Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. We have included our Management Report over Internal Control over Financial Reporting in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” and is incorporated in this Item 9A by reference. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the fourth fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. PART III Item 10.

Coty’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Coty’s management evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the evaluation, management has concluded that Coty maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020. The Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which appears herein. /s/ Peter Harf /s/ Pierre-André Terisse Peter Harf Pierre-André Terisse Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer August 27, 2020 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Coty Inc. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Coty Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements, and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020 of the Company and our report dated August 27, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York August 27, 2020 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Coty Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coty Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 27, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets – Goodwill for the Americas Reporting Unit and Impairment of Europe, Middle East and Africa “EMEA” Reporting Unit’s Goodwill and certain Trademarks – Refer to Notes 2 and 12 to the financial statement s Critical Audit Matter Description The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its’ carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flow model and the market approach, when applicable. The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to expected revenue growth rates, expected profit margins, and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. Management assesses goodwill at least annually as of May 1 for impairment, or more frequently, if certain events or circumstances warrant. The goodwill balance was $3,973.9 million as of June 30, 2020, of which $1,343.5 million and $1,781.6 million was allocated to the Americas and EMEA reporting units (the “reporting units”), respectively. During fiscal 2020, the Company recognized goodwill impairment charges of $105.0 million related to the EMEA reporting unit, as the fair value of this reporting unit was lower than its’ carrying value. In addition, the fair value of the Americas reporting unit exceeded its’ carrying value by approximately 2.4%. The Company has trademarks that are indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s evaluation of the trademarks for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each trademark to its’ carrying value. Management estimates the fair value of these trademarks annually on its elected assessment date of May 1, or more frequently if certain events occur, based upon the income approach, using the relief from royalty methodology, which is a specific discounted cash flow method. The determination of the fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the trademarks’ estimated cash flows, royalty rates and discount rates, especially those related to the CoverGirl, Max Factor and Sally Hansen trademarks (the “trademarks”). Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the trademarks, the amount of any impairment charge, or both. As of June 30, 2020, the carrying value of the trademarks was $995.5 million, of which $327.4 million, $169.7 million and $161.3 million related to the CoverGirl, Max Factor and Sally Hansen trademarks, respectively. During fiscal 2020, the Company recognized trademark impairment charges of $329.0 million (mainly related to CoverGirl and Max Factor), as the fair values of the trademarks were lower than their carrying values. In addition, the fair value of the Sally Hansen trademark exceeded its’ carrying value by approximately 0.6%. Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair values of the reporting units and the difference between the reporting units fair value and carrying value, performing auditing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s judgments regarding the business and valuation assumptions utilized in the valuation model, particularly the expected revenue growth rates and expected profit margins, and the selection of the discount rate, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists. In addition, given the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair values of the trademarks, the impairment charges recorded during the year for the trademarks, and the difference between fair value and carrying value for the Sally Hansen trademark, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of such estimates and assumptions, particularly the trademarks’ estimated cash flows, and the selection of the royalty and discount rates, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the expected revenue growth rates and expected profit margins for the reporting units, estimated cash flows for the trademarks, the selection of the royalty rates for the trademarks, and the selection of the discount rates for the reporting units and the trademarks included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over goodwill, and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including those over the expected revenue growth rates and expected profit margins for the reporting units, estimated cash flows for the trademarks and the selection of the respective discount and royalty rates. • We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual results in previous years to management’s historical forecasts and by comparing the May and June 2020 forecasts with actual results for those months, for the reporting units and the trademarks, respectively. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s expected revenues growth rates and profit margins for the reporting units and estimated cash flows for the trademarks, by comparing management’s forecasts with: ◦ Historical cash flows and trends; ◦ Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors; and ◦ Forecasted information included in Company press releases, as well as analyst and industry reports of the Company and selected companies in its peer group. • We considered the impact of industry and market conditions on management’s forecasts for the reporting units and the trademarks, including consideration of the effects related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. • We evaluated the impact of changes in management’s forecasts from the May 1, 2020 annual measurement date to June 30, 2020. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the valuation approaches and discount rates for the reporting units and the trademarks, and royalty rates for the trademarks, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the respective discount rates and royalty rates selected by management. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York August 27, 2020 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1995.

F-8 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Coty”) manufacture, market, sell and distribute branded beauty products, including fragrances, color cosmetics, hair care products and skin & body related products throughout the world. Coty is a global beauty company with a rich entrepreneurial history and an iconic portfolio of brands. The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with a year-end of June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “fiscal 2020” refer to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the term “includes” and “including” means, unless the context otherwise indicates, including without limitation. The Company’s sales generally increase during the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand associated with the winter holiday season. Financial performance, working capital requirements, sales, cash flows and borrowings generally experience variability during the three to six months preceding the holiday season. Product innovations, new product launches and the size and timing of orders from the Company’s customers may also result in variability. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) changed the reporting structure used to allocate resources amongst its regional commercial business units, and accordingly, the Company recast its segment results. See Note 5—Segment Reporting for information on the Company’s segments. On June 1, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with KKR, regarding a strategic transaction for the sale of Coty’s Professional and retail hair business, including the Wella, Clairol, OPI and ghd brands, together, the “Wella Business”, valuing the businesses at $ 4,300.0 on a cash- and debt-free basis. KKR will own 60 % of this separately managed entity and Coty will own the remaining 40 %. As a result of the above mentioned agreement, the Company’s financial statements present the Wella Business to be sold as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities as held for sale. Additionally, the Company recast its segment results due to the discontinued operations presentation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation for amounts related to segment reporting (see Note 5); assets and liabilities held for sale; and discontinued operations (see Note 3). The Company also consolidates majority-owned entities in the United States of America, United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and South Korea where the Company has the ability to exercise controlling influence. Ownership interests of noncontrolling parties are presented as mandatorily redeemable financial interests, noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests, as applicable. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the market value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, and income taxes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. F-9 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents funds that are not readily available for general purpose cash needs due to contractual limitations. Restricted cash is classified as a current or long-term asset based on the timing and nature of when or how the cash is expected to be used or when the restrictions are expected to lapse. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company had restricted cash of $ 43.7 and $ 40.0 , respectively, included in Restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2020 primarily provides collateral for certain bank guarantees on rent, customs and duty accounts and also consists of collections on factored receivables that remain unremitted to the factor as of June 30, 2020. Restricted cash is included as a component of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and cash discounts, which is based on the evaluation of the accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, and historical trends. The Company reviews its allowances by assessing factors such as an individual trade receivable aging and customers’ liquidity. Trade receivables are written off on a case-by-case basis, net of any amounts that may be collected. Inventories Inventories include items which are considered salable or usable in future periods, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being based on standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs include direct materials, direct labor and overhead (e.g., indirect labor, rent and utilities, depreciation, purchasing, receiving, inspection and quality control) and in-bound freight costs. The Company classifies inventories into various categories based upon their stage in the product life cycle, future marketing sales plans and the disposition process. The Company also records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents the excess of the cost of the inventory over its net realizable value, based on various product sales projections. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, and requirements to support forecasted sales. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. Property and Equipment and Other Long-lived Assets Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. The cost of renewals and betterments is capitalized and depreciated. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment that is disposed of through sale, trade-in, donation, or scrapping is written off, and any gain or loss on the transaction, net of costs to dispose, is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Description Estimated Useful Lives Buildings 20 - 40 years Marketing furniture and fixtures 3 - 5 years Machinery and equipment 2 - 15 years Computer equipment and software 2 - 5 years Property and equipment under finance leases and leasehold improvements Lesser of lease term or economic life Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Description Estimated Useful Lives License agreements 2 - 34 years Customer relationships 2 - 28 years Trademarks 2 - 30 years Product formulations and technology 2 - 28 years Long-lived assets, including tangible and intangible assets with finite lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. The Company estimates fair value based on the best information available, including discounted cash flows and/or the use of third-party valuations. 10 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the fair value of their underlying net assets. Goodwill is allocated and evaluated at the reporting unit level, which are the Company’s operating segments. The Company allocates goodwill to one or more reporting units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the business combination. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually as of May 1 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as the basis to determine if it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. In performing its qualitative assessment, the Company considers the extent to which unfavorable events or circumstances identified, such as changes in economic conditions, industry and market conditions or company specific events, could affect the comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Quantitative impairment testing for goodwill is based upon the fair value of a reporting unit as compared to its carrying value. The Company makes certain judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to determine carrying values for its reporting units. To determine fair value of the reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of the income and market approaches, when applicable. Under the income approach, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow method, projecting future cash flows of each reporting unit, as well as a terminal value, and discounting such cash flows at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows. Under the market approach, when applicable, information from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting units is utilized to create valuation multiples that are applied to the operating performance of the reporting units being tested, to value the reporting unit. The impairment loss recognized would be the difference between a reporting unit’s carrying value and fair value in an amount not to exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Indefinite-lived other intangible assets principally consist of trademarks. The fair values of indefinite-lived other intangible assets are estimated and compared to their respective carrying values. The trademarks’ fair values are based upon the income approach, utilizing the relief from royalty or excess earnings methodology. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying value. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 , Leases (Topic 842), which requires lease assets and liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this ASU and its related amendments as of July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Under this approach, prior periods were not restated. Rather, lease balances and other disclosures for prior periods were provided in the notes to the financial statements as previously reported, and the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance was recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $ 0.7 . The new leasing standard includes several optional practical expedients available that entities may elect to apply upon transition. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows a lessee to carry forward its population of existing leases, the classification of each lease, as well as the treatment of initial direct costs as of the period of adoption. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient related to lease and non-lease components, as an accounting policy election for all asset classes, which allows a lessee to not separate non-lease from lease components and instead account for consideration paid in a contract as a single lease component. Lastly, the Company did not elect the practical expedient related to hindsight analysis which allows a lessee to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the entity’s right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The Company has made a policy election to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases with an initial term of twelve months or less on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the Company will recognize these lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The Company has chosen to apply this accounting policy across all classes of underlying assets. Additionally, upon adoption, the Company utilized a discount rate to determine the present value of the lease payments based on information available as of July 1, 2019. 11 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) On July 1, 2019, the Company recognized a lease liability of $ 617.8 and a corresponding ROU asset of $ 551.3 , including the reclassification of approximately $ 66.4 of unamortized lease incentives and lease loss liabilities, upon the adoption of this standard, with minimal impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred Financing Fees The Company capitalizes costs related to the issuanc e of debt instruments, as applicable. Such costs are amortized over the contractual term of the related debt instrument in Interest expense, net using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Interests held by third parties in consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries are presented as noncontrolling interests, which represents the noncontrolling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests that are not redeemable are reported in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests, where the Company may be required to repurchase the noncontrolling interest under a put option or other contractual redemption requirement, are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets between liabilities and equity, as redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interests to the higher of the redemption value or the carrying value (the acquisition date fair value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income (loss) and dividends) on each balance sheet date with changes recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Revenue Recognition On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all related amendments (the “New Revenue Standard”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of July 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018 are presented under the New Revenue Standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. For periods after July 1, 2018, revenue is recognized at a point in time and/or over time when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which usually occurs upon delivery. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company’s revenue contracts principally represent a performance obligation to sell its beauty products to trade customers and are satisfied when control of promised goods and services is transferred to the customers. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns (estimated based on an analysis of historical experience and position in product life cycle) and various trade spending activities. Trade spending activities represent variable consideration promised to the customer and primarily relate to advertising, product promotions and demonstrations, some of which involve cooperative relationships with customers. The costs of trade spend activities are estimated considering all reasonably available information, including contract terms with the customer, the Company’s historical experience and its current expectations of the scope of the activities, and is reflected in the transaction price when sales are recorded. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of its customers and the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. The Company’s sales return accrual reflects seasonal fluctuations, including those related to revenues for the holiday season in the first half of the fiscal year. This accrual is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net revenues, and is calculated based on history of actual returns, estimated future returns and information provided by retailers regarding their inventory levels. In addition, as necessary, specific accruals may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that the Company has considered, and will continue to consider, include the financial condition of our customers, store closings by retailers, changes in the retail environment, and our decision to continue to support new and existing brands. Returns represented 3 %, 2 % and 2 % of gross revenue after customer discounts and allowances in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Trade spending activities recorded as a reduction to gross revenue after customer discounts and allowances represented 11 %, 9 %, and 10 % in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 12 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company accounts for certain customer store fixtures as other assets. Such fixtures are amortized using the straight-line method over the period of 3 to 5 years as a reduction of revenue. For the presentation of the Company’s revenues disaggregated by segment and product category see Note 5—Segment Reporting. 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 costs represent the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes royalty expense associated with license agreements. Additionally, shipping costs, freight-in and depreciation and amortization expenses related to manufacturing equipment and facilities are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are share-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, manufacturing fixed costs, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees. Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $ 1,343.7 , $ 1,595.5 and $ 1,836.5 in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in advertising and promotional costs are $ 127.9 , $ 120.4 , and $ 113.0 of depreciation of marketing furniture and fixtures, such as product displays, in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $ 93.4 , $ 98.5 and $ 108.1 in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-Based Compensation Common Stock Common shares are available to be awarded for the exercise of phantom units, vested stock options, the settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and the conversion of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Share-based compensation expense is measured and fixed at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the assumptions discussed in Note 24—Share-Based Compensation Plans. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the date of grant based on the Company’s stock price. Preferred Stock The Company has issued Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock that can be converted into Class A Common Stock or settled in cash. Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock are accounted for using liability plan accounting to the extent the award is expected to be settled in cash. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense for the portion that is liability accounted is measured based on the fair value of the award on each reporting date and recognized as an expense to the extent earned. Share-based compensation expense for the portion of the grants that the Company is not required to settle in cash is measured based on the estimated fair value of the award at the time it is known that they are going to be settled in shares and is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock is determined using the binomial valuation model and the weighted-average assumptions discussed in Note 24—Share-Based Compensation Plans. Treasury Stock The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method. When shares are reissued or retired from treasury stock they are accounted for at an average price. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of Additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference is recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are treasury stock gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in Additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of Retained earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. 13 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Therefore, income tax expense is based on reported (Loss) income before income taxes, and deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on currently available evidence. The Company considers how to recognize, measure, present and disclose in financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company is subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the likely outcomes of such audits in order to determine the appropriateness of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”). The Company classifies interest and penalties related to UTBs as a component of the provision for income taxes. For UTBs, the Company first determines whether it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more-likely-than-not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority. As the determination of liabilities related to UTBs and associated interest and penalties requires significant estimates to be made by the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and thus the eventual outcomes could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial condition and cash flows. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act changing the U.S. to a modified territorial tax system, the Company no longer asserts that any of its undistributed foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. We do not expect to incur significant withholding or state taxes on future distributions. To the extent there remains a basis difference between the financial reporting and tax basis of an investment in a foreign subsidiary after the repatriation of the previously taxed income of $ 4,600.0 , the Company is permanently reinvested. The Tax Act requires a U.S. shareholder of a foreign corporation to include in income its global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). In general, GILTI is described as the excess of a U.S. shareholder’s total net foreign income over a deemed return on tangible assets. As a result of recently released Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, an entity may choose to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or an entity can elect to treat GILTI as a period cost and include it in the tax expense of the year it is incurred. As such, the Company has elected to treat the tax on GILTI as a tax expense in the year it is incurred rather than recognizing deferred taxes. Restructuring Costs Charges incurred in connection with plans to restructure and integrate acquired businesses or in connection with cost-reduction initiatives that are initiated from time to time are included in Restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations if such costs are directly associated with an exit or disposal activity, a reorganization, or with integrating an acquired business. These costs can include employee separations, contract and lease terminations, and other direct exit costs. Employee severance and other termination benefits are primarily determined based on established benefit arrangements, local statutory requirements or historical practices. The Company recognizes these benefits when payment is probable and estimable. Additional elements of severance and termination benefits associated with non-recurring benefits are recognized ratably over each employee’s required future service period. Costs for real estate consolidation are recognized based on the type of cost, and the expected future use of the facility. For locations where the Company does not expect to sub-lease the property, the amortization of any right-of-use asset is accelerated from the decision date to the cease use date. For locations where the Company expects to sub-lease the properties subsequent to its vacating the property, the right-of-use asset is reviewed for potential impairment at the earlier of the cease use date or the date a sub-lease is signed. To determine the amount of impairment, the fair value of the right-of-use asset is determined based on the present value of the estimated net cash flows related to the property. Contractual costs outside of the right-of-use asset are recognized based on the net present value of expected future cash outflows for which the Company will not receive any benefit. Such amounts are reliant on estimates of future sub-lease income to be received and future contractual costs to be incurred. Other business realignment costs represent the incremental cost directly related to the restructuring activities which can include accelerated depreciation, professional or consulting fees and other internal costs including compensation related costs for dedicated internal resources. Other business realignment costs are generally recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 14 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Charges for accelerated depreciation are recognized on long-lived assets that will be taken out of service before the end of their normal service life, in which case depreciation estimates are revised to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life. All other costs are recognized as incurred. Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that purchase price, including the fair value of contingent consideration, of the acquisition be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. The Company remeasures the fair value of contingent consideration at each reporting period using a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow method based on significant inputs not observable in the market and any change in the fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date, is recorded in earnings. Contingent consideration payments that exceed the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration are reflected as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Payments made for contingent consideration recorded as part of an acquisition’s purchase price are reflected as financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, if paid more than three months after the acquisition date. If paid within three months of the acquisition date, these payments are reflected as investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company generally uses the following methodologies for valuing our significant acquired intangibles assets: • Trademarks (indefinite or finite) - The Company uses a relief from royalty method to value trademarks. The key assumptions for the model are forecasted net revenue, the royalty rate, the effective tax rate and the discount rate. • Customer relationships and license agreements - The Company uses an excess earnings method to value customer relationships and license agreements. The key assumptions for the model are forecasted net revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), the estimated allocation of earnings between different classes of assets, the attrition rate, the effective tax rate and the discount rate. Fair Value Measurements The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The Company evaluates these inputs and recognizes transfers between levels, if any, at the end of each reporting period. The hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 - Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Valuation based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly; Level 3 - Valuation based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and supported by little or no observable market activity. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any financial instruments or other assets not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Refer to Note 20—Derivative Instruments for the Company’s policies for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Foreign Currency Exchange gains or losses incurred on non-financing foreign exchange currency transactions conducted by one of the Company’s operations in a currency other than the operation’s functional currency are reflected in Cost of sales or operating expenses. Net losses of $ 18.0 , $ 2.7 and $ 5.2 in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively resulting from non-financing foreign exchange currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period presented. Translation gains or losses are reported as cumulative adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/(L)”). Net (losses)/gains of $( 14.8 ), $ 7.6 and $ 8.5 in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, resulting from financing foreign exchange currency transactions are included in Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 15 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which provided guidance for improvements to accounting for hedging activities under ASC 815. The amendments better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes , which permitted the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The Company adopted the standard concurrently with the adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lease assets and liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet. On July 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842 , as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. For information regarding the impact of Topic 842 adoption, see Significant Accounting Policies - Leases above and Note 16 - Leases. See Note 16 for further information related to Leases. Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standard Update(s) Topic Effective Period Summary 2018-13 Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The FASB issued authoritative guidance that modifies the disclosure requirements by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. Adoption of this guidance will impact disclosures only and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 2018-14 Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The FASB issued authoritative guidance that modifies the disclosure requirements by removing, modifying and clarifying disclosures related to defined benefit plans. Adoption of this guidance will impact disclosures only and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 2016-13 2018-19 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The FASB issued authoritative guidance, which requires that a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at an amortized cost basis be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This approach to estimating credit losses applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including but not limited to, trade and other receivables. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 2019-12 Income Taxes Fiscal 2022 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves the consistency in the application of GAAP for areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendment will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. 16 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On June 1, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with KKR Bidco, regarding a strategic transaction for the sale of Coty’s Professional and Retail Hair business, including the Wella, Clairol, OPI and ghd brands (together, the “Wella Business”), valuing the businesses at $ 4,300.0 on a cash- and debt-free basis. KKR will own 60 % of this separately managed business and Coty will own the remaining 40 %. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of fiscal 2021. On June 1, 2020, the Company and KKR Bidco also entered into a Separation Agreement, which sets forth the terms and conditions on which the Wella Business will be separated from the Company. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the Wella transaction are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the Wella Business assets and liabilities which will be included in the sale are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Professional business historically comprised the Professional Beauty reportable segment and the Retail Hair business was historically included in the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific reportable segments. The following table has selected financial information included in Net income from discontinued operations for the Wella Business. Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2018 Net revenues $ 2,020.1 $ 2,360.6 $ 2,556.1 Cost of sales 689.7 808.0 889.7 Gross profit 1,330.4 1,552.6 1,666.4 Selling, general and administrative expenses 1,009.2 1,096.0 1,211.0 Amortization expense 95.5 106.8 108.5 Restructuring costs 7.5 10.0 38.3 Asset impairment charges — 122.9 — Operating income 218.2 216.9 308.6 Interest expense, net (a) 49.7 50.6 64.4 Other (income) expense, net ( 0.9 ) ( 1.0 ) 2.2 Income from discontinued operations before income taxes 169.4 167.3 242.0 Income tax on discontinued operations 82.2 46.3 7.5 Net income from discontinued operations $ 87.2 $ 121.0 $ 234.5 (a) Interest expense was allocated to the discontinued operations due to a requirement in our Credit Agreement that cash generated from the divestiture of any businesses during the next nine months will be utilized to reduce our debt, other than a maximum of $ 500.0 that will be used to fund operations. The following is selected financial information included in cash flows from discontinued operations for the Wella Business held for sale: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2018 NON-CASH OPERATING ITEMS Depreciation and amortization $ 131.8 $ 157.5 $ 161.5 Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges — 123.0 — CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital Expenditures $ 24.7 $ 44.1 $ 68.8 The major components of assets and liabilities of the Wella Business held for sale are provided below. The assets and liabilities held for sale will evolve up to the closing date for normal operational changes as well as contractual adjustments 17 including the finalization of local implementation agreements impacting the separation of the Wella Business in various countries. Year Ended June 30, 2020 (a) 2019 ASSETS Trade receivables $ 168.0 $ 302.3 Inventories 269.2 293.2 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 134.9 177.7 Property and equipment, net 241.3 268.0 (b) Goodwill 874.8 907.1 (b) Other intangible assets, net 2,770.4 2,891.0 (b) Operating lease right of use asset 73.4 — (b) Deferred income taxes 25.5 82.3 (b) Other noncurrent assets 55.6 47.1 (b) Total current assets held for sale 4,613.1 773.2 Total noncurrent assets held for sale — 4,195.5 TOTAL ASSETS HELD FOR SALE $ 4,613.1 $ 4,968.7 LIABILITIES Accounts payable $ 128.3 $ 149.2 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 236.4 295.3 Current operating lease liabilities 17.2 — Income and other taxes payable 15.8 12.0 Long-term operating lease liabilities 65.9 — Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities 324.8 347.6 (b) Pension and other post-employment benefits 140.8 145.8 (b) Other noncurrent liabilities 27.5 29.3 (b) Total current liabilities held for sale 956.7 456.5 Total noncurrent liabilities held for sale — 522.7 TOTAL LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE $ 956.7 $ 979.2 (a) The Company expects that the transaction will close in the first half of fiscal 2021. As such, for the period ended June 30, 2020, all assets and liabilities held for sale are reported as current assets and liabilities held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (b) Amounts as of June 30, 2019, are reflected as part of the noncurrent assets and liabilities held for sale. 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES King Kylie Transaction On November 18, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with King Kylie, LLC ("King Kylie"), a Delaware limited liability company, and the other parties listed as signatories to the Purchase Agreement (the “Seller Group Parties”), to build and further expand King Kylie’s brands globally. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on January 6, 2020, the Company acquired 51 % of the equity interests in King Kylie from the applicable Seller Group Parties for a base purchase price of $ 600.0 in cash. In addition, as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement, pursuant to which, in exchange for a marketing fee and a license fee, it received the right and license to manufacture, advertise, promote, distribute and sell certain products of King Kylie and use certain intellectual property owned by or licensed to King Kylie in connection with the development, manufacture, labelling, packaging, advertising, display, distribution and sale of such products. 18 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest as of the date of acquisition based on information currently available. The preliminary fair values are substantially complete, with the exception of primarily accrued expenses and goodwill. As the Company finalizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, if any, in the period in which the adjustments are recognized. The following table summarizes the estimated allocation of the purchase price to the net assets as of the January 6, 2020 acquisition date: Estimated fair value (a) Measurement period adjustments (b) Estimated fair value as adjusted Estimated useful life (in years) Cash and cash equivalents $ 7.8 $ — $ 7.8 Receivables 2.2 ( 1.2 ) 1.0 Inventories 2.5 — 2.5 Property, plant and equipment 3.6 — 3.6 Collaboration agreement 369.0 — 369.0 20 License agreement 280.0 — 280.0 20 Customer relationships 27.0 — 27.0 1.5 Goodwill 127.4 1.2 128.6 Indefinite Net other liabilities ( 6.6 ) — ( 6.6 ) Total value $ 812.9 $ — $ 812.9 Noncontrolling interest 212.9 212.9 Total purchase price $ 600.0 $ 600.0 (a) As previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020. (b) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 to certain working capital accounts as a result of obtaining new facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies resulting from integrating King Kylie’s products into the Company’s existing manufacturing and sales channels. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was estimated using the income approach applied to the projected cash flows of King Kylie. As King Kylie is a private company, the fair value measurement was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus, represent a Level 3 measurement. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, net revenues and net loss of King Kylie included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations were $ 52.0 and $ 11.7 , respectively. Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by the amortization of certain asset values based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets as determined during the initial purchase accounting, such as the amortization of finite-lived intangibles. This amortization impacted the net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 by $ 24.4 . Burberry Beauty Business Acquisition On October 2, 2017, the Company acquired the exclusive global license rights and other related assets for the Burberry Limited (“Burberry”) prestige fragrances, cosmetics and skincare business (the “Burberry Beauty Business”). The Burberry Beauty Business acquisition further strengthens the Company’s position in the global prestige beauty industry. Total purchase consideration, after post-closing adjustments, was £ 191.7 , the equivalent of $ 256.3 , at the time of closing. Included in the purchase price was cash consideration of £ 183.3 , the equivalent of $ 245.1 , at the time of closing, in addition to £ 8.4 , the equivalent of $ 11.2 , of estimated contingent consideration, at the time of closing. From the date of acquisition through the end of fiscal 2020, the Company made all contingent payments and has no further contractual obligation to make future payments. 19 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company has finalized the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Burberry Beauty Business acquisition. The Company recognized certain measurement period adjustments as disclosed below during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The measurement period for the Burberry Beauty Business acquisition closed on October 1, 2018. The following table summarizes the estimated allocation of the purchase price to the net assets of the Burberry Beauty Business as of the October 2, 2017 acquisition date: Estimated fair value as previously reported (a) Measurement period adjustments (b) Estimated fair value as adjusted Estimated useful life (in years) Inventories $ 47.9 $ — $ 47.9 Property, plant and equipment 5.8 — 5.8 1 - 3 License and distribution rights 177.8 6.7 184.5 3 - 15 Goodwill 34.9 ( 9.4 ) 25.5 Indefinite Net other liabilities ( 10.1 ) 2.7 ( 7.4 ) Total purchase price $ 256.3 $ — $ 256.3 (a) As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. (b) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The measurement period adjustments related to an increase in the value of the License and distribution rights due to changes in assumptions that were used at the date of acquisition for valuation purposes. The measurement period adjustment related to the decrease in net other liabilities acquired was a result of obtaining new facts and circumstances about acquired accrued expenses that existed as of the acquisition date. All measurement period adjustments were offset against Goodwill. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies resulting from integrating the Burberry Beauty Business products into the Company’s existing sales channels. Goodwill of $ 6.2 , $ 9.2 , and $ 3.9 is allocated to the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific segments, respectively. Goodwill includes amounts related to discontinued operations of $ 6.2 . The allocation of goodwill to the segments were due to the reduction in corporate and regional overhead allocated to these segments due to the addition of the Burberry Beauty Business acquisition. The business combinations mentioned above were not significant to our operating results individually or in aggregate, and thus pro forma results are not presented. Business Divestitures Younique On August 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Contribution and Redemption Agreement to transfer all of its membership interest in Foundation, which held the net assets of Younique, to an existing noncontrolling interest holder. On September 16, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the sale of all of its membership interest in Foundation. Consideration received at the Closing Date consisted of $ 50.0 cash and a secured promissory note with a face value of $ 27.9 . During the fiscal year June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a final pre-tax gain of $ 111.5 resulting from the sale. The final pre-tax gain is included in (Gain) loss on divestitures and sale of brand assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Younique’s operations are included within Other and its results of operations through the Closing Date are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. 5. SEGMENT REPORTING Operating and reportable segments (referred to as “segments”) reflect the way the Company is managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has designated its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company's CODM changed the reporting structure used to allocate resources from the previous category focused organizational structure that included three operating and reportable segments: Luxury, Consumer Beauty and Professional Beauty, to a structure based on regional commercial business units. Due to discontinued operations presentation, the Company’s three remaining segments for its continuing operations are: Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, excluding the discontinued retail hair operations in each segment. The change in 20 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) profitability of each of the remaining segments is due to the reallocation of certain shared costs, which were previously allocated to the Professional Beauty division and the discontinued retail hair operations, to the remaining segments comprising continuing operations. Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific include the businesses focused on prestige fragrances, prestige skin care, prestige cosmetics, mass color cosmetics, mass fragrance, mass skin care and body care, and are supported by central marketing teams. Certain income and shared costs and the results of corporate initiatives are managed by Corporate. Corporate primarily includes restructuring and realignment costs, costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities and impairments of long lived assets, goodwill and intangibles that are not attributable to ongoing operating activities of the segments. The results of Younique, LLC ("Younique") are included in "Other." See Note 4—Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions and Divestitures for information on Younique and the divestiture, which was completed on September 16, 2019. Corporate costs are not used by the CODM to measure the underlying performance of the segments. With the exception of goodwill, the Company does not identify or monitor assets by segment. The Company does not present assets by reportable segment since various assets are shared between reportable segments. The allocation of goodwill by segment is presented in Note 12—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net.

