

Competition

The Company’s cosmetics, hair and beauty care products business categories are highly competitive. The Company competes primarily by:

developing quality products with innovative performance features, shades, finishes, components and packaging;
educating consumers and salon professionals about the benefits of the Company’s products;
anticipating and responding to changing consumer and salon professional demands in a timely manner, including the timing of new product introductions and line extensions;
offering attractively priced products relative to the product benefits provided;
maintaining favorable brand recognition;
generating competitive margins and inventory turns for its customers in both the Consumer and Professional segments by providing relevant products and executing effective pricing, incentive and promotional programs and marketing campaigns;
ensuring product availability through effective planning and replenishment collaboration with retailers and salons;
providing strong and effective advertising, marketing, promotion and merchandising support;
maintaining an effective sales force and distributor network; and
obtaining and retaining sufficient retail display and floor space, optimal in-store positioning and effective presentation of its products at retail and in salons.

The Company competes in selected product categories against numerous multi-national manufacturers in both the Consumer and Professional segments, as well as with expanding private label and store-owned brands in

129

the Consumer segment. In addition to products sold in large volume retailers, professional salons and demonstrator-assisted retailers, the Company’s products also compete with products sold in prestige and department stores, television shopping, door-to-door, specialty stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, the Internet/e-commerce, perfumeries and other distribution outlets.

The patents that the Company currently has in place expire at various times between 2016 and 2033 and the Company expects to continue to file patent applications on certain of its technologies in the ordinary course of business in the future.

Government Regulation

The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in the U.S., as well as various other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities, including those in the European Union (the “EU”), Canada and other countries in which the Company operates. The Company’s Oxford, North Carolina manufacturing facility is registered with the FDA as a drug manufacturing establishment, permitting the manufacture of cosmetics and other beauty-care products that contain over-the-counter drug ingredients, such as sunscreens, anti-perspirant deodorants and anti-dandruff hair-care products. Compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material effect on the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Regulations in the U.S., the EU, Canada and in other countries in which the Company operates that are designed to protect consumers or the environment have an increasing influence on the Company’s product claims, ingredients and packaging. (See “Risk Factors—The Company’s products are subject to federal, state and international regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.”)

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period. See Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

On July 19, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit (Ross v.

The plaintiff seeks, among other things, injunctive relief prohibiting consummation of the Merger, compensatory damages or rescissory damages and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses.

On July 25, 2016, a lawsuit (Hutson v. Elizabeth Arden, Inc., et al., Case No. CACE-16-013566) (which we refer to as the “Hutson complaint”) was filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against Elizabeth Arden, the members of the board of directors of Elizabeth Arden, Parent, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub.

On July 25, 2016, a lawsuit (Stein v. Rhône Capital L.L.C. et al., Case No. CACE-16-013580) (which we refer to as the “Stein complaint”) was filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against Rhône Capital L.L.C., Nightingale Onshore Holdings L.P., Nightingale Offshore Holdings L.P., the members of the boards of directors of Elizabeth Arden, Parent, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub. In general, the Stein complaint alleges that (i) the members of the Elizabeth Arden board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders with respect to the Merger, by, among other things, approving the Merger pursuant to an unfair process and at an inadequate and unfair price, and (ii) Parent, Products Corporation, and

132

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Acquisition Sub aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by the members of the board. The Stein complaint also alleges that Rhône Capital L.L.C., Nightingale Onshore Holdings, L.P. and Nightingale Offshore Holdings, L.P. breached alleged fiduciary duties owed by such entities to the holders of Elizabeth Arden common stock and to Elizabeth Arden. The plaintiff seeks relief similar to that sought in the Parker case.

By Order dated August 4, 2016, all five cases were consolidated by the Court. Thereafter, on August 11, 2016 a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was filed, seeking to enjoin Defendants from consummating the merger and/or from soliciting shareholder votes. To the extent that the sale is consummated, the Consolidated Amended Complaint seeks to rescind the merger or recover rescissory or other compensatory damages, along with costs and fees. The grounds for relief set forth in the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint in large part track those grounds as asserted in the five individual Complaints previously filed. Class counsel advised that post consummation of the merger they were going to file a Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, but to date no such complaint has been filed.

The Company believes the allegations contained in the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger may be filed in the future.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee does not have any interlocks or insider participation requiring disclosure under the SEC’s executive compensation rules.

Director Independence

Parent is a “controlled company” (i.e., one in which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company) within the meaning of New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules. Accordingly, Parent is not required to have a majority of independent directors, a nominating and corporate governance committee or a compensation committee (each of which committees, under the NYSE’s rules, would otherwise be required to be comprised entirely of independent directors). Parent currently avails itself of the NYSE’s “controlled-company” exemption from the requirement to have a majority of independent directors and the requirement to have a nominating and corporate governance committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board has determined that of the director nominees listed in this prospectus, Messrs. Bernikow, Dinh and Feldberg and Mses. Kurzman, Mellon and Falcone Sorrell qualify as independent directors under Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “NYSE Manual”) and under the Revlon, Inc. Board Guidelines for Assessing Director Independence (the “Independence Guidelines”). The Independence Guidelines are available at www.revloninc.com under the heading Investor Relations - Corporate Governance. If Parent changes the Independence Guidelines in any material respect, Parent expects to provide the public with notice of any such change by publishing an appropriate description of such event on its corporate website, www.revloninc.com, or by other appropriate means as required or permitted under applicable rules of the SEC.

Even though as a “controlled company,” Parent is not required to have a Compensation Committee (which, under NYSE rules, would otherwise be required to be comprised entirely of independent directors), the Board does maintain a Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Bernikow (Chairman) and Kretzman and Mses. Kurzman and Perelman. The Board of Directors of Parent has determined that Mr. Bernikow and Ms. Kurzman qualify as independent directors under Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Manual and under the Independence Guidelines. The Board of Directors of Parent has also determined that Messrs. Bernikow and Kretzman and Ms. Kurzman qualify as “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and that Mr. Bernikow and Mses. Kurzman and Perelman qualify as “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors as required under SEC rules and NYSE standards.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Terms of the Exchange Offer

We are offering to issue $450 million aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes and related guarantees (collectively, the “exchange notes”), whose issuance is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, in exchange for our existing $450 million aggregate principal amount of initial notes and related guarantees (collectively, the “initial notes”). Unless the context otherwise requires, we refer to the initial notes and the exchange notes, collectively, as the “notes.”

The initial notes were originally issued by the Escrow Issuer pursuant to the indenture. On September 7, 2016, the Escrow Issuer was merged with and into Products Corporation, with Products Corporation being the surviving corporation, whereupon Products Corporation assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the initial notes and the indenture, and certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries guaranteed those obligations. The initial notes were issued and the exchange notes will be issued under the same indenture.

The exchange notes that we propose to issue in this exchange offer will be substantially identical to the form and terms of our initial notes except that, unlike our initial notes, (i) the issuance of the exchange notes is registered under the Securities Act, (ii) the exchange notes will be freely trade able by persons who are not our affiliates, and (iii) the exchange notes are not entitled to the registration rights applicable to the initial notes under the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, our obligation to pay additional interest on the initial notes due to the failure to consummate the exchange offer by the date specified in the Registration Rights Agreement does not apply to the exchange notes. You should read the description of the exchange notes in the section in this prospectus entitled “Description of Notes.”

Initial notes may be exchanged only for a minimum principal denomination of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any initial notes that remain outstanding following the expiration or termination of this exchange offer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to purchase initial notes in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, one or more additional tender or exchange offers or otherwise. The terms and prices of these purchases or offers could differ significantly from the terms of this exchange offer.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination

This exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on             , 2016, (the 21st business day following the date of this prospectus) unless we extend it in our sole discretion. The expiration date of this exchange offer will be at least 20 business days after the commencement of the exchange offer in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act.

We expressly reserve the right to delay acceptance of any initial notes, extend or terminate this exchange offer and not accept any initial notes that we have not previously accepted if any of the conditions described below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied or waived by us. We will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral notice promptly confirmed in writing or by written notice. We will also notify the holders of the initial notes by a press release or other public announcement communicated before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date unless applicable laws require us to do otherwise.

We also expressly reserve the right to amend the terms of this exchange offer in any manner. If we make any material change, we will promptly disclose this change in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of our initial notes of the change, including providing public announcement or giving oral or written notice to these holders. A material change in the terms of this exchange offer could include a change in the timing of the exchange offer, a change in the exchange agent and other similar changes in the terms of this exchange offer. If we make any material change to this exchange offer, we will disclose this change by means of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement (which includes this prospectus) and will distribute an amended or supplemented prospectus to each registered holder of initial notes. In addition, we will extend this exchange offer for up to an additional five to ten business days as required by the Exchange Act, depending on the significance of the amendment, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during that period. We will promptly notify the exchange agent by oral notice, promptly confirmed in writing, or written notice of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of this exchange offer.

Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes

Proper Execution and Delivery of Letters of Transmittal

To tender your initial notes in this exchange offer, you must use one of the three alternative procedures described below:

(1)Regular delivery procedure: Complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal. Have the signatures on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal. Mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the facsimile together with the certificates representing the initial notes being tendered and any other required documents to the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date;
(2)Book-entry delivery procedure: Send a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of your initial notes, if this procedure is available, into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with the procedures for book-entry transfer described under “—Book-Entry Delivery Procedure” below, before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date; or
(3)Guaranteed delivery procedure: If time will not permit you to complete your tender by using the procedures described in (1) or (2) above before the expiration date and this procedure is available, comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described under “—Guaranteed Delivery Procedure” below.

The method of delivery of the initial notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and risk. Instead of delivery by mail, we recommend that you use an overnight or hand-delivery service. If you choose the mail, we recommend that you use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. You should not send any letters of transmittal or initial notes to us. You must deliver all documents to the exchange agent at its address provided below. You may also request your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee to tender your initial notes on your behalf.

Only a holder of initial notes may tender initial notes in this exchange offer. A holder is any person in whose name initial notes are registered on our books or any other person who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder.

If you are the beneficial owner of initial notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your notes, you must contact that registered holder promptly and instruct that registered holder to tender your notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender your initial notes on your own behalf, you must, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your initial notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register the ownership of these notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.

You must have any signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal guaranteed by:

(1)a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial, Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”);
(2)a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; or
(3)an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, unless the initial notes are tendered:
(i)by a registered holder or by a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner, who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal and only if the exchange notes are being issued directly to this registered holder or deposited into this participant’s account at DTC; or
(ii)for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of FINRA, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act.

(2)a participant in DTC: the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the initial notes.
(3)a person other than the registered holder of any initial notes: these initial notes must be endorsed or accompanied by bond powers and a proxy that authorize this person to tender the initial notes on behalf of the registered holder, in satisfactory form to us as determined in our sole discretion, in each case, as the name of the registered holder or holders appears on the initial notes.
(4)trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity: these persons should so indicate when signing.

To tender your initial notes in this exchange offer, you must make the following representations:

(1)you are authorized to tender, sell, assign and transfer the initial notes tendered and to acquire exchange notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered initial notes, and that we will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by us;

(5)if you are not a broker-dealer, you represent that you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes; and
(6)if you are a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for initial notes that were acquired by you as a result of market-making or other trading activities, you acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale, offer to resell or other transfer of such exchange notes.

You must also warrant that the acceptance of any tendered initial notes by us and the issuance of exchange notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

To effectively tender notes through DTC, the financial institution that is a participant in DTC will electronically transmit its acceptance through the Automated Tender Offer Program. DTC will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an agent’s message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. An agent’s message is a message transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent stating that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the notes that this participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce this agreement against this participant.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Book-Entry Delivery Procedure

Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s systems may make book-entry deliveries of initial notes by causing DTC to transfer these initial notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer. To effectively tender the initial notes through DTC, the financial institution that is a participant in DTC will electronically transmit its acceptance through the Automated Tender Offer Program. DTC will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an agent’s message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. An agent’s message is a message transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent stating that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the initial notes that this participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce this agreement against this participant. The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account for the initial notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus.

A delivery of initial notes through a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC will only be effective if an agent’s message, or the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, is transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address indicated below under “—Exchange Agent” before the expiration date unless the guaranteed delivery procedures described below are complied with. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedure

If you are a registered holder of initial notes and desire to tender your notes, and (1) these notes are not immediately available, (2) time will not permit your notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date or (3) the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, you may still tender in this exchange offer if:

(1)you tender through a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of FINRA, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act;
(2)before the expiration date, the exchange agent receives a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile of the letter of transmittal), and a notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us, with your name and address as holder of the initial notes and the amount of notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made by that letter and notice and guaranteeing that within 3 NYSE trading days after the expiration date, the certificates for all the initial notes tendered, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation with an agent’s message, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and
(3)the certificates for all your tendered initial notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation as the case may be, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within 3 NYSE trading days after the expiration date.

Acceptance of Initial Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

Your tender of initial notes will constitute an agreement between you and us governed by the terms and conditions provided in this prospectus and in the related letter of transmittal.

We will be deemed to have received your tender as of the date when your duly signed letter of transmittal accompanied by your initial notes tendered, or a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of these notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC with an agent’s message, or a notice of guaranteed delivery from an eligible institution is received by the exchange agent.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of tenders will be determined by us in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding.

We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all initial notes not properly tendered or any initial notes which, if accepted, would, in our opinion or our counsel’s opinion, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any conditions of this exchange offer or irregularities or defects in tender as to particular notes with the exception of conditions to this exchange offer relating to the obligations of broker dealers, which we

142

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will not waive. If we waive a condition to this exchange offer, the waiver will be applied equally to all note holders. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of this exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of initial notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. We, the exchange agent or any other person will be under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of initial notes. We and the exchange agent or any other person will incur no liability for any failure to give notification of these defects or irregularities. Tenders of initial notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. The exchange agent will return without cost to their holders any initial notes that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived promptly following the expiration date.

If all the conditions to the exchange offer are satisfied or waived on the expiration date, we will accept all initial notes properly tendered and will issue the exchange notes promptly thereafter. Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” below. For purposes of this exchange offer, initial notes will be deemed to have been accepted as validly tendered for exchange when, as and if we give oral or written notice of acceptance to the exchange agent.

We will issue the exchange notes in exchange for the initial notes tendered pursuant to a notice of guaranteed delivery by an eligible institution only against delivery to the exchange agent of the letter of transmittal, the tendered initial notes and any other required documents, or the receipt by the exchange agent of a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of initial notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC with an agent’s message, in each case, in form satisfactory to us and the exchange agent.

If any tendered initial notes are not accepted for any reason provided by the terms and conditions of this exchange offer or if initial notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged initial notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder, or, in the case of initial notes tendered by book-entry transfer procedures described above, will be credited to an account maintained with the book-entry transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

By tendering into this exchange offer, you will irrevocably appoint our designees as your attorney-in-fact and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution to the full extent of your rights on the initial notes tendered. This proxy will be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered initial notes. This appointment will be effective only when, and to the extent that we accept your notes in this exchange offer. All prior proxies on these initial notes will then be revoked and you will not be entitled to give any subsequent proxy. Any proxy that you may give subsequently will not be deemed effective. Our designees will be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of the holders as they may deem proper at any meeting of note holders or otherwise. The initial notes will be validly tendered only if we are able to exercise full voting rights on the initial notes, including voting at any meeting of the note holders, and full rights to consent to any action taken by the note holders.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw tenders of initial notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

For a withdrawal to be effective, you must send a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date at the address provided below under “—Exchange Agent” and before acceptance of your tendered notes for exchange by us.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

(1)specify the name of the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn;

143

required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to permit the trustee for the initial notes to register the transfer of these notes into the name of the person having made the original tender and withdrawing the tender;

(4)specify the name in which any of these initial notes are to be registered, if this name is different from that of the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn; and
(5)if applicable because the initial notes have been tendered through the book-entry procedure, specify the name and number of the participant’s account at DTC to be credited, if different than that of the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of all notices of withdrawal and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Initial notes that are withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange in this exchange offer.

The exchange agent will return without cost to their holders all initial notes that have been tendered for exchange and are not exchanged for any reason, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or expiration or termination of this exchange offer.

You may retender properly withdrawn initial notes in this exchange offer by following one of the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” above at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

Fees and Expenses

We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders in this exchange offer, including reasonable fees and expenses of the exchange agent and trustee and accounting, legal, printing and related fees and expenses.

We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of this exchange offer. However, we will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the exchange agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this exchange offer. We will also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding copies of the prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the initial notes and for handling or forwarding tenders for exchange to their customers.

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of initial notes in accordance with this exchange offer. However, tendering holders will pay the amount of any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, if:

(1)certificates representing exchange notes or initial notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the notes tendered;

145

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2)tendered initial notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or
(3)a transfer tax is payable for any reason other than the exchange of the initial notes in this exchange offer.

If you do not submit satisfactory evidence of the payment of any of these taxes or of any exemption from this payment with the letter of transmittal, we will bill you directly the amount of these transfer taxes.

Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences

If you do not exchange your initial notes for the exchange notes in the exchange offer, your initial notes will continue to be subject to the provisions of the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the initial notes and the restrictions on transfer of the initial notes described in the legend on your certificates. These transfer restrictions are required because the initial notes were issued under an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Therefore, you may not resell your initial notes, offer such notes for resale or otherwise transfer such notes unless they are subsequently registered or resold under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. If you do not exchange your initial notes for exchange notes in accordance with this exchange offer, or if you do not properly tender your initial notes in this exchange offer, you will not be able to resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer the initial notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless you resell such notes, offer to resell or otherwise transfer such notes under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.

In addition, except as set forth in this paragraph, you will not be able to obligate us to register the initial notes under the Securities Act. You will not be able to require us to register your initial notes under the Securities Act unless:

we determine that the exchange offer is not available or cannot be completed promptly after the expiration date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC;
you notify us within 20 business days of the initial filing of the exchange offer registration statement that you are not eligible to participate in the exchange offer due to applicable law or SEC policy; or
you notify us within 20 business days of the exchange offer registration statement that you are a broker-dealer holding initial notes acquired directly from Products Corporation or one of its affiliates (including initial notes that are part of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the initial notes) as a result of market-making or other trading activities.

In the latter two cases, the Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file after completion of the exchange offer both an exchange offer registration statement and a shelf registration statement for a continuous offering in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the benefit of the holders of the initial notes described in this paragraph. We do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act the resale of any initial notes that remain outstanding after completion of this exchange offer.

Delivery of Prospectus

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes, where such initial notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale, resell or offer to transfer of such exchange notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

The definitions of certain capitalized terms used in the following summary are set forth below under “—Certain Definitions.” For purposes of this section, the term “Issuer” refers to Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation”), and not to its Subsidiaries or to Products Corporation’s parent company, Revlon, Inc. (“Parent”).

The Issuer will issue the exchange notes offered by this prospectus (together with the related guarantees, the “exchange notes”) under the indenture, dated as of August 4, 2016 , by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “trustee”) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “indenture”). This is the same indenture under which the 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (together with the related guarantees, the “initial notes”) were issued on August 4, 2016 in a private offering.

In this “Description of Notes,” we refer to the initial notes, the exchange notes and any Additional Notes (as defined herein) as “notes.”

The following summary of certain provisions of the indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the indenture. We urge you to read the indenture and the notes because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of these agreements are filed as exhibits to Parent’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 5, 2016.

The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”).

The terms of the exchange notes that we are issuing in this exchange offer and the initial notes that are outstanding are identical in all material respects, except:

the issuance of the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act; and
the exchange notes will not contain certain transfer restrictions and registration rights (including interest rate increases) that relate to the initial notes.

Brief description of the exchange notes

The exchange notes will:

be unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer;
be effectively subordinated to all existing Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer, including the obligations of the Issuer under the Senior Facilities and future Secured Indebtedness, if any, in each case, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness;
be pari passu in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer;
be senior in right of payment to any future Indebtedness of the Issuer that is specifically subordinated in right of payment to the notes;
be effectively subordinated to the Indebtedness and other liabilities of existing and future Subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not guarantee the notes; and
be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each Subsidiary Guarantor.

Principal, maturity and interest

On August 4, 2016 (the “Issue Date”), the Escrow Issuer issued $450.0 million of initial notes, which were assumed by the Issuer and guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors on September 7, 2016, the date of the closing of the Issuer’s acquisition of Elizabeth Arden (the “Acquisition”, and, respectively, the “Effective Date”). The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any greater integral multiple of $1,000.

The notes will mature on August 1, 2024. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 6.25% per annum and will be payable semiannually in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, with an initial interest payment on February 1, 2017. The Issuer will make each interest payment on the notes to the Persons who are registered holders of the notes at the close of business on the immediately preceding January 15 and July 15.

147

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest on the notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Initially, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the notes. The Issuer may change any paying agent or registrar without notice to the holders of the notes. The Issuer will pay principal and premium, if any, on the notes at the trustee’s corporate trust office in New York, New York. At the Issuer’s option, interest may be paid at the trustee’s corporate trust office in New York, New York or by check mailed to the registered address of holders of the notes.

Indentures may be used for future issuances

Subject to compliance with the covenant described under the subheading “—Covenants—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock,” the Issuer may, following the Effective Date, issue more notes under the indenture on the same terms and conditions as the notes being offered hereby, except for issue date and issue price, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount (the “Additional Notes”); provided, that unless the Additional Notes are fungible with the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will not be issued under the same CUSIP as the notes. The notes and the Additional Notes, if any, will be treated as a single class for all purposes of the indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of the indenture and this “Description of Notes,” references to the notes include any Additional Notes actually issued.

Redemption

Optional redemption

On and after August 1, 2019 (the “First Call Date”), the Issuer will be entitled, at its option on one or more occasions, to redeem all or any portion of the notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on August 1 of the years set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of the notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to the redemption date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date:

Optional redemption upon equity offering

Prior to the First Call Date, the Issuer may, at its option on one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) so long as such aggregate principal amount does not exceed the amount of net cash proceeds received by, or contributed to the capital of, the Issuer from one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of the notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to the redemption date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date; provided, however, that:

(1)at least 60% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and
(2)each such redemption occurs within 120 days after the date of the related Equity Offering(s).

Redemption at make-whole premium. At any time prior to the First Call Date, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the notes on one or more occasions at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of the notes on the relevant record dates occurring prior to the redemption date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

148

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mandatory redemption. The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Selection and notice

In the event that less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select the notes or portions thereof to be redeemed among the holders of the notes as follows:

(1)if the notes are listed, in compliance with any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or
(2)if the notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the trustee considers fair and appropriate, unless otherwise required by law or applicable depositary requirements.

The Issuer will redeem notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part. Notes in a principal amount in excess of $2,000 may be redeemed in part in multiples of $1,000 only. Notices of redemption will be delivered electronically in PDF format or sent, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically in PDF format or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or parts thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuer has deposited with the paying agent funds in satisfaction of the redemption price pursuant to the indenture.

In connection with any redemption of notes (including in any redemption described under “—Optional Redemption”), any such notice or redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any related Equity Offering or a Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

Ranking

Senior indebtedness versus notes

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and the payment of any guarantee will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, including the obligations of the Issuer and such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Facilities and the Existing Senior Notes.

Secured indebtedness versus notes

The notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, including the obligations of the Issuer and such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2016, after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors would have had approximately $1,835.0 million of Secured Indebtedness (consisting of $1,800.0 million of Secured Indebtedness under the New Term Facility and $35.0 million of Secured Indebtedness under the New Revolving Credit Facility), and the Issuer would have been able to incur a further $353.0 million of Secured Indebtedness under the Senior Facilities, giving effect to $12.0 million of outstanding letters of credit and assuming $400.0 million committed amount is available under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

149

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Although the indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Secured Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be substantial. See “—Covenants—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock” and “—Covenants—Limitation on Liens.”

Liabilities of Subsidiaries versus notes

Substantially all of the Issuer’s operations are conducted through its Subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Guarantors initially guaranteed the notes and the indenture, and the guarantees of such Subsidiary Guarantors may be released, as described below under “—Guarantees.” Claims of creditors of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, including trade creditors and creditors holding indebtedness or guarantees issued by such non-guarantor Subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries, generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of the non-guarantor Subsidiaries over the claims of the Issuer’s creditors, including holders of the notes. Accordingly, the notes will be structurally subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders, if any, of the non-guarantor Subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2016, after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries would have had approximately $14.7 million of outstanding Indebtedness and preferred stock.

Although the indenture limits the incurrence of Indebtedness and preferred stock of certain of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant qualifications. Moreover, the indenture does not impose any limitation on the incurrence by such Subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness under the indenture. See “—Covenants—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock.”

Guarantees

The Subsidiary Guarantors have jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the Issuer’s performance of its obligations under the notes and the indenture, including the payment of principal with respect to the notes. The Subsidiary Guarantors have guaranteed the Senior Facilities (on a senior secured basis) and the Existing Senior Notes (on a senior unsecured basis).

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor are limited as necessary to prevent such guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a guarantee is entitled to a pro rata contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor, based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer without limitation, or with other Persons upon the terms and conditions set forth in the indenture. See “—Covenants—Merger, consolidation and sale of assets.” In the event that the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of, by merger or otherwise, by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, or if as a result of such sale or disposition the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, and the sale or disposition is not in violation of the provisions set forth in “—Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales,” such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee will be released and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be relieved of all of its obligations and duties under the indenture and the notes. A Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee will also be released and such Subsidiary Guarantor will also be released from all obligations and duties under the indenture and the notes as described below under “—Covenants—Limitation on guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.”

Change of control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Effective Date, each holder will have the right to require that the Issuer repurchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of $1,000; provided that the Issuer will repurchase notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part) of such holder’s notes, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

Within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control shall have occurred, the Issuer will send, electronically or by first class mail, a notice to each holder, with a copy to the trustee, offering to purchase

150

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the notes as described above (the “Change of Control Offer”). The notice will state, among other things, the payment date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (other than as may be required by law).

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (a) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (b) a notice of redemption relating to the redemption of all of the notes has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption” and, in the event that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, such conditions have been satisfied or waived. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control or other events, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. The closing date of any such Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control may be changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control, provided that such closing date is not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer notice is transmitted as described in the paragraph above. Additionally, the Issuer may, at its option, include in any Change of Control Offer an early tender payment, early consent payment or consent payment, so long as any such payment is in addition to the purchase price set forth in the initial paragraph of this section.

If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.

The occurrence of a Change of Control may constitute a default under our Credit Agreements or any other Credit Facility we may enter into from time to time and may constitute a “Change of Control” under the Existing Senior Notes Indenture. Our future Indebtedness may contain prohibitions of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require such Indebtedness to be repurchased or repaid upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of their right to require the Issuer to purchase the notes could cause a default under such Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Issuer. Finally, the Issuer’s ability to pay cash to the holders upon a purchase may be limited by the Issuer’s then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make the required repurchases. The provisions under the indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the “Change of Control” provisions of the indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the “Change of Control” provisions of the indenture by virtue thereof.

151

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants that are contained in the indenture.

Suspension of covenants on achievement of investment grade status

Following the first day after the Effective Date that:

(a)the notes have achieved Investment Grade Status; and
(b)no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture,

then, beginning on that day and continuing until the Reversion Date (as defined below), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of the indenture summarized under the following headings (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

“—Limitation on Restricted Payments,”
“—Limitation on incurrence of additional indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock,”
“—Limitation on dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries,”
“—Limitation on transactions with Affiliates,”
“—Limitation on Asset Sales,”
“—Limitation on guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries,” and
the provisions of clause (2) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, consolidation and sale of assets.”

