<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the issuance of 5,278,921 shares (the &#147;Shares&#148;) of the Company&#146;s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;Common
Stock&#148;) to Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Spectrum&#148;) on January&nbsp;28, 2019 (the &#147;Closing Date&#148;) upon the consummation of the acquisition of the Auto Care Business described under Item 2.01 below
(the &#147;Acquisition&#148;), the Company entered into a Shareholder Agreement (the &#147;Shareholder Agreement&#148;) with Spectrum. Spectrum transferred the Shares to a subsidiary which subsidiary became subject to the Shareholder Agreement by
executing a joinder thereto. The provisions of the Shareholder Agreement that are applicable to Spectrum also apply to the subsidiary holding the Shares following the transfer by Spectrum. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Shareholder Agreement contains <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;24-month&nbsp;standstill</FONT> provision beginning on the Closing Date that is
applicable to Spectrum, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Shareholder Agreement, Spectrum will be prohibited, either acting alone or in concert with others, from supporting or engaging in certain
transactions involving the Company or seeking to knowingly or intentionally control or influence management, the board of directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) or policies of the Company with respect to such matters. In addition, for a period of 18
months beginning on the Closing Date, subject to certain limitations and qualifications contained in the Shareholders Agreement, Spectrum will be required to vote in favor of the Board&#146;s director nominees and in accordance with the Board&#146;s
recommendations identified on the Company&#146;s proxy or information statement on all other matters at any meeting of the Company&#146;s shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, beginning after the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company is required, at the request of
Spectrum, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement covering the resale by Spectrum of the Shares and any additional shares of Common Stock acquired by Spectrum (the &#147;Additional Shares&#148;) in one or more
registered offerings. Spectrum will also have certain rights pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement to demand registration of Shares and any Additional Shares in an underwritten takedown under the shelf registration and to participate in certain
registered underwritten public offerings by the Company. The Company will be subject to customary obligations regarding the registration of the Shares and the Additional Shares, the maintenance of an active shelf registration statement and the offer
and resale of the Shares and any Additional Shares, subject to customary limitations and exceptions, including the Company&#146;s right to defer the registration in certain circumstances and certain cutbacks by the underwriters. The Shareholders
Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of Spectrum and related parties against certain losses and liabilities (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any filing or other
disclosure made by the Company under the securities laws relating to any such registration. The Company will bear the costs of registration, as well <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">as&nbsp;one-half&nbsp;of</FONT> any roadshow expenses and the fees
of Spectrum&#146;s outside counsel, subject to certain limitations; Spectrum will be responsible for the selling expenses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Shareholder
Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, Spectrum agreed not to transfer any of the Shares or other equity securities in the Company, or engage in certain hedging transactions from the closing of the Acquisition until the day that is 12 months
after the Closing Date and, following such period, subject to certain limitations, Spectrum agreed not to transfer the Shares or other equity securities in the Company to any person or entity who would thereafter beneficially own more than 4.9% of
the Company&#146;s outstanding shares of equity securities after giving effect to such transaction. From and after the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company has the right to repurchase any or all of the Shares then held by Spectrum
or its affiliates for a purchase price per share equal to, as more specifically described in and subject to adjustment as set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, the greater of (a)&nbsp;the volume-weighted average sales price per share for the ten
consecutive trading days beginning on the 12th trading day immediately preceding notice of the repurchase from the Company and (b) $65.117, which equals 110% of the Common Stock VWAP, as defined in Item 2.01 below. </P>

shares of Common Stock (the &#147;Stock Consideration&#148;), as stock consideration. The number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Stock Consideration was determined by dividing $312.5&nbsp;million by the volume-weighted average sales price
per share of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Acquisition Agreement (the &#147;Common Stock VWAP&#148;), as more specifically described in the Acquisition Agreement. </P>

2019 Senior Notes
On January 28, 2019,
Energizer Holdings, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the "Company"), completed the issuance and sale of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2019 Notes") as contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, dated January 17, 2019 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the purchasers listed therein (the "Initial Purchasers") and the guarantors party
thereto. The 2019 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 28, 2019 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the
"Trustee").
