ITEM 1. BUSINESS
                   
Overview

Unless otherwise indicated by the context, all references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Prestige” refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and our subsidiaries. Prior to August 17, 2018, the Company's name was Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.  Reference to a year (e.g., “2026”) refers to our fiscal year ended March 31 of that year.

We formed as a Delaware corporation in 1996 and are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name, over-the-counter (“OTC”) health and personal care products to mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to our competitive advantage.  Our ultimate success is dependent on several factors, including our ability to:

•Develop and execute effective sales, advertising and marketing programs to maintain or grow our market share versus competitors over time;

•Establish and maintain our internal and third-party manufacturing and distribution relationships to fulfill customer demands;

•Develop innovative new products;

•Continue to grow our presence in the United States and international markets through acquisitions and organic growth; and

•Allocate capital effectively.

We have grown our product portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of consumer health and personal care brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We pursue this growth following an acquisition through spending on advertising and marketing support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative development of brand extensions.

We conduct our operations in two reportable segments: North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare.
Our business, business model, competitive strengths and growth strategy face various risks that are described in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1)We have prepared the information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K with regard to the market position for our brands based in part on data generated by Information Resources, Inc. (“IRI”), for the 52-week period ended March 22, 2026. International information was derived from several sources. Fess and Hydralyte data are for the Australian market.
(2)“Market segment” is defined by us and is either a standard IRI category or a segment within a standard IRI category and is based on our product offerings and the categories in which we compete. 
(3)Some brands in the North American OTC Healthcare segment are also sold in the International OTC Healthcare segment.

Our products are sold through multiple channels, including mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels, which reduces our exposure to any single distribution channel.

Market Position
During 2026, approximately 63.7% of our total revenues were from major brands with a number one market position, compared with approximately 61.5% and 58.6% of total revenues during 2025 and 2024, respectively.  In 2026, these brands included BC and Goody's, Chloraseptic, Compound W, Debrox, Dramamine, Fess, Fleet, Gaviscon, Hydralyte, Monistat, Nix and Summer's Eve.

Competitive Strengths and Growth Strategy

We believe that our product portfolio is positioned for long-term growth based on the following factors:

Diversified Portfolio of Well-Recognized and Established Consumer Brands
We own and market a diverse portfolio of well-recognized consumer brands, some of which were established over 100 years ago.  Our diverse portfolio of products provides us with multiple sources of growth and minimizes our reliance on any one product or category. We provide significant marketing support to our portfolio, which is designed to enhance our sales growth and our long-term profitability across our major brands and other significant brands.  

Strong Competitor in Attractive Categories
We compete in product categories that address recurring consumer needs.  We believe we are well positioned in these categories due to the long history and consumer awareness of our brands, our strong market positions and our low-cost operating model. The markets in which we sell our products, however, are highly competitive and include numerous national and global manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers.

Proven Ability to Develop and Introduce New Products
We focus our marketing and product development efforts on the identification of under-served consumer needs, the design of products that directly address those needs and the ability to extend our highly recognizable brand names to other products. One of our strategies is to broaden the categories in which we participate and increase our market share within those categories through ongoing product innovation. As an example of this philosophy, in 2026, we launched a number of new products, including Fleet Mini Enema, Compound W Skin Tag treatment, and multiple Hydralyte Effervescent and Sachet flavor extensions. In 2025, we launched Summer’s Eve Whole Body Deodorant Creams in three fragrances, Goody’s Plus – Headache Pain + Mental Alertness and Dramamine Advanced Herbals For Kids. While there is always a risk that sales of our existing products may be reduced by our new product introductions, our goal is to grow the overall sales of our brands.

Investments in Advertising and Marketing
We invest in advertising and marketing to drive the growth of our brands.  Our marketing strategy is focused primarily on consumer-oriented initiatives that target consumers via mass media, digital marketing, in-store programming and coupons. While the absolute level of marketing expenditures differs by brand and category, we have often increased the amount of investment in our brands after acquiring them. 

Increasing Distribution Across Multiple Channels
Our broad distribution base attempts to ensure that our products are well positioned across all available channels and that we are able to participate in changing consumer retail trends.  In an effort to ensure continued sales growth, we continue to focus on expanding our strategy of direct sales while reducing our reliance on brokers for our customers.  

Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions
Acquisitions are a part of our overall strategy for growing revenue. We have a history of growth through acquisitions. In recent years, we have completed several acquisitions and strategic asset purchases, and we recently entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a portfolio of over-the-counter brands from Foundation Consumer Brands, LLC and its subsidiaries, including the Breathe Right® and Dimetapp® brands, among others. We anticipate this transaction will close in the first half of fiscal 2027. In 2026, we completed the acquisition of Pillar5 Pharma Inc. ("Pillar5"), a leading sterile ophthalmic manufacturer and one of our current Clear Eyes suppliers, and in 2025 we acquired additional rights to Hydralyte intellectual property in all remaining jurisdictions with the exception of the United States. While we believe that there will continue to be a pipeline of acquisition candidates for us to investigate, the strategic fit, availability of capital and relative cost are of the utmost importance in our decision to pursue such opportunities. We believe our business model allows us to integrate acquisitions in an efficient manner, while also providing opportunities to realize significant cost savings.

Growing Our International Business
International sales beyond the borders of North America represented 16.1%, 15.6% and 14.8% of total revenues in 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. We have designed and developed both products and packaging for specific international markets and expect that our international revenues as a proportion of our total revenues will continue to grow over the long-term.
5



We seek to expand the number of brands sold through our existing international distribution network and continue to identify additional distribution partners for further expansion of our brands into other international markets.

Efficient Operating Model
To gain operating efficiencies, we oversee the production planning and quality control aspects of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of our products, while we primarily outsource the operating elements of these functions to well-established third-party providers.  This approach allows us to benefit from their core competencies and maintain a highly variable cost structure with low overhead, limited working capital requirements and minimal investment in capital expenditures.

Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands
Our business has grown through acquisition and expansion of the many brands we have purchased as a result of the efforts of our experienced management team. Our management team has significant experience in consumer product marketing, sales, legal and regulatory compliance, product development and customer service.  We rely on experienced personnel to bear the substantial responsibility of brand management and to effectuate our growth strategy.

Marketing and Sales

Our marketing objective is to increase sales and market share by developing innovative new products and line extensions and executing creative and cost-effective advertising and marketing programs. Our marketing strategy is further deployed through the acquisition and renovation of established consumer brands that possess what we believe to be significant brand value and unrealized potential and through growth of categories with existing brands where we have leading market positions. Our brand-building process involves the evaluation of the existing brand name, the development and introduction of innovative new products and the execution of marketing support programs.  Brand priorities vary from year-to-year.  Recognizing that financial resources are limited, we allocate our resources to focus on our strategic brands with the most impactful, consumer-relevant initiatives that we believe have the greatest opportunities for growth and financial success.  

Customers

Our senior management team and dedicated sales force strive to maintain long-standing relationships with our top customers.  We also contract with third-party sales management enterprises that interface directly with many of our remaining customers and report directly to members of our sales management team.  In an effort to ensure continued sales growth, we continue to focus on expanding our reliance on direct sales while reducing our reliance on brokers. 

We enjoy broad distribution across each of the major retail channels, including mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience, and club stores and e-commerce channels.  The following table sets forth the percentage of gross revenues for our U.S. customers across our six major distribution channels during each of the past three years ended March 31:
 
Percentage of Gross Revenues (1)
Channel of Distribution 2026 2025 2024
Mass 35.0  34.2  34.6 
Drug/Drug Wholesale 19.2  20.7  22.8 
Food 12.6  12.9  12.9 
Dollar 5.4  6.0  6.6 
Convenience 3.1  3.1  3.2 
Club 0.6  1.0  1.2 
Other (2)
24.1  22.1  18.7 
(1)Includes estimates for some of our wholesale customers that service more than one distribution channel
(2)Includes e-commerce retailers such as Amazon

Due to the diversity of our product lines, we believe that each of these channels is important to our business, and we continue to seek opportunities for growth in each channel.

We believe that our emphasis on strong customer relationships, speed and flexibility and leading sales technology capabilities, combined with consistent marketing support programs and ongoing product innovation, will continue to maximize our competitiveness in the increasingly complex retail environment.

During 2026, 2025 and 2024, Walmart accounted for approximately 20%, 19% and 20%, respectively, of our gross revenues. During 2026, 2025 and 2024, Amazon accounted for approximately 15%, 14%, and 11%, respectively, of our gross revenues.

We expect that for future periods a significant portion of our net sales will continue to be derived from a small number of customers, including Walmart and Amazon.

Outsourcing and Manufacturing

In order to maximize our competitiveness and efficiently allocate our resources, third-party manufacturers fulfill most of our manufacturing needs.  We have found that contract manufacturing often maximizes our flexibility and responsiveness to industry and consumer trends while minimizing the need for capital expenditures.  We select contract manufacturers based on their core competencies and our perception of the best overall value, including factors such as (i) depth of services, (ii) professionalism and integrity of the management team, (iii) manufacturing agility, quality and capacity, (iv) regulatory compliance and (v) competitive pricing. We require each of our suppliers, most of whom are based in the United States and Canada, to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets forth the basic and minimal expectations that all suppliers must meet in order to do business with us. We also conduct thorough reviews of each potential manufacturer’s facilities, quality standards, capacity and financial stability.  We generally purchase only finished products from our manufacturers.

Our primary contract manufacturers provide comprehensive services from product development through the manufacturing of finished goods.  This approach results in minimal capital expenditures and maximizes our cash flow, which allows us to reinvest to support our marketing initiatives, fund brand acquisitions and repay outstanding indebtedness.

At March 31, 2026, we had relationships with 95 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 18 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 60% of gross sales for 2026, compared to 16 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 58% of gross sales in 2025.  One of our suppliers, a privately owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, produced products that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2026, 2025 and 2024. This manufacturer accounted for approximately 21% of our gross revenues in each of 2026 and 2025 and 20% of our gross revenues in 2024, while we accounted for a significant portion of their gross revenues over that time period. No other single third-party supplier produces products that account for 10% or more of our gross revenues. Our long-term supply and manufacturing agreements explicitly outline the manufacturers’ obligations and product specifications with respect to the brand or brands being produced, including allocation of product liability risk. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the purchase price of products is subject to change due to fluctuations in input costs such as raw material, energy costs, packaging components and labor costs.

Some of our other products are manufactured on a purchase order basis, which is generally based on batch sizes and results in no long-term obligations or commitments. As a result, these manufacturers could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases. Although we are continually in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement. To the extent we rely on purchase orders, rather than supply and manufacturing agreements, to govern our commercial relationships with suppliers, we typically rely on implied warranties with respect to the products manufactured, and we do not have specifically negotiated allocation of risk with these third-party manufacturers. With regard to our products both manufactured under long-term agreements and purchase orders, in periods of high inflation we have experienced and may continue to experience frequent increases in prices of products due to fluctuations in input costs such as raw material, energy costs, packaging components and labor costs.

In addition to relying on contract manufacturers, we operate three manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada and Australia, which collectively manufacture products representing approximately 21% of our gross revenues.

We believe that most of the raw materials and packaging components used to produce our products at our manufacturing facilities and at our third-party manufacturing facilities are generally available through multiple sources acquired on both a contract and purchase order basis but are also subject to inflationary pressure, production delays and shortages from time to time. 

Warehousing and Distribution

We manage product distribution in the continental United States through one facility, which is owned and operated by a third-party provider, since fiscal 2020. This facility provides warehouse services including storage, handling and shipping, as well as transportation services, with respect to our full line of products, including (i) complete management services, (ii) carrier claims administration, (iii) proof of delivery, (iv) procurement, (v) report generation and (vi) freight payment services.

Competition

The business of selling brand name consumer products in the OTC health and personal care market is highly competitive.  This market includes numerous national and global manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers’ business both in the United States and abroad.  In addition, like most companies that market products in this category, we are experiencing continued competition from “private label” products introduced by major retail chains.  While we believe that our branded products provide superior quality and benefits, we are unable to predict the extent to which consumers will purchase “private label” products as an alternative to branded products, although we expect that this could increase during an economic downturn or periods of high inflation.

Our branded competitors include, among others, AbbVie Inc., Alcon, Bausch + Lomb, Bayer AG, Combe, Compass Diversified, Haleon plc, Kenvue, Mondelez International, Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, Opella, Scholl's Wellness Company, Sunstar Group, The Procter & Gamble Company and Unilever.

We compete on the basis of numerous factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, value to customers, price and product availability at the retail and e-commerce level.  Advertising, marketing, merchandising and packaging, the timing of new product introductions and line extensions also have a significant impact on customers’ buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales.  The structure and quality of our sales force, as well as sell-through of our products, affect in-store and online positioning, wall display space and inventory levels for retail sale.  Our markets are also highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market.  

Many of the competitors noted above are larger and have substantially greater research and development and financial resources than we do, and may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively and consistently on research and development, advertising and marketing, and may be able to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions. See “Competitive Strengths and Growth Strategy” above for additional information regarding our competitive strengths and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below for additional information regarding competition in our industry.
 
Regulation

Product Regulation
The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various U.S. federal agencies (including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)) and various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, marketed, distributed and sold. Our Regulatory and Quality team is guided by a senior member of management and staffed by individuals with appropriate quality and regulatory experience. Our Regulatory, Quality and Operations teams work closely with our third-party manufacturers and our own manufacturing operations on quality-related matters. We monitor our own manufacturing operations and our third-party manufacturers' compliance with FDA and relevant foreign regulations and perform periodic audits to assess compliance. This internal audit process is designed to assess our manufacturing processes and products against applicable regulatory and quality requirements.

If the FDA or a foreign governmental authority chooses to inspect a particular third-party manufacturing facility, our agreements generally require the third‑party manufacturer to notify us and provide updates regarding the inspection, as permitted. If we or our manufacturers fail to comply with applicable regulations, we could receive inspectional observations or become subject to enforcement actions, which could lead to significant claims or penalties or require us to recall or discontinue the sale and/or manufacturing of the non-compliant products.

Most of our U.S. OTC drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA’s monograph framework, initially established in 1972. The monograph system establishes conditions, such as active ingredients, uses or indications, doses, routes of administration, labeling and testing, under which certain broad categories of U.S. OTC drug products are generally recognized as safe and effective for their intended use. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, included the Over‑the‑Counter Monograph Safety, Innovation, and Reform Act, which revised the OTC monograph framework and provided the FDA with new authorities to update monographs. Products that comply with monograph requirements do not require pre-market approval from the FDA. OTC drug products fall under the requirements of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act ("FDC Act"), as amended by the CARES Act, which includes the Over-the-Counter Monograph Safety, Innovation, and Reform Act. These new authorities authorize FDA to add, remove or change monographs, and therefore, OTC monograph requirements continue to be subject to further FDA rulemaking, administrative orders and guidance.

8


Certain of our U.S. OTC drug products require the submission and approval of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”). These specific OTC drug products cannot be marketed until FDA approves the NDA or ANDA, and, after approval, are manufactured and labeled in accordance with an FDA-approved submission. These products are subject to FDA post‑marketing reporting, manufacturing, and labeling requirements in accordance with applicable regulations.

Certain of our U.S. OTC Healthcare products are medical devices regulated by the FDA through one of three classes of medical devices: Class I devices are low risk devices, Class II devices are intermediate risk devices and Class III are high risk devices. The class of the device determines, among other things, the type of pre-market submission/application required by FDA to market the device, and this system may involve pre-market clearance or approval. During the review process, the FDA evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the device, as well as the sufficiency of the label indications, directions, cautions and warnings for the medical device in question, as applicable.

Certain of our products are considered cosmetics regulated by the FDA through the FDC Act and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. The FDA does not require pre-market clearance for cosmetics, but manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that such products are not adulterated or misbranded. Furthermore, Congress passed the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (“MoCRA”), which expands FDA authority to regulate cosmetics. MoCRA provides new FDA authorities related to records access, mandatory recalls, adverse event reporting, facility registration, product listing and safety substantiation of products.

In accordance with the FDC Act and FDA regulations, we and our third‑party manufacturers of U.S. products must comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”). The FDA may periodically inspect our facilities and those of our third‑party manufacturers to assess compliance with cGMP requirements. Even where we are not performing manufacturing activities in our own facilities, cGMP requirements include oversight responsibilities with respect to contract manufacturers.

Our dietary supplement products are governed by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA"), which defines and regulates dietary supplements. Under DSHEA, the FDA published a final rule that requires persons who manufacture, package, label or hold a dietary supplement to establish and follow cGMPs.

Certain of our products are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (“FHSA”), the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 (“PPPA”) and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (“CPSIA”). In addition, certain products subject to the PPPA may only be legally marketed if they are packaged in child‑resistant packaging or bear specific labeling for use in households where there are no children. The CPSIA requires us to make available certificates of compliance for products subject to applicable CPSC regulations.

Certain of our products are regulated as pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”). Generally, substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating pests are considered pesticides under FIFRA. Products regulated under FIFRA are generally required to be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and to comply with applicable labeling and disclosure requirements. In addition, the contract manufacturers from which we source these products are required to maintain EPA registrations. EPA‑registered products are also subject to applicable state and local regulations in the jurisdictions where they are sold. One of our products qualifies as a minimum risk pesticide that is exempt from federal EPA registration but is subject to state and District of Columbia registration requirements.

Our Australian, Canadian and other international businesses are also subject to product regulations by local regulatory authorities in the various countries where these businesses operate, including regulations regarding manufacturing, labeling, marketing, distribution, sale and storage. In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration ("TGA") regulates OTC medicines to ensure their safety, quality, and efficacy. OTC medicines are evaluated before they are sold to the public, and they must be registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods ("ARTG") before being sold.

Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations
Our operations are subject to U.S. federal, state and local and foreign laws, rules and regulations relating to environmental concerns, including air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste management activities and the safety of our employees. We endeavor to take actions necessary to comply with such regulations, including periodic environmental and health and safety audits of our facilities. The audits, conducted by independent firms with expertise in environmental, health and safety compliance, include site visits as well as a review of documentary information, to determine compliance with such U.S. federal, state and local and foreign laws, rules and regulations. We seek to ensure responsible sourcing of our products and to improve our suppliers’ environmental, labor, health and safety and ethical practices through our Supplier Code of Conduct. We seek to minimize our resource footprint at our locations with a focus on managing waste, water and energy consumption.

Other Regulations
We are also subject to a variety of other regulations in the U.S. and various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export, antitrust and pharmacovigilance issues. To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, we may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the country’s ministry of health or comparable agency. We must also comply with product labeling and packaging regulations that may vary from country to country. In addition, we are subject to FTC and state regulations, as well as foreign regulations, relating to our product claims and advertising.

Impact of Regulations
Compliance with these various regulations has an impact on capital expenditures, earnings and our competitive position. Government regulations in both our U.S. and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction of some of our products. Our failure to comply with these regulations can also result in recalls or a product being removed from sale in a particular market, either temporarily or permanently. The adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing governmental regulation has and in the future could also require reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, recalls or discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of certain products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific substantiation, expanded adverse event reporting or other new requirements. Those changes have and will continue to require capital investments in facilities and equipment to meet the requirements and require us to incur additional compliance costs, as well as additional product development, material and production costs. If we fail to comply with these regulations, we could be subject to enforcement actions and the imposition of penalties.

Intellectual Property
We own a number of trademark registrations and applications in the United States, Canada and other foreign countries.  The following are some of the most significant registered trademarks we own in the United States and/or Canada:  BC, Boudreaux's Butt Paste, Chloraseptic, Clear Eyes, Compound W, Debrox, DenTek, Dramamine, Fleet, Gaviscon, Goody's, Luden's, Monistat, Nix, Summer's Eve and TheraTears.