If at any time (a)(i) the notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status and/or (ii) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, that transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause that Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Status for such notes or downgrade the ratings assigned to such notes below an Investment Grade Status or (b) a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated under the indenture as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of such indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of such indenture), unless and until the notes subsequently attain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the notes maintain an Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under such indenture, such notes or the guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

On the applicable Reversion Date (i) all Indebtedness incurred or Preferred Stock issued during such Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (ii) after any Reversion Date calculations of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” will be calculated as though the covenant described under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period, (iii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the applicable Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during such Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (vi) of the second paragraph under the caption of “—Limitation on transactions with Affiliates,” and (iv) for purposes of the covenant described under “—Limitation on dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries,” all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to clause (5)(A) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.” No Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period, unless such designation would have complied with the covenant described under

152

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“—Limitation on Restricted Payments” as if such covenant were in effect during such period. In addition, during the Suspension Period, the obligation to grant further guarantees will be suspended. Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant guarantees will be reinstated.

The Issuer shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the trustee indicating the commencement of any Suspension Period or the Reversion Date. The trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the holders of the commencement of the Suspension Period or the Reversion Date.

There can be no assurance that the notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Status.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

The Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,

(a)declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution (other than dividends or distributions payable in Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuer or in warrants, rights or options (other than debt securities or Disqualified Capital Stock) to acquire Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuer) on or in respect of shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock to holders of such Capital Stock,
(b)purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Issuer or any warrants, rights or options (other than debt securities or Disqualified Capital Stock) to purchase or acquire shares of any class of such Capital Stock, other than the exchange of such Capital Stock, warrants, rights or options for Qualified Capital Stock and/or for warrants, rights or options (other than debt securities or Disqualified Capital Stock) to acquire Qualified Capital Stock,
(c)make any principal payment on, or purchase, repurchase, defease, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value of, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor except (i) the payment of principal at the Stated Maturity thereof, (ii) the purchase, repurchase, defeasance, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of any such Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or payment at Stated Maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase, defeasance, redemption or other acquisition or retirement and (iii) any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (6) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” or
(d)make any Restricted Investment (other than Permitted Investments)

(each of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) being referred to as a “Restricted Payment”), if at the time of such Restricted Payment, or immediately after giving effect thereto,

(1)a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(2)the Issuer is not able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (1) in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more categories (or subparts thereof) of Permitted Payments or Permitted Investments, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer will be entitled to classify or re-classify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification in any manner that complies with this covenant, and such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) will be treated as having been made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or such clause or clauses (or subparts thereof) in the definition of Permitted Payments or Permitted Investments, and (2) any amounts netted as a return of or on capital against the outstanding amount of any Investment made as a Permitted Payment or as a Permitted Investment shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Net Income for purposes of determining the amount of Restricted Payments that may be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not reclassify any Restricted Payment as being made under clause (17) above if originally made pursuant to one or more of clauses (1) through (17) above or pursuant to clause (3) of the first paragraph of this covenant.

Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock other than Permitted Indebtedness; provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness and any of the Restricted Subsidiaries may issue Preferred Stock if, on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness or issuance of such Preferred Stock, after giving effect to the incurrence or issuance thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer is equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0; provided, further, that Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors may not incur Indebtedness or issue Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing proviso if, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance and application of proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of outstanding Indebtedness and Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors incurred pursuant to this paragraph exceeds the greater of (x) $325.0 million and (y) 10.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets.

For purposes of determining compliance with this “—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock” covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” or is entitled to be incurred or issued, as the case may be, pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock on the date of its incurrence or issuance, as the case may be, in any manner that complies with this covenant, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time) all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or portion thereof, as applicable) will be treated as having been incurred or issued, as the case may be, pursuant to only such clause or clauses or the first paragraph of this covenant. Additionally, Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such Indebtedness. Indebtedness under the Senior Facilities outstanding on the Effective Date will initially be deemed to have been incurred on the Effective Date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (2) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and may not later be reclassified prior to the time it is repaid.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant.

Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency

158

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if the Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing. Provisions similar to those in this paragraph shall apply in determining compliance with “—Covenants—Limitation on Liens.”

For the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness incurred to refinance, refund or replace Indebtedness incurred pursuant to any provision in the definition of Permitted Indebtedness that is limited by a percentage of Total Assets or by a multiple of Pro Forma EBITDA may be incurred pursuant to such provision, even if such refinancing, refunding or replacing Indebtedness could not be itself incurred pursuant to such provision at such time.

The indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prohibit the incurrence of Secured Indebtedness with payment priority provisions.

The indenture does not, for all purposes, treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior in right of payment to Secured Indebtedness because it is unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Senior Indebtedness because it is secured by Liens ranking junior in priority with respect to the same collateral.

Limitation on transactions with Affiliates

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, conduct any business or enter into any transaction or series of similar transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, unless:

(1)the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable when taken as a whole to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than terms that would be obtainable at the time for a comparable transaction or series of similar transactions in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third Person, and
(2)to the extent that such Affiliate Transaction (other than Indebtedness Incurred as permitted by “—Covenants—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock”) is known by the Board of Directors of the Parent or the Issuer to involve an Affiliate of the Issuer, other than any purchase or sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, involving aggregate payments or other consideration in excess of $50.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction has been approved (and the value of any noncash consideration has been determined) by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and the Issuer delivers to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such approval (provided that if no member of the Board of Directors of the Parent or the Issuer is disinterested, the Issuer may deliver to the trustee a letter from a nationally recognized investment banking firm stating that the financial terms of such transaction are fair to the Issuer from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of clause (1) above).

Limitation on Liens

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by them, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom; provided, however, that in addition to creating Permitted Liens on their properties or assets, the Issuer and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may (i) in the case of Liens securing such Subordinated Indebtedness, create any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness upon any of their properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) if the notes are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens; or (ii) in all other cases, create any Lien securing Indebtedness upon any of their properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) if the notes are equally and ratably secured.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (A) Liens securing Indebtedness and obligations need not be incurred solely by reference to the proviso in the first paragraph of this covenant (the “Equal and Ratable Provision”) or to one category of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof) but are permitted to be incurred in part under any combination thereof, and (B) in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of the Equal and Ratable Provision or one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify, divide or later reclassify or redivide (as if incurred at such later time) such Liens (or any portions thereof) in any manner that complies with the Equal and Ratable Provision or the definition of Permitted Liens, and such Liens (or portions thereof, as applicable) will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision or such clause, clauses or subparts of the definition of Permitted Liens (and in the case of a subsequent division, classification or reclassification, such Liens shall cease to be divided or classified as it was prior to such subsequent division, classification or reclassification). Liens securing Obligations under the Credit Facilities on the Effective Date shall be deemed incurred pursuant to clause (2)(i) of the definition of Permitted Liens and shall not be reclassified prior to the repayment of the Obligations secured thereby.

To the extent that any Liens are imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, (i) Permitted Liens may be of any priority (including senior in priority) relative to any Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, except where otherwise specified, and (ii) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Liens ranking junior in priority to the liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision (“Junior

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Liens”). The trustee shall enter into customary intercreditor arrangements with respect to such Permitted Liens, Junior Liens and Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, if any.

With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” with respect to any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common equity of the Issuer, the Parent or any other Parent Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in the definition of “Indebtedness.”

For the avoidance of doubt, any Lien securing Indebtedness incurred to refinance, refund or replace Indebtedness secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to any provision in the definition of Permitted Liens that is limited by a percentage of Total Assets or by reference to the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio may be incurred pursuant to such provision, even if the Lien securing such refinancing, refunding or replacing Indebtedness could not be itself incurred pursuant to such provision at such time.

Limitation on dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a)pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;
(b)make loans or advances to or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; or
(c)transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(1)applicable law and agreements with governmental authorities,
(2)the notes, the indenture or any guarantee thereof,
(3)(A) customary provisions restricting (1) the subletting or assignment of or under any lease or (2) the transfer of copyrighted or patented materials, (B) provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment or other transfer of such agreements (or property that is the subject thereof) or rights thereunder or (C) provisions of a customary nature contained in the terms of Capital Stock restricting the payment of dividends and the making of distributions on Capital Stock,
(4)any agreement or instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than (a) the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired (including the Capital Stock of such Person), or (b) any Restricted Subsidiary having no assets other than (i) the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired (including the Capital Stock of such Person) and (ii) other assets having a fair market value not in excess of $5.0 million, and, in each case, the monetary proceeds thereof,
(5)any agreement or instrument (A) in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, (B) governing Secured Indebtedness, including the Senior Facilities, permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock,” or (C) governing Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor,
(6)any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (9) or (13) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness,
(7)restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under the indenture,

(10)restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business,
(11)customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements, applicable to joint ventures not prohibited hereunder,

(14)the subordination of any Indebtedness owed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
(15)an agreement effecting a refinancing, replacement or substitution of Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (2), (4) or (5) above or any other agreement evidencing Indebtedness permitted under the indenture; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such refinancing, replacement or substitution agreement or any such other agreement (a) are not less favorable to the Issuer in any material respect as determined by the Issuer in good faith than the provisions of the Indebtedness being refinanced or (b) would not singly or in the aggregate have a materially adverse effect as determined by the Issuer in good faith on the ability of the Issuer to make payments on the notes,
(16)restrictions created in connection with any Receivables Facility; provided that in the case of Receivables Facilities established after the Issue Date, such restrictions are necessary or advisable, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, to effect such Receivables Facility,

(18)restrictions or conditions contained in any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply, purchase or other agreement to which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that such agreement prohibits the encumbrance of solely the property or assets of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder or the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of any other Restricted Subsidiary.

Merger, consolidation and sale of assets

The Issuer will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:

(1)either (A) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be the surviving or continuing Person or (B) the Person, if other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged, or the Person that acquires by sale, assignment,

163

TABLE OF CONTENTS

transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets determined on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Surviving Entity”), (x) shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (y) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of the notes and the performance of every covenant of the notes and the indenture and any applicable registration rights agreement to be performed or observed on the part of the Issuer;

(2)immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(y) above, including giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction, either (A) the Issuer or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness, pursuant to the “—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock” covenant or (B) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, immediately following such transaction would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction;
(3)immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(y) above, including, without limitation, giving effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(4)the Issuer or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (on which the Trustee may conclusively and exclusively rely), each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, shall comply with the applicable provisions of the indenture and that all conditions precedent in the indenture relating to the execution of such supplemental indenture have been satisfied.

For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer, by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, other than to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

The indenture provides that upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the foregoing in which the Issuer is not the continuing Person, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the indenture and the notes with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such and the Issuer shall be relieved of all of its obligations and duties under the indenture and the notes.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor, other than any Subsidiary Guarantor whose guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of the guarantee and the indenture, will not, and the Issuer will not cause or permit any such Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person other than the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

(1)the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor, or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
(2)such entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee; and

164

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(3)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Any merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer being the Surviving Entity, or into another Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, need not comply with this covenant.

Limitation on Asset Sales

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)the Issuer or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;
(2)at least 75% of the consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiaries, exclusive of indemnities, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale is cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition; provided that the amount of (a) any liabilities of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet (or in the notes thereto), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within one year of the time of such disposition, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received, and (c) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $125.0 million and 4.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, will be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this clause (2); and
(3)upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Issuer applies directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, or causes one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries to apply, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 450 days after receipt thereof, at the option of the Issuer, either (A) to repay any Secured Indebtedness the incurrence of which was permitted by the indenture (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness other than that governed by a “borrowing base” calculation, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, (B) to repay any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (C) to repay or repurchase Pari passu Indebtedness (provided that the Issuer shall (i) redeem or repurchase at least a pro rata portion of the notes (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or repayments or repurchases of Pari passu Indebtedness), by, at the Issuer’s option, (a) redeeming notes as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption” or (b) through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are a price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon) or (ii) offer to redeem or repurchase at least a pro rata portion of the notes (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or repayments or repurchases of Pari passu Indebtedness) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Net Proceeds Offer) to all holders to purchase the notes at a price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of notes that would otherwise be prepaid), (D) to make capital expenditures or to reinvest in Productive Assets (or enter into a binding commitment to reinvest, if such reinvestment is effected within 180 days after the date of such commitment), or (E) a combination of prepayment, reduction and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (3)(A) through (3)(D);

provided that (i) the 75% limitation referred to above will not apply to any sale, transfer or other disposition of assets in which the cash portion of the consideration received therefor is equal to or greater than what the after-tax net proceeds would have been had such transaction complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation, and (ii) with respect to any Asset Sale, the determination of compliance with clauses (1) and (2) above may be made, at the Issuer’s option, on either (x) the date on which such Asset Sale is completed or (y) the date on

165

TABLE OF CONTENTS

which a definitive agreement for such Asset Sale is entered into. On the 451st day after an Asset Sale (or the 181st day after the entry into a binding commitment to reinvest) or such earlier date, if any, as the Issuer may select, in its sole discretion (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clause (3) of the preceding sentence (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) the Issuer will make an offer to repurchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date (or such longer period as may be required by law), from all holders, that amount of notes equal to the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clause (3) of the preceding sentence multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of notes then outstanding and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of notes and Pari passu Indebtedness then outstanding (the “Pro Rata Amount”), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $50.0 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Net Proceeds Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates at least $50.0 million, at which time the Issuer will apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer, the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is at least $50.0 million being deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date. To the extent that the aggregate purchase price of notes tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Pro Rata Amount, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor may use such amount for any purpose not prohibited by the indenture. Upon completion of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.

The Credit Agreements restrict the ability of the Issuer to repurchase the notes, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, if required to make a Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer may need the consent of the lenders under the Credit Agreements. The failure of the Issuer to make a required Net Proceeds Offer and repurchase notes subject thereto would be an Event of Default.

Notwithstanding the first two paragraphs of this covenant, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such paragraphs to the extent:

(1)at least 50% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets; and
(2)such Asset Sale is for fair market value; provided that the fair market value of any consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph will constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions of the first two paragraphs of this covenant.

In the event of the transfer of substantially all, but not all, of the property and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under the “—Merger, consolidation and sale of assets” covenant, the successor corporation will be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this covenant, and will comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold will be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this covenant.

Notice of a Net Proceeds Offer will be provided to the holders as shown on the register of holders not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the payment date for the Net Proceeds Offer, with a copy to the trustee, and will comply with the procedures set forth in the indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, holders may elect to tender their notes in whole or in part (in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount; provided that the Issuer will repurchase notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part) at maturity in exchange for cash. To the extent holders properly tender notes in an amount exceeding the Net

166

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proceeds Offer Amount, the trustee will select the notes or portions thereof to be repurchased among the holders of the notes as follows:

(1)if the notes are listed, in compliance with any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or
(2)if the notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the trustee considers fair and appropriate.

A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law.

If an offer is made to repurchase the notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer.

Limitation on guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries

From and after the Effective Date, the Issuer will not permit any Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Immaterial Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, by way of the pledge of any intercompany note or otherwise, to assume, guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Issuer, other than:

(1)Indebtedness incurred in reliance on and in compliance with the first paragraph under the heading “—Limitation on incurrence of additional Indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock,”
(2)Indebtedness incurred in reliance on clause (12) (to the extent the Indebtedness being refinanced, modified, replaced, renewed, restated, refunded, deferred, extended, substituted, supplemented, reissued or resold was permitted to be guaranteed by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness,
(3)Hedge Agreements in reliance on clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness, or
(4)additional Indebtedness incurred in reliance on clause (13) or (14) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness,
(a)unless, in any such case, such Restricted Subsidiary has executed and delivered or, within 10 Business Days thereof, executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the indenture, providing a guarantee of payment of the notes by such Restricted Subsidiary in the form required by the indenture and
(b)if such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, the guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such subordinate Indebtedness is similarly subordinated in right of payment to the guarantee of the notes.

Any guarantee of the notes by a Restricted Subsidiary will provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the trustee or any holder, upon:

(1)(a) such Subsidiary Guarantor being released from any and all guarantees of Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than guarantees permitted to be provided by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding paragraph), and (b) if such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain a Subsidiary of the Issuer, it has no other outstanding Indebtedness other than Indebtedness that could be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor of the notes on the date of the proposed release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee;
(2)the unconditional release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its liability in respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such guarantee of the notes was executed and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph;
(3)any designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

167

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(4)any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) (i) to any Person that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary), of all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) of any portion of the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, however, that
(a)such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise permitted by the terms of the indenture; and
(b)such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary has been released by the holders of the other Indebtedness so guaranteed;

provided that any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Subsidiary Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary, within 10 Business Days of which it shall provide a guarantee as contemplated by subparagraph (5)(a) above; and provided, further, that if, at the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available, all Immaterial Subsidiaries, in the aggregate, have total assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets and Total Revenues as of the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Revenues, one or more of such Subsidiaries shall, within 10 Business Days of such internal financial statements becoming available, provide a guarantee so that in the aggregate the total assets of all Immaterial Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors as of the end of such fiscal year are not in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Assets and their Total Revenues as of the end of the most recent fiscal year for which internal financial statements are then available are not in excess of 5.0% of the Issuer’s Total Revenues.

Events of Default

The following events are defined in the indenture as “Events of Default”:

(1)the failure to pay interest on any notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;
(2)the failure to pay the principal on any notes, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, including the failure to make a payment to repurchase notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer;
(3)a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in such indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Issuer receives written notice specifying the default, and demanding that such default be remedied, from the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes;
(4)the failure to pay at final maturity, giving effect to any extensions thereof, the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary, other than intercompany Indebtedness, and such failure continues for a period of 20 days or more, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration, if, in either case, the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, in each case with respect to which the 20-day period described above has passed, aggregates $50.0 million or more at any time;
(5)any final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money in excess (net of amounts covered by third-party insurance with insurance carriers who in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer are creditworthy and who have not disclaimed liability with respect to such judgment or judgments) of $50.0 million is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary and is not discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement is not in effect;
(6)certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary; or

168

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(7)any of the guarantees ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by the indenture) or any of the guarantees is held in a judicial proceeding to be null and void and unenforceable or any of the guarantees is found to be invalid by a final judgment or order that is not appealable or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors denies its liability under its guarantee, other than by reason of a release of a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

During the continuance of any Event of Default specified in the indenture (other than an Event of Default with respect to bankruptcy proceedings of the Issuer), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding notes may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default with respect to bankruptcy proceedings of the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then such amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of notes.

The indenture provides that, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1)if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;
(2)if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;
(3)to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(4)if the Issuer has paid the trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and
(5)in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (6) of the description above of Events of Default, the trustee has received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under the indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any such notes.

The trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than a payment default) unless a responsible officer of the trustee has received written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default at the Corporate Trust Office of the trustee and such notice references the notes and the indenture.

The indenture will cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding notes, except as to (1) rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange of notes, (2) rights of holders to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and any other rights of the holders with respect to such amounts, (3) the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee under the indenture and (4) certain other specified provisions in the indenture (the foregoing exceptions (1) through (4) are collectively referred to as the “Reserved Rights”), if:

(a)the Issuer irrevocably deposits, or causes to be deposited, with the trustee, in trust for the benefit of the holders pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security agreement (1) U.S. Legal Tender, (2) U.S. Government Obligations or (3) a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the trustee, which through the payment of interest and principal will provide, not later than one day before the due date of payment in respect of the notes, U.S. Legal Tender in an amount which is sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes then outstanding on the dates on which any such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the indenture and the notes (with the sufficiency of such amount to be based on the advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the trustee expressed

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in a written certification thereof delivered to the trustee if such deposit includes any U.S. Government Obligations); provided, however, that (x) the trustee of the irrevocable trust shall have been irrevocably instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the trustee; and (y) the trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the notes;

(b)the Issuer delivers to the trustee an Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the trustee or a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred and such Opinion of Counsel in the United States must be based on a public or private ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law or regulation; and
(c)the Issuer delivers to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture have been complied with.

In addition, the Issuer may terminate all of its obligations under the indenture, except as to certain of the Reserved Rights, when (1) all outstanding notes theretofore authenticated have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation and the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable under the indenture by the Issuer or (2) the Issuer has called for redemption (or has irrevocably instructed the trustee to do so on its behalf) pursuant to the indenture all of the notes, the amounts described in clause (a) above have been deposited as described therein, the conditions in clauses (x) and (y) of the proviso to such clause (a) have been satisfied and the certificate and opinion described in clause (c) above have been delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinions of Counsel required by clauses (b) and (c) above need not be delivered if all notes not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year or (3) are to be called for redemption within one year. In addition, the Issuer may at its option and at any time elect to terminate its obligations with respect to certain covenants that are set forth in the indenture, some of which are described under “—Covenants” above if the Issuer delivers to the trustee an Opinion of Counsel from counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee to the effect that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such termination and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such termination had not occurred.

Modification of the indenture

From time to time, the Issuer and the trustee, without the consent of the holders of the notes, may amend the indenture or the notes for the following reasons:

(1)to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(2)to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer under the indenture and the notes;
(3)to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth in the indenture or to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;
(4)to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the TIA;
(5)to make any change that would provide any additional benefit or rights to the holders or that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect;
(6)to add a Subsidiary Guarantor or an additional obligor under the indenture, or to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the indenture and its guarantee in accordance with the terms of the indenture;
(7)to conform the text of the indenture, the notes or the guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the final Offering Memorandum relating to the initial notes, dated July 21, 2016, to

170

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the extent that such provision in such “Description of Notes” was intended to be verbatim recitation of a provision in the indenture or the notes, as certified to the trustee in an Officers’ Certificate; or

(8)to secure the notes and the guarantees;

provided that the Issuer has delivered to the trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of the indenture.

Other modifications and amendments of the indenture or the notes may be made with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes issued under the indenture, except that, without the consent of each holder of the notes affected thereby, no amendment may:

(1)reduce the amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment;
(2)reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any notes;
(3)reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any notes, or change the date on which any notes may be subject to redemption (other than a change to the required notice period), or reduce the redemption price therefor;
(4)make any notes payable in money other than that stated in the notes;
(5)make any change in provisions of the indenture protecting the right of each holder of a note to receive payment of principal of and interest on such note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default (other than Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on the notes); or
(6)adversely affect the ranking of the notes or the guarantees as to contractual right of payment.

Reports

Whether or not required by SEC rules and regulations, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:

(1)all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed or furnished with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file or furnish such reports; and
(2)all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Issuer’s consolidated financial statements by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants. In addition, following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer will file or furnish, as applicable, a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations (including Rules 12b-25 and 12h-5 under the Exchange Act) applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing).

If, at any time after consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Issuer will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing (in which case the Issuer shall post such reports on a publicly available portion of its or Parent’s website). The Issuer will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.

In addition, the Issuer shall, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, furnish to the holders of notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

If at any time the notes are guaranteed by a direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, and such parent has complied with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, and has filed with the SEC the reports described herein with respect to such parent, as applicable (including any financial

171

TABLE OF CONTENTS

information required by Regulation S-X under the Securities Act), the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this covenant. Any information filed with, or furnished to, the SEC shall be deemed to have been made available to the trustee in accordance with this covenant. The subsequent filing or making available of any report required by this covenant shall be deemed automatically to cure any Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to file or make available such report within the required time frame.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement by filing with the SEC the registration statement for such Registered Exchange Offer or the shelf registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act.

Any subsequent restatement of financial statements shall have no retroactive effect for purposes of calculations previously made pursuant to the covenants contained in the indenture.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

The notes initially will be represented by one or more global notes in registered form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See “— Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.” Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.

In addition, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants, which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

The following description of DTC’s operations and procedures is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants. DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

(1)upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

172

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2)ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC’s system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations which are Participants in such system. All interests in a Global Note may be subject to DTC’s procedures and requirements. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “Holders” thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered Holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, the Issuer and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuer, the trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

(1)any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or
(2)any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuer and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth under “Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences,” transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds.

DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes

173

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued or changed at any time. Neither the Issuer nor the trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

(1)DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed;
(2)the Issuer, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or
(3)there has occurred and is continuing a Default with respect to the notes.

In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the applicable restrictive legend referred to in “Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences,” unless that legend is not required by applicable law.

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such notes. See “Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences.”

Same Day Settlement

The Issuer will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder of the Global Note. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such Holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Issuer expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Governing law

The indenture provides that it, the notes and the guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

The trustee

The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of any Event of Default, the

174

TABLE OF CONTENTS

trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it by the indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

The indenture and the provisions of the TIA contain certain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of the Issuer, to obtain payments of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. Subject to the TIA, the trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, that if the trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

No Personal liability of directors, officers, employees and stockholders

No director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor has any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the notes, the guarantees or the indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations of their creation. Each holder by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration of the issuance of the notes.

(b)if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period; and
(c)notwithstanding clause (a) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap Obligations in effect on the Transaction Date, will be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders and non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below and collectively referred to as “Holders”) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), regulations of the Treasury promulgated or proposed thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as of the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change (perhaps with retroactive effect).

This summary addresses only Holders who hold their notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to Holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax law, such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, individual retirement and other tax deferred accounts, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities (or investors therein), tax-exempt entities, U.S. expatriates, U.S. Holders who hold notes through a non-U.S. broker or other intermediary, persons holding notes in a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction or as a position in a constructive sale or straddle, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or U.S. Holders whose “functional currency” is other than the U.S. dollar. This summary does not address any U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, U.S. federal estate, gift or other non-income tax, or state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes. We have not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below. As a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court considering these issues will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions we have reached and describe herein.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
a corporation that is organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
a trust (i) that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and under the control of one or more U.S. persons, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of notes that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes an individual, corporation, trust or estate and that is not a U.S. Holder.

If a partnership, or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership that holds notes are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to them.

This summary does not constitute, and should not be considered as, legal or tax advice to holders of the notes. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax considerations discussed below to their particular situations as well as the application of any state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws.

Possible Alternative Treatment

We may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated interest or principal on the notes, including as described under “Description of Notes—Redemption” and “Description of Notes—Change of Control.” These potential payments may implicate the provisions of Treasury Regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” According to the applicable Treasury Regulations, certain contingencies will not cause a debt instrument to be treated as a contingent payment debt instrument if such contingencies, as of the date of issuance, are remote or incidental. We intend to take the position that the foregoing contingencies are remote or incidental, and, accordingly, we do not intend to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Our

204

TABLE OF CONTENTS

position that such contingencies are remote or incidental is binding on a Holder, unless such Holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. Our position is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully challenge this position, a Holder might be required to accrue interest income on the notes at a rate in excess of the stated interest rate and to treat any gain realized on the taxable disposition of a note as ordinary income rather than as capital gain. The Treasury Regulations applicable to contingent payment debt instruments have not been the subject of authoritative interpretation, however, and the scope of the regulations is not certain. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

Notes Exchange Offer

The exchange of the initial notes for the exchange notes should not constitute a taxable exchange. As a result: (1) a Holder should not recognize a taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging such Holder’s notes, and a Holder will be required to continue to include interest on the exchange note in gross income in the manner and to the extent described herein; (2) the holding period of the exchange notes should include the holding period of the initial notes exchanged therefor; and (3) the adjusted tax basis of the exchange notes should be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the initial notes exchanged therefor immediately before such exchange.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

Stated Interest

Generally, stated interest payments on a note to a U.S. Holder will be taxable as ordinary interest income at the time the payments are accrued or received, in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s regular method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Market Discount

If a U.S. Holder purchased an initial note (that may be exchanged for an exchange note pursuant to this exchange offer) for an amount that is less than its “revised issue price,” the amount of the difference should be treated as market discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any market discount applicable to an initial note should carry over to the exchange note received in exchange therefor. The amount of any market discount will be treated as de minimis and disregarded if it is less than one-quarter of one percent of the revised issue price of the initial note, multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity. For this purpose, the “revised issue price” of an initial note equals the issue price of the initial note. Although the Code does not expressly so provide, the revised issue price of the initial note is decreased by the amount of any payments previously made on the initial note (other than payments of “qualified stated interest”). The rules described below do not apply to a U.S. Holder if such holder purchased an initial note that has de minimis market discount.