The 2019 Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). The Company did not register the issuances of the 2019 Notes under the Securities Act because such issuances did not constitute public offerings. The 2019 Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to
Rule 144A (and outside the United States to qualified investors in reliance on Regulation S) under the Securities Act. The 2019 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or
sold absent registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws or applicable exemptions from registration requirements.
Interest and Maturity
The 2019 Notes accrue interest at
a rate of 7.750% per annum and will mature on January 15, 2027.
Guarantees
The 2019 Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by each of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower
or a guarantor under the credit agreement dated December 17, 2018 by and among the Company, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Credit Agreement").
Ranking
The 2019 Notes are:
•
general unsecured obligations of the Company;
•
equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of the Company, including under the Credit
Agreement and the Company's 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 issued on June 1, 2015, the Company's 6.375% Senior Notes due 2026 issued on July 6, 2018, and the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2026 issued on July 6, 2018 by Energizer
Gamma Acquisition B.V. (the "EUR Issuer") and guaranteed by the Company (collectively, the "Existing Notes");
•
senior in right of payment to any of the Company's future debt that is, by its terms, expressly subordinated
in right of payment to the 2019 Notes;
•
structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries that are not guarantors,
including liabilities of the EUR Issuer;
•
effectively subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured debt, including the Credit
Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt; and
•
unconditionally guaranteed by the guarantors.
Optional Redemption
The Company will have the option to
redeem some or all of the 2019 Notes at any time on or after January 15, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a premium declining ratably on an annual basis to par and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company will also have the option to redeem some or all of the 2019 Notes at any time before January 15, 2022 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be
redeemed, plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before January 15, 2022, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal
amount of the 2019 Notes at a redemption price of 107.750% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes with the proceeds from certain equity issuances plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
2
Change of Control
If the Company experiences specific change of control events, as the case may be, the Company may be required to offer to purchase the 2019 Notes at 101% of
their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase. If holders of not less than 90% of the principal amount of the outstanding 2019 Notes accept a change of control offer, the
Company will have the right to redeem all of the 2019 Notes then outstanding at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The ability
of the Company to purchase the 2019 Notes, upon a change of control may be limited by the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Asset Sales
If the Company sells certain assets, under certain circumstances the Company may be required to offer to purchase the 2019 Notes at 100% of their aggregate
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.
Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to:
•
incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock;
•
pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments;
•
limit dividends or other payments by the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or the
Company's other Restricted Subsidiaries;
•
incur liens;
•
enter into certain types of transactions with the Company's affiliates; and
•
consolidate or merge with or into other companies.
These and other covenants that are contained in the Indenture are each subject to important exceptions and qualifications.
Covenant Suspension
During any period of time that
(i) the ratings assigned to the 2019 Notes by both of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings are equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) and
BBB-
(or the equivalent),
respectively, and (ii) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Company and the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to most of the covenants discussed above. In the event that
the Company and the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to such covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, on any subsequent date, one or both of such ratings agencies withdraws its ratings or
downgrades the ratings assigned to the 2019 Notes below the level set forth above or a default or event of default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, then the Company and the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be
subject to such covenants, but any actions taken during such suspension will not result in an event of default.
Default
The Indenture provides for customary events of default. Generally, if an event of default occurs (subject to certain exceptions), the Trustee, or the holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2019 Notes, may declare all the 2019 Notes to be due and payable immediately.
General
A copy of the Indenture and the form of 2019
Notes are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and are incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions above are summaries of such agreements, do not purport to be
complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the complete texts of each such agreement.
Certain of the Initial Purchasers and the Trustee or their
affiliates perform various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services from time to time for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received customary fees and compensation for these transactions and may in the
future receive customary fees and compensation.
3
Shareholder Agreement
In connection with the issuance of 5,278,921 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") to Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Spectrum") on January 28, 2019 (the "Closing Date") upon the consummation of the acquisition of the Auto Care Business described under Item 2.01 below
(the "Acquisition"), the Company entered into a Shareholder Agreement (the "Shareholder Agreement") with Spectrum. Spectrum transferred the Shares to a subsidiary which subsidiary became subject to the Shareholder Agreement by
executing a joinder thereto. The provisions of the Shareholder Agreement that are applicable to Spectrum also apply to the subsidiary holding the Shares following the transfer by Spectrum.