Our trademarks and tradenames are how we convey that the products we sell are “brand name” products.  Our ownership of these trademarks and tradenames is very important to our business, as it allows us to compete based on the value and goodwill associated with these marks.  Additionally, we own or license patents on innovative and proprietary technology.  The patents evidence the unique nature of our products, provide us with exclusivity and afford us protection from the encroachment of others.  None of the patents that we own or license, however, is material to us on a consolidated basis. Enforcing our rights, or the rights of any of our licensors, represented by these trademarks, tradenames and patents is critical to our business and may require significant expense.  If we are not able to effectively enforce our rights, others may be able to dilute our trademarks, tradenames and patents and diminish the value associated with our brands and technologies.

While our trademarks and tradenames generally have indefinite lives if well maintained, our patents have defined lives expiring between 2026 and 2044. We do not own all of the intellectual property rights applicable to our products.  In those cases where our third-party manufacturers own patents that protect our products, we are dependent on them as a source of supply for our products. In addition, we rely on our suppliers for their enforcement of their intellectual property rights against infringing products.

Seasonality
Our business is generally not seasonal due to our well-diversified portfolio of brands. Advertising and marketing spending to support brands can be high during a specific season, such as summer selling for Compound W and the early winter to influence sales of Chloraseptic, Little Remedies and Luden’s. Given our agility in advertising and marketing support and product diversity, the quarterly timing of this advertising and marketing support and impact to earnings is difficult to predict.

Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including evolving fiscal policy, global supply chain constraints, changes in interest rates, a high inflationary environment, geopolitical events, including conflicts in the Middle East, and evolving U.S. and international trade restrictions and tariffs. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our consumers, including a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online, and have and may continue to see changes in retailer purchasing patterns due to these consumer patterns and the volatile economic environment.

10


The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. We have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. We and our manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of some of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages have negatively impacted our results of operations, and we expect further shortages will continue to have a negative impact on our sales. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results of operations and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including global supply chain constraints, inflation, tariffs, global conflicts and trade actions/disputes. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Human Capital Management

Our Culture and Values
Our mission is to deliver high-quality consumer health and personal care products that improve and enrich the lives of our consumers. Our culture is grounded in the principles of Leadership, Trust, Change and Execution. Trust is foundational to how we operate - trust in the safety, quality, and performance of our products; trust in the integrity of our manufacturing, marketing and business practices; and trust in the character and capabilities of our employees.

We believe our long‑term success depends on fostering a workplace where employees are empowered to take ownership, demonstrate leadership, and contribute meaningfully to our business and the communities we serve. Employees who embody these principles are encouraged to lead initiatives and projects that positively impact our organization, stakeholders, and society.
We are committed to maintaining a respectful, inclusive, and professional work environment. We value the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, skills, and experiences of our workforce and strive to create a culture where all employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential. Our employment practices are designed to promote equal employment opportunity, merit‑based advancement, and fair treatment, without regard to race, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or other legally protected characteristics. We regularly review our hiring, development, and workplace practices to support these objectives.

Talent Attraction and Workforce Practices
We seek to attract, retain, and develop a high‑quality workforce aligned with our business strategy and values. With employees across the United States and internationally, we focus on recruiting qualified individuals with the skills, experience, and leadership capabilities needed to support our current operations and future growth. Our recruiting and advancement practices are intended to support internal mobility, leadership development, and succession planning across all levels of the organization. We invest in workforce planning and talent management practices designed to ensure continuity of leadership and critical capabilities. These efforts include identifying key roles, developing internal talent pipelines, and aligning workforce capabilities with evolving business needs.

Ethics, Compliance, and Employee Relations
We maintain a comprehensive Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all employees and is designed to promote ethical behavior, integrity, and accountability throughout the organization. We are committed to maintaining a workplace free from intimidation, harassment, discrimination, and violence.

Employees are encouraged to raise concerns or report potential violations of our Code of Conduct and Ethics, other company policies, or applicable laws. We provide multiple reporting channels, including a third‑party reporting mechanism that allows for anonymity and confidentiality, where permitted by law. Reported concerns are reviewed and investigated in accordance with established procedures. Retaliation against an individual who raises a concern in good faith or participates in an investigation is strictly prohibited. Management believes that maintaining open communication, fair employment practices, and consistent application of policies supports positive employee relations and contributes to employee engagement and retention.

Our Employees
As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately 890 global employees. Approximately 57% of our workforce operates in the United States, 30% in Canada, 12% in Australia and Asia and 1% in Europe. Approximately 54% of our employees are salaried and 46% are paid hourly wages. We employ only a few part-time employees. Our workforce is 52% female and 48% male. None of our employees are a party to a collective bargaining agreement. Management believes that our relations with employees are good.

11


Learning, Development, and Performance Management
We believe that continuous learning and professional development are essential to both individual growth and organizational success and we encourage all employees to achieve their full potential by providing access to development opportunities, including on the job learning, mentorship, career development programs and Company-provided learning tools.
Our performance management process is designed to align individual objectives with business priorities while supporting employee development. Employees participate in regular performance reviews that assess results, behaviors, and competencies, and identify opportunities for skill development and career progression. Through these processes, we seek to promote accountability, support engagement, and encourage continuous improvement across the organization.

Health, Safety, and Well Being
The health, safety, and well‑being of our employees are priorities for our organization. We are committed to providing a safe work environment and to complying with applicable occupational health and safety laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. We implement safety programs and training, particularly at our manufacturing and production facilities, to promote safety awareness, prevent workplace injuries, and reinforce a culture of safety and shared responsibility. We monitor workplace safety performance and seek to comply with reporting requirements established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States, as well as applicable safety and health standards in all other countries in which we have employees, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore.

Community Engagement and Corporate Responsibility
We seek to operate as a responsible corporate citizen and to conduct our business in a manner that reflects our values. We encourage employees to engage with and support their local communities and provide flexibility for office locations to develop community engagement and volunteer initiatives that align with local needs.

Examples of these efforts include employee volunteer activities and community service events organized at various locations, including our corporate headquarters. We believe these initiatives strengthen our connection to the communities in which we operate and reinforce employee engagement and pride in our organization.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

We primarily depend on third-party manufacturers to produce the products we sell. If these third-party manufacturers are unable to produce our products in sufficient quantities to meet customer demand, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely impacted. In addition, if we are unable to maintain these manufacturing relationships or are unable to successfully transfer manufacturing to another third-party or our own manufacturing facility, we may be unable to meet customer demand, and our business and sales could suffer.

Many of our products are produced by a limited number of third-party manufacturers. Our ability to retain our current manufacturing relationships or engage in and successfully transition to new relationships or to our own manufacturing facilities is critical to our ability to deliver quality products to our customers in a timely manner. Certain of the Company's manufacturers, including third party and our own facilities, are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages negatively impacted our results of operations in fiscal 2026 and 2025, and we expect further shortages may have a negative impact on our sales and customer relationships and result in loss of shelf space/digital rank and higher costs. In some cases, we have identified additional third-party manufacturing to supply us with quantities of the product for which we are experiencing shortages, but these additions may not manufacture product in time to fully supplement the long-term forecasted demand. In addition, any failure by our third-party manufacturers to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including FDA or other governmental standards, could result in product quality issues, regulatory action, product recalls or reputational harm.

In the event that our primary third-party manufacturers are unable or unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner, we would have to rely on secondary manufacturing relationships or, to the extent unavailable, identify and qualify new manufacturing relationships. Because of the unique manufacturing requirements of certain products, the Company may be unable to timely identify or qualify new suppliers or at the quantities, quality and price levels needed. In addition, identifying alternative manufacturers without adequate lead times may involve additional manufacturing expense or delay in production. In some instances, we may seek to transfer the manufacture of certain products to our own facilities, which may result in additional manufacturing expense, delay in production, additional regulatory requirements and other disruptions to our business. In general, the consequences of not securing adequate, high quality and timely supplies of merchandise has negatively impacted inventory levels, which has adversely impacted our sales, could damage our reputation and result in lost customers, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations if such shortages continue.

Certain of our manufacturers who produce products for us have experienced cash flow shortages, and we have provided both prepayments and short-term loans to these suppliers to ensure continuous supply. Following the full transfer of product supply to other manufacturers, one supplier to which we extended a short-term loan discontinued operations and did not repay the loan. As a result, we wrote off the loan of approximately $10.3 million in fiscal 2026.  If any other suppliers cease operations or are otherwise unable to continue to supply products to us, or to repay their indebtedness, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

At March 31, 2026, we had relationships with 95 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 18 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 60% of gross sales for 2026, compared to 16 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 58% of gross sales in 2025. This level of concentration increases our exposure to operational, financial and strategic risks associated with such manufacturers.  One of our suppliers, a privately owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, produced products that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2026, 2025 and 2024. This manufacturer accounted for approximately 21%, respectively, of our gross revenues in 2026 and 2025 and 20% of our gross sales revenues in 2024, while we accounted for a significant portion of their gross revenues over that time period. No other single third-party supplier produces products that account for 10% or more of our gross revenues. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers also means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are continually in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement on acceptable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, even if we do enter into long-term contracts with certain manufacturers, our manufacturers may increase prices under the terms of our existing contracts if they experience increases in input costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

14


Price increases for raw materials, packaging, labor, energy and transportation costs, and other manufacturer, logistics provider or distributor demands, could continue to have an adverse impact on our margins.

The costs to manufacture and distribute our products are subject to fluctuation based on a variety of factors. Volatility and increases in commodity raw material (e.g. resins) and packaging component prices, labor, energy and transportation costs, and other input costs, including as a result of supply chain issues, shortages or tariffs, could significantly affect our profit margin and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations if our raw material suppliers, third-party manufacturers, logistics providers or distributors pass along those costs to us. Certain product categories have been impacted by higher inflation due to, among other things, increased transportation costs due to the U.S. war with Iran, the continuing impacts of labor shortages, global supply chain disruptions and the uncertain economic and geopolitical environment, including tariffs, which has negatively impacted our gross margin. Although the impact of these increased costs has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition to date, further input cost increases could have such a material impact.

In this economic environment, the manufacturers we use have increased, and may continue to increase, the cost to us of many of the products we purchase, which has impacted and could continue to adversely affect our margins in the event we are unable to pass along these increased costs to our customers or identify and qualify new manufacturers. There may be a delay or inability to fully offset such cost increases through pricing actions due to competitive dynamics, customer resistance, or contractual limitations. If we are unable to increase the price for our products to our customers or achieve cost savings in a rising cost environment, any such cost increases would likely further reduce our gross margins and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we increase the price of our products in order to maintain our current gross margins for our products, the increase may adversely affect demand for, and sales of, our products, especially if consumers shift to lower-priced alternatives or private label products in response to tariff-driven or inflationary price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that certain of our products could have difficulty absorbing further near-term price increases without potentially impacting market share, which would have a related adverse impact on our revenues.
Volatility in or worsening of economic conditions from high inflation, economic policy, tariffs, increased unemployment, geopolitical conflicts, public health issues and other factors beyond our control could reduce consumer spending, which could adversely impact demand for our products and our results of operations and financial condition.

Our financial performance depends on the stability of conditions that impact consumer spending. Adverse conditions or volatility in financial markets or the economy, including high interest rates, inflation from rising costs, tariffs, unemployment, bank failures, reductions in government assistance and the lack of consumer financing, could adversely impact consumer confidence and reduce disposable income, resulting in reduced consumer spending on our products. Geopolitical developments, including conflicts in the Middle East, disruptions to global shipping routes, and related increases in fuel and transportation costs, may further exacerbate these pressures. Existing volatility in the global economy, including from geopolitical conflicts, supply chain issues and rising costs, has not materially impacted consumer spending on our products, but further worsening of these conditions could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The high level of competition in our industry, much of which comes from competitors with greater resources, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The business of selling brand name consumer products in the OTC health and personal care market is highly competitive. This market includes numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers’ business both in the United States and abroad. Many of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do, and they may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on research and development and advertising and marketing, and may be able to respond more effectively to changing business and economic conditions, including in connection with inflation or recessionary conditions.

Certain of our product lines that account for a large percentage of our sales have a smaller market share relative to our competitors. In some cases, we may have a number one market position but still have a relatively small share of the overall market. Alternatively, we may hold a number two market position but have a substantially smaller share of the market versus the number one competitor. See “Part I, Item 1. Business - Major Brands” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding market share.

We compete for consumers’ attention based on a number of factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, value to consumers, price and product availability at the retail level. Advertising, marketing, merchandising and packaging and the timing of new product introductions and line extensions also have a significant impact on consumer buying decisions and, as a result, on our market share and our sales. Our markets are highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market.
15


New product innovations by our competitors, or our failure to develop new products, the failure of a new product launch by the Company, or the obsolescence of one or more of our products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our advertising, marketing and promotional programs are not effective, our sales may decline.

The structure and quality of our sales force, as well as sell-through of our products, affect in-store and our e-commerce product position, wall display space and inventory levels for retail sale. If we are unable to maintain our current distribution network, product offerings for retail sale, inventory levels and in-store and online positioning of our products, our sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by us. The introduction or expansion of store brand products that compete with our products at a lower price point has and could impact our sales and results of operations. Some of our products compete directly with widely advertised, promoted and merchandised brands within each product category, as well as with retailers, including drugstores, convenience stores and specialty stores, that are increasingly offering private labels and generic non-branded products, which are typically sold at lower prices. Consumer demand for lower-cost alternatives could increase, particularly in response to macroeconomic pressures. These trends could be exacerbated by rising costs, including tariffs, trade restrictions, export controls and sanctions, as well as ongoing geopolitical tensions, including conflicts in the Middle East and other regions, and other economic conditions that shift consumer demand to lower-priced products, as well as supply chain issues that result in reduced availability for our products. Competitive pricing may require us to reduce prices, which may result in lost revenue or a reduction of our profit margins. Future price adjustments by our competitors or our inability to react with price adjustments of our own could result in a loss of market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on a limited number of customers with whom we have no long-term agreements for a large portion of our gross revenues, and the loss of one or more of these customers or changes in their strategies and policies could reduce our gross revenues and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
                 
During 2026, Walmart and Amazon, which accounted for approximately 20% and 15%, respectively, of our gross revenues, were our only customers that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues. We expect that for future periods, our top ten customers, including Walmart and Amazon, in the aggregate, will continue to account for a large and potentially increasing portion of our sales. Our sales through e-commerce platforms are also subject to risks associated with platform policies, fee structures, fulfillment requirements, and algorithmic changes, which are outside of our control and may adversely impact our sales and margins. The loss of favorable positioning on these platforms could significantly reduce product visibility and sales. Many of our customers have sought to obtain lower pricing, better terms, additional trade spend, more strict logistics requirements or other changes to the customer-supplier relationship. If we are unable to effectively respond to the demands of our customers, these customers could reduce their purchases of our products and increase their purchases of products from competitors. Reductions in inventory by our customers, the loss of one or more of our top customers, including as a result of consolidation in the retail industry, or any significant decrease in sales to these customers based on changes in their strategies or policies, such as a reduction in the number of brands they carry, the amount of shelf space or positioning they dedicate to store brand products or to our particular products, or a significant reduction in our online positioning, could reduce our sales and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, many retailers have implemented inventory management strategies that include reductions in the amount of inventory they carry and related reductions in retail space and may continue such efforts in the future.

Our business is based primarily upon individual sales orders. We typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers. Accordingly, our customers could cease buying products or reduce the number of items they buy from us at any time and for any reason. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our customers means that we have no recourse in the event a customer no longer wants to purchase products from us or reduces the number of items purchased. If a significant number of our smaller customers, or any of our significant customers, elect not to purchase products from us or materially reduce the quantity of products they purchase from us, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Disruption in our third-party distribution center or our manufacturing facilities may prevent us from meeting customer demand, and our sales and financial condition may materially suffer as a result.

Our product distribution in the United States is managed by a third-party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana. We also operate three manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada and Australia, which manufacture products representing 21% of our gross revenues. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire at our distribution center or our own or a third-party manufacturing facility could damage our inventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost.
16


In addition, a serious disruption caused by performance or contractual issues with our third-party distribution manager, cybersecurity incidents affecting our logistics providers or systems, or labor shortages or contagious disease outbreaks or other public health emergencies at our distribution center or manufacturing facilities could also materially impact our product distribution. Any disruption could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could harm our reputation and cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times should we be required to replace our distribution center, the third-party distribution manager or our manufacturing facilities. As part of our recent acquisition of our Arnprior Ontario, Canada facility from our primary Clear Eyes supplier, we have committed to a long-term investment including a number of plant enhancements and capital investments, which may at times negatively impact production in the short-term but improve production over time. As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any future outbreak of other highly infectious diseases or public health emergencies could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our sales are impacted by consumer spending levels, the availability of our products at retail stores or for online purchase and our ability to manufacture and distribute products to our customers and consumers in an effective and efficient manner. Our sales are also impacted by demand for our products depending on consumers’ activities, lifestyles and financial resources.

We could experience adverse impacts from public health emergencies in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the following:

•supply chain delays or disruptions due to closed supplier facilities or distribution centers, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods produced in infected areas;

•shutdown of our manufacturing facilities due to illness or government order;

•reduced consumer demand for certain of our products as a result of any related economic downturn or restrictions on in-person purchases;

•change in demand for or availability of our products as a result of retailers or distributors modifying their restocking, fulfillment, or shipping practices in reaction to public health emergencies;

•decrease in our ability to develop innovative products due to reprioritization of suppliers and/or retailers;

•increase in working capital needs and/or an increase in trade accounts receivable write-offs as a result of related increased financial pressures on our suppliers or customers;

•impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets or a change in the useful life of finite-lived intangible assets from sustained related changes in consumer purchasing behaviors, government restrictions, or financial results;

•increase in raw material and other input costs resulting from related labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and market volatility; and

•fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates resulting from market uncertainties.

The extent to which a pandemic, and any related economic downturn, could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition depends on developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the severity and duration of any outbreak and recovery period, the availability, acceptance and efficacy of vaccines, future actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to a pandemic and the impact on our customers, employees and suppliers, distributors and other service providers. Moreover, the effects of a pandemic could exacerbate the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consumption trends for our products may not correlate to our results of operations.

We regularly review and may disclose certain consumption levels to provide an indication of the strength of our expected results of operations. Total company consumption is based on U.S. domestic IRI multi-outlet + C-store retail sales for the relevant period, retail sales from other third parties for certain e-commerce sales in North America, Australia consumption based on IMS data and other international net revenues as a proxy for consumption. Our calculation of consumption levels may not accurately reflect actual retail consumption given limitations of tracked data, and consumption levels could significantly differ from reported revenues.

17


Product liability claims and product recalls and related negative publicity could adversely affect our sales and operating results.

We are dependent on consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products. Negative consumer perception may arise from product liability claims and product recalls, regardless of whether such claims or recalls involve us or our products. The mere publication of information asserting concerns about the safety of our products or the ingredients used in our products could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We believe our products are safe and effective when used in accordance with label directions. However, adverse publicity about ingredients used in our products may discourage consumers from buying our products containing those ingredients, which would have an adverse impact on our sales.

From time to time we are subject to various product liability claims. Claims could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, include inadequate instructions or warnings regarding their use, or include inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. For example, we previously acquired a low sales volume talcum-based product as part of a larger acquisition, which was subsequently discontinued in 2017. The product has been identified in a small number of lawsuits along with other talcum-based products and their manufacturers alleging contamination of the products. To date, most claims against our discontinued product have been voluntarily dismissed and none have resulted in a material loss to the Company. Whether or not successful, product liability claims could result in negative publicity that could adversely affect the reputation of our brands and our sales and financial condition. Additionally, we may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products, which could negatively impact our financial condition. We could also be required for a variety of reasons to initiate product recalls, which we have done on several occasions. Any product recalls could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we have supply and manufacturing agreements with certain of our third-party manufacturers, which explicitly outline the allocation of product liability risk with respect to the products these manufacturers produce, some of our other products are manufactured on a purchase order basis. To the extent we rely on purchase orders to govern our commercial relationships with suppliers, we have not specifically negotiated the allocation of risk for product liability obligations. Instead, we typically rely on implied warranties from the suppliers with respect to these products. We may have difficulty enforcing these implied warranties, and we may be required to bear all or a significant portion of any product liability obligations rather than transferring this risk to our third-party manufacturers.

