<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering and the concurrent Common Stock Offering by Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the
&#147;Company&#148;) (each described under Item 8.01 below), on January&nbsp;17, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations (&#147;Certificate of Designations&#148;) with the Secretary of State of the State of Missouri to establish the
preferences, limitations and relative rights of its 7.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $100.00 per share, par value $0.01 per share (&#147;Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock&#148;). The Certificate of
Designations became effective upon filing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into an aggregate of up to
4,076,063 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, par value $.01 per share (&#147;Common Stock&#148;) (or up to 4,687,472 shares of Common Stock, if the underwriters in Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering exercise their over-allotment
option in full), in each case subject to anti-dilution, make-whole and other adjustments, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless
converted or redeemed earlier in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will convert automatically on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be January&nbsp;15,
2022, into between 1.7892 and 2.1739 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price
per share of Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to January&nbsp;15, 2022. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the
Company, or an authorized committee thereof, at an annual rate of 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common
Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. If declared, dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on January&nbsp;15, April&nbsp;15, July&nbsp;15 and October&nbsp;15 of each year,
commencing on April&nbsp;15, 2019 and ending on, and including, January&nbsp;15, 2022. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shares of Common Stock will rank junior to Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of the Company&#146;s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any share of Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distributions will be declared or paid on shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and no Common Stock or any other
class or series stock ranking junior or on parity with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless all
accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of Common Stock has been set aside for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding shares
of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, upon the Company&#146;s voluntary or involuntary liquidation,

plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">winding-up</FONT> or dissolution, to be paid out of the
Company&#146;s assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors and holders of shares of capital stock ranking senior to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to distribution rights upon
the Company&#146;s liquidation, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">winding-up</FONT> or dissolution, and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Mandatory Convertible

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
In connection with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering and the concurrent Common Stock Offering by Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the
"Company") (each described under Item 8.01 below), on January 17, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations ("Certificate of Designations") with the Secretary of State of the State of Missouri to establish the
preferences, limitations and relative rights of its 7.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $100.00 per share, par value $0.01 per share ("Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock"). The Certificate of
Designations became effective upon filing.
The shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into an aggregate of up to
4,076,063 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") (or up to 4,687,472 shares of Common Stock, if the underwriters in Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering exercise their over-allotment
option in full), in each case subject to anti-dilution, make-whole and other adjustments, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations.
Unless
converted or redeemed earlier in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will convert automatically on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be January 15,
2022, into between 1.7892 and 2.1739 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price
per share of Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to January 15, 2022.
Dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the
Company, or an authorized committee thereof, at an annual rate of 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common
Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. If declared, dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year,
commencing on April 15, 2019 and ending on, and including, January 15, 2022.
Shares of Common Stock will rank junior to Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any share of Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distributions will be declared or paid on shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and no Common Stock or any other
class or series stock ranking junior or on parity with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless all
accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of Common Stock has been set aside for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding shares
of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.
In addition, upon the Company's voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
winding-up
or dissolution, each holder of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference in the amount of $100.00 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock,
plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation,
winding-up
or dissolution, to be paid out of the
Company's assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors and holders of shares of capital stock ranking senior to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to distribution rights upon
the Company's liquidation,
winding-up
or dissolution, and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock as to distribution rights upon the Company's liquidation,
winding-up
or dissolution, including, without limitation, Common Stock.
If, on or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on July 31, 2019, the consummation of
the acquisition of the global auto care business of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. ("Spectrum") by the Company, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2018, by and between the Company and Spectrum, has not
occurred on or prior to such time on such date, and (ii) the date the such Acquisition Agreement is terminated or the Company's board of directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that such acquisition will not be consummated on or
prior to July 31, 2019, the Company has the option to redeem the shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, subject to certain terms and conditions.
The holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not have voting rights except as described below and as specifically required by Missouri law
from time to time.
Whenever dividends on any shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of
six or more dividend periods, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a "nonpayment"), the authorized number of directors on the Company's board of directors will, at the next annual meeting of shareholders or at a special
meeting of shareholders as provided below, automatically be increased by two and the holders of record of such shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with holders of record of any and all other series
of voting preferred stock (as defined below) then outstanding, will be entitled, at the next annual or at a special meeting of shareholders of the Company, to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the board of directors
("preferred stock directors"); provided that the election of any such directors will not cause the Company to violate the corporate governance requirements of NYSE (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which its
securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors; and provided further that the board of directors shall, at no time, include more than two preferred stock directors.
In the event of a nonpayment, the holders of at least 25% of the shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series of voting preferred
stock may request that a special meeting of shareholders be called to elect such preferred stock directors (provided, however, to the extent permitted by the Company's bylaws, if the next annual or a special meeting of shareholders is scheduled
to be held within 90 days of the receipt of such request, the election of such preferred stock directors will be included in the agenda for and will be held at such scheduled annual or special meeting of shareholders). The preferred stock directors
will stand for reelection annually, at each subsequent annual meeting of the shareholders, so long as the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock continue to have such voting rights.
At any meeting at which the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to elect preferred stock directors, the holders of a majority of
the then outstanding shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all other series of voting preferred stock, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares of
the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and other voting preferred stock so present or represented by proxy at any such meeting at which there shall be a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the preferred stock directors.
As used in this Form
8-K,
"voting preferred stock" means any class or series of the Company's capital
stock, in addition to and established after the initial issuance of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, ranking on parity with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution rights upon the Company's
liquidation, winding up or dissolution and upon which like voting rights for the election of directors have been conferred and are exercisable. Whether a plurality, majority or other portion in voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred
Stock and any other voting preferred stock have been voted in favor of any matter shall be determined by reference to the respective liquidation preference amounts of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such other voting preferred stock
voted.
If and when all accumulated and unpaid dividends have been paid in full (a "nonpayment remedy"), the holders of the Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock shall immediately and, without any further action by the Company, be divested of the foregoing voting rights, subject to the revesting of such rights in the event of each subsequent nonpayment. If such voting rights for
the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all other holders of voting preferred stock have terminated, the term of office of each preferred stock director so elected will terminate at such time and the authorized number of
directors on the Company's board of directors shall automatically decrease by two.
Any preferred stock director may be removed at any time, with cause as provided by law or without cause by
the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series of voting preferred stock then outstanding (voting together as a class) when they have the voting rights
described above. In the event that a nonpayment shall have occurred and there shall not have been a nonpayment remedy, any vacancy in the office of a preferred stock director (other than prior to the initial election after a nonpayment) may be
filled by the written consent of the preferred stock director remaining in office, except in the event that such vacancy is created as a result of such preferred stock director being removed or if no preferred stock director remains in office, such
vacancy may be filled by a vote of the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series of voting preferred stock then outstanding (voting together as a
single class) when they have the voting rights described above; provided that the election of any such preferred stock directors will not cause the Company to violate the corporate governance requirements of NYSE (or any other exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Company's securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors. The preferred stock directors will each be entitled to one vote per director on
any matter that comes before the Company's board of directors for a vote.
The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have certain other voting
rights with respect to certain amendments to the Company's amended and restated articles of incorporation or the Certificate of Designations or certain other transactions as described in the Certificate of Designations.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including such restrictions, is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments
