SOLICITATION AND VOTING OF PROXIES; REVOCATION
All proxies duly executed and received by the Company, unless such proxies
have been previously revoked, will be voted on all matters presented at the
Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions given therein by the person
executing such proxy or, in the absence of such instructions, will be voted FOR
(1) the election to the Board of Directors of each of the eleven nominees
identified in this Proxy Statement; (2) approval of the Amended Bonus Plan; and
(3) the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company's independent

brought before the meeting. The deadline for receipt by the Secretary of the
Company of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials for
presentation at the Annual Meeting was November 12, 1999 and no proposals were
received. However, if any other matters are properly presented before the
Annual Meeting for action, in the absence of other instructions it is intended
that the persons named in the enclosed proxy and acting thereunder will vote in
accordance with their best judgment on such matters. (See "Stockholder
Proposals.")
The submission of a signed proxy will not affect a stockholder's right to
attend, or to vote in person at, the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who execute a
proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by filing a written
revocation with the Secretary of the Company at 625 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor,
New York, New York 10022, Attention: Secretary, by executing a proxy bearing a
later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY IS BEING SOLICITED ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS. Solicitation of proxies may be made by mail and also may be made
by personal interview, telephone and facsimile transmission and by directors,
officers and employees of the Company without special compensation therefor.
The Company expects to reimburse banks, brokers and other persons for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in handling proxy materials for
beneficial owners.
RECORD DATE; VOTING RIGHTS
Only holders of record of shares of the Company's Class A common stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), and Class B common stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Class B Common
<PAGE>
Stock" and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), at the
close of business on March 8, 2000 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. On the
Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 19,992,837 shares of Class A
Common Stock, each of which is entitled to one vote, and 31,250,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock, each of which is entitled to ten votes. Of that total,
11,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (or approximately 56.3% of the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock) and all of the shares of Class B
Common Stock, which together represent approximately 97.4% of the combined
voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, are beneficially owned
by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews Holdings"), a corporation
wholly owned indirectly through Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" and,
collectively with MacAndrews Holdings, "MacAndrews & Forbes") by Ronald O.
Perelman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. The presence in
person or by duly executed proxy of the holders of a majority in total number
of votes of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote
at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum in order to transact
business. MacAndrews & Forbes has informed the Company that it will vote FOR
(1) the election to the Board of Directors of each of the eleven nominees
identified in this Proxy Statement; (2) approval of the Amended Bonus Plan; and
(3) the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company's independent
auditors for 2000. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of MacAndrews & Forbes is
sufficient, without the concurring vote of any other stockholder of the
Company, to approve and adopt each of the proposals to be considered at the
Annual Meeting.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to the By-laws of the
Company, has fixed the number of directors at eleven effective as of the date
of the Annual Meeting. The directors nominated for election will be elected at
the Annual Meeting to serve until the next succeeding Annual Meeting of the
Company and until their successors are elected and shall have qualified. All of
the nominees are currently members of the Board of Directors. All nominees, if
elected, are expected to serve until the next succeeding Annual Meeting. The
proxies solicited hereby will be voted FOR the election of the nominees listed
herein.
The Board of Directors has been informed that all of the nominees are
willing to serve as directors, but if any of them should decline or be unable
to act as a director, the Board of Directors may, unless the Board by
resolution provides for a lesser number of directors, designate substitute
nominees, in which event the individuals named in the enclosed proxy will vote
for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees. The Board of Directors
has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve.
The election to the Board of Directors of each of the eleven nominees
identified in this Proxy Statement will require the affirmative vote of a
plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock present in
person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. In
tabulating the vote, abstentions will be disregarded and have no effect on the
outcome of the vote.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors has an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee and
a Compensation and Stock Plan Committee (the "Compensation Committee").
The Executive Committee consists of Messrs. Perelman, Gittis and Nugent.
The Executive Committee may exercise all of the powers and authority of the
Board, except as otherwise provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Executive Committee also serves as the Company's nominating committee for
Board membership. The Audit Committee, consisting of Mr. Landau, Professor
Feldberg and Ms. Robinson, makes recommendations to the Board of Directors
regarding the engagement of the Company's independent auditors for ratification
by the Company's stockholders, reviews the plan, scope and results of the
audit, and reviews with the auditors and management the Company's policies and
procedures with respect to internal accounting and financial controls, changes
in accounting policy and the scope of the non-audit services which may be
performed by the Company's independent auditors, among other things. The
Compensation Committee, currently consisting of Messrs. Gittis, Drapkin and
Semel and Mr. Morton Janklow, who will not be standing for re-election as a
director at the Annual Meeting, makes recommendations to the Board of Directors
regarding compensation and incentive arrangements (including performance-based
arrangements) for the Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers,
officers and other key managerial employees of the Company. The Compensation
Committee also considers and recommends awards pursuant to the Revlon, Inc.
Second Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan, which was amended and restated as
of February 12, 1999 (the "Stock Plan"), and administers such plan.

<PAGE>
During 1999, the Board of Directors held six meetings and acted once by
unanimous written consent, the Executive Committee acted four times by
unanimous written consent, the Audit Committee held five meetings and the
Compensation Committee held one meeting and acted nine times by unanimous
written consent. During 1999, all Directors (other than Mr. Semel and Ms.
Stewart) attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of
the Committees of which they were members.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors who currently are not receiving compensation as officers or
employees of the Company or any of its affiliates are paid an annual retainer
fee of $25,000, payable in quarterly installments, and a fee of $1,000 for each
meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof they attend.
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED BONUS PLAN
At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders will be asked to approve
the Amended Bonus Plan. The Revlon, Inc. Executive Bonus Plan for Revlon, Inc.
and its participating affiliates (the "Executive Bonus Plan") was adopted by
the Company's Board of Directors in connection with the Company's initial
public offering in 1996. The Board of Directors has approved the Amended Bonus
Plan, subject to approval of the Company's stockholders. The Amended Bonus Plan
is intended to serve as a qualified performance-based compensation program
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Section 162(m) limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess
of $1 million per year paid by a publicly traded corporation to the following
individuals who are employed as of the end of the corporation's tax year: the
chief executive officer and the four other executive officers named in the
summary compensation table of the corporation's proxy statement ("Covered
Employees"). Compensation that qualifies as "performance-based" compensation
is, however, exempt from the $1 million deductibility limitation. In order for
compensation granted pursuant to the Amended Bonus Plan to qualify for this
exemption, among other things, the material terms under which the compensation
is to be paid must be disclosed to and approved by stockholders in a separate
vote prior to payment, and the compensation must be paid solely on account of
the attainment of preestablished, objective performance goals.
The Board of Directors believes that adoption of the Amended Bonus Plan is
necessary to meet the Company's objectives of attracting, retaining and
compensating key employees of the Company.
SUMMARY OF THE AMENDED BONUS PLAN
The following summary of the Amended Bonus Plan is qualified in its
entirety by the specific language of the Amended Bonus Plan, a copy of which is
annexed to this Proxy Statement.
