    | | | | | | | Robert V. Vitale President and Chief Executive Officer, Post Holdings, Inc.* | | | | | | Age: 57 | Director Since 2017 | | | | | Independent Director Energizer Committees: Audit Committee (Chair) Finance and Oversight Committee | Mr. Vitale has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Post Holdings, Inc. since 2014.* Post is a consumer-packaged goods holding company operating in the center-of-the-store, refrigerated, foodservice and food ingredient categories. Previously, Mr. Vitale served as Post’s Chief Financial Officer from 2011 to 2014. Mr. Vitale also serves as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of BellRing Brands, Inc., a publicly-traded former subsidiary of Post Holdings that manufactures products in the global convenient nutrition category. | | | | | Other Public Company Boards: •Post Holdings, Inc. •BellRing Brands, Inc. | Prior to joining Post, Mr. Vitale served as President and Chief Executive Officer of AHM Financial Group, LLC, a diversified provider of insurance brokerage and wealth management services from 2006 to 2011, and was previously a partner of Westgate Equity Partners, LLC, a consumer-oriented private equity firm from 1996 to 2006. He managed Corporate Finance at Boatmen’s Bancshares from 1994 to 1996 and started his career at KPMG in 1987. | | | | | | Skills and Experience: | | | | | | •Executive Leadership | •CPG Industry | •Global / International Experience | | | | •Financial Expertise | •M&A / Corporate Strategy | •Public Company Governance | | | | •ESG | •Technology & Information Security | | | | | As an experienced CEO with substantial understanding of Energizer’s business, Mr. Vitale is an exceptional director who is actively engaged and highly valued by the Board of Directors. In particular, Mr. Vitale’s strong leadership, deep M&A and capital markets expertise, accounting and financial background, and significant knowledge of consumer products businesses brings critical expertise to our Board. Director Commitments Although recent developments mean that Mr. Vitale would not currently be considered a public company named executive officer for purposes of evaluating director commitments, we recognize that this is due to a leave of absence. For that reason, we wish to continue to acknowledge that some of our shareholders may have policies or practices that differ from Energizer’s regarding the number of boards on which a director who is also a current public company named executive officer may serve. Energizer's overboarding policy provides that directors may only serve on a total of five public company boards and sitting CEOs may serve on only three public company boards (including their own). As such, Mr. Vitale's director commitments, both when serving as Post's President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as during his current medical leave of absence, are in compliance with Energizer's overboarding policy. Consistent with the discussion in our 2022 Proxy Statement, the specific facts and circumstances of Mr. Vitale’s service on the Post, BellRing Brands, and Energizer boards of directors, demonstrate that Mr. Vitale is well-positioned to serve as a member of Energizer’s Board. In particular: •Mr. Vitale’s service on BellRing’s Board is simply a continuation of the roles in which he served before Post’s spin-off of BellRing in March 2022. Mr. Vitale’s involvement with, and time commitment to, BellRing remains the same as it was in prior years, with no expectation that Mr. Vitale will spend a materially different amount of time dedicated to BellRing than in prior years. •Mr. Vitale has existing knowledge of the BellRing business, stemming from his oversight role of Post’s active nutrition business before Post’s 2019 IPO of BellRing. Mr. Vitale’s involvement with BellRing is the same as it was before the BellRing IPO, but with a formal title due to the separation of the two companies. •Board logistics continue to facilitate Mr. Vitale’s service on all three Boards. Energizer, Post, and BellRing all hold regular board meetings in St. Louis, Missouri. Post’s and BellRing’s headquarters are also in St. Louis, Missouri. These logistics facilitate Mr. Vitale’s attendance, and greatly reduce the travel time that many directors face. For these reasons, we are confident that Mr. Vitale will continue to meet his commitments and be a valuable contributor to our Board of Directors. *As announced by Post Holdings, Inc., Mr. Vitale, President and Chief Executive Officer, is currently on a medical leave. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviewed the circumstances and determined that Mr. Vitale continues to meet the membership criteria required of all directors. Additionally, Mr. Vitale has reaffirmed his agreement to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve on Energizer’s Board of Directors if elected. We are confident that Mr. Vitale will continue to be a valuable contributor to our Board of Directors. | | | |

  28. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The Nominating & Governance Committee, which makes recommendations to the full Board regarding director compensation, strives to set director compensation around the 50th percentile of our peer group. Our peer group for fiscal 2023 and 2024, which can be found under “Executive Compensation-—Executive Compensation Peer Group,” was selected for purposes of evaluating our executive and director compensation based on market data provided by the Human Capital Committee’s independent consultant, Farient Advisors ("Farient"). Our 2023 Plan includes a $1,000,000 annual compensation limit on all forms of compensation for non-employee directors. Our non-employee director compensation program for service on our Board during fiscal 2023 included the elements described below. In addition, we provide transportation and lodging for out-of-town directors attending Board and committee meetings, coverage under our general directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and, consistent with a benefit broadly provided to our colleagues, matching contributions to charitable organizations from the Energizer charitable foundation (up to $5,000 in any year). Directors may also, from time to time during the fiscal year, be provided with samples of our products, with an incremental cost of less than $50.

