                        thereafter through June 22, 2010, holders of the Notes
                        will receive principal payments that, in the
                        aggregate, equal approximately 15.38% of the initial
                        principal amount of the Notes. On December


22, 2010, the maturity date of the Notes, holders will receive an aggregate principal payment equal to approximately 7.69% of the initial principal amount of the Notes. A schedule of the approximate remaining principal balances (represented as a percentage of the initial principal amount) on certain dates is set forth in the table below: Remaining Principal ------------------- June 23, 2004 100.00% June 22, 2005 84.62 June 22, 2006 69.23 June 22, 2007 53.85 June 22, 2008 38.46 June 22, 2009 23.08 June 22, 2010 7.69 December 22, 2010 0.00 Use of Proceeds: The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used by Colgate to retire commercial paper which was issued by Colgate for general corporate purposes and working capital. As of June 15, 2004, Colgate's outstanding commercial paper had a weighted average interest rate of 1.0198% with maturities ranging from 2 days to 49 days. Settlement: Delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about June 23, 2004, which will be on the sixth business day following the date on which the Notes are priced. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days after the date the securities are priced, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the day of pricing or the two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bank Notes will settle in T+6, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement; such purchasers should also consult their own advisors in this regard. Legal Matters: Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, New York, New York has acted as counsel for the Agent in the offering of the Notes. Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP from time to time renders legal services to Colgate and its affiliates. 2
