Coty Inc. Announces Acquisition of Dr. Scheller Cosmetics AG

Beauty Company Acquires Leading Cosmetic Producer in Germany Furthering its Expansion in Color Cosmetics

NEW YORK, November 12, 2010 - Coty Inc., one of the world's largest fragrance and leading global beauty
companies, and Kalina Group, a leading Russian cosmetic company, today
announced that Coty has entered into an agreement with Kalina to acquire 100%
of the shares of Dr. Scheller Cosmetics AG and its subsidiaries (DSC), which
are currently detained by Kalina.

The acquisition further enhances Coty Beauty's flourishing color
portfolio through the addition of DSC's leading German makeup brand,
Manhattan and its anti-acne cosmetic brand, Manhattan Clearface. With the
addition of DSC's Manhattan products, Coty becomes the second largest player
in the German color market.

Coty will leverage DSC's current distribution channels for its existing
products including Astor, Rimmel and Esprit Cosmetics. With this acquisition,
Coty's market share in the color cosmetics category in Germany will increase
from 7 percent to 17 percent. Globally, the color cosmetics pillar will
represent 25 percent of Coty's total portfolio. It also paves the way for
Coty to achieve its goal of becoming a $7 billion beauty company by 2015.

"The acquisition of Dr. Scheller Cosmetics is a natural extension of our
strategy to offer a well balanced portfolio of brands, representing some of
the leading consumer products in Germany," said Bernd Beetz, CEO, Coty Inc.
"Their well established brand, high-quality products, market presence and
loyal consumers will complement and add value to Coty's existing offerings."

"We are proud of what we've been able to accomplish since acquiring Dr.
Scheller Cosmetics AG, restructuring the company and bringing it to
profitability," said Alexander Petrov, CEO of OJSC Concern "KALINA". "We are
confident that the company will continue to grow under Coty's leadership.
However, we will continue to maintain ownership of Dr. Scheller Das
Naturkonzept product line, which we intend to grow as an international
brand."

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is
also subject to certain merger control approvals
