If a sufficient number of shares are not available to fully satisfy the over-subscription privilege requests, the available shares will be sold pro-rata among subscription rights holders who exercised their over-subscription privilege, based on the number of shares each subscription rights holder subscribed for under the basic subscription privilege. The proceeds from the rights offering are expected to be used, together with available cash, to redeem approximately $110 million aggregate principal amount of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("RCPC See Regional Check Processing Center.

While Revlon cannot provide assurances that a trading market will develop, the subscription rights are expected to trade on the NYSE beginning February 22, 2006 under the symbol "REV RT". M&F, Revlon's majority stockholder, which is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman, has agreed not to exercise its basic subscription privilege. Instead, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between M&F and Revlon, M&F has agreed to purchase, in a private placement directly from Revlon, the shares of the Class A common stock that it would otherwise have been entitled en·ti·tle tr.v. en·ti·tled, en·ti·tling, en·ti·tles 1.

M&F has also agreed not to exercise its over-subscription privilege in the rights offering, which will maximize the shares available for purchase by other stockholders pursuant to their over-subscription privileges. However, if any shares remain following the exercise of the basic subscription privilege and the over-subscription privilege by other rights holders, M&F will back-stop the rights offering by purchasing, also in a private placement directly from Revlon, the remaining shares of Class A common stock offered but not purchased by other rights holders. As a result of this back-stop, Revlon is assured of raising $110 million in gross proceeds, through a combination of the rights offering and the sale of shares in the private placement including, if necessary, the back-stop, to M&F. The rights offering materials, including a prospectus supplement and the subscription rights certificates, are being mailed on or about February 17, 2006 to stockholders of record as of the Record Date. The prospectus supplement will contain important information about the rights offering. Stockholders are urged to read the prospectus supplement when it becomes available.
