(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively, “Tupperware” or the “Company” or “Tupperware”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. The Company prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the Company'sCompany’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of results.results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. As such, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 20212022 Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2022 10-K”) for the year ended December 25, 2021.31, 2022. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Discontinued OperationsFiscal Quarter

DiscontinuedThe Company’s quarterly periods are the 13 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The first quarter in fiscal year 2023 and 2022 ended on April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, respectively.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As previously disclosed in the Company's 2022 10-K filed with the SEC on October 16, 2023, the Company restated its previously issued unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information for the first three quarters of 2022 and all quarters of 2021 and its 2021 and 2020 annual Consolidated Financial Statements due to multiple prior period misstatements. The accompanying 2022 Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been restated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the Company has corrected the accompanying footnotes in connection with the restatement see Note 21: Restated Previously Issued 2022 Financial Statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation and are not the result of an error in classification, but are separately presented on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for additional visibility.

For the quarter ended April 1, 2023, Short-term restricted cash and Long-term restricted cash, which were reported as a component of Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets, net, respectively, in the 2022 10-K, are now separately presented. In the 2022 10-K, Trade name, net was presented separately, but is presented as a component of Other assets, net at the quarter ended April 1, 2023. Additionally, for the quarter ended April 1, 2023, Income taxes payable and Long-term deferred income taxes, which were reported as a component of Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities, respectively, in the 2022 10-K, are now separately presented.

The reclassifications had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit.

Going Concern and Liquidity

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Going Concern, the Company evaluates whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This evaluation includes considerations related to financial and other covenants contained in the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) as well as the Company’s forecasted liquidity.

Table of contents

The Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As described in Note 7: Debt, the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into the Credit Agreement Amendments (as defined below), many of which were to address, among other things, expected non-compliance by the Company with the financial covenants under its Credit Agreement given that the Company was forecasting that it would not meet such financial covenants absent such modifications.

The Company classified $709.3 million of borrowings under its Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2022 as a current obligation in its 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet, as a result of the continued expectation that it would not meet certain of its financial and non-financial covenants under its Amended Credit Agreement absent additional modifications.

As previously disclosed, the Company had no ability to borrow further under its revolving credit facility (the “Revolver Facility”) until August 2, 2023, when it entered into the Debt Restructuring Agreement (the “DRA”), which enabled immediate access to up to $21.0 million on the Revolver Facility subject to liquidity and other cash covenants. While the Company believed when entering into the DRA that it would provide additional flexibility to fund its operations includeand satisfy its obligations as then anticipated in the near term, it also imposed new covenants, including liquidity covenants requiring the use of excess cash for debt reduction. On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), amending, modifying, and otherwise affecting the Amended Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders party thereto have agreed to forbear from exercising any of their respective rights and remedies, and from directing the Administrative Agent to exercise any of the rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent has agreed to forbear from unilaterally exercising any of its rights and remedies, in each case, arising under the Credit Agreement and applicable law as a result of the occurrence and continuance of certain key brandsspecified existing and anticipated defaults and events of default (the “Specified Defaults”) until the earlier of (a) June 30, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time and (b) the date and time on which the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the majority Lenders) elects to terminate such forbearance after the occurrence and during the continuance of certain other defaults and/or events of default or breaches of certain representations and warranties (the “Forbearance Period”). The Forbearance Agreement, among other things, (a) required, as a condition to effectiveness, the Borrowers to make a principal payment in respect of the USD Term A Loans in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $10.9 million, (b) permits the Borrowers to continue to access the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, during the Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the existence of the Specified Defaults, but limits availability thereunder to approximately $36.4 million, (c) alleviates and/or otherwise modifies certain of the mandatory prepayment requirements in respect of asset sales and tax refunds set forth in the Credit Agreement during the Forbearance Period, (d) reduces the Company’s weekly minimum U.S. liquidity requirement under the Credit Agreement from $15.0 million to $10.0 million during the Forbearance Period, (e) modifies certain of the Company’s beauty business including House of Fuller, Nutrimetics,financial and Nuvo. Avroy Shlain was sold inother reporting obligations under the first quarter of 2021. As of the first quarter of 2022,Credit Agreement, and (f) requires the Company was completing final customary closing arrangementsto comply with certain specified milestones with respect to business planning and repayment transactions during the buyerForbearance Period. Given the uncertainties around the Company’s liquidity, ability to execute its revised business plan, and ability to comply (and current non-compliance) with covenants under its Credit Agreement, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for Houseat least one year from the date of Fuller. issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

If the Company raises funds in the future by issuing additional debt securities, these debt securities will likely have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of stockholders. The ability to raise additional debt is subject to the limitations, conditions and preferences of the Amended Credit Agreement and anticipated future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, which will continue to impact the cost of debt financing. In addition, the Company is reviewing its real property portfolio for real estate available for potential dispositions, or sale-leaseback transactions, and is exploring right-sizing efforts, monetization of fixed assets, enhancing cash management, and marketing and channel optimization, to deliver additional liquidity, within this calendar year; however the timing, amount and ability to effect such dispositions is uncertain. As the aforementioned actions are conditional upon the receipt of offers and execution of agreements with new or existing investors or the execution of sales agreements with third parties, which are considered outside of the Company’s control, there is no assurance of the timing or outcome of these actions, and as a result they are not considered probable of occurring until such time as they are completed.

As a result of the third quartervolatility of 2021,the Company’s earnings and ability to generate cash from operations, coupled with the increased levels and cost of borrowings under its Revolver Facility, the Company determinedforecasts that it will not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations and meet its financial obligations in the near term.

As mentioned above, the Company is also in violation of certain non-financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement as of the date of the filing of these dispositions representedfinancial statements, which has resulted in certain defaults and/or events of default under the Amended Credit Agreement. In particular, the report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm accompanying the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a strategic shift thatgoing concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

ForStandards Recently Adopted

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326) (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting model for creditors that have adopted Topic 326. All other creditors must continue to apply the TDR accounting model until they adopt Topic 326. Due to the removal of the TDR accounting model, all loan modifications will now be accounted for under the general loan modification guidance in Subtopic ASC 310-20, “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. In addition, on a prospective basis, entities will be subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter ended March 26, 2022,of 2023 and the Company's business activities continue to be impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”), most notably in Asia where lockdowns persist and infection ratesadoption did not have increased. In addition, the Company's business activities, particularly in Europe, experienced volatility and were impacted by the Russia/Ukraine conflict. As a result, many of the Company's estimates and assumptions require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company's estimates may change materially in future periods.any material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

supplier finance programs to allow financial statement users to understand the effect on working capital, liquidity, and cash flows. The new guidance requires disclosure of key terms of the program, including a description of the payment terms, payment timing and assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided to the finance provider or intermediary. Other requirements include the disclosure of the amount that remains unpaid as of the end of the reporting period, a description of where these obligations are presented in the balance sheet and a rollforward of the obligation during the annual period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the rollforward, which is effective in 2024. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2023 and the adoption did not have any material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Since earlyIn March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), and in December 2022 subsequently issued ASU 2022-06, to temporarily ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to existing contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance was effective upon issuance and can generally be applied through December 31, 2024. The Company has followedadopted this guidance fromduring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC")first quarter of 2023 and the World Health Organization ("WHO")adoption did not have any material impact on actions required by individuals and businesses following the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since 2020 the pandemic has impacted worldwide economic activity and many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease. These policies, such as shelter-in-place orders, travel restrictions, and quarantine requirements, remained in place for a significant period of time, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses and restrictions on travel and in-person gatherings. The Company has continued to respond by taking actions to keep employees protected, support the Company's global sales force and their communities, and maintain business continuity.

Equity

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a new Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), under which the Company paid $75.0 million and received an initial share delivery of 3,438,264 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, which were immediately retired. The initial number of shares received was calculated as 75% of the $75.0 million divided by the price of the Company's common stock on February 25, 2022 of $16.36. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement, the final number of shares for the remaining 25% of $75.0 million to be repurchased by the Company will be determined upon settlement of the agreement on or before June 28, 2022. Wells Fargo has the right to invoke an accelerated valuation date of May 27, 2022. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average price of its common stock over the duration of the ASR agreement, less a discount.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which is an update to FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” issued in 2012. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require, among other things, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The annual and interim disclosures are: the significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; and the reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280. Additionally, the update allows for the reporting of additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss, requires the disclosure of the chief operating decision maker’s title and position, and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measure in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Adoption should apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2: Distribution Costs
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, and provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 requires that public business entities on an annual basis disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). Additionally ASU 2023-09 requires that all entities disclose on an annual basis information about income taxes paid, income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has continued to execute on a turnaround plan originally developed in 2020 (the “Turnaround Plan”), one that was developed in order to leverage consumer acceptance of the iconic Tupperware brand, and which was expected to give the Company the ability to expand into new product categories, increase consumer access points, and grow distribution channels, all while strengthening the Company’s core direct selling business.

A deteriorating macroeconomic environment, which included increasing inflationary pressures, sharply rising interest rates, and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against most major currencies, coupled with increasing geopolitical tensions and deteriorating consumer confidence, further eroded the Company’s underlying business economics and liquidity in 2022. The Company took additional restructuring actions, which pushed out the Turnaround Plan timeline, and evolved the Turnaround Plan into a new Transformation Plan, as further described below.

The key elements of the Turnaround Plan include:
the Company’s right-sizing plans to improve profitability,
accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet,
restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity, and
structurally fixing the Company’s core business to create a more sustainable business model.

1113

Table of contents
As part of the Turnaround Plan, the Company embarked on the following actions:
engaged a financial advisor to assist in securing supplemental financing,
appointed a Chief Restructuring Officer,
appointed three new directors to its Board with significant restructuring experience,
entered into the DRA with its bank group (see Note 7: Debt),
reviewing its real property portfolio for potential monetization opportunities (see Note 4: Sale-Leaseback Transactions),
deferring certain growth capital spending with payback of more than a year, and
prioritizing re-engineering actions with short-term return.