Under the market discount rules, a U.S. Holder is required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of, an exchange note as ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount (on the initial note or the exchange note) that has not previously been included in income. If a U.S. Holder disposes of an exchange note in an otherwise nontaxable transaction (other than certain specified nonrecognition transactions), such holder will be required to include any accrued market discount as ordinary income as if such holder had sold the exchange note at its then fair market value. In addition, such holder may be required to defer, until the maturity of the exchange note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the initial note or the exchange note received in exchange therefor.

Bond Premium

If a U.S. Holder purchased an initial note (which will be exchanged for an exchange note pursuant to the exchange offer) for an amount in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the initial note (other than “qualified stated interest”), the excess will be treated as bond premium. Any bond premium applicable to an initial note should carry over to the exchange note received in exchange therefor. A U.S. Holder may elect to reduce the amount required to be included in income each year with respect to interest on its note by the amount of amortizable bond premium allocable to that year, based on the exchange note’s yield to maturity. However, because the exchange notes may be redeemed by us prior to maturity at a premium, special rules apply that may

205

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reduce or eliminate the amount of premium that a U.S. Holder may amortize with respect to an exchange note. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about these special rules. If a U.S. Holder makes the election to amortize bond premium, it will apply to all debt instruments (other than debt instruments the interest on which is excludible from gross income) that the U.S. Holder holds at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies or thereafter acquires, and the election may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.

Dispositions

Generally, a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note will result in taxable gain or loss to a U.S. Holder equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the disposition (excluding amounts attributable to any accrued and unpaid stated interest, which will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent not previously so taxed) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. The amount realized will equal the sum of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received on the disposition (excluding amounts attributable to any accrued and unpaid stated interest). A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note will generally equal the cost of such note to such U.S. Holder. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the note is held for more than one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Additional Tax on Passive Income

U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts, and whose income exceeds certain thresholds, are required to pay an additional 3.8% tax on, among other items, interest income and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of a note, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the relevant U.S. federal income tax legislation on their ownership and disposition a note.

Certain U.S. Federal Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders

Interest

Subject to the discussions below of backup withholding and FATCA (as defined below), U.S. federal income or withholding tax generally will not apply to a non-U.S. Holder in respect of any payment of interest on the notes, provided that such payment is not effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and:

such non-U.S. Holder does not own actually or constructively 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations;
such non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to Products Corporation under the applicable provisions of the Code;
such non-U.S. Holder is not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and
either (1) such non-U.S. Holder provides identifying information (i.e., name and address) to the applicable withholding agent on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), and certifies, under penalty of perjury, that such non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person or (2) a financial institution holding the notes on behalf of such non-U.S. Holder certifies, under penalty of perjury, that it has received such a certification from the beneficial owner and, when required, provides the withholding agent with a copy.

If a non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to such non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless such Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed (1) applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under an applicable income tax treaty or (2) IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) stating that interest paid on the note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with such Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (in which case such interest will be subject to tax as discussed below).

206

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of interest and must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. Holders that do not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Dispositions

Subject to the discussions below of backup withholding and of FATCA, any gain realized on the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note by a non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax (except to the extent attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as described above) unless (1) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by such non-U.S. Holder (in which case such gain will be subject to regular graduated U.S. tax rates as if such non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder) or (2) such non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case such gain, net of certain U.S.-source losses, if any, will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a flat rate of 30% (or at a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty)).

Effectively Connected Interest or Gain

If a non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the notes or gain from the disposition of the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, such non-U.S. Holder will, subject to any applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise, be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such interest or gain on a net income basis in generally the same manner as if such non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder. In addition, if such non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Holders

A U.S. Holder will be subject to information reporting with respect to payments of stated interest and payments of the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of a note, unless such U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding on such payments if such U.S. Holder is not otherwise exempt and such U.S. Holder:

fails to furnish to the applicable withholding agent its correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number;
is notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding because it has previously failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends;
fails to certify to the applicable withholding agent, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified the U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding; or
otherwise fails to comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding, the availability of an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available.

Non-U.S. Holders

In general, a non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest to such non-U.S. Holder if such non-U.S. Holder properly certifies to the applicable withholding agent that it is not a U.S. person, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person. A non-U.S. Holder will, however, be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to payments of interest on the notes.

207

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proceeds from the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of the notes made to or through a foreign office of a foreign broker without certain specified connections to the United States will generally not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. A non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding and/or information reporting with respect to the proceeds of the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the non-U.S. Holder properly certifies to the applicable withholding agent that it is not a U.S. person and the withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, or such non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

General—U.S. Holders and non-U.S. Holders

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and may entitle a Holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (“FATCA”) impose a 30% withholding tax on certain types of payments made to a foreign financial institution, unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to, among other things, undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these and other reporting requirements, or unless the foreign financial institution is otherwise exempt from those requirements. Certain countries have entered into, and other countries are expected to enter into, agreements with the United States to facilitate the type of information reporting required under FATCA. Such intergovernmental agreements may provide different rules with respect to foreign financial institutions. In addition, FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on the same types of payments to a non-financial foreign entity unless the entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners, the entity furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner or an exemption applies. A foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity’s failure to comply with the additional certification, information reporting and other specified requirements imposed under FATCA could result in the 30% withholding tax being imposed on payments of interest and principal under the notes and sales proceeds of the notes held by or through the foreign entity. In general, withholding under FATCA currently applies to payments of U.S. source interest and will apply to gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or retirement of debt obligations that give rise to U.S. source interest made after December 31, 2018. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding FATCA and its effect on them.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the corollary provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, impose certain requirements on “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that are subject to Title I of ERISA and plans, arrangements, and accounts that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, respectively, including entities such as collective investment funds and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”), and on those persons who are fiduciaries with respect to ERISA Plans. The U.S. Department of Labor has promulgated regulations 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, which were effectively modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, describing what constitutes the assets of an ERISA Plan with respect to the ERISA Plan’s investment in an entity for purposes of certain provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, including the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan. Investments by ERISA Plans are subject to ERISA’s general fiduciary requirements, including the requirements of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that an ERISA Plan’s investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the ERISA Plan and applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The prudence of a particular investment must be determined by the responsible fiduciary of an ERISA Plan by taking into account the ERISA Plan’s particular circumstances and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment including, but not limited to, the matters discussed above under “Risk Factors” and the fact that in the future there may be no market in which such fiduciary will be able to sell or otherwise dispose of the exchange notes. Similar requirements may apply to investments by plans, arrangements, or accounts, such as governmental plans, certain church plans, and non-U.S. plans, and entities such as collective investment funds and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans, arrangements or accounts (collectively, “Other Plan Investors”), that are subject to laws, regulations or policies that are similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Laws”).

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and certain persons (referred to as “parties in interest” or “disqualified persons”) having certain relationships to such ERISA Plans, unless a statutory or administrative exemption is applicable to the transaction. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. In addition, a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan who engaged in such non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code.

Prohibited transactions within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code may arise if the exchange notes are acquired with the assets of an ERISA Plan with respect to which Products Corporation, the trustee, the lenders under Products Corporation’s existing credit facility, or any of their respective affiliates is a party in interest or a disqualified person. Certain exemptions from the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code may be applicable, however, depending in part on the type of ERISA Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire an exchange note and the circumstances under which such decision is made. However, there can be no assurance that any administrative or statutory exemption will be available with respect to any particular transaction involving the exchange notes.

Other Plan Investors, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to Similar Laws. Fiduciaries of any such plans should consult with their counsel before acquiring the exchange notes.

Representations and Further Considerations

By its acquisition of exchange notes, each purchaser and subsequent transferee thereof will be deemed to have represented and warranted, on each day from the date on which such purchaser or transferee, as applicable, acquires its interest in such exchange notes through and including the date on which such purchaser or transferee, as applicable, disposes of its interest in such exchange notes, either that (a) it is not an ERISA Plan and is not using the assets of an ERISA Plan or any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, by reason of an ERISA Plan’s investment in the entity, nor is it an Other Plan Investor subject to any Similar Law or using the assets of an Other Plan Investor or any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of an Other Plan

209

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investor’s investment in the entity, or (b) neither its sale, transfer, acquisition, or holding of an exchange note will constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Law. Any purported transfer of such exchange note, or any interest therein, to a purchaser or transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in the applicable documents shall, to the extent permitted by law, be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that any fiduciary of an ERISA Plan or Other Plan Investor or other person who proposes to use assets of any ERISA Plan or Other Plan Investor to acquire the exchange notes should consult with its counsel regarding the applicability of the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, and any applicable Similar Laws, to such an investment, and to confirm that such investment will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction or any other violation of an applicable requirement of ERISA, the Code, or any applicable Similar Laws.

The sale of the exchange notes to an ERISA Plan, an Other Plan Investor or to a person using assets of any ERISA Plan or Other Plan Investor to effect its acquisition of the exchange notes, is in no respect a representation by Products Corporation that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by ERISA Plans or Other Plan Investors generally or any particular ERISA Plan or Other Plan Investor or that such an investment is appropriate for ERISA Plans or Other Plan Investors generally or any particular ERISA Plan or Other Plan Investor.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for initial notes acquired as a result of market making or other trading activities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and, therefore, must deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales, offers to resell or other transfers of the exchange notes received by it in connection with the exchange offer. Accordingly, each such broker-dealer must acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers) meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver, and by delivering a prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus to purchasers), a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for initial notes where such initial notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the expiration of this exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale or to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to this exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to this exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer other than commissions or concessions or fees and expenses of counsel of any brokers or dealers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Revlon Consumer Products Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), stockholder’s deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is the direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Revlon, Inc., which is an indirect majority-owned operating subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, “MacAndrews & Forbes”), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman. The Company’s vision is to establish Revlon as the quintessential and most innovative beauty company in the world by offering products that make consumers feel attractive and beautiful. We want to inspire our consumers to express themselves boldly and confidently. The Company operates in three reporting segments: the consumer division (“Consumer”); the professional division (“Professional”); and Other (as described below). The Company manufactures, markets and sells worldwide an extensive array of beauty and personal care products, including color cosmetics, hair color, hair care and hair treatments, beauty tools, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants, fragrances, skincare and other beauty care products. The Company’s principal customers for its products in the Consumer segment include large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, the Internet/e-commerce, television shopping, department stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, specialty cosmetics stores and perfumeries in the U.S. and internationally. The Company’s principal customers for its products in the Professional segment include hair and nail salons and distributors to professional salons in the U.S. and internationally.

Effective in the second quarter of 2015, the Company has a third reporting segment, Other, which includes the operating results of certain brands that our chief operating decision maker reviews on a stand-alone basis. The results included within the Other segment include the operating results and purchase accounting for the Company’s April 2015 acquisition of the CBBeauty Group and certain of its related entities (collectively “CBB” and such transaction, the “CBB Acquisition”). CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under various celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally through department stores and selective distribution in international territories. The results included within the Other segment are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 2, “Business Combinations,” for further details related to the CBB Acquisition.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts after the elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, trade support costs, certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, restructuring costs, certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the net periodic benefit (income) costs and the projected benefit obligations for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans, including the expected long-term return on pension plan assets and the discount rate used to value the Company’s pension benefit obligations.

Discontinued Operations Presentation

As a result of the Company’s decision on December 30, 2013 to exit its direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China, the Company has reported the results of its former China operations within (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented. See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” for further discussion.

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents are primarily investments in high-quality, short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents were $1.6 million and $6.3 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accounts payable includes $19.5 million and $2.2 million of outstanding checks not yet presented for payment at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Trade Receivables:

Trade receivables represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances which are estimated to be uncollectible at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer’s ability to perform its payment obligations. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical experience and ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables and evaluations of the risks of payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against trade receivable balances when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) when received. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for an aggregate of approximately 27% and 31%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding trade receivables.

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is based on standard cost and production variances, which approximates actual cost on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor and direct overhead, as well as in-bound freight. The Company records adjustments to the value of inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell products included in inventory, as well as planned product discontinuances. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Assets:

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets as follows: land improvements, 20 to 30 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years; office furniture and fixtures, 3 to 15 years; and capitalized software, 2 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases or remaining life of the original structure, respectively, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized. See Note 7, “Property, Plant and Equipment” for further discussion.

Included in other assets are permanent wall displays amounting to $65.6 million and $63.3 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are amortized generally over a period of 1 to 3 years. In the event of product discontinuances, from time to time the Company may accelerate the amortization of related permanent wall displays based on the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Amortization expense for permanent wall displays was $41.3 million, $42.5 million and $39.2 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has also included, in other assets, net deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s debt instruments amounting to $21.3 million and $26.9 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments using the effective-interest method.

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest) resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. In connection with integrating Colomer into the Company’s business, the Company determined it would implement a company-wide, SAP enterprise resource planning system. As a result, the Company recognized a $5.9 million impairment charge related to in-progress capitalized software development costs during the year ended December 31, 2013 which was included as a component of acquisition and integration costs for 2013 in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss). There were no significant impairment to long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price for businesses acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is reviewed annually for impairment at the reporting unit level using September 30th carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount may not be recovered.

For 2015, in assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment test performed as of September 30th, the Company utilized the two-step process as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. In the first step of this test, the Company compared the fair value of each of the Company’s four reporting units, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount of such reporting unit, including goodwill. Where the fair value of such reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount, no further work was required and no impairment loss was recognized. Where the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit was considered potentially impaired and the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss. As a result of the annual impairment test, the Company recognized a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2015.

For 2014 and 2013, the Company performed qualitative assessments to determine whether it would be necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test and to assess the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment, and in each case determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts for such reporting years. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013 as a result of its annual impairment test.

See Note 2, “Business Combinations” and Note 8, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” for further discussion of the Company’s goodwill and annual impairment test.

Intangible Assets, net:

Intangible Assets, net, include trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, patents and internally developed intellectual property (“IP”) and acquired licenses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually on September 30th, similar to goodwill, and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of its intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company writes off the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for intangible assets in the year in which the asset becomes fully amortized. Finite-lived intangible assets are considered for impairment upon the occurrence of certain “triggering events” and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of the asset group intangible asset exceeds the Company’s estimate of its undiscounted future cash flows. There was no impairment of intangible assets in 2015, 2014 or 2013.

See Note 2, “Business Combinations” and Note 8, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” for further discussion of the Company’s intangible assets, including a summary of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns:

The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company records revenue from the sale of its products when risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less expected product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.

The Company allows customers to return their unsold products if and when they meet certain Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company’s trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns based primarily upon the historical rate of actual product returns, planned product discontinuances, new product launches and estimates of customer inventory and promotional sales. The Company records sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales, and an increase to accrued liabilities and inventories. Returned products, which are recorded as inventories, are valued based upon the amount that the Company expects to realize upon their subsequent disposition. The physical condition and marketability of the returned products are the major factors considered by the Company in estimating their realizable value.

Revenues derived from licensing arrangements, including any pre-payments, are recognized in the period in which they are earned, but not before the initial license term commences.

Cost of Sales:

Cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture the Company’s products. For products manufactured in the Company’s own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such cost represents the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These costs are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their recoverable value. Additionally, cost of sales reflects the costs associated with any free products included as sales and promotional incentives. These incentive costs are recognized on the later of the date that the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include expenses to advertise the Company’s products, such as television advertising production costs and air-time costs, print advertising costs, digital marketing costs, promotional displays and consumer promotions. SG&A expenses also include the amortization of permanent wall displays and finite-lived intangible assets, depreciation of certain fixed assets, distribution costs (such as freight and handling), non-manufacturing overhead (principally personnel and related expenses), selling and trade educations fees, insurance and professional service fees.

Advertising:

Advertising within SG&A expenses includes television, print, digital marketing and other advertising production costs which are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. The costs of promotional displays are expensed in the period in which they are shipped to customers. Advertising expenses were $375.1 million,

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

$383.2 million and $278.5 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were included in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company also has various arrangements with customers pursuant to its trade terms to reimburse them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. Additionally, from time to time the Company may pay fees to customers in order to expand or maintain shelf space for its products. The costs that the Company incurs for “cooperative” advertising programs, end cap placement, shelf placement costs, slotting fees and marketing development funds, if any, are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a reduction within net sales.

Distribution Costs:

Costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs, are recorded within SG&A expenses when incurred. Distribution costs were $80.2 million, $84.9 million and $66.5 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position. The Company recognizes liabilities for unrecognized tax positions in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts is ultimately not required, the reversal of the liabilities would result in additional tax benefits recognized in the period in which the Company determines that the liabilities are no longer required. If the estimate of tax liabilities is ultimately less than the final assessment, this will result in a further charge to expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Research and Development:

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and included within SG&A expenses. The amounts charged in 2015, 2014 and 2013 for research and development expenditures were $31.2 million, $31.6 million and $26.9 million, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation:

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in non-hyperinflationary economies are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until either the sale or upon the complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its investment in a foreign entity. To the extent that foreign subsidiaries and branches operate in hyperinflationary economies, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and translation adjustments are included in the Company’s results of operations.

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Venezuela - Highly-Inflationary Economy: Effective January 1, 2010, Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, beginning January 1, 2010, the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary in Venezuela (“Revlon Venezuela”). As Venezuela is designated as highly inflationary, foreign currency translation adjustments of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet have been reflected in the Company’s earnings.

Venezuela - Foreign Currency Restrictions: Foreign currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government since 2003 have become more restrictive and have had an impact on Revlon Venezuela’s ability to obtain U.S. Dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars (“Bolivars”) at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, the Comisión de Administracion de Divisas (“CADIVI”). In May 2010, the Venezuelan government took control over the previously freely-traded foreign currency exchange market and, in June 2010, replaced it with a new foreign currency exchange system, the Sistema de Transacciones en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”). In the second quarter of 2011, the Company began using a SITME rate of 5.5 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SITME Rate”) to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements, as this was the rate at which the Company accessed U.S. Dollars in the SITME market during this period. Through December 31, 2012, the Company continued using the SITME Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements.

Venezuela - 2013 Foreign Currency Devaluation: In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of Bolivars relative to the U.S. Dollar, changing the official exchange rate to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “Official Rate”). The Venezuelan government also announced that the SITME currency market administered by the central bank would be eliminated, and as a result, the Company began using the Official Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning in 2013. To reflect the impact of the foreign currency devaluation, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $0.6 million in earnings in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities.

Venezuela - 2014 Foreign Currency Devaluation: In January 2014, the Venezuela government announced that the CADIVI would be replaced by the government-operated National Center of Foreign Commerce (the “CENCOEX”), and indicated that the Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas (“SICAD”) market would continue to be offered as an alternative foreign currency exchange. Additionally, a parallel foreign currency exchange system, SICAD II, started functioning in March 2014 and allowed companies to apply for the purchase of foreign currency and foreign currency denominated securities for any legal use or purpose. Throughout 2014, the Company exchanged Bolivars for U.S. Dollars to the extent permitted through the various foreign currency markets available based on its ability to participate in those markets. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Company utilized the Official Rate. Following a consideration of the Company’s specific facts and circumstances, which included its legal ability and intent to participate in the SICAD II exchange market to import finished goods into Venezuela, the Company determined that it was appropriate to utilize the SICAD II rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SICAD II Rate”) to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning on June 30, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities.

Venezuela - 2015 Foreign Currency Devaluation: In February 2015, the Venezuela government introduced a new foreign currency exchange platform, the Marginal Currency System (“SIMADI”), which created a third new mechanism to exchange Bolivars for U.S. Dollars through private brokers. SIMADI replaced the SICAD II system and started operating on February 12, 2015. As a result, the Company considered its specific facts and circumstances in order to determine the appropriate rate of exchange to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has not participated in the SIMADI exchange market; however, given the elimination of the SICAD II system, the Company determined that it was appropriate to use the SIMADI rate of 193 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SIMADI Rate”) to translate Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet beginning on March 31, 2015.

As a result of the change from the SICAD II Rate to the SIMADI Rate, on March 31, 2015 the Company was required to re-measure all of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities at the SIMADI Rate. The

Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 as a result of the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company exited its business operations in Venezuela and changed to a distributor model.

Classes of Stock:

Products Corporation designated 1,000 shares of preferred stock as the “RCPC Preferred Stock”, of which 546 shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and all of which are held by Revlon, Inc. The holder of the RCPC Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive any dividends. The RCPC Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share before any distribution is made to the holder of Products Corporation’s common stock. The holder of the RCPC Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights, except as required by law. The RCPC Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time by Products Corporation, as its option, for $100,000 per share. However, the terms of Products Corporation’s various debt agreements currently restrict Products Corporation’s ability to effect such redemption.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock, measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Upon the vesting of restricted stock, any resulting tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in-capital. Any resulting tax deficiencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) as tax expense to the extent that the tax deficiency amount exceeds any existing additional paid-in-capital resulting from previously realized excess tax benefits from previous awards. The Company reflects such excess tax benefits as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including: (i) foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“FX Contracts”) intended for the purpose of managing foreign currency exchange risk by reducing the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s net cash flows; and (ii) interest rate hedging transactions intended for the purpose of managing interest rate risk associated with Products Corporation’s variable rate indebtedness.

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts

Products Corporation enters into FX Contracts primarily to hedge the anticipated net cash flows resulting from inventory purchases and intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its FX Contracts. The Company records FX Contracts in its consolidated balance sheet at fair value and immediately recognizes changes in fair value in earnings. Fair value of the Company’s FX Contracts is determined by using observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. See Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for further discussion of the Company’s FX Contracts.

Interest Rate Swap

In November 2013, Products Corporation executed the 2013 Interest Rate Swap (as hereinafter defined), which has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to its Acquisition Term Loan (as hereinafter defined). The Company records changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges that are designated as effective instruments as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company immediately recognizes any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges in earnings. The Company recognizes gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in current-period earnings when earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged forecasted transaction. See Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for further discussion of the Company’s 2013 Interest Rate Swap.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of: (i) a major geographical area of operations; (ii) a major line of business; (iii) a major equity method investment; or (iv) other major parts of an entity. ASU No. 2014-08 no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if: (i) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations; or (ii) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. Additional disclosures about discontinued operations are also required. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and is applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2015, and such adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent within a company’s balance sheet. Currently, the Company is required to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts on its classified balance sheet, and this update will simplify the presentation by requiring a single, noncurrent amount. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the current requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2015-11 beginning on January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the financial statements as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The guidance is effective for

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 beginning January 1, 2018 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” that will explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. According to ASU No. 2014-15, substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The likelihood threshold of “probable”, similar to its current use in U.S. GAAP for loss contingencies, will be used to define substantial doubt. Disclosures will be required under ASU No. 2014-15 if conditions give rise to substantial doubt, including whether and how management’s plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption prohibited. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-15 beginning January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

2.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The CBBeauty Group Acquisition

On April 21, 2015 (the “CBB Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the CBB Acquisition for a total cash consideration of $48.6 million. CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under various celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally through department stores and selective distribution in international territories. On the CBB Acquisition Date, the Company used cash on hand to pay approximately 70% of the total cash consideration, or $34.6 million. The remaining $14.0 million of the total cash consideration is payable in equal annual installments over 4 years from the CBB Acquisition Date, subject to the selling shareholders’ compliance with certain service conditions. These remaining installments are recorded as a component of SG&A expenses ratably over the 4-year installment period. CBB is expected to provide the Company with a platform to develop the Company’s presence in the fragrance category. The results of operations of the CBB business are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements commencing on the CBB Acquisition Date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact of the CBB Acquisition on the Company’s consolidated financial results is not material.

The Colomer Acquisition

On October 9, 2013 (the “Colomer Acquisition Date”), Products Corporation completed its acquisition of The Colomer Group Participations, S.L. (“Colomer” and the “Colomer Acquisition”), a Spanish company now known as Beautyge Participations, S.L., which primarily manufactures, markets and sells professional products to hair and nail salons and distributors to professional salons under brands such as Revlon Professional, CND, including CND Shellac, and American Crew, as well as retail and multi-cultural product lines, including under the Creme of Nature brand. The cash purchase price for the Colomer Acquisition was $664.5 million, which Products Corporation financed with proceeds from the Acquisition Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility (both as hereinafter defined). The Colomer Acquisition provides the Company with broad brand, geographic and retailer diversification and substantially expands the Company’s business, providing both distribution into new retailers and cost synergy opportunities.

The results of operations of the Colomer business have been included, in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, commencing on the Colomer Acquisition Date.

For 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company incurred acquisition and integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition, summarized as follows:

There were no acquisition costs in 2015 related to the Colomer Acquisition. Acquisition costs in 2014 and 2013 primarily included legal fees related to the Colomer Acquisition.

Integration costs consist of non-restructuring costs related to integrating Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business. Integration costs incurred during 2015 primarily included legal and professional fees. Integration costs incurred during 2014 primarily included employee-related costs related to management changes and audit-related fees. For 2013, integration costs primarily related to an impairment of in-progress capitalized software development costs, as well as employee-related costs due to management changes.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company accounted for the Colomer Acquisition as a business combination during the fourth quarter of 2013. The table below summarizes the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Colomer Acquisition Date, as well as adjustments made in 2014 after the Colomer Acquisition Date to the amounts initially recorded in 2013 (the “Measurement Period Adjustments”). Accordingly, the Company retrospectively adjusted its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 to reflect these Measurement Period Adjustments. The Measurement Period Adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for 2014.

(a)As previously reported in Revlon, Inc.’s 2013 and 2014 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
(b)The Measurement Period Adjustments to intangible assets, deferred tax liability and goodwill in the first quarter of 2014 related to a change in assumptions used to calculate the fair value of an acquired customer relationship intangible asset, which increased the intangible asset by $5.4 million and extended the life of the asset from 10 to 20 years, increased deferred tax liabilities by $2.1 million and resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $3.3 million.
(c)The Company recorded a $3.9 million income tax adjustment to the beginning tax balance within other assets and a $4.8 million adjustment to other long-term liabilities, resulting in a net increase to goodwill of $0.9 million.

In determining the fair values of net assets acquired in the Colomer Acquisition and resulting goodwill, the Company considered, among other factors, an analysis of Colomer’s historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business, as well as market participants’ intended use of the acquired assets.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results

The unaudited pro forma results include the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Colomer, giving effect to the Colomer Acquisition and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2013.