TRADE RECEIVABLES—FACTORING The Company factors a portion of its trade receivables with unrelated third-party factoring companies on both a recourse and non-recourse basis. The Company maximizes its use of the factoring facility, by factoring additional invoices to replace invoices paid early. The net amount utilized under the factoring facilities was $ 123.1 and $ 118.3 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate amount of trade receivable invoices on a worldwide basis amounted to $ 839.8 and $ 547.9 in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Remaining balances due from factors amounted to $ 6.2 and $ 8.6 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in Trade receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Factoring fees paid under these arrangements were $ 1.8 , $ 2.4 and $ 0.6 in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash received from the selling of receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement are presented as a change in trade receivables within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. U.S. Receivables Purchase Agreement On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) with a financial institution, with an aggregate facility limit of $ 150.0 . Eligible trade receivables are purchased by the financial institution for cash at net invoice value less a factoring fee. Pursuant to Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Company acts as collections agent for the financial institution and is responsible for the collection, and remittance to the financial institution, of all customer payments related to trade receivables factored under this arrangement. For certain customer receivables factored, the Company will retain a recourse obligation of up to 10 percent of the respective invoice’s net invoice value, payable to the financial institution if the customer’s payment is not received by the contractual due 25 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) date. The Company accounts for trade receivable transfers under the Receivables Purchase Agreement as sales and derecognizes the sold receivables from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. The Company estimated that the fair value of its servicing responsibilities was not material. Cash received from the selling of receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement are presented as a change in trade receivables within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. European Receivables Purchase Agreement In September, 2019, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a financial institution, which allows for the transfer of receivables from certain of our European subsidiaries, in exchange for cash (the “European Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The total outstanding amount permitted among such subsidiaries is € 93.0 . Factoring of such receivables under the European Receivables Purchase Agreement is executed on a non-recourse basis. 9.

Depreciation expense is recorded in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $ 16.8 , $ 27.8 and $ 15.6 respectively. The fiscal 2020 impairment charge is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and primarily relate to the abandonment of a retail store and software no longer in use. The fiscal 2019 and 2018 impairment charges are included in Restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and primarily relate to the disposal of certain manufacturing facilities, and the write-off of machinery and equipment in excess of the Company’s needs. 12. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET Assessment for Impairments The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived other intangible assets for impairment at least annually as of May 1, or more frequently, if certain events or circumstances warrant. There were no impairments of goodwill at the Company’s reporting units or of indefinite-lived other intangible assets in fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded total goodwill impairments of $ 3,307.5 and total impairments on indefinite-lived other intangible assets of $ 389.8 . Additionally, the Company recorded impairments of $ 19.7 on finite-lived other intangible assets during fiscal 2019 . During fiscal 2020, the Company recorded total goodwill impairments of $ 105.0 and total impairments on indefinite-lived other intangible assets of $ 329.0 . The asset impairment charges were a result of the following impairment tests: During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic. This drove a decrease in net revenue, impacting all product categories across the Company, due to the closure of retail malls, professional salons, travel retail channels and certain mass channels. Management concluded that this adverse factor represented an indicator of impairment that warranted an interim impairment test for goodwill and certain other intangible assets. As a result, in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized asset impairment charges of $ 40.4 , relating to indefinite-lived other intangible assets (related to the CoverGirl, Max Factor and Bourjois trademarks). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, a s a result of the May 1, 2020 annual impairment test, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $ 288.6 related to indefinite-lived other intangible assets (mainly CoverGirl, Max Factor, Philosophy and Bourjois trademarks) that are all considered corporate assets. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded as a result of the annual impairment test performed on May 1, 2020. On June 1, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with KKR, regarding a strategic transaction for the sale of Coty’s Wella Business. A goodwill impairment test should be performed immediately before and after a Company reorganizes its reporting structure if the reorganization would affect the composition of one or more of its reporting units. As a result, the Company determined that goodwill should be tested for potential impairment after considering the sale of the Wella Business. As a result of the June 1, 2020 impairment test, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 105.0 related to goodwill of the EMEA reporting unit. The Company considered several factors that developed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 that led to the conclusion that the fair values of the EMEA reporting unit and certain indefinite-lived other intangible assets were below their carrying amounts. The continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic was the principle driver of additional impairments. This drove a 27 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) decrease in net revenue, impacting all product categories across the Company, due to the slow economic recovery that arose as a result of the pandemic. The fair value of the EMEA reporting unit was also adversely impacted due to a loss of synergies from the sale of the Wella Business. Additionally the fair values of the trademarks were adversely affected by a 165 and 190 basis point increase in the discount rate compared to the May 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020 test, respectively. The Company estimated the fair values of its reporting units based on discounted cash flow methodology reflecting the latest projections which included, among other things, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic for the Company’s impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of our 2020 fiscal year. These projections assumed a gradual recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in early fiscal 2021 through the third quarter of fiscal 2021. These projections also considered the targeted reduction in the Company’s fixed cost structure in line with the announced Transformation Plan. These cost reductions will be achieved through a combination of further consolidating its supply network, headcount restructuring, and substantial reduction in its non-people costs.

As a result, the Company allocated goodwill to the new segments using a relative fair value approach. In addition, the Company completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment for all reporting units immediately prior to the reallocation and determined that no impairment existed. Further, the Company recast the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset tables for the new segments. 28 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) As a result of the definitive agreement signed with KKR for the Wella Business (see Note 3 — Discontinued Operations), the results of the Wella Business are presented as discontinued operations.

The Senior Unsecured Notes contain customary covenants that place restrictions in certain circumstances on, among other things, incurrence of liens, entry into sale or leaseback transactions, sales of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and certain merger or consolidation transactions. The Senior Unsecured Notes also provide for customary events of default.

Initial borrowings under the 2018 Coty Term Loan B Facility were issued at a 0.250 % discount. The 2018 Coty Credit Agreement provides that with respect to the 2018 Coty Revolving Credit Facility, up to $ 150.0 is available for letters of credit and up to $ 150.0 is available for swing line loans. The 2018 Coty Credit Agreement also permits, subject to certain terms and conditions, the incurrence of incremental facilities thereunder in an aggregate amount of (i) $ 1,700.0 plus (ii) an unlimited amount if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement), at the time of incurrence of such incremental facilities and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00. The obligations of the Company under the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company organized in the U.S., subject to certain exceptions (the “Guarantors”) and the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority lien (subject to permitted liens) on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Dutch Borrower does not guarantee the obligations of the Company under the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement or grant any liens on its assets to secure any obligations under the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement. On June 27, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment (“2019 Amendment”) to the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement. The 2019 Amendment modified the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement by amending the financial covenants to (i) delay until March 31, 2022 the total net leverage ratio step down from 5.25 to 5.0 (as further described in the Covenants section below), (ii) extend the applicable window for certain cost savings add-backs in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for purpose of determining the total net leverage ratio, and (iii) amend the determination of the exchange rate to be used for purposes of calculating “Total Indebtedness” (as defined in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement) for purposes of the total net leverage ratio, and decreasing the total commitments under the revolving credit facility by $ 500.0 to $ 2,750.0 . In connection with the 2019 Amendment, the Company wrote off $ 3.8 of unamortized deferred financing fees, which were recorded as Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The amendment (i) provides a net debt to EBITDA financial covenant "holiday" through March 31, 2021; (ii) establishes a minimum liquidity covenant through March 31, 2021 of $ 350.0 ; and (iii) effectively places certain limitations on the ability to make certain investments and restricted payments (including limiting our ability to pay dividends in cash through March 31, 2021) and on incurring additional secured indebtedness.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended, includes certain add backs related to cost savings, operating expense reductions and future unrealized synergies subject to certain limits and conditions as specified in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended. The 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended, establishes a quarterly minimum liquidity covenant for this period of $ 350.0 . As of June 30, 2020, the current immediate liquidity was $ 1,618.1 . In the four fiscal quarters following the closing of any Material Acquisition (as defined in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended), including the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition occurs, the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be the lesser of (i) 5.95 to 1.00 and (ii) 1.00 higher than the otherwise applicable maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio for such quarter (as set forth in the table above). Immediately after any such four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two consecutive fiscal quarters during which our Total Net Leverage Ratio is no greater than the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio that would otherwise have been required in the absence of such Material Acquisition, regardless of whether any additional Material Acquisitions are consummated during such period. On January 6, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for the King Kylie Transaction, which constituted a Material Acquisition. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained within the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended. 