MATERIAL FACT
Bankruptcy court approves global settlement and purchase of Avon assets in Avon Products, Inc.’s Chapter 11 proceeding
Natura &Co Holding S.A. (B3: NTCO3) (“Natura &Co” or “Company”), in complement to the material fact issued on November 27, 2024, hereby announces to its shareholders and the market that the court overseeing Avon Products, Inc. and its affiliated debtors´ located in the United States (the “Avon Debtors”) Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the United States (the “Bankruptcy Proceedings”) approved (i) the global settlement agreement agreed upon between the Company and the Official Committee of Unsecured of the Avon Debtors; and (ii) the sale of the Avon operations outside the United Sates (the “ex-US Avon Operations”) to the Company through a credit bid of USD 125 million. Effectiveness of the settlement and sale approval remains subject to entry of orders on the bankruptcy court docket.
The final documentation of the global settlement agreement confirms the settlement terms announced on November 27, 2024 under which the Company agreed to (i) pay to the Avon Debtors’ estates USD 34 million in cash; (ii) disburse the pre-petition debtor-in-possession financing (DIP) amount of USD 43 million; and (iii) waive all of the Company´s secured and unsecured credits against the Avon Debtors, except for USD 125 million, which was used as consideration to purchase the ex-US Avon Operation. The effects of the waiver of the secured and unsecured claims against the Avon Debtors have already been disclosed in the 3Q24 results of the Company. The accounting effects of the waiver of the secured and unsecured claims against the Avon Debtors have already fully impacted the Company's 3Q24 results.
Whilst the closing of the sale of certain markets of the ex-US Avon Operations remains subject to regulatory approvals, Avon´s results will be re-consolidated into the Company´s financial statements as of December 4, 2024.
In line with Company’s strategy to simplify its corporate structure and to provide its businesses with greater autonomy to operate, the Company announces that it will resume the studies on the previously announced strategic alternatives for Avon outside Latin America. These studies may include a potential separation, sale or partnerships.