In line with the Turnaround Plan, the Company decided to dispose of the operations of certain key brands of the Company’s beauty business to better focus on the core business. The Company completed this aspect of the Turnaround Plan with the sale of 100% of its shares in Nuvo on August 7, 2023. See Note 3: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations and Note 4: Sale-Leaseback Transactions.

While the DRA (as amended) provides additional flexibility to fund operations and satisfy obligations, it also imposes new covenants, including liquidity covenants requiring the use of excess cash for debt reduction. See Note 7: Debt. The provisions of the DRA required the Company to provide a revised transformation plan to its creditors, which was provided in 2024 (the “Transformation Plan”). This Transformation Plan was developed by the reconstituted Board and Executive leadership team described above. The Transformation Plan focuses on steps to further simplify the Company’s core business with digital transformation and global exchange of best-selling practices supporting growing revenues. The Company expects to continue shifting from a distributor push model to a consumer pull model to capture the needs of today’s customer sets; opening up access to Tupperware products in channels where today’s consumers want to shop as part of its omnichannel evolution; and expanding into new product categories to bring more innovative solutions to the market. The timing and investment in support of the Transformation Plan could most likely be constrained by the Company’s liquidity.

The key elements of the Transformation Plan include continuation of the following actions begun under the Turnaround Plan:
prioritization of re-engineering actions with short-term return,
supply chain rationalization,
the Company’s right-sizing plans to improve profitability, and
restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity.

As part of the Transformation Plan, the Company has embarked on the following incremental actions:
engaging in discussions with potential investors or financing partners, with respect to potential financing transactions, such as issuing equity securities where dilution to stockholders is highly likely to occur,
optimization of the Company’s distribution network,
expansion of retail sales through new outlets such as further online sales and social media, and
driving digital transformation within the Company.

Re-engineering and impairment charges relate to headcount reductions and facility downsizing and closures. See Note 15: Re-engineering and Impairment Charges.


Note 3: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations

One of the key elements of the Turnaround Plan was the divestiture of non-core assets such as the Company’s beauty business. The dispositions of the Company’s beauty business included the sale of Avroy Shlain in 2021, House of Fuller in the second quarter of 2022, and Nutrimetics in the third quarter of 2022. The Company completed this aspect of the Turnaround Plan with the sale of 100%

Table of contents
of its shares in Nuvo on August 7, 2023. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, the Company no longer has any assets or liabilities classified as held for sale.

As these dispositions represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on its results of operations, the Company has reflected the results of the beauty businesses as discontinued operations including all comparative prior period information in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain costs previously allocated to the beauty business for segment reporting purposes do not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations.

Approximately $132.7 million of currency translation losses and $30.1 million of currency translation gains in accumulated other comprehensive income and the equivalent amount of the contra-asset and liability were derecognized and removed from the balance sheet in the second quarter of 2022 and third quarter of 2022 upon the completion of the sale of House of Fuller Mexico and Nutrimetics, respectively. Upon the completion of the sale of Nuvo, $7.4 million of currency translation gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were derecognized from the balance sheet in the third quarter of 2023, and offset the gain(loss) on held for sale assets and dispositions on the income statement.

Another key element of the Turnaround Plan was reviewing the Company’s real property portfolio for potential monetization opportunities. In the first quarter of 2023, the Indonesia warehouse and office, with a carrying value of $5.8 million, was reclassified from Property, plant and equipment, net to Long-term assets held for sale. This Long-term assets held for sale was subsequently derecognized in the second quarter of 2023 in accordance with the Indonesia warehouse and office sale lease-back transaction further described in Note 4: Sale-Leaseback Transactions:

Note 4: Sale-leaseback Transactions

As described in Note 2: Turnaround Plan, the Company executed on accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet which included the sale of certain owned properties. Accordingly, the properties described below have been sold. The Company determined that the sale of the two properties described below did not represent a strategic shift and will not have a major effect on its results of operations as the Company will leaseback most of the facilities on these properties. The sales proceeds from certain of these sales are required to be applied to pay down the term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement and will generally not be available for working capital purposes. In addition, once the Company determines that management has committed to a disposal plan that is unlikely to change, the property is available for sale in its immediate condition, the sale is probable and it is being actively marketed at a price that makes it likely to conclude within twelve months, then the property meets the criteria in ASC 360-10-45 which requires that the property be reclassified as held for sale and depreciation ceases. As both of these were actively being marketed in the first quarter of 2023 and the preceding conditions were met, the Company determined that the properties should be classified as held for sale. See Note 3: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations for material properties that were recorded as long-term assets held for sale.

ASC 842-40-30 requires sale-leaseback transactions to be accounted for at fair value, based on the fair value of the property sold or the rents agreed to, whichever is more reliably determinable. Generally the Company has determined the fair value of the property sold is more reliably determinable as in material transactions the Company receives an independent valuation while in the marketing phase. Accordingly, the cash terms of a sale-leaseback may not correspond with the final accounting determination. Any incremental fair value in excess of the sale is deemed to be an increase in the sale price received resulting in an increase to the gain with an incremental right of use asset to be amortized over the determined lease term.

In October 2023, the Company sold its Hemingway, South Carolina manufacturing plant for a cash purchase price of $15.0 million while the fair value of the property was determined to be $22.0 million based on a market assessment. The incremental fair value of $7.0 million was reflected pursuant to the accounting set forth above as additional gain on sale and was deferred as additional right of use asset which will be amortized over the leaseback term. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company also entered into a leaseback agreement for an initial lease term of 14 months, an additional renewal option of 6 months, and the further ability to extend upon mutual agreement. A cash prepayment of rent in the amount of $3.0 million for the initial 12 months was made concurrent with the sale-leaseback transaction.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold its Indonesia warehouse and office for a cash purchase price of $12.2 million. The $5.8 million carrying value of the properties approximated the fair value based on an assessment of the sublease rental rate. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company agreed to leaseback its warehouse for an initial lease term of three years. The Company also entered into a lease agreement for new office space with an initial term of two years.

Note 3: Promotional Costs

The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent Sales Force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for other activities. These activities are ancillary to the Company’s business, but considered separate and distinct services from sales, which are measured by defined group/team sales levels, party attendance, addition of new Sales Force members, or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of product awards, special prizes, or trips.

Programs are generally designed to recognize Sales Force members for achieving a primary objective. An example is holding a certain number of product demonstrations. In this situation, the Company offers a prize to Sales Force members that achieve the targeted number of product demonstrations over a specified period. The period runs from a couple of weeks to several months. The prizes are generally graded, in that meeting one level may result in receiving a piece of jewelry, with higher achievement resulting in more valuable prizes such as a television or a trip. Similar programs are designed to reward current Sales Force members who reach certain goals by promoting them to a higher level in the organization where their earning opportunity would be expanded, and they would take on additional responsibilities for adding new Sales Force members and providing training and motivation to new and existing Sales Force members. Other business drivers, such as scheduling product demonstrations, increasing the number of Sales Force members, holding product demonstrations, or increasing end consumer attendance at product demonstrations, may also be the focus of a program.

The Company also offers commissions for achieving targeted sales levels. These types of awards are generally based upon the sales achievement of at least a mid-level member of the Sales Force, and her or his down-line members. The down-line consists of those Sales Force members that have been directly added to the Sales Force by a given Sales Force member, as well as those added by her or his down-line member. In this manner, Sales Force members can build an extensive organization over time if they are committed to adding and developing their units. In addition to the commission, the positive performance of a unit may also entitle its leader to the use of a Company-provided vehicle and in some cases, the permanent awarding of a vehicle. Similar to the prize programs noted earlier, these programs generally offer varying levels of vehicles that are dependent upon performance.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the Sales Force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored and changes to the original estimates are made when known.

Re-engineering charges are mainly related to the “Turnaround Plan” which launched in mid-2020 with the new leadership. The key elements of the Turnaround Plan include: increasing the Company's right-sizing plans to improve profitability, accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet, restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity, and structurally fixing the Company’s core business to create a more sustainable business model. Re-engineering charges are primarily related to severance costs, outside consulting services, and facility costs. The Company expects re-engineering expenses to continue this year and next year related to the Turnaround Plan. Total charges incurred to date related to the Turnaround Plan are approximately $44.5 million, $37.7 million related to severance charges, and $6.8 million related to other charges, primarily consulting costs. The Company expects to incur $15.0 million to $20.0 million of Turnaround Plan charges in 2022.

Effective tax rate73.1 %32.0 %

The change in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to first quarter of 2021, was primarily due to:

negative impact of the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) regime, which results in no benefit for any losses incurred in the U.S.
unfavorable mix of income between our U.S. and Non U.S. operations that drive the Company’s tax expense
additional valuation allowance on disallowed interest expense due to the change in 163j rules from EBIDTA to EBIT. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for interest carryforwards.

There was no change in the first quarter of 2022 to the uncertain tax position reserves. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is currently under examination or contesting proposed adjustments by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years ranging from 2004 through 2020. It is reasonably possible that there could be a significant decrease or increase to the unrecognized tax benefit balance during the course of the next twelve months as these examinations continue, other tax examinations commence or various statutes of limitations expire. While the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease related to audits in various foreign jurisdictions that may conclude during that period or new developments that could also, in turn, impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. An estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made for remaining unrecognized tax benefits because of the significant number of jurisdictions in which the Company does business and the number of open tax periods.

Note 7: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic (loss) earnings per share - Total is calculated by dividing net loss by the basic weighted-average shares. Diluted (loss) earnings per share - Total is calculated by also considering the impact of dilutive securities such as stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance share units on both net loss and the basic weighted-average shares.