37 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 16. LEASES A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at lease inception. For operating leases entered into prior to July 1, 2019, the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term from the implementation date of the standard, July 1, 2019. For leases entered into subsequent to July 1, 2019, the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease. The Company uses discount rates to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company leases office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with terms generally ranging between 10 and 25 years. The Company utilizes these leased office facilities for use by its employees in countries in which the Company conducts its business. Leases are negotiated with third parties and, in some instances contain renewal, expansion and termination options. The Company also subleases certain office facilities to third parties when the Company no longer intends to utilize the space. None of the Company’s leases restricts the payment of dividends or the incurrence of debt or additional lease obligations, or contain significant purchase options. A portion of our real estate lease portfolio contains base rents subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) as well as charges for operating expenses which are reimbursable to the landlord based on actual usage. Changes to the CPI and payments for such reimbursable operating expenses that are not defined with a minimum rate increase are considered variable and are recognized as variable lease costs in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. As a practical expedient, the Company has elected an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead, account for these components as a single lease component. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that, at the commencement date, are for 12 months or less. All of the Company’s material leases are operating leases. These are primarily real estate properties, including corporate offices, retail stores and facilities to support the Company's manufacturing, research and development and distribution operations. Due to the divestiture of the Wella Business, lease assets, liabilities and expenses specific to this business for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 are excluded from the subsequent tables and reported as held for sale. The following chart provides additional information about the Company’s operating leases for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

The Company collected payments from sub-lessors relating to facilities no longer in use by the Company of $ 9.4 and $ 6.2 for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fiscal years ended 2019 and 2018 rent expense and sub-lessor payments include amounts related to discontinued operations. 38 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recorded asset impairment charges of $ 7.8 , $ 0.0 and $ 0.0 . The fiscal 2020 impairment charges are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and primarily relate to abandonment of a retail store no longer in use. Future minimum lease payments for the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2020 are as follows: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2021 $ 115.1 2022 85.3 2023 60.3 2024 47.8 2025 37.6 Thereafter 119.5 Total future lease payments 465.6 Less: imputed interest ( 43.2 ) Total present value of lease liabilities $ 422.4 Current operating lease liabilities 105.0 Long-term operating lease liabilities 317.4 Total operating lease liabilities $ 422.4 Table excludes obligations for leases with original terms of 12 months or less which have not been recognized as ROU assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In fiscal 2020, the change in the valuation allowance was due primarily to valuation allowances released as a result of the underlying net operating losses either expiring or being written off due to the entity being liquidated. 41 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of UTBs is presented below: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2018 UTBs—July 1 $ 263.6 $ 235.7 $ 256.7 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 15.9 43.9 43.6 Additions for tax positions of prior years 42.9 8.3 29.6 Reductions for tax positions of prior years ( 27.6 ) ( 9.6 ) ( 39.9 ) Settlements ( 0.1 ) ( 2.7 ) ( 42.3 ) Lapses in statutes of limitations ( 12.7 ) ( 9.0 ) ( 10.4 ) Foreign currency translation ( 4.1 ) ( 3.0 ) ( 1.6 ) UTBs—June 30 $ 277.9 $ 263.6 $ 235.7 As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $ 277.9 of UTBs of which $ 150.1 represents the amount that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate in future periods. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, is $ 170.7 and $ 170.6 , respectively, which is recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2020, the Company accrued interest of $ 3.2 , while in fiscal 2019 and 2018 the Company accrued interest of $ 4.3 and $ 1.5 , respectively. During fiscal 2020, the Company accrued penalties of $ 0.0 , while in fiscal 2019 and 2018 the Company accrued penalties of $ 0.0 and $ 0.4 , respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to UTBs as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 is $ 19.3 and $ 16.7 , respectively. The Company is present in approximately 55 tax jurisdictions, and at any point in time is subject to several audits at various stages of completion. As a result, the Company evaluates tax positions and establishes liabilities for UTBs that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite a belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. UTBs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law, and closing of statute of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the provision for income taxes as appropriate. In fiscal 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $ 12.8 and $ 11.7 respectively associated with the settlement of tax audits in multiple jurisdictions and the expiration of foreign and state statutes of limitation. The Company has open tax years ranging from 2009 and forward. On the basis of information available at June 30, 2020, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $ 33.2 in UTBs related to U.S. and foreign exposures may be necessary within the coming year. It is also possible the ongoing audits by tax authorities may result in increases or decreases to the balance of UTBs. Since it is common practice to extend audits beyond the Statute of Limitations, the Company is unable to predict the timing or conclusion of these audits and, accordingly, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of changes to the balance of UTBs that are reasonably possible at this time. However, the Company believes it has adequately provided for its UTBs for all open tax years in each tax jurisdiction. On December 22, 2017, “H.R.1”, formerly known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax system by, amongst other things, reducing the federal tax rate on U.S. earnings to 21%, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a one-time deemed repatriation tax on historical earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries that have not been repatriated to the U.S. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act changing the U.S. to a modified territorial tax system, the Company no longer asserts that any of its undistributed foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. We do not expect to incur significant withholding or state taxes on future distributions. To the extent there remains a basis difference between the financial reporting and tax basis of an investment in a foreign subsidiary after the repatriation of the previously taxed income of $ 4,600.0 , the Company is permanently reinvested. On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date of the Tax Act for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. The Company recorded its initial estimate of the impact of the Tax Act in fiscal 2018. This estimate was a charge of approximately $ 123.0 as a result of utilizing tax attributes (e.g., net operating losses and foreign tax credits) to fully offset the cash impact of the one-time deemed repatriation tax. During fiscal 2019, the Company finalized its estimate of the impact of the Tax Act and no additional adjustments were required. 42 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 18. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET Interest expense, net for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is presented below: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2018 Interest expense $ 233.3 $ 252.0 $ 222.7 Foreign exchange (gain) losses, net of derivative contracts (a) 14.8 ( 7.6 ) ( 8.5 ) Interest income ( 5.4 ) ( 19.2 ) ( 13.6 ) Total interest expense, net $ 242.7 $ 225.2 $ 200.6 (a) In the year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded gains of $ 1.4 related to short-term forward contracts to exchange euros for U.S. dollars to facilitate the repayment of U.S. dollar denominated debt. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the dates the short-term forward contracts were entered into and the settlement date resulted in a gain upon settlement of $ 1.4 included within total Interest expense, net for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. 19. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Savings and Retirement Plans - The Company’s Savings and Retirement Plans include a U.S. defined contribution plan for employees primarily in the U.S. and international savings plans for employees in certain other countries. In the U.S., hourly and salary based employees are eligible to participate in the plan after 90 days of service and the Company matches 100 % of employee contributions up to 6.0 % of employee compensation. In addition, the Company makes contributions to the plan on behalf of employees determined by their age and compensation. During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, the defined contribution expense for Coty Inc. for the U.S. defined contribution plan was $ 20.5 , $ 20.4 and $ 22.0 , respectively, and the defined contribution expense for the international savings plans was $ 14.1 , $ 12.9 and $ 18.3 , respectively. Defined contribution expense includes amounts related to discontinued operations, which are not material for any period. Pension Plans - The Company sponsors contributory and noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. and international employees primarily in France, Germany and Switzerland. Participants in the U.S. defined benefit pension plan no longer accrue benefits. The Company measures defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the Company’s fiscal year-end. The Company’s defined benefit pension plans are funded primarily through contributions from the Company after consideration of recommendations from the pension plans’ independent actuaries and are funded at levels sufficient to comply with local requirements. Settlements and Curtailments for Pension Plans As part of the Turnaround Plan, the Company concluded that restructuring actions resulted in a significant reduction of future services of active employees in certain of our non-U.S. pension plans. As a result, the Company recognized curtailment gains of $ 14.1 during the year ended June 30, 2020. The impact of settlement and curtailment activity on the current and prior comparative periods is included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During fiscal 2019, as part of Global Integration Activities, the Company concluded that restructuring actions resulted in a significant reduction of future services of active employees in certain of our non-U.S. pension plans. As a result, the Company recognized curtailment gains of $ 5.1 during the year ended June 30, 2019. Plan Amendments for Pension Plans - There were no Plan amendments as of June 30, 2020. Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans (“OPEB”) - The Company provides certain post-employment health and life insurance benefits for certain employees and spouses principally in the U.S. and France if certain age and service requirements are met. Estimated benefits to be paid by the Company are expensed over the service period of each employee based on calculations performed by an independent actuary. In addition, the Company has a supplemental retirement plan and a termination benefit plan for selected salaried employees. Settlements and Curtailments for OPEB Plans As part of the Turnaround Plan, the Company concluded that restructuring actions resulted in a significant reduction of future services of active employees in certain of our US OPEB Plans. As a result, the Company recognized curtailment gains of 43 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) $ 0.8 during the year ended June 30, 2020. The impact of settlement and curtailment activity on the current and prior comparative periods is included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company amended a non-U.S. postretirement healthcare plan during fiscal 2018, which significantly reduced the expected years of future service for employees participating in the plan. The amendment triggered a curtailment gain of $ 10.4 , which is included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2018. All of the disclosures below include amounts related to discontinued operations, except when otherwise noted.

