All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Part I. Item 1. Business. Our Company Energizer Holdings, Inc. (Energizer), through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance and appearance products. Energizer is the beneficiary of over 100 years of expertise in the battery and portable lighting products industries. Its brand names, Energizer® and Eveready®, have worldwide recognition for innovation, quality and dependability, and are marketed and sold around the world. On July 1, 2015, Energizer completed its legal separation from our former parent company, Edgewell Personal Care Company (Edgewell), via a tax free spin-off (the Spin-off or Spin). On January 15, 2018, Energizer entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (Spectrum) to acquire its global battery, lighting and portable power business (Spectrum battery acquisition) for a purchase price of $2.0 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The transaction was subject to various conditions, including regulatory approval. The Company has received required regulatory approval, with the exception of the European Commission (EC). On November 15, 2018, we entered into an amended definitive acquisition agreement with Spectrum and proposed a remedy for consideration to the EC. The remedy set forth by Energizer includes the divestiture of the Europe-based Varta® consumer battery business, including manufacturing and distribution facilities in Germany. Based on the original purchase price, net of anticipated divestiture proceeds, the Company now expects our net purchase price to be in the range of $1.4 to $1.5 billion. Contingent upon the EC’s approval of the proposed remedy, Energizer expects to close the Spectrum battery acquisition at the beginning of calendar year 2019. On November 15, 2018, Energizer entered into a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire Spectrum’s global auto care business, including Armor All®, STP®, and A/C PRO® brands, for a purchase price of $1.25 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments (Spectrum auto care acquisition). The purchase price is comprised of an estimated $938 million in cash and $312 million of newly-issued equity to Spectrum. The Spectrum auto care acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second fiscal quarter of 2019. Energizer operates as an independent, publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, trading under the symbol "ENR."