  34. COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

    | | What We Believe | What We Do | | SIMPLE | Compensation methods should be transparent, provide a clear link between performance metrics and Company strategy and minimize perquisites | •Use straightforward annual and long-term incentive plan metrics that are directly tied to business performance •Froze US pension accruals •Limit the use of all perquisites for executive officers in fiscal 2023 | | ALIGNED | The interests of our executive officers should be aligned with those of our shareholders | •Set a majority of executive officers’ total compensation as performance-based pay •Include relative TSR as an LTI metric, aligning executive compensation with investor experience and a market-based measure •Have a clawback policy, a securities trading policy that includes prohibitions on hedging and pledging, and stock ownership requirements | | BALANCED | Components of compensation should complement each other and offset risk of overemphasis on any one metric or time period | •Use a combination of pay elements that reward achievement of objectives across annual and long-term time periods •Balance annual and long-term incentive plans to drive results in the short term without sacrificing long-term value creation |

  35. FISCAL 2023 PAY COMPONENTS

    | Description | Driving Shareholder Value | How it Pays | | BASE SALARY | | | | Determined based on job scope, experience, market comparable positions and operating results | Provides fixed income to attract and retain top talent | Semi-monthly cash payment | | ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM | | | | Provides short-term variable pay for performance | Motivates executives to achieve the Company’s annual strategic and financial goals | Single cash payment following determination of performance | | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM | | | | We use two programs to ensure a strong link between incentive compensation opportunities and longer-term objectives: | | | | Performance-based restricted stock unit awards that vest only on achievement of pre-determined performance targets with a three-year vesting period Represents 70% of equity award | Rewards achievement of long-term growth goals and creation of shareholder value | Vesting upon the achievement of specific metrics over three-year performance period | | Time-based restricted stock unit awards that track stock price performance over a three-year vesting period Represents 30% of equity award | Promotes long-term retention and supports stock ownership and alignment with shareholders | Vesting upon the three-year anniversary of grant date | | RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS | | | | Retirement and other benefit plans sponsored by the Company on the same terms and conditions applicable to all eligible colleagues | Provides retirement and other benefits to attract and retain top talent | In accordance with the terms of the plans |

  36. ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

    ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT To help determine executive pay, the Human Capital Committee retains an independent compensation consultant, Farient, for advice regarding the general competitive landscape and trends in executive compensation. While the Human Capital Committee meets with the consultant from time to time, the Chair of the Human Capital Committee also communicates directly with the consultant between Human Capital Committee meetings. The independent compensation consultant advises the Human Capital Committee on several matters, including (1) competitive analysis (including in relation to our peer group), (2) incentive plan design, (3) updates on trends in executive and director compensation, (4) peer group composition, (5) developing strategies for how compensation can support executive officer succession planning, and (6) other compensation-related matters as requested by the Human Capital Committee. A representative of Farient attends committee meetings and serves as a resource to the Human Capital Committee on executive and director compensation matters. Additionally, to encourage independent review and discussion of executive compensation, the Human Capital Committee meets with Farient in executive session. The Human Capital Committee annually reviews the independence of its compensation consultant in light of SEC rules and NYSE Listed Company Rules regarding compensation consultant independence and has affirmatively concluded that Farient has no conflicts of interest relating to its engagement by the Human Capital Committee. The Human Capital Committee also annually reviews the performance of its independent compensation consultant.

  37. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PEER GROUP

    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PEER GROUP The Human Capital Committee selects the members of our peer group and periodically examines whether peers continue to meet the criteria for inclusion described below. As part of this process, the Human Capital Committee receives advice from its independent compensation consultant and selects a peer group that includes companies that have the following characteristics: •US-based, publicly traded company in relevant industries including household products and personal products •Similar revenue with limited private label business •Similar number of employees •Global company with a diversified brand portfolio •Limited concentration among customers and distribution primarily through 3rd party retailers For fiscal 2023 compensation planning, the Human Capital Committee, with the assistance of Farient, conducted a full review of the composition of the peer group. When conducting its review, the Human Capital Committee considered the peer group selection characteristics mentioned above. As a result of such review, the Human Capital Committee determined that the composition of the peer group should be modified to more closely align with Energizer’s consumer-branded product focus, business model, and competitive market for business and talent. Accordingly, the Human Capital Committee added ACCO Brands and Prestige Consumer Healthcare to Energizer’s peer group, and removed Revlon, Inc. and Lancaster Colony Corporation.