Credit Agreement

On November 23, 2021, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tupperware Products AG, Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and each of the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Company subsequently entered into the following amendments to the Credit Agreement:

the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of August 1, 2022 (the “First Amendment”),
the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of December 21, 2022 (the “Second Amendment”),
the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of February 22, 2023 (the “Third Amendment”),
the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver of Borrowing Conditions dated as of May 5, 2023 (the “Fourth Amendment”),
the Limited Waiver of Mandatory Prepayment and Payment Deferral Agreement dated as of June 30, 2023 (the “Waiver”),
the Debt Restructuring Agreement dated as of August 2, 2023 (the “DRA”),
the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of October 5, 2023 (the “Fifth Amendment”),
the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of December 22, 2023 (the “Sixth Amendment”), and
the Forbearance Agreement dated as of February 13, 2024 (the “Forbearance Agreement”).
Collectively the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Waiver, the DRA, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, and the Forbearance Agreement are referred to as the “Credit Agreement Amendments” and the Credit Agreement as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendments, the “Amended Credit Agreement.”

Each of the Credit Agreement Amendments affected the terms of our Credit Agreement as set forth in more detail in our 2022 10-K or, in case of the Sixth Amendment and the Forbearance Agreement as otherwise disclosed. As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Credit Agreement Amendments, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for:
global tranche revolving commitments (“Global Tranche Revolving Commitments” and the loans made pursuant thereto “Global Tranche Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate amount equal to $38.4 million (provided that global tranche revolving

credit exposure may not exceed $36.4 million during the forbearance period contemplated by the Forbearance Agreement), which includes a sub-facility for letter of credit issuances in the amount of $22.3 million, maturing July 31, 2025,
term loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $425.0 million (“USD Term A Loans”) maturing July 31, 2025,
term loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $156.4 million (“USD Term C Loans”) maturing July 31, 2027, and
term loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to €173.4 million (“EUR Term D Loans”) maturing July 31, 2027.

The Company (the “Parent Borrower”) and Tupperware Products AG (the “Subsidiary Borrower”) are the only borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are (a) guaranteed by (i) with respect to the Subsidiary Borrower, the Parent Borrower and (ii) with respect to both the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrower, each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (each a “Guarantor”) and (b) secured by substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and Material Real Property (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of the Parent Borrower and each Guarantor and all products, profits and proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

Beginning with the DRA in the third quarter as disclosed (above), the Global Tranche Revolving Loans and the USD Term A Loans (the “2025 Maturity Date Loans”) accrue interest at either (depending on the Company’s election from time to time) (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Interbank Average (“SONIA”) plus 6.00% per annum or (b) the Base Rate plus 5.00% per annum (in each case, subject to increase as described below) and the Company incurs a commitment fee of 0.925% on the unfunded portion of the Global Tranche Revolving Commitments, all of which is payable in cash. The USD Term C Loans and the EUR Term D Loans (the “2027 Maturity Date Loans”) accrue interest at a per annum rate of 14.00%, which is payable in kind, and thus capitalized thereon and increasing the principal balance thereof, on a quarterly basis.

On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), amending, modifying, and otherwise affecting the Amended Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders party thereto have agreed to forbear from exercising any of their respective rights and remedies, and from directing the Administrative Agent to exercise any of the rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent has agreed to forbear from unilaterally exercising any of its rights and remedies, in each case, arising under the Credit Agreement and applicable law as a result of the occurrence and continuance of certain specified existing and anticipated defaults and events of default (the “Specified Defaults”) until the earlier of (a) June 30, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time and (b) the date and time on which the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the majority Lenders) elects to terminate such forbearance after the occurrence and during the continuance of certain other defaults and/or events of default or breaches of certain representations and warranties (the “Forbearance Period”).

The Forbearance Agreement, among other things, (a) required, as a condition to effectiveness, the Borrowers to make a principal payment in respect of the USD Term A Loans in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $10.9 million, (b) permits the Borrowers to continue to access the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, during the Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the existence of the Specified Defaults, but limits availability thereunder to approximately $36.4 million, (c) alleviates and/or otherwise modifies certain of the mandatory prepayment requirements in respect of asset sales and tax refunds set forth in the Credit Agreement during the Forbearance Period, (d) reduces the Company’s weekly minimum U.S. liquidity requirement under the Credit Agreement from $15.0 million to $10.0 million during the Forbearance Period, (e) modifies certain of the Company’s financial and other reporting obligations under the Credit Agreement, and (f) requires the Company to comply with certain specified milestones with respect to business planning and repayment transactions during the Forbearance Period. Given the uncertainties around the Company’s liquidity, ability to execute its revised business plan, and ability to comply (and current non-compliance) with covenants under its Amended Credit Agreement, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2: Turnaround Plan.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for, subject to the terms of, and the modifications and other matters provided in, the Forbearance Agreement:
mandatory amortization payments:
on the USD Term A Loans in an amount equal to (a) $1.8 million on the last day of each calendar quarter during calendar year 2024 and (b) $3.5 million on the last day of each of the first two calendar quarters during calendar year 2025, and
in respect of (a) the USD Term C Loans in an amount equal to $1.8 million and (b) the EUR Term D Loans in an amount equal to €1.6 million, in each case, on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing December 31, 2025,
mandatory prepayments with net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances and extraordinary receipts in excess of $2.5 million and from certain tax refunds in excess of $3.0 million, in each case, in the aggregate during any fiscal year, and
19

Table of contents
mandatory prepayments of borrowings of the Revolving Facility with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the U.S. Loan Parties in excess of $7.0 million.

The Amended Credit Agreement also provides, subject to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, for the payment of:
an approximately $16.2 million restructuring fee (the “Restructuring Fee”), which was originally due and payable in 2027 but has, subject to the Forbearance Agreement, become due and payable due to certain payment events of default, and
a $10.0 million facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), whichwas originally due and payable in 2025 and was previously able to be waived in whole or in part based on the Company’s satisfaction of certain Repayment Incentive Milestones (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) but has, subject to the Forbearance Agreement, become due and payable due to certain payment events of default.

In light of the Facility Fee having become due and payable as described above, waivers of the Facility Fee are no longer permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement. On the date immediately following the date any Repayment Incentive Milestone is not satisfied, the following will occur, (i) the Company will incur a 0.50% increase in interest rates for the 2025 Maturity Date Loans; provided that if the Company thereafter satisfies a Repayment Incentive Milestone, such interest rates will be automatically reduced, on the date immediately following such Repayment Incentive Milestone Date, by the aggregate amount of increases thereto effectuated pursuant to the failure to satisfy any Repayment Incentive Milestone (and that are still in effect) and (ii) certain warrants issued to the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the Company representing in total an aggregate of approximately 2.00% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of the grant date will become exercisable. The matters described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) have occurred as a result of, and with respect to, the Company’s failure to fully satisfy the January 31, 2024 Repayment Incentive Milestone.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that include a maximum capital expenditure covenant, a minimum liquidity covenant, a minimum earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) covenant, a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant, a maximum net leverage ratio covenant, an anti-cash hoarding covenant and a covenant restricting cash held by subsidiaries of the Company that are not U.S. Loan Parties as well as affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, compliance with laws, delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements, the delivery of weekly account balance reports and account lists, the delivery of weekly 13-week cash flow forecasts and variance reports, the continued retention of a chief restructuring officer until the CRO Release Date (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments and other customary covenants. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes events of default relating to customary matters (and customary notice and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events. However, as previously disclosed on February 13, 2024, the Lenders party to the Forbearance Agreement agreed, during the Forbearance Period, to forbear from exercising any of their respective rights and remedies arising under the Amended Credit Agreement and applicable law as a result of the occurrence and continuance of certain specified existing and anticipated breaches of certain of the foregoing covenants.

Debt Restructuring Agreement Modification
As the Company entered into certain of the Credit Agreement Amendments within the preceding twelve months, the Company compared the terms of each of the most recent modification(s) to the terms of its Credit Agreement that existed as of the last extinguishment, or the terms twelve months prior, whichever was applicable. The DRA did not provide a concession in terms affecting cash flows and the effective interest rate increased accordingly, the Company accounted for the DRA under ASC Subtopic 470-50. The DRA was considered not substantially different from the original debt arrangement, resulting in this being considered a modification, because cash flows were not changed by greater than 10.0% under the testing methodology set forth in ASC Subtopic 470-50.

Under modification accounting, the related fees to lenders are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate and previous fees are written off while fees to third parties are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, the Restructuring Fee totaling $16.2 million and the Facility Fee totaling $10.0 million were initially deferred in the third quarter of 2023, along with the fair value of the warrants, which totaled $9.3 million. However, as all previously deferred fees were written off in 2022 due to the Company’s forecasted noncompliance with its covenants, no previously deferred fees were expensed in this modification. The Restructuring Fee, Facility Fee, conversion of accrued interest, and conversion of accrued fees of $16.2 million, $10.0 million, $18.2 million, and $4.0 million, respectively represent non-cash financing activities in the third quarter of 2023 statement of cash flows. In addition the conversion of the outstanding revolver balances of $200.0 million and $171.6 million to loan principal in the first and third quarters of 2023, respectively represent non-cash financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Further, as the Company continues to forecast noncompliance absent receiving additional waivers, all fees related to the DRA totaling $35.5 million were charged to Loss on financing transactions in this modification immediately after the initial deferral.
20

Table of contents

The DRA warrants were determined to be detachable and separately exercisable from the host debt instrument but were not considered indexed to the Company’s common stock due to contingent provisions outside the Company’s control which could result in their cash settlement in certain circumstances. As a result, these were treated as incremental fees on the related debt and the liability included in Accrued liabilities with future changes in their fair value being reflected in earnings. These fees were treated consistent with other fees associated with the DRA as described in the preceding paragraph.

