This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Coty Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) and amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on June 12, 2020 (the “Original Schedule”, and as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Original Schedule. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule.

This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by:

(i) KKR Rainbow Aggregator L.P., a Delaware limited partnership;

(ii) KKR Rainbow Aggregator GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company;

(iii) KKR European Fund V (USD) SCSp, a société en commandite spéciale governed by the laws of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;

(iv) KKR Associates Europe V SCSp, a société en commandite spéciale governed by the laws of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;

(v) KKR Europe V S.a r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée governed by the laws of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;

(vi) KKR Europe V Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted limited company;

(vii) KKR Group Partnership L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership;

(viii) KKR Group Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation;

(ix) KKR & Co. Inc., a Delaware corporation;

(xi) Henry R. Kravis, a United States citizen; and

(xii) George R. Roberts, a United States citizen (the persons and entities listed in items (i) through (xii) are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”).

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The fourth paragraph of Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Ms. Nancy Ford, an executive of KKR, was appointed as a member of the board of directors of the Issuer effective July 31, 2020.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Paragraphs (a) -(c) of Item 5 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

The information set forth in the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(a) and (b). The Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at a rate of 9.0% per annum, accruing daily and payable quarterly in arrears, subject to adjustment as described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof into (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of the liquidation preference and any accrued dividends with respect to such share of Series B Preferred Stock as of the applicable conversion date divided by (B) the conversion price as of the applicable conversion date plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares. The initial conversion price is a dollar amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial conversion rate of 160.2564, or approximately $6.24 per share. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain customary events in accordance with the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designations. Dividends will be payable in cash, by increasing the amount of accrued dividends with respect to a share of Series B Preferred Stock, or any combination thereof, at the sole discretion of the Issuer.

All of the computations and share amounts used herein do not give effect to any accretion on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock after the date of filing. As a result of its beneficial ownership of Series B Preferred Stock, including the accretion of dividends thereon as of the date of filing, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 166,514,208 shares of Class A Common Stock which would be received upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock as of the date hereof, which represents, in the aggregate, approximately 17.9% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designations, due to accretion of dividends, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock may be converted may increase over time.

The percentage of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D is based on 765,902,896 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 30, 2020 as set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer on November 6, 2020.

Each of KKR Rainbow Aggregator GP LLC (as the general partner of KKR Rainbow Aggregator L.P.), KKR European Fund V (USD) SCSp (as the sole member of KKR Rainbow Aggregator GP LLC), KKR Associates Europe V SCSp (as the general partner of KKR European Fund V (USD) SCSp), KKR Europe V S.a r.l. (as the general partner of KKR Associates Europe V SCSp), KKR Europe V Holdings Limited (as the sole shareholder of KKR Europe V S.a r.l.), KKR Group Partnership L.P. (as the sole member of KKR Europe V Holdings Limited), KKR Group Holdings Corp. (as the general partner of KKR Group Partnership L.P.), KKR & Co. Inc. (as the sole shareholder of KKR Group Holdings Corp.), KKR Management LLP (as the Series I preferred stockholder of KKR & Co. Inc.), and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts (as the founding partners of KKR Management LLP) may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned directly by KKR Rainbow Aggregator L.P.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the above-listed entities or individuals is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the individuals named in Item 2 beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock except as described herein.

(c) Except as otherwise described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other individual named in Item 2 has engaged in any transaction in any shares of Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 16, 2020, KKR Rainbow Aggregator, L.P. and certain of its affiliated investment funds (the “KKR Sellers”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with HFS Holdings S.a r.l. (the “Purchaser”), an entity affiliated with Peter Harf, Chairman of the Board of the Issuer, pursuant to which the parties agreed, subject to the terms and conditions listed therein, including expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, that KKR Rainbow Aggregator, L.P. would distribute 146,057 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the KKR Sellers and the KKR Sellers would sell such shares for a price of approximately $1,027, per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000,539, to Purchaser, with any dividends accruing or paid on such shares prior to the closing of the sale payable to the Purchaser. The closing of the sale is expected to occur on August 27, 2021.

9. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless such waiver is in writing, specifically references the provision being waived and is signed by the party against whom the waiver is being enforced.

10. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

11. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time prior to the Closing by mutual agreement of the parties hereto. Any amendment, modification or revision of this Agreement will be effective only if in a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including counterparts transmitted via facsimile or in .pdf or similar format) with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto and those documents expressly referred to herein to which Buyer is a party and the other documents related to the subject matter hereof, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersede all previous written, oral or implied understandings among them with respect to such matters.

17. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

18. Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement, including all claims or disputes (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, including statutes of limitation.

19. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Any Action involving any party to this Agreement arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, including all disputes (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (and the Complex Commercial Litigation Division thereof if such division has jurisdiction over the particular matter) or, if the Superior Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware) (together with the appellate courts thereof, the “Chosen Courts”) and each of the parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the purpose of any such Action. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to assert (a) any objection which it may ever have to the laying of venue of any such Action in any Chosen Court, (b) any claim that any such Action brought in any Chosen Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (c) any claim that any Chosen Court does not have personal jurisdiction over any party with respect to such Action. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such Action in such courts by the mailing of

such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth on the signature pages hereto. The parties agree that any judgment entered by any Chosen Court may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

20. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to a trial by jury and agrees that any of them may file a copy of this Section 20 with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained-for agreement among the parties irrevocably to waive its right to trial by jury in any Action.

21. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party.

22. Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall cooperate with one another at all times to do, or procure the doing of, all acts and things, and execute, or procure the execution of, all documents and instruments, as may reasonably be required to give full effect to this Agreement.

To inform each Seller, as defined in that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2020 (the “PSA”), that withholding of tax is not required upon the acquisition on the date hereof of 146,057 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Coty Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), pursuant to the PSA, the undersigned hereby certifies the following:

This certificate is provided pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h).

The Company’s address and taxpayer identification number is:

350 Fifth Avenue

New York, NY 10118

TIN: 13-3823358

As of the date hereof, the Company is not nor has it been a U.S. real property holding corporation (as defined in section 897(c)(2) of the Code) during the applicable period specified in section 897(c) of the Code.

The Company is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and further I declare that I have the authority to sign this document on behalf of the Company.