The goals of the investment managers include minimizing risk and achieving growth in principal value so that the purchasing power of such value is maintained with respect to the rate of inflation. The pension plan’s return on assets is based on management’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the underlying investment portfolios. In establishing this assumption, management considers historical and expected returns for the assets in which the plan is invested, as well as current economic and market conditions. The asset allocation decision includes consideration of future retirements, lump-sum elections, growth in the number of participants, the Company’s contributions and cash flow. These actual characteristics of the plan place certain demands upon the level, risk and required growth of trust assets. Actual asset allocation is regularly reviewed and periodically rebalanced to the strategic allocation when considered appropriate. The target asset allocations for the Company’s pension plans as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, by asset category are presented below: % of Plan Assets at Year Ended Target 2020 2019 Equity securities 40 % 35 % 41 % Fixed income securities 50 % 38 % 42 % Cash and other investments 10 % 27 % 17 % 47 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Fair Value of Plan Assets The international pension plan assets that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the fair value hierarchy as described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented below: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 Equity securities $ 67.5 $ 66.8 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 67.5 $ 66.8 Fixed income securities: Corporate securities 58.6 57.9 — — — — 58.6 57.9 Other: Cash and cash equivalents 0.5 1.0 — — — 0.5 1.0 Insurance contracts and other — — — — 148.0 143.2 148.0 143.2 Total pension plan assets $ 126.6 $ 125.7 $ — $ — $ 148.0 $ 143.2 $ 274.6 $ 268.9 The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for plan assets measured at fair value: Equity securities -The fair values reflect the closing price reported on a major market where the individual securities are traded. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Corporate securities -The fair values are based on a compilation of primarily observable market information or a broker quote in a non-active market. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents -The carrying amount approximates fair value, primarily because of the short maturity of cash equivalent instruments. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Insurance contracts and other - Includes contracts issued by insurance companies and other investments that are not publicly traded. These investments are generally classified as Level 3 as there are neither quoted prices nor other observable inputs for pricing. Insurance contracts are valued at cash surrender value, which approximates the contract fair value. Other Level 3 plan assets include real estate and other alternative investment funds requiring inputs that cannot be readily derived from observable market data due to the infrequency with which the underlying assets trade. The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan for all eligible Swiss employees. Retirement benefits are provided based on employees’ years of service and earnings, or in accordance with applicable employee regulations. Consistent with typical Swiss practice, the pension plan is funded through a guaranteed insurance contract with an insurance company (“IC”). The IC is responsible for the investment strategy of the insurance premiums that the Company submits and does not hold individual assets per participating employer. Assets are invested in accordance with the IC’s own strategies and risk assessments. Under the terms of the contract, the interest rate as well as the capital value is guaranteed for each participant, with the IC assuming any risk to the value of the underlying assets. The IC is a member of a security fund, whose purpose is to cover any shortfall in the event they are not able to fulfill its contractual agreements. The plan assets of the Swiss plan are included in the Level 3 valuation. The Company also sponsors qualified defined benefit pension plans for certain eligible German employees. The Company’s German pension plans are partially funded with plan assets held in a Contractual Trust Arrangement, under which Company assets have been irrevocably transferred to a registered association for the exclusive purpose of securing and funding pension obligations in Germany. The association invests primarily in publicly tradable equity and fixed income securities, using a funding strategy that is reviewed on a regular basis. Plan assets are also held in the Company’s other non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The other non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans provide benefits primarily based on earnings and years of service and are funded in compliance with local laws and practices. The plan assets are invested in various asset classes that are expected to produce a sufficient level of diversification and investment return over the long term at an acceptable level of risk. 48 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The reconciliations of Level 3 plan assets measured at fair value in fiscal 2020 and 2019 are presented below: June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 Insurance contracts: Fair value—July 1 $ 143.2 $ 143.7 Return on plan assets 4.3 ( 0.2 ) Purchases, sales and settlements, net ( 2.8 ) ( 2.5 ) Effect of exchange rates 3.3 2.2 Fair value—June 30 $ 148.0 $ 143.2 Contributions The Company plans to contribute approximately $ 1.3 to its remaining U.S. pension plan and expects to contribute approximately $ 33.6 and $ 2.9 to its international pension and other post-employment benefit plans, respectively, during fiscal 2021.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations through its global operations. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments and also by designating foreign currency denominated borrowings and cross-currency swaps as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company expects that through hedging, any gain or loss on the derivative instruments would generally offset the expected increase or decrease in the value of the underlying forecasted transactions. The Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts for which hedge accounting treatment has been applied, which the Company anticipates realizing in the Consolidated Statements of Operations through fiscal 2021. In addition, in September 2019, the Company entered into cross-currency swap contracts in the notional amount of $ 550.0 and designated these cross-currency swaps as hedges of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. These cross-currency swaps allow for the exchange of fixed interest payments on the agreed upon notional amounts, between the Company and the related counterparties, effectively converting the Company’s fixed rate U.S. dollar denominated debt to euro denominated debt with more favorable fixed rate interest payments over the contracts’ term. Cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges are marked-to-market using the current spot exchange rate as of the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses included in the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/(L)”) until the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying net investments. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge anticipated transactions for periods consistent with the Company’s identified exposures to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on revenues, costs and on the cash flows that the Company receives from foreign subsidiaries and third parties where there is a high probability that anticipated exposures will materialize. The foreign exchange forward contracts used to hedge anticipated transactions have been designated as foreign exchange cash-flow hedges. Hedge effectiveness of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on the forward-to-forward hypothetical derivative methodology and includes all changes in value. 49 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company also continued to use certain derivatives as economic hedges of foreign currency exposure on firm commitments and forecasted transactions, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Although these derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting, the overall objective of mitigating foreign currency exposure is the same for all derivative instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor is the Company a party to leveraged derivatives. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded in the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the derivative relates. Interest Rate Risk The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to its variable rate debt instruments. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in the variable interest rates by entering into offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts. The interest rate swap contracts result in recognizing a fixed interest rate for the portion of the Company’s variable rate debt that was hedged. This will reduce the negative impact of increases in the variable rates over the term of the contracts. Hedge effectiveness of interest rate swap contracts is based on a long-haul hypothetical derivative methodology and includes all changes in value. During August 2018, the Company extended the maturity of the interest rate swap portfolio through fiscal 2021 by replacing its original swap contracts with swap contracts having longer maturities to manage the medium term exposure to interest rate increases. The Company received $ 43.2 for settlement of the original swap contracts. As the forecasted interest expense under the original swap agreements is still probable, the related AOCI/(L) will be amortized in line with the timing of the forecasted transactions. During September 2019, the Company entered into incremental interest rate swap contracts in the notional amount of $ 1,000.0 , which extended the maturity of the interest rate swap portfolio from 2021 through 2023. These interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had interest rate swap contracts designated as effective hedges in the notional amount of $ 3,000.0 and $ 2,000.0 , respectively. Hedge Accounting Derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are measured at fair value. For derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of specific underlying forecasted transactions, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, the Company formally assesses both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Additionally, all of the master agreements governing the Company’s derivative contracts contain standard provisions that could trigger early termination of the contracts in certain circumstances which would require the Company to discontinue hedge accounting, including if the Company were to merge with another entity and the creditworthiness of the surviving entity were to be “materially weaker” than that of the Company prior to the merger. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value are recorded in AOCI/(L). Gains and losses deferred in AOCI/(L) are then recognized in Net income (loss) in a manner that matches the timing of the actual income or expense related to the hedging instruments with the hedged transaction. The gains and losses related to designated hedging instruments are also recorded in the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the derivative relates. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The ineffective portion of foreign exchange forward and interest rate swap contracts are recorded in current-period earnings. For hedge contracts that are no longer deemed highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued and gains and losses accumulated in Other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) are reclassified to earnings when the underlying forecasted transaction occurs. If it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur, then any gains or losses in AOCI/(L) are reclassified to current-period earnings. For fiscal 2020, all of the Company’s foreign exchange forward and interest rate swap contracts designated as hedges were highly effective. The Company also attempts to minimize credit exposure to counterparties by entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that are major financial institutions and utilizing master netting arrangements. Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties with respect to the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts is limited to the fair value of contracts in net asset positions under master netting arrangements. Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties with respect to the Company’s interest rate swap contracts is limited to the fair value of contracts in net asset positions. Accordingly, management of the Company believes risk of material loss under these hedging contracts is remote. 50 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Net Investment Hedge Foreign currency gains and losses on borrowings designated as a net investment hedge, except ineffective portions, are reported in the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) component of AOCI/(L), along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those investments. Foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as net investment hedges had nominal exposures of € 3,591.0 and € 3,699.3 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net investment hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the change in the spot rate of the foreign currency denominated loans payable. The critical terms (underlying notional and currency) of the loans payable match the portion of the net investments designated as being hedged. The net investment hedges were equal to the designated portions of the international subsidiaries’ investment balances as of June 30, 2020. As such, the net investment hedges were considered to be effective, and, as a result, the changes in the fair value were recorded within CTA on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging instruments: The accumulated gain on foreign currency borrowings classified as net investment hedges in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI/(L) was $ 261.9 and $ 214.8 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The accumulated loss on derivative instruments classified as net investment hedges in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI/(L) was $( 12.5 ) and $ 0.0 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE FINANCIAL INTEREST United Arab Emirates subsidiary The Company is required under a shareholders agreement to purchase all of the shares held by the noncontrolling interest holder equal to 25 % of the outstanding shares of a certain subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates (the “U.A.E. subsidiary”) at the termination of the agreement. The Company has determined such shares to be a mandatorily redeemable financial interest (“MRFI”) that is recorded as a liability. The liability is calculated based upon a pre-determined formula in accordance with the related U.A.E. Shareholders Agreement. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the liability amounted to $ 8.8 and $ 7.5 , respectively, of which $ 6.9 and $ 6.1 , respectively, was recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities and $ 1.9 and $ 1.4 , respectively, was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The assets of the U.A.E. subsidiary are restricted in that they are not available for general business use outside the context of the U.A.E. subsidiary and creditors (or beneficial interest holders) do not have recourse to the Company or to its other assets. The U.A.E. subsidiary has total assets and total liabilities of $ 25.8 and $ 15.1 as of June 30, 2020, and $ 37.2 and $ 26.7 as of June 30, 2019, respectively. Southeast Asian subsidiary On May 23, 2017, the Company entered into the Sale of Shares and Termination Deed, as amended (the “Termination Agreement”) to purchase the remaining 49 % noncontrolling interest from the noncontrolling interest holder of a certain Southeast Asian subsidiary for a purchase price of $ 45.0 . In July 2019, the Company purchased the remaining 49 % noncontrolling interest of a certain Southeast Asian subsidiary from the noncontrolling interest holder for $ 45.0 , pursuant to a Sale of Shares and Termination Deed, as amended. The termination was effective on June 30, 2019 and immediately prior to the cash purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest, the noncontrolling interest balance was recorded as a MRFI liability. 52 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 22. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS As of June 30, 2020, the redeemable noncontrolling interests (“RNCI”) consist of interests in a consolidated subsidiary in the Middle East. Younique On September 16, 2019, the Company completed the sale of all of its membership interest in Foundation, which held the net assets of Younique. On the date of this transaction, the Younique membership holders had a 40.7 % membership interest in Foundation. See Note 4—Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions and Divestitures. As a result of the Company’s sale of its membership interest in Foundation, RNCI of $ 360.4 was derecognized as of the date of sale. The Company accounted for the 40.7 % noncontrolling interest portion of Foundation as RNCI due to the noncontrolling interest holder’s right to put their shares to the Company in certain circumstances. Foundation was a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary through September 16, 2019 and the Company recorded income tax expense based on the Company’s 59.3 % membership interest in Foundation due to its treatment as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, Foundation’s net income attributable to RNCI is equal to the 40.7 % noncontrolling interest of Foundation’s net income excluding a provision for income taxes. The Company recognized $ 365.3 as the RNCI balance as of June 30, 2019. Subsidiary in the Middle East As of June 30, 2020, the noncontrolling interest holder in the Company’s subsidiary in the Middle East (“Middle East Subsidiary”) had a 25 % ownership share. The Company has the ability to exercise the Call right for the remaining noncontrolling interest of 25 % on December 31, 2028, with such transaction to close on December 31, 2029. In addition to the Call right feature, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to sell the noncontrolling interest to the Company on December 31, 2028, with such transaction to close on December 31, 2029 (a “Put right”). The amount at which the Put right and Call right can be exercised is based on a formula prescribed by the amended shareholders’ agreement as summarized in the table below, multiplied by the noncontrolling interest holder’s percentage interest in the Middle East Subsidiary. Given the provision of the Put right, the entire noncontrolling interest is redeemable outside of the Company’s control and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the estimated redemption value. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interest to the redemption values at the end of each reporting period with changes recognized as adjustments to APIC. The Company recognized $ 79.1 and $ 86.5 as the redeemable noncontrolling interest balances as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Middle East Percentage of redeemable noncontrolling interest (a) 25 % Earliest exercise date(s) (b) December 2028 Formula of redemption value (c) 3 -year average of EBIT * 6 (a) The parties are entitled to call or put the remaining interest in July 2028. The Put right and Call right will be exercised in respect of the noncontrolling interest holder’s percentage of shares of the Middle East subsidiary at the time of the exercise. (b) The parties are entitled to call or put the noncontrolling interest holder’s percentage of shares of the subsidiary in December 2028. (c) EBIT is defined in the amended shareholders’ agreement as the consolidated net earnings before interest and income tax. 23.

