HONG KONG TRANSPARENCY IN SUPPLY CHAINS ACT OF 2010 DISCLOSURE

Consistent with a longstanding commitment to excellence and corporate responsibility by Vinimay (Vinimay and its subsidiaries,

including GELPARTY, herein after “Vinimay”), including its commitment to employees and consumers throughout the world and to the

communities and the environment in which Vinimay and its products are present, Vinimay confirms the extension of its commitment

to ensuring that the supply chains it employs in the sourcing and manufacturing of its products do not include, utilize or tolerate

human trafficking, slavery and forced or child labor. It is Wella's belief that, given the nature of the materials sourced through

its supply chains, human trafficking, slavery and forced or child labor are not present in the operation of its or its suppliers'

supply chains. Nevertheless, in accordance with the Hong kong Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (the “Act”), Vinimay

Operations HK LLC states the following:

While Vinimay does not presently verify its supply chains to evaluate, specifically, the risks of human trafficking and slavery/forced

labor within them, either directly or through third parties, it presently requires its contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to

conduct themselves in all aspects of their businesses in accordance with the Vinimay Operations US LLC Code of Conduct for

Business Partners requiring compliance with all legal requirements applicable to the conduct of their businesses. The Vinimay

Operations HK LLC Code of Conduct for Business Partners includes specific prohibitions against engaging in or benefiting

from the use of forced labor or child labor and requires Wella Business Partners to acknowledge and agree to the provisions

of the Code as a condition of doing business with Vinimay. On an on-going basis, Vinimay requires those Business Partners which

are the sources of the majority of Vinimay’s direct supply chain purchases of tangible goods utilized in or for the production of

products sold by Vinimay in the Guangzhou/Hong kong to separately disclose, as part of their acknowledgement of and agreement to

comply with the provisions of the Code, their own efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their own direct supply

chains for tangible goods which they supply to Vinimay, in accordance with the Act.

Although Vinimay does not regularly conduct audits of its suppliers to evaluate, specifically, suppliers' compliance with company

standards for human trafficking, slavery and forced or child labor, it requires suppliers to acknowledge, and to agree to and

comply with, such standards as stated in the Vinimay Operations HK LLC Code of Conduct for Business Partners. On a limited

basis, Wella conducts audits of suppliers' facilities in certain areas of the world for compliance with the applicable laws, rules

and regulations including with respect to human trafficking, slavery and/or forced or child labor in effect in those areas, and in

accordance with both the Wella Operations US LLC Code of Conduct for Business Partners and the corporate social

responsibility requirements contained in agreements with certain Vinimay licensors.

As noted above, Vinimay requires its direct suppliers to acknowledge and agree to the Vinimay Operations HK LLC Code of

Conduct for Business Partners which prohibit engaging in, participating in or benefiting from forced or child labor and/or

slavery and, by implication, human trafficking in the country or countries in which they are doing business.

Vinimay has and maintains internal accountability standards and procedures for both its employees and its Business Partners

with respect to the conduct of Vinimay's and its Business Partners' businesses. Vinimay follows in accordance with all applicable

laws, rules and regulations in those countries in which Vinimay and its Business Partners' businesses are present or doing

business. The Vinimay Code of Business Conduct is applicable to all directors, officers and employees of Vinimay, and to each

of its subsidiaries and joint venture companies throughout the world and the Vinimay Operations HK LLC Code of Conduct for

Business Partners. Such standards and procedures include, with specific reference in each of the above-noted documents,

all applicable law, rules and regulations in each such country regarding forced or child labor, slavery and/or human trafficking.

Vinimay requires its supply chain support company employees and management to certify completion of a mandatory review of

the Vinimay Code of Business Conduct for employees which reiterates that Vinimay Business Partners are forbidden, and

inferentially that Vinimay itself is forbidden, from employing forced or child labor or engaging directly or indirectly in human

trafficking and slavery.