  45. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM

    ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM The annual incentive program is based on performance against certain metrics determined by the Human Capital Committee. The overall design of our fiscal 2023 annual incentive program is the same as our fiscal 2022 program. Our fiscal 2023 annual incentive award was designed to measure performance against the three equally-weighted metrics set forth in the table below (dollars in millions):

  46. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM

    | | FY2023 | | | | | | | | | Driving Shareholder Value | Weighting | Threshold (50% of Bonus Target) | Target (100% of Bonus Target) | Stretch (200% of Bonus Target) | Actual Achievement (1) | Payout | | Adjusted Net Sales | Net Sales measures revenue and encourages development of consumer-relevant innovation and in-store execution to drive product sales | 33 1/3% | $2,781.5 | $3,007.1 | $3,232.6 | $2,936.0 | 84.3% | | Adjusted Operating Profit | Operating profit measures underlying business profit and encourages selling products, generating strong gross margins and maintaining tight cost controls | 33 1/3% | $389.5 | $458.2 | $527.0 | $451.0 | 94.8% | | Adjusted Gross Margin Rate | Gross margin helps drive profitable revenue growth across our business | 33 1/3% | 36.6% | 38.5% | 40.4% | 39.0% | 120.5% | | Total | | | | | | | 99.87% |

  47. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM

    (1)Adjustments to the actual achievement metrics vary from reported figures to address the impacts of currency and remove other unusual and non-recurring items. See Appendix A for a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures. Our performance target-setting philosophy is consistent with prior years, with targets tied to our annual business plan for the fiscal year and aligned with our long-term strategic plan. The performance goals for each metric are set at the beginning of the fiscal year. Each metric for the annual incentive plan reflects adjustments to financial data derived from our financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and intended to exclude certain items that the Human Capital Committee believes are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. These items include acquisition and integration costs, unusual or non-recurring items, and variations in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and budget exchange rates. The Human Capital Committee believes these performance metrics more accurately reflect Energizer’s underlying financial and operating results. See Appendix A for a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures. Actual bonuses are interpolated for performance between threshold and maximum performance. No bonuses tied to performance are paid for results below the Threshold goal. The maximum bonus payout is capped at 200% for Company performance at, or above, the Stretch goal. Each executive officer was assigned an individual bonus target based on individual performance and market practice information provided by the independent compensation consultant. For fiscal 2023, the following bonus targets, defined as a percentage of the individual’s base pay, were assigned:

  51. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM

    LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM At our 2023 Annual Shareholders' Meeting, shareholders approved the Energizer Holdings, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan"), which replaced the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"). The terms of the 2020 Plan will continue to govern all awards granted under that plan, and no further grants of equity awards have been or will be made under the 2020 Plan. The 2023 Plan authorizes the Human Capital Committee to grant various types of equity awards. Consistent with prior years, the Human Capital Committee grants to key executives restricted stock unit awards, with achievement of Company performance targets over three years as a condition to vesting of the majority of the award, and continued employment with the Company over the same period as a condition to vesting of the remainder of the award. See “Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”. In November 2022, the Human Capital Committee awarded three-year incentive awards with a performance-based component constituting approximately 70% of the restricted stock units vesting at target achievement and a time-based component constituting approximately 30% of the award value at target of the award. The size of equity awards granted to our executive officers in fiscal 2023 was based on several factors, including officers’ individual performance, retention of executives, market run-rate for equity grants among our peer group and benchmark data from our peer group provided by our independent compensation consultant.

  52. Time-Based Restricted Stock Units

    Time-Based Restricted Stock Units The time-based component of the equity awards granted in fiscal 2023 was based on the corresponding grant date value of the restricted stock units. The restricted stock units are stock settled at the end of the three-year period when they convert into unrestricted shares of our common stock if and to the extent that the vesting requirements are met. The number of restricted stock units granted to each executive officer is shown in “Executive Compensation Tables—Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.”

  53. Performance Restricted Stock Units

    Performance Restricted Stock Units The performance-based component of the equity awards granted in fiscal 2023 potentially vest based on performance for the period October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025 based on the achievement of the two performance metrics set forth in the table below.

  54. Performance Restricted Stock Units

    | | FY2023 Grants | | | | Driving Shareholder Value | Weighting | | Cumulative Adjusted Earnings Per Share | A company performance metric that aligns executive officers with shareholders through a shared focus on the earnings that accrue to a shareholder in our stock | 50% | | Relative Total Shareholder Return | A market metric that aligns executive compensation with investor experience and gives shareholders insight into the Company’s shareholder returns relative to companies included in the Russell 2000 Consumer Staples Index as of October 1, 2022 | 50% |

  55. Performance Restricted Stock Units

    Similar to performance metrics under the Annual Incentive Program, the Human Capital Committee adopted performance metrics that use non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude certain items that the Human Capital Committee believes are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The Human Capital Committee believes these performance metrics more accurately reflect Energizer’s underlying financial and operating results. See Appendix A for a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures. The number of units granted to each NEO is shown in the “Executive Compensation Tables—Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.” No vesting of performance based long-term incentive awards occurs for results below the threshold goal, and the maximum vesting percentage is capped at 200% for Company performance at, or above, the maximum performance goal.