The purposes of the Amended Bonus Plan are to reinforce the Company's
strategic principles and goals and each participant's role in achieving them;
attract, retain and motivate the executive human resources necessary to operate
the Company; encourage profitability, return on investment, and growth of the
Company; enhance the major values of the Company; and reflect the Company's
commitment to pay for performance. An additional purpose of the Amended Bonus
Plan is to serve as a qualified performance-based compensation program under
Section 162(m), in order to preserve the Company's tax deduction for
compensation paid under the Amended Bonus Plan to Covered Employees.
BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Amended Bonus Plan is administered by a Committee of the Board (the
"Committee"), which consists, unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors, of not less than two members who shall be "outside directors" within
the meaning of Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder.
ELIGIBILITY
The Amended Bonus Plan provides that executives who are classified in
salary grades 9 and above in the Company's exempt salary program, and general
managers and above and other key executives of
5
<PAGE>
the Company's operations outside the United States are eligible to participate
in the Amended Bonus Plan. Participation in the Amended Bonus Plan is
conditioned upon the participant's signing the Company's Employee Agreement as
to Confidentiality and Noncompetition (as the same may be amended from time to
time by the Company). Approximately 735 executives currently participate in the
Amended Bonus Plan.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE ATTAINMENT REQUIRED FOR AWARD PAYMENT
The Amended Bonus Plan provides for the payment of awards to participants
if, and only to the extent that, goals established by the Committee are met
with respect to the appropriate applicable one-year performance period (the
"Plan Year").
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
The Committee will determine annual Business and Personal Performance
Objectives (collectively, the "Objectives") in writing and before the lapse of
90 days after commencement of the Plan Year. Business Objectives of Covered
Employees may be based on one or more of the following quantifiable operating
measures: stock price; fair market value; book value; market share; earnings
per share; cash flow; return on equity, assets, capital, or investment; net
income; operating profit or income; operating income before restructuring
charges, plus depreciation and amortization other than relating to early
extinguishment of debt and debt issuance costs; net sales growth; expense
targets; working capital targets relating to inventory and/or accounts
receivable; operating margin; productivity improvement; cost or expenses;
planning accuracy; customer satisfaction based on market share; and
implementation or completion of critical projects or processes, and may relate
to, in each case, the performance of the Company, a business unit, product
line, territory or any combination thereof. Business Objectives for
participants other than Covered Employees may be developed by each department
head subject to the approval of the Chief Financial Officer and the President
and Chief Executive Officer.
With respect to Personal Performance Objectives, such objectives will be
developed and established each year with appropriate standards of performance
for participants other than Covered Employees individually by their department
head.
All objectives include a threshold level of performance below which no
award payment will be made and levels of performance at which specified
percentages of the target award will be paid.
COMMITTEE CERTIFICATION OF BUSINESS OBJECTIVE ATTAINMENT
Before any awards for a particular Plan Year performance period can be
paid to Covered Employees, the Committee must certify the extent to which
Business Objectives have been attained.
AWARDS
A participant's award with respect to the Plan Year will be paid in cash.
Target awards shall be expressed as a percent of the executive's base salary
for the achievement of the predetermined objectives. The executive may receive
higher awards based on his or her overachievement of such goals, but in no
event shall an award under the Amended Bonus Plan exceed 200% of the target
award. The maximum amount payable to any participant with respect to any bonus
year may not exceed the lesser of 100% of base salary or $2,000,000.
EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
A Covered Employee will receive an award only if the participant is
employed by the Company on the date that bonus awards are distributed. Other
participants' awards may be prorated, in the sole discretion of the President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in the event such participant's
employment terminates prior to the date bonus awards are distributed at any
time during a Plan Year due to death, disability, retirement or at any time
after June 30 of a Plan Year otherwise than for "good reason" (as defined in
the Company's Executive Severance Policy) or other like cause.
6
<PAGE>
LIMITATION OF COMMITTEE'S DISCRETION
The amount of the award payable to a Covered Employee upon attainment of a
performance goal cannot be increased by the Committee at its discretion, but
may be decreased by the Committee. However, the Committee may at its discretion
make appropriate adjustments to Business Objectives to reflect the impact of
extraordinary items not reflected in such objectives.
AMENDMENTS TO OR TERMINATION OF AMENDED BONUS PLAN
The Company reserves the right to revise or terminate the Amended Bonus
Plan at any time during or after a performance period. Furthermore, the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company may, at his discretion,
make exceptions to the Amended Bonus Plan other than in the case of Covered
Employees.
PLAN BENEFITS
Inasmuch as benefits under the Amended Bonus Plan are based upon
achievement of performance criteria for each year, which will be determined by
the Committee each year, and such criteria may vary from year to year and from
participant to participant, benefits to be paid under the Amended Bonus Plan in
respect of the year 2000 are not determinable at this time.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED BONUS PLAN.
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITORS
The Board of Directors has selected, subject to ratification by the
Company's stockholders, KPMG LLP to audit the accounts of the Company for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

The grants made during 1999 under the Stock Plan to Messrs. Fellows,
Engelman and Nichols and Ms. Dwyer were made on February 12, 1999, vested fully
on the first anniversary of the grant date, and have an exercise price equal to
the NYSE closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the grant date,
as indicated in the table above. The options granted to Mr. Nichols in 1999
consist of non-qualified options having a term of 10 years. The options granted
to Messrs. Fellows and Engelman in 1999 consist of non-qualified options that,
pursuant to the terms of their respective separation agreements, expire on
December 31, 2002 and February 12, 2001, respectively, and the options granted
to Ms. Dwyer in 1999 consist of non-qualified options that expired on January
3, 2000, pursuant to her termination agreement. (See "--Employment Agreements
and Termination of Employment Arrangements.") The grants made during 1999 under
the Stock Plan to Mr. Gehrmann were made on February 12, 1999 (with respect to
an option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock that
vested in full on the first anniversary of the grant date) and May 17, 1999
(with respect to an option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock that vests 25% each year beginning on the first anniversary of the
grant date and will become 100% vested on the fourth anniversary of the grant
date) and consist of non-qualified options having a term of 10 years with an
exercise price equal to the NYSE closing price per share of the Class A Common
Stock on the applicable grant date, as indicated in the table above. The grant
made during 1999 under the Stock Plan to Mr. Nugent was made on December 5,
1999, has an exercise price equal to the NYSE closing price per share of the
Class A Common Stock on the first business day after the grant date, as
indicated in the table above, and will not vest as to any portion until the
third anniversary of the date of grant and will thereupon become 100% vested,
except that upon termination of employment by Mr. Nugent for "good reason" or
by the Company other than for "cause" under his employment agreement, such
options will vest with respect to 33 1/3% of the shares subject thereto if such
termination is on or after the first and before the second anniversaries of
such grant and with respect to 66 2/3% if such termination is on or after the
second and before the third anniversaries of such grant. During 1999, the
Company also granted an option to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's
Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Plan to Mr. Perelman, the Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the Company. The option vested in full on the
grant date and has an exercise price of $15.00, the NYSE closing price per
share of the Class A Common Stock on February 12, 1999, the date of the grant.
