Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 28, 2022, Tupperware Brands Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) to repurchase an aggregate of $75 million of its common stock. The Company will repurchase shares under the ASR Agreement as part of its existing $250 million share repurchase authorization, which was approved by its Board of Directors in June 2021 (the “Share Repurchase Authorization”). Prior to repurchases under the ASR Agreement, approximately $225 million remained available under the Share Repurchase Authorization.

Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, on February 28, 2022, the Company will pay Wells Fargo $75 million in cash and will receive an initial delivery of approximately 3.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The final number of shares to be repurchased by the Company will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average stock prices of the Company’s common stock during the valuation period of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to certain adjustments described therein. The resulting adjustments may affect the total amount expended by the Company or the aggregate number of shares it repurchases. The ASR Agreement contains provisions customary for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments to the transaction terms, the circumstances under which the ASR Agreement may be accelerated, extended or terminated early by Wells Fargo and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the parties to one another. Final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to be completed before the end of the second calendar quarter of 2022, subject to acceleration.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing its entrance into the ASR Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