The Company’s pro forma consolidated net sales and income from continuing operations, before income taxes for 2013, are presented in the following table:

 
Unaudited Pro Forma Results
Year Ended December 31, 2013
Net sales
$
1,908.9
 
Income from continuing operations, before income taxes

The pro forma results, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, include the following pro forma adjustments related to the Colomer Acquisition:

(i) as a result of an $11.1 million fair value adjustment to acquired inventory at the Colomer Acquisition Date, the Company recognized $8.5 million of the increase in cost of sales in its historical 2013 consolidated financial statements. The pro forma adjustments included an adjustment to reverse the $8.5 million recognized in 2013 cost of sales and recognize the full $11.1 million in 2012 cost of sales;

(ii) the pro forma increase in depreciation and amortization expense based on the $14.3 million of fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and acquired finite-lived intangible assets recorded in connection with the Colomer Acquisition in 2013;

(iii) the elimination of $9.0 million of goodwill impairment charges recognized by Colomer in 2013;

(iv) the elimination of $25.8 million of acquisition and integration costs recognized by the Company and Colomer in 2013;

(v) the elimination of $3.6 million of Colomer’s debt facility fees recognized in 2013, as the debt facility was closed on the Colomer Acquisition Date; and

(vi) the $19.4 million pro forma increase in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs in 2013, resulting from the issuance of the Acquisition Term Loan used by Products Corporation to finance the Colomer Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma results do not include: (1) any revenue or cost reductions that may be achieved through the business combination; or (2) the impact of non-recurring items directly related to the business combination.

The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the Colomer Acquisition had been completed as of the date for which the pro forma financial information is presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma results do not purport to project the future consolidated operating results of the combined company.

3.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

2015 Efficiency Program

In September 2015, the Company initiated certain restructuring actions to drive certain organizational efficiencies across the Company’s Consumer and Professional segments (the “2015 Efficiency Program”). These actions, which occurred during 2015 and are planned to occur through 2017, are expected to reduce general and administrative expenses within the Consumer and Professional segments. Of the $9.5 million of restructuring and related charges recognized in 2015 for the 2015 Efficiency Program, $6.0 million related to the Consumer segment and $3.2 million related to the Professional segment, with the remaining charges included within unallocated corporate expenses. The Company expects to recognize total restructuring and related charges for the 2015 Efficiency Program of $10.1 million by the end of 2017, of which $6.1 million relates to the Consumer segment, $3.7 million relates to the Professional segment and the remaining charge relates to unallocated corporate expenses.

A summary of the restructuring and related charges incurred through December 31, 2015 in connection with the 2015 Efficiency Program is presented in the following table:

The Company expects that cash payments will total approximately $10.3 million in connection with the 2015 Efficiency Program, including $0.2 million for capital expenditures (which capital expenditures are excluded from total restructuring and related charges expected to be recognized for the 2015 Efficiency Program), of which $2.8 million was paid in 2015, $5.8 million is expected to be paid in 2016, and the remaining balance expected to be paid in 2017.

Integration Program

Following Products Corporation’s October 2013 Colomer Acquisition, the Company announced in January 2014 that it was implementing actions to integrate Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business, as well as additional restructuring actions identified to reduce costs across the Company’s businesses (all such actions, together, the “Integration Program”).

The Company recognized total restructuring charges, capital expenditures and related non-restructuring costs under the Integration Program of approximately $45 million in the aggregate over the periods described below.

The Integration Program was designed to deliver cost reductions throughout the combined organization by generating synergies and operating efficiencies within the Company’s global supply chain and consolidating offices and back office support, and other actions which were designed to reduce selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. The Company completed the Integration Program as of December 31, 2015.

The approximately $45 million of total non-restructuring costs, capital expenditures and restructuring charges under the Integration Program referred to above consisted of the following:

1.$2.1 million, $5.9 million and $12.5 million of non-restructuring integration costs recognized in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such costs were reflected within acquisition and integration costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are related to combining Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business;
2.Total integration-related capital expenditures of $5.3 million, of which $0.9 million and $4.4 million were paid during 2015 and 2014, respectively; and

During 2015, the Company recorded a $1.8 million benefit related to a change in estimate in connection with the Integration Program, of which $3.1 million is related to the Consumer segment, partially offset by additional charges of $1.3 million related to the Professional segment. During 2014, the Company recorded $20.1 million of charges related to the Integration Program, of which $10.2 million related to the Consumer segment and $9.9 million related to the Professional segment.

The Company expects that cash payments related to the restructuring and related charges in connection with the Integration Program will total approximately $18 million, of which $6.7 million was paid during 2015 and $9.6 million was paid during 2014. The remaining balance is expected to be paid in 2016.

December 2013 Program

In December 2013, the Company announced restructuring actions that included exiting its direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China, as well as implementing other immaterial restructuring actions outside the U.S. that are expected to generate operating efficiencies (the “December 2013 Program”). These restructuring actions resulted in the Company eliminating approximately 1,100 positions in 2014, primarily in China, which included eliminating in the first quarter of 2014 approximately 940 beauty advisors retained indirectly through a third-party agency. The charges incurred for the December 2013 Program relate entirely to the Consumer segment.

the Cutex Acquisition. See Note 1, “Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for further discussion of the “Other” segment and Note 2, “Business Combinations,” for further discussion of the CBB Acquisition.

For 2015, the Company utilized the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, in order to identify potential impairment for each of its reporting units. In the first step of this test, the Company compared the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the respective carrying amount, including goodwill. Where the fair value of such reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount, no further work was required and no impairment loss was recognized. The results of the step one test concluded that impairment indicators may have existed within the Global Color Brands reporting unit as a result of the observed decline in sales of the Pure Ice nail enamel brand, primarily driven by the effects of declines in the promotional activity for the Pure Ice brand at retailers and, accordingly, the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment test for this reporting unit.

In the second step, the Company measured the potential impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the Global Color Brands reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill at September 30, 2015. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, where the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was allocated to all the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit (including both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that reporting unit’s goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized within operations. The Company determined the fair value of the Global Color Brands reporting unit using discounted estimated future cash flows. The weighted average cost of capital in testing the Global Color Brands reporting unit for impairment was 13.0% with a perpetual growth rate of 2.0%. As a result of this annual impairment test, the Company recognized a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Global Color Brands reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2015.

(*)At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company classified $30.0 million and $31.5 million, respectively, of long-term debt as a current liability, which was primarily comprised of $23.2 million and $24.6 million of required “excess cash flow” prepayments (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement, as hereinafter defined). The excess cash flow prepayment for 2015 will be paid on or prior to April 9, 2016. The 2014 excess cash flow prepayment was paid on March 12, 2015. The current portion of long-term debt also includes the Company’s annual principal amortization payments (payable in equal quarterly installments and after giving effect to such prepayments) of $6.8 million and $6.9 million due in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company completed the following debt transactions during 2015 and 2014.

2015 Debt Related Transaction

Amended Term Loan Facility - Excess Cash Flow Payment

In March 2015, Products Corporation prepaid $24.6 million of indebtedness, representing 50% of its 2014 “excess cash flow” as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement, in accordance with the terms of its Amended Term Loan Facility. The prepayment was applied on a ratable basis between the principal amounts outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan. The amount of the prepayment that was applied to the 2011 Term Loan reduced the principal amount outstanding by $12.1 million to $662.9 million (as all amortization payments under the 2011 Term Loan had been paid). The $12.5 million that was applied to the Acquisition Term Loan reduced Products Corporation’s future regularly scheduled quarterly amortization payments under the Acquisition Term Loan on a ratable basis from $1.8 million prior to the prepayment to $1.7 million after giving effect to the prepayment and through its maturity on October 8, 2019.

2014 Debt Related Transactions

February 2014 Term Loan Amendment

In February 2014, Products Corporation entered into an amendment (the “February 2014 Term Loan Amendment”) to its amended term loan agreement among Products Corporation, as borrower, a syndicate of lenders and Citicorp USA, Inc. (“CUSA”), as administrative agent and collateral agent. The amended term loan

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

agreement is comprised of: (i) the term loan due November 19, 2017, in the original aggregate principal amount of $675.0 million, which had $662.9 million in aggregate principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2015 (the “2011 Term Loan” or the “2011 Term Loan Facility”); and (ii) the term loan due October 8, 2019, in the original aggregate principal amount of $700 million, which had $673.7 million in aggregate principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2015 (the “Acquisition Term Loan”) (together, the “Amended Term Loan Agreement” and the “Amended Term Loan Facility”). Pursuant to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, the interest rates applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the 2011 Term Loan bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5% per annum, with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 0.75% (compared to 3.0% and 1.0%, respectively, prior to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment), while Alternate Base Rate Loans under the 2011 Term Loan bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.5%, with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 1.75% (compared to 2.0% in each case prior to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment) (and as each such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement).

Products Corporation’s Acquisition Term Loan and Products Corporation’s $175.0 million asset-based, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”) were not amended in connection with the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment.

During 2014, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million of fees and expenses in connection with the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, which were expensed as incurred, and wrote-off $0.8 million of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs as a result of the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment. These amounts, totaling $1.9 million, were recognized within loss on early extinguishment of debt in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Repayment of Non-Contributed Loan

On May 1, 2014, Products Corporation used available cash on hand to optionally prepay in full the remaining $58.4 million principal amount outstanding under the non-contributed loan portion of Product Corporation’s amended and restated senior subordinated term loan agreement with MacAndrews & Forbes (the “Non-Contributed Loan”) that remained owing from Products Corporation to various third parties. The Non-Contributed Loan would have otherwise matured on October 8, 2014. In connection with such prepayment, the Company wrote-off $0.1 million of deferred financing costs, which were recognized within loss on early extinguishment of debt in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for 2014.

Long-Term Debt Agreements

(a) Amended Credit Agreements

The following is a summary description of the Amended Term Loan Facility, which includes the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan, and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the Amended Term Loan Agreement and/or the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreements”), as applicable. Investors should refer to the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement and/or the Amended Term Loan Agreement for complete terms and conditions, as these summary descriptions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.

Amended Revolving Credit Facility

Availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility varies based on a borrowing base that is determined by the value of eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory in the U.S. and the U.K. and eligible real property and equipment in the U.S. from time to time.

In January 2014, certain of Products Corporation’s U.S.-domiciled subsidiaries acquired in the Colomer Acquisition (the “Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries”) became additional guarantors under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture. In January and May 2015, certain of Product Corporation’s newly-formed U.S.-domiciled subsidiaries in the

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Professional segment and formed in connection with the CBB Acquisition (collectively, the “New U.S. Subsidiaries”) became additional guarantors under such debt instruments. In connection with becoming guarantors, substantially all of the assets of such subsidiaries were pledged as collateral under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, thereby increasing the value of the assets supporting the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

If the value of the eligible assets is not sufficient to support the $175.0 million borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation will not have full access to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Products Corporation’s ability to borrow under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and Products Corporation’s compliance with other covenants in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.

In each case subject to borrowing base availability, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available to:

(i) Products Corporation in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;

(ii) Products Corporation in swing line loans denominated in U.S. Dollars up to $30.0 million;

(iii) Products Corporation in standby and commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies up to $60.0 million; and

(iv) Products Corporation and certain of its international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers’ acceptances denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies.

Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest, if made as Eurodollar Loans, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below and, if made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below.

Prior to the termination date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, revolving loans are required to be prepaid (without any permanent reduction in commitment) with:

(i) the net cash proceeds from sales of Revolving Credit First Lien Collateral by Products Corporation or any of Products Corporation’s subsidiary guarantors (other than dispositions in the ordinary course of business and certain other exceptions); and

(ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt, to the extent there remains any such proceeds after satisfying Products Corporation’s repayment obligations under the Amended Term Loan Facility.

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Products Corporation pays to the lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility a commitment fee of 0.25% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation also pays:

(i) to foreign lenders a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans (which fee is retained by foreign lenders out of the portion of the Applicable Margin payable to such foreign lender);

(ii) to foreign lenders an administrative fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans;

(iii) to the multi-currency lenders a letter of credit commission equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Margin for revolving credit loans that are Eurodollar Rate loans (adjusted for the term that the letter of credit is outstanding) and (b) the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit; and

(iv) to the issuing lender, a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit, which fee is a portion of the Applicable Margin.

Under certain circumstances, Products Corporation has the right to request that the Amended Revolving Credit Facility be increased by up to $100.0 million, provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase.

Under certain circumstances, if and when the difference between (i) the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the amounts outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is less than $20.0 million for a period of two consecutive days or more, and until such difference is equal to or greater than $20.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility requires Products Corporation to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of EBITDA minus Capital Expenditures to Cash Interest Expense for such period) of a minimum of 1.0 to 1.0.

The Amended Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of August 14, 2018 and the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any term loans then outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility, but not earlier than June 16, 2016.

Amended Term Loan Facility

Term loans under the Amended Term Loan Facility bear interest at the following interest rates:

 
Eurodollar Loans
Alternate Base Rate Loans
2011 Term Loans
Eurodollar Rate plus 2.50% per annum (with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 0.75%)
Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50% (with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 1.75%)
Acquisition Term Loans
Eurodollar Rate plus 3.00% per annum (with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 1.00%)
Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00% (with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 2.00%)

The term loans under the Amended Term Loan Facility are required to be prepaid with:

(i) the net cash proceeds in excess of $10 million for each 12-month period ending on March 31 received during such period from sales of Term Loan First Lien Collateral by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiary guarantors, with carryover of unused annual basket amounts up to a maximum of $25 million and with respect to certain specified dispositions up to an additional $25 million in the aggregate (subject to a reinvestment right for 365 days, or 545 days if the Company has within such 365-day period entered into a legally binding commitment to invest such funds);

(ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt; and

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

(iii) 50% of Products Corporation’s “excess cash flow” (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement).

As of December 31, 2015, Products Corporation is required to prepay, on or before 100 days following the last day of its fiscal year (i.e., by April 9, 2016), $23.2 million of indebtedness under the Amended Term Loan Facility, representing 50% of its 2015 “excess cash flow” (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement). The prepayment will be applied on a ratable basis between the principal amounts outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan. The amount of the prepayment to be applied to the 2011 Term Loan will be used to reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding (as all amortization payments under the 2011 Term Loan have been paid), while the amount to be applied to the Acquisition Term Loan will be used to reduce Products Corporation’s future annual amortization payments (which are payable in equal quarterly installments) on a ratable basis from $6.9 million prior to the prepayment to $6.8 million after giving effect to the prepayment and through its maturity on October 8, 2019.

The Amended Term Loan Facility contains a financial covenant limiting Products Corporation’s first lien senior secured leverage ratio (the ratio of Products Corporation’s senior secured debt that has a lien on the collateral which secures the Amended Term Loan Facility that is not junior or subordinated to the liens securing the Amended Term Loan Facility (excluding debt outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility)) to EBITDA, as each such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Facility, to no more than 4.25 to 1.0 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending through the maturity date of the Amended Term Loan Facility.

Products Corporation, under certain circumstances, also has the right to request the Amended Term Loan Facility to be increased by up to the greater of: (i) $300 million; and (ii) an amount such that Products Corporation’s First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) does not exceed 3.50:1.00. The lenders are not committed to provide any such increase. Any such increase would be in addition to the Acquisition Term Loan.

The 2011 Term Loan outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility matures on November 19, 2017. The Acquisition Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility has the same terms as the 2011 Term Loans, except that: (i) it matures on the sixth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition Term Loan (or October 8, 2019); and (ii) it amortizes on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (which commenced March 31, 2014), in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Acquisition Term Loan.

Provisions Applicable to the Amended Term Loan Facility and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility

The Amended Credit Agreements are supported by, among other things, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. and, subject to certain limited exceptions, Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries. Products Corporation’s obligations under the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement and the obligations under such guarantees are secured by, subject to certain limited exceptions, substantially all of Products Corporation’s assets and the assets of the guarantors, including:

(i) a mortgage on certain material owned real property, including Products Corporation’s facility in Oxford, North Carolina;

(ii) Products Corporation’s capital stock and the capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 66% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Products Corporation’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ first-tier, non-U.S. subsidiaries;

(iii) Products Corporation’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ intellectual property and other intangible property; and

(iv) Products Corporation’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ inventory, trade receivables, equipment, investment property and deposit accounts.

The liens on, among other things, inventory, trade receivables, deposit accounts, investment property (other than Products Corporation’s capital stock and the capital stock of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries), real property, equipment, fixtures and certain intangible property secure the Amended Revolving Credit Facility on a

first priority basis and the Amended Term Loan Facility on a second priority basis. The liens on Products Corporation’s capital stock and the capital stock of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries and intellectual property and certain other intangible property secure the Amended Term Loan Facility on a first priority basis and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility on a second priority basis. Such arrangements are set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2010, by and among Products Corporation and CUSA, as administrative agent and as collateral agent for the benefit of the secured parties for the Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility (the “2010 Intercreditor Agreement”). The 2010 Intercreditor Agreement also provides that the liens referred to above may be shared from time to time, subject to certain limitations, with specified types of other obligations incurred or guaranteed by Products Corporation, such as foreign exchange and interest rate hedging obligations and foreign working capital lines.

The Amended Credit Agreements contain various restrictive covenants prohibiting Products Corporation and its subsidiaries from:

(i) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees, with certain exceptions;

(ii) making dividend and other payments or loans to Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates, with certain exceptions, including among others:

(a) exceptions permitting Products Corporation to pay dividends or make other payments to Revlon, Inc. to enable it to, among other things, pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal, accounting and insurance fees, regulatory fees, such as SEC filing fees and NYSE listing fees, and other expenses related to being a public holding company;

(b) subject to certain circumstances, to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan and/or the payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under such plan;

(c) subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends or make other payments to finance the purchase, redemption or other retirement for value by Revlon, Inc. of stock or other equity interests or equivalents in Revlon, Inc. held by any current or former director, employee or consultant in his or her capacity as such; and

(d) subject to certain limitations, to make other restricted payments to Products Corporation’s affiliates in an amount up to $10 million per year (plus $10 million for each calendar year commencing with 2011), other restricted payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35 million and certain other restricted payments, including without limitation those based upon certain financial tests;

(iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on Products Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ assets or revenues, granting negative pledges or selling or transferring any of Products Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ assets, all subject to certain limited exceptions;

(iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or acquisition transactions;

(v) prepaying indebtedness and modifying the terms of certain indebtedness and specified material contractual obligations, subject to certain exceptions;

(vi) making investments, subject to certain exceptions; and

(vii) entering into transactions with Products Corporation’s affiliates involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10 million other than upon terms that are not materially less favorable when taken as a whole to Products Corporation or its subsidiaries as terms that would be obtainable at

The events of default under the Amended Credit Agreements include customary events of default for such types of agreements, including, among others:

(i) nonpayment of any principal, interest or other fees when due, subject in the case of interest and fees to a grace period;

(ii) non-compliance with the covenants in the Amended Term Loan Agreement, the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement or the ancillary security documents, subject in certain instances to grace periods;

(iii) the institution of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings by or against Products Corporation, any of its subsidiaries or Revlon, Inc., subject in certain instances to grace periods;

(iv) default by Revlon, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (A) in the payment of certain indebtedness when due (whether at maturity or by acceleration) in excess of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount or (B) in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to such debt, provided that the amount of debt involved is in excess of $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount, or the occurrence of any other event, the effect of which default referred to in this subclause (iv) is to cause or permit the holders of such debt to cause the acceleration of payment of such debt;

(v) in the case of the Amended Term Loan Facility, a cross default under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, and in the case of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, a cross default under the Amended Term Loan Facility;

(vi) the failure by Products Corporation, certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries or Revlon, Inc. to pay certain material judgments;

(vii) a change of control such that: (A) Revlon, Inc. shall cease to be the beneficial and record owner of 100% of Products Corporation’s capital stock; (B) Ronald O. Perelman (or his estate, heirs, executors, administrator or other personal representative) and his or their controlled affiliates shall cease to “control” Products Corporation, and any other person or group of persons owns, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of Products Corporation’s total voting power; (C) any person or group of persons other than Ronald O. Perelman (or his estate, heirs, executors, administrator or other personal representative) and his or their controlled affiliates shall “control” Products Corporation; or (D) during any period of two consecutive years, the directors serving on Products Corporation’s Board of Directors at the beginning of such period (or other directors nominated by at least a majority of such continuing directors) shall cease to be a majority of the directors;

(viii) Revlon, Inc. shall have any meaningful assets or indebtedness or shall conduct any meaningful business other than its ownership of Products Corporation and such activities as are customary for a publicly traded holding company which is not itself an operating company, in each case subject to limited exceptions; and

If Products Corporation is in default under the senior secured leverage ratio under the Amended Term Loan Facility or the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, Products Corporation may cure such default by issuing certain equity securities to, or receiving capital contributions from, Revlon, Inc. and applying such cash which is deemed to increase EBITDA for the purpose of calculating the applicable ratio. Products Corporation may exercise this cure right two times in any four-quarter period.

Covenants

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan and the 2011 Term Loan were $673.7 million and $662.9 million, respectively, and availability under the $175.0 million Amended Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the calculated borrowing base less $8.8 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit and nil then drawn on the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, was $166.2 million.

(b) 5¾% Senior Notes

On February 8, 2013, Products Corporation completed its offering (the “2013 Senior Notes Refinancing”), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”), of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes. The 5¾% Senior Notes are unsecured and were issued to investors at par. The 5¾% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2021. Interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes accrues at 5¾% per annum, paid every six months on February 15th and August 15th. (See “Registration Rights” below).

The 5¾% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Notes Closing Date”), by and among Products Corporation, Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), which also currently guarantee Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Guarantors issued guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of Products Corporation’s obligations under the 5¾% Senior Notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture on a joint and several, senior unsecured basis. The Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries became additional guarantors in January 2014 and the New U.S. Subsidiaries became additional guarantors in January and May 2015, in each case under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture.

In December 2013, Products Corporation consummated an offer to exchange the original 5¾% Senior Notes for $500 million of new 5¾% Senior Notes, which have substantially the same terms as the original 5¾% Senior Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act (such registered new notes being the “5¾% Senior Notes”). See “Registration Rights” below for further discussion.

Products Corporation used a portion of the $491.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes (net of underwriters’ fees) to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Secured Notes, as well as to pay $8.6 million of accrued interest. Products Corporation incurred an aggregate of $19.4 million of fees for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, related fees and expenses in connection with redemption and repayment of the 9¾% Senior Secured Notes and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes. Products Corporation used a portion of the remaining proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113.0 million of principal on its 2011 Term Loan in conjunction with the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation used 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 on October 8, 2013 the Contributed Loan, which Revlon, Inc. used to pay the liquidation preference of Revlon, Inc.’s then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) in connection with its mandatory redemption on such date.

Ranking

The 5¾% Senior Notes are Products Corporation’s unsubordinated, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of Products Corporation and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of Products Corporation. Similarly, each Guarantee is the relevant Guarantor’s joint and several, unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such Guarantor and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor. The Guarantees were issued on a joint and several basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

The 5¾% Senior Notes and the Guarantees rank effectively junior to Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which are secured, as well as indebtedness and preferred stock of Products Corporation’s foreign and immaterial subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), none of which guarantee the 5¾% Senior Notes.

Optional Redemption

The 5¾% Senior Notes may be redeemed at Products Corporation’s option, at any time as a whole, or from time to time in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15th of the years indicated below:

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, Products Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase all of the 5¾% Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes as of the date of any such repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Certain Covenants

The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture limits Products Corporation’s and the Guarantors’ ability, and the ability of certain other subsidiaries, to:

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness (“Limitation on Debt”);
pay dividends, make repayments on indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the 5¾% Senior Notes and make other “restricted payments” (“Limitation on Restricted Payments”);
make certain investments;
create liens on their assets to secure debt;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company (“Successor Company”);
transfer and sell assets (“Limitation on Asset Sales”); and
permit restrictions on the payment of dividends by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries (“Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries”).

These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

In addition, if during any period of time the 5¾% Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants on Limitation on Debt, Limitation on Restricted Payments, Limitation on Asset Sales, Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries and certain provisions of the Successor Company covenant.

Registration Rights

On the Notes Closing Date, Products Corporation, the Guarantors and the representatives of the initial purchasers of the 5¾% Senior Notes entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Products

F-35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Corporation and the Guarantors agreed with the representatives of the initial purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the 5¾% Senior Notes, that Products Corporation would, at its cost, among other things: (i) file a registration statement with respect to the 5¾% Senior Notes within 150 days after the Notes Closing Date to be used in connection with the exchange of the 5¾% Senior Notes and related guarantees for publicly registered notes and related guarantees with substantially identical terms in all material respects (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the 5¾% Senior Notes and interest rate increases as described below); (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 210 days after the Notes Closing Date; and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to effect an exchange offer of the 5¾% Senior Notes and the related guarantees for registered notes and related guarantees within 270 days after the Notes Closing Date. In addition, under certain circumstances, Products Corporation was required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the 5¾% Senior Notes. If Products Corporation failed to satisfy such obligations, it was obligated to pay additional interest to each holder of the 5¾% Senior Notes that were subject to transfer restrictions, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following any such failure, at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes that were subject to transfer restrictions held by such holder. The amount of additional interest increased by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all registration requirements were satisfied, up to a maximum amount of additional interest of 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes that were subject to transfer restrictions.

On December 24, 2013, Products Corporation, consummated an offer to exchange Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes for new notes, with substantially the same terms, but which were registered under the Securities Act. By having the registration statement declared effective by the SEC on November 22, 2013, Products Corporation cured the first registration default that occurred under the Registration Rights Agreement, because the Registration Statement had not been declared effective by September 6, 2013. By consummating the Exchange Offer on December 24, 2013, Products Corporation cured the second registration default under the Registration Rights Agreement, that occurred because Products Corporation had not consummated the Exchange Offer by November 5, 2013. The first registration default caused the interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes to increase from 5.75% per annum to 6.00% per annum from September 7, 2013 through December 5, 2013 and the second registration default caused the interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes to increase to 6.25% per annum from December 6, 2013 through December 23, 2013. With Products Corporation having consummated the Exchange Offer on December 24, 2013, interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes resumed accruing at the original rate of 5.75% per annum effective from such date. The Company recorded additional interest expense of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 with respect to the registration defaults.

Covenants

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture as of December 31, 2015.

(c) Spanish Government Loan

In connection with the Colomer Acquisition, the Company acquired the Colomer Group’s euro-denominated loan payable to the Spanish government (the “Spanish Government Loan”), which loan had $0.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2015 (based on foreign exchange rates in effect as of such date). The Spanish Government Loan does not bear interest and is payable in 10 equal installments on June 30th of each year beginning in 2016 through 2025.

12.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities are required to be categorized into three levels of fair value based upon the assumptions used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Level 1: Fair valuing the asset or liability using observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Fair valuing the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
Level 3: Fair valuing the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

13.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Products Corporation maintains standby and trade letters of credit for various corporate purposes under which Products Corporation is obligated, of which $8.8 million and $9.0 million (including amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were maintained at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Included in these amounts are approximately $7.5 million and $7.7 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, in standby letters of credit that support Products Corporation’s self-insurance programs. The estimated liability under such programs is accrued by Products Corporation.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily: (i) FX Contracts, intended for the purpose of managing foreign currency exchange risk by reducing the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s net cash flows; and (ii) interest rate hedging transactions, such as the 2013 Interest Rate Swap referred to below, intended for the purpose of managing interest rate risk associated with Products Corporation’s variable rate indebtedness.