- ----------
(a) Grant Date Present Values were calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The model as applied used the grant dates of
February 12, 1999 and May 17, 1999 with respect to the options
granted on such dates and used the grant date of December 6, 1999
(the first business day after the date of grant) with respect to the
option granted to Mr. Nugent on December 5, 1999. Stock option
models require a prediction about the future
12
<PAGE>
movement of stock price. The following assumptions were made for purposes
of calculating Grant Date Present Values: (i) a risk-free rate of return of
5.18% with respect to the options granted on February 12, 1999, 6.24% with
respect to the options granted on May 17, 1999, and 5.75% with respect to
the option granted to Mr. Nugent on December 5, 1999, which were the rates
as of the applicable grant dates for the U.S. Treasury Zero Coupon Bond
issues with a remaining term similar to the expected term of the options;
(ii) stock price volatility of 68% based upon the volatility of the
Company's stock price; (iii) a constant dividend rate of zero percent and
(iv) that the options normally would be exercised on the final day of their
seventh year after grant. No adjustments to the theoretical value were made
to reflect the waiting period, if any, prior to vesting of the stock
options or the transferability (or restrictions related thereto) of the
stock options. The real value of the options in the table depends upon the
actual performance of the Company's stock during the applicable period and
upon when they are exercised.
AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST
FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES

(a) The market value of the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock at

closing price per share of Class A Common Stock, was less than the
exercise price of all stock options listed in the table. The actual
value, if any, an executive may realize upon exercise of a stock
option depends upon the amount by which the market price of shares
of Class A Common Stock exceeds the exercise price per share when
the stock options are exercised.
(b) Pursuant to Mr. Fellows' separation agreement effective November
1999, Mr. Fellows' 1998 option grant was cancelled; accordingly, the
1998 grant is not included in the option information in the above
table for Mr. Fellows at fiscal year end.
(c) The option information for Ms. Dwyer in the table above is correct
as of December 31, 1999. Pursuant to Ms. Dwyer's separation
agreement, effective January 3, 2000 unvested options were
cancelled; accordingly, as of January 3, 2000 the number of
securities underlying Ms. Dwyer's total outstanding options, all of
which are exercisable, was 126,250.

and that management will recommend to the Compensation Committee that he be
granted options to purchase 40,000 shares of Class A Common Stock each year

employment or consulting services after the date of acceptance of subsequent
employment, provided that Ms. Dwyer could, upon commencing subsequent

Executive Bonus Plan for 1999, regardless of achievement of corporate and/or
business unit objectives. Messrs. Nugent's and Nichols' employment agreements
provide for participation in the Executive Bonus Plan. Mr. Nugent's agreement
also provides that he will receive not less than $500,000 as a bonus for 2000
regardless of whether Executive Bonus Plan objectives are attained for such
year. Mr. Gehrmann's agreement provides for a bonus for 1999 equal to 75% of

of life insurance and executive medical insurance coverage in the event of
permanent disability and participation in other executive benefit plans on a
basis equivalent to senior executives of the Company generally. The agreements
with Messrs. Nugent and Nichols provide for Company-paid supplemental term life
insurance during employment in the amount of three times base salary, and all
of the employment agreements currently in effect provide for Company-paid
supplemental disability insurance. All of the employment agreements currently
in effect provide for protection of Company confidential information and
include a non-compete obligation.
Mr. Gehrmann's agreement provides that in the event of termination of the
term of the employment agreement by Mr. Gehrmann on 30 days' notice effective
June 30, 2000 or for breach by the Company of a material provision of the
employment agreement, failure of the Compensation Committee to adopt and
14
<PAGE>
implement the recommendations of management with respect to stock option
grants, or following a "triggering event" (as defined in the employment
agreement), Mr. Gehrmann would be entitled to continued base salary and bonus
payments until the third anniversary of the date of termination (without
reduction for compensation received by Mr. Gehrmann from other employment or
consultancy) as well as continued participation in the Company's life insurance
plan subject to a limit of two years and medical plans subject to the terms of
such plans until the third anniversary of the date of termination or until Mr.
Gehrmann were to become covered by like plans of another company. Mr. Nichols'
agreement provides that in the event of termination of the term of the
employment agreement by Mr. Nichols for breach by the Company of a material
provision of the employment agreement, failure of the Compensation Committee to
adopt and implement the recommendations of management with respect to stock
option grants, or following a "triggering event" for "good reason" (as defined
in the employment agreement), which event is not agreed to by Mr. Nichols, or
by the Company (otherwise than for "cause", as defined in the employment
agreement, or disability), Mr. Nichols would be entitled, at his election, to
severance pursuant to the Executive Severance Policy (see "--Executive
Severance Policy") (other than the six-month limit on lump sum payment provided
for in the Executive Severance Policy, which provision would not apply to Mr.
Nichols) or continued payments of base salary and bonus throughout the term and
continued participation in the Company's life insurance plan subject to a limit
of two years and medical plans subject to the terms of such plans throughout
the term or until Mr. Nichols were covered by like plans of another company.
Such payments to Mr. Nichols would only be reduced by compensation earned by
Mr. Nichols from other employment or consultancy during such period if
termination of employment were prior to a "triggering event" (as defined in the
employment agreement). Mr. Nugent's agreement provides that in the event of
termination of the term of the employment agreement by Mr. Nugent for breach by
the Company of a material provision of the employment agreement or failure of
the Compensation Committee to adopt and implement the recommendations of
management with respect to stock option grants, or by the Company prior to
December 31, 2002 (otherwise than for "cause" as defined in the employment
agreement or disability), Mr. Nugent would be entitled, at his election, to
severance pursuant to the Executive Severance Policy (see "--Executive
Severance Policy") (other than the six-month limit on lump sum payment provided
for in the Executive Severance Policy, which provision would not apply to Mr.
Nugent) or continued payments of base salary through December 31, 2004 and
continued participation in the Company's life insurance plan subject to a limit
of two years and medical plans subject to the terms of such plans through
December 31, 2004 or until Mr. Nugent were covered by like plans of another
company, continued Company-paid supplemental term life insurance and continued
Company-paid supplemental disability insurance. Such payments to Mr. Nugent
would be reduced by any compensation earned by Mr. Nugent from other employment
or consultancy during such period. In addition, the employment agreement with
Mr. Nugent provides that if he remains employed by Products Corporation or its
affiliates until age 62, then upon any subsequent retirement he will be
entitled to a supplemental pension benefit in a sufficient amount so that his
annual pension benefit from all qualified and non-qualified pension plans of
Products Corporation and its affiliates (expressed as a straight life annuity)
equals $500,000. If Mr. Nugent's employment were to terminate prior to
September 30, 2000 then he would receive no supplemental pension benefit. If
his employment were to terminate on or after September 30, 2000 and prior to
September 30, 2001 then he would receive 11.1% of the amount otherwise payable
pursuant to his agreement and thereafter an additional 11.1% would accrue as of
each September 30th on which Mr. Nugent is still employed (but in no event more
than would have been payable to Mr. Nugent under the foregoing provision had he
retired at age 62). Mr. Nugent would not receive any supplemental pension
benefit and would be required to reimburse the Company for any supplemental
pension benefits received if he were to terminate his employment prior to
January 1, 2003 other than for "good reason" (as defined in the employment
agreement), or if he were to breach the agreement or be terminated by the
Company for "cause" (as defined in the employment agreement).
