Procter & Gamble Commences P&G Specialty Beauty Brands Exchange Offer

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced today the commencement
of an exchange offer for the separation of its global fine fragrances,
salon professional, cosmetics and retail hair color businesses, along
with select hair styling brands (collectively referred to as “P&G
Specialty Beauty Brands”).

This represents the next step in the proposed tax-efficient Reverse
Morris Trust transaction with Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) announced on July
9, 2015. In the proposed split-off transaction, P&G will transfer the
assets and liabilities of P&G Specialty Beauty Brands, other than
specified excluded brands, to Galleria Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of
P&G created to facilitate the transaction. Following completion of the
exchange offer, Galleria Co. will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary
of Coty and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Coty.

The exchange offer provides P&G shareholders with the opportunity to
exchange their shares of P&G common stock for shares of Galleria Co.
common stock, which will convert into shares of Coty class A common
stock upon completion of the merger. The exchange and the merger are
expected to be tax-free to participating P&G shareholders for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.

The exchange offer includes several key elements:

• P&G is offering to exchange shares of Galleria Co. common stock for
  shares of P&G common stock that are validly tendered and not properly
  withdrawn. Procedures regarding how to tender and withdraw shares will
  be specified in the exchange offer materials distributed to P&G
  shareholders.
• P&G shareholders have the opportunity to exchange all, some or none of
  their shares of P&G common stock for shares of Galleria Co. common
  stock, subject to proration if the exchange offer is oversubscribed.
  Each share of Galleria Co. common stock will automatically convert
  into the right to receive one share of Coty class A common stock upon
  completion of the merger, which is expected to occur as promptly as
  practicable following completion of the exchange offer.
• Tendering P&G shareholders are expected to receive approximately
  $1.075 of Galleria Co. common stock for every $1.00 of P&G common
  stock tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, subject to an upper
  limit described below.
• P&G expects to issue 409,726,299 shares of Galleria Co. common stock
  in the exchange offer. The number of shares of P&G common stock that
  will be accepted in the exchange offer will depend on the final
  exchange ratio and the number of shares of P&G common stock tendered
  and not properly withdrawn.
• The exchange offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00
  midnight, Eastern Daylight (New York City) Time, on September 29,
  2016, unless extended or terminated.
• Galleria Co. common stock will not be delivered to participants in the
  exchange offer. Participants will instead receive shares of Coty class
  A common stock in connection with the merger. No trading market
  currently exists or will ever exist for shares of Galleria Co. common
  stock.

The exchange offer is designed to permit P&G shareholders to exchange
their shares of P&G common stock for shares of Galleria Co. common stock
at a discount of 7.0 percent, with the price of Galleria Co. common
stock established by P&G as described below, subject to an upper limit
of 3.9033 shares of Galleria Co. common stock per share of P&G common
stock. P&G will determine the prices at which shares of P&G common stock
and shares of Galleria Co. common stock will be exchanged by reference
to the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average
prices of shares of P&G common stock and shares of Coty class A common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange during a period of three
consecutive trading days ending on and including the second clear
trading day preceding the last day of the exchange offer.

The final exchange ratio showing the number of shares of Galleria Co.
common stock (which will immediately be converted, on a one for one
basis, into the right to receive shares of Coty class A common stock)
that P&G shareholders participating in the exchange offer will receive
for each share of P&G common stock accepted for exchange will be
announced at www.dfking.com/pg
and separately by press release no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern
Daylight (New York City) Time, on the trading day immediately preceding
the expiration date. P&G will also announce at that time whether the
upper limit on the number of shares of Galleria Co. common stock that
can be received for each share of P&G common stock tendered is in effect.

The exchange offer will be subject to proration if the exchange offer is
oversubscribed, and the number of shares of P&G common stock accepted in
the exchange offer may be fewer than the number of shares tendered. If
the exchange offer is consummated but not fully subscribed, P&G will
distribute all of the shares of Galleria Co. common stock it continues
to own as a pro rata dividend to all P&G shareholders whose shares of
P&G common stock remain outstanding and have not been accepted for
exchange in the exchange offer.

As promptly as practicable following completion of the exchange offer
and, if necessary, the pro rata dividend, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Coty will merge with and into Galleria Co., with Galleria Co. surviving
the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Coty. The
transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including a
minimum tender condition. As a result of the exchange offer, the number
of outstanding shares of P&G common stock will be reduced.

Prior to the merger, JAB Cosmetics B.V., the holder of all outstanding
shares of Coty class B common stock, will convert its shares of Coty
class B common stock into shares of Coty class A common stock, after
which the class A common stock will be Coty’s only class of common stock
outstanding. Following this conversion and the merger, the shares of
Coty class A common stock issued in the merger are expected to represent
approximately 55 percent of the shares of Coty common stock that will be
outstanding after the merger.

with the merger.
