Revlon Announces Pricing of New Senior Notes due 2011

Company Announces Increased Offering

NEW YORK, March 11, 2005 — Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("RCPC"), has priced its previously-announced offering of Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Notes"). The interest rate on the Notes has been set at 9½% and the transaction has been increased to $310 million, from the initially-announced $205 million, in response to investor demand. The transaction is expected to close on March 16, 2005. The closing of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions and there can be no assurances that the transaction will be consummated.

The net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used by RCPC (i) to retire all of the $116.2 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2006 and all of the $75.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 9% Senior Notes due 2006, (ii) to pay related fees and expenses, including accrued interest and, with respect to the 9% Senior Notes, the applicable premium, and (iii) due to the increased size of the transaction, RCPC expects to use a portion of the net proceeds to prepay, and permanently reduce, a portion of the term loan facility of RCPC's credit agreement, together with the applicable prepayment fee associated with such prepayment. Any remaining balance will be available for general corporate purposes.

This press release does not constitute a call for redemption of the 8 1/8% Senior Notes or the 9% Senior Notes. The Notes will be sold only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A, and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proposed issuance of the Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities mentioned in this press release in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
