Spectrum Brands Holdings SPB HPC — Equity ownership

On May 1, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, through its indirect subsidiaries, for a strategic investment from funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management LP ("Oaktree") in its HPC business for $127.0 million in cash proceeds, before transaction costs and other fees, which effectively closed on May 11, 2026 (the "HPC Transaction"). The HPC Transaction consists of $67.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred equity ("HPC Preferred Equity") and $60.0 million in proceeds, less a $2.4 million original issuance discount, in the form of a first lien term loan on the HPC business ("HPC Term Loan"). Of the $67.0 million of HPC Preferred Equity, approximately $5.8 million was deferred until the completion of certain international regulatory approvals ("Deferred Purchase"), resulting in $61.2 million of HPC Preferred Equity having been issued as of the transaction close on May 11, 2026. Subsequently, all regulatory approvals were achieved and the Company closed on the Deferred Purchase on July 8, 2026. As of June 28, 2026, Oaktree held a 24.9% equity ownership in the HPC business which has subsequently increased to approximately 27.3% upon consummation of the Deferred Purchase. The noncontrolling equity holder holds a minority of board seats. The Company continues to consolidate the HPC business and report it as a reportable segment. The HPC Preferred Equity is recognized as Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and is classified as mezzanine equity due to contingent redemption being outside the control of the Company. See Note 8 - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest for further discussion. See Note 7 - Debt for further discussion on the HPC Term Loan.
