Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, Coty Inc. (the “Company”) is a nominal defendant in a consolidated purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint concerning the tender offer by Cottage Holdco B.V. (the “Cottage Tender Offer”) and the Schedule 14D-9 brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

On March 29, 2023, the Company, the other named defendants, and the Plaintiffs entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement (the “Stipulation of Settlement”). The Stipulation of Settlement calls for the Company to adopt certain governance changes and for defendants, through their insurers and JAB, to pay $35,000,000. The settlement is subject to approval by the Court.

As required by the Stipulation of Settlement and the Court’s scheduling order, the Company is filing the Notice of Proposed Settlement of Derivative Action (the “Notice”) with this Current Report on Form 8-K, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On April 7, 2023, the Company also posted a copy of the Notice and the Stipulation of Settlement to the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.

The information disclosed under this Item 8.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth in such filing.