Mr. Nugent's employment agreement provides that he is entitled to a loan
from Products Corporation of up to $500,000 for relocation expenses, which will
be due and payable with interest at the applicable federal rate upon the
earlier of the termination of his employment or five years from the initial
loan. In addition, during the term of his employment agreement, Mr. Nugent will
be entitled to additional compensation payable on a monthly basis equal to the
amount actually paid by him in respect of interest
15
<PAGE>
and principal on a bank loan (the "Mortgage") of up to $1,500,000 obtained by
Mr. Nugent to purchase a principal residence in the New York metropolitan area
(the "Home Loan Payments"), plus a gross up for any taxes payable by Mr. Nugent
as a result of such additional compensation. If Mr. Nugent terminates his
employment for other than "good reason" or is terminated for "cause" (as such
terms are defined in his employment agreement), then he shall be obligated to
pay to Products Corporation an amount equal to the total amount of interest
that would have been payable on the Home Loan Payments if the rate of interest
on the Mortgage were the applicable federal rate in effect from time to time,
plus the applicable tax gross up for such amounts. In addition, Mr. Nugent's
employment agreement provides that he shall be entitled to a special bonus,
payable on January 15 of the year next following the year in which his
employment terminates, equal to the product of (A) $1,500,000 less the amount
of Home Loan Payments made prior to the termination multiplied by (B) the
following percentages: for termination in 2000, 0%; for termination in 2001,
20%; for termination in 2002, 40%; for termination in 2003, 60%; for
termination in 2004, 80%; and for termination in 2005 or thereafter, 100%.
Notwithstanding the above, if Mr. Nugent terminates his employment for other
than "good reason" or is terminated for "cause" (as such terms are defined in
his employment agreement), or if he breaches certain post-employment covenants,
any bonus described above shall be forfeited or repaid by Mr. Nugent, as the
case may be.
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY
Products Corporation's Executive Severance Policy provides that upon
termination of employment of eligible executive employees, including Mr. Nugent
and the other Named Executive Officers (other than Ms. Dwyer and Messrs.
Fellows and Engelman), other than voluntary resignation or termination by
Products Corporation for good reason, in consideration for the execution of a
release and confidentiality agreement and the Company's standard employee
non-competition agreement, the eligible executive will be entitled to receive,
in lieu of severance under any employment agreement then in effect or under
Products Corporation's basic severance plan, a number of months of severance
pay in semi-monthly installments based upon such executive's grade level and
years of service reduced by the amount of any compensation from subsequent
employment, unemployment compensation or statutory termination payments
received by such executive during the severance period, and, in certain
circumstances, by the actuarial value of enhanced pension benefits received by
the executive, as well as continued participation in medical and certain other
benefit plans for the severance period (or in lieu thereof, upon commencement
of subsequent employment, a lump sum payment equal to the then present value of
50% of the amount of base salary then remaining payable through the balance of
the severance period). Pursuant to the Executive Severance Policy, upon meeting
the conditions set forth therein, Messrs. Gehrmann, Nugent and Nichols would be
entitled to severance pay equal to two years of base salary at the rate in
effect on the date of employment termination plus continued participation in
the medical and dental plans for two years on the same terms as active
employees.

(a) The normal form of benefit for the Retirement Plan and the Pension
Equalization Plan is a straight life annuity.
The Retirement Plan is intended to be a tax qualified defined benefit
plan. Retirement Plan benefits are a function of service and final average
compensation. The Retirement Plan is designed to provide an employee having 30
years of credited service with an annuity generally equal to 52% of final
average compensation, less 50% of estimated individual Social Security
benefits. Final average compensation is defined as average annual base salary
and bonus (but not any part of bonuses in excess of 50% of base salary) during
the five consecutive calendar years in which base salary and bonus (but not any
part of bonuses in excess of 50% of base salary) were highest out of the last
10 years prior to retirement or earlier termination. Except as otherwise
indicated, credited service includes all periods of employment with the Company
or a subsidiary prior to retirement. The base salaries and bonuses of each of
the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers are set
forth in the Summary Compensation Table under columns entitled "Salary" and
"Bonus," respectively.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, places
certain maximum limitations upon the annual benefit payable under all qualified
plans of an employer to any one individual. In addition, the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 limits the annual amount of compensation that can be
considered in determining the level of benefits under qualified plans. The
Pension Equalization Plan, as amended effective December 14, 1998, is a
non-qualified benefit arrangement designed to provide for the payment by the
Company of the difference, if any, between the amount of such maximum
limitations and the annual benefit that would be payable under the Retirement
Plan but for such limitations, up to a combined maximum annual straight life
annuity benefit at age 65 under the Retirement Plan and the Pension
Equalization Plan of $500,000. Benefits provided under the Pension Equalization
Plan are conditioned on the participant's compliance with his or her
non-competition agreement and on the participant not competing with Products
Corporation for one year after termination of employment.
The number of years of credited service under the Retirement Plan and the
Pension Equalization Plan as of January 1, 2000 (rounded to full years) for Mr.
Fellows is eleven years (which includes credit for prior service with Revlon
Holdings Inc. ("Holdings")), for Ms. Dwyer is six years, for Mr. Engelman is
one year, for Mr. Gehrmann is six years and for Mr. Nichols is 21 years (which
includes credit for prior service with Holdings). Mr. Nugent had no years of
credited service as of January 1, 2000.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors currently
consists of Messrs. Gittis, Drapkin, Janklow and Semel, each of whom has been a
member of the Compensation Committee during all of 1999. Pursuant to the rules
promulgated under the Exchange Act, set forth below is the report of the
Compensation Committee regarding its compensation policies for 1999 for the
Company's executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. The key
elements of compensation used by the Company are base salary and
performance-based incentives, including annual cash bonuses and stock options.
The Company's executive compensation practices are designed to support its
business goals of fostering profitable growth and increasing stockholder value.
The Company seeks to align the interests of executives and stockholders through
the use of a performance-based cash bonus plan and a stock-based compensation
plan. The Company's compensation package is designed to be competitive with the
compensation practices of other leading consumer products companies.
The basic elements of the Company's compensation program currently in
effect were established at the time of the Company's initial public offering in
February 1996 (the "Offering"), and were based upon consultations with the
executive compensation consulting practice of KPMG LLP, which subsequently
joined with William M. Mercer, Incorporated ("Mercer"). Since the Offering the
Compensation Committee has consulted with Mercer on compensation-related issues
as it deems appropriate and considers Mercer's input as well as the Company's
existing policies in its oversight and approval of the Company's ongoing
executive officer compensation arrangements. In addition to Company sources and
consultation with Mercer, the Committee also considers information provided by
salary surveys and similar data available from independent sources to help it
assess the competitiveness and effectiveness of the Company's executive
compensation practices in general and for the Chief Executive Officer in
particular.
BASE SALARY
The Company's practice is to pay salaries that reflect the executive's
position in the Company and his or her contributions as determined by the
Compensation Committee and that are competitive with a comparison group of
other leading consumer products companies and certain other companies outside
of the consumer products field (the "Comparison Group"). While the Comparison
Group is comprised primarily of consumer products companies, companies outside
of the consumer products field are also included because the Company believes,
and the Compensation Committee concurs, that the market for executive talent is
broader than simply other consumer products companies.