The Shareholder Agreement contains
a 24-month standstill
provision beginning on the Closing Date that is
applicable to Spectrum, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Shareholder Agreement, Spectrum will be prohibited, either acting alone or in concert with others, from supporting or engaging in certain
transactions involving the Company or seeking to knowingly or intentionally control or influence management, the board of directors (the "Board") or policies of the Company with respect to such matters. In addition, for a period of 18
months beginning on the Closing Date, subject to certain limitations and qualifications contained in the Shareholders Agreement, Spectrum will be required to vote in favor of the Board's director nominees and in accordance with the Board's
recommendations identified on the Company's proxy or information statement on all other matters at any meeting of the Company's shareholders.
In addition, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, beginning after the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company is required, at the request of
Spectrum, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement covering the resale by Spectrum of the Shares and any additional shares of Common Stock acquired by Spectrum (the "Additional Shares") in one or more
registered offerings. Spectrum will also have certain rights pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement to demand registration of Shares and any Additional Shares in an underwritten takedown under the shelf registration and to participate in certain
registered underwritten public offerings by the Company. The Company will be subject to customary obligations regarding the registration of the Shares and the Additional Shares, the maintenance of an active shelf registration statement and the offer
and resale of the Shares and any Additional Shares, subject to customary limitations and exceptions, including the Company's right to defer the registration in certain circumstances and certain cutbacks by the underwriters. The Shareholders
Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of Spectrum and related parties against certain losses and liabilities (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any filing or other
disclosure made by the Company under the securities laws relating to any such registration. The Company will bear the costs of registration, as well
as one-half of
any roadshow expenses and the fees
of Spectrum's outside counsel, subject to certain limitations; Spectrum will be responsible for the selling expenses.
Pursuant to the Shareholder
Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, Spectrum agreed not to transfer any of the Shares or other equity securities in the Company, or engage in certain hedging transactions from the closing of the Acquisition until the day that is 12 months
after the Closing Date and, following such period, subject to certain limitations, Spectrum agreed not to transfer the Shares or other equity securities in the Company to any person or entity who would thereafter beneficially own more than 4.9% of
the Company's outstanding shares of equity securities after giving effect to such transaction. From and after the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company has the right to repurchase any or all of the Shares then held by Spectrum
or its affiliates for a purchase price per share equal to, as more specifically described in and subject to adjustment as set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, the greater of (a) the volume-weighted average sales price per share for the ten
consecutive trading days beginning on the 12th trading day immediately preceding notice of the repurchase from the Company and (b) $65.117, which equals 110% of the Common Stock VWAP, as defined in Item 2.01 below.
A copy of the Shareholder Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and is incorporated
herein by reference. The description above is a summary of such agreement, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of such agreement.
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form
8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") on November 15, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Spectrum on November 15, 2018. On January 28, 2019, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of the global auto care business (the "Auto Care Business") from Spectrum.
At the closing of the acquisition, following certain adjustments made in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid an estimated cash
purchase price of approximately $938.7 million, which estimated cash purchase price is subject to further post-closing adjustments described in the Acquisition Agreement (the "Cash Purchase Price"), and issued to Spectrum 5,278,921
shares of Common Stock (the "Stock Consideration"), as stock consideration. The number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Stock Consideration was determined by dividing $312.5 million by the volume-weighted average sales price
per share of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Acquisition Agreement (the "Common Stock VWAP"), as more specifically described in the Acquisition Agreement.
4
The foregoing description of the Acquisition Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Acquisition Agreement attached to the Current Report on Form
8-K
filed by the Company on November 15, 2018, which agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety.
The exhibits filed herewith have been attached to provide investors with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide
any other factual information about the Company, Spectrum or the Auto Care Business. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement were made as of a specified date, are modified or
qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the Acquisition Agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material
to shareholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about the
Company, Spectrum, or the Auto Care Business at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that the Company makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with
the SEC.
Item 2.03.
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above
is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information regarding the Stock Consideration issued upon the consummation of the Acquisition set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form
8-K
is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The issuance of the Stock Consideration is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company's reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the securities was based
upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only one recipient; (c) the negotiations for the issuance of the
securities took place directly between Spectrum and the Company; and (d) the recipient of the securities is an accredited investor.
