Regulatory News:
The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)(Paris:PGP) announced
today that the final proration factor of 15.0123% for its exchange
offer in connection with the separation of P&G’s global fine
fragrances, salon professional, cosmetics and retail hair color
businesses, along with select hair styling brands (collectively,
“P&G Specialty Beauty Brands”). A total of 690,798,524 shares
of P&G common stock were validly tendered in exchange for
409,726,299 shares of common stock of Galleria Co., the corporation
formed to hold P&G Specialty Beauty Brands. The exchange offer
successfully closed on September 30, 2016.
Galleria Co. was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of P&G.
On October 1, 2016, pursuant to the previously announced merger,
Galleria Co. merged with and into a subsidiary of Coty Inc.
(NYSE:COTY) and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Coty.
Pursuant to the exchange offer and based on the final count by
the exchange agent, a total of 690,798,524 shares of P&G common
stock were tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer,
including 1,487,419 shares of P&G common stock tendered by
odd-lot shareholders not subject to proration, whose shares were
fully accepted in the exchange offer. All remaining tendered shares
of P&G common stock were accepted in the exchange offer on a
pro rata basis using the final proration factor of 15.0123%. Shares
of P&G common stock tendered but not exchanged due to proration
will be returned to tendering shareholders.
Under the terms of the exchange offer, fractional shares of Coty
common stock will not be issued. Instead, fractional shares will be
aggregated and sold, and the net cash proceeds of such sale will be
distributed to tendering P&G shareholders otherwise entitled to
fractional interests.