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts

The FX Contracts are entered into primarily to hedge the anticipated net cash flows resulting from inventory purchases and intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year.

The U.S. Dollar notional amount of the FX Contracts outstanding at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $76.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Transaction

In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction with a 1.00% floor, based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan over a period of three years (the “2013 Interest Rate Swap”). The Company designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to the $400 million notional amount under the Acquisition Term Loan over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Commencing in May 2015, Products Corporation receives from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month USD LIBOR or 1.00%, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.0709% over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). For 2015, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was deemed effective and therefore the changes in fair value related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap have been recorded in Other Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2015, the balance of deferred net losses on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $3.8 million after-tax. (See “Quantitative Information – Derivative Financial Instruments” below).

F-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

The Company expects that $2.4 million of the after-tax deferred net losses related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap will be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The amount ultimately realized in earnings may differ, as LIBOR is subject to change. Realized gains and losses are ultimately determined by actual rates at maturity of the derivative.

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $2.0 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the Company’s counterparties to its derivative instruments, the Company believes that the risk of loss under these derivative instruments arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties is remote.

14.   SAVINGS PLAN, PENSION AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Savings Plan:

The Company offers a qualified defined contribution plan for its U.S.-based employees, the Revlon Employees’ Savings, Investment and Profit Sharing Plan (as amended, the “Savings Plan”), which allows eligible participants to contribute up to 25%, and highly compensated participants to contribute up to 6%, of eligible compensation through payroll deductions, subject to certain annual dollar limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The Company matches employee contributions at fifty cents for each dollar contributed up to the first 6% of eligible compensation. The Company made cash matching contributions to the Savings Plan of $2.5 million during 2015 and $2.4 million during each of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company also offers a non-qualified defined contribution plan (the “Excess Savings Plan”) providing benefits for certain U.S. employees who are in excess of IRS limitations. These non-qualified defined contribution benefits are funded from the Company’s general assets.

The Company’s qualified and non-qualified defined contribution savings plans for its U.S.-based employees contain a discretionary profit sharing component that enables the Company, should it elect to do so, to make discretionary profit sharing contributions. For 2015, the Company made discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and Excess Savings Plan of $4.8 million (of which $3.7 million was paid in 2015 and $1.1 million was paid in January 2016), or 3% of eligible compensation, which was credited on a quarterly basis. For 2014, the Company made discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and Excess Savings Plan of $4.0 million (of which $3.1 million was paid in 2014 and $0.9 million was paid in January 2015), or 3% of eligible compensation, which was credited on a quarterly basis. In 2013, the Company made discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and Excess Savings Plan of $4.1 million (of which $3.2 million was paid in 2013 and $0.9 million was paid in January 2014), or 3% of eligible compensation, which was credited on a quarterly basis.

Pension Benefits:

In 2009, Products Corporation’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (the Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan, which covered a substantial portion of the Company’s employees in the U.S.) and its non-qualified pension plan (the Revlon Pension Equalization Plan) were amended to cease future benefit accruals under such plans after December 31, 2009. No additional benefits have accrued since December 31, 2009, other than interest credits on participant account balances under the cash balance program of the Company’s U.S. pension plans. Also, service credits for vesting and early retirement eligibility will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the respective plans. In 2010, the Company amended its Canadian defined benefit pension plan (the Affiliated Revlon Companies Employment Plan) to reduce future benefit accruals under such plan after December 31, 2010. Additionally, while the Company closed its U.K. defined pension plan to new entrants in 2002, then-existing participants continue to accrue pension benefits.

Effective December 31, 2012, Products Corporation merged two of its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans; therefore, as of December 31, 2012, Products Corporation sponsors two U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans. The Company also has non-qualified pension plans that provide benefits for certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees, and for U.S. employees in excess of IRS limitations in the U.S. and in certain limited cases contractual benefits for certain former officers of the Company. These non-qualified plans are funded from the Company’s general assets.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company offered certain former employees who had vested benefits in the Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan the option of receiving the present value of the participant’s pension benefit in a one-time cash lump sum payment, an annuity form of benefit or the ability to maintain their deferred vested status in the pension plan. Based upon the participants’ acceptance of that offer, $53.4 million was paid from the plan’s assets in December 2015, with a corresponding decrease in the plan’s benefit obligation. As a result of such program, the Company recorded a $20.7 million charge as a result of the pension lump sum settlement in the fourth quarter of 2015. This charge was included in cost of sales and SG&A expenses.

Other Post-retirement Benefits:

The Company previously sponsored an unfunded retiree benefit plan, which provides death benefits payable to beneficiaries of a very limited number of former employees. Participation in this plan was limited to participants enrolled as of December 31, 1993. The Company also administers an unfunded medical insurance plan on behalf of Revlon Holdings, certain costs of which have been apportioned to Revlon Holdings under the transfer agreements among Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes. (See Note 20, “Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements”).

For 2015, the Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $18.8 million, compared to net periodic benefit income of $(5.4) million in 2014, primarily due to the pension lump sum settlement charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 and higher amortization of actuarial losses.

For 2014, the Company recognized net periodic benefit income of $(5.4) million, as compared to $(0.4) million in 2013, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of pension plan assets at December 31, 2014, as well as lower amortization of actuarial losses.

Net periodic benefit costs (income) are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as follows:

As of December 31, 2015, the Company adopted the “full yield curve” method as an alternative approach to calculating the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefits. Under the “full yield curve” method, the discount rate assumption was built through the application of specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows for each of the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans. Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company estimated the service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. This change does not affect the measurement of the Company’s total projected benefit obligations, as the change in service and interest costs is exactly offset in the actuarial loss (gain) recognized for each year. The Company made this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. The change to the “full yield curve” method was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle, and accordingly, has been accounted for prospectively.

In selecting its expected long-term rate of return on its pension plan assets, the Company considers a number of factors, including, without limitation, recent and historical performance of pension plan assets, the pension plan portfolios’ asset allocations over a variety of time periods compared with third-party studies, the performance of the capital markets in recent years and other factors, as well as advice from various third parties,

such as the pension plans’ advisors, investment managers and actuaries. While the Company considered both the recent performance and the historical performance of pension plan assets, the Company’s assumptions are based primarily on its estimates of long-term, prospective rates of return. Using the aforementioned methodologies, the Company selected a 7.50% and 6.00% weighted average long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption during 2015 for the U.S. and International pension plans, respectively. Differences between actual and expected asset returns are recognized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active participating employees.

The rate of future compensation increases is an assumption used by the actuarial consultants for pension accounting and is determined based on the Company’s current expectation for such increases.

Investment Policy:

The Investment Committee for the Company’s U.S. pension plans (the “Investment Committee”) has adopted (and revises from time to time) an investment policy for the Company’s U.S. pension plans with the objective of realizing a long-term rate of return on pension plan assets that meets or exceeds, over time, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, weighed against a reasonable risk level. In connection with this objective, the Investment Committee retains a professional investment advisor who recommends investment managers that invest plan assets in the following asset classes: common and preferred stock, mutual funds, fixed income securities, common and collective funds, hedge funds, group annuity contracts and cash and other investments. The Company’s international plans follow a similar methodology in conjunction with local actuarial consultants and asset managers.

The investment policy adopted by the Investment Committee provides for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded securities, among other things. The investments are in domestic and international stocks, ranging from small to large capitalization stocks, debt securities ranging from domestic and international treasury issues, corporate debt securities, mortgages and asset-backed issues. Other investments may include cash and cash equivalents and hedge funds. The investment policy also allows for investments in private equity funds that are not covered in investments described above, provided that the Investment Committee approves any such investments prior to their selection. Also, global balanced strategies are utilized to provide for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded stocks and bonds in both domestic and international markets, as described above. In addition, the global balanced strategies can include commodities, provided that the Investment Committee approves any such investments prior to their selection.

The Investment Committee’s investment policy does not allow the use of derivatives for speculative purposes, but such policy does allow its investment managers to use derivatives for the purpose of reducing risk exposures or to replicate exposures of a particular asset class.

The Company’s U.S. and international pension plans have target asset allocation ranges which are intended to be flexible guidelines for allocating the plans’ assets among various classes of assets. These target ranges are reviewed periodically and considered for readjustment when an asset class weighting is outside of its target range (recognizing that these are flexible target ranges that may vary from time to time) with the objective of meeting or exceeding the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, weighed against a reasonable risk level. The target ranges per asset class are as follows:

The Company determines the fair values of the Company’s U.S. and international pension plan assets as follows:

Common and preferred stock: The fair values of investments included in the common and preferred stock asset class generally reflect the closing price reported on the major market where the individual securities are traded. The Company classifies common and preferred stock investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Mutual funds: The fair values of investments included in the mutual funds asset class are determined using net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the applicable fund administrators. The NAV is based on the closing price reported on the major market where the individual securities within the mutual fund are traded. The Company classifies mutual fund investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities: The fair values of investments included in the fixed income securities asset class are based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and/or broker quotes. The Company classifies fixed income securities investments primarily within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Common and collective funds: The fair values of investments included in the common and collective funds asset class are determined using NAV provided by the applicable fund administrators. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the common and collective fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The Company classifies common and collective fund investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Hedge funds: The hedge fund asset class includes investments in hedge funds that, in turn, primarily invest in a grouping of equities, fixed income instruments, currencies, derivatives and/or commodities. The fair values of investments included in the hedge funds class are determined using NAV provided by the applicable fund administrators. The NAV is based on securities listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market, or traded in the over-the-counter market, and is valued at the closing quotation posted by that exchange or trading system. Securities not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market are valued primarily through observable market information or broker quotes. The hedge fund investments generally can be sold on a quarterly or monthly basis and may employ leverage. The Company classifies hedge fund investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Group annuity contract: The group annuity contract asset class primarily invests in equities, corporate bonds and government bonds. The fair values of securities listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market, or traded in the over-the-counter market, are valued at the closing quotation posted by that exchange or trading system. Securities not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market are valued primarily through observable market information or broker quotes. The Company classifies group annuity contract investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are measured at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The amount transferred out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy during 2014 relates to certain U.S. pension plan investments in South American government bonds. During 2014, observable market information became available for these plan assets and as a result, the assets have been categorized as Level 2 within the hierarchy. The U.S. pension plan did not realize any material gains or losses related to these investments during 2014.

Contributions:

The Company’s intent is to fund at least the minimum contributions required to meet applicable federal employee benefit laws and local laws, or to directly pay benefit payments where appropriate. During 2015, $17.3 million and $0.8 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively. During 2016, the Company expects to contribute approximately $20 million in the aggregate to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments:

The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid out of the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefit plans:

In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, management regularly considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is generally dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

A valuation allowance has been provided for those deferred tax assets for which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2015, the deferred tax valuation allowance primarily represented amounts for foreign tax loss carryforwards and certain U.S. state and local tax loss carryforwards. The deferred tax valuation allowance decreased by $10.0 million and $4.6 million during 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance during 2015 was primarily due to a reduction of the Company’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of jurisdictions outside of the U.S., offset by additional valuation allowances on losses incurred in certain jurisdictions. The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance during 2014 was primarily due to foreign currency translation and the amalgamation of certain foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the Professional segment during 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has tax loss carryforwards of approximately $232.9 million, of which $219.4 million are foreign and $13.4 million are domestic (federal). The losses expire in future years as follows: 2016- $2.1 million; 2017- $8.2 million; 2018- $26.1 million; 2019 and beyond- $28.3 million; and unlimited- $168.2 million. The Company could receive the benefit of such tax loss carryforwards only to the

extent it has taxable income during the carryforward periods in the applicable tax jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, there were no consolidated federal net operating losses available from the MacAndrews & Forbes Group (as hereinafter defined) from periods prior to the March 25, 2004 deconsolidation (as described below).

The Company remains subject to examination of its income tax returns in various jurisdictions including, without limitation: Australia, Canada and Spain for tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2014; South Africa, the U.K. and the U.S. (federal) for tax years ended December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. During 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) decreases of $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in accrued interest and penalties.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $65.0 million and $62.0 million, respectively, including $10.3 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits, to the extent reduced and unutilized in future periods, would generally affect the Company’s effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the unrecognized tax benefits is provided in the following table:

In addition, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits during 2016 will decrease by approximately $1.1 million as a result of changes in various tax positions, each of which is individually insignificant.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on $52.5 million of foreign subsidiaries’ cumulative undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2015 because such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested overseas. If these future earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in a future period, additional tax provisions may be required. Due to the complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income tax provisions that may be required.

As a result of the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions (as hereinafter defined in Note 20, “Related Party Transactions - Tax Sharing Agreements”), as of March 25, 2004, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and their U.S. subsidiaries were no longer included in the affiliated group of which MacAndrews & Forbes was the common parent (the “MacAndrews & Forbes Group”) for federal income tax purposes. Revlon Holdings (as hereinafter defined in Note 20, “Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements”), Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, and MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated entered into a tax sharing agreement (as subsequently amended and restated, the “MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement”), for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992 through and including March 25, 2004, during which Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation or a subsidiary of Products Corporation was a member of the MacAndrews & Forbes Group. In these taxable periods, Revlon, Inc.’s and Products Corporation’s federal taxable income and loss were included in such group’s consolidated tax return filed by MacAndrews & Forbes

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Incorporated. Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation were also included in certain state and local tax returns of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated or its subsidiaries. Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation remain liable under the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement for all such taxable periods through and including March 25, 2004 for amounts determined to be due as a result of a redetermination arising from an audit or otherwise, equal to the taxes that Revlon, Inc. or Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if it were to have filed separate federal, state or local income tax returns for such periods.

Following the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. became the parent of a new consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and Products Corporation’s federal taxable income and loss are included in such group’s consolidated tax returns. Accordingly, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into a tax sharing agreement (the “Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement”) pursuant to which Products Corporation is required to pay to Revlon, Inc. amounts equal to the taxes that Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if Products Corporation were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, limited to the amount, and payable only at such times, as Revlon, Inc. will be required to make payments to the applicable taxing authorities.

There were no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes from Revlon, Inc. to Revlon Holdings pursuant to the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement in 2015 or 2014 with respect to periods covered by the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement, and the Company expects that there will not be any such payments in 2016. During 2015, there were no federal tax payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to 2015 or 2014. During 2014, there was $0.3 million in federal tax payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to 2014. The Company expects that there will be no federal tax payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement during 2016 with respect to 2015.

Pursuant to the asset transfer agreement referred to in Note 20, “Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements,” Products Corporation assumed all tax liabilities of Revlon Holdings other than (i) certain income tax liabilities arising prior to January 1, 1992 to the extent such liabilities exceeded the reserves on Revlon Holdings’ books as of January 1, 1992 or were not of the nature reserved for and (ii) other tax liabilities to the extent such liabilities are related to the business and assets retained by Revlon Holdings.

18.   SEGMENT DATA AND RELATED INFORMATION

Operating segments include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s “Chief Executive Officer”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company’s performance. As a result of the similarities in the procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes for the Company’s products, much of the information provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and provided in the segment table below, is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s operations are organized into the following reportable segments:

Consumer - The Consumer segment is comprised of the Company’s consumer brands, which primarily include Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice in color cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk in women’s hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants. The Company’s principal customers for its consumer products include large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, the Internet/e-commerce, television shopping, department stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, specialty cosmetics stores and perfumeries in the U.S. and internationally. The Consumer segment also includes a skincare line under the Natural Honey brand and hair color line under the Llongueras brand sold to large volume retailers and other retailers, primarily in Spain, which were acquired as part of the Colomer Acquisition.
Professional - The Professional segment is comprised primarily of the brands which the Company acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which include Revlon Professional in hair color and hair care; CND-branded products in nail polishes and nail enhancements; and American Crew in men’s grooming products, all of which are sold worldwide to professional salons. The Company’s principal customers for its professional products include hair and nail salons and distributors to professional salons in the U.S. and internationally. The Professional segment also includes a multi-cultural line consisting of Creme of Nature hair care products sold to large volume retailers, other retailers and professional salons, primarily in the U.S.
Other - The Other segment primarily includes the operating results of the CBB business and related purchase accounting for the Company’s April 2015 CBB Acquisition. CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under various celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally through department stores and selective distribution in international territories. The results included within the Other segment are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

The Company’s management evaluates segment profit, which is defined as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses, for

F-57

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

each of the Company’s reportable segments. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments’ underlying operating performance, which includes the impacts of: (i) restructuring and related charges; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; (iii) goodwill impairment charge; (iv) pension lump sum settlement charges; (v) costs of sales resulting from a fair value adjustment to inventory acquired in acquisitions; (vi) deferred compensation related to the CBB Acquisition; (vii) insurance proceeds received in 2013 related to the 2011 fire that destroyed the Company’s facility in Venezuela; and (viii) an accrual for estimated clean-up costs related to the Company’s facility in Venezuela. Such items are shown below in the table reconciling segment profit to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses related to the corporate organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses, as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company removed pension-related costs for its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans from the measurement of its operating segment results. As a result, $8.2 million and $4.9 million in pension-related costs were reclassified from the measurement of Consumer segment profit and included as a component of unallocated corporate expenses for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.

The accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The Company’s assets and liabilities are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or included in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had operations established in 22 countries outside of the U.S. and its products are sold throughout the world. Generally, net sales by geographic area are presented by attributing revenues from external customers on the basis of where the products are sold. Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 18%, 16% and 20% of the Company’s worldwide net sales in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and such sales are primarily included within the net sales of the Consumer segment.

The Company expects that Walmart and a small number of other customers will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company’s net sales. As is customary in the consumer products industry, none of the Company’s customers is under an obligation to continue purchasing products from the Company in the future.

In the tables below, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or its

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

results of operations. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.

20.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2015, 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. Revlon, Inc. in turn directly owns all 5,260 outstanding shares of Products Corporation’s common stock. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect the entire Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation and control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Revlon, Inc.’s and Products Corporation’s stockholders. MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman, Chairman of Revlon, Inc.’s and Products Corporation’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 retailers 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 2015 and $0.2 million for each of 2014 and 2013. A $0.2 million and $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, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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 the Company, and to purchase services from third party providers, such as insurance, legal, accounting and air transportation services, on behalf of the Company, 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 that MacAndrews & Forbes purchases for or provides to the Company and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that MacAndrews & Forbes incurs in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews & Forbes reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services that Products Corporation purchases for or provides to MacAndrews & Forbes and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Products

Corporation 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.

Revlon Inc., and the Company participate 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 Revlon, Inc. and 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 that 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 2015 was $(2.1) million, which primarily included partial payments made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during 2015 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 2014 was $(3.8) million, which primarily included partial payments made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during 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 $(6.1) million, which primarily included a $6.1 million partial payment made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during 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, . The receivable balances from MacAndrews & Forbes were $0.1 million at December 31, 2015 and nil December 31, 2014 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 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Other

Certain of Products Corporation’s debt obligations, including the Amended Credit Agreements and Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes, have been, and may in the future be, supported by, among other things, guarantees from all of Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain limited exceptions) and, for the Amended Credit Agreements, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. The obligations under such guarantees are secured by, among other things, all of the capital stock of Products Corporation and, its domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain limited exceptions) and 66% of the capital stock of Products Corporation’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ first-tier foreign subsidiaries. See Note 11, “Long Term Debt,” for a discussion of the terms of the Amended Credit Agreements and 5¾% Senior Notes.

During 2015 and 2014, the Company engaged several companies in which MacAndrews & Forbes had a controlling interest to provide the Company with various ordinary course business services. These services

included: (i) advertising inserts, for which the Company paid fees of approximately $0.2 million during 2015; (ii) processing approximately $32.9 million and $35.8 million of coupon redemptions for the Company’s retail customers for 2015 and 2014, respectively, for which the Company paid fees of approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million during 2015 and 2014, respectively; and (iii) other similar advertising, coupon redemption and raw material supply services, for which the Company paid fees aggregating to less than $0.1 million during 2015. The Company believes that its engagement of each of these affiliates was on arm’s length terms, taking into account each firm’s expertise in its respective field, and that the fees paid were at least as favorable as those available from unaffiliated parties.

(b)Income from continuing operations and net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 were impacted by: (i) a $20.7 million pension lump sum settlement charge related to the accounting for a one-time cash lump sum payment, which requires that a portion of pension losses within accumulated other comprehensive loss be realized in the period that related pension liabilities are settled (see Note 14, “Savings Plan, Pension and Post-retirement Benefits”); (ii) an increase in net income driven by the net reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets for certain foreign jurisdictions, which has been reflected in the provision for income taxes for 2015 (See Note 16, “Income Taxes”); (iii) a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Global Color Brands reporting unit (see Note 8, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”); and (iv) $9.5 million in restructuring charges related to the 2015 Efficiency Program (see Note 3, “Restructuring Charges”).
(c)Income from continuing operations and net income for the first quarter of 2014 were unfavorably impacted by restructuring charges of $13.5 million related to the Integration Program, as well as $3.8 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition. (See Note 2, “Business Combinations,”

and Note 3, “Restructuring Charges”). Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company incurred a $1.9 million aggregate loss on early extinguishment of debt due to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment. (See Note 11, “Long-Term Debt”).

(d)Income from continuing operations and net income for the second and third quarter of 2014 were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency losses, net, of $7.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities at June 30, 2014, and the results of unfavorable impacts of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar denominated intercompany payables during the third quarter of 2014. (See Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Foreign Currency Translation” for further discussion on Venezuela foreign currency restrictions and related devaluation).
(e)(Loss) income from discontinued operations includes the results of the Company’s former China operations (See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations”).

22.   GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries) that guarantee Products Corporation’s obligations under its Amended Credit Agreements (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the financial information as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 for (i) Products Corporation on a stand-alone basis, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis (iii) the subsidiaries of Products Corporation that do not guarantee Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a stand-alone basis; and (iv) Products Corporation, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented on the equity method, under which the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted to the applicable share of the subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Item 1. Financial Statements

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is the direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Revlon, Inc., which is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company and Revlon, Inc., “MacAndrews & Forbes”), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman. The Company’s vision is to establish Revlon as the quintessential and most innovative beauty company in the world by offering products that make consumers feel attractive and beautiful. The Company wants to inspire its consumers to express themselves boldly and confidently. The Company operates in three reporting segments: the consumer division (“Consumer”); the professional division (“Professional”); and Other. The Company manufactures, markets and sells worldwide an extensive array of beauty and personal care products, including color cosmetics, hair color, hair care and hair treatments, beauty tools, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants, fragrances, skincare and other beauty care products. The Company’s principal customers for its products in the Consumer segment include large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, the Internet/e-commerce, television shopping, department stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, specialty cosmetics stores and perfumeries in the U.S. and internationally. The Company’s principal customers for its products in the Professional segment include hair and nail salons and distributors to professional salons in the U.S. and internationally. The Other segment primarily includes the operating results of the CBBeauty Group and certain of its related entities (collectively “CBB” and such transaction, the “CBB Acquisition”). CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under a variety of celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally through department stores and selective distribution in international territories. The results included within the Other segment are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company after the elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions.

The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, trade support costs, certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, restructuring costs, certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the net periodic benefit (income) costs and the projected benefit obligations for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans, including the expected long-term return on pension plan assets and the discount rate used to value the Company’s pension benefit obligations. The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).

The Company’s results of operations and financial position for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year.

Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent within a company’s balance sheet. Under previous guidance, the Company was required to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts. Netting deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by tax jurisdiction is still required under ASU 2015-17. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the Company’s previously recorded deferred tax assets were adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-17. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 resulted in no adjustment to the Company’s results of operations and stockholder’s deficiency and had the following impact on the previously reported Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2015:

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments,” which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the financial statements as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the Company’s previously recorded other assets and long-term debt were adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 resulted in no adjustment to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and stockholder’s deficiency and had the following impact on the previously reported Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015:

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” that will explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. According to ASU No. 2014-15, substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The likelihood threshold of “probable,” similar to its current

use in U.S. GAAP for loss contingencies, will be used to define substantial doubt. Disclosures will be required under ASU No. 2014-15 if conditions give rise to substantial doubt, including whether and how management’s plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption prohibited. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-15 beginning January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including transactions in which an employee uses shares to satisfy the employer’s minimum statutory income tax withholding obligation, forfeitures and income taxes when awards vest or are settled. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 beginning on January 1, 2017 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment such as for initial direct costs. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 beginning on January 1, 2019 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

2.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Cutex International Acquisition

On May 31, 2016 (the “Cutex International Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of certain international Cutex businesses (“Cutex International”) from Coty Inc. (the “Cutex International Acquisition”), which primarily operate in Australia and the U.K., and related assets for total cash consideration of $29.1 million. Following the Company’s October 2015 acquisition of the Cutex business and related assets in the U.S. from Cutex Brands, LLC, the Cutex International Acquisition completed the Company’s global consolidation of the Cutex brand and enhances and complements the Company’s existing brand portfolio of nail care products. Cutex International’s results of operations are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements commencing on the Cutex International Acquisition Date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact of the Cutex International Acquisition on the Company’s consolidated financial results is not material.

The Company accounted for the Cutex International Acquisition as a business combination in the second quarter of 2016. The table below summarizes the allocation of the total consideration of $29.1 million paid on the Cutex International Acquisition Date:

(a)Purchased intangible assets include customer networks fair valued at $14.0 million, intellectual property fair valued at $0.9 million, which are amortized over useful lives of 15 and 10 years, respectively, and indefinite lived trade names fair valued at $4.8 million.

F-80

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

The Company reacquired the Cutex trade name, which had previously provided Coty with an exclusive right to manufacture, market and sell Cutex branded products for an initial term and perpetual automatic 20-year renewals. Based on the terms and conditions of the existing license agreements and other factors, the Cutex trade name was assigned an indefinite-life and, therefore, will not be amortized.

The fair values of the net assets acquired in the Cutex International Acquisition were based on management’s preliminary estimate of the respective fair values. The estimated fair values of net assets and resulting goodwill are subject to the Company finalizing its analysis of the fair value of Cutex International’s assets as of the Cutex International Acquisition Date and may be adjusted upon completion of such analysis. In addition, information unknown at the time of the Cutex International Acquisition Date could result in adjustments to the respective fair values and resulting goodwill within the year following the Cutex International Acquisition Date.

In determining the estimated fair values of net assets acquired and resulting goodwill related to the Cutex International Acquisition, the Company considered, among other factors, the analysis of Cutex International’s historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business, as well as market participants’ intended use of the acquired assets. Factors contributing to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include the anticipated benefits the Company expects to achieve through the expansion of its nail product portfolio. Both the intangible assets acquired and goodwill are not deductible for income tax purposes.

3.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

2015 Efficiency Program

In September 2015, the Company initiated certain restructuring actions to drive certain organizational efficiencies across the Company’s Consumer and Professional segments (the “2015 Efficiency Program”). These actions, which commenced during 2015 and are planned to occur through 2017, are expected to reduce general and administrative expenses within the Consumer and Professional segments. Of the $1.2 million of restructuring and related charges recognized in the first six months of 2016 for the 2015 Efficiency Program, $0.5 million related to the Consumer segment and $0.6 million related to the Professional segment, with the remaining charges included within unallocated corporate expenses. The Company expects to recognize total restructuring and related charges for the 2015 Efficiency Program of $11.7 million by the end of 2017, of which $6.9 million is expected to relate to the Consumer segment, $4.4 million is expected to relate to the Professional segment and the remaining charge relates to unallocated corporate expenses.