As a result of the Third Amendment, the Global Tranche Revolving Commitments were reduced by $30.0 million. Between May and August 2023, the Company had no availability to borrow further under its Revolver Facility until it entered into the DRA, which provided availability of up to $21.0 million in Global Tranche Revolving Commitments, subject to liquidity and other covenants. In addition, upon entering into the DRA, $18.2 million of interest and $4.0 million of accrued fees were converted to outstanding debt. During the fourth quarter of 2023, $20.0 million of interest was converted to outstanding debt. The Forbearance Agreement, among other things, required a principal payment of the USD Term A Loans of $10.9 million, permitted continued access to the Revolver Facility but limited availability to $36.4 million, and extended the deadline for delivery of the 2022 10-K and the 2023 Forms 10-Q.

Note 8: Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the applicable accounting guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance provides the definition of fair value, describes the method used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and outlines fair value disclosure requirements. The fair value hierarchy established under this guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, Accounts receivable, net, Accounts payable, Accrued liabilities, leased assets and liabilities, and short-term borrowings approximated their fair values at April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The fair values of the Term Loans and Revolver Facility are measured using a market approach whose fair value inputs are considered Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amounts of the Term Loans and Revolver Facility were as follows:

As of
(In millions of U.S. Dollars)April 1,
2023
December 31, 2022
Term Loans$574.7 $377.0 
Revolver Facility172.3 332.3 
Total$747.0 $709.3

Note 13: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include certain key brands of the Company’s beauty business including House of Fuller, Nutrimetics, and Nuvo. Avroy Shlain was sold in the first quarter of 2021. As of the first quarter of 2022, the Company was completing final customary closing arrangements with the buyer for House of Fuller. The sale closed in the second quarter of 2022. For more information, see Note 22: Subsequent Event. The Company is evaluating the non-binding offers received for Nutrimetics with the intent of entering into a definitive agreement in the second quarter of 2022. The Company continues to actively explore strategic alternatives for Nuvo.

The Company has determined that these dispositions represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its results of operations. As such, reflected below are the results of the beauty businesses as discontinued operations including all comparative prior period information in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain costs previously allocated to the beauty businesses for segment reporting purposes do not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. In 2021, the Company recognized a loss on the classification of held for sale assets of House Fuller, Nutrimetics, and Nuvo of $133.5 million based on total expected proceeds less costs to sell. The loss primarily relates to currency translation losses of $140.4 million which remain in accumulated other comprehensive income. In connection with the loss, the Company recorded a contra-asset and liability on the balance sheet which will be derecognized and the related currency translation removed from accumulated other comprehensive income upon completion of the sales.

The Company'sCompany’s theoretical credit risk for each foreign exchange contract is its replacement cost, but management believes that the risk of incurring credit losses is remote and such losses, if any, would not be material. The Company is also exposed to market risk on its derivative instruments due to potential changes in foreign exchange rates; however, such market risk would be fully offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items being hedged. For all outstanding derivative instruments, the net accrued gain or loss was recorded either in non-trade accountsAccounts receivable, net or accruedAccrued liabilities, depending upon the net position of the individual contracts. The gain or loss amounts change based upon the Company'sCompany’s outstanding exposure to fair value fluctuations. The Company has an accounting policy to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis.

Each of such tranches is available to the Company and the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers, with extensions of credit to the Subsidiary Borrowers not to exceed $325.0 million in the aggregate at any time outstanding. The Company is permitted to increase, subject to certain conditions, the Revolver Facility, the USD Term Loan and/or the Euro Term Loan so long as (i) the Revolver Facility is increased by no more than $250.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Revolver Facility of $730.0 million) and (ii) all facilities are increased by no more than $250.0 million, plus certain repayments of the loans under the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and the other parties, plus an unlimited amount provided that the incurrence of such amount does not cause the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and which shall be calculated net of up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (“Cash Netting”)) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to exceed 3.00 to 1.00. Each of the Revolver Facility, the USD Term Loan, and the Euro Term Loan will mature on November 23, 2026. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are (a) guaranteed by (i) with respect to the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Parent Borrower and (ii) with respect to both the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers, each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (each a “Guarantor’) and (b) secured by substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of the Parent Borrower and each Guarantor and all products, profits and proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement also includes eventsimpact of default relatingexchange rate fluctuations is included on the net amortization line of the table above. The Company included $1.4 million and $0.3 million related to customary matters (and customary noticethe components of net periodic (benefit) cost, excluding service cost, in Other expense (income), net in the year-to-date periods ended April 1, 2023 and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events.March 26, 2022, respectively.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company shall not permit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (a) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to be greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 (subject to Cash Netting) which may be increased two times during the term of the Credit Agreement by 0.25 to 1.00 in connection with any acquisition permitted by the Credit Agreement having aggregate cash consideration in excess of $75 million or (b) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness minus up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the last day of each measurement period to (b) consolidated EBITDA for such measurement period, and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of (x) consolidated EBITDA on the last day of each measurement period to (y) the Consolidated Interest Charges for such measurement period. As of March 26, 2022 the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.88 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.81. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23. The first quarter 2022 financial results have resulted in an increase in the consolidated net leverage ratio and additional deterioration in net income in the remaining quarters of the year ending December 31, 2022 could result in the Company approaching the consolidated leverage ratio covenant threshold which could require the Company to take actions, which may include implementing cost saving measures, to maintain compliance with the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio.

The Company routinely increases its Revolver Facility borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances.

At March 26, 2022, the Company had $48.8 million of unused lines of credit, including $44.8 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $4.0 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

Note 14: Promotional Costs and Sales Force Commissions

The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent sales force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for other activities, ancillary to the Company’s business, but considered separate and distinct services from sales, which are measured by defined group/team sales levels, addition of new sales force members or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of product awards, special prizes, or trips. The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored, and changes to the original estimates are made when known.

Programs are generally designed to recognize sales force members for achieving a primary objective. An example is holding a certain number of product demonstrations. In this situation, the Company offers a prize to sales force members who achieve the targeted number of product demonstrations over a specified period. The period runs from weeks to several months. The prizes are generally graded, in that meeting one level may result in receiving a piece of jewelry, with higher achievement resulting in more valuable prizes such as a television or a trip. Similar programs are designed to reward current sales force members who reach certain goals by promoting them to a higher level in the organization where their earning opportunity would be expanded, and they would take on additional responsibilities for adding new sales force members and providing training and motivation to new and existing sales force members. Other business drivers, such as scheduling product demonstrations, increasing the number of sales force members,

Table of contents
holding product demonstrations, or increasing end consumer attendance at product demonstrations, may also be the focus of a program.

The Company also offers commissions for achieving targeted sales levels. These types of awards are generally based upon the sales achievement of at least a mid-level member of the sales force, and her or his down-line members. The down-line consists of those sales force members who have been directly added to the sales force by a given sales force member, as well as those added by her or his down-line member. In this manner, sales force members can build an extensive organization over time if they are committed to adding and developing their units. In addition to the commission, the positive performance of a unit may also entitle its leader to the use of a Company-provided vehicle and in some cases, the permanent awarding of a vehicle. Similar to the prize programs noted earlier, these programs generally offer varying levels of vehicles that are dependent upon performance.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored and changes to the original estimates are made when known.

Note 15: Re-engineering and Impairment Charges

Re-engineering charges are mainly related to the Turnaround Plan described in Note 2.

Re-engineering charges are primarily related to severance costs, outside consulting services, impairment of fixed assets associated with the closure of facilities, and facility costs. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company announced that it was closing its manufacturing facilities in Greece. Total charges incurred from inception of the Turnaround Plan in 2020 through April 1, 2023 are approximately $106.8 million, including $81.1 million related to severance charges, $21.8 million related to other charges, primarily consulting costs and $3.9 million related to impairment of fixed assets.

The Company expects to incur approximately $3.1 million of re-engineering charges in fiscal year 2023 under the Turnaround Plan subsequent to the first quarter of 2023, consisting primarily of $2.0 million related to severance and $1.1 million related to other charges, primarily consulting costs. The Company anticipates cash expenditures related to these charges for the remainder of 2023 to be approximately $12.9 million. No further costs will be incurred pursuant to the Turnaround Plan.

The change in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022, was primarily due to:

Loss jurisdictions in a full valuation allowance (including the United States) where the jurisdictions are required under ASC 740 to be removed from the worldwide annual effective tax rate calculation. These losses are not being benefited in the effective tax rate due to the full valuation allowance, and
an unfavorable jurisdictional mix of earnings.

There was no change in the first quarter of 2023 to the uncertain tax position reserves. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is currently under examination or contesting proposed adjustments by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years ranging from 2004 through 2022.

In evaluating uncertain tax positions, the Company makes determinations regarding the application of complex tax rules, regulations and practices. Uncertain tax positions are evaluated based on many factors including but not limited to changes in tax laws, new developments, and the impact of tax audit settlements on future periods.

Note 20: Fair Value Measurements17: Commitments and Contingencies

A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries are pending. In addition to such proceedings, there are certain proceedings that involve the discharge of materials into, or otherwise relating to the protection of, the environment. Certain of such proceedings involve federal environmental laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as well as state and local laws. The Company applieshas established reserves with respect to certain of such proceedings. Because of the applicable accounting guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance providesinvolvement of other parties and the definitionuncertainty of fair value, describespotential environmental impacts, the method used to appropriately measure fair valueeventual outcomes of such actions and the cost and timing of expenditures cannot be determined with certainty. It is not expected that the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and outlines fair value disclosure requirements.the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

The fair value hierarchy established under this guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levelsAs part of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:1986 reorganization involving the formation of Premark, Premark was spun-off by Dart & Kraft, Inc., and Kraft Foods, Inc. assumed any liabilities arising out of any legal proceedings in connection with certain divested or discontinued former businesses of Dart Industries Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, including matters alleging product and environmental liability. The assumption of liabilities by Kraft Foods, Inc. (now Mondelez International, Inc.) remains effective subsequent to the distribution of the equity of the Company to Premark shareholders in 1996.

