On January 3, 2020, Avon Products, Inc. (“Avon”) consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Mergers, dated as of May 22, 2019 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), among Avon, Natura Cosméticos S.A., Natura &Co Holding S.A. (“Natura &Co”), Nectarine Merger Sub I, Inc. and Nectarine Merger Sub II, Inc., as amended by Amendment Number One to Agreement and Plan of Mergers, dated as of October 3, 2019, and Amendment Number Two to Agreement and Plan of Mergers, dated as of November 5, 2019.

 

On January 6, 2020, the New York Stock Exchange LLC filed a Form 25 to remove Avon’s Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share, from listing and registration pursuant to 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement Avon has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co and, as such, has fewer than 300 record holders. Therefore, Avon’s Section 15(d) reporting obligation for its Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share, has been suspended pursuant to Rule 12g-4(a)(1) and Rule 12h-3(b)(1)(i).

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Avon Products, Inc. has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.

 

Date: January 24, 2020 By: /s/ Ginny Edwards
