Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 8, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), Coty Inc. (“Coty”) entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 1 (the “Incremental Agreement”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2015, by and among Coty, the borrowers party thereto from time to time, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other agents from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), with Coty B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the “Dutch Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of Coty party thereto, the incremental lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

The Incremental Agreement provides for an additional €140,000,000 in term A loan commitments and an additional €325,000,000 in term B loan commitments under the Credit Agreement (together, the “New Loans”), all of which were borrowed by the Dutch Borrower as of the Closing Date. The proceeds of the New Loans were used by the Dutch Borrower to refinance certain intercompany indebtedness of the Dutch Borrower outstanding on the Closing Date, which funds were then used to partially repay amounts drawn on the Coty Inc. revolving credit facility. The loans made under the additional term A loan commitments have substantially identical terms to the existing term A loans under the Credit Agreement, and the loans under the additional term B loan commitments have substantially identical terms to the term B loans denominated in Euros under the Credit Agreement.
 
The summary set forth above is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Incremental Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
