Explanation of Responses:

1. In connection with the admission of certain third parties into investment vehicles affiliated with the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have disposed of a portion of their pecuniary interest in shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock") of Coty Inc. (the "Issuer") at $1,000 per share, the initial purchase price of the Series B Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that corresponds to the admission of third parties described above was equal to approximately 179,500 shares and 4,785 shares on July 28, 2020 and July 30, 2020, respectively, or approximately 28,766,024 and 766,827 underlying shares of Class A common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, of the Issuer (the "Class A Common Stock"), respectively, based on the current conversion rate of such Series B Preferred Stock and the initial liquidation preference of such shares.

2. KKR Rainbow Aggregator, L.P. continues to beneficially own all 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 750,000 of which have been held since the initial closing of the Series B Preferred Stock investment on May 26, 2020 and 250,000 which will be delivered at a second closing of the investment, expected to occur on or about July 31, 2020.

3. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder thereof and has no stated maturity. The Series B Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely unless converted, repurchased or redeemed by the Issuer. The Issuer may mandatorily convert any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock at any time after the three-year anniversary of the issuance, if certain conditions are met.

4. Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into (i) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of the liquidation preference and any accrued dividends with respect to such share of Series B Preferred Stock as of the applicable conversion date divided by (B) the conversion price as of the applicable conversion date plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares, subject to any limitations imposed by the change of control provision under New York Stock Exchange Rule 312.03(d) unless the Issuer has obtained prior stockholder approval, and if such approval has not been obtained, the Issuer will deliver cash in lieu of any shares of Class A Common Stock not deliverable. The initial conversion price is a dollar amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial conversion rate of 160.2564, or approximately $6.24 per share, and is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

5. The 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock reported herein have an initial liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of 9.0% per annum, accruing daily and payable quarterly in arrears, which shall increase by 1.0% on the seven year anniversary of the issuance date and shall increase by an additional 1.0% on each subsequent anniversary up to a maximum of 12.0%, which dividends will be payable in cash, by increasing the amount of accrued dividends with respect to a share of Series B Preferred Stock, or any combination thereof, at the sole discretion of the Issuer.