  58. LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

    LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE We design our awards with the intention that the results we achieve for our shareholders are consistent with the results obtained under our incentive plans. The performance measures associated with the long-term performance incentive awards that were granted in November 2020 were measured over a three-year period and were tied to cumulative adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") and cumulative adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted net sales. Total performance was weighted 50/50 to each metric. As described in the table below, based on the Company's results, over the three-year performance period ended September 30, 2023, as adjusted consistent with the awards' terms, the long-term performance incentive awards granted in fiscal 2021 paid out at 81% of target in November 2023. The number of units that were paid out to each executive officer is shown in the "Executive Compensation Tables—Stock Vested Table".

  59. LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

    | | FY2021 - FY2023 | | | | | | | | Weighting | Threshold (50% of Bonus Target) | Target (100% of Bonus Target) | Stretch (200% of Bonus Target) | Actual Achievement (1) | Payout | | Cumulative Adjusted Earnings Per Share | 50% | $9.36 | $10.40 | $11.44 | $11.04 | 162% | | Cumulative Adjusted Free Cash Flow | 50% | 11.2% | 12.2% | 13.2% | 6.0% | 0% | | Total | | | | | | 81% |

  60. LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

    (1)Adjustments to the actual achievement metrics vary from reported figures to exclude the impact of certain unusual and extraordinary items, including the Coronavirus (COVAliID-19) pandemic, lost earnings related to the Company's exit from its Russia operations, and higher currency fluctuations. See Appendix A for a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures.

  61. PENSION BENEFITS

    PENSION BENEFITS For colleagues in the United States, pension benefits are provided under the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Retirement Plan, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan that is subject to maximum pay and benefit limits under the tax rules. Pension benefits are also provided under a pension restoration plan, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, a non-qualified plan that provides a supplement to an executive’s pension benefit equal to the amount that the executive would have received but for limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. LaVigne, Mr. Drabik, Mr. Lampman, and Ms. Drath each have pension benefits. Details of pension benefits under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan are set forth in “Executive Compensation Tables—Pension

    Benefits Table”. The plans were frozen as of December 31, 2013, and future retirement service benefits are no longer accrued under this retirement program. The freeze includes both the qualified and non-qualified plans. The Retirement Accumulation Account that was effective from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2013, included the future retirement benefits of the participants in our former parent company’s qualified defined benefit pension plan, including Mr. LaVigne, Mr. Drabik, Mr. Lampman, and Ms. Drath, which were determined in accordance with a retirement accumulation formula. The participants received monthly credits equal to 6% of their eligible benefit earnings for each month, which amounts were credited with monthly interest equal to the 30-year Treasury rate that is reset annually. Certain older, longer-tenured participants, including the NEOs, with age and years of service totaling at least 60 but not more than 74 as of December 31, 2009, received an additional monthly credit equal to 2% of eligible benefit earnings. Participants receive credit for years of service with our former parent company. Participants with age and years of service totaling 75 or more as of December 31, 2009, received an additional monthly credit equal to 4% of their eligible benefit earnings. These transition credits were available to eligible plan participants through 2013 (or, if earlier, their termination of employment with the Company). The defined benefit plan also used the following benefit calculation formulas, all of which were frozen as of the end of calendar year 2009: •Pension Equity Plan benefit formula: Under PEP, an executive is entitled to a benefit (payable in lump sum or as a monthly annuity) based on five-year average annual earnings, which were multiplied by “pension equity credits” earned with years of service. The benefit was subject to a three-year vesting period. PEP was applied to Mr. Drabik, Mr. Lampman, and Ms. Drath. •PensionPlus Match Account: The PPMA generally provided a 325% match under our retirement plan to those participants who made an after-tax contribution of 1% of their annual earnings to our 401(k) plan. To the extent an officer’s PPMA benefit was unavailable due to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), limits, the benefit was restored under our excess savings investment plan and not the pension restoration plan for executives. The benefit was generally subject to a three-year vesting requirement. The PPMA benefit was available through the end of the calendar year 2009 for Mr. Drabik, Mr. Lampman, and Ms. Drath. Mr. Vauth participates in the Wilkinson Pension Plan. Participants in the Wilkinson Pension Plan are eligible to receive old-age pensions, early old-age pensions, disability pensions, and dependents’ pensions (widows’ pensions and widowers’ pensions). Under the terms of the Wilkinson Pension Plan, normal retirement age is 65. As required by local law, for colleagues who receive German social security pensions, the retirement age is 63 or, in certain circumstances, between 60 and 62. In addition, upon experiencing a qualifying disability, participants in the plan are eligible to receive disability benefits after reaching the age of 50 and completing 15 years of service. All pension benefits under the plan are subject to a waiting period of five years of uninterrupted plan participation. As required by local law, a colleague’s accrued pension benefit becomes nonforfeitable after reaching the age of 21 and participating in the plan for at least three years. The Wilkinson Pension Plan applies the following formulas for determining participant pension benefits: •Old-age pension: The sum of (i) for each year of credited pensionable service, 0.6% of final pensionable salary (up to a maximum pensionable salary equal to the social security wage limit less €500 (the “Wage Limit”)) up to a maximum of 15% of final pensionable salary; plus (ii) for each year of credited pensionable service, 1.2% of final pensionable salary in excess of the Wage Limit, up to a maximum of 30%. Final pensionable salary is the participant’s base pay in the month prior to retirement. Pensionable service is the uninterrupted time of service from the participant’s hiring date to reaching normal retirement age. If a participant terminates employment early prior to a benefit case (death, disability or retirement), then the pension amount for “Old Age Pension”, “Disability Pension”, “Early Old Pension” and “Dependents’ Pension” is prorated by the participant's service until employment termination, divided by the service to normal retirement date (age 65). •Disability pension: The participant’s old-age pension benefit that would be available upon reaching normal retirement age, pro-rated by the ratio of the number of years of the participant’s service until the participant’s qualifying disability to the number of years until normal retirement age. •Early old-age pension: Computed according to the same formula as the disability pension.

