Equity [Abstract]  
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Series C Convertible Preferred Stock On March 1, 2016, the Company issued and sold to Cerberus Investor 435,000 shares of newly issued series C preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of $435 pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2015, between the Company and Cerberus Investor. In connection with the issuance of the series C preferred stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $8.7, comprised of financial advisory fees and legal expenses, which reduced the carrying value of the series C preferred stock. Cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the series C preferred stock at a rate of 1.25% per quarter. The series C preferred stock had accrued unpaid dividends of $91.3 as of December 31, 2019. There were no dividends paid in relation to the series C preferred stock in the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
On December 19, 2019, the Company and Natura &Co Holding announced that as of such date, all regulatory approvals required by the Merger Agreement to complete the Transactions have been obtained. As a result, the series C preferred stock were probable of becoming redeemable and the redemption value was adjusted. Subsequently, on December 30, 2019, Cerberus elected to convert the series C preferred stock, as described below, and the series C preferred stock was no longer probable of becoming redeemable. We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and the carrying value of the security is adjusted to equal what the redemption amount would be as if redemption were to occur at the end of the reporting date based on the conditions that exist as of that date. As a result, we recognized an increase of $60.9 in the carrying value of the series C preferred stock for the year ended December 31, 2019.
On December 30, 2019, Cerberus elected to convert 435,000 shares of series C preferred stock, representing all shares of series C preferred stock outstanding, into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value U.S.$0.25 per share, pursuant to the holder of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock’s rights under the Company’s certificate of incorporation. The foregoing election is conditioned upon the filing of the certificates of merger with respect to the First Merger (the "Conversion Condition").
On January 3, 2020, the Company consummated a transaction to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. Upon consummation of the transaction, the Company's common stock was converted to Natura &Co Holding common stock. Natura &Co Holding subsequently paid the accrued dividend of $91.5 to Cerberus in January 2020. See Note 23, Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A., and Note 24, Subsequent Events.
Dividend Rights. The series C preferred stock ranks senior to the shares of our common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. The series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, representing an aggregate liquidation preference of $435.0 upon issuance. Holders of series C preferred stock are entitled to participate on an as-converted basis in any dividends paid to the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the series C preferred stock and are payable at a rate of 1.25% per quarter (net of any dividends on the Company’s common stock and subject to increase up to a maximum rate of 5.00% per quarter if the Company breaches certain obligations). Except to the extent not otherwise previously paid by the Company, preferred dividends are payable on the seventh anniversary of the issuance date of the series C preferred stock as and when declared by the Board of Directors and at the end of each quarter thereafter. Accrued and unpaid preferred dividends may be paid, at the Company’s option, (i) in cash, (ii) subject to certain conditions, in shares of the Company’s common stock or (iii) upon conversion of shares of series C preferred stock, in shares of the Company’s non-voting, non-convertible Series D Preferred Stock. Any such shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued would have similar preferential rights.