In addition, although we maintain, and require our suppliers and third-party manufacturers to maintain, product liability insurance coverage, potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, in the future we may not be able to obtain adequate product liability insurance coverage or we may be required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles in order to secure adequate product liability insurance coverage.

Risks Related to Acquisitions and Product Development

Our inability to successfully identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisition candidates and to obtain necessary financing could have an adverse impact on our growth and our financial condition and results of operations.

Achievement of our strategic objectives includes the acquisition, or potentially the disposition, of certain brands or product lines, and these acquisitions and dispositions may not be successful.

The majority of our historical growth has been driven by acquiring other brands and companies. At any given time, we may be engaged in discussions with respect to possible acquisitions that are intended to enhance our product portfolio, enable us to realize cost savings, and further diversify our category, customer and channel focus. Our ability to successfully grow through acquisitions depends on our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisition candidates and to obtain any necessary financing. However, we may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate suitable strategic acquisitions at attractive valuations, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or otherwise complete future acquisitions. All acquisitions entail various risks such that after completing an acquisition, we may also experience:

•Difficulties in integrating any acquired companies, suppliers, personnel and products into our existing business;

•Difficulties in realizing the benefits of the acquired company or products, including expected returns, margins, synergies and profitability, which can also result in subsequent impairments to the book value of the acquired assets;

•Higher costs of integration than we anticipated;

•Exposure to unexpected liabilities of the acquired business;
18



•Difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired business who are necessary to operate the business;

•Difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies throughout our acquired companies; or

•Adverse customer or stockholder reaction to the acquisition and/or the associated debt.

As a result, any acquisitions we pursue or complete could adversely impact our financial condition and results from operations. In addition, any acquisition could adversely affect our operating results as a result of higher interest costs from any acquisition-related debt and higher amortization expenses related to the acquired intangible assets.

In the event that we decide to divest of a brand or product line, we may encounter difficulty finding, or be unable to find, a buyer on acceptable terms in a timely manner.

Additionally, the pursuit of acquisitions and divestitures could also divert management's attention from our business operations and result in a delay in our efforts to achieve our strategic objectives.

If new products and product line extensions do not gain widespread customer acceptance or are otherwise discontinued, our financial performance could be impacted.

The Company's future performance and growth depends on our ability to successfully develop and introduce new products and product line extensions. The successful development and introduction of new products involves substantial research, development, marketing and promotional expenditures, which the Company may not be able to recover if the new products do not gain widespread market acceptance. New product development and marketing efforts, including efforts to enter markets or product categories in which we have limited or no prior experience, have inherent risks. These risks include product development or launch delays, competitor actions, regulatory approval hurdles and the failure of new products and line extensions to achieve anticipated levels of market acceptance. A negative outcome in any of these risks could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Regulatory Risks

Regulatory matters governing our industry could have a significant negative effect on our sales and operating costs.

In both the United States and in our foreign markets, our operations are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. Such laws, regulations and other constraints exist at the federal, state and local levels in the United States and at analogous levels of government in foreign jurisdictions.

In particular, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, marketing, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various U.S. federal agencies, including the FDA, FTC and CPSC, the EPA and by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed, stored and sold. The FDC Act and FDA regulations require that the manufacturing processes of our facilities and third-party manufacturers of U.S. products must also comply with the FDA’s cGMPs. The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third-party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third-party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs. The health regulatory bodies of other countries have their own regulations and standards, which may impose additional requirements beyond the U.S. FDA cGMPs.

Heightened regulatory activity and expectations worldwide, particularly for sterile eye care products, have contributed to ongoing manufacturing disruptions and capacity constraints across the industry. These conditions have impacted, and we expect they will continue to impact for the foreseeable future, the availability of sterile eye care products, which has and may continue to adversely affect our net revenues, product mix, customer service levels, and our ability to fully meet demand in affected categories. While we continue to pursue alternate sources of supply where feasible, qualification, validation and regulatory readiness activities can require significant time and resources and may not fully mitigate near-term constraints. In fiscal 2026, we acquired a sterile eye care manufacturing facility and expect to make investments to enhance quality systems, expand capabilities and improve the consistency and reliability of supply over the long term. The timing and extent of any improvements will depend on the successful execution of these initiatives, including equipment upgrades, process improvements, staffing, and completion of required validations and regulatory activities. Accordingly, while we believe these investments position us to strengthen supply over time, achieving sustained improvements is expected to be a multi-step process and may not alleviate current or near-term supply limitations.

19


In addition, our and our suppliers’ operations are subject to the oversight of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and some suppliers by the National Labor Relations Board. Our activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products and their constituent materials and components are manufactured and sold. We have successfully moved the manufacture of certain of our more highly regulated products to our own manufacturing facilities, which will subject our facility to increased regulatory requirements and scrutiny with respect to both our existing and new operations there.

If we or our third-party manufacturers or distributors fail to comply with applicable regulations, we could become subject to enforcement actions, significant penalties or claims, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we or our third-party manufacturers or distributors could be required to:

•Suspend manufacturing operations;

•Modify product formulations or manufacturing processes;

•Suspend the sale or require a recall of non-compliant products; or

•Change product labeling, packaging, distribution, storage, marketing, or advertising, or take other corrective action.

The adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or the cessation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our or our third-party manufacturers' or distributors' failure to comply with FDA, FTC, EPA or any other federal and state regulations, or with similar regulations in foreign markets, that cover our product registrations, product claims or advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, may result in enforcement actions and imposition of penalties, litigation by private parties, or otherwise materially adversely affect the distribution and sale of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulatory authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission, have increasingly focused on the substantiation of marketing and advertising claims and have commenced enforcement actions against companies for failures to adequately substantiate such claims. As a result, we may face increased scrutiny of our marketing practices, and any determination that our claims are not adequately supported could result in enforcement actions, including fines, injunctions, product relabeling or other corrective measures, as well as increased risk of private litigation, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks associated with doing business internationally.

Approximately 16% of our total 2026 revenues were attributable to our international business. We generally rely on brokers and distributors for the sale of our products in foreign countries. In addition, some of our third-party manufacturers are located outside the United States. Risks of doing business internationally include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Political instability or declining economic conditions in the countries or regions where we operate or rely on third-party manufacturers or suppliers, which could adversely affect sales of our products in these countries or regions or our ability to obtain adequate supply of our products;

•Geopolitical conflict that disrupts global trade routes and shipping;

•Currency controls that restrict or prohibit the payment of funds or the repatriation of earnings to the United States;

•Fluctuating foreign exchange rates and tariffs that result in unfavorable increases in the price of our products or cause increases in the cost of certain products purchased from our foreign third-party manufacturers;

•Requirements under laws and regulations concerning ethical business practices;

•Trade restrictions and exchange controls;

•Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

20


•Difficulty protecting our intellectual property rights and avoiding diversion of our products in these markets; and

•Increased costs of compliance with general business and tax regulations in these countries or regions.

Our operations are dependent on foreign distributors and sales agents for compliance and adherence to foreign laws and regulations that we may not be familiar with, and we cannot be certain that these distributors and sales agents will adhere to such laws and regulations or adhere to our business practices and policies. Any violation of laws and regulations by foreign distributors or sales agents or a failure of foreign distributors or sales agents to comply with applicable business practices and policies could result in legal or regulatory sanctions or potentially damage our reputation. Although we require by contract that our distributors maintain strict compliance with all applicable laws, and have the right to terminate those relationships should we determine a distributor is in material non-compliance, we cannot ensure that our foreign distributors and sales agents will steadfastly comply with all such laws. If we fail to manage these risks effectively, we may not be able to continue our international operations, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to increasing focus on environmental and sustainability issues.

While we seek to maintain sustainable operations that are both operationally and financially beneficial to our business, and contribute to the health and wellness of the communities in which we operate, we may experience reduced demand for our products and loss of customers if we do not meet their expectations, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Land use, water use, carbon emissions, deforestation, recyclability or recoverability of packaging, plastic waste, ingredients and other sustainability concerns remain key topics with federal, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations, our customers, consumers and investors. These evolving priorities have resulted, and may continue to result, in new or more stringent laws, regulations and requirements, including emerging extended producer responsibility (“EPR”) regimes relating to the lifecycle management of packaging and certain product components. EPR requirements, which are being adopted in various jurisdictions in which we operate, generally shift responsibility for the collection, recycling, disposal and reporting of packaging materials to producers such as us. These requirements are evolving and vary by jurisdiction and may require us to join and fund producer responsibility organizations, implement new data tracking and reporting systems, modify packaging designs, or make changes to our supply chain and product offerings. Compliance with these and other sustainability-related regulations may result in increased costs, including fees, capital expenditures and administrative burdens, and may disrupt our operations. In addition, we could also lose revenue if our consumers change brands, our customers refuse to buy our products, or investors choose not to invest in our debt or common stock if we do not meet their sustainability expectations. For example, since 2020, some of our major customers requested that we respond to various questionnaires to evaluate our sustainability efforts. Efforts to meet these standards could impact our costs resulting in reduced profits, and failure to meet our customers’ expectations could impact our sales and business reputation.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to compete effectively in the market for our products could be negatively impacted.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademarks, tradenames and patents. Our trademarks and tradenames convey that the products we sell are “brand name” products. We believe consumers ascribe value to our brands, some of which are over 100 years old. We own or exclusively license the material trademarks, tradenames and patents used in connection with the manufacturing, packaging, marketing and sale of our products. These rights prevent our competitors or new entrants to the market from using our valuable brand names and technologies. Therefore, trademark, tradename and patent protection is critical to our business. Although most of our material intellectual property is registered in the United States and in applicable foreign countries, we may not be successful in asserting protection of our intellectual property. In addition, third parties may assert claims against our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to successfully resolve those claims, which would cause us to lose the right to use the intellectual property subject to those claims. If we were to lose the exclusive right to use one or more of our intellectual property rights, the loss of such exclusive right could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, other parties may infringe our intellectual property rights, including through e-commerce channels, digital marketplaces or unauthorized online sales, which may be more difficult to monitor and enforce, and may thereby dilute the value of our brands in the marketplace. Brand dilution could cause confusion in the marketplace and adversely affect the value that consumers associate with our brands, which could negatively impact our business and sales. Furthermore, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation in which we are enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including proceedings involving trademark infringement, counterfeiting or unauthorized distribution, which could require us to incur substantial fees and expenses and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
21



We depend on third parties for intellectual property relating to some of the products we sell, and our inability to maintain or enter into future license agreements may result in our failure to meet customer demand, which would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We have licenses or manufacturing agreements with third parties that own intellectual property (e.g., formulae, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, patents and other technology) used in the manufacture and sale of certain of our products. In the event that any such license or manufacturing agreement expires or is otherwise terminated, we will lose the right to use the intellectual property covered by such license or agreement. Similarly, our rights could be reduced if the applicable licensor or third-party manufacturer fails to maintain or protect the licensed intellectual property, because, in such event, our competitors could obtain the right to use the intellectual property without restriction. If either of these intellectual property losses were to occur, we might not be able to develop or obtain replacement intellectual property at all or in a timely or cost-effective manner. Additionally, any modified products may not be well-received by customers. The consequences of losing the right to use or having reduced rights to such intellectual property could negatively impact our business and sales due to our failure to meet consumer demand for the affected products or require us to incur costs for the development of new or different intellectual property, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, development of replacement products may be time-consuming and ultimately may not be feasible. Further, disputes with licensors or third-party manufacturers regarding intellectual property rights, including ownership or scope of use, could result in litigation or the loss of rights necessary to continue to market certain products.

Virtually all of our assets consist of goodwill and intangible assets and are subject to impairment risk.

As our financial statements indicate, the majority of our assets consist of goodwill and intangible assets, principally the trademarks, tradenames and patents that we have acquired. On an annual basis, and otherwise when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangible assets might not be recoverable, we assess the potential impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets. If any of our brands sustain significant or prolonged declines in revenues or profitability or performance not in line with our expectations, the carrying value may no longer be recoverable, in which case a non-cash impairment charge may be recorded. In addition, unfavorable changes in economic factors used to estimate fair value of certain brands (including the discount rate) could indicate that the fair value no longer exceeds the carrying value. For example, if the Company’s brand performance is weaker than projections used in valuation calculations, the value of such brands may become impaired. In the event that such analysis would result in the fair value being lower than the carrying value, we would be required to record an impairment charge. A significant charge in our financial statements would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. We have recorded impairment charges resulting from changes in our long-term assumptions for certain brands, including the discount rate, future revenue growth, expected inflationary pressures and other long-term estimates. However, sustained or significant future declines in revenue, profitability, lost distribution, other adverse changes in expected operating results and/or unfavorable changes in economic factors used to estimate fair value of certain brands (including the discount rate) could indicate that the fair value no longer exceeds the carrying value, in which case a non-cash impairment charge may be recorded in future periods. Should the value of those assets or other assets become further impaired or our financial condition be materially adversely affected in any way, our intangible assets that could be sold to repay our liabilities would be reduced. As a result, our creditors and investors may not be able to recoup the amount of the indebtedness that they have extended to us or the amount they have invested in us.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Technology

We rely significantly on information technology. Any inadequacy, interruption, theft or loss of data, malicious attack, integration failure, failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on our systems or other security failure of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business and damage the reputation of our brands.

We rely extensively on our information technology systems, networks and digital platforms, many of which are managed by third-party service providers, to manage the data, communications and business processes for all of our functions, including our marketing, sales (including e-commerce), manufacturing, logistics, customer service, accounting and administrative functions. These systems include programs and processes relating to internal communications and communications with other parties, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, marketing and selling products to customers (including through e-commerce channels), customer order entry and order fulfillment, shipping product to customers, billing customers and receiving and applying payment, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements, collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee, investor and other stakeholder information and personal data and other processes necessary to manage the Company's business. As a result, we are exposed to cybersecurity risks both within our own systems and across our third-party ecosystem and supply chain.

22


We and certain of our suppliers and customers have faced, and likely will continue to face evolving cybersecurity threats, including ransomware, malware, denial-of-service attacks, credential theft, business email compromise, phishing, social engineering (including AI-enabled impersonation), supply chain attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems, networks, devices and data. These threats may be directed at our information technology environment or at third parties that provide technology or operational services to us, such as cloud service providers, ERP or other enterprise application providers, customer/retailer ordering interfaces, payment processors, marketing or data analytics vendors, contract manufacturers and third-party logistics providers. Because we rely on these third parties and data connections to operate key processes, a cybersecurity incident could also result from a compromise of, or disruption to, a third-party’s systems even if our own systems are not directly compromised. A cybersecurity incident could, among other things, disrupt the availability of systems used for order processing, forecasting, manufacturing planning, distribution, invoicing, treasury operations or financial reporting; delay shipments; reduce product availability; result in chargebacks or penalties from customers; and cause us to incur significant costs related to containment, investigation, remediation, restoration of data and systems, and enhanced protective measures. While we do not believe prior incidents have had a material adverse impact on our business, future attacks including as a result of vulnerabilities in third-party systems or supply chain cyber risks, could result in a serious information security breach, related litigation and regulatory inquiries, reputational harm and diversion of management attention, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Increased information technology security threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of the information technology systems, networks and services of the Company, its customers and business partners, as well as the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the data of the Company, its customers and business partners. As a result, the Company's information technology systems, networks or service providers could be damaged or cease to function properly or the Company could suffer a loss or disclosure of business, personal or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, including system disruptions, catastrophic events, power outages, cyber-attacks and security breaches. To help guard against these risks, the Company provides quarterly employee security training and maintains a compliance program with updated security policies to help evaluate and address potential threats and attacks. However, these measures may not be effective in preventing or mitigating all cybersecurity incidents.

In addition, to manage these risks, the Company has conducted regular security audits by an outside firm based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") standards to address any potential service interruptions or vulnerabilities. Management regularly reports to the Company’s Board on information security risks and audit results. The Company has implemented a comprehensive Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan designed to promptly identify, assess, and respond to potential cybersecurity threats and incidents. This plan includes a structured escalation matrix that defines incident severity levels and corresponding response protocols. In accordance with the plan, material cybersecurity matters are escalated to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Further, the Company has implemented continuity and recovery plans in the event of a disruption. However, if these plans do not provide effective protection, the Company may suffer interruptions in its ability to manage or conduct its operations, including in all of the Company’s functions described above, which may adversely affect its business and results of operations. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance, such coverage may not be available on acceptable terms in the future, may not cover all types of losses, may be subject to deductibles, exclusions or coverage disputes, and may be insufficient to cover the full extent of costs, liabilities or business interruption losses. The Company may need to expend additional resources in the future to continue to protect against, or to address problems caused by, any business interruptions or data security breaches.

In addition, a cybersecurity incident could result in unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, confidential or proprietary information, including personal information relating to employees, customers or consumers, which could subject us to notification obligations, litigation (including putative class actions), contractual claims and regulatory enforcement under privacy, data protection and other laws. These events could give rise to unwanted media attention, damage our reputation, damage our customer, consumer or user relationships, and result in lost sales, fines, lawsuits, remediation costs, or otherwise adversely impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition. We may also be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against or respond to or alleviate problems caused by a security breach. We are also subject to evolving federal, state and international cybersecurity and privacy requirements and, a cybersecurity incident could require us to make public disclosures, including under SEC rules (such as reporting requirements for material cybersecurity incidents), which could increase the risk of litigation, regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm. For additional information regarding our cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance, see Item 1C. “Cybersecurity.”

Risks Related to Artificial Intelligence

The use of artificial intelligence technologies presents operational, legal and regulatory risks.

The rapid evolution and growing adoption of artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning technologies present emerging risks to the security of our information, as well as the information of our customers and business partners. As with cybersecurity risks, the use of AI by our employees, or by our customers and business partners, could result in the loss or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information or the generation of inaccurate, biased or unintended outputs that could impact business decisions, customer interactions or regulatory compliance.
23



The legal, regulatory and ethical landscapes around the use of AI technologies, including generative AI, are rapidly evolving and uncertain, including in relation to the areas of intellectual property, cybersecurity and privacy and data protection. These developments may result in new or expanded legal and compliance obligations and could impose significant operational or compliance burdens on our business. In addition, the use of AI technologies may create risks relating to the ownership, protection or enforceability of our intellectual property, or result in claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties.

In addition to our existing business continuity and incident response plans, which are designed to address cybersecurity incidents, the Company has implemented an internal AI policy. This policy restricts the use of AI technologies by requiring employees to obtain prior approval from the Company’s AI Technology Governance Committee, in order to evaluate any potential security, compliance, or operational risks. Nonetheless, the use of AI by our employees, suppliers and customers could expose our confidential information or those of our stakeholders, which could have a material adverse impact on our business reputation, result in regulatory action or legal liability.

As we evaluate and potentially expand the use of AI technologies in our operations, including in tools used by employees or customer-facing applications, we may face additional risks, including those described above, as well as increased compliance costs and operational complexity.

Risks Related to Data Privacy

We are subject to complex and evolving data privacy, data protection and data security laws, and failure to comply could result in significant costs, liabilities and operational restrictions.

As we conduct our operations, we move data across national borders, and consequently we are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations in the United States and abroad regarding privacy, data protection and data security. The scope of the laws that may be applicable to us is often uncertain and may be conflicting. Numerous local, municipal, state, federal and international law and regulations address privacy and security including but not limited to the California Online Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act.

These privacy and security laws and regulations change frequently, and new legislation continues to be introduced. As of January 1, 2026, comprehensive privacy laws are in effect in 20 U.S. states, complicating our privacy compliance obligations through the introduction of increasingly disparate privacy requirements across the various U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate. In Europe, the European Union’s ("EU") General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) greatly increases the jurisdictional reach of EU law and adds a broad array of requirements for handling personal data, including the public disclosure of significant data breaches. In addition, it is important to note that many countries are following the EU in producing a broad omnibus law in relation to privacy protection.