Generally, the subscription agreements entitle the holder of the vested Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock to exchange the Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock into either cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, at the election of the Company, at the exchange value. The exchange value is generally equal to the difference between the 10-day trailing average closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date of exchange and a predetermined hurdle price. The Series A Preferred Stock generally vests on the fifth anniversary of issuance, subject to continued employment with the Company and investment by the holder in shares of Class A Common Stock throughout the vesting period. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock generally vests on graded vesting terms where 60 % of the award granted vests after three years , 20 % of the award granted vests after four years and 20 % of the award granted vests after five years , subject to continued employment with the Company and investment by the holder in shares of Class A Common Stock throughout the vesting period. To the extent the Company controls whether such shares will be settled in cash or equity and intends to settle the grant in equity, the grant is treated as an equity grant, otherwise the grant is treated as a liability grant. The following table summarizes the key terms of each outstanding issuance of Series A Preferred Stock: Issuance Date Type Number of Shares Awarded at Grant Date (millions of shares) Number of Shares Outstanding (millions of shares) Hurdle Price per Share February 16, 2017 (a) Series A 0.5 0.3 $ 22.66 March 27, 2017 (a) (b) Series A 1.0 1.0 $ 22.39 November 16, 2017 (a) Series A 1.0 0.2 $ 19.85 54 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) (a) If the h older does not exchange the vested Series A Preferred Stock by a specified expiration date, the Company must automatically exchange the Series A Preferred Stock into cash or shares, at election of the Company.

As of June 30, 2020, up to 74.6 million shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock were authorized to be granted pursuant to these Plans, of which 61.3 million shares were available. The Company may satisfy the obligation of its stock-based compensation awards with new shares. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation plans for common stock as equity plans. The share-based compensation for equity plans is estimated and fixed at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Series A Preferred Stock is accounted for partially as equity and partially using liability plan accounting to the extent the award is expected to be settled in cash. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense for the liability plan awards are measured at the end of each reporting period based on the fair value of the award on each reporting date and recognized as an expense to the extent earned. 58 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Total share-based compensation from continuing operations is shown in the table below: 2020 2019 2018 Equity plan expense (a) $ 24.8 $ 13.4 $ 28.9 Equity plan modified and cash settled 18.3 — — Liability plan (income) expense ( 2.0 ) ( 2.1 ) ( 1.0 ) Fringe expense 1.1 0.4 2.5 Total share-based compensation expense $ 42.2 $ 11.7 $ 30.4 (a) Equity Plan shared-based compensation expense of $ 31.8 was recorded to additional paid in capital and presented in the Consolidated Statement of Equity for the period ended June 30, 2020. Of the $ 31.8 , $ 7.0 was reclassified to discontinued operations. The share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 of $ 42.2 , $ 11.7 and $ 30.4 , respectively, includes $ 48.9 , $ 30.0 , and $ 30.4 expense for the respective period offset by $( 6.7 ), $( 18.3 ) and nil income for the respective periods primarily due to significant executive forfeitures of share-based compensation instruments and the impact of actual forfeitures on the change in estimated forfeiture rates during the period. During fiscal 2020, $ 18.3 of share-based compensation expense related to the repurchase of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shares from the Company’s former CEO. As of June 30, 2020, the total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other share awards is $ 24.3 , nil , $ 6.3 and $ 69.7 , respectively. The unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other share awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.45 , nil, 1.93 and 2.23 years, respectively. Nonqualified Stock Options During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 2.2 million, 19.4 million and 5.9 million nonqualified stock option awards, respectively. These options are accounted for using equity accounting whereby the share-based compensation expense is estimated and fixed at the grant date based on the estimated value of the options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, the share-based compensation expense recognized on nonqualified stock options is based upon the fair value on the grant date estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2020 2019 2018 Expected life 7.4 years 6.5 years 7.5 years Risk-free interest rate 1.63 % 2.56 % 2.19 % Expected volatility 41.67 % 40.73 % 36.03 % Expected dividend yield 4.10 % 4.64 % 2.98 % Expected life —The expected life represents the period of time (years) that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which the Company calculates using a formula based on the vesting term and the contractual life of the respective option. Risk-free interest rate —The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on a U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected term of the underlying options. Expected volatility —The Company calculates expected volatility based on median volatility for peer companies using expected life daily stock price history equal to the expected life. Expected dividend yield —The weighted-average expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s expectation to pay dividends over the contractual term of the options. Nonqualified stock options generally become exercisable 5 years from the date of the grant or on a graded vesting schedule where 60 % of each award granted vests after three years , 20 % of each award granted vests after four years and 20 % of each award granted vests after five years . All grants expire 10 years from the date of the grant. 59 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company’s outstanding nonqualified stock options as of June 30, 2020 and activity during the fiscal year then ended are presented below: Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Outstanding at July 1, 2019 27.9 $ 12.89 Granted 2.2 12.21 Exercised ( 0.3 ) 9.56 Forfeited ( 11.8 ) 12.79 Outstanding at June 30, 2020 18.0 $ 12.93 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2020 15.0 $ 12.75 $ — 7.92 Exercisable at June 30, 2020 0.8 $ 10.24 $ — 0.82 Of the 18.0 million stock options outstanding, 9.8 million vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and 8.2 million vest on a graded vesting schedule where 60 % of each award granted vests after three years , 20 % of each award granted vests after four years and 20 % of each award granted vests after five years . The grant prices of the outstanding options as of June 30, 2020 ranged from $ 8.25 to $ 20.42 . The grant prices for exercisable options ranged from $ 9.20 to $ 10.50 . A summary of the aggregated weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted and total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 is presented below: 2020 2019 2018 Weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options $ 3.41 $ 2.87 $ 4.87 Intrinsic value of options exercised 6.1 11.5 32.2 The Company’s non-vested nonqualified stock options as of June 30, 2020 and activity during the fiscal year then ended are presented below: Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at July 1, 2019 26.8 $ 3.72 Granted 2.2 3.41 Forfeited ( 11.8 ) 3.64 Non-vested at June 30, 2020 17.2 $ 3.73 The share-based compensation expense recognized on the nonqualified stock options is $ 3.6 , $ 4.3 and $ 10.7 during fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Executive Ownership Programs The Company encourages executive stock ownership through various programs. These programs govern shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by employees (“Purchased Shares”). Employees purchased 0.8 million, 1.4 million and 2.0 million shares in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and received matching nonqualified stock options or RSUs in accordance with the terms of the Compensation Plans under the Omnibus LTIP. There was no share-based compensation expense recorded in connection with Purchased Shares for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018. Additionally, share-based compensation expense recorded in connection with matching stock awards granted in accordance with the Compensation Plans are noted in their respective section of this footnote. Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock In addition to the Executive Ownership Programs discussed above, the Series A Preferred Stock are accounted for partially as equity and partially as a liability as of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the Company recognized an (income) expense of $ 15.8 , $( 4.4 ) and $ 0.1 in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. See Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information. 60 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) On February 27, 2020, the Company agreed to repurchase 6.9 million shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock from the former CEO for $ 18.3 , which settled in cash during the fiscal 2020. The repurchase was treated as a modification of stock compensation awards’ vesting and settlement terms. The Company recorded an incremental expense of $ 18.3 related to the modification during the fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2017, the Company granted Series A Preferred Stock that included cash bonus payments tied to the exercisability of the awards. Due to the addition of cash bonus payments in connection with the grant of Series A Preferred Stock to certain executives in fiscal 2017, the Company began estimating the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock using a binomial lattice model to value the equity and cash bonus components of the combined instrument. The lattice structure the Company uses to value the awards consists of (i) a common stock lattice that models the possible stock price movements from the valuation date to the maturity date consistent with the stock price and estimated volatility on the valuation date; (ii) a share exchange lattice that calculates the value of the common stock received on conversion; (iii) a cash exchange lattice that calculates the value of the cash bonus; and (iv) a continuation value lattice that tracks the holding value of the combined instrument. In Fiscal 2019, the Company granted Series A-1 Preferred Stock with similar terms as previously granted Series A Preferred Stock and used the binomial lattice model to value the equity and cash bonus components of the combined instrument. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock that are liability accounted were estimated with the following weighted-average assumptions. 2020 2019 2018 Expected life, in years 3.74 years 4.97 years 4.52 years Expected volatility 53.20 % 42.53 % 35.00 % Risk-free rate of return 0.24 % 2.45 % 2.70 % Dividend yield on Class A Common Stock 8.39 % 6.19 % 3.55 % Expected life, in years - The expected life represents the period of time (years) that Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock granted are expected to be outstanding, which the Company calculates using a formula based on the vesting term and the contractual life of the respective Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Expected volatility - The Company calculates expected volatility based on the average of historical and implied volatilities. Risk-free rate of return - The Company bases the risk-free rate of return on the US Constant Maturity Treasury Rate. Dividend yield on Class A Common Stock - The Company calculated the weighted-average dividend yield on shares using the annualized dividend rate calculated on the per share dividend paid quarterly and the stock price as of the valuation date. Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Shares generally expire seven years from the date of the grant. The Company’s outstanding Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Shares as of June 30, 2020 and activity during the fiscal year then ended are presented below: Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Outstanding at July 1, 2019 9.4 $ 11.47 Forfeited ( 7.9 ) 9.46 Outstanding at June 30, 2020 1.5 22.10 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2020 1.0 $ 22.39 $ — 3.74 61 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company’s non-vested shares of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2020 and activity during the fiscal year then ended are presented below: Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at July 1, 2019 8.4 $ 1.39 Forfeited ( 7.9 ) 3.72 Non-vested at June 30, 2020 0.5 $ 3.55 Restricted Share Units On October 1, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification of the vesting schedules for certain RSUs granted during fiscal 2018, 2019 and 2020 to improve the Company’s ability to retain the affected employees, from five year cliff vesting to graded vesting where 60 % of each award granted vests after three years , 20 % of each award granted vests after four years and 20 % of each award granted vests after five years . Five hundred sixty employees held outstanding awards subject to the October 1, 2018 modification. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the incremental stock based compensation expense resulting from the modification was offset by income from actual and expected forfeitures in the modified awards. During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, 6.2 million, 6.9 million and 3.7 million RSUs were granted under the Omnibus LTIP and 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.1 million RSUs were granted under the 2007 Stock Plan for Directors, respectively.