In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleged that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The Company successfully prevailed on three consecutive motions to dismiss the complaint from January 25, 2021 through February 4, 2022, when the Court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff filed an appeal on April 11, 2022, and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of the complaint on August 8, 2023. The plaintiff petitioned for rehearingLevel 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets en banc before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on August 29, 2023.

These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted prices, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices formisleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the appeal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. A similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida.

These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. The Company does not have any recurring Level 3 fair value measurements.derivative cases were voluntarily withdrawn.

DueIn June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Diluted (loss) earnings per share - Total is calculated by also considering the impact of dilutive securities, such as stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance share units on both Net (loss) income and the Basic weighted-average shares. In the first quarter of 2023, the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options, restrictive stock units, and performance-vested and market-vested shares was excluded from the computation of weighted -average dilutive shares as a result of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and related fair value measurements.(Loss) income from continuing operations as its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

References to these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating the Company's performance, including when making financial and operating decisions. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends.

As the impacts of foreign currency translation are an important factor in understanding the Company’s period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes the presentation ofpresents results on a local currency basis, as a supplement to reported results, helpsto improve the readers’ ability to understand the Company’s operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if the current period exchange rates had been used to translate the results in the prior period. The use of local currency and percentage changes excluding currency changes represent non-GAAP financial measures. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance.

Recent DevelopmentsThe following trends significantly affect our business and Updatesoperating results. See the risk factors identified under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2022 10-K, as updated by this Report, for more information. Additionally, see “Results of Continuing Operations” and “Financial Condition” below for additional information on efforts we are taking to mitigate adverse trends.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company continued to execute on the utilization of the share repurchase authorization by entering into an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement. The Company entered into an agreement to repurchase $75.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. A more detailed discussion regarding the ASR is available in the section titled Financial Condition in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Company is monitoring developments in Russia and Ukraine as well as financial and economic sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union and others. In March 2022,2023 there was lowera continued decrease in overall sales force activity in the Europe segment stemming from the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The conflict has impacted consumer sentiment in the broader region. The direct adverse effects on our business and the short and long term worldwide implications of the conflict are not known and difficultas compared to predict. As Ukraine is in the conflict zone and there is uncertainty surrounding the status of physical assets, the Company has fully reserved for its accounts receivables, inventories and fully impaired the operating lease of its office building. The reserve and impairment was approximately $0.4 million. The Company's sales to customers in Russia and Ukraine in fiscal year 2021 accounted for approximately 2.1% of consolidated sales from continuing operations.

liquidity. Whileinternal and external factors such as changes in the durationsales force business model, changes in the sales force compensation plans, unsuccessful recruitment and severityretention efforts, as well as market factors such as lower consumer sentiment, and higher global inflation. The Company is responding by developing new business models around the increasing flexible work environment that is characteristic of this pandemicthe gig economy. In the first quarter of 2023, there was a decrease in the sales force activity in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America segments as compared to the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2022. However, the South America segment had a slight increase in the sales force activity in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022.

The continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar (“USD”) presents challenges for global markets and companies that do business globally. The USD has strengthened against the Euro, Swiss Franc, Mexican Peso and other currencies. This continues to be uncertain,a headwind for the Company currently expectsas its foreign denominated revenues are translated into USD at lower exchange rates negatively impacting results. The Company estimates that the negative impact on revenues for the first quarter of 2023 was approximately 5% compared to the same period in the prior year.

The global economy has been negatively impacted by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While the Company does not expect the conflict to have a material impact on its results of operations, further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the conflict, including increased trade barriers and restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. Additionally, if the second quarter of 2022 may alsomilitary conflict escalates beyond its current scope, the Company could be negatively impacted by COVID-19. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, its severity, actions taken to contain the viruseconomic recessions in certain neighboring European countries or treat its impact, availability and distribution of vaccines, new variants of the virus, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.globally.

The Company's net working capital position increased by $35.8Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. As previously disclosed, the Company had no ability to borrow further under its revolving credit facility (the “Revolver Facility”) until August 2, 2023, when it entered into the Debt Restructuring Agreement (the “DRA”), which enabled immediate access to up to $21.0 million compared withon the end of 2021. Excluding foreign exchange impact, net working capital increased $42.4 million, primarily reflecting:

$61.9 million decrease in accrued liabilities driven by timingRevolver Facility subject to liquidity and decrease in accrued compensationother cash covenants. While the Company believed when entering into the DRA that it would provide additional flexibility to fund its operations and decrease in other taxes payable

The debt portfolio consisted of:Forbearance Agreement, among other things, (a) required, as a condition to effectiveness, the Borrowers to make a principal payment in respect of the USD Term A Loans in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $10.9 million, (b) permits the Borrowers to continue to access the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, during the Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the existence of the Specified Defaults, but limits availability thereunder to approximately $36.4 million, (c) alleviates and/or otherwise modifies certain of the mandatory prepayment requirements in respect of asset sales and tax refunds set forth in the Credit Agreement during the Forbearance Period, (d) reduces the Company’s weekly minimum U.S. liquidity requirement under the Credit Agreement from $15.0 million to $10.0 million during the Forbearance Period, (e) modifies certain of the Company’s financial and other reporting obligations under the Credit Agreement, and (f) requires the Company to comply with certain specified milestones with respect to business planning and repayment transactions during the Forbearance Period. Given the uncertainties around the Company’s liquidity, ability to execute its revised business plan, and ability to comply (and current non-compliance) with covenants under its Amended Credit Agreement, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a)See Note 17: LeasesThe Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is actively engaged with management and financial advisors to further explore strategic alternatives and advise on potential means to improve the Company’s liquidity and capital structure. If the Company raises funds in the future by issuing equity securities, such as warrants issued under the DRA or through the future sale of the Company’s common stock, it is highly likely that existing stockholders will be diluted. Any equity securities issued may also provide for further details.rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If the Company raises funds in the future by issuing additional debt securities, these debt securities will likely have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of stockholders. The ability to raise additional debt is subject to the limitations, conditions and preferences of the Amended Credit Agreement and anticipated future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, which will continue to impact the cost of debt financing. In addition, the Company is reviewing its real property portfolio for real estate available for potential dispositions, or sale-leaseback transactions, and is exploring right-sizing efforts, monetization of fixed assets, enhancing cash management, and marketing and channel optimization, to deliver additional liquidity, within this calendar year; however the timing, amount and ability to effect such dispositions is uncertain. As the aforementioned actions are conditional upon the receipt of offers and execution of agreements with new or existing investors or the execution of sales agreements with third parties, which are considered outside of the Company’s control, there is no assurance of the timing or outcome of these actions, and as a result they are not considered probable of occurring until such time as they are completed.

As a result of the volatility of the Company’s earnings and ability to generate cash from operations, coupled with the increased levels and cost of borrowings under its Revolver Facility, the Company forecasts that it will not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations and meet its financial obligations in the near term.

As mentioned above, the Company is also in violation of certain non-financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement as of the date of the filing of these financial statements, which has resulted in certain defaults and/or events of default under the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition thereto, the report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm accompanying the

If the Company is unable to execute its revised business plan it would require management to modify its operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of the Company’s ongoing or planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing, research and development and other activities, which would have a material impact on the Company’s operations, or it may be forced to file for bankruptcy protection.

The Company entered into the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the Third Amendment, to address expected non-compliance with financial covenants under its Credit Agreement, given that the Company was forecasting that it would not meet its financial covenants absent such modifications. In the first and second quarters of 2023, the Company was forecasting non-compliance with the amended financial covenants included in the Third Amendment.

The DRA waived certain events of default and restructured the credit facility ("Revolver Facility") in an aggregate principal amount availablefacilities documented by the Credit Agreement, as it had been amended through the Fourth Amendment. The DRA reallocated cash interest and fees, deferred certain future cash interest payments, allowed immediate access to the CompanyRevolver Facility, modified certain prospective covenants, extended maturity of certain outstanding term loans, and required the Subsidiary Borrowersissuance of warrants representing up to $480.0 million, (ii) a term facility available to4.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company in U.S. dollars in anthe aggregate principal amount(calculated on a fully diluted basis).

a $10.0 million facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which was originally due and payable in 2025 and was previously able to be waived in whole or in part based on the Company’s satisfaction of certain Repayment Incentive Milestones (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) but has, subject to the Forbearance Agreement, become due and payable due to certain payment events of default.

In light of the Facility Fee having become due and payable as described above, waivers of the Facility Fee are no longer permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement. On the date immediately following the date any Repayment Incentive Milestone is not satisfied, the following will occur, (i) the Company will incur a 0.50% increase in interest rates for the 2025 Maturity Date Loans; provided that if the Company thereafter satisfies a Repayment Incentive Milestone, such interest rates will be automatically reduced, on the date immediately following such Repayment Incentive Milestone Date, by the aggregate amount of increases thereto effectuated pursuant to the failure to satisfy any Repayment Incentive Milestone (and that are still in effect) and (ii) certain warrants issued to the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the Company representing in total an aggregate of approximately 2.00% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of the grant date will become exercisable. The matters described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) have occurred as a result of, and with respect to, the Company’s failure to fully satisfy the January 31, 2024 Repayment Incentive Milestone.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that includesinclude a financialmaximum capital expenditure covenant, a minimum liquidity covenant, a minimum earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) covenant, a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant, a maximum net leverage ratio covenant, an anti-cash hoarding covenant and a covenant restricting cash held by subsidiaries of the Company that are not U.S. Loan Parties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, compliance with laws, delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements, the delivery of weekly account balance reports and account lists, the delivery of weekly 13-week cash flow forecasts and variance reports, the continued retention of a chief restructuring officer until the CRO Release Date (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments and other customary covenants.