Compliance with these evolving requirements may necessitate significant operational changes and could impose substantial and increasing costs over time. Any failure to comply could result in regulatory investigations, significant fines, penalties or restrictions on our ability to process or transfer data across jurisdictions, and reputational harm.

Risks Related to our Financing

Our current indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and we may incur substantially more debt in the future.

At March 31, 2026, our total indebtedness, including current maturities, was approximately $1.0 billion and assuming the closing conditions are met related to our agreement to acquire certain brands in the first half of fiscal 2027, that total will increase to approximately $2.2 billion.

Our indebtedness could:

•Increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

24


•Require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations toward repayment of our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, investments and other general corporate purposes;

•Limit our ability to fund additional acquisitions;

•Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets in which we operate;

•Place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•Limit, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds on favorable terms or at all.

The terms of the indentures governing our 3.750% senior notes due April 1, 2031 (the "2021 Senior Notes") and our 5.125% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2028 (the "2019 Senior Notes"), and the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility, allow us to issue and incur additional debt only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in those respective agreements. If new debt is added to current debt levels, the related risks described above could increase.

At March 31, 2026, we had $182.9 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility to support our operating activities. We currently have no balance on our revolving credit facility, but future borrowings would be subject to variability in interest rates which could limit our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Our capital structure and ability to engage in strategic transactions is limited in significant respects by the restrictive covenants in our revolving credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes.

Our revolving credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes impose restrictions that could impede our ability to enter into certain corporate transactions, as well as increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, by limiting our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in our business and industry. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things:

•Borrow money or issue guarantees;

•Pay dividends, repurchase stock from, or make other restricted payments to, stockholders;

•Make investments or acquisitions;

•Use assets as security in other transactions;

•Sell assets or merge with or into other companies;

•Enter into transactions with affiliates; and

•Sell stock in our subsidiaries.

Our ability to engage in these types of transactions is generally limited by the terms of the revolving credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes, even if we believe that a specific transaction would positively contribute to our future growth, operating results or profitability.

In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain certain fixed charge ratios. Although we believe we can continue to meet and/or maintain the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement, our ability to do so may be affected by events outside our control. Covenants in our revolving credit facility also require us to use 100% of the proceeds we receive from non-permitted debt issuances or certain issuances of refinancing debt to repay outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facility. Any failure by us to comply with the terms and conditions of the credit agreement and the indentures governing the senior notes could result in an event of default, which may allow our creditors to accelerate our debt and therefore have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

The senior credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes contain cross-default provisions that could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness.

25


The revolving credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes contain provisions that allow the respective creditors to declare all outstanding borrowings under one agreement to be immediately due and payable as a result of a default under another agreement. Failure to make a payment required by the indentures governing the senior notes may lead to an event of default under the indentures governing the senior notes and any outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility. If the debt under the revolving credit facility and indentures governing the senior notes were accelerated, the aggregate amount immediately due and payable as of March 31, 2026 would have been approximately $1.0 billion.  We presently do not have sufficient liquidity to repay these borrowings in the event they were to be accelerated, and we may not have sufficient liquidity in the future to do so.  Additionally, we may not be able to borrow money from other lenders to enable us to refinance our indebtedness.  At March 31, 2026, the book value of our current assets was $431.5 million.  Although the book value of our total assets was $3,494.3 million, approximately $2,880.7 million was in the form of intangible assets, including goodwill of $581.1 million, a significant portion of which may not be available to satisfy our creditors in the event our debt is accelerated.

Any failure to comply with the restrictions of any of our current or subsequent financing agreements may result in an event of default. Such default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt, as well as any other debt to which the cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions apply. In addition, the lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they had made to supply us with additional funding. As a result, any default by us under our credit agreement, indentures governing the senior notes or any other financing agreement could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

General Risk Factors

Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to the risk of, and from time to time in the ordinary course of business we are involved in, litigation by employees, customers, consumers, suppliers, competitors, regulators, stockholders or others through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits and regulatory actions, is difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to such lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. The cost to defend current and future litigation may be significant. There may also be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could decrease customer or consumer acceptance of our products, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. For example, although our marketing is evidence-based, consumers and competitors may challenge, and have in the past challenged, certain of our marketing claims by alleging, among other things, false and misleading advertising with respect to certain of our products. Such challenges could result in our having to pay monetary damages or limit our ability to maintain current marketing claims. Conversely, we have, and may be required in the future to, initiate litigation against others to protect the value of our intellectual property and the related goodwill or enforce an agreement or contract that has been breached. These matters may be time consuming and expensive, but may be necessary to protect our assets and realize the benefits of the agreements and contracts that we have negotiated. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on our key personnel, and the loss of the services provided by any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business and results of operations.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management. These employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time. We may not be able to successfully retain existing personnel or identify, hire and integrate new personnel. While we believe we have developed depth and experience among our key personnel, our business may be adversely affected if one or more of these key individuals were to leave or were to experience serious illness, become disabled, or pass away. We do not maintain any key-man or similar insurance policies covering any of our senior management or key personnel.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may discourage potential acquirers of our Company, which could adversely affect the value of our securities.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our Board of Directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without further stockholder approval, up to five million shares of preferred stock in one or more series of preferred stock issuances. Our Board of Directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock and determine, as applicable, the voting and other powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions for such series of preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. We may issue additional preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company without further action by our stockholders. The shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights and by the creation of class or series voting rights.
26



Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains additional provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire or attempt to acquire control of our Company. In addition, we are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law that limit, in some cases, our ability to engage in certain business combinations with significant stockholders.

These provisions, either alone, or in combination with each other, give our current directors and executive officers the ability to significantly influence the outcome of a proposed acquisition of the Company. These provisions would apply even if an acquisition or other significant corporate transaction was considered beneficial by some of our stockholders. If a change in control or change in management is delayed or prevented by these provisions, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.

Changes in our provision for income taxes or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns or a determination of tax jurisdiction could adversely affect our results.

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by several factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:

•Changes in the income allocation methods for state taxes, and the determination of which states or countries have jurisdiction to tax our Company;

•An increase in non-deductible expenses for tax purposes, including certain stock-based compensation, executive compensation and impairment of goodwill;

•Transfer pricing adjustments;

•Tax assessments resulting from tax audits or any related tax interest or penalties that could significantly affect our income tax provision for the period in which the settlement takes place;

•Tax liabilities from acquired businesses;

•Changes in accounting principles; and

•Changes in tax laws or related interpretations, accounting standards, regulations and interpretations in multiple tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement of the attributes prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740. As a multinational corporation, we conduct our business in several countries and are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. The taxation of our business is subject to the application of multiple and sometimes conflicting tax laws and regulations as well as multinational tax conventions. Our effective tax rate is dependent upon the availability of tax credits and carryforwards. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation and the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Consequently, taxing authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against us that could materially impact our tax liability and/or our effective income tax rate.

In addition, we may be subject to examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. If tax authorities challenge the relative mix of our U.S., state and international income, or successfully assert the jurisdiction to tax our earnings, our future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
27


We recognize the importance of data privacy and security and are committed to safeguarding and protecting our own confidential information and other confidential information shared with us. We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all our critical systems and information, which is integrated into our overall risk management program. This cybersecurity risk management program involves the strategic planning, operation, implementation and monitoring of cybersecurity practices within our organization. Our cybersecurity program also includes a comprehensive incident response plan ("IRP") to respond to security breaches and cyberattacks.

In addition, our cybersecurity IRP is part of our overall Information Security Program, which is led by the Company’s Information Technology ("IT") Vice President ("VP") and Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") and is overseen by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer & Chief Operating Officer ("CFO & COO").

The IRP is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and continued availability of all confidential information in the care of the Company and the information systems owned or used by the Company, as well as the Company’s ability to operate. Our cybersecurity IRP includes controls and procedures for timely and accurate reporting of any cybersecurity incident. In accordance with the plan, material cybersecurity incidents are escalated to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. We design and assess our program based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes the following:

•An ongoing process of identifying, evaluating and addressing our cybersecurity threats;

•A security team responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk, assessment processes, security controls and responses for security breaches and cyberattacks;

•The use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, perform tabletop exercises, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls designed to anticipate cyberattacks and respond to breaches. Procedures include annual internal vulnerability scans and external penetration tests;

•Regular cybersecurity awareness training for all employees to provide a better understanding of the issues and risks related to cybersecurity and data privacy. We realize that cybersecurity is not just the job of the IT security team; the Company and all employees play a critical role in managing the risk;

•Phishing and other exercises performed by our IT department periodically throughout the year to test our systems and reinforce the training provided to all personnel;

•A cybersecurity incident response plan managed by our VP of IT/CISO, which includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents and is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and continued availability of information possessed by the Company;

•A third-party cybersecurity risk management process for service providers, suppliers and vendors performed throughout the year.

We have not identified any risks from known cybersecurity threats, including any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For a detailed discussion on the Company’s cybersecurity related risks, see “Risk Factors” relating to information technology contained in Part 1, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk a part of its overall risk oversight function. The VP of IT/CISO reports to the CFO & COO, who regularly reports to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee regarding cybersecurity risks and our risk management program.

The Audit Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program, including reviewing risk assessments and policies with respect to the Company’s IT systems, privacy, information governance and cybersecurity management. The Audit Committee meets with management at least annually, and as necessary, to review the Company’s IT security program, compliance and controls with the CFO & COO and/or CISO, including the potential impact of data privacy risk exposures on the Company’s business, financial results, operations and reputation, the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate such exposures, and major legislative and regulatory developments that could materially impact the Company’s data privacy risk exposure.

28


Our VP of IT/CISO and CFO & COO are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The cyber security risk management team is led by our VP of IT/CISO, who has significant experience across digital innovation and technology-enabled growth, information security, infrastructure, operations and compliance. The team, which includes personnel with Certified Information Systems Security Professional ("CISSP") certification from the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and oversees both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants.

Members of our executive leadership team, including our CFO & COO and our Senior Vice President and General Counsel, as well as the other members as needed, supervise efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which include briefings from internal security personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public, or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
                    
We lease our corporate headquarters located in Tarrytown, New York.  Primary functions performed at the Tarrytown facility include marketing, sales, operations, quality control, regulatory affairs, finance, information technology and legal.  The current lease expires on December 31, 2027. On October 16, 2025, we entered into an amendment to this lease that extends the term of the lease to December 31, 2037 and the commencement date is subject to certain conditions set forth in the lease.

Our logistics provider, GEODIS Logistics LLC ("GEODIS"), leases a warehouse on our behalf in Clayton, Indiana. This property serves as our primary warehouse. The lease expires on February 28, 2030.

We own an office and manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia. We also own and operate manufacturing facilities in Arnprior Ontario, Canada and Victoria, Australia.

These properties are utilized by both our North American OTC Healthcare segment and our International OTC Healthcare segment.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business.  We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss.  These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted.  The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).  We believe the resolution of routine matters and other incidental claims, taking our reserves into account, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph (“Performance Graph”) compares our cumulative total stockholder return since March 31, 2021, with the cumulative total stockholder return for the Russell 2000 Index, Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index and our peer group indexes. The Company is included in each of the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index and the Russell 2000 Index. The Performance Graph assumes that the value of the investment in the Company’s common stock and each index was $100.00 on March 31, 2021.  The Performance Graph was also prepared based on the assumption that all dividends paid, if any, were reinvested.  The Peer Group Index is a self-constructed peer group consisting of companies in the consumer products industry with comparable revenues and market capitalization, from which the Company has been excluded. Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC, Primo Brands and Revelyst, Inc., which were included in the Old Peer Group, were replaced in the New Peer Group as they ceased to be relevant peers because their financial profiles no longer provided meaningful comparables and Revelyst, Inc. was split and sold. BellRing Brands, Inc., The Simply Good Foods Company and Spectrum Brands Holdings were added as replacements based on their similar financial profiles.

ITEM 6. RESERVED

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or described by the forward-looking statements. Future results could differ materially from the discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as those described in future reports filed with the SEC.

General
We are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name OTC health and personal care products to mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to create our competitive advantage.

We have grown our product portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of consumer health and personal care brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We have acquired well-recognized brands from consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and private equity firms. While certain of these brands have long histories of brand development and investment, we believe that, at the time we acquired them, many were considered “non-strategic” by their previous owners. As a result, these acquired brands did not benefit from adequate management focus and marketing support during the period prior to their acquisition, which created opportunities for us to reinvigorate these brands and improve their performance post-acquisition. After adding a brand to our portfolio, we seek to increase its sales, market share and distribution in both existing and new channels through our established retail distribution network. We pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and marketing support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations and innovative development of brand extensions.

Acquisitions
Acquisition of Pillar5
On December 18, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Pillar5, which was funded through a combination of cash on hand and our existing asset-based revolving credit facility.

Based in Arnprior Ontario, Canada, Pillar5 is a leading sterile ophthalmic manufacturer and one of our current Clear Eyes suppliers.

The pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.

The details of this acquisition are included in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, Note 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pending Acquisition of Foundation Consumer Brands Product Portfolio
On March 19, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities primarily related to a portfolio of over-the-counter consumer health products, including Breathe Right® and certain other brands from Foundation Consumer Brands, LLC. We anticipate the transaction to close in the first half of fiscal 2027.

Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including evolving fiscal policy, global supply chain constraints, changes in interest rates, a high inflationary environment, geopolitical events, including conflicts in the Middle East, and evolving U.S. and international trade restrictions and tariffs. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our consumers, including a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online, and have and may continue to see changes in retailer purchasing patterns due to these consumer patterns and the volatile economic environment.

34


The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. We have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. We and our manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of some of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages have negatively impacted our results of operations, and we expect further shortages will continue to have a negative impact on our sales. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results of operations and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including global supply chain constraints, inflation, tariffs, global conflicts and trade actions/disputes. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  While all significant accounting policies are important to our Consolidated Financial Statements, certain of these policies may be viewed as being critical.  Such policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The following are our most critical accounting estimates:

Revenue Recognition, Customer Programs and Variable Consideration
Revenue is recognized when control of a promised good is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for that good. This occurs either when finished goods are transferred to a common carrier for delivery to the customer or when product is picked up by the customer or the customer’s carrier.

Once a product has transferred to the common carrier or been picked up by the customer, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the product. It is at this point that we have a right to payment and the customer has legal title.

Provisions for certain rebates, customer promotional programs, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as variable consideration and recorded as a reduction in sales.

We record an estimate of future product returns, chargebacks and logistics deductions concurrent with recording sales, which is made using the most likely amount method that incorporates (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of our product offerings and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

We participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products. These promotional programs consist of direct-to-consumer incentives, such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as allowances for new distribution including slotting fees, and cooperative advertising. The costs of such activities are recorded as a reduction to revenue when the related sale takes place. Estimates of the costs of these promotional programs are derived using the most likely amount method, which incorporates (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current promotional offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
At March 31, 2026 and 2025, goodwill and intangible assets were apportioned among similar product groups within our operating segments as follows:

Intangible assets, net 2,209,986  85,364  2,295,350 
Total $ 2,708,922  $ 113,853  $ 2,822,775 

At March 31, 2026, the brands with the highest carrying value were Monistat, BC/Goody's, Summer's Eve, TheraTears and Fleet, comprising approximately 59% of our total intangible assets value.

Goodwill and intangible assets comprise the majority of all of our assets.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  Intangible assets generally represent our tradenames, brand names and patents.  When we acquire a brand, we are required to make judgments regarding the value assigned to the associated intangible assets, as well as their respective useful lives.  Management considers many factors both prior to and after the acquisition of an intangible asset in determining the value, as well as the useful life, assigned to each intangible asset that we acquire or continue to own and promote.

The most significant factors are:

•Brand History
A brand that has been in existence for a long period of time (e.g., 25, 50 or 100 years) generally warrants a higher valuation and longer life (sometimes indefinite) than a brand that has been in existence for a very short period of time.  A brand that has been in existence for an extended period of time generally has been the subject of considerable investment by its previous owner(s) to support product innovation and advertising and marketing.

•Market Position
Consumer products that rank number one or two in their respective market generally have greater name recognition and are known as quality product offerings, which warrant a higher valuation and longer life than products that lag in the marketplace.

•Recent and Projected Sales Growth
Recent sales results present a snapshot as to how the brand has performed in the most recent time periods and represent another factor in the determination of brand value. In addition, projected sales growth provides information about the strength and potential longevity of the brand.
36


A brand that has both strong current and projected sales generally warrants a higher valuation and a longer life than a brand that has weak or declining sales. Similarly, consideration is given to the potential investment, in the form of advertising and marketing, required to reinvigorate a brand that has fallen from favor.

•History of and Potential for Product Extensions
Consideration is given to the product innovation that has occurred during the brand’s history and the potential for continued product innovation that will determine the brand’s future.  Brands that can be continually enhanced by new product offerings generally warrant a higher valuation and longer life than a brand that has always “followed the leader.”

After consideration of the factors described above, as well as current economic conditions and changing consumer behavior, management prepares a determination of an intangible asset’s value and useful life based on its analysis.  Under accounting guidelines, goodwill is not amortized and must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below the carrying amount.  In a similar manner, indefinite-lived assets are not amortized.  They are also subject to an annual impairment test or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.  Additionally, at each reporting period an evaluation must be made to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.  Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and must also be tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

On an annual basis, during the fourth fiscal quarter, concurrent with our annual strategic planning process, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recovered, management performs a review of both the values and, if applicable, useful lives assigned to intangible assets and tests for impairment.

We report goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in two reportable segments: North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare. We identify our reporting units in accordance with the FASB ASC Subtopic 280. The carrying value and fair value for intangible assets and goodwill for a reporting unit are calculated based on key assumptions and valuation methodologies.  As a result, any material changes to these assumptions could require us to record additional impairment in the future.

We have experienced declines in revenues and profitability of certain brands in the North American OTC Healthcare segment, as discussed in "Results of Operations" below.  Sustained or significant future declines in revenue, profitability, other adverse changes in expected operating results and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values of certain brands could indicate that fair value no longer exceeds carrying value, in which case additional non-cash impairment charges may be recorded in future periods.

Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. As of February 28, 2026 (our annual impairment review date), we had 13 reporting units with goodwill. As part of our annual test for impairment of goodwill, management estimates the discounted cash flows of each reporting unit to estimate their respective fair values. In addition, we considered our market capitalization at February 28, 2026, as compared to the aggregate fair values of our reporting units, to assess the reasonableness of our estimates pursuant to the discounted cash flow methodology. An impairment charge is then recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, management considers current information and assumptions regarding future sales, gross margins and advertising and marketing expenses; the discount rate utilized in the analysis, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation. Future events, such as competition, changing consumer needs, technological advances and changes in advertising support for our trademarks and tradenames, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions. Additionally, should the related fair value of goodwill be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer needs or preferences, technological advances or changes in advertising and marketing expenses, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future.

At February 29, 2024, February 28, 2025 and February 28, 2026, in conjunction with the annual tests for goodwill impairment, which coincided with our annual strategic planning process, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all reporting units and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken in either period.

37


Our analysis at February 28, 2026 determined that all reporting units had a fair value that exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%. We performed a sensitivity analysis on our weighted average cost of capital, and we determined that a 50-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital would not have resulted in any of our reporting units' fair value being less than their carrying value. Additionally, a 50-basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each reporting unit would not have resulted in any of our reporting units' fair value being less than their carrying value.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. We utilize the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of our individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. The discount rate utilized in the analysis, as well as future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation.

At each reporting period, management analyzes current events and circumstances to determine whether the indefinite life classification for a trademark or tradename continues to be valid.  If circumstances warrant a change to a finite life, the carrying value of the intangible asset would then be amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life.