Phantom Units On July 21, 2015, the Board granted Mr. Becht, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and interim CEO, an award of 300,000 phantom units, in consideration of Mr. Becht’s increased and continuing responsibilities as interim CEO of the Company. At the time of grant, the phantom units had a value of $ 8.1 based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on July 21, 2015. Each phantom unit has an economic value equivalent to one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock settleable in cash or shares at the election of Mr. Becht. The award to Mr. Becht was made outside of the Company’s Omnibus LTIP. On July 24, 2015, Mr. Becht elected to receive payment of the phantom units in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock and the phantom units were valued at $ 8.0 . The phantom units vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and, in the event of a change in control or Mr. Becht’s death or disability, the phantom units shall vest immediately. The Company recognized $ 8.0 of share-based compensation expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as there are no service or performance conditions with respect to the phantom units. 25. NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COTY INC. PER COMMON SHARE Net loss attributable to Coty Inc. common stockholders per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Coty Inc. less any dividends on Convertible Series B Preferred Stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss attributable to Coty Inc. common stockholders per common share assuming dilution (“diluted EPS”) is computed by adjusting the numerator used in basic EPS to add back the dividends applicable to the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and using the basic EPS weighted-average number of common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period as the denominator. Potentially dilutive securities consist of non-qualified stock options, Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, RSUs, unvested restricted stock awards and potential shares resulting from the conversion of the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The dilutive effect of the outstanding instruments, excluding the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the if-converted method. Net loss attributable to Coty Inc. is adjusted through the application of the two-class method of income per share to reflect a portion of the periodic adjustment of the redemption value in excess of fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. 63 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) There is no excess of redemption value over fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018. In addition, there are no participating securities requiring the application of the two-class method of income per share. Reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is presented below: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2018 Amounts attributable to Coty Inc.: Net loss from continuing operations $ ( 1,093.9 ) $ ( 3,905.2 ) $ ( 403.3 ) Convertible Series B Preferred Stock dividends ( 6.5 ) — — Net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders ( 1,100.4 ) ( 3,905.2 ) ( 403.3 ) Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax 87.2 121.0 234.5 Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ ( 1,013.2 ) $ ( 3,784.2 ) $ ( 168.8 ) Weighted-average common shares outstanding: Weighted-average common shares outstanding—Basic 759.1 751.2 749.7 Effect of dilutive stock options and Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock (a) — — — Effect of restricted stock and RSUs (b) — — — Effect of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (c) — — — Weighted-average common shares outstanding—Diluted 759.1 751.2 749.7 (Loss) Earnings per common share (Loss) from continued operations per common share - basic $ ( 1.45 ) $ ( 5.20 ) $ ( 0.54 ) (Loss) from continued operations per common share - diluted $ ( 1.45 ) $ ( 5.20 ) $ ( 0.54 ) Earnings from discontinued operations - basic $ 0.12 $ 0.16 $ 0.31 Earnings from discontinued operations - diluted $ 0.12 $ 0.16 $ 0.31 (Loss) per common share - basic $ ( 1.33 ) $ ( 5.04 ) $ ( 0.23 ) (Loss) per common share - diluted $ ( 1.33 ) $ ( 5.04 ) $ ( 0.23 ) (a) As of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, outstanding stock options and Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock with purchase or conversion rights to purchase shares of common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share due to the net loss incurred during the period. (b) As of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, RSUs were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share due to the net loss incurred during the period. (c) As of June 30, 2020, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share due to the net loss incurred during the period. 26. LEGAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters The Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation, administrative and other legal proceedings, including regulatory actions, incidental or related to its business, including consumer class or collective actions, personal injury (including asbestos related claims), intellectual property, competition, compliance and advertising claims litigation and disputes, among others (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). While the Company cannot predict any final outcomes relating thereto, management believes that the outcome of current Legal Proceedings will not have a material effect upon its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of the Company’s securities. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current Legal Proceedings is ongoing, and could change in light of the discovery of additional facts with respect to Legal Proceedings not presently known to the Company, further legal analysis, or determinations by 64 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) judges, arbitrators, juries or other finders of fact or deciders of law which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the probable liability or outcome of such Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the Company is in discussions with regulators, including discussions initiated by the Company, about actual or potential violations of law in order to remediate or mitigate associated legal or compliance risks and liabilities or penalties. As the outcomes of such proceedings are unpredictable, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of its securities. Certain Litigation . A purported stockholder class action complaint concerning the tender offer by Cottage Holdco B.V. (the “Cottage Tender Offer”) and the Schedule 14D-9, captioned Rumsey v. Coty, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-00650-LPS, was filed by a putative stockholder against the Company and certain current and former directors of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, but has not yet been served. The plaintiff alleges that the Company’s Schedule 14D-9 omits certain information, including, among other things, certain financial data and certain analyses underlying the opinion of Centerview Partners LLC. The plaintiff asserts claims under the federal securities laws and seeks, among other things, injunctive and/or monetary relief. A second consolidated purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint concerning the Cottage Tender Offer and the Schedule 14D-9 is pending against certain current and former directors of the Company, JAB Holding Company, S.à.r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The case, which was filed on May 6, 2019, was captioned Massachusetts Laborers’ Pension Fund v. Harf et.al., Case No. 2019-0336-AGB. On June 14, 2019, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a Verified Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (“Amended Complaint”). After defendants responded to the Amended Complaint, on October 21, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), alleging that the directors and JAB Holding Company, S.à.r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders and breached the Stockholders Agreement. The Second Amended Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On November 21, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss certain claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint, and certain of the director defendants also answered the complaint. On May 7, 2020, plaintiffs stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of JAB Holding Company, S.à.r.l. from the action. On August 17, 2020, the court denied the remaining motions to dismiss. This case remains at an early stage. Brazilian Tax Assessments In connection with a local tax audit of one of the Company’s subsidiaries in Brazil, the Company was notified of tax assessments issued in March of 2018. The assessments relate to local sales tax credits, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly registered for 2016-2017 tax periods. These tax assessments, including estimated interest and penalties, through June 30, 2020 amount to a total R$ 249.0 million (approximately $ 46.1 as of June 30, 2020). Additionally, the Company received tax assessments related to tax years 2017-2019 during August 2020. These additional tax assessments, including estimated interest and penalties, through June 30, 2020 amount to a total R$ 579.0 million (approximately $ 107.1 as of June 30, 2020). The Company is seeking a favorable administrative decision on the tax enforcement actions filed by the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and it has not recognized a loss for these assessments as the Company does not believe a loss is probable. Other Commitments At June 30, 2020, the aggregate future minimum purchase obligations which include commitments to purchase inventory and other services agreements, including amounts related to discontinued operations, were as follows: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, Purchase Obligations 2021 $ 242.5 2022 76.7 2023 33.7 2024 22.4 2025 1.2 Thereafter — Total $ 376.5 65 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 27. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Performance Guarantee In connection with the sales of certain businesses, the Company has assigned its rights and obligations under a real estate lease to JAB Partners LLP . The remaining term of this lease is approximately 11 years. While the Company is no longer the primary obligor under this lease, the lessor has not completely released the Company from its obligation, and holds it secondarily liable in the event that the assignee defaults on the lease. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make, if the assignee was to default as of June 30, 2020, would be approximately $ 5.6 . The Company has assessed the probability of default by the assignee and has determined it to be remote. Relationship with KKR As noted previously, in fiscal 2020 KKR Aggregator purchased Series B Preferred Stock. This preferred stock conveys to KKR Aggregator the right to designate two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors and voting rights on an as-converted basis. Assuming full conversion of the preferred stock and no other changes to the Company’s capitalization, KKR Aggregator would be the second largest shareholder, with a 17 % stake. In June of 2020, KKR Bidco and Coty entered into a separate definitive agreement regarding a strategic transaction (“Wella Transaction”) for the sale of the Company’s Professional and Retail Hair business. KKR will own 60 % of this separately managed entity and Coty will own the remaining 40 %. During fiscal 2020, fees of $ 25.5 were paid to KKR in connection with the initial and subsequent closings of the Series B Preferred Stock; these fees reduced the carrying value of the stock. The Company also entered into agreements with KKR for potential consulting and advisory services. No fees were incurred under such agreements in fiscal 2020. From time to time, certain funds held by KKR may hold the Company’s Notes. These funds may receive principal and interest payments on the same terms as other investors in the Company’s Notes. Consulting Services and Other Arrangements The Company had engaged certain affiliates of JAB to provide us with marketing technology services on customary market terms. As of June 30, 2020, these arrangements were no longer in effect. In addition, our former subsidiary, Beamly, entered into service agreements with affiliates of JAB for the provision of digital media services on customary market terms. Fees under each of these arrangements totaled less than $ 1.0 in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Beatrice Ballini, a director, serves as a senior member of the Retail Practice and a leader of the Board and CEO Advisory Partners group at Russell Reynolds Associates. From time to time, the Company has engaged Russell Reynolds Associates, a global leadership and search firm, for recruiting assistance. The amounts of such services provided to the Company for fiscal 2020 and 2019 were $ 0.6 and $ 0.1 , respectively. In connection with the appointment of Fiona Hughes as our Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer Beauty, the Company agreed in principle to a secondment arrangement with Jacobs Douwe Egberts B.V., an affiliate of JAB, for the reimbursement of certain employment-related expenses through a transition period that ended February 2020. The amount of such reimbursement was approximately $ 0.6 for fiscal 2020. 66 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 28.
