Procter & Gamble Sets Final Exchange Ratio of 3.9033 for P&G Specialty Beauty Brands Exchange Offer

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced today that the final
exchange ratio for its exchange offer for shares of P&G common stock
will be 3.9033 shares of common stock of Galleria Co. for each share of
P&G common stock accepted in the exchange offer. The split-off
transaction is a key step in the previously announced separation from
P&G 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”). In the
proposed 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 subsidiary of Coty Inc. (NYSE: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. Each share of Galleria Co. common stock will be converted
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.

P&G is offering 409,726,299 shares of Galleria Co. common stock for
shares of P&G common stock. Based on the final exchange ratio, P&G will
accept for exchange a maximum of 104,969,205 shares of P&G common stock
in the exchange offer.

P&G shareholders who tender their shares of P&G common stock in the
exchange offer will receive approximately 3.9033 shares of Coty class A
common stock (subject to receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares)
for each share of P&G common stock accepted for exchange. The exchange
and the merger are expected to be tax-free to participating P&G
shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The final calculated per-share value of the shares of P&G common stock
and the final calculated per-share value of the shares of Galleria Co.
common stock, in each case determined in the manner described in the
Prospectus dated September 1, 2016 (the “Prospectus”), would have
resulted in an exchange ratio higher than the upper limit of 3.9033.
Accordingly, the final exchange ratio has been set at 3.9033 shares of
Galleria Co. common stock for each share of P&G common stock accepted in
the exchange offer. Based on the calculated per-share value of P&G
common stock and the calculated per-share value of Galleria Co. common
stock, in each case determined in the manner described in the
Prospectus, tendering P&G shareholders will receive approximately $1.042
of Coty class A common stock for each $1.00 of P&G common stock accepted
in the exchange offer.

The exchange offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight
(the last minute of the day), Eastern Daylight (New York City) Time, on
September 29, 2016, unless extended or terminated.

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 completed 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 the exchange offer is completed but is not fully subscribed, the
subsequent pro rata dividend of all remaining shares of Galleria Co.
common stock to the remaining P&G shareholders, 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.