    •Dependents’ pension (widows’, widowers’): (i) in the event of the participant’s death in service, 60% of the participant’s old-age pension benefit; or (ii) in the event of the participant’s death following retirement, 60% of the value of the pension benefit paid immediately before the participant’s death.

  68. SEVERANCE AND OTHER BENEFITS FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL

    SEVERANCE AND OTHER BENEFITS FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL In order to enhance our retention of key executives and, in the event of a change of control, enable them to focus on the interests of shareholders in a potential transaction, we have adopted our Executive Severance Plan and entered into change of control employment agreements with each of our NEOs other than Mr. Vauth, who has an employment agreement in accordance with German law and standard market practice. The individuals who have change of control employment agreements are carefully selected by the Human Capital Committee, and we believe these executives are critical to the process of evaluating or negotiating a potential change of control transaction or in the operation of our business during the negotiations or integration process, so that their retention would be critical to the success of a transaction. Our Executive Severance Plan and change of control employment agreements include post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, which we believe provide significant value to our shareholders. We do not permit tax gross-up payments relating to severance payments for change of control employment agreements entered into with our executive officers. The Human Capital Committee annually reviews the cost and terms of these agreements with input provided by Farient. See “Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” for a description of these arrangements and the estimated compensation and benefits provided under these arrangements to our NEOs.

  69. DRATH SEPARATION AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT

    DRATH SEPARATION AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT On August 4, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary, Energizer Brands, LLC, entered into a Separation Transition Agreement (“Separation and Transition Agreement”) with Susan K. Drath, the Company’s Chief Human Capital Officer. Pursuant to the Separation and Transition Agreement, Ms. Drath’s employment with the Company will end effective March 31, 2024 (“Separation Date”), and she will support the orderly transition of her responsibilities through the Separation Date (“Transition Period”). Ms. Drath will cease to serve as the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer effective as of December 31, 2023 and thereafter will serve as a Special Advisor to the Company through the Separation Date. Pursuant to the Separation and Transition Agreement, which includes a release of claims, and provided Ms. Drath otherwise complies with the terms of the Separation and Transition Agreement, during the Transition Period, Ms. Drath will continue to receive payment of her base salary and will remain eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans and programs in effect during the Transition Period. Additionally, in consideration for her waiver of her right to receive an annual incentive award for the plan year ending September 30, 2023 and the RSUs and performance-based RSUs previously granted to Ms. Drath that were otherwise scheduled to vest

  70. DRATH SEPARATION AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT

    in 2023, Ms. Drath will receive payments in the aggregate amount of $477,737, subject to her remaining employed through the Separation Date. Following the Separation Date, subject to Ms. Drath remaining employed through such date and her execution of a release of claims, she will be entitled to receive severance payments in an aggregate amount of $1,130,719, payable no later than December 31, 2024. If Ms. Drath’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause prior to the Separation Date, Ms. Drath will remain entitled to receive all payments under the Separation and Transition Agreement. The Separation and Transition Agreement contains customary confidentiality, cooperation and non-disparagement provisions, which are perpetual, and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.

  73. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

    (1)Increases to base salaries approved during fiscal 2022 were effective December 1, 2022. (2)The amounts reported in the column for fiscal 2023 include a performance-based RSU grant awarded on November 7, 2022 to the executive officers. The value of the performance-based award reflects the most probable performance outcome on the grant date, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Half of the award will vest based on target cumulative adjusted earnings per share performance metrics and half will vest based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance metrics. The closing stock price on the grant date, $29.23, was used to determine the fair value for the cumulative adjusted earnings per share portion of the award. The Company records estimated expense for the cumulative adjusted earnings per share portion of the award based on target achievement for the three-year performance period unless a different outcome is likely to occur. The portion of the performance-based RSU grant awarded on November 7, 2022 that is contingent on achievement of relative TSR performance metrics has a 53.7% fair value premium added to the closing stock price on the grant date based on a simulation of outcomes under a Monte Carlo valuation model. Refer to Note 7, Share-Based Payments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023 for further discussion. The following is the maximum award value, if paid, for the full awards granted in fiscal 2023: M. LaVigne—$10,370,015; J. Drabik—$2,805,057; Mr. Lampman—$1,700,017; Mr. Vauth—$1,700,017; and Ms. Drath—$1,062,540. The grant date fair value of the performance-based awards included in the table is as follows:

The actual amounts earned under the annual cash incentive program for fiscal 2023 are disclosed in the “Summary Compensation Table” above as part of the column entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.” (2)Vesting of these performance-based RSUs, awarded under the 2020 Plan, is subject to achievement of pre-established performance criteria for cumulative adjusted earnings per share and relative total shareholder return over the three-year period commencing October 1, 2022, subject to the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company on the vesting date. (3)These time-based RSUs vest three years from the date of grant, subject to the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company on the vesting date. (4)These amounts represent the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding forfeiture assumptions. For the three-year performance awards, the value reflects the most probable performance outcome at the date of the awards’ grant. These amounts may not correspond to the actual value realized by the NEOs upon vesting of the awards. For the three-year time-vesting awards, these amounts include 100% of such awards, with no reduction for potential forfeiture. (5)Mr. Vauth’s bonus values are shown as converted from Euros to U.S. dollars at the fiscal 2023 average conversion rate used to prepare the Company’s financial statements (1 U.S Dollar = 0.9374 Euros).

    (1)The Energizer Retirement Plan is frozen. It includes several benefit formulas applicable at different periods, as explained in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”. One formula was the Retirement Accumulation Account, a cash balance benefit effective from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013 when the entire plan was frozen. This applies to the U.S.-based NEOs. Two prior formulas, the PEP and the PPMA, were frozen as of December 31, 2009. Mr. Drabik’s, Mr. Lampman’s and Ms. Drath’s benefit values also include these two additional formulas. The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was also frozen as of December 31, 2013. The plan provided benefits based on the same formulas as the Energizer Retirement Plan (with the exception of the PensionPlus Match Account) but reflected compensation above the maximum compensation limit. (2)The number of years of credited service shown for each executive reflects years of actual service prior to the pension plan being frozen, which are less than each executive’s actual years of service with the Company.

  111. NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION TABLE

    (1)Executive officer contributions to our executive savings investment plan during fiscal 2023 consist of deferrals of salary earned with respect to fiscal 2023, which are included in the “Summary Compensation Table” of this proxy statement. RSU contributions represent time-based RSUs granted on 11/16/2020 that were deemed retirement vested on 11/16/2022 but were not settled until 11/16/2023 and time-based RSUs granted on 11/15/2021 that were deemed retirement vested on 11/15/2022. The value of the RSUs in this column, which are included in the “Stock Vested Table” in this proxy statement, was determined by multiplying the closing market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date by the number of RSUs. (2)Contributions and accruals to our executive savings investment plan consist of Company contributions that would have otherwise been contributed to the named executive officer’s 401(k) plan account but for limitations imposed by the IRC. These amounts, in their entirety, are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table”. (3)Aggregate earnings/(losses) shown in this column consist of: –amounts credited to each executive under the investment options of the executive savings investment plan, reflecting actual earnings, including appreciation and depreciation, on investment funds offered under our qualified 401(k) plan with returns during fiscal 2023 ranging from 0.74% to 27.71%; –in the case of the prime rate option of our deferred compensation plan, interest at the prime rate, quoted by the Wall Street Journal, ranged from 6.25% to 8.5%; and –(i) the change in the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on 9/30/2023 compared to the later of 10/1/2022 and the date the RSUs were deemed retirement vested, multiplied by the number of RSUs and (ii) the amount of the dividend equivalents credited to the award holder in fiscal 2023, which are paid to the award holder at the time the RSUs settle. (4)Represents time-based RSUs granted on 11/11/2019 that were deemed retirement vested on 11/11/2020 and 11/11/2021 and that settled on 11/11/2022, determined by multiplying the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the settlement date by the number of RSUs. (5)Of the aggregate balances shown in this column with respect to the executive savings investment plan, the following amounts were previously reported as compensation in the “Summary Compensation Table” of this proxy statement: –Mr. LaVigne: $ 490,949

    –Mr. Drabik: $ 80,779 –Mr. Lampman:$ 24,634 –Ms. Drath: $ 59,400 Of the aggregate balances shown in this column with respect to RSUs, the amounts were calculated by multiplying the closing market price per share of the Company's common stock on 9/30/2023 by the number of RSUs, plus dividends accrued during fiscal 2023. The aggregate balance with respect to RSUs includes time-based RSUs granted on 11/16/2020 that were deemed retirement vested on 11/16/2021. (6)Mr. Vauth is not eligible to participate in the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans and arrangements. In addition to the ability for our time-based RSU awards to vest in advance of settlement subject to satisfaction of certain age- and service-based retirement eligibility provisions, we have adopted several plans or arrangements that provide for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified. Deferred Compensation Plan — Under the terms of our deferred compensation plan, an unfunded, non-qualified plan that assumed the liabilities under our former parent’s plan in connection with the Spin-Off, prior to January 1, 2013, executives could elect to have up to 100% of their annual cash incentive award deferred until their retirement or other termination of employment, or for a shorter, three-year period (at the executive’s advance election). All funds are invested in the Prime Rate fund, which credits account balances on a daily basis, at the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of the given quarter. For fiscal 2022, the rate credited under this fund ranged from 3.25% to 5.5%. Balances in the plan are vested and may be paid out in a lump sum in cash six months following the executive’s termination, or in five- or 10-year increments commencing the year following the year of the executive’s termination of employment, as previously elected by the executive. Executive Savings Investment Plan — Under the terms of our executive savings investment plan, our excess 401(k) plan, amounts that would be contributed, either by an executive or by us on the executive’s behalf, to the 401(k) plan but for limitations imposed by the IRC, are credited to the non-qualified executive savings investment plan. Under that plan, executives may elect to defer their contributions into any of the measurement fund options that track the performance of the Vanguard investment funds offered under our 401(k) plan. Deferrals and vested Company contributions may be transferred to different investment options at the executive’s discretion. Deferrals in the executive savings investment plan, adjusted for the net investment return, are paid out in a lump sum payment, or in five or 10 annual installments, following retirement or other termination of the executive’s employment, as previously elected by the executive.