In determining the salaries of executive officers, the Compensation
Committee's policy is to target the salary range for executive officers at a
level which is competitive with the Comparison Group, with salaries above that
level available to exceptional performers and key contributors to the success
of the Company. Annual salary adjustments are based on individual performance,
assumption of new responsibilities, competitive data from the Comparison Group,
employee retention efforts and the Company's overall annual salary budget
guidelines. If an executive officer is responsible for a particular business
unit, such unit's financial results are taken into account.
ANNUAL CASH BONUS
EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN
The Executive Bonus Plan in effect during 1999 (in which executives
including Mr. Nugent and Mr. Nichols participate) provided for payment of cash
compensation upon the achievement of predetermined corporate, business unit
and/or individual performance goals. Financial performance goals include
revenues, operating income and asset management goals. During 1999, in
connection with the Company's review of strategic alternatives, the Company
guaranteed a minimum of 50% of targeted awards payable under the Executive
Bonus Plan for 1999, regardless of achievement of corporate and/or business
unit financial goals. The Company, and the Compensation Committee, considered
such
18
<PAGE>
guarantee essential to retain key employees and encourage the continued
attention and dedication of such employees in light of the uncertainty created
in connection with the Company's review of strategic alternatives. Eligibility
for awards under the Executive Bonus Plan is conditioned upon the executive
having executed the Company's standard employee non-competition agreement.
Mr. Nugent joined the Company effective December 5, 1999 and was not
eligible for a bonus under the Executive Bonus Plan in 1999. Mr. Gehrmann
received a bonus for 1999 pursuant to his employment agreement. (See
"--Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements".)
During 1999, certain special business objectives set by the Compensation
Committee for each of Mr. Fellows and Ms. Dwyer were achieved and, as a result,
each of Mr. Fellows and Ms. Dwyer received a special restructuring bonus in
March 1999.
Pursuant to Item 2, the stockholders are being asked to consider and
approve the Amended Bonus Plan, a summary of which is set forth above.
LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVES
The Company's principal compensation vehicle for encouraging long-term
growth and performance is the grant of stock options or other awards under the
Revlon, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan, as amended and
restated as of December 17, 1996 and February 12, 1999 (the "Stock Plan").
THE STOCK PLAN
Under the Stock Plan, awards generally are granted annually to executive
officers. Guidelines for the size and type of awards are developed based on,
among other factors, the executive's position in the Company and the practices
of the Comparison Group. Since the Company, with the concurrence of the
Compensation Committee, views the granting of such awards as a way to obtain a
competitive compensation advantage, the Company targets award levels so that,
when taken together with salary and cash bonus, total compensation is
competitive with the Comparison Group. Actual grants may vary from guideline
levels based on individual performance, business unit performance, the
assumption of increased responsibilities or other factors.
The grants of stock options made under the Stock Plan in February 1999 to
Messrs. Fellows, Gehrmann, Engelman, Nichols and Nugent and Ms. Dwyer were made
pursuant to their respective employment agreements. Certain executives and
employees, including Mr. Gehrmann, received a second grant of options under the
Stock Plan in May 1999. The Company and the Compensation Committee considered
this grant essential to retain key employees and encourage the continued
attention and dedication of such employees during the Company's review of
strategic alternatives.
Section 162(m) generally disallows a publicly held corporation a tax
deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid to the five
most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (the "Covered
Officers"). However, an exception to the deduction limitation of Section 162(m)
applies to certain performance-based compensation provided that the plan
pursuant to which such compensation will be paid has been approved by
stockholders in a separate vote and certain other requirements are met. The
Compensation Committee will maintain the discretion to authorize awards under
the Stock Plan and other compensation that do not qualify for an exception to
the deduction limitation if the Compensation Committee believes it is necessary
or appropriate under the circumstances.
CERTAIN AGREEMENTS
During 1999, each of Messrs. Fellows and Engelman and Ms. Dwyer resigned
from their employment with the Company effective November 1, 1999, December 31,
1999 and January 3, 2000, respectively, and entered into separation agreements
with the Company. The terms of the separation agreements were principally
determined by contractual commitments made to each pursuant to their prior
employment agreements. (See "--Employment Agreements and Termination of
Employment Arrangements.")
19
<PAGE>
The Company's review of strategic alternatives resulted in uncertainty for
the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee recognized
that these circumstances threatened to result in departure or distraction of
the executive officers and other key personnel. Because the Compensation
Committee considered it essential to retain these executives, the Company
entered into employment agreements with Mr. Gehrmann and certain other key
employees of the Company and Mr. Nichols' employment agreement with the Company
was amended (see "--Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment
Arrangements"). By entering into and amending these agreements, the Company's
intention was to provide these executives with adequate incentive to remain
with the Company.
1999 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
Since the Company considered Mr. Nugent's recruitment essential to ensure
efficient management of the Company's business and the successful execution of
the Company's strategy of maximizing shareholder value, the Company entered
into an employment agreement with Mr. Nugent to induce him to join the Company
(see "--Employment Agreements and Termination of Employment Arrangements").
In setting Mr. Nugent's compensation in the agreement, the Compensation
Committee considered factors such Mr. Nugent's individual experience, his
expertise in his prior position, his anticipated contribution to the Company,
and the pay practices in effect for chief executive officers. The agreement
provides for a base salary of $1,000,000 in effect during 1999 and 2000.
Beginning in 2000, Mr. Nugent will participate in the Executive Bonus
Plan. As discussed above, Mr. Nugent was not eligible for any annual bonus for
1999.
The Stock Plan awards specified in Mr. Nugent's employment agreement were
determined with reference to Mr. Nugent's position in the Company, his
individual experience and expertise and his anticipated contribution to the
Company. The Compensation Committee's intent is to condition a meaningful
portion of Mr. Nugent's total compensation upon Company performance and
potential stockholder value.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owns shares of Common Stock having
approximately 97.4% of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect the entire
Board of Directors of the Company and control the vote on all matters submitted
to a vote of the Company's stockholders. MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly owned by
Ronald O. Perelman, who is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
In June 1992, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into an asset
transfer agreement with Holdings and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries
(the "Asset Transfer Agreement"), and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation
entered into a real property asset transfer agreement with Holdings (the "Real
Property Transfer Agreement" and, together with the Asset Transfer Agreement,
the "Transfer Agreements"), and pursuant to such agreements, on June 24, 1992
Holdings transferred assets to Products Corporation and Products Corporation
assumed all the liabilities of Holdings, other than certain specifically
excluded assets and liabilities (the liabilities excluded are referred to as
the "Excluded Liabilities"). Certain consumer products lines sold in
demonstrator assisted distribution channels considered not integral to the
Company's business and which historically had not been profitable (the
"Retained Brands") and certain of the assets and liabilities were retained by
Holdings. Holdings agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation
against losses arising from the Excluded Liabilities,
23
<PAGE>
and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation agreed to indemnify Holdings against
losses arising from the liabilities assumed by Products Corporation. The amount
reimbursed by Holdings to Products Corporation for the Excluded Liabilities for
1999 was $0.5 million.
