INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 28, 2006, Avon Products, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Japanese Yen 11.0 billion Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (“Lender”), which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Avon’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 31, 2006.

On August 6, 2007, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with the Lender (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for the extension of the Japanese Yen 11.0 billion uncommitted credit facility until August 28, 2008. All other terms of the Agreement remain unchanged.

The uncommitted facility is available for general corporate purposes, including working capital and the repayment of outstanding indebtedness. Amounts may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed by the Company from time to time on or prior to August 28, 2008. Voluntary prepayments by the Company under the Agreement are permitted at any time without fee, other than customary break funding costs, upon proper notice. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Company and Lender, borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at the Lender’s Yen LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin.

The Agreement includes events of default, which are customary for uncommitted facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable), including provisions under which, upon the occurrence of an event of default, all outstanding loans under the Agreement may be accelerated. Also under such provisions, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Agreement shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

The Lender provides or has provided a variety of financial services to the Company and its affiliates, including investment banking, cash management, credit facilities and interest rate and foreign exchange derivative arrangements.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Amendment, and reference is made to the complete text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Accordingly, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

  1. Amendment. In Section 1 of the Agreement, the reference to the date “August 28, 2007” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new date: “August 28, 2008”.

  3.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by each party hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by telecopy or other electronic means shall be deemed to be an original. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401-1 of the general obligations law), but without regard to any other conflicts of law provisions thereof. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment or are given any substantive effect.
