Risk Change Over Time
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1We are subject to uncertainties regarding the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") tariff refunds, including the timing of these refunds.
There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and various other countries with respect to trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. Recently, the U.S. government imposed significant tariffs impacting a wide variety of goods across multiple countries and additional tariffs may be imposed in the future. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs previously imposed under the IEEPA. Following this ruling, the U.S. government initiated new tariffs at different rates under alternative legislative powers, which increases the uncertainty around tariffs. On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to the IEEPA duties and on April 20, 2026, the CBP opened a portal for the refund process to begin for certain importers. The Company has begun the refund submission process and has received approximately $11.0 of refunds. However, the timeline for the remainder of the refund is still unclear and subject to changes in trade policy. The current administration may continue to impose additional tariffs under U.S. trade laws. The extent and duration of the tariffs, as well as any measures taken by other countries in response, and the resulting impact on general economic conditions on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. There have been no other material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Certain provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws, and of Missouri law, may deter or delay an acquisition of Energizer.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain, and the General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri, which we refer to as "Missouri law," contains, provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably expensive to the bidder and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with our Board of Directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover by making the replacement of incumbent directors more time-consuming and difficult. These provisions include, among others: - limitations on the ability of our shareholders to call a special meeting;- rules regarding how we may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholder meetings;- the right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval;- a provision that our shareholders may only remove directors "for cause" and with the approval of the holders of two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock at a special meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose; and - the ability of our directors, and not shareholders, to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors. In addition, because we have not chosen to opt out of coverage of Section 351.459 of Missouri law, which we refer to as the "business combination statute," these provisions could also deter or delay a change of control. The business combination statute restricts certain business combination transactions between us and an "interested shareholder," generally any person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns or controls 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our voting stock, for a period of five years after the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested shareholder, unless either such transaction or the interested shareholder's acquisition of stock is approved by our Board on or before the date the interested shareholder obtains such status. The business combination statute also provides that, after the expiration of such five-year period, business combinations are prohibited unless (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock, other than the stock owned by the interested shareholder, or any affiliate or associate of such interested shareholder, approve the business combination or (ii) the business combination satisfies certain detailed fairness and procedural requirements. We believe that these provisions will help to protect our shareholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our Board of Directors and by providing our Board of Directors with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make us immune from takeovers. However, these provisions will apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could deter or delay an acquisition that our Board of Directors determines is not in our best interests or the best interests of our shareholders. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.