  115. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

    POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL We have adopted our Executive Severance Plan to provide for severance and outplacement benefits to our senior executives, including our NEOs (other than Mr. Vauth and Ms. Drath), in connection with a qualifying termination under the plan. We have also entered into change of control employment agreements with each of our NEOs (other than Mr. Vauth with whom we have entered into an employment agreement in accordance with German law and Ms. Drath who’s change of control employment agreement terminated in connection with the execution of the Drath Transition and Separation Agreement). The change of control employment agreements provide for severance and accelerated vesting of equity awards upon a qualifying termination. Additionally, our equity plans provide for accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of certain terminations of employment. These arrangements are described further below. The table below reports the amount of compensation payable to each of our NEOs in the event of termination of such NEO’s employment, including following a change of control of the Company. The amounts shown in the table assume a termination of employment for each NEO, and a change of control, as applicable, in each case, effective as of September 30, 2023. All amounts shown are estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to the NEOs. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of the relevant triggering event. Amounts shown in the table represent the incremental amounts due to each NEO beyond what the NEO would have been entitled to receive absent a termination of employment. The information does not reflect benefits that are provided under our plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in favor of executive officers and are available generally to all salaried colleagues, including amounts accrued under our 401(k) plan, certain continued participation in our health, welfare and disability benefits and payout of accrued vacation pay. For amounts accrued under our retirement plans (including our pension restoration plan and executive savings investment plan), see “Executive Compensation Tables—Pension Benefits Table”, and for amounts that would

Upon termination of employment for any reason, vested account balances in our deferred compensation plan are paid out in cash to the participant in either a lump sum, or over a five- or 10- year period, commencing six months from the date of termination as previously elected by the participant. Upon a change of control, benefits under our executive savings investment plan vest to the extent not already vested.

    benefits which he receives or would receive from a health fund for a maximum of 13 weeks. Otherwise, the terms of the Sick Pay Act apply. (10)Reflects the benefits Ms. Drath is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of her Separation and Transition Agreement upon a termination by the Company without cause. Ms. Drath is not entitled to receive any payments under the Company's Executive Severance Plan or Change of Control Employment Agreements. Executive Severance Plan Our Executive Severance Plan provides for certain severance benefits in the event of a qualifying termination, meaning an involuntary termination of a participant without cause or a resignation of a participant as a result of good reason (as each term is defined in the plan). These benefits include: •a lump sum payment at the time of termination of one or two times the participant’s annual base salary at the time of the qualifying termination; •outplacement services for up to 12 months; and •for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, a pro-rata bonus payment based on the number of days during the bonus year the participant was employed and the amount of annual bonus that the participant would have received if the participant had remained employed, based on actual Company performance, payable on the date annual bonuses for the annual bonus year to which such pro rata bonus relates are paid to other executive employees of the Company. Other NEOs are not entitled to a pro rata bonus under the plan. The payment of benefits under the plan is conditioned upon the participant executing a general release of claims in favor of the Company, as well as compliance with confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and non-competition obligations as set forth in the release of claims. In addition, no benefits will be paid to the extent duplicative of benefits under a change of control or similar agreement with the Company. Change of Control Employment Agreements The change of control employment agreements with each of our NEOs (other than Mr. Vauth and Ms. Drath) provide for certain benefits in connection with a change of control. In the event of a qualifying termination, meaning a termination by the company without cause or by the executive for good reason within a specified time period following a change of control of the Company (thirty-six months for Mr. LaVigne and twenty-four months for the other NEOs with a change of control employment agreement) or upon death or disability at any time following a change of control of the Company (as each term is defined in the applicable agreement). Severance benefits under the agreements include: •a lump sum payment six months following termination equal to a multiple of the NEO’s annual base salary and severance bonus (defined as the average of the most recent five-year actual bonus percentages multiplied by the greater of the executive’s base salary in effect either immediately prior to the date of termination or the date of the change of control), which is three times in the case of Mr. LaVigne and two times in the case of Mr. Drabik and Mr. Lampman; •a lump sum pro-rata bonus payment six months following termination based on target bonus for the year of termination; •a lump sum payment six months following termination intended to assist with health and welfare benefits for a period of time post-termination (thirty-six months for Mr. LaVigne and twenty-four months for the other NEOs with a change of control employment agreement); •outstanding equity awards held by the NEO will accelerate and vest in accordance with their terms (which, currently provide for acceleration in full and, for performance awards, at the greater of target or actual performance as of the date the change of control occurs); and •benefits under our executive savings investment plan vest to the extent not already vested. Additionally, if approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the Human Capital Committee, perquisites and fringe benefits enjoyed by the NEO immediately prior to termination may continue for the period approved. Further, the NEOs are entitled to payment by the Company of all legal fees and expenses as and when incurred by the NEO in connection with the change of control employment agreements, including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any termination of employment or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by the change of control employment agreement.