Management tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the intangible asset to its estimated fair value.  Since quoted market prices are seldom available for trademarks and tradenames such as ours, we utilize present value techniques to estimate fair value.  Accordingly, management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or tradename and estimate the cash flows over its useful life.  In a manner similar to goodwill, future events, such as competition, technological advances and changes in advertising support for our trademarks and tradenames, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.  Once that analysis is completed, a discount rate is applied to the cash flows to estimate fair value. In connection with this analysis, management:

•Reviews period-to-period sales and profitability by brand;
•Analyzes industry trends and projects brand growth rates;
•Prepares annual sales forecasts;
•Evaluates advertising effectiveness;
•Analyzes gross margins;
•Reviews contractual benefits or limitations;
•Monitors competitors’ advertising spend and product innovation;
•Prepares projections to measure brand viability over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset; and
•Considers the regulatory environment, as well as industry litigation.
At February 29, 2024, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all indefinite-lived intangible assets and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

As part of our annual impairment test conducted on February 28, 2025, we recognized impairment charges totaling $6.6 million. These charges pertain to non-strategic indefinite-lived intangible assets, reflecting a deliberate shift in sales toward other strategic brands within our portfolio. Of the $6.6 million impairment charge, $4.1 million was associated with our North American OTC Healthcare segment, while $2.4 million impacted our International OTC Healthcare segment.

At February 28, 2026, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all indefinite-lived intangible assets and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

Our analysis as of February 28, 2026 confirmed that all indefinite-lived intangible assets had a fair value exceeding their carrying value by at least 10%, with the exception of Monistat within our North American Women's Health reporting unit. We performed a sensitivity analysis of our weighted average cost of capital, and we determined that a 50-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital used to value all of our indefinite-lived intangible assets would have resulted in an impairment charge of $16.6 million. Additionally, a 50-basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets would not have resulted in any of our indefinite-lived intangible assets' fair value being less than their carrying value.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
On an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, management performs a review similar to indefinite-lived intangible assets to ascertain the impact of events and circumstances on the estimated useful lives and carrying values of our trademarks and tradenames.

38


If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of the intangible asset, management will reduce the estimated useful life and amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.  Management’s projections are utilized to assimilate all of the facts, circumstances and expectations related to the trademark or tradename and estimate the cash flows over its useful life.  Future events, such as competition, technological advances and changes in advertising support for our trademarks and tradenames, could cause subsequent evaluations to utilize different assumptions.  In the event that the long-term projections indicate that the carrying value is in excess of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible assets, management is required to record an impairment charge.   The impairment charge is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the intangible asset over its fair value.

At February 29, 2024, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of finite-lived intangible assets, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

Our analysis at February 28, 2025 concluded that the fair value of several non-strategic finite-lived intangible assets did not exceed their carrying values, and as such, impairment charges of $5.9 million were recorded. These charges relate to non-strategic finite-lived intangible assets, driven by a deliberate shift in sales toward other strategic brands within our portfolio. The impairments were predominantly associated with our North American OTC Healthcare segment.

At February 28, 2026, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of finite-lived intangible assets, there were no indicators of impairment under the analysis and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Compensation and Equity topic of the FASB ASC 718 requires us to measure the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award.  For most of our awards, compensation expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period. We also grant performance stock units, which are contingent on the attainment of certain goals of the Company.  Information utilized in the determination of fair value includes the following:

•Type of instrument (i.e., restricted shares, stock options or performance shares);
•Strike price of the instrument;
•Market price of our common stock on the date of grant;
•Discount rates;
•Duration of the instrument; and
•Volatility of our common stock in the public market.

Additionally, management must estimate the expected attrition rate of the recipients to enable it to estimate the amount of non-cash compensation expense to be recorded in our financial statements.  While management prepares various analyses to estimate the respective variables, a change in assumptions or market conditions, as well as changes in the anticipated or actual attrition rates, could have a significant impact on the future amounts recorded as non-cash compensation expense.

Total Consolidated $ 1,088,705  100.0  $ 1,137,762  100.0  $ (49,057) (4.3)

Total segment revenues for 2026 were $1,088.7 million, a decrease of $49.1 million, or 4.3%, versus 2025.

North American OTC Healthcare Segment
Revenues for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $46.4 million, or 4.8%, during 2026 versus 2025. The $46.4 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales in the Eye & Ear Care category, due to a limited ability to supply demand for Clear Eyes.

International OTC Healthcare Segment
Revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment decreased $2.6 million, or 1.5%, during 2026 versus 2025. The $2.6 million decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in sales in the Eye & Ear Care category, partly offset by an increase in sales in the Women's Health and Cough & Cold categories.

Gross Profit
The following table represents our gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of total segment revenues, by segment for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
(In thousands) Increase (Decrease)
Gross Profit 2026 % 2025 % Amount %
North American OTC Healthcare $ 500,877  54.8  $ 531,139  55.3  $ (30,262) (5.7)

  $ 595,578  54.7  $ 634,463  55.8  $ (38,885) (6.1)

Gross profit for 2026 decreased $38.9 million, or 6.1%, versus 2025. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit decreased to 54.7% in 2026 from 55.8% in 2025, primarily due to the decrease in revenue and costs related to the acquisition of our Canadian manufacturing facility.

North American OTC Healthcare Segment
Gross profit for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $30.3 million, or 5.7%, during 2026 versus 2025.  As a percentage of North American OTC Healthcare revenues, gross profit decreased to 54.8% during 2026 from 55.3% during 2025, primarily due to the decrease in revenue and costs related to the acquisition of our Canadian manufacturing facility.

International OTC Healthcare Segment
Gross profit for the International OTC Healthcare segment decreased $8.6 million, or 8.3%, during 2026 versus 2025. As a percentage of International OTC Healthcare revenues, gross profit decreased to 54.1% during 2026 from 58.1% during 2025, primarily due to increased inflation as well as channel and product mix.

Contribution Margin
Contribution margin is our segment measure of profitability. It is defined as gross profit less advertising and marketing expenses.

The following table represents our contribution margin and contribution margin as a percentage of total segment revenues, by segment for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
(In thousands) Increase (Decrease)
Contribution Margin 2026 % 2025 % Amount %
North American OTC Healthcare $ 380,030  41.6  $ 401,708  41.8  $ (21,678) (5.4)
International OTC Healthcare 66,766  38.1  77,032  43.3  (10,266) (13.3)
  $ 446,796  41.0  $ 478,740  42.1  $ (31,944) (6.7)

North American OTC Healthcare Segment
Contribution margin for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $21.7 million, or 5.4%, during 2026 versus 2025. As a percentage of North American OTC Healthcare revenues, contribution margin for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased to 41.6% during 2026 from 41.8% during 2025. The contribution margin decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit margin above, partly offset by a decrease in advertising and marketing spend.

International OTC Healthcare Segment
Contribution margin for the International OTC Healthcare segment decreased $10.3 million, or 13.3%, during 2026 versus 2025. As a percentage of International OTC Healthcare revenues, contribution margin for the International OTC Healthcare segment decreased to 38.1% during 2026 from 43.3% during 2025. The contribution margin decrease as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit margin noted above.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $116.4 million for 2026 versus $108.2 million for 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in compensation-related expenses, acquisition-related costs and an increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts pertaining to one specific customer.
41



Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $20.9 million for 2026 versus $21.3 million for 2025. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily related to a decrease in amortization expense due to impairment charges taken on certain finite-lived brands in fiscal 2025, as well as certain intangible assets being fully amortized during 2025.

Other Expense, Net
During fiscal 2026, we wrote off a supplier loan of $10.3 million, previously included in Accounts receivable, net.

Tradename Impairment
In 2025, our annual impairment test resulted in total impairment charges of $12.5 million. This included $6.6 million related to non-strategic indefinite-lived intangible assets and $5.9 million related to non-strategic finite-lived assets. The impairments primarily reflected the deliberate shift in sales toward other strategic brands within our portfolio. Of the total charges, $10.0 million pertains to our North American OTC Healthcare segment, while $2.5 million related to our International OTC Healthcare segment.

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was $42.3 million during 2026 versus $47.6 million during 2025.  The average cost of borrowing decreased to 4.5% for 2026 from 4.7% for 2025. The average indebtedness decreased to $1.0 billion during 2026 from $1.1 billion in 2025.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during 2026 was $67.2 million versus $69.6 million in 2025.  The effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 26.1% during 2026 versus 24.5% during 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to the mix of earnings in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions and establishing a taxable presence in a new state.

Results of Operations
2025 compared to 2024

For a discussion of fiscal 2025 compared to 2024, please refer to Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity
Our primary source of cash comes from our cash flow from operations. In the past, we have supplemented this source of cash with various debt facilities, primarily in connection with acquisitions. We have financed our operations, and expect to continue to finance our operations over the next twelve months, with a combination of funds generated from operations and borrowings. In connection with the recently announced expected acquisition of a portfolio of brands, including Breathe Right®, we expect to fund the transaction through a combination of a new term loan facility and cash on hand. Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions. Based on our current levels of operations and anticipated growth, excluding acquisitions, we believe that our cash generated from operations and our existing credit facilities will be adequate to finance our working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months, although no assurance can be given in this regard. See "Economic Environment" above with respect to current uncertainties facing us from a liquidity perspective.

2026 compared to 2025

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $257.6 million for 2026, compared to $251.5 million for 2025.  The $6.1 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due to the timing of working capital, partially offset by a decrease in net income before non-cash items.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $136.8 million for 2026, compared to $17.5 million for 2025.  The increase of $119.4 million in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to acquisitions during the current year.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $156.1 million for 2026, compared to $182.1 million for 2025. The decrease of $26.0 million in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in net debt repayments of $138.0 million, partly offset by an increase in the repurchase of shares of our common stock in conjunction with our share repurchase program of $104.8 million and a decrease in proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $10.5 million.

2025 compared to 2024

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $251.5 million for 2025, compared to $248.9 million for 2024.  The $2.6 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in net income before non-cash items, partly offset by increased working capital.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $17.5 million for 2025, compared to $20.1 million for 2024.  The decrease of $2.7 million in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $1.3 million and changes in a short-term loan receivable of $1.2 million.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $182.1 million for 2025, compared to $241.0 million for 2024. The decrease of $58.9 million was primarily due to a decrease in debt repayments of $90.0 million, partly offset by an increase in the repurchase of shares of our common stock in conjunction with our share repurchase program of $26.5 million and a decrease in proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $3.3 million.

Capital Resources

2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver:
On January 31, 2012, Prestige Brands, Inc. (the “Borrower") entered into a senior secured credit facility, which originally consisted of (i) a $660.0 million term loan with a 7-year maturity (the "2012 Term Loan") and (ii) a $50.0 million asset-based revolving line of credit with a 5-year maturity (the "2012 ABL Revolver"). In subsequent years, we have utilized portions of our accordion feature to increase the amount of our borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver to the current amount of $200.0 million, reduced our borrowing rate on the 2012 ABL Revolver and made several other changes to the 2012 ABL Revolver. We have also amended the 2012 Term Loan several times.

On June 12, 2023, we entered Amendment No. 7 to the 2012 Term Loan ("Term Loan Amendment No. 7"), effective July 1, 2023. Term Loan Amendment No. 7 provided for the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as our reference rate for the 2012 Term Loan.
On April 4, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 8 ("ABL Amendment No. 8") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 8 provides for the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as our reference rate for the 2012 ABL Revolver.
On December 8, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 9 ("ABL Amendment No. 9") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 9 provides for (i) an increase in the aggregate revolving commitment of the facility from $175.0 million to $200.0 million, (ii) an extension of the maturity date of the 2012 ABL Revolver to December 8, 2028 and (iii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver, including increased flexibility related to restricted payments, debt incurrence and borrowing base calculations. There were no changes to interest terms as a result of this amendment.

2019 Senior Notes:
On December 2, 2019, the Borrower issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due January 15, 2028 (the "2019 Senior Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated December 2, 2019, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto (including the Company) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. We used the net proceeds from the 2019 Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all $400.0 million of our then-outstanding senior notes issued on December 17, 2013 that were due in 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses.

2021 Senior Notes:
On March 1, 2021, the Borrower issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% senior notes due April 1, 2031 (the "2021 Senior Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated March 1, 2021, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto (including the Company) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. We used the net proceeds from the 2021 Senior Notes to redeem all $600.0 million of our then-outstanding 2016 senior notes issued on February 19, 2016 and March 21, 2018, which were due in 2024, and to pay related fees and expenses.

Interest, Redemptions and Restrictions:

During fiscal 2025, we repaid the balance of our 2012 Term Loan and terminated all related commitments. For the year ended March 31, 2025, during the period it was outstanding, the average interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 7.1%. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the average interest rate on amounts borrowed under the 2012 ABL Revolver was 3.9%. There were no borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver at any time during 2025.

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2019 Senior Notes at any time on or after January 15, 2023 at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2019 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2019 Senior Notes), the Borrower will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2019 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Senior Notes at any time on or after April 1, 2026 at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes), the Borrower will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2021 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes contain provisions that restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, such as asset dispositions, acquisitions, dividend payments, repurchases of common shares outstanding, changes of control, incurrences of indebtedness, issuance of equity, creation of liens, making of loans and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain indebtedness will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness under the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes.

As of March 31, 2026, we had an aggregate of $1.0 billion of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:

•$400.0 million of 5.125% 2019 Senior Notes due January 15, 2028; and
•$600.0 million of 3.750% 2021 Senior Notes due April 1, 2031.

As of March 31, 2026, we had no balance outstanding on the 2012 ABL Revolver and a borrowing capacity of $182.9 million.

Debt Covenants
Our debt facilities contain various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain fixed charge ratios.  Specifically, we must:

•Have a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.0 to 1.0 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA minus capital expenditures to our trailing twelve months consolidated interest paid, taxes paid and other specified payments). Our fixed charge requirement remains level throughout the term of the credit agreement.

44


At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive covenants under the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes. Additionally, management anticipates that in the normal course of operations, we will continue to be in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants during fiscal 2027.

Commitments

Ongoing commitments under various contractual and commercial obligations have not materially changed since our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, purchased product, labor costs, transportation costs, tariffs and overhead may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.  Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the three most recent fiscal years, supply and labor disruptions may have an inflationary impact on our costs and a high rate of inflation in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  More volatility in crude oil prices may have an adverse impact on transportation costs, as well as certain petroleum based raw materials and packaging material.  Although we make efforts to minimize the impact of inflationary factors, including by raising prices to our customers, a high rate of pricing volatility associated with crude oil supplies or other raw materials used in our products may have an adverse effect on our operating results.
  
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk because our 2012 ABL Revolver is variable rate debt.  At March 31, 2026, the 2012 ABL had a zero balance and therefore none of our debt carried a variable rate of interest at March 31, 2026.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately 16.1% and 15.7%, respectively, of our net revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we are exposed to transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates, including insignificant foreign currency forward exchange agreements. These transactions are primarily with respect to the Canadian and Australian Dollar.

We performed a sensitivity analysis with respect to exchange rates for the year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Holding all other variables constant, and assuming a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, this analysis resulted in a 1.5% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $4.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2026 and a 3.7% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $10.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act).  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives will be met.  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 and procedures may deteriorate over time.

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026.  In making its evaluation, management has used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

Based on management's assessment utilizing the 2013 Framework, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2026.

On December 18, 2025, the Company acquired Pillar5 Pharma Inc. ("Pillar5"). The Company has excluded Pillar5's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 from its assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Pillar5 is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent approximately 2.0% and 0.2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, which appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Pillar5 Pharma Inc. (“Pillar5”) from its assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2026. We have also excluded Pillar5 from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Pillar5 is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent approximately 2% and 0.2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
47


A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Indefinite-Lived Tradename Impairment Assessments – Summer’s Eve and Monistat

As described in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated indefinite-lived tradenames, net balance was $2,144 million as of March 31, 2026, of which a portion relates to the carrying values for Summer’s Eve and Monistat indefinite-lived tradenames. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the individual asset level at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Management utilized the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assumptions subject to significant uncertainties include the discount rate, as well as future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the indefinite-lived tradename impairment assessments of the Summer’s Eve and Monistat tradenames is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the Summer’s Eve and Monistat indefinite-lived tradenames; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the discount rate, future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s indefinite-lived tradename impairment assessments, including controls over the valuation of the Summer’s Eve and Monistat indefinite-lived tradenames. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the Summer’s Eve and Monistat indefinite-lived tradenames; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the excess earnings method used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the excess earnings method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the discount rate, future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the brands; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment – North American Women’s Health Reporting Unit

As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $581.1 million as of March 31, 2026, of which a significant portion relates to the carrying value for the North American Women’s Health reporting unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Goodwill is not amortized, although the carrying value is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
48


An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Management utilized the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. The estimates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of the reporting units are subject to significant uncertainties related to future sales, gross margins, advertising and marketing expenses, and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the North American Women’s Health reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the North American Women’s Health reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to future sales, gross margin, advertising and marketing expenses, and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the North American Women’s Health reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the North American Women’s Health reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to future sales, gross margin, advertising and marketing expenses, and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to future sales, gross margin, and advertising and marketing expenses involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the North American Women’s Health reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business
Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “we”, which reference shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and all of its direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare products to mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets.  Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior credit facility and the senior notes described in Note 10 to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including evolving fiscal policy, global supply chain constraints, changes in interest rates, a high inflationary environment, geopolitical events, including conflicts in the Middle East, and evolving U.S. and international trade restrictions and tariffs. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our consumers, including a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online, and have and may continue to see changes in retailer purchasing patterns due to these consumer patterns and the volatile economic environment.

The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. We have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. We and our manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of some of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages have negatively impacted our results of operations, and we expect further shortages will continue to have a negative impact on our sales. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results of operations and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including global supply chain constraints, inflation, tariffs, global conflicts and trade actions/disputes. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Basis of Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Our fiscal year ends on March 31st of each year.  References in these Consolidated Financial Statements or notes to a year (e.g., “2026”) mean our fiscal year ended on March 31st of that year.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.  As discussed below, our most significant estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, fair value of debt, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances, inventory obsolescence and accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions.

We consider all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At March 31, 2026, approximately 18% of our cash is held by a bank in Australia and approximately 4% is held by a bank in Singapore. Substantially all of our remaining cash is held by a large U.S. domestic bank.  We do not believe that, as a result of this concentration, we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Substantially all of the Company's cash balances at March 31, 2026 are uninsured.

Accounts Receivable
We extend non-interest-bearing trade credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business.  We maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable.  In an effort to reduce credit risk, we (i) have established credit limits for all of our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of customers’ receivables and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual customer’s outstanding receivable balance.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method.  We reduce inventories for the diminution in value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value.  Factors utilized in the determination of estimated net realizable value include (i) product expiration dates, (ii) current sales data and historical return rates, (iii) estimates of future demand, (iv) competitive pricing pressures, (v) new product introductions and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
  Years
Building
5 to 40
Machinery
1 to 15
Computer equipment and software
1 to 6
Furniture and fixtures
6 to 10
Leasehold improvements *
*Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, we remove the cost and associated accumulated depreciation from the respective accounts and recognize the resulting gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
 
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations is classified as goodwill.  Goodwill is not amortized, although the carrying value is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets generally represent tradenames, brand names and patents and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  For intangible assets with finite lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, typically ranging from 10 to 24 years.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the individual asset level at least annually in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.  Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may exceed their fair values and may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
55



Debt Origination Costs
We have incurred debt origination costs in connection with the issuance of long-term debt.  These costs are amortized over the term of the related debt, using the effective interest method for our senior notes and our term loan facility and the straight-line method for our revolving credit facility. Costs associated with our revolving credit facility are reported as a long-term asset and costs related to our senior notes and the term loan facility are recorded as a reduction of debt.
Revenue Recognition
Nature of Goods and Services
We recognize revenue from product sales. We primarily ship finished goods to our customers and operate in two segments: North American OTC Healthcare and International OTC Healthcare. The segments are based on differences in geographical area. The North American and International OTC Healthcare segments market a variety of personal care and OTC healthcare products in the following product groups: Analgesics, Cough & Cold, Women's Health, Gastrointestinal, Eye & Ear Care, Dermatologicals and Oral Care. Our products are distinct and separately identifiable on customer contracts or invoices, with each product sale representing a separate performance obligation.

