Introduction
Tupperware Brands Corporation (the "Company") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide updates on its operations, including: (a) the status of its delayed filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2022 (the "Form 10-K") and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 (the "Form 10-Q"); (b) anticipated additional deficiencies under the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Listed Company Manual
(the "NYSE Manual")
; and (c) the status of its engagement of financial advisors to further explore strategic alternatives and advise on potential means to improve the Company's liquidity and capital structure.  All items are as described in further detail below.
Item 7.01             Reg FD Disclosure.
2022 Form 10-K and First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q Filings
The Company currently expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") its Form 10-K by mid-July 2023, and its Form 10-Q by early September 2023; however, there can be no assurance that either the Form 10-K or Form 10-Q will be filed by such dates.  The Company previously disclosed on Current Reports on Form 8-K dated March 16, 2023, April 7, 2023 and May 8, 2023 that it has identified multiple prior period misstatements and material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the periods covered by the Form 10-K, and it is continuing its work to finalize its financial close process, including the restatement of its previously issued financial statements, and the identification, quantification, and remediation of material weaknesses, as applicable.  In its Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 7, 2023, the Company also reported its conclusion that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently forecasting non-compliance with certain of its financial covenants in the first quarter of 2023, which will further limit its ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility. The Company believes that if it is unable
to obtain adequate capital resources or further amend its existing credit facilities to provide additional flexibility and/or access to funding under the revolver or otherwise, management anticipates that it will have inadequate liquidity to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations as currently anticipated in the near term, including its principal and interest payment in July 2023, pursuant to its current business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and it may be forced to divest assets, restructure or discontinue its operations entirely.
New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards
The Company reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 7, 2023 that it had
received a notice from the NYSE indicating the Company was not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Manual as a result of its failure to timely file the Form 10-K with the SEC.
The Company currently anticipates it will receive from the NYSE a deficiency notice
for failure to maintain a 30-trading day average market capitalization of $50.0 million, as required by Section 802.01B of the NYSE Manual, and potentially an additional deficiency for failure to maintain a 30-trading day average closing share price of $1.00, as required by Section 802.01C of the NYSE Manual. The Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K within the required time period following receipt of any such notice of non-compliance with NYSE continued listing criteria.
Moelis & Company LLC; Chief Restructuring Officer
As previously disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 8, 2023, the Company engaged Moelis & Company LLC ("Moelis") to run a process to explore strategic alternatives, and both Moelis and a Chief Restructuring Officer to advise on potential means to improve the Company's liquidity and capital structure and other strategic transactions. The process is underway and ongoing; however, there can be no assurance such process or advice will lead to a transaction or improvement in the Company's liquidity or capital structure.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including with respect to the timing of the filing of the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q, certain non-compliance under the credit facilities, and potential deficiency notices from the NYSE. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: whether the Company will identify additional errors in previously issued financial statements, and other risks identified in the Company's most recent filing on Form 10-K and other SEC filings, all of which are available on the Company's website. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements unless otherwise required by law.