    In the event that it is determined that a “golden parachute” excise tax is due under the Internal Revenue Code, we will reduce the aggregate amount of the payments payable to an amount such that no such excise tax will be paid if the resulting amount would be greater than the after-tax amount if the payments were not so reduced. Following termination of employment, each NEO is bound by a one-year covenant not to compete, a one-year non-solicitation covenant and a covenant of confidentiality. The change of control employment agreements automatically renew, in the case of Mr. LaVigne, for three-year terms, and in the case of the agreements with Messrs. Drabik and Lampman, for two-year terms. Equity Plans Under our equity plans and award agreements, upon an executive officer’s death, restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units are accelerated in full; upon a disability (as defined in the plans), restricted stock units are accelerated in full and performance restricted stock units are accelerated on a prorated basis; and, with respect to awards granted at least 12 months prior to retirement, upon retirement (after attainment of age 55 with 10 years of service, or 20 years of service for Mr. Vauth, including service with our former parent companies), restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units are accelerated on a prorated basis. Mr. Lampman has satisfied the age and service requirements for retirement vesting under our equity plans and award agreements. Vauth Employment Agreement Mr. Vauth’s employment agreement, as amended, provides that Mr. Vauth will be eligible to receive an annual base salary and a target annual bonus opportunity equal to 50% of Mr. Vauth’s base salary, participate in the pension scheme maintained for employees of the Company’s German subsidiaries and use a company-provided car. Mr. Vauth is subject to confidentiality and intellectual property and inventions assignment covenants, and Mr. Vauth may not, in Germany or a German-speaking area, during the 12-month period following his termination of employment, compete with or solicit the employees, customers or business of the Company’s German subsidiaries. If Mr. Vauth breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in his employment agreement, he must pay a monetary penalty to the Company. Mr. Vauth’s employment agreement may be terminated by either party for any reason upon 18 months’ advance notice, during which notice period Mr. Vauth will continue to be an employee of the Company and will continue to receive his compensation then in effect. Mr. Vauth’s employment agreement further provides that in the event of Mr. Vauth’s death, the Company will continue to pay to Mr. Vauth’s estate his base salary for the remainder of the month of death and the three months thereafter. In the event of Mr. Vauth’s temporary incapacity due to illness or any other reason outside Mr. Vauth’s control that would prevent him from providing his services to the Company, the Company will pay to Mr. Vauth the difference between his net income and the benefits that Mr. Vauth would receive from his health insurance up to a maximum period of 13 weeks. Mr. Vauth’s employment agreement does not provide for any severance or change of control benefits other than as described above. Consistent with local market practice, commitments have been made to provide Mr. Vauth severance in an amount equal to one month’s salary for each year of Mr. Vauth’s service with the Company if Mr. Vauth’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, including following a change of control. Drath Separation and Transition Agreement Pursuant to the terms of a Separation and Transition Agreement, Ms. Drath will cease to serve as the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer effective as of December 31, 2023 and thereafter will serve as a Special Advisor to the Company through March 31, 2024, on which date her employment with the company will terminate. The terms of the Separation and Transition Agreement, including amounts payable to Ms. Drath pursuant to the agreement, are summarized under “Compensation Discussion & Analysis—Severance and Other Benefits Following a Change of Control—Drath Separation and Transition Agreement” above.

  129. CEO PAY RATIO

    CEO PAY RATIO We believe that compensation must be competitive in the marketplace for the role, internally consistent, and equitable in order to motivate our colleagues to deliver consistent and sustainable operating results for our shareholders. The Company’s total colleague population other than the CEO as of the end of our fiscal year, September 30, 2023, whether employed on a full-time or part-time basis, was considered in determining our median employee. No employees were excluded under the de minimis or any other exemption. We examined the (i) projected base or wage compensation for permanent colleagues in the fiscal year, and (ii) actual base or wage compensation for temporary colleagues for the fiscal year. Compensation for permanent colleagues was annualized (e.g., for colleagues who were hired during the year but did not work for the Company the entire year). We estimate that the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer in fiscal 2023 was approximately 198 times the median of the annual total compensation of all of our other colleagues. The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies, including our compensation peer group, may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above.