A summary of the restructuring and related charges incurred through June 30, 2016 in connection with the 2015 Efficiency Program is presented in the following table:

The Company expects that cash payments will total approximately $12 million in connection with the 2015 Efficiency Program, including $0.2 million for capital expenditures (which capital expenditures are excluded

A total of $6.2 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2016, with the remaining balance expected to be paid in 2017.

(a)Following Products Corporation’s October 2013 acquisition of The Colomer Group Participations, S.L. (“Colomer” and the “Colomer Acquisition”), the Company implemented actions to integrate Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business which reduced costs across the Company’s businesses and generated synergies and operating efficiencies within the Company’s global supply chain and consolidated offices and back office support (all such actions, together, the “Integration Program”). The Integration Program was substantially completed as of December 31, 2015.
(b)In December 2013, the Company announced restructuring actions that primarily included exiting its direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China (the “December 2013 Program”). The December 2013 Program resulted in the elimination of approximately 1,100 positions in 2014, primarily in China.

At June 30, 2016, $9.8 million of the restructuring reserve balance was included within accrued expenses and other in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2015, $11.8 million of the restructuring reserve balance was included within accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

4.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 30, 2013, the Company announced that it was implementing the December 2013 Program, which primarily included exiting its direct manufacturing, warehousing and sales business operations in mainland China.

2016 Debt Related Transaction

Amended Term Loan Facility - Excess Cash Flow Payment

On February 29, 2016, Products Corporation prepaid $23.2 million of indebtedness, representing 50% of its 2015 “excess cash flow” as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement, in accordance with the terms of its Amended Term Loan Facility. The prepayment was applied on a ratable basis between the principal amounts outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan. The amount of the prepayment that was applied to the 2011 Term Loan reduced the principal amount outstanding by $11.5 million to $651.4 million (as all amortization payments under the 2011 Term Loan had been paid). The $11.7 million that was applied to the Acquisition Term Loan reduced Products Corporation’s future annual amortization payments under the Acquisition Term Loan on a ratable basis from $6.9 million prior to the prepayment to $6.8 million after giving effect to the prepayment and through its maturity on October 8, 2019.

See Note 17, “Subsequent Events,” to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for debt-related transaction details that occurred subsequent to the second quarter of 2016.

Covenants

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan and the 2011 Term Loan were $658.6 million and $651.4 million, respectively, and availability under the $175.0 million Amended Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the calculated borrowing base less $8.3 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit and nil then drawn on the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, was $166.7 million.

Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

9.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and liabilities are required to be categorized into three levels of fair value based upon the assumptions used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Level 1: Fair valuing the asset or liability using observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Fair valuing the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
Level 3: Fair valuing the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, is based on quoted market prices for similar issues and maturities.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their respective fair values.

10.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Products Corporation maintains standby and trade letters of credit for various corporate purposes under which Products Corporation is obligated, of which $8.3 million and $8.8 million (including amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were maintained at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Included in these amounts are approximately $7.2 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, in standby letters of credit that support Products Corporation’s self-insurance programs. The estimated liability under such programs is accrued by Products Corporation.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily: (i) FX Contracts, intended for the purpose of managing foreign currency exchange risk by reducing the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s net cash flows; and (ii) interest rate hedging transactions, such as the 2013 Interest Rate Swap referred to below, intended for the purpose of managing interest rate risk associated with Products Corporation’s variable rate indebtedness.

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts

The FX Contracts are entered into primarily to hedge the anticipated net cash flows resulting from inventory purchases and intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year.

The U.S. Dollar notional amount of the FX Contracts outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $74.2 million and $76.3 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Transaction

In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction with a 1.00% floor, based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan over a period of three years (the ”2013 Interest Rate Swap“). The Company designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to the $400 million notional amount under the Acquisition Term Loan over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Products Corporation receives from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month USD LIBOR or 1.00%, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.0709% over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was deemed effective and therefore the changes in fair value related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap have been recorded in Other Comprehensive Loss. As of June 30, 2016, the balance of deferred net losses on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $4.5 million after-tax. (See “Quantitative Information – Derivative Financial Instruments” below).

The Company expects that $2.6 million of the after-tax deferred net losses related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap will be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The amount ultimately realized in earnings may differ, as LIBOR is subject to change. Realized gains and losses are ultimately determined by actual rates at maturity of the derivative.

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $1.1 million and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by

generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the Company’s counterparties to its derivative instruments, the Company believes that the risk of loss under these derivative instruments arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties is remote.

The Company expects that it will have net periodic benefit income of approximately $1 million for its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans for all of 2016, compared with net periodic benefit cost of $18.8 million in 2015.

During the second quarter of 2016, $1.4 million and $0.3 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively. During the first six months of 2016, $3.1 million and $0.5 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively. During 2016, the Company expects to contribute approximately $10 million in the aggregate to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Relevant aspects of the qualified defined benefit pension plans, nonqualified pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans sponsored by Products Corporation are disclosed in Note 14, ”Savings Plan, Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits,“ to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K.

12.   INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes represents federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate differs from the applicable federal statutory rate due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates and income in foreign jurisdictions, utilization of tax loss carryforwards, foreign earnings taxable in the U.S., non-deductible expenses and other items. The Company’s tax provision changes quarterly based on various factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, foreign, state and local income taxes, tax audit settlements and the interaction of various global tax strategies. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition, derecognition and/or remeasurement of a tax position taken in a prior period are recognized in the quarter in which any such change occurs.

For the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $11.8 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The $9.6 million decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the phasing of the recognition of income taxes.

For the first six months of 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $17.9 million and $31.0 million, respectively. The $13.1 million decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the phasing of the recognition of income taxes.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% as a result of foreign and U.S. tax effects attributable to operations outside the U.S. and foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% as a result of certain foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S.

The Company remains subject to examination of its income tax returns in various jurisdictions including, without limitation: Australia and Spain for tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2014; South Africa, the U.K. and the U.S. (federal) for tax years ended December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014; and Canada for tax years ended December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2015.

14.   SEGMENT DATA AND RELATED INFORMATION

Operating segments include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s “Chief Executive Officer”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company’s performance. As a result of the similarities in the procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes for the Company’s products, much of the information provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and provided in the segment table below, is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s operations are organized into the following reportable segments:

Consumer - The Consumer segment is comprised of the Company’s consumer brands, which primarily include Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice in color cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk in women’s hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants. The Company’s principal customers for its consumer products include large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, the Internet/e-commerce, television shopping, department stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, specialty cosmetics stores and perfumeries in the U.S. and internationally. The Consumer segment also includes a skincare line under the Natural Honey brand and a hair color line under the Llongueras brand sold to large volume retailers and other retailers, primarily in Spain, which were acquired as part of the Colomer Acquisition. In October 2015 and in May 2016, the Company acquired the U.S. Cutex business and Cutex International business and related assets, respectively. The results of operations relating to the sales of Cutex nail care products are included within the Consumer segment.
Professional - The Professional segment is comprised primarily of the brands which the Company acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which include Revlon Professional in hair color and hair care; CND-branded products in nail polishes and nail enhancements; and American Crew in men’s grooming products, all of which are sold worldwide to professional salons. The Company’s principal customers for its professional products include hair and nail salons and distributors to professional salons in the U.S. and internationally. The Professional segment also includes a multi-cultural line consisting of Creme of Nature hair care products sold to large volume retailers, other retailers and professional salons, primarily in the U.S.

F-93

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REVLON CONSUMER PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

Other - The Other segment primarily includes the operating results of the CBB business and related purchase accounting for the CBB Acquisition. CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under various celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally through department stores and selective distribution in international territories. The results included within the Other segment are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

The Company’s management evaluates segment profit, which is defined as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses, for each of the Company’s reportable segments. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments’ underlying operating performance, which includes the impacts of: (i) restructuring and related charges; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; (iii) deferred compensation related to the accounting for the CBB Acquisition; and (iv) costs of sales resulting from a fair value adjustment in the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 to inventory acquired in the Cutex International Acquisition and CBB Acquisition, respectively. Such items are shown below in the table reconciling segment profit to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses related to the corporate organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses, as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.

The accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K. The Company’s assets and liabilities are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or included in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

15.   CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or its results of operations. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.

16.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Reimbursement Agreements

As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes have entered into reimbursement agreements (the “Reimbursement Agreements”) pursuant to which: (i) MacAndrews & Forbes is obligated to provide (directly or through its affiliates) certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to the Company, and to purchase services from third party providers, such as insurance, legal, accounting and air transportation services, on behalf of the Company, 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 that MacAndrews & Forbes purchases for or provides to the Company and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that

F-96

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

MacAndrews & Forbes incurs in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews & Forbes reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services that Products Corporation purchases for or provides to MacAndrews & Forbes and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Products Corporation in connection with the purchase or provision of such services. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and MacAndrews & Forbes, 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 that 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 the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which primarily includes partial payments made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2016 and 2015 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. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, a receivable balance of nil and $0.1 million, respectively, from MacAndrews & Forbes were included in the Company’s Balance Sheets for transactions subject to the Reimbursement Agreements.

Other

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company engaged several companies in which MacAndrews & Forbes had a controlling interest to provide the Company with various ordinary course business services. These services included processing approximately $24.8 million and $16.1 million of coupon redemptions for the Company’s retail customers for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for which the Company paid fees of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and other similar advertising, coupon redemption and raw material supply services, for which the Company paid fees aggregating to less than $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company believes that its engagement of each of these affiliates was on arm’s length terms, taking into account each firm’s expertise in its respective field, and that the fees paid were at least as favorable as those available from unaffiliated parties.

17.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On June 16, 2016, the Company and Revlon, Inc. entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Revlon, Inc., RR Transaction Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”) and Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (“Elizabeth Arden”) pursuant to which, among other things, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into Elizabeth Arden (the “Merger” or the “Pending Acquisition”), with Elizabeth Arden surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company expects the Merger to close by the end of 2016, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Elizabeth Arden is a global prestige beauty products company with an extensive portfolio of iconic beauty brands that are highly complementary to the Company’s existing brand portfolio and are sold worldwide. In

F-97

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions)

North America, Elizabeth Arden’s principal customers include prestige retailers, the mass retail channel and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its branded retail outlet stores and e-commerce business. Elizabeth Arden products are also sold through the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa beauty salons and spas. Internationally, Elizabeth Arden’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands is sold to perfumeries, boutiques, department stores, travel retailers and distributors.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a debt financing commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (collectively, the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Lenders have committed to arrange and provide the Company with: (i) a seven-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.8 billion (the “New Term Loan Facilities”); (ii) a five-year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in a principal amount of $400 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”); and (iii) to the extent that the proceeds of the Unsecured Notes (as defined below) are not available to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, up to $400 million of senior unsecured bridge loans under a senior unsecured credit facility (the foregoing facilities collectively, the “Facilities”). The availability of the borrowings under the Facilities is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the consummation of the Merger.

Additionally, the Company engaged affiliates of the Lenders to act as initial purchasers and placement agents for a private placement of up to $400 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Unsecured Notes”). The proceeds of the applicable Facilities and Unsecured Notes (to the extent borrowed or issued on the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) will be used to: (x) finance the Merger; (y) pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with, among other things, the Merger and the Facilities; and (z) fund the refinancing of substantially all of the Company’s existing long-term debt and credit facilities (such transactions in clauses (x) through (z) being the “Transactions”); provided that the Company’s existing 5¾% Senior Notes due 2021 will remain outstanding.

On July 21, 2016, Revlon Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, priced an offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), the proceeds of which Products Corporation expects will be used, together with $1.8 billion of borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility and $100.0 million of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, to finance the Transactions. The amount of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to changes in working capital requirements and other adjustments. The offering of the Notes is expected to close on August 4, 2016.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that will be issued represents an increase from the $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes that Products Corporation had originally offered. The amount of cash on hand that the Company had planned to use to finance the Pending Acquisition will be reduced by the amount of additional net proceeds of the Notes, and any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

At the closing of the offering of the Notes, pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), the gross proceeds of the Notes, together with interest on the Notes, will be placed in an escrow account until the Closing Date of the Pending Acquisition. Under the Escrow Agreement, the Closing Date may be extended from time to time (subject to the Company or an affiliate funding additional interest through the extended Closing Date into the escrow account), but not later than six months after the initial issuance date of the Notes.

The net proceeds of the Notes will be released from escrow upon the satisfaction of various customary conditions precedent, including completion of the Pending Acquisition. Upon the escrow release: (1) the Escrow Issuer will be merged with and into Products Corporation, with Products Corporation as the surviving corporation, and Products Corporation will assume the Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and the related indenture, (2) Products Corporation’s current subsidiaries that guarantee its existing 5¾% Senior Notes

will guarantee the Notes and the related indenture (along with the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility); and (3) Elizabeth Arden and certain of its subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes and the related indenture (along with the New Term Loan Facility, the New Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes).

18. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries) that also guarantee Products Corporation’s obligations under its Amended Credit Agreements (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the financial information as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 for: (i) Products Corporation on a stand-alone basis; (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis; (iii) the subsidiaries of Products Corporation that do not guarantee Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a stand-alone basis; and (iv) Products Corporation, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented on the equity method, under which the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the applicable share of the subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Elizabeth Arden, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elizabeth Arden, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.   General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business Activity. Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (the “Company” or “our”) is a global prestige beauty products company that sells fragrances, skin care and cosmetic products to retailers in the United States and approximately 120 countries internationally.

Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries as well as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. See Note 12 for information on the consolidated VIEs. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity. Since fiscal 2014, the Company has identified and undertaken several initiatives to reduce the size and complexity of its overhead structure and to exit low-return businesses, customers and brands, in order to improve gross margins and profitability in the long term. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the execution of the Company’s business plans, including the general economic and retail environment. The Company’s ability to fund operations and capital expenditures in the future is dependent upon the ability to generate cash from operations, maintain or improve margins and to borrow funds available under its credit facilities. As further described in Note 9 (Short Term Debt), the Company maintains a revolving bank credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that was amended and restated in July 2016 (the “Amended Credit Facility”) and a second lien credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with its lenders.

The Amended Credit Facility has only one financial covenant, a debt service coverage ratio that applies only if the Company does not have the requisite average borrowing base capacity and borrowing availability. The debt service coverage ratio did not apply during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s debt service coverage ratio was less than 1.1 to 1.0 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Based upon its business strategies and initiatives for fiscal 2017, the Company does not anticipate that its borrowing base capacity and/or borrowing availability will fall below the applicable thresholds in its Amended Credit Facility. If the Company requires additional liquidity to fund operations, the Company believes it has the ability to postpone or reduce certain expenditures, such as capital expenditures, in a manner that the Company believes is sufficient to create the liquidity necessary to fund operations.

Deterioration in the economic and retail environment or continued challenges in the Company’s operating performance, however, could cause the Company to default under its Credit Facility if it does not have the requisite average borrowing base capacity or borrowing availability and also fails to meet the financial maintenance covenant set forth in the Amended Credit Facility. In such an event, the Company would not be allowed to borrow under these facilities and may not have access to the capital necessary to meet its operating and investing needs. In addition, a default under its Amended Credit Facility or Second Lien Credit Agreement that causes acceleration of the debt under either facility could trigger a default under the Company’s outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Notes due March 2021 (the “7 3/8% Senior Notes”). In the event the Company is not able to borrow under either credit facility, it would be required to develop an alternative source of liquidity. There is no assurance that the Company could obtain replacement financing or what the terms of such financing, if available, would be.

Investments and Variable Interest Entities. During fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company, through a subsidiary, invested an aggregate of $13.7 million for a minority investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon-Holdings, Inc., an unrelated party whose subsidiaries operate the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and the Mario Tricoci Hair Salons (“Salon Holdings”). The investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon-Holdings, Inc., which is in the form of a collateralized convertible note bearing interest at 2%, has been accounted for using the cost method and at June 30, 2016, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

During fiscal 2014 and 2015, the Company, through a subsidiary (the “EA USC Subsidiary”), invested an aggregate of $9.0 million in US Cosmeceutechs, LLC (“USC”), a skin care company that develops and sells skin care products for the professional dermatology and spa channels, and separately purchased a 30% equity interest in USC from the sole equity member for $3.6 million. The investment, which is in the form of a collateralized convertible note (the “Convertible Note”), bears interest at 1.5%. Upon conversion of the

F-115

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Convertible Note, the Company will own 85.45% of the fully diluted equity interests in USC (inclusive of EA USC’s current equity interest). The Company expects that the Convertible Note will convert into 85.45% of the fully diluted equity interests of USC by September 1, 2016. The Company has a put/call agreement with the other USC equity member with respect to the remaining 14.55% interest in USC. Based on the investment in USC and the EA USC Subsidiary’s controlling rights under the operating agreement, the Company has determined that USC is a VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, requiring consolidation of USC’s financial statements in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidation. See Note 12 for additional information on this investment and the consolidated VIE.

During fiscal 2015, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a joint venture in the United Arab Emirates (the “UAE Joint Venture”) with an unrelated third party for the sale, promotion and distribution of the Company’s products primarily in the Middle East. Based on its equity interests and controlling rights in the Middle East joint venture, the Company has determined that the UAE Joint Venture is a VIE, requiring consolidation of such joint venture’s financial statements in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidation. The unrelated third party’s interest in the UAE Joint Venture is classified as a “noncontrolling interest” in the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 12 for additional information on this investment and the consolidated VIE.

During fiscal 2016, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a joint venture with an unrelated third party for the sale, promotion and distribution of the Company’s products in Southeast Asia and, effective January 1, 2016, in Hong Kong (“the Southeast Asia Joint Venture”). Based on its equity interests and controlling rights in the Southeast Asia joint venture, the Company has determined that the Southeast Asia Joint Venture is a VIE, requiring consolidation of such joint venture’s financial statements in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidation. The unrelated third party’s interest in the joint venture is classified as a “noncontrolling interest” in the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 12 for additional information on this investment and the consolidated VIE.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include expected useful lives of brand licenses, trademarks, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, allowances for sales returns and markdowns, share-based compensation, fair value of long-lived assets, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, provisions for inventory obsolescence, and income taxes and valuation reserves. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which are recorded in the period in which they become known.

Revenue Recognition. Sales are recognized when title and the risk of loss transfers to the customer, the sale price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is probable. Sales are recorded net of estimated returns, markdowns and other allowances, which are granted to certain of the Company’s customers and are subject to the Company’s authorization and approval. The provision for sales returns and markdowns represents management’s estimate of future returns and markdowns based on historical and projected experience and considering current external factors and market conditions. During each of the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, one customer of its North America segment accounted for an aggregate of 12% of the Company’s net sales.

Foreign Currency Translation. All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates that do not utilize the U.S. dollar as their functional currency are translated at year-end rates of exchange, while sales and expenses are translated at weighted average rates of exchange. Unrealized translation gains or losses are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments through other accumulated comprehensive loss or income included in shareholders’ equity. Such adjustments resulted in net unrealized losses of $3.5 million and $13.9 million for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and net unrealized gains of $2.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the foreign subsidiaries’ statements of operations. Such amounts resulted in net losses of $3.9 million, $6.7 million and $0.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing deposits at banks with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Receivable. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts to cover uncollectible accounts receivable and evaluates its accounts receivable to determine if they will ultimately be collected. This evaluation includes significant judgments and estimates, including an analysis of receivables aging and a customer-by-customer review for large accounts. If, for example, the financial condition of the Company’s customers deteriorates resulting in an impairment of their ability to pay, additional allowances may be required, resulting in a charge to income in the period in which the determination was made.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. See Note 6.

Property and Equipment, and Depreciation. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major improvements and additions are recorded to the asset accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are charged to expense. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. When fixed assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the accounts are relieved of the original cost of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation and any resulting profit or loss is credited or charged to income. See Note 7.

Exclusive Brand Licenses, Trademarks, and Intangibles. The Company’s definite lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not being amortized. See Note 8.

Indefinite-Lived and Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather assessed for impairment at least annually. An annual impairment assessment is performed during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets may not fully be recoverable. The Company follows the guidance in Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity assesses goodwill for impairment and allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment assessment. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Should a goodwill impairment assessment be necessary, there is a two step process for assessing impairment of goodwill. The first step used to identify potential impairment compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The second step, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets to their respective carrying values. If an impairment is identified, the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to estimated fair value.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of specific triggering events. The impairment assessment is based on a comparison of the carrying value of such assets against the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If an impairment is identified, the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to estimated fair value. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, net sales of Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj fragrances fell significantly below expectations. The Company reviewed these license agreements for potential impairment. Given the significant decline in net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and the expectation for a continued decline of sales in future periods, the Company determined that these intangible assets were fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of approximately $39.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to write off the carrying values of both the Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj licenses.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company decided (i) not to renew the True Religion license agreement which expired on June 30, 2014, and (ii) not to renew the BCBGMAXAZRIA license agreement once it expires in January 2017. At the time of the acquisition of the licenses from New Wave Fragrances LLC in May 2012, the Company assumed it would exercise its renewal options for both licenses and estimated the useful lives to be approximately six years for the True Religion license and 9.5 years for the BCBGMAXAZRIA license. The

F-117

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

decision not to exercise the renewal options for both licenses triggered an impairment analysis for each license. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $5.8 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, to reduce the carrying values for both the True Religion and BCBGMAXAZRIA licenses.

The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the expected future cash flows of its reporting units and the long-term trends of its market capitalization for the purposes of assessing the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived Elizabeth Arden trademarks, other trademarks and intangible assets. There were no triggering events identified, and therefore no such adjustments were recorded for the year ended June 30, 2016. See Note 8.

Leases. The Company leases distribution equipment, office and computer equipment, and vehicles. The Company also has operating leases for office and retail space, as well as capital leases for computer equipment and software. The Company reviews all of its leases to determine whether they qualify as operating or capital leases. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or current lease term. The Company accounts for free rent periods and scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Landlord allowances and incentives are recorded as deferred rent and are amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term.

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Premium. Debt issuance costs, transaction fees and debt premium, which are associated with the issuance of the senior notes, the Amended Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Agreement (see Note 9), are being amortized and charged to interest expense, or in the case of debt premium recorded as interest income, over the term of the related notes or the term of the applicable credit facility. In any period in which the senior notes are redeemed, the unamortized debt issuance costs and transaction fees relating to the notes being redeemed are expensed and the unamortized debt premium relating to the notes being redeemed is recorded as a reduction in interest expense. See Note 10.

Cost of Sales. Included in cost of sales are the cost of products sold, the cost of gift with purchase items provided to customers, royalty costs related to patented technology or formulations, warehousing, distribution and supply chain costs. The major components of warehousing, distribution and supply chain costs include salary and related benefit costs for employees in the warehousing, distribution and supply chain functions and facility-related costs in these areas.

Selling, General and Administrative Costs. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are advertising, creative development and promotion costs not paid directly to the Company’s customers, royalty costs related to trademarks, salary and related benefit costs of the Company’s employees in the finance, human resources, information technology, legal, sales and marketing functions, facility-related costs of the Company’s administrative functions, and costs paid to consultants and third party providers for related services.

Advertising and Promotional Costs. Advertising and promotional costs that are paid directly to customers for goods and services provided (primarily co-op advertising and certain direct selling costs) are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a reduction of sales. Advertising and promotional costs that are not paid directly to the Company’s customers are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of cost of goods sold (in the case of free goods given to customers) or selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and promotional costs include promotions, direct selling, co-op advertising and media placement. Advertising and promotional costs for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities and certain other adjustments. The Company provides for deferred taxes under the liability method. Under such method, deferred taxes are adjusted for tax rate changes as they occur. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit, or, that future deductibility is uncertain. Commencing with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company began recording valuation allowances against its U.S. deferred tax assets as a non-cash charge to income tax expense. Also, commencing in fiscal 2015, for certain foreign operations, the Company began recording valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets in such foreign operations as non-cash charges to income tax expense. The valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets will prevent the Company from recording tax benefits on future losses in the affected operations unless sufficient future taxable income is generated in such operations to support the realization of the deferred tax assets. See Note 14.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company finalized an intercompany loan agreement between a foreign subsidiary, incorporated in Switzerland, and a U.S. subsidiary. Under the terms of the intercompany loan agreement, the foreign subsidiary loaned $42 million to the U.S. subsidiary. The intercompany loan is payable on or before June 30, 2020. For income tax purposes, the entire loan was included in computing taxable income in fiscal 2015 and 2016 as a foreign investment in U.S. property, but no tax provision was included as a result of the Company’s valuation allowance. The Company has accrued a net provision of $2.1 million for estimated deferred taxes on a portion of unremitted foreign earnings that may be considered for repatriation in the future. The Company has not provided for taxes on the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, as these earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested. If in the future these earnings are repatriated to the United States, or if the Company determines such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions may be required. See Note 14.

The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if it is more likely than not that such position will be sustained on audit based on its technical merits. While the Company believes that its assessments of whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained are reasonable, each assessment is subjective and requires the use of significant judgments. As a result, one or more of such assessments may be challenged by the relevant tax authorities, which could result in a change to net income if such position is not sustained.

Hedge Contracts. The Company has designated each foreign currency contract entered into as of June 30, 2016, as a cash flow hedge. Unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, associated with these contracts are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses will be recognized in earnings in the period in which the forecasted transaction affects earnings or the transactions are no longer probable of occurring. Changes to fair value of any contracts deemed to be ineffective would be recognized in earnings immediately.

Other Payables and Accrued Expenses. A summary of the Company’s other payables and accrued expenses as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, is as follows:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income includes, in addition to net income or net loss, unrealized gains and losses excluded from the consolidated statements of operations and recorded directly into a separate section of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet. These unrealized gains and losses are referred to as other comprehensive (loss) income items. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income shown on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30,

2016 and June 30, 2015, consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, which are not adjusted for income taxes as such amounts relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries, and the unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, related to the Company’s foreign currency contracts, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, currency forward contracts, short-term debt and long-term debt. The Company follows the guidance under Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. See Note 17.

Share-Based Compensation. All share-based payments to employees, including the grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values, but only to the extent that vesting is considered probable. Compensation cost for awards that vest will not be reversed if the awards expire without being exercised. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), on the date of grant. Compensation costs for awards are amortized using the straight-line method. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate impact the fair value estimate. Further, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions are based on or determined from external data and other assumptions may be derived from the Company’s historical experience with share-based arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

The Company relies on its historical experience and post-vested termination activity to provide data for estimating expected term for use in determining the fair value of its stock options. The Company currently estimates its stock volatility by considering historical stock volatility experience and other key factors. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. The Company estimates forfeitures using its historical experience, which will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Because of the significant amount of judgment used in these calculations, it is reasonably likely that circumstances may cause the estimate to change. If, for example, actual forfeitures are lower than the Company’s estimate, additional charges to net income may be required.

