Item 8.01. Other Events.
The purpose of this item is to disclose information regarding certain revisions to the possible principal terms and conditions of a possible refinancing that Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (‘‘RCPC’’), the wholly owned operating subsidiary of Revlon, Inc. (‘‘Revlon’’ and, together with RCPC the ‘‘Company’’), is exploring as to its existing credit facilities, including its term loan facility and revolving credit facility. Such information includes a revised term sheet that RCPC is discussing with the potential lenders involved in refinancing RCPC's existing term loan facility.
The revised summary terms of the proposed 2010 term loan facility are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
The proposed refinancing transactions are expected to close and fund in early- to mid-March 2010. Consummation of the refinancing is subject to market and other customary conditions, including, among other things, the execution of definitive documentation and perfection of security interests in collateral. There can be no assurances as to the terms and conditions on which the possible refinancing may be finalized and closed, nor that the possible refinancing will be finalized and closed.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for the Company's ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether to reflect actual results of operations; changes in financial condition; changes in general U.S. or international economic, industry or cosmetics category conditions; changes in estimates, expectations or assumptions; or other circumstances, conditions, developments or events arising after the filing of this Form 8-K. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company's beliefs, expectations, focus and/or plans about future events, including those regarding the proposed 2010 refinancing, and the terms, conditions, timing and costs of any such refinancing. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including those set forth in our filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC in February 2010 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed or will file with the SEC during 2010 (which may be viewed on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov or on Revlon, Inc.'s website at http://www.revloninc.com), as well as reasons including difficulties, delays, unanticipated costs or RCPC's inability to consummate the proposed 2010 refinancing, in whole or in part, or unexpected changes in the terms, conditions, timing and/or costs of such refinancing. Factors other than those listed above could also cause the Company’s results to differ materially from expected results.

Collateral: |
The obligations of each Loan Party in respect of the Term Loan Facility shall be secured by a perfected security interest in (i) substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (including, without limitation, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and other general intangibles, material owned real property, deposit accounts, instruments, chattel paper and investment property, including all of the capital stock of the direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the voting capital stock and 100% of all non-voting stock of direct first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company or any Guarantor, but excluding 34% of the voting capital stock of such foreign subsidiaries, leased real property and certain other non-material assets to be agreed) and (ii) all of the capital stock of the Company (collectively, the “Collateral”).
Such security interests will have the following priority:
(a) first priority, if such security interests attach to Collateral consisting of (i) trademarks, trade names, patents, licenses with respect thereto and goodwill associated therewith, (ii) capital stock of the Company and its subsidiaries and (iii) any other Collateral other than assets constituting Revolving Facility Collateral (as defined below) (collectively, the “Term Loan Collateral”); and

The lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and holders of the Company’s 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and certain other permitted junior secured debt referred to below will have second priority security interests in the Term Loan Collateral and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes and certain other permitted junior secured debt referred to below will have third priority security interests in the Revolving Facility Collateral. Such security interests and relative priorities shall be evidenced through an intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Facility Administrative Agent”).

Provisions will be made to permit the Company to secure Eligible Obligations (as defined below) of the Company and its subsidiaries with local assets (other than intellectual property) and/or to designate such Eligible Obligations to share in some or all of the Collateral, on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility, as designated by the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent.
