Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that all outstanding shares of its 7.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), on January 18, 2022 (the “Conversion Date”) at a rate of 2.1739 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock. No action by holders of Preferred Stock is required in connection with the conversion. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. The conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will result in the issuance of approximately 4.7 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

As previously announced, shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 1, 2022 will separately receive a final quarterly cash dividend of $1.875 per share on the Preferred Stock on January 15, 2022.

Following the Conversion Date, shares of Preferred Stock will no longer be outstanding and all rights of the holders with respect to such Preferred Stock, including dividend rights, will terminate, except for the right to receive the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock, as described above. Upon conversion, the Preferred Stock will be delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
