As of the date hereof, the Board knows of no other matters to be brought before the meeting. The persons named on the proxy are authorized to vote in

POSSIBLE CHANGE IN ANNUAL
MEETING
We are monitoring the public health impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The health and
well-being of our employees, stockholders, directors, officers, and other stakeholders are paramount. If public health developments warrant, we may change the date or location of the annual meeting, including the possibility that we may hold the
annual meeting through a virtual or online method. Any such change will be announced as promptly as practicable, through a press release and a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as any other notification
required by state law.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR BOARD
We believe that communications between the Board, our stockholders and other interested parties are an important part of our corporate governance.
Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with our Board, our Audit Committee, our Compensation Committee, our NCG Committee, any individual director, or all non-management directors as a
group, by mailing such communications to the following address: c/o Ehsan Zargar, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary at Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., 3001 Deming Way, Middleton, WI 53562.
If the letter is from a stockholder, the letter should state that the sender is a stockholder. Under a process approved by our Board and defined in the
Corporate Governance Guidelines, depending on the subject matter, management will:
|
|
|
forward the letter to the director or directors to whom it is addressed; |
|
|
|
attempt to handle the matter directly (as where information about the Company or its stock is requested); or
|
|
|
|
not forward the letter if it is primarily commercial in nature or relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.
|
A summary of all relevant communications that are received after the last meeting of the full Board, or of non-management directors, and which are not forwarded will be presented at each Board meeting along with any specific communication requested by a director.
Stockholders and other interested parties who have concerns or complaints relating to accounting, internal accounting controls or other matters may
contact the Audit Committee by writing to the following address:
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.
Attention: Audit Committee Chair
3001 Deming Way
Middleton, WI 53562
All communications will be
handled in a confidential manner, to the extent practicable and permitted by law. Communications may be made on an anonymous basis; however, in these cases the reporting individual must provide sufficient details for the matter to be reviewed and
resolved. The Company will not tolerate any retaliation against an employee who makes a good faith report.