We sell consumer products under a variety of brands through a broad distribution platform that includes mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels, all of which sell our products to consumers.

See Note 19 for disaggregated revenue information.

Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, revenue is recognized when control of a promised good is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for that good. This occurs either when finished goods are transferred to a common carrier for delivery to the customer or when product is picked up by the customer or the customer’s carrier.

Once a product has transferred to the common carrier or been picked up by the customer, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the product. It is at this point that we have a right to payment and the customer has legal title.

Variable Consideration
Provisions for certain rebates, customer promotional programs, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as variable consideration and recorded as a reduction in sales.

We record an estimate of future product returns, chargebacks and logistics deductions concurrent with recording sales, which is made using the most likely amount method, which incorporates (i) historical return rates, (ii) current economic trends, (iii) changes in customer demand, (iv) product acceptance, (v) seasonality of our product offerings and (vi) the impact of changes in product formulation, packaging and advertising.

We participate in the promotional programs of our customers to enhance the sale of our products. These promotional programs consist of direct-to-consumer incentives, such as coupons and temporary price reductions, as well as incentives to our customers, such as allowances for new distribution including slotting fees, and cooperative advertising. The costs of such activities are recorded as a reduction to revenue when the related sale takes place. Estimates of the costs of these promotional programs are derived using the most likely amount method, which incorporates (i) historical sales experience, (ii) the current promotional offering, (iii) forecasted data, (iv) current market conditions and (v) communication with customer purchasing/marketing personnel. At the completion of the promotional program, the estimated amounts are adjusted to actual results.

Practical Expedients
Due to the nature (short duration) of our contracts with customers, we apply the practical expedient related to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, in which we have the right to invoice the customer at the time the performance obligation is satisfied for the amount of revenue recognized at that time. Accordingly, we have elected the practical expedient available under ASC 606 not to disclose remaining performance obligations for our contracts. The period between when control of the promised products transfers to the customer and when the customer pays for the products is one year or less. As such, we do not adjust product consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. The amortization period of any asset resulting from incremental costs of obtaining a contract would be one year or less.

56


We expense incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (broker commissions) when the related sale takes place.

We account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities and therefore recognize them upon shipment of goods.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes costs related to the manufacturing of our products, including raw materials, direct labor and indirect plant costs (including depreciation), warehousing costs, inbound and outbound shipping costs and handling and storage costs.  Warehousing, shipping and handling and storage costs were $68.3 million for 2026, $62.3 million for 2025 and $68.3 million for 2024.

Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.  Allowances for distribution costs associated with products, including slotting fees, are recognized as a reduction of sales.  

Stock-based Compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation expense by measuring the cost of services to be rendered based on the grant-date fair value of the equity award.  Compensation expense is recognized over the period a grantee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally referred to as the requisite service period.

Pension Expense
Certain employees of our Lynchburg manufacturing facility are covered by an unfunded non-qualified pension plan.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Income Taxes topic of the FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. As a result, we have applied such guidance in determining our tax uncertainties.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  

We classify penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, which includes stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs, are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent that they are dilutive. In loss periods, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and RSUs has an antidilutive effect, and therefore these instruments are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
57


Year Ended March 31,
 (In thousands, except per share data) 2026 2025 2024
Numerator      
Net income $ 190,301  $ 214,605  $ 209,339 
Denominator      
Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding 48,456  49,697  49,757 
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock units and options issued to employees and directors 264  383  421 
Denominator for diluted earnings per share 48,720  50,080  50,178 
Earnings per Common Share:      
Basic net earnings per share $ 3.93  $ 4.32  $ 4.21 
Diluted net earnings per share $ 3.91  $ 4.29  $ 4.17 

For 2026, 2025 and 2024 there were 0.2 million, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Leases
We lease real estate and equipment for use in our operations. These leases have lease terms of 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to terminate or extend leases for up to 1 to 8 years or on a month-to-month basis. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion and our lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities reflect only the options we are reasonably certain that we will exercise.

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether we have the right to control the identified asset. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable.

Variable lease payments that do not vary based on an index or rate are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability determination. Variable lease payments are typically usage-based and are recorded in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As the implicit rate in our leases is unknown, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption for existing leases and at the lease commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of future lease payments. We give consideration to our credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjust for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Rent expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For the measurement and classification of our lease agreements, we group lease and non-lease components into a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. We have also elected to exclude any leases within our existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require that entities disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update also require disclosure, on an annual basis, of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid are equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. In addition, the amendments in this update also require that income before income taxes be disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense be disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this standard prospectively for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The adoption of this ASU is reflected in our income tax disclosures in Note 15.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. Required disclosures include, among other things, the amount of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, entities will be required to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, their definition of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact that this ASU may have on our Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.

2.    Acquisition

Pillar5

On December 18, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Pillar5, which was funded through a combination of cash on hand and our existing asset-based revolving credit facility.

Based in Arnprior Ontario, Canada, Pillar5 is a leading sterile ophthalmic manufacturer and was one of our Clear Eyes suppliers.

This acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the Business Combinations topic of the FASB ASC 805, which requires that the total cost of an acquisition be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.

We prepared a preliminary analysis of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes our preliminary allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 18, 2025.  During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded measurement period adjustments to the provisional fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Pillar5 acquisition. These adjustments were based on new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The net impact of these changes was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. This allocation continues to be provisional and reflects the information available to management as of the reporting date. The final allocation may differ materially from the amounts presented below as we complete our valuation procedures, primarily related to finalizing our assessment of identifiable assets.

Other accrued liabilities 3,254 
Long-term operating lease liabilities, net of current portion 3,410 
Total liabilities assumed 11,245 
Net assets acquired $ 109,895 

We recorded goodwill of $52.8 million based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.

(a) On January 8, 2024, our Australian subsidiary acquired one of its suppliers. In connection with this acquisition, we preliminarily allocated $0.6 million to goodwill in fiscal 2024 and made an adjustment of $0.3 million to the preliminary amount in fiscal 2025.
(b) As discussed in Note 2, on December 18, 2025, we acquired Pillar5, one of our Clear Eyes suppliers. In connection with this acquisition, we preliminarily allocated $52.8 million to goodwill.
At February 29, 2024, February 28, 2025, and February 28, 2026, in conjunction with the annual tests for goodwill impairment, which coincided with our annual strategic planning process, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all reporting units and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken in either period.

We identify our reporting units in accordance with the FASB ASC Subtopic 280. The carrying value and fair value for intangible assets and goodwill for a reporting unit are calculated based on key assumptions and valuation methodologies. The discounted cash flow methodology is a widely accepted valuation technique utilized by market participants in the transaction evaluation process and has been applied consistently.  We also considered our market capitalization at February 28, 2026, February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, as compared to the aggregate fair values of our reporting units, to assess the reasonableness of our estimates pursuant to the discounted cash flow methodology.  The estimates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties related to future sales, gross margins and advertising and marketing expenses, which can be impacted by increases in competition, changing consumer preferences, technical advances, supply chain constraints, labor shortages and inflation. The discount rate assumption may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation, which can have an impact on the determination of fair value. If these assumptions are adversely affected, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future.

Our analysis at February 28, 2026 determined that all reporting units had a fair value that exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%. We performed a sensitivity analysis on our weighted average cost of capital, and we determined that a 50-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital would not have resulted in any of our reporting units' fair value being less than their carrying value. Additionally, a 50-basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each reporting unit would not have resulted in any of our reporting units' fair value being less than their carrying value.

(b) In connection with our annual impairment test at February 28, 2025, certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were moved to finite-lived to better reflect our long-term projections for these brands.

During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, in conjunction with our strategic planning process, we perform our annual impairment analysis for intangible assets. We utilized the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of our individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assumptions subject to significant uncertainties in the analysis include the discount rate, as well as future sales, gross margins and advertising and marketing expenses. The discount rate assumption may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation, which can have an impact on the determination of fair value. Additionally, should the related fair values of intangible assets be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer needs or preferences, technological advances, changes in advertising and marketing expenses, or the potential impacts of supply chain constraints, labor shortages, or inflation, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future.

At February 29, 2024, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all intangible assets and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

As part of our annual impairment test conducted on February 28, 2025, we recognized impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets totaling $6.6 million. These charges pertain to non-strategic indefinite-lived intangible assets, reflecting a deliberate shift in sales toward other strategic brands within our portfolio. Of the $6.6 million impairment, $4.1 million was associated with our North American OTC Healthcare segment, while $2.4 million impacted our International OTC Healthcare segment.

At February 28, 2026, in conjunction with the annual test for impairment of intangible assets, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all intangible assets and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken.

Our analysis as of February 28, 2026 confirmed that all indefinite-lived intangible assets had a fair value exceeding their carrying value by at least 10%, with the exception of Monistat within our North American Women's Health reporting unit. We performed a sensitivity analysis of our weighted average cost of capital, and we determined that a 50-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital used to value all of our indefinite-lived intangible assets would have resulted in an impairment charge of $16.6 million.

Additionally, a 50-basis point decrease in the terminal growth rate used for each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets would have not have resulted in any of our indefinite-lived intangible assets' fair value being less than their carrying value.

The weighted average remaining life for finite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2026 was approximately 9.0 years, and the amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2026 was $17.9 million. At March 31, 2026, finite-lived intangible assets are expected to be amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from a period of 10 to 24 years, and the estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years and periods thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

At March 31, 2026, we had no balance outstanding on the 2012 ABL Revolver and a borrowing capacity of $182.9 million.
2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver:
On January 31, 2012, Prestige Brands, Inc. (the “Borrower") entered into a senior secured credit facility, which originally consisted of (i) a $660.0 million term loan with a 7-year maturity (the "2012 Term Loan") and (ii) a $50.0 million asset-based revolving line of credit with a 5-year maturity (the "2012 ABL Revolver"). In subsequent years, we have utilized portions of our accordion feature to increase the amount of our borrowing capacity under the 2012 ABL Revolver to the current amount of $200.0 million, reduced our borrowing rate on the 2012 ABL Revolver and made several other changes to the 2012 ABL Revolver.
66


We have also amended the 2012 Term Loan several times.

On June 12, 2023, we entered Amendment No. 7 to the 2012 Term Loan ("Term Loan Amendment No. 7"), effective July 1, 2023. Term Loan Amendment No. 7 provided for the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as our reference rate for the 2012 Term Loan.

On April 4, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 8 ("ABL Amendment No. 8") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 8 provides for the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as our reference rate for the 2012 ABL Revolver.
On December 8, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 9 ("ABL Amendment No. 9") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 9 provides for (i) an increase in the aggregate revolving commitment of the facility from $175.0 million to $200.0 million, (ii) an extension of the maturity date of the 2012 ABL Revolver to December 8, 2028 and (iii) increased flexibility under the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver, including increased flexibility related to restricted payments, debt incurrence and borrowing base calculations. There were no changes to interest terms as a result of this amendment.

2019 Senior Notes:
On December 2, 2019, the Borrower issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due January 15, 2028 (the "2019 Senior Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated December 2, 2019, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto (including the Company) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. We used the net proceeds from the 2019 Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all $400.0 million of our then-outstanding senior notes issued on December 17, 2013 that were due in 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses.

2021 Senior Notes:
On March 1, 2021, the Borrower issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% senior notes due April 1, 2031 (the "2021 Senior Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated March 1, 2021, among the Borrower, the guarantors party thereto (including the Company) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. We used the net proceeds from the 2021 Senior Notes to redeem all $600.0 million of our then-outstanding 2016 senior notes issued on February 19, 2016 and March 21, 2018, which were due in 2024, and to pay related fees and expenses.
Interest, Redemptions and Restrictions:
During fiscal 2025, we repaid the balance of our 2012 Term Loan and terminated all related commitments. For the year ended March 31, 2025, during the period it was outstanding, the average interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 7.1%. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the average interest rate on amounts borrowed under the 2012 ABL Revolver was 3.9%. There were no borrowings under the 2012 ABL Revolver at any time during 2025.

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2019 Senior Notes at any time on or after January 15, 2023 at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2019 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2019 Senior Notes), the Borrower will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2019 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Senior Notes at any time on or after April 1, 2026 at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes), the Borrower will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2021 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

The credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes contain provisions that restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, such as asset dispositions, acquisitions, dividend payments, repurchases of common shares outstanding, changes of control, incurrences of indebtedness, issuance of equity, creation of liens, making of loans and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain indebtedness will cause a default on the remaining indebtedness under the credit agreement governing the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes. At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants under our long-term indebtedness.

11.     Fair Value Measurements

For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short maturity of these amounts.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC 820 requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market assuming an orderly transaction between market participants. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value, to be followed by the Company's assumptions of fair value based on hypothetical transactions (unobservable inputs) in the absence of observable market inputs. Based upon the above, the following fair value hierarchy was created:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not considered active; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.

The market values have been determined based on market values for similar instruments adjusted for certain factors. As such, the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes are measured in Level 2 of the above hierarchy (see summary below detailing the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these instruments at March 31, 2026 and 2025).

March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025
(In thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
2019 Senior Notes $ 400,000  $ 399,000  $ 400,000  $ 392,000 
2021 Senior Notes 600,000  550,500  600,000  537,750 

At March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured in Level 1 or 3. During 2026, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2 and 3.

12.     Stockholders' Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 250.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.  The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and determine preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof.

Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends.  No dividends have been declared or paid on the Company's common stock through March 31, 2026.

13.     Share-Based Compensation

In connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provided for grants of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards. In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved, and in July 2014, our stockholders ratified, an increase of an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2005 Plan, an increase of the maximum number of shares subject to stock options that could be awarded to any one participant under the 2005 Plan during any fiscal 12-month period from 1.0 million to 2.5 million shares, and an extension of the term of the 2005 Plan by ten years to February 2025.  Directors, officers and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing services for the Company, were eligible for grants under the 2005 Plan.  

On June 23, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective on August 4, 2020, upon the approval of the 2020 Plan by our stockholders. On June 23, 2020, a total of 2,827,210 shares were available for issuance under the 2020 Plan (comprised of 2,000,000 new shares plus 827,210 shares that were unissued under the 2005 Plan). All future equity awards will be made from the 2020 Plan, and the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2005 Plan.

The following table provides information regarding our stock-based compensation:

Tax benefits realized from tax deductions resulting from RSU issuances and stock option exercises $ 1,074  $ 2,273  $ 2,161 

At March 31, 2026, there were $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options under the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur.  We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. At March 31, 2026, there were $11.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs and performance-based stock units ("PSUs") under the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures that may occur. We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

At March 31, 2026, there were 1.4 million shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

69


RSUs granted to employees under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan generally vest in three years, primarily upon the attainment of certain time vesting thresholds, and, in the case of PSUs, are also contingent on the attainment of certain performance goals of the Company, including revenue and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization targets.  The RSUs provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined in the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan.  The RSUs granted to employees generally vest either ratably over three years or in their entirety on the three-year anniversary of the date of the grant. Upon vesting, the units will be settled in shares of our common stock. Termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the RSUs, unless otherwise accelerated by the Compensation Committee or, in the case of RSUs granted in May 2017 and later, subject to pro-rata vesting in the event of death, disability or retirement. The RSUs granted to directors prior to fiscal 2020 vest immediately upon grant and will be settled by delivery to the director of one share of our common stock for each vested RSU promptly following the earliest of (i) the director's death, (ii) the director's disability or (iii) the six-month anniversary of the date on which the director's Board membership ceases for reasons other than death or disability. The RSUs granted to directors in fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2022 vest immediately upon grant and will be settled by delivery to the director of one share of our common stock for each vested RSU promptly following the earliest of (i) the director's death, (ii) the director's separation from service or (iii) a change in control of the Company. The RSUs granted to directors in fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2026 fully vest one year after receipt of the award, subject to the continued service of the director on such vesting date and will be settled by delivery to each director of one share of our common stock for each vested RSU either (a) at the election of the director prior to the grant date, immediately upon vesting, or (b) promptly following the earliest of (i) such director's death, (ii) such director's separation from service or (iii) a change in control of the Company.

The fair value of the RSUs is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

Options
The 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan provide that the exercise price of options granted shall be no less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the options are granted.  Options granted have a term of no greater than ten years from the date of grant and vest in accordance with a schedule determined at the time the option is granted, generally three years.  The option awards provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan. Except in the case of death, disability or retirement, termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the unvested stock options. Vested stock options will remain exercisable by the employee after termination of employment, subject to the terms in the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock and other factors, including the historical volatilities of comparable companies.  We use appropriate historical data, as well as current data, to estimate option exercise and employee termination behaviors.  Employees that are expected to exhibit similar exercise or termination behaviors are grouped together for the purposes of valuation.  The expected terms of the options granted are derived from our historical experience, management’s estimates and consideration of information derived from the public filings of companies similar to us, and represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate represents the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the granted options.

Recent U.S. tax legislation
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. We did not incur any material interest or penalties related to income taxes in 2026, 2025 or 2024. We are subject to taxation in the United States and various state and foreign jurisdictions, and we are generally open to examination from the year ended March 31, 2022 forward. We are currently under audit with the California state taxing authority for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024.

We have made the assessment that the undistributed after-tax earnings from our foreign subsidiaries through March 31, 2026 were not indefinitely reinvested and can be remitted to the U.S. parent in a tax-neutral transaction under either the subsidiary countries' relevant income tax treaties or their internal tax law. Accordingly, we have not recorded a deferred tax liability related to these undistributed earnings.

16.     Employee Retirement Plans

We have a defined contribution plan in which all U.S. full-time employees are eligible to participate. The participants may contribute from 1% to 70% of their compensation, as defined in the plan. We match 100% of the first 3%, plus 50% of the next 3%, of each participant's base compensation with full vesting immediately. We may also make additional contributions to the plan as determined by the Board of Directors. The total expense for the defined contribution plan was $2.1 million, $2.0 million and $2.0 million for 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Pillar5 in December 2025, certain eligible employees in Canada participate in a defined contribution pension plan. The Company’s obligation under this plan is limited to specified employer contributions in accordance with the plan’s terms. 

Certain employees of our Lynchburg manufacturing facility are covered by an unfunded non-qualified plan.

17.     Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business. We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability and amount of potential loss. These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted. The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.
78


In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement). We believe the resolution of routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business, taking our reserves into account, will not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.

Lease Commitments

18.     Concentrations of Risk

Our revenues are concentrated in the area of OTC Healthcare.  We sell our products to mass merchandisers, drug/drug wholesale, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels.  During 2026, 2025 and 2024, approximately 38%, 37% and 38%, respectively, of our gross revenues were derived from our five top selling brands.  Two customers, Walmart and Amazon, accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2026. During 2026, 2025 and 2024, Walmart accounted for approximately 20%, 19% and 20%, respectively, of our gross revenues. During 2026, 2025 and 2024, Amazon accounted for approximately 15%, 14%, and 11% respectively, of our gross revenues. At March 31, 2026, approximately 18% of our accounts receivable were owed by Walmart and Amazon.