The Amended Credit Agreement also includes events of default relating to customary matters (and customary notice and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events. However, as previously disclosed on February 13, 2024, the Lenders party to the Forbearance Agreement agreed, during the Forbearance Period, to forbear from exercising any of their respective rights and remedies arising under the Amended Credit Agreement and applicable law as a result of the occurrence and continuance of certain specified existing and anticipated breaches of certain of the foregoing covenants.

Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness minus the outstanding amounts of the USD Term C Loans and the EUR Term D Loans minus up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the last day of each measurement period to (b) consolidated EBITDA for such measurement period, and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of (x) consolidated EBITDA on the last day of each measurement period to (y) the Consolidated Interest Charges (but to the extent included therein, excluding paid-in kind interest amount) for such measurement period. As of March 26, 2022 the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.88 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.81. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11 and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23. The first quarter 2022 financial results have resulted in an increase in the consolidated net leverage ratio and additional deterioration in net income in the remaining quarters of the year ending December 31, 2022 could result in the Company approaching the consolidated leverage ratio covenant threshold which could require the Company to take actions, which may include implementing cost saving measures, to maintain compliance with the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratioperiod.

The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for, subject to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement:
a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (which excludes the 2027 Maturity Date Loans) and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (which excludes the interest accruing on the 2027 Maturity Date Loans, the Restructuring Fee, and the Facility Fee), each of which is tested on a quarterly basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2024.
a $31.0 million maximum capital expenditure covenant tested each fiscal year.
a $15.0 million (or, during the Forbearance Period, $10.0 million) minimum liquidity covenant, which is tested on a weekly basis and calculated solely with respect to the U.S. Loan Parties and inclusive of unfunded Global Tranche Revolving Commitments.
a minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant ranging from $87.0 million and $143.0 million, which varies each fiscal quarter and is tested on a quarterly, trailing twelve-month basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2024.

The Company routinely increaseshas experienced volatility in earnings during the three months ended April 1, 2023, as it executes the Turnaround Plan and responds to the unpredictability in the market related to recessionary concerns and inflation. In addition, in the third and fourth quarters of 2023, interest of $18.2 million and $20.0 million, respectively, was converted to outstanding debt, which is a primary driver for the continued debt increase in 2023. As of March 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its Revolver Facility borrowingsfinancial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, as in effect on such date. Due to the volatility in the Company’s earnings and progressive tightening of the financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, it is probable that the Company will not be able to maintain compliance with the covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, including the existing Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant and the minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio covenant, in each case, for the next twelve months. However, as previously disclosed by the Company, the Lenders party to the Forbearance Agreement agreed, during the Forbearance Period, to forbear from exercising any of their respective rights and remedies arising under the Amended Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. Asapplicable law as a result of the occurrence and continuance of certain specified existing and anticipated breaches of certain covenants, including the financial covenants described in the immediately preceding sentence.

If the Company incurs more interest expense onis unable to comply with its covenants, then the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solelyAmended Credit Agreement lenders could, subject to the quarter end balances.terms of the Forbearance Agreement, take action to cause amounts due under the Amended Credit Agreement to become due and payable unless the Company is able to further amend or negotiate further forbearance with respect to such covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt. If the Company is unable to access future borrowings or is required to pay amounts due under the Amended Credit Agreement prior to their normal maturity dates, this would have a material impact to its financial position. Accordingly, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date of this filing.

The Company is undertaking expense reduction and cash savings initiatives as part of the Turnaround Plan to help continue to pay down its debt and reduce the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. The expense reduction and cash saving initiatives include streamlining facilities, managing working capital, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing overall selling, general and administrative expenses.

At March 26, 2022,April 1, 2023, the Company had $48.8$37.6 million of unused lines of credit, including $44.8$30.9 million under the committed, secured Amended Credit Agreement, and $4.0$6.7 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company may be impacted by interest rate changes on its borrowings. The Company accesses the short-term and long-term markets to obtain financing.financing, as available. Access to, and the availability of acceptable terms and conditions of such financing are impacted by many factors, including: credit ratings, current and forecasted compliance with financial and non-financial covenants, liquidity and volatility of the overall capital markets and the current state of the economy. The Company has elected to manage this risk through the maturity structure of its borrowings and the currencies in which it borrows.

Interest Rate Risk

Loans takenCertain loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest under a fixed basis spread on LIBORformula that includes a base rate, plus an applicable spread. In 2022, the Company converted to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as one of its base rate.rates. As of March 26, 2022,April 1, 2023, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 2.358.58 percent with a base rate spread of 200375 basis points on its United States Dollar and Euro denominated LIBOR/EURIBOR-based borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it would phase-out LIBOR by the end of 2021. In March of 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority announced that five of the USD LIBOR settings would continue to be published through June of 2023. Changes in the method of calculating LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative rate or benchmark, may adversely affect interest rates. The Company cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to LIBOR or the establishment of alternative rates or benchmarks. The Credit Agreement allows for the use of select alternative rates and benchmarks and based on the assessment of such rates and benchmarks, the Company does not expect a material impact from the phase-out of LIBOR.

As of March 26, 2022,April 1, 2023, the Company had total borrowings of $811.2$747.0 million outstanding under its Amended Credit Agreement, with €176.0 million denominated in Euro. If short-term interest rates varied by 10 percent, which in the Company’s case would mean short duration United States Dollar and Euro LIBOR, withAgreement. With all other variables remaining constant, an increase in the Company'sshort-term interest rate of 10 percent, would result in an increase in the annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted.of approximately $3.6 million. The DRA includes new base rate spreads for the Revolver Facility and Term loans. An increase in the interest rates will further increase the Company’s interest expense annually.

ThePrior to the first quarter of 2023, the Company routinely increasesincreased its revolverRevolver Facility borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and usesused cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incursincurred more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances. Between May and August 2023, the Company had no ability to borrow further under its Revolver Facility until August 2, 2023, when it entered into the DRA.

The Company expects the interest expense and related facility fees to increase in 2023 to $96.2 million based on current interest rates and forecasted debt balances. Should actual interest rates or levels of borrowing be different than forecasted, interest expense could be materially different.

Refer to Note 7: Debt for additional information related to the Company’s debt.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

A significant portion of the Company’s sales and profit come from its international operations. Although these operations are geographically dispersed, which partially mitigates the risks associated with operating in particular countries, the Company is subject

Table of contents
to the usual risks associated with international operations. These risks include local political and economic environments and relations between foreign and United States governments.

Another economic risk of the Company is exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. The Company is not able to project, in any meaningful way, the effect of these possible fluctuations on translated amounts or future earnings. This is due to the Company’s constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the United States Dollar and the large number of currencies involved, although the Company’s most significant income and cash flow exposures are to the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renminbi,Argentine Peso, Euro, Indonesian Rupiah, Swiss Franc, Mexican Peso, and Swiss Franc.Japanese Yen.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company’s local product sourcing in many countries, a strengthening United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company useshas historically used financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks associated with a portion of its investment in international operations. In addition to hedging against the balance sheet impact of changes in exchange rates, the previous use of hedge of investments in international operations by the Company also had the effect of hedging cash flow generated by those operations. The Company has also historically hedged, with these instruments, certain other exposures to various currencies arising from amounts payable and receivable, non-permanent intercompany transactions, and a portion of purchases forecasted for generally up to the following 1512 months.

The United States Dollar equivalent of the Company’s most significant net open forward contracts as of March 26, 2022April 1, 2023 were to purchase EurosIndonesian Rupiah worth $29.1$65.0 million United States Dollarsand Mexican Pesos worth $23.3$34.2 million, and to sell Chinese RenminbiSwiss Franc worth $34.2$58.6 million and Korean WonEuros worth $11.6$5.2 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for United States Dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement, with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for United States Dollars. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company’s outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of March 26, 2022,April 1, 2023, the Company had a net derivative assetliability of $0.5$0.8 million related to its currency hedges under forward contracts. Currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flow upon the settlement of its forward contracts.

A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-United States Dollar currencies. The Company continuously monitors its foreign currency exposure and expects to enter into additional contracts to hedge exposure in the future. See further discussion regarding the Company’s hedging activities for foreign currency in Note 14:9: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

The Company ishas historically been subject to credit risks relating to the ability of counterparties of hedging transactions to meet their contractual payment obligations. The risks related to creditworthiness and non-performance have been considered in the determination of fair value for the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts. TheWhen the Company continuesis allowed to hedge again, it will closely monitor its counterparties and will take action, as appropriate and possible, to further manage its counterparty credit risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is also exposed to rising material prices in its manufacturing operations that can vary, and, in particular, the cost of oil and natural gas-based resins,variances that come from the petrochemical chain, including the fact that in some cases resin prices are actually in, or are based on, currencies other than that of the unit buying the resin, which introduces a currency exposure that is incremental to the exposure to changing market prices. Resins are the primary material used in production of most Company products, and the Company estimates that 20222023 cost of sales will include approximately $135.5$62.3 million for the cost of resin in the Tupperware brand products it produces and has contract manufactured. The Company uses many different kinds of resins in its products. About three-fourths of the value of its resin purchases are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil and natural gas). The remaining one-fourth of the value of its resin purchases is more highly engineered. With a comparable product mix and exchange rates, the Company estimates that a 10 percent

fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company’s annual cost of sales by approximately $13.6$6.2 million compared with the prior year. The amount the Company pays for its resins is impacted by the relative changes in supply and demand. The Company partially manages its risk associated with rising resin costs by utilizing a centralized procurement function that is able to take advantage of bulk discounts and / or alternative sourcing locations while maintaining multiple global benchmarking with suppliers, and also entersenter into short-term pricing arrangements. It also manageshas historically managed its margin through cash flow hedges in some cases when it purchases resin in currencies, or effectively in currencies, other than that of the purchasing unit. This is done through the pricing of its products, with price increases over time on its product offerings generally in line with consumer inflation in each market, and its mix of sales through its promotional programs and promotionally priced offers. It also, on occasion, makes advance material purchases to take advantage of current favorable pricing.

Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, it should not be assumed that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will be detected.

As of the end of the period covered by this report,Report, management, under the supervision of the Company'sCompany’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company'sCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures. As of March 26, 2022,April 1, 2023, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective atas of April 1, 2023 due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined, based on the procedures performed, that the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report fairly represented in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance level.regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” (2013). Management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Specifically, it did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of internal controls and accounting knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with its accounting and financial reporting requirements. The Company did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls were not sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement in financial reporting. These material weaknesses contributed to the following material weaknesses:

The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the accounting for the completeness, occurrence, accuracy and presentation of income taxes, including the income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities.
62

Table of contents
The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the accounting for the completeness, accuracy and presentation of right of use assets and lease liabilities.
The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the monitoring of the designation of intercompany loans as being of long term in nature and the related impact to the accounting for foreign currency transaction gains and losses and translation adjustments.
The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the accounting for the valuation of goodwill.
The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to account reconciliations to support the completeness, accuracy and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

As these material weaknesses remain unremediated as of the filing date of this Report on Form 10-Q, management concluded that as of April 1, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Remediation Plan

While the Company has not finalized its remediation plan, the remediation plan, when finalized, is expected to include a number of enhanced activities. The Company is currently evaluating the need for additional resources with the requisite knowledge of accounting and financial reporting while supplementing existing resources with temporary resources to assist with performing technical accounting activities. The Company will re-assess and enhance its risk assessment process across the organization to identify risks and design new controls or enhance existing controls responsive to such risks to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.

As part of the remediation plan for income taxes, management expects to reassess and redesign internal controls related to income tax accounting and statutory financial reporting, including:

enhance governance related to the preparation and timeliness of the statutory filing process,
enhance the Company’s income tax controls to include specific activities to assess the accounting for significant complex transactions, including intercompany transactions, and tax related judgments,
revise and formalize numerous income tax accounting review processes, and
define and clearly communicate roles and responsibilities for income tax accounting to local and regional personnel.

The Company is also developing a plan of remediation to strengthen the controls over accounting for leases. The remediation plan is expected to include the following actions:

review of significant lease activity and making necessary corrections to facilitate reliance on its lease accounting system as a source for accounting adjustments, balances and disclosures,
development and implementation of a process designed to enhance the rigor around identification and review of key lease terms, dates, and modifications,
implement additional monitoring controls to ensure compliance with lease accounting guidance, and
review and enhance, as appropriate, organizational structure including training and supervision of individuals responsible for lease accounting.

The Company’s remediation plan for the designation of intercompany loans is expected to include the following actions:

revise and formalize the assessment and documentation of intercompany loans for short-term versus long-term designation,
reperform calculations of intercompany loan foreign currency charges,
implement additional monitoring controls to ensure proper classification, reporting and compliance with intercompany loans accounting guidance, and
review and enhance, as appropriate, organizational structure including training and supervision of individuals responsible for intercompany loans accounting.

The Company’s remediation plan to strengthen the controls over account reconciliations is expected to include the following actions:

develop and implement a system to contain all account reconciliations and facilitate implementing a new monitoring control to ensure account reconciliations are properly, consistently and timely prepared and reviewed,
design and standardize templates for the major types of account reconciliations, and
review and enhance organizational structure including training and supervision of individuals responsible for the preparation and review of account reconciliations.
63

Table of contents

The Company’s remediation plan to strengthen the controls over the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is expected to include the following actions:

review and enhance organizational structure including technical training and supervision of individuals responsible for the preparation and review of the Statement of Cash Flow, and
enhance rigor around identification and evaluation of non-recurring items in the Statement of Cash Flow.

There is no goodwill remaining in the financial statements and therefore the Company does not expect to design specific controls to remediate this material weakness until such time that the Company would acquire a business with additional goodwill.

The Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in its control environment and risk assessment process. These steps will take time to be fully implemented and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and tested, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changesThe Company has commenced its efforts to design and implement effective controls throughout the organization to respond to the material weaknesses. These activities initially commenced in the Company'sfourth quarter of 2023, continue as of the date of this filing, and include many of the items in our remediation plan described above.

We believe these changes will improve our controls and processes to enable the Company to file required SEC reports on a timely and accurate basis, and are an improvement to our internal control over financial reportingreporting. We expect to finalize the design of our remediation plan during 2024 and commence the first quartermonitoring activities to assess operating effectiveness following the completion of 2022the design of the remediation plan. Accordingly, we believe it is likely that have materially affected or are reasonably likelythese material weaknesses will continue to materially affect itsour internal control over financial reporting,reporting. Therefore, management has and will continue to perform key quarterly and annual procedures while the material weaknesses remain unremediated, including: (1) additional detailed reviews of key areas and analytical procedures, (2) additional reviews of account reconciliations, (3) enhanced procedures over preparation of its accounting for income taxes, (4) detailed review of new and modified leases and reconciling its leases to its lease accounting system, (5) recalculation of foreign currency gains and losses resulting from classifying its intercompany loans as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Actcurrent, and (6) revising its Statement of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").Cash Flows preparation and review.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries are pending. In addition to such proceedings, there are certain proceedings that involve the discharge of materials into, or otherwise relating to the protection of, the environment. Certain of such proceedings involve federal environmental laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as well as state and local laws. The Company has established reserves with respect to certain of such proceedings.

Table of contents
The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with, and supplement, the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of the 2021 FormCompany’s 2022 10-K. Before making an investment in the Company’s securities, investors should carefully consider the risksrisk discussed below, together with the other information in this Report, including the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other reports and materials filed by the Company with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known by the Company or that are currently deemed immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

We are subjectCurrent and future indebtedness could restrict the Company’s operations, particularly its ability to financial risks as a result of our international operations, including exposurerespond to foreign currency fluctuations, the impact of foreign currency restrictions, and the impact of international sanctions.changes in its business or to take specified actions.

The Company is also dependent upon its Revolver Facility to fund its operations and satisfy obligations, and the Company must meet certain financial and non-financial covenants to be in compliance with the Credit Agreement and to have access to its Revolver Facility. On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Forbearance Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders party thereto agreed, during the Forbearance Period, to (a) forbear from exercising any of their respective rights and remedies arising under the Credit Agreement and applicable law as a result of the occurrence and continuance of certain specified existing and anticipated defaults and events of default under the Company’s Credit Agreement and (b) permit the Company to continue to access its Revolver Facility on a limited basis, subject to riskscertain terms and conditions, including liquidity and other cash covenants, notwithstanding the existence of doing business internationally. The Company has derived, for a numbersuch existing and anticipated defaults and events of years, most of its net sales from operations outside the United States. As a result, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of our international operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars.

Movement in exchange rates has had and may continue to have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings, cash flows, and financial position. The Company’s most significant exposures are to the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renminbi, Argentine Peso, Euro, Indonesian Rupiah, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso, and South African Rand. Although the Company’s currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from its local product sourcing in many markets, a strengthening United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company continues to implement foreign currency hedging and risk management strategies to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in earnings associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company generally does not seek to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations on the translated value of the sales, profit, or cash flow generated by its operations. Some of the hedging strategies implemented have a positive or negative impact on cash flows as foreign currencies fluctuate versus the United States Dollar. In past periods the movement of foreign currency exchange rates has had a material effect on our results of operations, including in the last two quarters of 2019 and the first two quarters of 2020.default. There can be no assurance that our hedging strategiesthe lenders party to the Credit Agreement will be successfulagree to any further forbearance after the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, and foreign currency fluctuationsupon such expiration or termination, the lenders will have, among other things, the ability to demand repayment of outstanding borrowings, to restrict future borrowings under the Revolver Facility, and related hedging activities mayto exercise remedies against the collateral securing such borrowings. If such demand for repayment were to occur, the Company does not have a material adverse impact onthe financial resources to repay such obligations.

If the Company is unable to effectively execute its revised business plan, it may violate covenants in the future, and if the Company is unable to obtain further forbearance or other relief after the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, the lenders may accelerate outstanding debt obligations. Were the lenders to take action to accelerate the debt, the Company’s liquidity, results of operations, cash flows, and/orand financial condition.condition would be materially adversely impacted, and the Company may be forced to file for bankruptcy protection.

Furthermore, foreign governments may impose restrictions on currency remittances. Due to the possibility of government restrictions (or existing restrictions) on transfers of cash out of countries and control of exchange rates and currency convertibility, the Company may not be able to immediately access its cash at the exchange rate used to translate its financial statements.

In addition, the United States government may impose material sanctions and restrictions on doing business with certain countries, businesses, and individuals, including, as an example, the sanctions against countries such as Russia or within specific regions of Ukraine. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial performance, including through increased costs of compliance, reduced net sales as a result of restrictions on the Company's ability to sell into specific regions of the World, higher volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, and increased input costs (such as energy).

The conflict in Ukraine could impact business and financial performance in Europe and our results of operations on a consolidated basis. We are closely monitoring the political and economic situation and have taken several measures, including cash repatriation and ruble hedging, to proactively manage the risk. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia could impact the fulfillment of existing orders, any future revenue streams from impacted customers, and the recoverability of certain financial assets. As there is uncertainty surrounding the status of physical assets in the Ukraine area, the Company has fully reserved for its accounts receivables and inventories, and fully impaired the operating lease of its office building, in Ukraine. The reserve and impairment was approximately $0.4 million. We will continue to assess our mitigation activities in light of the evolving situation and the related risks, but there can be no assurances that the conflict will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition.

