Item
2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Item
3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing
Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 4, 2008, Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the "
Company
")
received written notice from the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("
NYSE
")
that the Company had fallen below the NYSE's continued listing standard
set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because
over a 30 trading-day period the Company's total market capitalization
was less than $75 million and, at the same time, its stockholders’
equity was less than $75 million. As of October 31, 2008, the Company's
30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $72.4
million, and in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 29, 2008, the Company reported a shareholders' deficit of
approximately $511.6 million.
Under applicable NYSE rules, the Company has 45 calendar days from
receipt of the notice to submit a plan that demonstrates its ability to
achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months
of receipt of the notice. Upon receipt of the Company's plan, the NYSE
has 45 calendar days to review and determine whether the Company has
made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to come into conformity
with the relevant standard(s) within the 18 month period. The NYSE will
either accept the plan at which time the Company will be subject to
ongoing monitoring for compliance with this plan, or the Committee will
not accept the plan and the Company will be subject to suspension and
delisting proceedings. As required by the NYSE's rules, the Company
plans to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the
non-compliance notice of its intent to submit a plan to remedy its
non-compliance.
As required under NYSE rules, the Company issued a Press Release on
November 5, 2008, announcing that it had received the notice and that
the Company intends to submit a plan to attain compliance with NYSE
continued listing standards. In its press release, the Company noted
that it plans to report its results on November 11, 2008 and that it
ended the fiscal year with approximately $105 million in cash and $108
million of availability on its $225 million asset-based senior credit
facility and in compliance with the requirements under its senior and
subordinated debt agreements. A copy of this press release is attached
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Forward Looking Information
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking
statements, which are based on the Company's current expectations and
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions the reader that
actual results could differ materially from the expectations described
in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include
(1) the risk that the NYSE notice disrupts current plans and operations;
(2) difficulty or unanticipated expenses in connection with timely
developing a plan to achieve compliance that is acceptable to the NYSE,
(3) the potential for the Company to be considered below criteria with
respect to other NYSE listing standards and (4) other factors, which can
be found in the Company’s securities filings, including the most
recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. The Company also cautions the reader that undue reliance should
not be placed on any of the forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company
undertakes no responsibility to update any of these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
report or to reflect actual outcomes.