Our product distribution in the United States is managed by a third-party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana. We also operate three manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada and Australia which manufacture products representing 21% of our gross revenues. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire at our distribution center or our own or a third-party manufacturing facility could damage our inventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. In addition, a serious disruption caused by performance or contractual issues with our third-party distribution manager, or labor shortages or contagious disease outbreaks or other public health emergencies at our distribution center or manufacturing facilities could also materially impact our product distribution. Any disruption could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could harm our reputation and cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times should we be required to replace our distribution center, the third-party distribution manager or the manufacturing facilities. As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

At March 31, 2026, we had relationships with 95 third-party manufacturers.  Of those, we had long-term contracts with 18 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 60% of gross sales for 2026, compared to 16 manufacturers with long-term contracts that accounted for approximately 58% of gross sales in 2025.  One of our suppliers, a privately owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, produced products that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2026, 2025 and 2024. This manufacturer accounted for approximately 21% of our gross revenues in each of 2026 and 2025 and 20% of our gross revenues in 2024, while we accounted for a significant portion of their gross revenues over that time period. No other single third-party supplier produces products that account for 10% or more of our gross revenues.  The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are continually in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

20.    Subsequent Event

Share Based Compensation
On May 4, 2026, the Compensation Committee granted 101,022 PSUs, 94,112 time-based RSUs and stock options to acquire 179,093 shares of our common stock to certain executive officers and employees under the 2020 Plan. PSUs are earned based on achievement of the performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee and, if earned, vest in their entirety on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant. Time-based RSUs vest either 33.3% per year over three years or in their entirety on the three-year or four-year anniversary of the date of grant. Upon vesting, both PSUs and RSUs will be settled in shares of our common stock. Executives of the Company may elect to defer settlement of a self-defined percentage of vested shares to a specified date or six months after the executive is separated from service to the Company or on a change in control of the Company. The stock options will vest 33.3% per year over three years and are exercisable for up to ten years from the date of grant. These stock options were granted at an exercise price of $55.31 per share, which is equal to the closing price for our common stock on the date of the grant. Except in cases of death, disability or retirement, termination of employment prior to vesting will result in forfeiture of the unvested PSUs, RSUs and the stock options. Vested stock options will remain exercisable by the employee after termination, subject to the terms of the 2020 Plan.

Acquisition of LaCorium Health
We have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire LaCorium Health ("LaCorium") for approximately $150.0 million. The transaction, subject to customary conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Founded in Australia and introduced in 1998, LaCorium is a leader in Australian therapeutic skin care designed to treat individual skin ailments. Products are sold under the Dermal Therapy®, Flexitol®, and Crampeze® brands in need-state categories such as lip care (cold sores), skin care (eczema & acne), foot care (heel balm, antifungal), hair & scalp (eczema), and more. Globally, products are sold in approximately 20 countries across North America, Asia, and the Middle East, under the Flexitol® and Crampeze® brand names.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2026.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits 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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The report of management on our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 and the attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our internal control over financial reporting are set forth in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" beginning on page 46 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have excluded Pillar5 from our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, because (i) Pillar5 was acquired by us during the third quarter of 2026 and (ii) Pillar5 is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenue represent approximately 2.0% and 0.2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of the year ended March 31, 2026. We are currently in the process of evaluating Pillar5's historical internal control over financial reporting structure with ours. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the text of this Agreement or in Section 9.1. Each of Buyer and Seller are collectively referred to from time to time herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, Seller, directly and indirectly through certain of its Affiliates, owns, licenses or otherwise holds certain rights to manufacture, promote, market, distribute and/or sell the products in the corresponding territories set forth on Section 2.22 of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Products” and such business, the “Business”); and
WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell (or cause to be sold), and Buyer desires to purchase or cause certain of its Affiliates to purchase, certain assets related to the Business and Buyer is willing to assume or cause certain of its Affiliates to assume certain liabilities related to the Business, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:
Article 1

SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS, ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES
1.Sale and Purchase.
(a)Transferred Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, Seller will, and will cause the Selling Affiliates to, sell, convey, assign and transfer to Buyer or one of its Affiliates, and Buyer or one of its Affiliates will purchase, acquire and accept, as a going concern, the Transferred Assets, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.
(b)Excluded Assets. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Buyer is not purchasing pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby any right, title or interest in any Excluded Asset.
(c)Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, Buyer shall assume or cause certain of its Affiliates to assume the Assumed Liabilities and shall pay, satisfy and discharge as and when due the Assumed Liabilities.
(d)Excluded Liabilities. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall assume or be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Excluded Liability. Seller and/or its Affiliates, as the case may be, will remain liable to pay, perform and discharge when due all Excluded Liabilities.
(e)Business Transfer Documents. To the extent required under applicable Law or as reasonably deemed necessary by either of the parties hereto, to effect the transactions contemplated hereunder, the parties shall execute and deliver, or cause their respective Affiliates to execute and deliver, such asset and/or business transfer agreements, bills of sale, deeds, assignments, assumptions and other documents and instruments of sale, conveyance, assignment, novation, transfer and assumption (the “Business Transfer Documents”) as are necessary to effect any transfer of the Transferred Assets at the Closing or such other time for transfer as contemplated by Section 1.1(g) or Section 4.5 below or any assumption of the Assumed Liabilities at the Closing. The Business Transfer Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably agreed to by the parties and as is usual and customary in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that the parties agree and acknowledge that the Business Transfer Documents are intended solely to formalize the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to comply with any applicable Law and shall be, in all respects, consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; it being understood, that as of the date hereof, the only Business Transfer Documents are the Bill of Sale, the Trademark Assignment, the Patent Assignment Agreement and the Copyright Assignment Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Business Transfer Document, this Agreement shall control.
1



(f)Designation of Affiliates; Performance of Obligations by Affiliates. To the extent that any of the Transferred Assets are under the control of any of Seller’s Affiliates, Seller shall cause such Affiliates to promptly take such legal action as may be necessary to consummate the transfer to Buyer of such Transferred Assets under terms and conditions which are consistent with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any obligation of Seller under or pursuant to this Agreement may be satisfied, met or fulfilled, in whole or in part, at Seller’s sole and exclusive option, either by Seller directly, or by any Affiliate of Seller that Seller causes to satisfy, meet or fulfill such obligation, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.1(f) shall not be construed to relieve Seller from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(g)Transferred Assets Subject to Third-Party Consent. To the extent that the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer or attempted sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer to Buyer of any Transferred Asset is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any governmental or third-party consent, authorization, approval or waiver and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer thereof. Unless otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, from and after the Closing until the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the Closing and (ii) the date such consent, authorization, approval or waiver is obtained, Seller and Buyer shall, enter into an arrangement whereby Buyer or its applicable Affiliates are provided the rights, benefits and obligations of such Transferred Asset, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs and amounts incurred by Seller or any Selling Affiliate in connection with such arrangement, which arrangement may include Seller or a Selling Affiliate using Inventory purchased by Buyer hereunder to satisfy obligations of Seller or a Selling Affiliate under existing Contracts; provided, that no such actions shall be required if such action would violate any Law or the terms of any Contract. If such consent, authorization, approval or waiver is obtained following the Closing, Seller shall or shall cause the Selling Affiliates to promptly assign, convey and transfer any such Transferred Asset to Buyer at no additional cost. If such consent, authorization, approval or waiver is not obtained, under no circumstances shall the Purchase Price be reduced or Seller or its Affiliates be subject to any liability on account of the failure to obtain any such consent, authorization, approval or waiver, so long as Seller has complied with its obligations under this Section 1.1(g), Section 4.4 and Section 4.14 and the failure to obtain any such consent, authorization, approval or waiver did not result from any Fraud by Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 4.5 and not this Section 1.1(g) shall govern the transfer of any Shared Contracts and Section 4.4(b) and not this Section 1.1(g) shall govern any consent, authorization, approval or waiver required under Competition Laws.
(h)Buyer’s Recording and Similar Responsibilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.1, it shall be Buyer’s responsibility (i) to prepare the applicable Trademark Assignment Agreement, Patent Assignment Agreement and the Copyright Assignment Agreement, and to record such assignments following execution thereof by Seller or a Selling Affiliate at the Closing and (ii) to bear the fees and other costs (including any Taxes arising from such activities) in accordance with Section 1.5.
2.Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time through the execution and exchange, via .pdf copies of originally signed documents, of the documents and agreements contemplated herein on the date that is two (2) Business Days after the conditions set forth in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the Parties; provided, that the Parties shall not be required to consummate the Closing prior to June 12, 2026 without the written consent of each Party.

For purposes of this Section 1.3, the value of the Inventory transferred to Buyer will be determined by reference to the price for each component of Closing Inventory as set forth on Section 2.22 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and shall include only Inventory that (A) has been approved and released by Seller or such applicable Selling Affiliate appointed qualified person in compliance with applicable Laws, (B) has an unexpired shelf life of not less than nine (9) months, or solely for the Product SKUs set forth on Section 1.3(b)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, an unexpired shelf life of not less than eighteen (18) months, and (C) has not been damaged, recalled and/or incorrectly packaged or labelled.
(ii)For the purposes of clarification only, Seller is retaining all Pre-Closing Accounts Payable and Pre-Closing Accounts Receivable and the only Purchase Price adjustment after the Closing will be the adjustment of the Inventory pursuant to this Section 1.3.
(c)Dispute Notice. The Inventory Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Seller and Buyer on the 30th day following Buyer’s receipt of the Inventory Statement (or such earlier date if Buyer confirms to Seller in writing its agreement with the Inventory Statement), unless prior to such 30th day Buyer delivers to Seller a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) stating that Buyer believes the Inventory Statement contains mathematical errors (including quantity of Inventory transferred to Buyer), includes Inventory that should not be included pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(i), or was not prepared by reference to the price for each applicable component of Closing Inventory as set forth on Section 2.22 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and specifying in reasonable detail each item that Buyer disputes (each, a “Disputed Item”), the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting Buyer’s positions. Buyer shall not challenge the Inventory Statement on any other basis, and Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Inventory Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(i).
(d)Resolution Period. If Buyer delivers a Dispute Notice, then Seller and Buyer shall seek in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items during the 15-calendar day period beginning on the date Seller receives the Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”). If Seller and Buyer reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Items, Seller shall revise the Inventory Statement to reflect such agreement, which shall be final and binding upon the Parties and not appealable or subject to further review.
(e)Independent Accountant. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then Buyer and Seller shall jointly engage and submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) to the Independent Accountant; provided that if Buyer and Seller do not appoint an Independent Accountant within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Resolution Period, they shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint as the Independent Accountant a partner in the New York office of a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm that has not had a material relationship with Buyer or Seller within the preceding two years, and such appointment shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and Seller. The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review, only the Unresolved Items still in dispute and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Inventory Statement to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The parties shall agree, promptly after the Independent Accountant has been appointed, on procedures governing the resolution of any dispute by the Independent Accountant; provided that if the parties fail to agree on such procedures, the dispute resolution procedures of the American Arbitration Association shall govern. Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to issue its written determination regarding the Unresolved Items within thirty (30) calendar days after such items are submitted for review. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 1.3(e) and the price for each Product as set forth on Section 2.22 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and in no event shall the Independent Accountant’s determination of the Unresolved Items be for an amount that is outside the range of Buyer’s and Seller’s disagreement. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The final, written determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Seller absent manifest error, and Seller shall revise the Inventory Statement to reflect such determination upon receipt thereof. All negotiations pursuant to Section 1.3(d) and this Section 1.3(e) shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence, and all negotiations and submissions to the Independent Accountant, and the dispute resolution proceedings under Section 1.3(d) and this Section 1.3(e) shall be treated as confidential information. The fees, expenses and costs of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.
4



(f)Access to Information. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide promptly to the other party all information as such other party shall reasonably request in connection with review of the Inventory Statement or the Dispute Notice, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in good faith with such other party to arrive at a final determination of the Inventory Statement.
(g)Final Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the Inventory Statement is finalized pursuant to clause (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.3:
(i)if Closing Inventory is greater than the Inventory Target, then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Closing Inventory minus the Inventory Target; or
(ii)if Closing Inventory is less than the Inventory Target, then Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Inventory Target minus the Closing Inventory.
(h)Method of Payment. Any amount paid in respect of adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be (i) made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving party and (ii) treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, including for tax reporting purposes.
4.Withholding. Buyer shall make all payments under this Agreement free and clear of all deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, unless any such deduction or withholding is required by Law in effect at the time of payment. If any Taxes are required by Law in effect at the time of payment to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement, Buyer (or other applicable withholding agent) shall make such deductions and timely pay the full amount deducted to the Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and shall deliver to Seller appropriate documentation evidencing such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will provide written notice to Seller promptly upon any determination that withholding may be required on any payments under this Agreement and shall cooperate with Seller in good faith to reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the appropriate recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
5.Transfer Taxes and Other Costs.
(a)All Transfer Taxes payable on or in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Assets to Buyer and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. Buyer shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by it with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and Seller shall, subject to receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of Buyer’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse Buyer in dollars for Seller’s portion of such Transfer Taxes; provided that if Seller determines (in its sole reasonable discretion) that it is required by applicable Law to pay any Transfer Taxes, then Seller shall pay such Transfer Taxes, and Buyer shall, subject to receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse Seller in dollars for Buyer’s portion of such Transfer Taxes. If required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any exemption, exclusion, credit or other recovery from the application or imposition of any such Transfer Taxes (and any such exemptions, exclusions, credits or other recovery available under applicable Law shall be taken into account in determining each Party’s reimbursement obligation pursuant to this Section 1.5).
5



(b)All costs and fees other than Transfer Taxes associated with transferring to Buyer or one of its Affiliates the Transferred Assets (including the Transferred IP and marketing authorizations for the Products) shall be borne and paid solely by Buyer when due; provided that if any such out-of-pocket costs or expenses are incurred by Seller, Buyer shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse Seller.
(c)All costs and expenses other than Transfer Taxes associated with removing and moving any Transferred Asset to a location designated by Buyer shall be borne and paid solely by Buyer when due; provided that if any such out-of-pocket costs or expenses are incurred by Seller, Buyer shall, subject to receipt of satisfactory evidence of Seller’s payment thereof, promptly reimburse Seller.
6.Allocation of the Consideration. As soon as practicable, and in any event not later than forty-five (45) days after the determination of the final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3, Seller shall provide for Buyer’s review and comment a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price, as adjusted for all relevant tax purposes to take into account the Assumed Liabilities and other relevant items, among the Transferred Assets (and the Seller and the Selling Affiliates, and by country, as applicable) in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and other applicable Law and in a manner consistent with the methodologies set forth on Schedule 1.6 (the “Proposed Allocation”). Buyer shall have the right to object to the Proposed Allocation during the thirty (30) day period immediately following delivery of the Proposed Allocation. If Buyer delivers a notice of objection to Seller during that thirty (30) day period, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the Proposed Allocation. If Buyer makes no objection during that thirty (30) day period or Seller and Buyer agree on an allocation within the thirty (30) day period following Seller’s delivery of such a notice of objection, the Proposed Allocation or the agreed allocation, as applicable, shall be final and binding on Seller, on behalf of itself and Selling Affiliates, and Buyer (the “Agreed-Upon Allocation”). If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement on the Proposed Allocation within thirty (30) days following the delivery to Seller of Buyer’s notice of objection to the Proposed Allocation, the allocation shall be finally determined by the Independent Accountant in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.3(e), mutatis mutandis, and in a manner consistent with the methodologies set forth on Schedule 1.6, and such finally determined allocation shall be final and binding on Seller, on behalf of itself and Selling Affiliates, and Buyer as the Agreed-Upon Allocation. In the event an adjustment to the Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 1.3 or otherwise under this Agreement (and any refunds and/or other payments are made in connection therewith), the allocation of the Purchase Price shall be revised to allocate such adjustment to the Transferred Assets based upon the item to which such adjustment is attributable. Except as required in connection with a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or equivalent provision of state, local, or foreign Law), (a) the Agreed-Upon Allocation shall be binding on the Parties for federal, state, local, foreign and other Tax reporting purposes, (b) no Party will assert or maintain a position inconsistent with the Agreed-Upon Allocation and (c) the applicable Tax Returns to be filed by any of the Parties or their Affiliates or Subsidiaries shall reflect the Agreed-Upon Allocation.

.
(a)Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate to make, in the most expeditious manner practicable, all filings and applications with and to, and obtain all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of, applicable Governmental Authorities to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall determine the strategy to be pursued for obtaining and lead the effort to obtain all necessary waiting period expirations or terminations, actions or nonactions, or consents from Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In connection therewith, Seller and Buyer shall:
(i)furnish to the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and other Competition Laws;
24



(ii)subject to applicable Laws and redactions for any confidential information included in such filing, provide outside competition law counsel for the other Party with a draft of any post-filing written submissions to a Governmental Authority in connection with the Parties’ Competition Law filings and provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review such draft before making or causing to be made such submission, and consider in good faith the views of outside competition law counsel for such other Party regarding such submission;

(iv)not have any substantive contact with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing or proceeding contemplated by this Section 4.4(b) unless they have engaged in prior consultation with the other Party and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, given the other Party the opportunity to participate; and
(v)keep each other apprised of the status of any material communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ and any other applicable Governmental Authority.
(c)Buyer further agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, any and all actions to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, including:
(i)using reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including:
(1)the defense through litigation or contesting administratively of any claim asserted in any court, agency or other proceeding by any Person, including any Governmental Authority, seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of such transactions;
(2)selling, divesting, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate pending such disposition, any assets, rights, product lines, categories of assets or businesses or other operations or interests therein of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of the Transferred Assets (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Authority giving effect thereto); or
(ii)in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree is entered or issued, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, in any proceeding or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its terms unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, using reasonable best efforts to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate or remove such actual, anticipated or threatened injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree so as to permit such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.4(c) shall obligate Buyer or any of its Affiliates to agree to any divestiture, sale, disposition or holding separate of any businesses, product lines (or portion of any business or product line) or assets (i) that is not conditioned on the consummation of the Closing; (ii) that individually or in the aggregate generated more than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) in gross sales for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025; or (iii) with respect to the business of Buyer or its Affiliates.
25



(d)Buyer shall not, nor shall it permit its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to materially delay or materially increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under antitrust or Competition Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall: (i) file Transfer Letters with the applicable Governmental Authority to transfer ownership of the Regulatory Registration for the transferred Products and (b) submit all appropriate and necessary documentation with respect to FDA approval or listing by the applicable Governmental Authority of the removal of Trademarks of Seller or its Affiliates and the inclusion of Buyer’s name, corporate logo and National Drug Code and Unique Device Identification on Product labeling.

