On March 16, 2017, Spectrum Brands, Inc. (“Spectrum”), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of HRG Group, Inc. (“HRG”), launched a repricing transaction which, if successful, would replace all of its U.S. dollar-denominated term loans with new U.S. dollar-denominated term loans that are expected to carry lower interest rate margins but otherwise be on the same terms, including the maturity date. Spectrum expects to close this repricing in April of 2017.

Interested parties should read public filings and other announcements by Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., the indirect parent of Spectrum and a majority owned subsidiary of HRG, for more information regarding the foregoing matters.
