						<p>Revlon said Thursday it has closed a debt-exchange with creditors including billionaire Carl Icahn that will save the company from bankruptcy.</p>
<p>Confirming an <strong>exclusive Wednesday report by The Post</strong>, the cosmetics giant controlled by Ron Perelman said early Thursday that it “does not expect that any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings will be necessary” after closing a debt exchange offer ahead of a Nov. 16 default deadline.</p>
<p>Now the money-losing company &#8212; whose already-weak business got slammed during the pandemic as demand for beauty products plummeted &#8212; has no debt maturities until 2024 so it has time to stabilize operations.</p>
<p>Revlon said 69 percent of $343 million in bonds agreed to swap their debt for new debt that has a later maturity. Perelman’s team struck a deal Tuesday night with Icahn, clearing what was the biggest hurdle in the deal, sources told The Post.</p>
<p>Holders of $107 million in bonds, representing 31 percent of outstanding bondholders, will get paid in full, Revlon said.</p>
<p><strong>The Post reported exclusively this week</strong> that Revlon said it could not find holders of about $90 million in bonds and that they were mom-and-pop retail investors. There is speculation Perelman owns many of the untendered bonds and will now make a nice profit from his positions.</p>
<p><span >“Thats a huge percentage of holders getting paid in full, and a huge disparity in value paid,&#8221; said distressed investment banker Peter Kaufman, President of Gordian group, who is not involved in Revlon. &#8220;</span><span >From the public facts, it feels like the holders just blinked.”</span></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Revlon agreed recently to a new senior loan in which it is paying a 14-percent interest rate. The company is trying to sell brands including American Crew and Mitchum to likely pay off or refinance that senior loan, a Revlon lender said.</p>
<p>Revlon’s most successful brand, Elizabeth Arden, is not for sale.</p>
