Exhibit 99.1

COTY INC. TO OFFER SENIOR SECURED NOTES

NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 19, 2023—Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (“Coty”), one of the world’s largest beauty companies with a portfolio of iconic brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skin and body care, today announced that it, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HFC Prestige Products, Inc. and HFC Prestige International U.S. LLC (the “Co-Issuers” and collectively with Coty, the “Issuers”), intend to launch a benchmark size offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”), subject to market and customary conditions. The interest rates and other key terms of the offering will be determined at the time of pricing.

The Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Issuers and will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of Coty’s subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuers) that guarantee, and will be secured by first priority liens on the same collateral that secures, Coty’s obligations under the existing senior secured credit facilities and under the existing senior secured notes. The collateral security will be released upon the Notes achieving investment grade ratings from two out of the three ratings agencies.

Coty intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of the U.S. dollar-denominated loans outstanding under Coty’s existing senior secured “term B” credit facility due April 2025 and to pay any related premiums, fees and expenses thereto. Coty will use cash on hand to pay the offering expenses in connection with the offering. The remainder of the term loan B is targeted to be fully prepaid by calendar year end 2023 with a combination of cash generated from operations and revolving credit facility liquidity.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A, and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the Notes and the related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sales of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