OPERATING SERVICES AGREEMENT
In June 1992, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and Holdings entered into
an operating services agreement (as amended and restated, and as subsequently
amended, the "Operating Services Agreement") pursuant to which Products
Corporation has manufactured, marketed, distributed, warehoused and
administered, including the collection of accounts receivable, the Retained
Brands for Holdings. Pursuant to the Operating Services Agreement, Products
Corporation was reimbursed an amount equal to all of its and Revlon, Inc.'s
direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with furnishing such services,
net of the amounts collected by Products Corporation with respect to the
Retained Brands, payable quarterly. There were no amounts reimbursed by
Holdings to Products Corporation for such direct and indirect costs for 1999.
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS
Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews Holdings have entered
into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to
which (i) MacAndrews Holdings is obligated to provide (directly or through
affiliates) certain professional and administrative services, including
employees, to Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Products
Corporation, and purchase services from third party providers, such as
insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf of Revlon, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, to the extent requested by
Products Corporation, and (ii) Products Corporation is obligated to provide
certain professional and administrative services, including employees, to
MacAndrews Holdings (and its affiliates) and purchase services from third party
providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf of
MacAndrews Holdings (and its affiliates) to the extent requested by MacAndrews
Holdings, provided that in each case the performance of such services does not
cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews Holdings or Products Corporation, as
the case may be. The Company reimburses MacAndrews Holdings for the allocable
costs of the services purchased for or provided to the Company and its
subsidiaries and for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with the provision of such services. MacAndrews Holdings (or such affiliates)
reimburses the Company for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or
provided to MacAndrews Holdings (or such affiliates) and for the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or provision of
such services. The net amount reimbursed by MacAndrews Holdings to the Company
for the services provided under the Reimbursement Agreements for 1999 was $0.5
million. Each of Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation, on the one hand, and
MacAndrews Holdings, on the other, has agreed to indemnify the other party for
losses arising out of the provision of services by it under the Reimbursement
Agreements other than losses resulting from its willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Reimbursement Agreements may be terminated by either party on
90 days' notice. The Company does not intend to request services under the
Reimbursement Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to
the Company as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
Revlon, Inc., for federal income tax purposes, is included in the
affiliated group of which Mafco Holdings is the common parent, and Revlon,
Inc.'s federal taxable income and loss is included in such group's consolidated
tax return filed by Mafco Holdings. Revlon, Inc. also may be included in
certain state and local tax returns of Mafco Holdings or its subsidiaries. In
June 1992, Holdings, Revlon, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, and Mafco
Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement (as subsequently amended, the
"Tax Sharing Agreement"), pursuant to which Mafco Holdings has agreed to
indemnify Revlon, Inc. against federal, state or local income tax liabilities
of the consolidated or combined group of which Mafco Holdings (or a subsidiary
of Mafco Holdings other than Revlon, Inc. or its subsidiaries) is the common
parent for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992 during which
Revlon, Inc.
24
<PAGE>
or a subsidiary of Revlon, Inc. is a member of such group. Pursuant to the Tax
Sharing Agreement, for all taxable periods beginning on or after January 1,
1992, Revlon, Inc. will pay to Holdings amounts equal to the taxes that Revlon,
Inc. would otherwise have to pay if it were to file separate federal, state or
local income tax returns (including any amounts determined to be due as a
result of a redetermination arising from an audit or otherwise of the
consolidated or combined tax liability relating to any such period which is
attributable to Revlon, Inc.), except that Revlon, Inc. will not be entitled to
carry back any losses to taxable periods ending prior to January 1, 1992. No
payments are required by Revlon, Inc. if and to the extent Products Corporation
is prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making tax sharing payments to
Revlon, Inc. The Credit Agreement prohibits Products Corporation from making
such tax sharing payments other than in respect of state and local income
taxes. Since the payments to be made under the Tax Sharing Agreement will be
determined by the amount of taxes that Revlon, Inc. would otherwise have to pay
if it were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, the Tax
Sharing Agreement will benefit Mafco Holdings to the extent Mafco Holdings can
offset the taxable income generated by Revlon, Inc. against losses and tax
credits generated by Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries. There were no
cash payments in respect of federal taxes made by Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the
Tax Sharing Agreement for 1999.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Prior to the consummation of the Offering, Revlon, Inc. and Revlon
Worldwide Corporation (subsequently merged into REV Holdings), the then direct
parent of Revlon, Inc., entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant
to which REV Holdings and certain transferees of Revlon, Inc.'s Common Stock
held by REV Holdings (the "Holders") have the right to require Revlon, Inc. to
register all or part of the Class A Common Stock owned by such Holders and the
Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Revlon, Inc.'s Class B Common
Stock owned by such Holders under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") (a "Demand Registration"); provided that Revlon, Inc. may
postpone giving effect to a Demand Registration up to a period of 30 days if
Revlon, Inc. believes such registration might have a material adverse effect on
any plan or proposal by Revlon, Inc. with respect to any financing,
acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, or
if Revlon, Inc. is in possession of material non-public information that, if
publicly disclosed, could result in a material disruption of a major corporate
development or transaction then pending or in progress or in other material
adverse consequences to Revlon, Inc. In addition, the Holders have the right to
participate in registrations by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock (a
"Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with any Demand Registration. Revlon, Inc. will pay any
expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration, except for
underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses attributable to the shares of
Class A Common Stock sold by such Holders.
OTHER
Pursuant to a lease dated April 2, 1993 (the "Edison Lease"), Holdings
leased to Products Corporation the Edison research and development facility for
a term of up to 10 years with an annual rent of $1.4 million and certain shared
operating expenses payable by Products Corporation which, together with the
annual rent, were not to exceed $2.0 million per year. In August 1998, Holdings
sold the Edison facility to an unrelated third party, which assumed
substantially all liability for environmental claims and compliance costs
relating to the Edison facility, and in connection with the sale Products
Corporation terminated the Edison Lease and entered into a new lease with the
new owner. Holdings agreed to indemnify Products Corporation to the extent rent
under the new lease exceeds rent that would have been payable under the
terminated Edison Lease had it not been terminated. The net amount reimbursed
by Holdings to Products Corporation with respect to the Edison facility for
1999 was $0.2 million.
During 1999, Products Corporation leased certain facilities to MacAndrews
& Forbes or its affiliates pursuant to occupancy agreements and leases. These
included space at Products Corporation's New York headquarters and at Products
Corporation's offices in London. The rent paid to Products Corporation for 1999
was $1.1 million.
25
<PAGE>
Products Corporation's Credit Agreement is supported by, among other
things, guarantees from Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries. The
obligations under such guarantees are secured by, among other things, the
capital stock and certain assets of certain subsidiaries of Holdings.
Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to time
to supplement its working capital borrowings. No such borrowings were
outstanding as of December 31, 1999. The interest rates for such borrowings are
more favorable to Products Corporation than interest rates under the Credit
Agreement and, for borrowings occurring prior to the execution of the Credit
Agreement, the credit facilities in effect at the time of such borrowing. The
amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such borrowings for 1999
was $0.5 million.
During 1998, the Company made advances of $0.25 million, $0.3 million and
$0.4 million to Mr. Fellows, Ms. Dwyer, and Mr. Levin, respectively, which
advances were repaid in 1999.