Out-Of-Period Adjustments. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded two out-of-period adjustments to correct errors for deferred taxes and taxes recoverable in one of our foreign affiliates. For the year ended June 30, 2014, income before income taxes decreased by $0.5 million, income tax expense decreased by $0.8 million, and net income attributable to Elizabeth Arden shareholders increased by $0.3 million. The Company did not adjust the prior periods as it concluded that such adjustments were not material to the then current or prior period consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2.   Net Loss Per Share attributable to Elizabeth Arden shareholders

Basic net loss per share attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders by the weighted average shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The calculation of net loss attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders per diluted share is similar to basic net loss per share attributable to Elizabeth Arden common shareholders except that the denominator includes potentially dilutive Common Stock, such as stock options, non-vested restricted

stock units, and warrants to purchase common stock. For the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, diluted net loss per share equals basic net loss per share as the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and vesting of restricted stock units and, in the case of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the assumed purchases under the employee stock purchase plan would have an anti-dilutive effect.

NOTE 3.   Pending Revlon Merger

On June 16, 2016, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement and plan of merger (referred to as the “Merger Agreement”) with Revlon, Inc., Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Revlon, Inc. (referred to as “RCPC”, and together with Revlon, Inc., “Revlon”) and RR Transaction Corp., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (referred to as the “Revlon Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as described below, the Revlon Sub will merge with and into the Company. As a result of the Revlon Merger, the Revlon Sub will cease to exist and the Company will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RCPC. This pending transaction is referred to as the “Revlon Merger.”

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Revlon will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock for $14.00 per share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). Upon the closing of the Revlon Merger (i) each option to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised (whether vested or unvested) immediately prior to the closing will be canceled and exchanged for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Option and (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Company Option, and (ii) each restricted share unit award under any of the Company’s stock plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the closing will become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, in each case, less any required withholding taxes and without interest. In addition, pursuant to a Preferred Stock Repurchase and Warrant Cancellation Agreement entered into by the Company, Revlon, Revlon Sub and the

F-121

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Purchasers (as such term is defined in Note 13, upon the closing of the Revlon Merger, all of the Company’s outstanding Series A Serial Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), will be redeemed (with funds to be provided to, or paid on behalf of, us by Revlon) for a cash purchase price equal to 110% of face value of the Preferred Stock (corresponding to $55.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends) and all outstanding Warrants, (as such term is defined in Note 13), owned by the Purchasers will be canceled. In addition, the existing Shareholders Agreement between the Purchasers and the Company will terminate. See Note 13.

Upon the closing of the Revlon Merger, all outstanding amounts due under the Company’s Amended Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Agreement will become payable and the holders of the 7 3/8% Senior Notes will have the right to require the repurchase of the Senior Notes.

The consummation of the Revlon Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, including (i) the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon (voting together and voting as separate classes), (ii) the receipt of certain foreign antitrust approvals and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company, (iv) the absence of a court or regulatory authority order prohibiting the closing of the Revlon Merger, and (v) other customary closing conditions, including (x) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party (subject to certain specified standards) and (y) the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. The Merger is not conditioned upon Revlon’s receipt of financing. The Company currently expects the Merger to be completed by the end of 2016.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded approximately $2.0 million in selling, general and administrative expenses for costs incurred related to the pending Revlon Merger.

NOTE 4.   2016 Business Transformation Program and Other Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company identified certain restructuring and cost savings initiatives that it expected to implement during fiscal 2016 (the “2016 Business Transformation Program”). The 2016 Business Transformation Program was intended to further align the Company’s organizational structure and distribution arrangements with the current needs and demands of its business in order to improve the Company’s go-to-market capability and execution and to streamline its organization.

The Company expects to incur approximately $25 million to $26 million in pre-tax charges under the 2016 Business Transformation Program. From inception through June 30, 2016, the Company has incurred approximately $24.3 million, of pre-tax charges under the 2016 Business Transformation Program, including $21.9 million of pre-tax charges during the year ended June 30, 2016. The remaining charges under the 2016 Business Transformation Program are expected to be incurred in fiscal year 2017. The pre-tax charges for the year ended June 30, 2016 and since inception consisted of the following:

During fiscal 2014, the Company began a comprehensive review of our entire business model and cost structure to identify initiatives to reduce the size and complexity of its overhead structure and to exit low-return businesses, customers and brands, in order to improve gross margins and profitability in the long term. As a result of this review, the Company implemented several restructuring and cost savings initiatives at the end of fiscal 2014 and during fiscal 2015 referred to as its 2014 Performance Improvement Plan. From inception through June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a total of approximately $150.5 million of pre-tax charges in connection with the 2014 Performance Improvement Plan, including $94.6 million of pre-tax charges during the

F-123

fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. No additional charges in connection with the 2014 Performance Improvement Plan were recorded subsequent to June 30, 2015 and all liabilities associated with the 2014 Performance Improvement Plan have been paid.

In August 2013, the Company separately announced that it expected to incur approximately $5 million in severance and other employee-related expenses, and related transition costs and expenses in fiscal 2014 due to the Company’s decision to eliminate certain sales and other positions across various business units that were being eliminated to derive expense savings and additional operating efficiencies (the “Fall 2013 Staff Reduction”). In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company increased its estimate of the expenses to be incurred in connection with the Fall 2013 Staff Reduction from $5 million to $6 million. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred a total of $6.0 million of severance and other employee-related expenses, and related transition costs and expenses with respect to the Fall 2013 Staff Reduction. All restructuring expenses with respect to the Fall 2013 Staff Reduction 2013 were paid as of June 30, 2014.

As described in Note 20, none of the expenses discussed above have been attributed to any of the Company’s reportable segments and are included in unallocated corporate expenses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At June 30, 2016, the Company had goodwill of $31.6 million recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. The entire amount of the goodwill in all periods presented relates to the North America segment.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, such as the Company’s Elizabeth Arden trademarks, are not amortized, but rather assessed for impairment at least annually. An annual impairment assessment is performed during the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles may not fully be recoverable. The Company follows the guidance in Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity assesses goodwill for impairment and allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment assessment. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company completed the Company’s annual impairment assessment of goodwill using the guidance under Topic 350 and the analysis indicated that no impairment adjustment was required. Similarly, no such adjustments for impairment of goodwill were recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

The Company also follows the guidance in Topic 350 for testing impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Examples of intangible assets subject to the guidance include indefinite-lived trademarks, licenses, and distribution rights. Companies are given the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. A company electing to perform a qualitative assessment is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the company determines, based on such qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired.

The Company has determined that the Elizabeth Arden trademarks have indefinite useful lives, as cash flows from the use of the trademarks are expected to be generated indefinitely. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment assessment of the Elizabeth Arden trademarks, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. In assessing the fair value of these assets, the Company considered the income approach for the Elizabeth Arden trademarks. Under the income approach, the fair value is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The analysis indicated that no impairment adjustment was required as the estimated fair value exceeded the recorded carrying value. Similarly, no such adjustments for impairment of the Elizabeth Arden trademarks were recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

During fiscal 2016, the Company acquired the U.S. and international trademarks for the Giorgio of Beverly Hills fragrance brands from The Procter & Gamble Company and certain of its affiliates for $10.5 million. Prior to the acquisition of the trademarks, the Company manufactured and sold the Giorgio Beverly Hills fragrances under a license agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company.

During fiscal 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the global license and certain related assets, including inventory, for the Christina Aguilera fragrance business from Procter & Gamble International Operations S.A. for approximately $16 million. The transaction closed in July 2016.

During fiscal 2015, net sales of Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj fragrances fell significantly below expectations. The Company reviewed these license agreements for potential impairment. Given the significant decline in net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and the expectation for a continued decline of sales in future periods, the Company determined that these intangible assets were fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of approximately $39.6 million during fiscal 2015 to write off the carrying values of both the Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj licenses.

During fiscal 2014, the Company decided (i) not to renew its True Religion license agreement which expired on June 30, 2014, and (ii) that it will not renew its BCBGMAXAZRIA license agreement once it expires in January 2017. At the time of the acquisition of the licenses from New Wave Fragrances LLC in May 2012, the Company assumed it would exercise its renewal options for both licenses and estimated the useful lives to be approximately six years for the True Religion license and 9.5 years for the BCBGMAXAZRIA license. The decision not to exercise the renewal options for both licenses triggered an impairment analysis for each license. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $5.8 million during fiscal 2014, to reduce the carrying values for both the True Religion and BCBGMAXAZRIA licenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the expected future cash flows of its reporting units and the long term trends of its market capitalization for the purposes of assessing the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived Elizabeth Arden trademarks, other trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets.

Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $11.8 million, $15.2 million and $19.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016, the Company estimated annual amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years as shown in the following table. Future acquisitions, renewals or impairment events could cause these amounts to change.

NOTE 9.   Short-Term Debt

At June 30, 2016, the Company had a $300 million revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank is the administrative agent, which generally provides for borrowings on a revolving basis, with a sub-limit of $25 million for letters of credit. On July 26, 2016, the Company entered into the Amended Credit Facility in order to permit certain of its foreign subsidiaries to make borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and to secure such borrowings with certain assets of such subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility, the Company may, at any time, increase the size of the Amended Credit Facility up to $375 million without entering into a formal amendment requiring the consent of all of the banks, subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions. The Amended Credit Facility matures in December 2019.

The Amended Credit Facility now provides for:

a Canadian senior secured revolving credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount of up to US$15 million, secured by a first perfected security interest in the accounts receivable and certain other assets of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Elizabeth Arden (Canada) Limited (“EA Canada”) and the outstanding equity interests of EA Canada;
a European senior secured revolving credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount of up to US$100 million, secured by (a) a first perfected security interest in the accounts receivable and certain other assets of the Company’s Swiss operating and United Kingdom subsidiaries, Elizabeth Arden International Sarl (“EAISA”) and Elizabeth Arden (UK) Ltd. (“EA UK”), respectively, (b) a floating charge over all assets of EA UK, (c) the inventory of EAISA located in the Netherlands and the U.S., and (d) the outstanding equity interests of EAISA, EA UK, Elizabeth Arden (Netherlands) Holding B.V. (which we call “EA Netherlands Holding”) and Elizabeth Arden (Switzerland) Holding Sarl (“EA Swiss Holding”) (subject to certain limitations as described in the Amended Credit Facility);
the ability to add the Company’s German subsidiary, Elizabeth Arden GmbH (“EA Germany”), as a borrower under the Amended Credit Facility and to include EA Germany’s accounts receivable in the applicable borrowing base for the European sub-facility referred to above, subject to a first perfected security interest in EA Germany’s accounts receivable;
guarantees of the borrowings of EA Canada by the Company, all of the Company’s material U.S. subsidiaries, and subject to local law restrictions, EA Swiss Holding, EA Netherlands Holding, EA UK, and EAISA; and
guarantees of the borrowings of EA UK and EAISA, by the Company, all of the Company’s material U.S. subsidiaries, and subject to local law restrictions, EA Swiss Holding, EA Netherlands Holding, and EA Canada.

U.S. borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility continue to be guaranteed by all of the Company’s material U.S. subsidiaries and are collateralized by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s U.S. accounts receivable and inventory. No assets of any of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries secure any U.S. borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 85% of the appraised net liquidation value of the applicable inventory, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Facility; provided, however, that from August 15 to October 31 of

each year the Company’s borrowing base may be temporarily increased by up to $25 million. The borrowing bases under the Amended Credit Facility are subject to certain reserves, including, after March 31, 2017, an aggregate reserve against the borrowing bases of EAISA, EA UK and, if added as a borrower under the Amended Credit Facility, EA Germany, in an amount of US$15 million; provided that in the event that the Company has a debt service pricing ratio under the Amended Credit Facility as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2017 equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.00, such reserve shall fall to $0.

The Amended Credit Facility continues to have only one financial maintenance covenant, which is a debt service coverage ratio that must be maintained at not less than 1.1 to 1.0 if (a) average borrowing base capacity (calculated on a rolling three-day basis) is equal to or less than ten percent (10%) of total borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Facility, or (b) the Company’s borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Facility, plus domestic cash and cash equivalents, is less than $20 million at any time. The Company’s average borrowing base capacity and borrowing availability for each of the quarters during fiscal 2016 did not fall below the applicable thresholds in the Credit Facility. Accordingly, the debt service coverage ratio did not apply during the year ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s debt service coverage ratio was less than 1.1 to 1.0 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility, the Company continues to be permitted to pay dividends or repurchase common stock if (a) it maintains a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 and maintains borrowing base capacity plus domestic cash and cash equivalents, in each case after giving effect to the applicable payment, of (i) at least $30 million from February 1 to August 31, and (ii) at least $35 million from September 1 to January 31, or (b) it maintains borrowing base capacity plus domestic cash and cash equivalents of (i) at least $40 million from February 1 to August 31, and (ii) at least $45 million from September 1 to January 31. The Amended Credit Facility continues to restrict the Company from incurring additional non-trade indebtedness (other than refinancings and certain small amounts of indebtedness).

Borrowings under the credit portion of the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on an “Applicable Margin” that is determined by reference to a debt service pricing ratio. At the Company’s option, (i) the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Canadian Deposit Offered Rate (CDOR), or (ii) the base rate or the Canadian prime rate. The Applicable Margin charged on LIBOR and CDOR loans ranges from 1.50% to 2.50% and ranges from 0% to 1.0% for base rate and Canadian loans. The Applicable Margin on the first $25 million of borrowings from August 15 to October 31 of each year, while the temporary increase in the Company’s borrowing base is in effect, is 1.0% higher. The unused commitment fee under the Amended Credit Facility rate is 0.375% per annum and is based on quarterly average utilization.

At June 30, 2016, the Applicable Margin was 2.50% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% for base rate loans. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average annual interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 2.9% and 2.7%, respectively.

During fiscal 2016, the Company entered into two amendments to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Amendments”), to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Second Lien Credit Agreement from January 2016 to October 16, 2017. On October 2, 2015 and as required by one of the Amendments, the Company borrowed $25 million in a single advance and used the proceeds to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The Second Lien Credit Agreement is collateralized by a second priority lien on all of the Company’s U.S. accounts receivable and inventories. In October 2015, the Company also entered into security agreements (the “Security Agreements”) in favor of JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the lenders under the Company’s Amended Credit Facility, granting a lien against the Company’s U.S. trademarks relating to its Curve fragrance brand and certain related assets to secure the Company’s obligations under both the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Facility (collectively, the “Curve Security Interest”). With respect to the Amended Credit Facility, the Curve Security Interest will be released upon payment in full of the Company’s obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, provided that the Company’s minimum debt service coverage ratio (as calculated pursuant to the Amended Credit Facility) as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for the preceding twelve months is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 and no default or event of default exists immediately prior to or after giving effect to the release of such Curve Security Interest.

The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides that borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on an “Applicable Margin” that is determined by reference to a debt service pricing ratio. At the Company’s option, the Applicable Margin may be applied to either the LIBOR or the base rate. As amended, the Applicable Margin charged on LIBOR loans ranges from 3.00% to 5.00% and for base rate loans ranges from 1.5% to 3.5%. At June 30, 2016, the Applicable Margin under the Second Lien Credit Agreement was 5% for LIBOR loans and 3.5% for base rate loans.

During fiscal 2016, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of bank related costs related to the Amendments, and such amounts have been capitalized and are reflected in debt financing costs, net, on the consolidated balance sheet.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had $42 million in borrowings and $3.2 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, compared with $8.3 million in borrowings and $3.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016, the Company had $25 million in borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, compared with no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016, based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory available as collateral, the aggregate borrowing availability under the Credit Facility and Second Lien Credit Agreement was $65.2 million. In periods when there are outstanding borrowings, the Company classifies the Credit Facility and Second Lien Credit Agreement as short term debt on its balance sheet because it expects to reduce outstanding borrowings over the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7 3/8% Senior Notes outstanding. Interest on the 7 3/8% Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 7.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of every year. The 7 3/8% Senior Notes rank pari passu in right of payment to indebtedness under the Amended Credit Facility and any other senior debt, and will rank senior to any future subordinated indebtedness provided, however, that the 7 3/8% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the Amended Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Agreement to the extent of the collateral securing the Amended Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The indenture applicable to the 7 3/8% Senior Notes (the “Indenture”) generally permits the Company (subject to the satisfaction of a fixed charge coverage ratio and, in certain cases, also a net income test) to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, purchase or redeem its Common Stock or redeem subordinated indebtedness. The Indenture generally limits the Company’s ability to create liens, merge or transfer or sell assets. The Indenture also provides that the holders of the 7 3/8% Senior Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase their notes in the event of a change of control involving the Company (as defined in the Indenture). The 7 3/8% Senior Notes are not currently guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries but could become guaranteed in the future by any domestic subsidiary of the Company that guarantees or incurs certain indebtedness in excess of $10 million. In addition, as part of the offering of the 7 3/8% Senior Notes, the Company incurred and capitalized approximately $6.0 million of related debt financing costs on the consolidated balance sheet, which will be amortized over the life of the 7 3/8% Senior Notes.

In connection with the Revlon Merger, five putative shareholder class action lawsuits (one of which is also a derivative lawsuit) have been filed in Broward County, Florida, naming the members of the Company’s board of directors, Revlon, Inc., RCPC and RR Transaction Corp. as defendants. Three of the lawsuits also name the Company as a defendant. Three of the lawsuits also name Rhône Capital L.L.C., Nightingale Onshore Holdings, L.P. and Nightingale Offshore Holdings, L.P. as defendants. These lawsuits allege that (i) the members of the Company’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders with respect to the Revlon Merger, by, among other things, approving the Revlon Merger pursuant to an unfair process and at an inadequate and unfair price, and (ii) Revlon, RCPC, and Revlon Sub aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by the members of the board. Three of the lawsuits also allege that Rhône Capital L.L.C., Nightingale Onshore Holdings, L.P. and Nightingale Offshore Holdings, L.P. breached alleged fiduciary duties owed by such entities to the holders of the Company’s common stock and to the Company. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits generally seek, among other things, injunctive relief prohibiting consummation of the Revlon Merger, compensatory damages and rescissory damages in the event the Revlon Merger is consummated, an order to disclose all material information to the shareholders in advance of a shareholder vote and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses.

For information relating to the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) audit of the Company’s tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the IRS letter 950-Z and the Company’s response thereto, see Note 14.

The Company is also a party to a number of other legal actions, proceedings, audits, tax audits, claims and disputes, arising in the ordinary course of business, including those with current and former customers over amounts owed. While any other action, proceeding, audit or claim contains an element of uncertainty and may materially affect the Company’s cash flows and results of operations in a particular quarter or year, based on current facts and circumstances, the Company’s management believes that the outcome of such other actions, proceedings, audits, tax audits, claims and disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

NOTE 12.   Investments and Noncontrolling Interests

During fiscal 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company, through a subsidiary, has invested an aggregate of $13.7 million for a minority investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon-Holdings, Inc., an unrelated party whose subsidiaries operate the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and the Mario Tricoci Hair Salons (“Salon Holdings”). The investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon-Holdings, Inc., which is in the form of a collateralized convertible note bearing interest at 2%, has been accounted for using the cost method and at June 30, 2016, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

During fiscal 2014 and 2015, the Company, through a subsidiary (the “EA USC Subsidiary”), has invested an aggregate of $9.0 million in USC, a skin care company that develops and sells skin care products for the professional dermatology and spa channels and separately purchased a 30% equity interest in USC from the sole equity member for $3.6 million. The investment, which is in the form of the Convertible Note, bears interest at 1.5%. Upon conversion of the Convertible Note, the Company will own 85.45% of the fully diluted equity interests in USC (inclusive of EA USC’s current equity interest). The Company expects that the Convertible Note will convert into 85.45% of the fully diluted equity interests of USC by September 1, 2016. The Company has a put/call agreement with the other USC equity member with respect to the remaining 14.55% interest in USC.

Based on the investment in USC and the EA USC Subsidiary’s controlling rights under the operating agreement, the Company has determined that USC is a VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, requiring consolidation of USC’s financial statements in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidation.

During fiscal 2015, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a joint venture in the United Arab Emirates (the “UAE Joint Venture”) with an unrelated third party for the sale, promotion and distribution of the Company’s products primarily in the Middle East. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company’s subsidiary has the option to purchase a 15% ownership interest from the third party after 15 years at a specified price based on the performance of the UAE Joint Venture and also has the option to purchase the entire ownership interest of the third party upon the termination or expiration of the joint venture agreement at a specified price based on the performance of the UAE Joint Venture. Based on the capitalization of the UAE Joint Venture, the Company’s subsidiary has a 60% ownership interest and the third party has a 40% ownership interest and the Company’s subsidiary has control of the board of managers.

Based on such equity interests and controlling rights in the Middle East joint venture, the Company has determined that the UAE Joint Venture is a VIE, requiring consolidation of such joint ventures’ financial statements in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidation. The unrelated third party’s interest in the UAE Joint Venture is classified as a “noncontrolling interest” in the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

During fiscal 2016, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a joint venture with an unrelated third party for the sale, promotion and distribution of the Company’s products in Southeast Asia and, effective January 1, 2016, in Hong Kong (the“Southeast Asia Joint Venture”). Based on the capitalization of the Southeast Asia Joint Venture, the Company’s subsidiary has a 60% ownership interest and the third party has a 40% ownership interest. Under the terms of the Southeast Asia Joint Venture agreement, the Company’s subsidiary has the option to purchase the entire ownership interest of the third party upon the termination or expiration of the Southeast Asia Joint Venture agreement at a specified price based on the performance of the Southeast Asia Joint Venture.

Based on the terms of the Southeast Asia Joint Venture agreements, the Company’s subsidiary has control of the board of managers and the power to direct activities that could have a substantial impact on the economic performance of the Southeast Asia Joint Venture, including those that could result in the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the joint venture. Based on such equity interests and controlling rights in the Southeast Asia joint venture, the Company has determined that the Southeast Asia Joint Venture is a VIE, requiring consolidation of such joint venture’s financial statements in accordance with Topic 810, Consolidation. The unrelated third party’s interest in the joint venture is classified as a “noncontrolling interest” in the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 13.   Redeemable Preferred Stock and Warrants

On August 19, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Nightingale Onshore Holdings L.P. and Nightingale Offshore Holdings L.P. (each a “Purchaser” and together, the “Purchasers”), investment funds affiliated with Rhône Capital L.L.C. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for aggregate cash consideration of $50 million, the Company issued to the Purchasers an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Serial Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), with detachable warrants to purchase up to 2,452,267 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Concurrently with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Shareholders Agreement with the Purchasers (the “Shareholders Agreement”). The issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrants were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. See Note 3.

Series A Serial Preferred Stock

Dividends on the Preferred Stock are due on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2014. The Preferred Stock will also participate in dividends declared or paid, whether in cash, securities or other property, on the shares of Common Stock for which the outstanding Warrants are exercisable. Dividends are payable at the per annum dividend rate of 5% of the liquidation preference, which is initially $1,000 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”). If and to the extent that the Company does not pay the entire dividend to which holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled for a particular period in cash on the applicable dividend payment date, preferential cash dividends will accrue on such unpaid amounts (and on any unpaid dividends in respect thereof) at 5% per annum, and will compound on each dividend payment date, until paid. No cash dividend may be declared or paid on Common Stock or other classes of stock over which the Preferred Stock has preference unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in cash on the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $50 million, and ranks junior to all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations to creditors with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Company and senior to all other classes of stock over which the Preferred Stock has preference, including the Common Stock. The Preferred Stock will not be convertible into Common Stock at any time.

Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, each quarter the Company will declare and pay in cash no less than fifty percent (50%) of each dividend to which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled under the articles of amendment designating the rights of the Preferred Stock (the “Articles of Amendment”), unless payment of such dividend in cash (i) is prohibited by or would result in a default or event of default under the Company’s indenture, credit facilities and certain other debt documents or (ii) would result in a breach of the legal or fiduciary obligations of the Board, in which case the Company will declare and pay in cash the maximum amount permitted to be paid in cash.

The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at 100% of the Liquidation Preference plus an amount per share equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock up to the date of redemption, at any time after August 19, 2022. The Preferred Stock is also redeemable at the option of the Company at the following redemption prices and times:

Percentage of Liquidation Preference of each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed *
Timing of Redemption Right
103%
On or after August 19, 2016 but prior to August 19, 2019

On or after August 19, 2021
*In each case, plus an amount per share equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Preferred Stock up to, but excluding, the earlier of the date of the redemption or the date of constructive redemption.

In the event of a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Amendment) at a price per share of Common Stock below $24.00, the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to require the Company to repurchase each share of Preferred Stock held by such holder for cash at the following prices and times (provided that doing so does not cause a default or event of default under the Company’s indenture, credit facilities and certain other debt documents and there are sufficient funds legally available therefor):

So long as the Purchasers (or their affiliates) beneficially own a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of such outstanding shares, voting separately as a class, will have the right (the “Designation Rights”) to elect the following number of directors to the Board of the Company at any meeting of shareholders of the Company (or by written consent) at which directors are to be elected, designated or appointed: (i) if the Percentage Interest (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) as of the record date for such meeting (or action by written consent) is equal to or more than the percentage of Common Stock represented by the shares underlying the Warrants as of the date of issuance (approximately 7.6%) but less than 20%, one member of the Board; or (ii) if the Percentage Interest as of the record date for such meeting (or action by written consent) is equal to or greater than 20%, two members of the Board. As of June 30, 2016, the Purchasers’ Percentage Interest was approximately 20.2%.

Except as required by law or otherwise provided in the Articles of Amendment, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote together as one class with holders of the Company’s Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders. Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to a number of votes (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which the outstanding Warrants are exercisable (regardless of whether or not such Warrants could legally be exercised at such time and regardless of whether the holder of the Preferred Stock is also the holder of Warrants) divided by (ii) the number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, determined as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to vote on any such matter.

Warrants

The exercise price for the Warrants is $20.39 per share (the “Warrant Price”), and they mature on August 19, 2024. The Warrant Price may be paid, at the option of the holder, in cash or by surrendering to the Company shares of Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends equal to the aggregate exercise price. Alternatively, subject to certain exceptions in the case of a Mandatory Exercise (as defined below), if the market price (as determined pursuant to the Warrant) (the “Market Price”) of the Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price, the holder may elect to surrender the Warrant and receive shares of Common Stock in respect of the Warrant equal to the value, as determined pursuant to the Warrant, of the Warrant, subject to certain restrictions. See Note 3.

After August 19, 2019, the Company may require the exercise of the Warrants if the volume weighted average sale price for the Common Stock, as determined pursuant to the Warrant, exceeds 150% of the exercise price for ten (10) consecutive trading days (a “Mandatory Exercise”). Payment of the exercise price in the case of a Mandatory Exercise is required to be made first by surrender of shares of Preferred Stock held by the Warrant holder.

The exercise price of the Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment, as provided in the Warrants, including if the Company, on or after August 19, 2017, issues or sells Common Stock for a price lower than the Market Price of the Common Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants.

Shareholders Agreement

Under the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, from and after the date the Purchasers are no longer entitled, in their capacity as holders of Preferred Stock, to elect directors to the Board pursuant to their Designation Rights, the Purchasers will have the right to jointly designate for election one member to the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as the Purchasers’ Percentage Interest (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) is equal to or more than the percentage of Common Stock represented by the shares underlying the Warrants as of the date of issuance (approximately 7.6%) but less than 20%, and the right to designate for election an additional member to the Company’s Board if the Purchasers have an aggregate Percentage Interest equal to or exceeding 20% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. See Note 3.

