MacAndrews & Forbes, Revlon's parent company, which is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman, has agreed to purchase its pro rata share (or approximately 61%) of the $107 million of Class A common stock covered by the rights offering, which share MacAndrews & Forbes would otherwise have been entitled to subscribe for in the rights offering pursuant to its basic subscription privilege.
Although MacAndrews & Forbes would otherwise be entitled to an over-subscription privilege, it will agree not to exercise its over-subscription privilege, which will maximize the shares available for purchase by other stockholders pursuant to their over-subscription privileges.
In the event the rights offering is not fully subscribed after stockholders other than MacAndrews & Forbes exercise their basic and over-subscription privileges, MacAndrews & Forbes will have the right, but not the obligation, pursuant to a private placement agreement, to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock, at the rights offering subscription price.