During 1999, the Company made an advance of $0.4 million to Mr. Nugent.
During 1999, a company that was an affiliate of the Company during part of
1999 assembled lipstick cases for Products Corporation. Products Corporation
paid approximately $0.1 million for such services in 1999.
During 1999, Products Corporation made payments of $0.1 million to a
fitness center, an interest in which is owned by members of Mr. Drapkin's
immediate family, for discounted health club dues for an executive health
program of Products Corporation.
The law firm of which Mr. Jordan is Of Counsel provided legal services to
Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries during 1999, and it is anticipated that it
will provide legal services to Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries during 2000.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
THE COMPANY WILL MAKE AVAILABLE A COPY OF ITS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, AND ANY QUARTERLY REPORTS ON FORM
10-Q FILED THEREAFTER, WITHOUT CHARGE, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO ROBERT K.
KRETZMAN, CORPORATE SECRETARY, REVLON, INC., 625 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW
YORK 10022. EACH SUCH REQUEST MUST SET FORTH A GOOD FAITH REPRESENTATION THAT,
AS OF THE RECORD DATE, MARCH 8, 2000, THE PERSON MAKING THE REQUEST WAS A
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ENTITLED TO VOTE.
In order to ensure timely delivery of such documents prior to the Annual
Meeting, any request should be received by the Company promptly.
Stockholders who are not stockholders of record who wish to attend the
Annual Meeting should bring written evidence of beneficial ownership of the
Common Stock to the Annual Meeting.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
The Company's executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are
required under the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the SEC and the NYSE. Copies of these reports also must be
furnished to the Company.
Based solely upon a review of copies of such reports furnished to the
Company through the date hereof and written representations that no other
reports were required, the Company believes that all filing requirements
applicable to its executive officers, directors and 10% holders were complied
with during 1999.
26
<PAGE>
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Under the rules and regulations of the SEC as currently in effect, any
holder of at least one percent or $2,000 in market value of shares of Common
Stock held for at least one year who desires to have a proposal presented in
the Company's proxy material for use in connection with the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held in 2000 must transmit that proposal (along with his or
her name, address, the number of shares of Common Stock that he or she holds of
record or beneficially, the dates on which the securities were acquired and
documentary support for a claim of beneficial ownership) in writing by
certified mail--return receipt requested to the Secretary of the Company at
Revlon, Inc., 625 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022. Proposals of
stockholders intended to be presented in the Company's proxy material for use
in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2001 must
be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than December 3, 2000.
On May 21, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an
amendment to Rule 14a-4, as promulgated under the Exchange Act. The amendment
to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) governs the Company's use of its discretionary proxy voting
authority with respect to a shareholder proposal that is not addressed in the
Company's proxy statement. The new amendment provides that if a proponent of a
proposal fails to notify the Company at least 45 days prior to the first
anniversary date of the date of mailing of the prior year's proxy statement,
then the Company will be allowed to use its discretionary voting authority when
the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in
the proxy statement.
With respect to the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in
2001, if the Company is not provided notice of a shareholder proposal, which
proposal has not been submitted for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement
in a timely manner, by February 19, 2001, the Company will be permitted to use
its voting authority as outlined above.
Additionally, holders of shares of Common Stock desiring to have proposals
submitted for consideration at future meetings of the stockholders should
consult the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC with respect to such
proposals, including the permissible number and length of proposals and other
matters governed by such rules and regulations.
OTHER BUSINESS
Management does not intend to present any other items of business and is
not aware of any matters other than those set forth in this proxy statement
that will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other
matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the
enclosed proxy intend to vote the shares of Common Stock they represent in
accordance with their best judgment.

APPENDIX A
REVLON EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN
(AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF MARCH 1, 2000)
I. OBJECTIVES
This Executive Bonus Plan (the "Plan") for Revlon, Inc. ("Revlon") and its
participating affiliates (collectively, the "Company") is intended to
provide an annual cash incentive program which will:
o reinforce the Company's Strategic Principles and goals and each
eligible individual's role in achieving them;
o attract, retain, and motivate the executive human resources necessary
to operate the Company;
o encourage improved profitability, return on investment, and growth of
the Company;
o enhance the major values of the Company -- innovation, quality,
growth, teamwork, and satisfied customers and consumers;
o reflect the Company's commitment to pay for performance; and
o in the case of Covered Employees as defined in Treasury Regulation
1.162-27(c)(2) (or successors thereto), be directly related to the
performance results of the Company and contingent upon the achievement
of certain corporate goals.
II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") appointed
by the Board of Directors of Revlon from among its members and shall be
comprised, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, of not
less than two members who shall be "outside directors" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3) under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The Committee shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of this
Plan, such powers to include authority (within the limitations described
herein) to assign Participation Levels (described more fully in Section
IV), to determine Business Objectives and Personal Performance Objectives
(described more fully in Section V), to determine whether such Objectives
have been met, to determine whether an award will be paid out as described
in Section VI or deferred, and to determine whether an award should be
reduced or eliminated.
The Committee shall have full power and authority to construe, administer
and interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations, agreements,
guidelines and instruments for the administration of the Plan and for the
conduct of its business as the Committee deems necessary or advisable. The
Committee may at any time amend, modify, suspend or terminate such rules,
regulations, agreements, guidelines or instruments. The Committee's
interpretations of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made
by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including the Company,
Revlon stockholders and any participant under the Plan.
Except as with respect to a Covered Employee, the Committee may delegate
all or a portion of its administrative duties under the Plan to such
officers or other employees of the Company as it shall determine. With
respect to a Covered Employee, the Committee may not delegate any of its
administrative duties under the Plan.
The Plan Year shall mean the calendar year.
A-1
<PAGE>
III. ELIGIBILITY
(1) Executives whose positions are classified in salary grades 9 and above
of the Company's exempt salary program, and (2) general managers and above
and other key executives of the Company's operations outside the United
States are eligible for participation in the Plan. No eligible executive
may be a participant in the Plan unless he or she shall have signed
Revlon's Employee Agreement as to Confidentiality and Non-Competition (as
the same may be amended from time to time by the Company).
IV. PARTICIPATION LEVELS/TARGET AWARDS
All participants will be assigned a Participation Level which will
determine their Target Award. The Target Award is the Bonus Award,
expressed as a percent of base salary. Target Awards shall be payable
provided that certain threshold, target and maximum Objectives established
by the Committee pursuant to Plan sections VI A and B are met. Base salary
earned during the Plan Year will be used in calculating Bonus Awards under
the Plan.
The maximum award payable with respect to any Plan Year to any individual
participant is 200% of the Target Award, not to exceed the lesser of 100%
of base salary earnings or $2,000,000.
Except where required to be determined by the Committee, Participation
Levels are generally based on an individual's grade level, reporting
level, and the impact the position has on the organization's results. Each
participant's Participation Level will be communicated to him/her at the
time Objectives are set for the Plan Year and any other time during the
Plan Year, as needed.