The Shareholders Agreement also imposes restrictions under certain circumstances on the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) amend the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, (ii) prior to August 19, 2017, issue or sell any Common Stock at a price per share less than the Warrant Price, and (iii) make certain

restricted payments under the Indenture relating to the Company’s Senior Notes. In addition, the Purchasers are entitled to preemptive rights under certain circumstances, as well as customary demand and “piggyback” registration rights relating to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants.

Financial Statement Presentation

Upon issuance, the Preferred Stock has been classified as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheet. Based on its terms, the Preferred Stock is considered contingently redeemable. The accounting guidance under Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. The Warrants have been classified as equity on the balance sheet.

Under Topic 480, if preferred shares are issued in conjunction with other securities, such as warrants, and the other securities meet the requirements for equity classification, the sales proceeds from the issuance should be allocated to each security based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the Preferred Stock was based on the present value of the dividends expected to be paid at the 5% annual rate over the next eight years until August 19, 2022, the first date that the preferred stock may be redeemed at the option of the holder at par, as well as the payment of the redemption amount of $50 million and any unpaid dividends due on August 19, 2022. In determining the fair value of the Warrants, given the possibility that the Warrants may be exercised at the Company’s discretion under certain circumstances after August 19, 2019, as discussed above, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model using the assumptions below:

 
Assumptions
Expected dividend yield
0.00%
Expected price volatility
43.20%
Risk-free interest rate
2.40%
Expected term in years
10

Based on the guidance under Topic 480, the initial value of the Preferred Stock and Warrants recorded on the consolidated balance sheet equaled the sales proceeds received from the issuance of the Preferred Stock, net of any direct issuance costs. The Company incurred approximately $6 million of costs directly associated with this transaction. The net proceeds of approximately $44 million were allocated to the Preferred Stock and Warrants as follows:

Under current accounting guidance, because the Preferred Stock is not redeemable currently, but because it is probable it will become redeemable, the Preferred Stock should be adjusted to its maximum redemption amount at each balance sheet date. In addition, the Company had the option to choose to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value of the Preferred Stock over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the security, or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value of the Preferred Stock immediately and adjust the carrying value of the Preferred Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period (this method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the Preferred Stock). The Company selected the second option and recognized the accretion immediately and recorded the full accretion in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

The total income tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2014 in the above table includes an out-of-period adjustment of $0.8 million to correct errors related to deferred taxes. For the year ended June 30, 2014, income before income taxes decreased by $0.5 million, income tax expense decreased by $0.8 million, and net income attributable to Elizabeth Arden shareholders increased by $0.3 million as a result of the out-of-period adjustments. The Company did not adjust the prior periods as it concluded that such adjustments were not material to the current or prior period consolidated financial statements.

On December 19, 2014, the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 (H.R. 5771) was signed into law extending certain expiring provisions, including the Section 41 research credit. The new legislation applies retrospectively to January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and resulted in a net tax benefit of approximately $160,000 for fiscal year 2014, which was recorded on a discrete basis in fiscal 2015. This tax benefit was fully offset by a U.S. valuation allowance.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes plus operating loss carryforwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

The accounting guidance for income taxes requires that the future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not (more than 50% likely) to be realized, Company management assesses all available positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods and the feasibility of ongoing tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable.

Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company has recorded valuation allowances against its U.S. deferred tax assets as a non-cash charge to income tax expense. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $89.5 million against its U.S. deferred tax assets and during the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded additional valuation allowances of $14.6 million and $51.9 million, respectively, against such deferred tax assets. The Company had a U.S. cumulative taxable loss for the three-year period ended June 30, 2016, the three-year period ended June 30, 2015 and the three-year period ended June 30, 2014, which is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable and thus, the accounting guidance restricts the amount of reliance the Company can place on projected taxable income to support the recovery of the deferred tax assets. In addition to the cumulative three-year taxable loss, the Company considered the weaker than anticipated fiscal 2014 results, along with the impact that the Company’s announced 2014 Performance Improvement Plan had on its fiscal 2014 results, and was anticipated to have on fiscal 2015 earnings, as well as the impact of the 2016 Business Transformation Program on its fiscal 2016 earnings. In recording the valuation allowance, deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite-lived assets generally cannot be and were not used as a source of taxable income to realize deferred tax assets with a definitive loss carryforward period.

Commencing in fiscal 2015, for certain of its foreign operations including Canada, Australia and Switzerland, the Company recorded valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets as non-cash charges to income tax expense. This decision was based on the projected three-year cumulative taxable loss in each of these jurisdictions for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, as well as the Company’s consideration of the weight of positive and negative evidence. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded a valuation allowances $3.9 million and $6.9 million against its deferred tax assets in such foreign operations.

Recording the valuation allowances does not restrict the Company’s ability to utilize the future net operating losses associated with the deferred tax assets assuming taxable income of the appropriate character is recognized in the applicable jurisdiction in periods prior to the expiration of the Company’s net operating losses. Recording the valuation allowances for the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not impact the Company’s cash flow for a number of years; however, it did have a direct negative impact on net income and shareholders’ equity for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes deferred tax assets, before valuation allowance, of $100.4 million from net operating losses, comprised of $72.7 million and $20.1 million of U.S. federal and state net operating losses, respectively, and $7.6 million of foreign net operating losses.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had U. S. federal operating loss carryforwards of $314.7 million that will begin to expire on June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2016, Company had state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $356.0 million that will begin to expire as follows: approximately $39.5 million at June 30, 2017, approximately $5.8 million at June 30, 2018, approximately $96.2 million during the period from 2019 to 2022, and approximately $214.5 million in 2023 and thereafter. An equivalent amount of federal and state taxable income would need to be generated in order to fully realize the U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets before their expiration. In contrast to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, many U.S. states do not allow the carryback of a net operating loss in any significant amount or have suspended the utilization of net operating losses for a specific period of time. As a result, in these states the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are significantly higher than the federal net operating loss carryforward. To the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient state taxable income within the statutory carryforward periods to utilize the loss carryforwards in these states, the loss carryforwards will expire unused. The state and local net operating loss carryforwards have an effective tax rate of approximately 4.4%.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s deferred tax assets, before valuation allowance, also included the following U.S. tax attributes with definitive lives as follows: foreign tax credits of $6.8 million that begin to expire in fiscal year 2017, federal research and development tax credits of $4.1 million that begin to expire in fiscal year 2021, and state research and development tax credits, net of federal tax benefit, of $0.8 million that begin to expire in fiscal year 2018. In addition, the Company had U.S. deferred tax assets with indefinite lives of $0.4 million related to alternative minimum tax credits, and $0.4 million related to state research and development tax credits as of June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $36.6 million that will begin to expire in fiscal year 2017. The Company’s ability to use foreign net operating loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income prior to their expiration. As a result, an equivalent amount of foreign taxable income would need to be generated in order to fully realize the foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Due to the uncertainty of achieving sufficient taxable income in certain jurisdictions, and the near-term expiration of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards, as of June 30, 2016, the Company has recorded valuation allowances of (i) $4.0 million against its Canada deferred tax assets, (ii) $1.7 million against its Australia deferred tax assets, (iii) $3.8 million against its Swiss deferred tax assets and (iv) $2.1 million against its Brazil deferred tax assets.

During fiscal 2015, the Company repatriated $12.4 million of undistributed foreign earnings from three of its foreign subsidiaries, including a $2.1 million liquidating dividend resulting from the closure of its Puerto Rico affiliate, and has provided a net tax provision of $0.3 million on the repatriation of such earnings. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company finalized an intercompany loan agreement between a foreign subsidiary, incorporated in Switzerland, and a U.S. subsidiary. Under the terms of the intercompany loan agreement, the foreign subsidiary loaned $42 million to the U.S. subsidiary. The intercompany loan is payable on or before June 30, 2020. For income tax purposes, the entire loan was included in computing taxable income in fiscals 2015 and 2016 as a foreign investment in U.S. property, but no tax provision was included as a result of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the Company’s valuation allowance. The Company has accrued a net provision of $2.1 million for estimated deferred taxes on a portion of unremitted foreign earnings that may be considered for repatriation in the future. Except for the foregoing, the Company has not provided for taxes on approximately $263 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, as these earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested. If in the future these earnings are repatriated to the United States, or if the Company determines such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions may be required. Due to complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income tax provisions that may be required.

Deferred tax assets, before valuation allowance, relating to tax benefits of employee stock option awards have been reduced to reflect stock option exercises through the year ended June 30, 2016. Some exercises resulted in tax deductions in excess of previously recorded benefits based on the option value at the time of grant (“windfalls”). Although the additional tax benefit for the windfalls is reflected in net operating loss carryforwards, the additional tax benefit associated with the windfalls is not recognized for financial statement purposes until the deduction reduces taxes payable. Accordingly, windfall gross tax benefits of $32.5 million are not reflected in deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets will be recognized with an offset to additional paid-in capital as the windfall reduces current taxes payable under the current guidance.

At June 30, 2016, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $24.0 million. These unrecognized tax benefits could favorably affect the effective tax rate in a future period, if and to the extent recognized. The Company does not expect changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to have a significant impact on its results of operations over the next 12 months.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file income tax returns with federal, state and local tax authorities within the United States. The year ended June 30, 2010, and subsequent fiscal years remain subject to examination for various state tax jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the year ended June 30, 2010 and subsequent fiscal years. The Company also files tax returns for its international affiliates in various foreign jurisdictions. The year ended June 30, 2011, and subsequent fiscal years remain subject to examination for various foreign jurisdictions.

The IRS began an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”), June 30, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”), and June 30, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”) during fiscal year 2014 and, in March 2016, issued an IRS letter 950-Z, known as a 30-day Letter, for Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012 relating to transfer pricing matters. In the 30-day Letter, the IRS proposes increases to the Company’s U.S. taxable income for Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012 in an amount totaling approximately $99 million. Although the Company has recorded valuation allowances of approximately $156 million against its U.S. deferred tax assets through June 30, 2016, the resolution of the 30-day Letter could be material to the Company’s deferred tax assets and potentially to its consolidated statements of operations in the period in which it is resolved, unless resolved favorably to the Company. The Company disagrees with the proposed adjustments and intends to vigorously contest them and pursue its available remedies. While any IRS examination contains an

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

element of uncertainty, based on current facts and circumstances, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of any protest, appeals or judicial process will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business or prospects. In addition, if the examination is not resolved favorably, the Company has approximately $315 million of U.S. federal operating loss carryforwards through June 30, 2016, which would be available to offset any cash flow impact. It is reasonably possible that over the next twelve-month period the Company may experience an increase or decrease in its unrecognized tax benefits, but it is not possible to determine either the magnitude or range of any increase or decrease at this time.

The IRS began an examination of the Company’s U.S. federal tax returns for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 during fiscal year 2011 and, in May 2013 issued an IRS Letter 950 (which we refer to as the “Prior 30-day Letter”) for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 relating to transfer pricing matters. In the Prior 30-day Letter, the IRS proposed adjustments that would have increased the Company’s U.S. taxable income for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 by approximately $29.1 million. The Company disagreed with the proposed adjustments and pursued the appeals process to contest the proposed adjustments. During fiscal 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the IRS whereby taxable income for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 was increased by approximately $4.1 million in the aggregate, which resulted in income tax expense of approximately $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. The settlement did not impact the Company’s cash flows as the adjustment was offset by the utilization of operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state purposes.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and related penalties in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. For fiscal 2016, there were no interest or penalties recorded due to the Company having sufficient net operating losses to offset any unrecognized tax benefits that were recorded.

NOTE 15.   Repurchases of Common Stock

The Company has an existing stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company’s Board has authorized the repurchase of $120 million of common stock and that expires on November 30, 2016. There have been no share repurchases since December 2013. Since inception in November 2005, the Company has repurchased 4,517,309 shares of common stock on the open market under the stock repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $85.3 million, leaving approximately $34.7 million available for additional repurchases under the program. The acquisition of these shares was accounted for under the treasury method.

NOTE 16.   Stock Plans

At June 30, 2016, the Company had two active stock incentive plans for the benefit of eligible employees and non-employee directors, the 2010 Stock Award and Incentive Plan and the 2014 Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan. In addition, as of June 30, 2016, stock options previously granted under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Director Plan”) were still outstanding, and restricted stock units previously granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan were still outstanding. The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2004 Director Plan have expired by their terms and no further awards will be granted under any of these two plans. All four plans were adopted by the Board and approved by the Company’s shareholders.

The 2010 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), as amended in 2015, authorizes the Company to grant awards with respect to a total of 5,350,000 shares of Common Stock, of which a maximum of 2,675,000 shares may be awarded as full value awards. A full value award is any award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right, which is settled by the issuance of shares. The stock options awarded under the 2010 Plan are exercisable at any time or in any installments as determined by the compensation committee of the Board at the time of grant and may be either incentive or non-qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code, as determined by the compensation committee. The exercise price for stock option grants cannot be lower than the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. No option may be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant. At June 30, 2016, 3,259,887 shares of Common Stock remained available for grant under the 2010 Plan, of which 1,583,027 shares can be issued as full value awards.

The 2014 Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan (the “2014 Director Plan”) authorizes the Company to grant equity awards for up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company’s non-employee directors. Any stock options awarded under the 2014 Director Plan are exercisable at any time or in any installments as determined by the compensation committee of the Board at the time of grant. The exercise price for stock option grants cannot be lower than the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. No option may be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant. At June 30, 2016, 229,970 shares of Common Stock remained available for grant under the 2014 Director Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan.   The Company’s 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2011 ESPP”) was approved by the Board in August 2011. The 2011 ESPP was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2011 annual shareholders meeting in November 2011, and became effective on December 1, 2011. The 2011 ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock under which employees in certain countries are permitted to deposit after tax funds from their wages for purposes of purchasing Common Stock at a 15% discount from the lowest of the closing price of the Common Stock at either the start of the contribution period or the end of the contribution period. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company indefinitely suspended offerings under the ESPP following the May 30, 2014 purchase. At June 30, 2016, 819,881 shares of Common Stock remained available for purchase under the 2011 ESPP.

For the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, total share-based compensation expense charged against income for all stock plans was as follows:

Stock Options

Year Ended June 30, 2016.   In August 2015 the Company granted to employees stock options to purchase 487,100 shares of Common Stock. The stock options are due to vest in equal thirds over a three-year period on dates that are two business days after the Company’s financial results for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are publicly announced, but, subject to certain exceptions, only if the person receiving the grant is still employed by the Company at the time of vesting.

Restricted Stock Units

Year Ended June 30, 2016.   In August 2015 the Company granted to employees 392,800 service-based restricted stock units. The service-based restricted stock units will vest in equal thirds over a three-year period on a date that is two business days after the Company’s financial results for each of the years ending June 30, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are publicly announced, but subject to certain exceptions, only if the person receiving the grant is still employed by the Company at the time of vesting. Also, in August 2015 the Company granted certain employees a special retention award of 101,800 service-based restricted stock units. This special award of service-based restricted stock units will vest in full on the date that is two business days after the Company’s financial results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, are publicly announced, but, subject to certain exceptions, only if the person receiving the grant is still employed by the Company at the time of vesting. The fair value of all the service-based restricted stock units granted, including those granted as a special award, was $9.63 per share, equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. All the service-based restricted stock units, including those granted as a special award, are recorded as additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity as amortization occurs over the three-year vesting period.

In August 2015 the Company also granted 49,209 performance-based restricted stock units to the chief executive officer. The vesting of these performance-based restricted stock units is subject to both performance and service criteria. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units granted was $9.63 per share, equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In December 2015, the Company granted an additional 54,391 performance-based restricted stock units to the chief executive officer. Although this grant was approved in August 2015, the issuance of the performance-based stock units was subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2015 annual shareholders meeting held on December 2, 2015 of a proposal to amend the 2010 Plan to increase the number of shares to be made available under the 2010 Plan. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units granted on December 2, 2015 was $10.52 per share, equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The actual number of performance-based restricted stock units eligible for vesting for both the August 2015 and December 2015 grants is to be determined based on the Company’s achievement of specified financial targets for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 and can range from 25% to 200% of the target award. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that are determined to be eligible to vest based on the Company’s achievement of such performance criteria will then vest in three equal installments on the date that is two business days after the Company’s financial results for each of the years ending June 30, 2016, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018 are publicly announced, subject to the continued employment of the chief executive through the applicable vesting date (subject to certain exceptions). Based on the Company’s financial performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, a total of 75,628 shares issued under both grants were determined to be eligible for vesting.

NOTE 17.   Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards also have established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 -Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 -Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly
Level 3 -Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions

At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 7 3/8% Senior Notes was as follows:

(Amounts in thousands)
June 30,
2016
June 30,
2015
7 3/8% Senior Notes due March 2021 (Level 2)
$
356,125
 
$
284,375
 

The Company determined the estimated fair value amounts by using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, primarily due to the illiquid nature of the capital markets in which the 7 3/8% Senior Notes are traded. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are currently composed of foreign currency contracts. Fair values are based on market prices or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and 2015:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

See Note 18 for a discussion of the Company’s foreign currency contracts.

Accounting standards require non-financial assets and liabilities to be recognized at fair value subsequent to initial recognition when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. In prior fiscal years, the Company recorded asset impairment charges to write-off the carrying values of the Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and BCBGMAXAZRIA licenses. As of June 30, 2016, other than the carrying values of these licenses, the Company did not have any non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NOTE 18.   Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company operates in several foreign countries, which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s risk management policy is to enter into cash flow hedges to reduce a portion of the exposure of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ revenues to fluctuations in currency rates using foreign currency forward contracts. The Company also enters into cash flow hedges for a portion of its forecasted inventory purchases to reduce the exposure of its Canadian and Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales to such fluctuations, as well as cash flow hedges for a portion of its subsidiaries’ forecasted Swiss franc operating costs. The principal currencies hedged are British pounds, Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Swiss francs. The Company does not enter into derivative financial contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value determined using pricing models based on market prices or determined using valuation models that use as their basis readily observable market data that is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including independent pricing services, brokers and market transactions. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted revenues are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts are used to hedge forecasted revenues generally over approximately 12 to 24 months. Changes to fair value of the foreign currency contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity to the extent such contracts are effective, and are recognized in net sales in the period in which the forecasted transaction affects earnings or the transactions are no longer probable of occurring. Changes to fair value of any contracts deemed to be ineffective would be recognized in earnings immediately. There were no amounts recorded in fiscal 2016, 2015, or 2014 relating to foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted revenues resulting from hedge ineffectiveness.

Foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted cost of sales or operating costs are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts are used to hedge the forecasted cost of sales of the Company’s Canadian and Australian subsidiaries or forecasted operating costs of the Company’s Swiss subsidiaries generally over approximately 12 to 24 months. Changes to fair value of the foreign currency contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within shareholders’ equity, to the extent such contracts are effective, and are recognized in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which the forecasted transaction affects earnings or the transactions are no longer probable of occurring. Changes to fair value of any contracts deemed to be ineffective would be recognized in earnings immediately. There were no amounts recorded in fiscal 2016, 2015, or 2014 relating to foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted cost of sales or operating costs resulting from hedge ineffectiveness.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had open foreign currency contracts that expire between July 31, 2016 and May 31, 2017, with notional amounts of (i) 16.1 million Euros and 3.2 million British pounds used to hedge forecasted foreign subsidiary revenues, (ii) 24.8 million Canadian dollars and 21.6 million Australian dollars used to hedge forecasted cost of sales, and (iii) 13.2 million Swiss francs used to hedge forecasted operating costs.

When appropriate, the Company also enters into and settles foreign currency contracts for Euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars to reduce exposure of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. These contracts are used to hedge balance sheet exposure generally over one month and are settled before the end of the month in which they are entered into. Changes to fair value of the forward contracts are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense in the period in which the contracts expire. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a credit of $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses related to these

contracts. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $1.9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses related to these contracts. As of June 30, 2016, there were no such foreign currency contracts outstanding.

NOTE 19.   New Accounting Standards

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update 2016-9, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The updated standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new

F-148

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively depending on the particular topic of change, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2016-2, Leases, which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The updated standard will require entities that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the updated standard will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Under current accounting, deferred taxes for each jurisdiction are presented as a net current asset or liability and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis generally based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate. The updated standard simplifies the presentation and requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The updated guidance does not change the existing requirement that prohibits companies from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only pertains to a change in the balance sheet presentation of deferred taxes.

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Replacing the concept of market with the single measurement of net realizable value is intended to create efficiencies for preparers of financial statements. The updated standard defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires all debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the updated standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The guidance in the updated standard is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs. The updated standard does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs, and the amortization of such costs will continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

expense. The new guidance will require the Company to reclassify debt financing costs, currently recorded as assets, as a direct deduction from the carrying value of debt. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only pertains to a change in the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs.

Revenue From Contracts With Customers

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a converged standard, Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. The new standard will require companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued a proposal to amend certain aspects of the new revenue standard, specifically the guidance on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The amendments clarify the guidance on determining if the promises in a contract are “distinct” goods or services and therefore, should be accounted for separately. The FASB’s amendments also (1) clarify that entities are not required to identify promised goods or services that are immaterial in the context of the contract, and (2) allow entities to elect to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service.

Subsequently in July 2015, based on the comments received, discussions with various stakeholders, and potential forthcoming amendments to the new revenue standard, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. The FASB also decided that companies could choose to adopt the new standard one year earlier which would have been the original effective date. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 21.   Segment Data and Related Information

Reportable operating segments, as defined by Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the “Chief Executive”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. As a result of the similarities in the procurement, marketing and distribution processes for all of the Company’s products, much of the information provided in the consolidated financial statements is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Chief Executive.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s operations are organized into the following two operating segments, which also comprise the Company’s reportable segments:

North America - The North America segment sells the Company’s portfolio of owned, licensed and distributed brands, including the Elizabeth Arden products, to prestige retailers, mass retailers and distributors in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, and also includes the Company’s direct to consumer business, which is composed of the Elizabeth Arden branded retail outlet stores and the Company’s e-commerce business in North America. This segment also sells Elizabeth Arden products through the Red Door Spa beauty salons and spas which are owned and operated by a third party licensee in which the Company has a minority investment.
International - The International segment sells a portfolio of owned and licensed brands, including Elizabeth Arden products, to perfumeries, boutiques, department stores, travel retail outlets and distributors in approximately 120 countries outside of North America.

The Chief Executive evaluates segment profit based upon operating income, which represents earnings before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization charges. The accounting policies for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1- “General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The assets and liabilities of the Company are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the consolidated financial statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s operating segments is produced for the Chief Executive or included herein.

Segment net sales and profit (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, exclude returns and markdowns related to the 2014 Performance Improvement Plan. In addition, segment profit (loss) excludes depreciation and amortization, interest expense, debt extinguishment charges, and consolidation and elimination adjustments and unallocated corporate costs and expenses, which are shown in the table reconciling segment profit (loss) to consolidated (loss) income before income taxes. Included in unallocated corporate costs and expenses are (i) restructuring charges that are related to an announced plan, (ii) restructuring costs for corporate operations, (iii) costs and expenses related to the 2014 Performance Improvement Plan and the 2016 Business Transformation Program, including returns and markdowns, and (iv) costs related to the pending Revlon Merger. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. The Company does not have any intersegment sales.

The following table is a comparative summary of the Company’s net sales and segment profit (loss) by operating segment for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

ITEM 20.INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Liability of Directors of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation

Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Article Sixth of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation”) provides that no director of Products Corporation shall be personally liable to Products Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Products Corporation or its stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL; or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers of Products Corporation

Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (i) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In actions or suits brought by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person in fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any such action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she is entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. A corporation may pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL are not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities asserted against any former or current, director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in such capacity, and incurred or arising out of such persons’ status as such, whether or not the power to indemnify is provided by the statute.

Article Tenth of the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Products Corporation provides for indemnification of the officers and directors of Products Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and allows

Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any officer or director made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for another corporation or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the extent that the court in which the action was brought or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application, that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement and expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 723 of the NYBCL provides that an officer or director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character set forth in Section 722 is entitled to indemnification as permitted in such section. Section 724 of the NYBCL permits a court to award the indemnification required by Section 722.

Section 721 of the NYBCL provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article 7 of the NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer by a provision contained in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or by a duly authorized resolution of its shareholders or directors or by agreement, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that such director or officer personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

Section 402(b) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of its directors to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such capacity, except (i) liability of a director if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director establishes that the director’s acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled or that his acts violated Section 719 of the NYBCL or (ii) liability of any director for any act or omission prior to the adoption of a provision authorized by Section 402(b) of the NYBCL.

The New York Guarantors are also each authorized under its By-Laws and the NYBCL to advance expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding to a director or officer upon receipt of an undertaking by him to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.

Section 726 of the NYBCL permits, and the By-Laws of the New York Guarantors authorize, the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (1) the corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the Sections of the NYBCL outlined above, (2) directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the corporation under such Sections, and (3) directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the corporation under such Sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York State superintendent of insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.

The California Guarantor

Creative Nail Design, Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of California.

Section 317(b) of the CCC provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by

II-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.

Section 317(c) of the CCC provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith, in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.

Section 317(e) of the CCC provides that, except to the extent a director or officer has been successful on the merits in defense of a proceeding under subsections (b) and (c), any indemnification shall be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case, to the extent the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subdivisions (b) or (c) or as otherwise set forth in the CCC.

Article Fifth of the Articles of Incorporation of Creative Nail Design, Inc. provides that the corporation may indemnify any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation for breach of duty to the corporation and its shareholders through bylaw provisions or through agreements with the directors or officers, or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the CCC, subject to the limits on such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the CCC.

The By-Laws of Creative Nail Design, Inc. require the corporation to indemnify a director or officer of the corporation who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be, in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

The By-Laws of Creative Nail Design, Inc. also require the corporation to indemnify a director or officer who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be, in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.

The By-Laws of Creative Nail Design, Inc. provide that indemnification be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the By-Laws. Such determination shall be made: (i) if by the Board of Directors a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders (with the shares owned by the person to be indemnified not being entitled to vote thereon). To the extent a director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 317(i) of the CCC provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director of officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the director or officer in that capacity or arising out of the director’s or officer’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the director or officer against that liability under this section.

Such indemnification is authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification with regard to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is to be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been found liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Elizabeth Arden, Inc.'s Second Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that the Company may indemnify all persons who are officers or directors of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation in the position of a director, officer, trustee, partner, agent or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent authorized under the FBCA. Similarly, the Operating Agreement of Roux Properties Jacksonville, LLC indemnifies the agents, directors, employees, managers, officers and representatives of the company to the fullest extent authorized under the FRLLCA.

Section 8.75 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983 (the “ILBCA”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding: (i) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection

with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. To the extent that such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any such action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she is entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

Section 8.75(f) of the ILBCA further provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted under Section 8.75 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

The By-Laws of Art & Science, Ltd. contain provisions that provide for indemnification of its officers and directors in accordance with the ILBCA. Art & Science, Ltd. is also authorized under the ILBCA and its By-Laws to advance expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case, upon a receipt of an undertaking by him or her to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified as provided in the ILBCA and the By-Laws of Art & Science, Ltd.

In addition, Section 8.75(g) of the ILBCA permits, and the By-Laws of Art & Science, Ltd. authorize, Art & Science, Ltd. to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of Section 8.75 of the ILBCA or the By-Laws of Art & Science, Ltd.

ITEM 22.UNDERTAKINGS.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i.Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii.Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii.The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv.Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

II-17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
