(NYSE: SPB, \u201cSpectrum Brands\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today announced that it is more committed and confident than ever that it will complete the sale of its Hardware and Home Improvement segment (\u201cHHI\u201d) to ASSA ABLOY.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20221201006076\/en\/1653449\/5\/SPB_WMLBAH.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nOn September 8, 2021, Spectrum Brands announced an agreement to sell HHI to ASSA ABLOY for $4.3 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments. On September 15, 2022, the United States Department of Justice (\u201cDOJ\u201d) filed a meritless lawsuit to block the closing of the HHI sale. On December 2, 2022, ASSA ABLOY announced an agreement to sell its Emtek and the Smart Residential Business in the U.S. and Canada to Fortune Brands, a strong and experienced player in the home hardware and security markets.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDavid Maura, the Company\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, said, \u201c<!-- no quote -->We have always firmly believed that the sale of HHI to ASSA ABLOY will first and foremost benefit consumers and presents no competition concerns. In ASSA ABLOY\u2019s hands, HHI will be better able to keep up with the fierce competition across today\u2019s home security marketplace and bring consumers better innovation and product choice. We continue to strongly disagree with the DOJ\u2019s position, but in order to ensure that consumers do not lose out on the substantial benefits that will result from the sale of HHI to ASSA ABLOY, the comprehensive proposal announced today was made to resolve DOJ\u2019s purported concerns. The sale of these strong businesses to Fortune Brands will fully and completely resolve any conceivable competitive concerns and will further benefit consumers by enabling Fortune Brands to bring even stronger competition to all segments of the residential security market. We were confident before, and are even more confident now, that we will prevail in the DOJ lawsuit and successfully close our sale of HHI to ASSA ABLOY.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBoth the sale of HHI and the divestitures to Fortune Brands are expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2023 after the successful defense against the DOJ.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nForward-Looking Statements\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWe have made, implied or incorporated by reference certain forward-looking statements in this press release.