A decrease in operating cash flows, any inability to access financing sources or other constraints on liquidity could adversely affect our business.

Our business, including our ability to fund operating activities, capital projects and interest and debt repayments as well as to execute on the Turnaround Plan, depends upon our generation of strong operating cash flow and available financing sources. As of March 26, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $245.6 million and $44.8 million of availability under our revolving credit facilities and available lines of credit. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 we generated significant negative operating cash flow and, based on our current business plan, including the Turnaround Plan, we expect to continue to spend substantial amounts in future periods, which may result in further periods of negative operating cash flow. Our business and operations may also consume resources faster than we anticipate. Therefore, in order for us to meet our capital requirements and successfully execute our business plan, we may require additional capital through various sources of financing that may include the issuance of new equity securities, debt or a combination of both. If we issue additional equity securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. If we issue new debt securities, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our

ability to pay any dividends on our common stock. Further, additional financing, whether debt or equity, may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Because our decision to issue securities in anyThe outcome of pending and future offering will depend on market conditionsclaims and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future offerings or thelitigation could have a material adverse impact thereof on the price of our common stock. Further, during periods of economic, political and social turmoil such as the present, the financial industry and the credit and capital markets may be materially and adversely affected, increasing the cost of and reducing access to capital. We could also be required to seek funds through asset sales or collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic alliances that we would not choose to execute solely for operational or strategic reasons. Our ability to obtain additional capital through these or other means will depend on our results of operations and a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including the risks described in Item 1A, Risk Factors in the 2021 Form 10-K. The inability to generate sufficient cash flows to support our business, failure to maintain covenant compliance, or the lack of available financing in adequate amounts and on appropriate terms when needed could adversely affect ourCompany’s business, financial condition, and results of operations and damage the Company’s reputation.

The Company is party to claims and litigation in the normal course of business. Furthermore, the Company may face material litigation outside the ordinary course of business that could materially adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. In June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleged that statements made in public filings between November 3, 2021 and May 3, 2022 regarding the Company’s earnings and sales performance and full year 2022 guidance violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiff sought to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the alleged class period and demands unspecified monetary damages. On August 17, 2022, the Southern District of New York entered an order transferring the case to the Middle District of Florida. On September 16, 2022, the court appointed co-lead plaintiffs. On November 30, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a First Amended Class Action Complaint. The First Amended Class Action Complaint is based on alleged misstatements about the Company’s profitability and pricing leading up to May 4, 2022; the plaintiffs also proposed a new class period of May 5, 2021 through May 4, 2022. On September 28, 2023, the Court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss the First Amended Class Action Complaint. On February 13, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint to add an additional named plaintiff. The plaintiffs did not change any of the other allegations. Defendants answered the second amended complaint on February 27, 2024. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In August 2022, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors relating to the allegations in the securities class action referenced in the preceding paragraph. The derivative complaint asserts claims against the officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on allegations that, among other things, the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. On July 28, 2023, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On September 21, 2023, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On October 23, 2023, the parties filed a joint motion to stay this action pending the conclusion of certain events in the putative stockholder class action described in the preceding paragraph. The stay was granted on October 25, 2023. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In March 2023, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The complaint alleges that statements made in public filings between March 10, 2021 and March 16, 2023 regarding the Company’s income taxes and internal controls violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. On June 5, 2023, the District Court appointed a lead plaintiff, who filed an amended complaint on January 12, 2024. The amended complaint proposes a new class period of February 23, 2022 through March 16, 2023. On March 12, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiff may file a response on or before May 13, 2024, and Defendants may reply on or before June 12, 2024. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In January 2024, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the in United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The derivative complaint asserts claims against the officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution for violations of the securities laws, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on allegations that, among other things, the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation for the securities laws during the period of November 3, 2021 through March 16, 2023. On March 8, 2024, Defendants filed a motion to stay this action pending the conclusion of certain events in the putative stockholder class action filed in June 2022. The Court granted the stay on March 11, 2024. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be materially affected.expensive and disruptive. The Company’s insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against the Company, and the Company is unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which the Company is currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, or its stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact the Company’s reputation among its customers or its stockholders.

The Company’s success is substantially dependent on the strength and continued service of its Board, senior management and other key employees, and its continued ability to attract and retain highly talented new team members with necessary skills to execute against the Company’s key strategies.

The Company’s success depends in part on the efforts and abilities of qualified Board members and personnel at all levels, including its senior management team and other key employees. Their motivation, skills, experience, contacts, and industry knowledge

significantly benefit the Company’s operations and administration. The failure to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified members of the Board and senior management team could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. In 2023 the Company terminated Mr. Fernandez, President and Chief Executive Officer and Board member and Beatriz Díaz de la Fuente, Chief Human Resources Officer. The Company appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurie Ann Goldman, and Chief Restructuring Officer, Brian Fox. Ms. Sheehan, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary resigned from her position effective September 30, 2023 and rejoined the Company effective November 20, 2023 after briefly serving as a consultant to the Company, and Ms. Otero, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer and Richard Goudis, Executive Vice Chair and Director, resigned effective October 13, 2023. Also in 2023, the Company’s Vice President, Internal Audit, and its Vice President, Treasurer, resigned from their positions. On October 16, 2023, Mark Burgess, Meg Crofton, Deborah Ellinger, and James Fordyce elected to resign from the Board. Effective October 17, 2023, the Board appointed three new directors, Lori Bush, Paul Keglevic and William Transier. In addition, on January 10, 2024 the Company restructured the role of Chief Commercial Officer and exited Hector Lezama, Chief Commercial Officer on January 19, 2024. Samantha Lomow was subsequently appointed by the Company to the restructured Chief Commercial Officer role. Any significant leadership change or senior management transition involves inherent risk and any failure to ensure a smooth transition could hinder the Company’s strategic planning, execution, and future performance. The Company’s recent financial and operational difficulties could lead to the loss of additional senior executives. Further changes in the Board or senior management team may create additional uncertainty among investors, employees, and others concerning the Company’s future direction and performance. Furthermore, the Company-initiated headcount reductions, coupled with employee turnover, have resulted in a loss of continuity of knowledge and has created resource constraints. Any disruption in the Company’s operations or uncertainty could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The New York Stock Exchange may delist the Company’s common stock from quotation on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to sell and purchase the Company’s securities and subject the Company to additional trading restrictions.

The Company has been and is currently out of compliance with the NYSE continued listing compliance standards. As a result, the Company is at risk of the NYSE delisting its common stock. If the Company’s common stock is delisted from the NYSE, the Company could face material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for the Company’s securities;
reduced liquidity;
a determination that the Company’s common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the Company’s shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its common stock;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

On June 1, 2023, the Company received written notification from the NYSE that the Company no longer satisfied the continued listing compliance standards set forth under Sections 802.01B and 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because (i) its average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50.0 million and, at the same time, its last reported stockholders’ equity was less than $50.0 million and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. On August 1, 2023, the NYSE notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the minimum stock price standard of Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. On February 1, 2024, the NYSE notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the minimum market capitalization and shareholders’ equity requirement of Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

On April 7, 2023, the Company received written notice from the NYSE indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Manual, as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its 2022 10-K with the SEC. The Company has since filed the 2022 10-K on October 13, 2023. As a result of the Company’s challenging financial condition and extensive efforts to complete the restatement of the historical Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company’s Accounting department has experienced, and continues to experience significant attrition, including recent departures and expected departures in key control positions within the Accounting department and other supporting departments. The employee attrition has resulted in resource and skill set gaps, strained resources, and a loss of continuity of knowledge – all of which have contributed to delays in the filing of Forms 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2023, and are expected to contribute to delays in the filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023.

On September 20, 2023, the Company submitted a late filer extension request for an additional six-month cure period in which to file the quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2023. On October 3, 2023, the NYSE approved the

Company’s late filer extension requests granting the Company until March 31, 2024 to file its Forms 10-Q for the first, second and third quarters of 2023. The Company expects to regain compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Manual with the filing of the Forms 10-Q.

On October 27, 2023, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that its independent auditor declined to stand for re-appointment as the Company’s registered public accounting firm for the integrated audit of the fiscal year ending December 30, 2023. As a result, the Company disclosed that there would likely be further delays in the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023, given the time needed to evaluate and engage a new independent registered public accounting firm to serve as independent auditor for the fiscal year 2023. Failure to timely file the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023 would result in the Company no longer being in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Manual.

On January 5, 2024, the Company received written notification from the NYSE that it was not in compliance with Section 302 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to the Company’s failure to hold an annual meeting for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 by December 31, 2023. The Company is working to regain compliance with Section 302 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

A delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact the Company as it would likely reduce the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock and thus (i) reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which would negatively impact the Company’s ability to access equity markets and obtain financing, and (ii) impair the Company’s ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Stock Repurchases

On June 21, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized stock repurchases of up to $250.0 million of the Company’s common stock. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased 1,016,563 of the Company’s common stock, for a total acquisition cost of $25.0 million.

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), under which the Company paid $75.0 million and received an initial share delivery of 3,438,264 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which were immediately retired. The initial number of shares received was calculated as 75% of the $75.0 million divided by the price of the Company’s common stock on February 25, 2022 of $16.36. On May 27, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement, Wells Fargo elected to accelerate the settlement date of the ASR and the Company received the remaining settlement of 1,438,325 shares, which were immediately retired. The number of shares received was calculated by taking the initial $75.0 million divided by the variable weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock during the duration of the ASR of $15.38, less the number of shares received at the beginning of the ASR.

A condition of both the Third Amendment and the DRA was to significantly restrict and limit the Company’s ability to enter into any stock repurchases going forward.

Stock repurchases under the Company’s incentive plans are made when employees use shares to satisfy the minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the year-to-date period ended April 1, 2023 and March 26, 2022, 339,079 and 42,986 shares were retained to fund withholding taxes, totaling $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