V. BUSINESS AND PERSONAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
For each Plan Year, the annual Objectives shall be determined by the
Committee in writing, by resolution of the Committee or other appropriate
action, not later than 90 days after commencement of such Plan Year, and
each such Objective shall state, in terms of an objective formula or
standard, the method for computing the amount of compensation payable to
the applicable participant if such Objective is obtained; provided,
however, that if an individual becomes eligible to participate during a
Plan Year and after such 90 day period, that individual's Objectives may
be determined by the Committee in writing, by resolution of the Committee
or other appropriate action, before no more than 25% of the period of
service to which the Objectives relate has elapsed. The Committee shall
determine the portion of the Target Award assigned to Business Objectives
and Personal Objectives.
A. BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
The Business Objectives to which a Bonus Award relates ("Business
Objectives") shall be based on one or more of the following objective
business performance factors, as it/they apply to the Company or a
business unit of Revlon and/or an Affiliate(s): stock price; fair
market value; book value; market share; earnings per share; cash flow;
return on equity, assets, capital or investment; net income; operating
profit or income; operating income before restructuring charges, plus
depreciation and amortization other than relating to early
extinguishment of debt and debt issuance costs; net sales growth;
expense targets; working capital targets relating to inventory and/or
accounts receivable; operating margin; productivity improvement; cost
or expenses; planning accuracy (as measured by comparing planned
results to actual results); customer satisfaction based on market
share; and implementation or completion of critical projects or
processes.
In the Committee's discretion, Business Objectives (other than with
respect to Covered Employees) may be developed by each Group Head and
approved by the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of
Revlon and the President and CEO of Revlon, subject to final review and
approval by the Committee.
A-2
<PAGE>
Once established, the Committee may not have discretion to increase the
amount payable under such Award, provided, however, that whether or not
a Bonus Award is intended to constitute qualified performance based
compensation within the meaning of Code section 162(m), the Committee
shall make appropriate adjustments in Business Objectives to reflect
the impact of extraordinary items not reflected in such Objectives. For
purposes of the Plan, extraordinary items shall be defined as (1) any
profit or loss attributable to acquisitions or dispositions of stock or
assets, (2) any changes in accounting standards that may be required or
permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or adopted by the
Company after the goal is established, (3) all items of gain, loss or
expense for the year related to restructuring charges for the Company,
(4) all items of gain, loss or expense for the year determined to be
extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or
related to the disposal of a segment of a business, all determined in
accordance with standards established by Opinion No. 30 of the
Accounting Principles Board (APB Opinion No. 30), (5) all items of
gain, loss or expense for the year related to discontinued operations
that do not qualify as a segment of a business as defined in APB
Opinion No. 30, and (6) such other items as may be prescribed by Code
Section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as may be in
effect from time to time, and any amendments, revisions or successor
provisions and any changes thereto. Notwithstanding the attainment by
the Covered Employee of the applicable Business Objective(s), the
Committee has the discretion to reduce, prior to certification of such
Objective(s), some or all of the Section 162(m) Bonus Award that
otherwise would be paid.
Each Bonus Award shall specify the Business Objectives to be achieved,
a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment or
award will be made, and a formula of determining the amount of any
payment or award to be made if performance is at or above the minimum
acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the Business
Objectives.
B. PERSONAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
This portion of the Bonus Award will be based on Personal Performance
Objectives which are specific to each individual, such as human
resource management, advertising, account penetration, new product
development, etc. A maximum of five to seven Personal Performance
Objectives will be established each year with appropriate standards of
performance.
In the Committee's discretion, Personal Performance Objectives (other
than with respect to Covered Employees) may be developed by each
participant's Department Head, approved by the Group Head and reviewed
with the participant.
In no event shall any portion of a Section 162(m) Bonus Award made to a
Covered Employee be determined under this subsection B.
VI. ACTUAL BONUS AWARDS
Actual Bonus Awards will be determined for each participant based on the
degree to which the participant's Business Objectives and Personal
Performance Objectives are achieved. The earned award for the achievement
of Business Objectives will be added to the earned award for the
achievement of Personal Performance Objectives to determine a
participant's total Bonus Award earned under the Plan, subject to the
maximums provided for in Section IV.
A. BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
Bonuses earned under this portion of the Plan will be based on
achievement against each Business Objective's target in accordance with
its assigned weight. Proportionate awards will be earned for
achievement between the threshold, target, and maximum Objectives.
A-3
<PAGE>
B. PERSONAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
Bonuses earned under this portion of the Plan will be based on each
participant's performance against Personal Performance Objectives in
accordance with its assigned weight. Proportionate awards will be earned
for achievement between the threshold, target, and maximum Objectives.
Based on criteria established at the beginning of the year by the
President and CEO of Revlon, participants may earn up to 200% of their
personal performance target award.
VII. SECTION 162(M) BONUS AWARDS
The Committee may designate any particular Bonus Award as being a "Section
162(m) Bonus Award"; provided that any Bonus Award so designated will be
subject to the following requirements, notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan to the contrary:
1. No Section 162(m) Bonus Award may be paid unless and until the
stockholders of the Company have approved the Plan in a manner which
complies with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Code.
2. A Section 162(m) Bonus Award may be made by a minimum of two members
of the Committee, each of whom must be an "outside director" (within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code).
3. The performance goals to which a Section 162(m) Bonus Award is subject
must be based on Business Objectives in accordance with plan section V.A.
Such Business Objectives, and the Bonus Award payable on attainment
thereof, must be established by the Committee within the time limits
required in order for the Section 162(m) Bonus Award to qualify for the
performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m) of the Code.
4. No Section 162(m) Bonus Award may be paid until the Committee has
certified the appropriate level of attainment of the applicable Business
Objectives.
5. The maximum amount of a Section 162(m) Bonus Award is $2,000,000.
VIII. CORPORATE/GROUP BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
Without limiting in any way the Committee's discretion to establish Bonus
Awards, it is expected that targeted Business Objectives for participants
should include Corporate/Group/Division performance factors to the extent
applicable, in order to foster each executive's commitment to teamwork and
sharing in the Company's overall success.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS
In the event of a change of assignment or transfer prior to October 31 of
the Plan year, the participant's Bonus Award will be calculated for each
position on a pro-rated basis. Similarly, an executive who is newly hired
or who joins the Plan after the start of the Plan year, and prior to
October 31, will be eligible for a pro-rated Bonus Award based on the
percentage of the Plan year actually worked while a participant.
Bonus Awards will be distributed on or about March 31 following the
applicable Plan Year. Bonus Awards will not be paid to a participant who
does not remain actively employed by the Company through the date Bonus
Awards are distributed except that, in the sole discretion of the
President and CEO of Revlon:
(a) an executive whose employment terminates due to death, disability, or
retirement at any time after the start of a Plan year, or
(b) an executive whose employment is terminated by the Company otherwise
than for "good reason" (as defined in the Revlon Executive Severance
Policy) or other like cause at any time after June 30 of a Plan year, may
receive a Bonus Award, pro-rated if appropriate, based on the number of
months of active employment during the Plan year. The aforedescribed
exception shall not be applicable to Section 162(m) Bonus Awards.
A-4
<PAGE>
The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish
any special segregation of assets to assure the payment of Bonus Awards.
The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
The Company shall have the right to deduct from Bonus Awards paid any
taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld.
Participation in the Plan shall not confer upon any participant any rights
