Avon Products, Inc. maintains an active, open line of communication with its
shareowners and prospective investors of all sizes.
In addition to meeting all disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Avon hosts quarterly conference calls and webcasts
coincident with announcing its quarterly performance. These webcasts are open to
all interested parties and include a question and answer session with members of
the company’s senior management team.
From time to time throughout the year, Avon participates in investment community
conferences or may host its own meetings. Typically one or more members of the
company’s senior team makes a presentation and takes questions at these events.
These conference presentations are webcast live and archived on Avon’s website
for 14 days following the event.
Avon maintains two full-time professionals to communicate with investors and
prospective investors on both a reactive and proactive basis. The investor
relations staff interacts by phone and face-to-face with owners and prospective
investors on a daily basis. All calls and emails to the department are responded
to in a timely manner. The department conducts approximately 250 meetings and
1,000 phone calls annually. Senior management participates in meetings at the
request of owners or potential investors or the IR department: there are approximately 50 such meetings annually.
