As noted in our proxy filing on March 27, Susan Kropf has been nominated to join the Avon Products, Inc. Board of Directors. Assuming that shareholders elect Ms. Kropf at our upcoming shareholders meeting, Ms. Kropf will join the Board on May 6. The Company believes that Ms. Kropf will be a valuable addition to the Board based on her deep knowledge of direct selling, prior Avon experience, and insights gained from serving on other public company Boards.