5.Shared Contracts. Following the Closing, the Parties desire for the benefit of Seller and Buyer, respectively, to have and obtain the rights and benefits under each Shared Contract to the extent related to the continuing business of Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to provide Seller and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and its Affiliates, on the other, with their applicable rights and benefits under each Shared Contract, first, by effecting a partial assignment of such Shared Contract or, if unable to effect such partial assignment, second, by assisting Buyer in entering into a new Contract or Contracts with the applicable third party on substantially similar terms (a “Separated Contract”). The costs of entering into a new Contract or Contract(s) shall be borne by Buyer. If any Shared Contract cannot be partially assigned or separated into a Separated Contract at Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts to cause, for the period after the Closing until such Shared Contract is separated into a Separated Contract or such Separated Contract expires pursuant to its terms, (i) the rights and benefits under each Shared Contract to the extent relating to the Business to be enjoyed by Buyer; (ii) the liabilities under each Shared Contract to the extent relating to the Business to be borne by Buyer; (iii) the rights and benefits under each Shared Contract to the extent relating to any business other than the Business to be enjoyed by Seller; and (iv) the liabilities under each Shared Contract to the extent relating to any business other than the Business to be borne by Seller. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (including the Selling Affiliates) shall extend the term or otherwise amend the terms of any Shared Contract in a manner that would adversely affect Buyer or its Affiliates or the Business without Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
6.Employees and Employee Benefits
.
(a)From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, and subject to applicable Law, Buyer and Seller shall reasonably coordinate to provide Buyer with reasonable access during Seller’s normal business hours to the Employees so as to engage in meetings or written or oral communications with such Employees; provided, that Buyer shall reasonably consult with Seller and obtain Seller’s express prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before meeting with or distributing any communications to any Employee, whether relating to employee benefits, post-Closing terms of employment or otherwise. Buyer shall provide Seller with advance copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on the form and content of, all such communications.
(b)Seller shall provide an updated Employee List to Buyer no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date to reflect new hires, leaves of absence, or employment terminations and any other material changes to Section 2.13(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.
26



(c)At least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliate shall have the right to provide offers of employment to all Employees, with such offers to be made subject to the satisfactory completion of background checks on the terms generally applied by Buyer (collectively, the “Offered Employees”) and such offers to be effective at any time between the occurrence of the Closing and the expiration or termination of the Transition Services Agreement (the date such offer is effective, “Transition Date”); provided, that with respect to any Offered Employee who is not in active status as of the applicable Transition Date, Buyer or its Affiliate shall offer employment to such employee immediately upon their return to active status if such Offered Employee is in good standing upon return to active status. The offer provided to each Offered Employee shall contain a total compensation opportunity and employee benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the total compensation opportunity and employee benefits in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing for similarly-situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates (such offer, a “Qualifying Offer” and each Employee who accepts a Qualifying Offer, a “Transferred Employee”). Transferred Employees shall accrue any paid-time off in accordance with Buyer’s policies.
(d)With respect to Transferred Employees, Buyer or its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) recognize, for all purposes (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan and other than accrual of paid time off) under all plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, service with Seller and its Affiliates prior to the Transition Date to the extent such service was recognized under the corresponding Listed Plan covering such Transferred Employees and to the extent the recognition of such existing seniority or period of service is compatible with and permitted under Buyer’s usual and customary employment policies and practices, including for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit levels and accruals, in each case, except where it would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, except to the extent such pre-existing condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the corresponding Listed Plan, and (iii) provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred prior to the Transition Date for the plan year in which the Closing occurs. Effective as of the Closing, each Transferred Employee shall cease to be an employee of Seller or the applicable Affiliate and shall cease to participate in any Employee Benefit Plan or other employee compensation, benefit or welfare plan of Seller or any of its Affiliates as an active employee.
(e)Buyer or its Affiliates shall bear all liabilities, obligations and costs relating to (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any claims arising out of or in connection with) the termination of any Offered Employee who does not accept an offer that is not a Qualifying Offer, including but not limited to any statutory or common law severance or other separation benefits. Seller or its Affiliates shall bear all liabilities, obligations and costs relating to (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any claims arising out of or in connection with) the termination of any Offered Employee who receives but does not accept an offer that is a Qualifying Offer, including but not limited to any statutory or common law severance or other separation benefits. Seller or one of its Affiliates (including the Selling Affiliates), as applicable, shall be solely responsible for providing any notice or other filing required under the WARN Act in respect of any plant closing, mass layoff, employment losses or similar events of or affecting the employees of Seller or one of its Affiliates (whether or not Transferred Employees) that occurs or occurred at any time up to and including the latest Transition Date, and any liability associated therewith shall be considered an Excluded Liability.
(f)The provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to any Employee are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right in any other person, including any Employee (or dependent or beneficiary of any of the foregoing). Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any Employee Benefit Plan, Buyer benefit plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or to create an obligation for Buyer to establish or implement any particular employee benefit plan, agreement, policy or arrangement for the Transferred Employees that Buyer does not otherwise provide or make available to its similarly situated employees. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 4.6 shall not create any right in any Transferred Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.
27



7.Publicity. No Party shall originate any publicity, news release or other similar public announcement, written or oral, whether relating to this Agreement or any documents or transactions contemplated hereby or the existence of any arrangement between the Parties, without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) whether or not named in such publicity, news release or other similar public announcement, except either Party may originate any such publicity, news release or other similar public announcement as may be required by Law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly traded securities; provided that in such event the issuing Party shall still be required to consult with the other Party, whether or not named in such publicity, news release or other similar public announcement, a reasonable time prior to its release to allow the other Party to comment thereon; provided, further, that if such non-issuing Party shall not have provided its consent to the issuing Party’s request for consent and/or consultation pursuant to the foregoing after two (2) Business Days, the issuing Party shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations pursuant to this Section 4.7 and shall be free to issue such publicity, news release or other similar public announcement. If Buyer, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that this Agreement must be publicly filed with a Governmental Authority, then Buyer, prior to making any such filing, shall provide Seller and its counsel with a redacted version of this Agreement which it intends to file, and will give due consideration to any comments provided by Seller or its counsel and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidential treatment by such Governmental Authority of those sections specified as confidential.
8.Insurance. Except to the extent included as a Transferred Asset, the coverage under all insurance policies related to the Business and arranged or maintained by Seller or its Affiliates is only for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates, and not for the benefit of Buyer or the Business. As of the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to arrange for its own insurance policies with respect to the Business and agrees not to seek, through any means, to benefit from any of Seller’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies which may provide coverage for claims, occurrences, facts, events, or any other matters relating in any way to the Business, whether arising before, at or after the Closing Date.
9.Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of another party, without further consideration and at the expense of the party so requesting, each of the parties shall execute and deliver to such requesting party, or shall cause to be executed and delivered to such requesting party, such additional instruments or documents, and shall take or cause to be taken such other action, as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the Closing Date, if either Buyer or Seller becomes aware that any of the Transferred Assets has not been transferred to Buyer or that any of the Excluded Assets has been transferred to Buyer, it shall promptly notify the other and the Parties hereto shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and, subject to Section 1.1(e) and Section 1.1(g), ensure that such Transferred Asset or Excluded Asset, as applicable, is transferred, without any further consideration but with any necessary prior third-party consent or approval, to (a) Buyer, in the case of any Transferred Asset which was not transferred to Buyer at the Closing; or (b) Seller, in the case of any Excluded Asset which was transferred to Buyer at the Closing.
10.Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer acknowledges that Seller and the Selling Affiliates have not taken, and do not intend to take, any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws or similar Laws of any jurisdiction. Each Party hereby waives compliance by Seller and the Selling Affiliates with the provisions of any bulk sale or bulk transfer Laws or similar Laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
11.Payments from Third Parties; Correspondence.
(a)Except as expressly provided in any Ancillary Agreement, in the event that, on or after the Closing Date, either Party shall receive any payments or other funds due to the other or its Affiliates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, then the Party receiving such funds shall promptly forward such funds to the proper Party. The Parties acknowledge and agree there is no right of offset regarding such payments, and a Party may not withhold funds received from third parties for the account of the other Party in the event there is a dispute regarding any other issue under this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement.
28



(b)For a period of three (3) years after the Closing, (i) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Buyer any mail or other communications received by Seller or any of its Affiliates from any Person in respect of any Product with respect to the period after the Closing and (ii) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Seller any mail or other communications received by Buyer or its Affiliates from any Person either intended for Seller or any of its Affiliates and not related to any Product or Transferred Asset or regarding any Product or Transferred Asset with respect to the period prior to the Closing. The provisions of this Section 4.11(b) are not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, constitute an authorization by any of Seller or Buyer to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf, and neither Seller nor Buyer are or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process purposes.
12.Seller Transitional Trademarks. Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.12, effective as of the Closing, Seller (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates, a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use the Seller Transitional Trademarks to facilitate the transition of the Business by Buyer and its Affiliates to its names and marks, or new names and marks. Following the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, cease to make any use of or to permit any third party to make any use of any Trademarks of Seller or any of its Affiliates that, for clarity, are not being assigned to Buyer hereunder as Transferred IP, including the Seller Transitional Trademarks (the “Seller Marks”); provided that, in the case of the Seller Transitional Trademarks, such time period shall be extended to the end of the Sell-Off Period applicable to such Product solely for (i) use on Existing Packaging in connection with the sale, offer for sale, advertising, marketing, distribution and promotions of such Product; and (ii) use of the Existing Promotional Materials for such Product.  Any use by Buyer and its Affiliates of any of the Seller Marks as permitted in this Section 4.12 is subject to their use of the Seller Marks in a form and manner, and with standards of quality, consistent in all material respects with those in effect for the Seller Marks as of the Closing Date.  Seller shall have the right to terminate the foregoing if Buyer and its Affiliates fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions or otherwise fail to comply with any reasonable direction of Seller in relation to the use of the Seller Marks, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of Seller’s written notice to Buyer or its Affiliates thereof. Buyer and its Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any of its Affiliates for any Losses arising from or relating to the use by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the Seller Marks pursuant to this Section 4.12. All goodwill associated with the Seller Transitional Trademarks generated by use of the Seller Transitional Trademarks pursuant to the foregoing license in this Section 4.12 shall inure to the benefit of the Seller and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and its Affiliates may use the Seller Marks at all times after the Closing in a non-trademark manner (I) to the extent reasonably required for purposes of prospectuses and similar disclosures as are reasonably required under applicable Law; (II) for internal use only, on legal documents and materials and (II) to accurately describe the history of the Business.
13.Restrictive Covenants
. As a material inducement to, and as a condition to, Buyer entering into this Agreement, and in consideration for the payments made by Buyer hereunder and the other substantial direct and indirect benefits received by Seller from the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parties agree as follows:
(a)Non-Competition.
(i)During the period from the Closing Date through the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Restricted Parties”) not to, engage in or have a direct or indirect pecuniary, financial or ownership interest in any Person (whether as a sole proprietor, owner, stockholder, partner, member, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise), or render any direct or indirect service or assistance to, or permit the use of its name by, any Person which engages in any Competitive Business anywhere in the world.
29



(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in Section 4.13(a)(i) shall preclude the Restricted Parties from continuing to own, directly or indirectly, their existing minority, non-controlling equity interest in [***] (“[***]”) or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, ownership in [***] or its Affiliates (including any actions taken by [***] or its Subsidiaries, provided that such actions are not at the direction of the Restricted Parties) shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a violation of Section 4.13(a)(i) by the Restricted Parties.
(b)Business Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause the other Restricted Parties not to, (i) induce, or attempt to induce, any customer, supplier, distributor, licensor or other business relation of the Business to cease doing business with, or reduce its business with, Buyer or its Affiliates, or (ii) in any way intentionally interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, distributor, licensee, licensor or other business relation and Buyer or its Affiliates.
(c)Seller Employee Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause the other Restricted Parties not to, directly or indirectly (i) encourage, induce, or solicit any Transferred Employee to leave the employ or service of Buyer or its Affiliates or in any way intentionally interfere with the relationship between Buyer or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any such employee, on the other hand, or (ii) hire any Transferred Employee; provided, that this clause shall not preclude Seller or its Affiliates from (x) posting a general solicitation through a public medium or making a general or mass mailing by or on behalf of Sellers or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, that is not targeted at any Transferred Employee or (y) soliciting, hiring or other actions with respect to any Transferred Employee whose employment with Buyer and its Affiliates terminates at least six (6) months prior to such initial solicitation.
(d)Buyer Employee Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, Buyer shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (i), encourage, induce, or solicit any management-level employee or executive officer of Seller or any of its Affiliates who provided services to the Business in the twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date and remains employed by the Seller or its Affiliates as of immediately following the Closing, or (ii) hire any such employee; provided, that this clause shall not preclude Buyer or its Affiliates from (x) posting a general solicitation through a public medium or making a general or mass mailing by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, that is not targeted at management-level employees or executive officers of Seller or (y) soliciting, hiring or other actions with respect to any management-level employee or executive officer of Seller whose employment with Seller and its Affiliates terminates after the Closing, so long as such termination of employment occurred more than six (6) months prior to such initial solicitation.
(e)Mutual Non-Disparagement. During the Restricted Period, each Party shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and otherwise direct their respective Representatives not to, make, or cause to be made, any statement (whether oral or written) that disparages the reputation or business of the other Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, equityholders and partners; provided, however, that this Section 4.13(e) shall not in any way affect the rights and obligations of any Party to (i) testify truthfully in any legal proceeding or make any truthful statement to the extent required by Law or any Governmental Authority, (ii) respond publicly to correct any incorrect public statements made by either Party if such statements have adverse economic or reputational impacts on such Party, (iii) exercise or enforce any rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and (iv) make any truthful statements about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to such Party’s own employees, directors, officers, advisors and (following the Closing) investors.
30



(f)Acknowledgements. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree (with respect to Seller, on behalf of itself and each Restricted Party) that the restrictions contained in this Section 4.13 are essential in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and that either Party’s remedies for a breach or other failure to comply with the restrictions contained in this Section 4.13 are not intended to be limited by reference to the value of any amount explicitly assigned by the Parties as specific consideration for the restrictions contained in this Section 4.13 (or any portion thereof) or otherwise. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach of any of the applicable provisions of this Section 4.13, monetary damages may not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief, in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity, in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 4.13 (without posting a bond or other security); provided, that in the event of any such breach, the Restricted Period shall be tolled until the date on which such breach ceases to be continuing and in effect, in order that the non-breaching Party and its Affiliates shall have all of the agreed-upon temporal protection provided in this Section 4.13. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, scope or duration of the provisions of this Section 4.13 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the Parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of Seller and the Restricted Parties or Buyer and its Affiliates, as applicable, that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure the Parties the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 4.13 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such Litigation, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such Litigation, from this Agreement. Seller acknowledges (on behalf of itself and each Restricted Party) that during its ownership of the Business (including the Transferred Assets), Seller and the Restricted Parties have become familiar with the trade secrets of and other Confidential Information concerning the Business. Therefore, in further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Seller under this Agreement, Seller agrees to the covenants set forth in Section 4.14 and acknowledges that (i) the covenants set forth in this Section 4.13 are reasonably limited in time and in all other respects, (ii) the covenants set forth in this Section 4.13 are reasonably necessary for the protection of Buyer and its Affiliates, (iii) Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement but for the agreement of Seller to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.13, and (iv) the covenants set forth in this Section 4.13 have been made in order to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement.
14.Transition Efforts. Subject to Section 4.4, each of Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and the Assumed Contracts and Transferred Permits (including to promptly obtain any necessary consents, authorizations, approvals or waivers), and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers and any other agreements, as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either inside or outside the United States, including to effect the separation of the Business and the Transferred Assets from other assets or other businesses of Seller and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be required to pay any consideration or other amounts, or to commence, defend or participate in any Litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party in connection with the foregoing, and neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall commit to make any such payment or accommodation without Buyer’s prior written consent if such payment or accommodation would be an Assumed Liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably co-operate as to the separation of the Business from Seller’s other business and planning Buyer’s integration of the Business, so as to reduce the number and scope of services to be provided in the Transition Services Agreement substantially in the form as attached as Exhibit E, which shall be amended accordingly; provided that nothing in this Section 4.14 shall require or permit Seller, Buyer or their Affiliates to conduct any integration activities to the extent that the same are prohibited by Competition Laws.
15.Exclusivity
. Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, and shall cause its and their Representatives to, (a) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (b) terminate access by any Person to any physical or electronic data room or other access to data of Seller and its Affiliates, in each case relating to or in connection with, an Acquisition Proposal and (c) request any such Person and its representatives to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning Seller and its Affiliates relating to, or in connection with, an Acquisition Proposal.
31



In recognition of the time that will be expended and the expense that will be incurred by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 7, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, engage in negotiations or discussions about, or provide information with respect to, any inquiry or proposal relating to the possible direct or indirect acquisition of all or any material portion of the Business, including the Transferred Assets (other than any sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business) or that would have the effect of materially limiting or preventing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether by sale of assets, sale of equity, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation or otherwise (an “Acquisition Proposal”); (ii) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) except as otherwise required by Law, in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, provide any nonpublic financial or other confidential or proprietary information regarding the Business to any Person (other than Buyer). Seller shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of learning of the relevant information) notify Buyer if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing and shall identify such Person.
16.Release Letters
. Seller shall deliver to Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date copies of release letters in customary form evidencing the release of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the Transferred Assets as of the Closing (the “Release Letters”); provided, that any Release Letters related to Liens from Indebtedness may instead evidence the agreement by the holders of the applicable Indebtedness (or an agent or other representative on their behalf) to, upon the Closing, release all Liens on the Transferred Assets and to promptly return all collateral in possession of such lenders (or agents thereof), if any, created in connection with the Indebtedness.  At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall have obtained documents (including an authorization for Seller and its designees to file Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, executed terminations and releases of outstanding Liens on the Transferred Assets) as are reasonably necessary to release such Liens in accordance with such Release Letters.
17.Financial Statements; Regulation S-X Cooperation.
(a)Promptly following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall engage Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to complete a “carve-out” financial audit of the consolidated balance sheet of the Business as of December 31, 2025 and related consolidated audited statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (the “Audited Financials”) and to review the unaudited balance sheet of the Business and related unaudited statements of income, statement of comprehensive income, and cash flows for each fiscal quarter and year-to-date period ended after such fiscal year end but prior to the Closing Date, including comparative figures for the preceding fiscal year end (in the case of the balance sheet) and the preceding fiscal year’s comparative period (in the case of the statements of income and cash flows) (the “Reviewed Financials”), in each case at Seller’s expense. Seller shall deliver, in accordance with Section 1.2(a)(vi), the Audited Financials and the Reviewed Financials for any fiscal quarter ended at least forty five (45) days prior to the Closing Date. If the Closing Date occurs within forty-five (45) days after the end of a fiscal quarter, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause EY to complete its review, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (and in any event within forty-five (45) days after such fiscal quarter end), of the unaudited balance sheet of the Business and related unaudited statements of income, statement of comprehensive income and cash flows for such fiscal quarter and year-to-date period, including comparative figures for the preceding fiscal year end (in the case of the balance sheet) and the preceding fiscal year’s comparative period (in the case of the statements of income and cash flows)’s comparative period (which, upon completion by EY shall become Reviewed Financials). Seller shall provide EY with access to the books and records and financial and operating data of Seller and its Affiliates as reasonably requested by EY and shall instruct its accountants, agents, employees and other representatives to provide customary cooperation with EY in order to prepare the Audited Financials as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement. Seller shall provide Buyer with a complete and correct copy of the Audited Financials and Reviewed Financials promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, following Seller’s receipt of the same from EY, it being understood that the delivery of any Reviewed Financials for a quarter ended within forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date shall not be required prior to the Closing Date and shall not be a condition to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The financial statements prepared and delivered pursuant to this Section 4.17(a) shall (i) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Business (excluding any other business of Seller or its Affiliates) as of the date(s) indicated, (ii) fairly present, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities, the results of the operations, changes in equity and cash flows of the Business (excluding any other business of Seller or its Affiliates) for the period(s) then ended, (iii) be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except that Reviewed Financials may include condensed footnote disclosure and may be subject to normal year end adjustments and any other adjustments stated therein or the notes thereto, and (iv) be prepared in compliance with Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
32



(b)Within twenty-five (25) days following the end of each month ended after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with a copy of the monthly balance sheet of the Business and related unaudited statements of income and cash flows for the month then ended.
(c)Without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 4.17(a) or Section 4.17(b), during the period from the Closing Date through the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Records Period”), Seller shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, upon reasonable advance notice from Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (i) Buyer and its Representatives with access to such financial and other information pertaining to the Business for the period of Seller’s and its Affiliates’ ownership and operation of the Business, to the extent in Seller’s or its Affiliates’ possession or control and to which Seller and its Affiliates have reasonable access; provided, however, that such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the affairs of Seller and its Affiliates and Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses associated therewith (and shall promptly, upon Seller’s request, reimburse Seller or its Affiliates for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses paid for such provision), that is relevant and reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to prepare financial statements in compliance with the requirements of (A) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the SEC or (B) any registration statement, proxy statement, report or disclosure statement filed with the SEC by or on behalf of Buyer or its Affiliates, and (ii) reasonable and customary assistance to Buyer and its outside, third-party accountants in completing audits and the preparation of such financial statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if reasonably requested by Buyer during the Records Period, (x) Seller shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, deliver a customary representation letter in such form as is reasonably required by Buyer’s outside, third-party accountants, which representation letter may be required to assist such accountants in rendering an opinion on such financial statements in order to comply with clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) above, and (y) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its auditors to provide customary consents and comfort letters to the extent reasonably requested by underwriters or initial purchasers in any securities financings by Buyer or its Affiliates.
18.Financing
.
(a)Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer to obtain the Financing, (iii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions), (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. In the event that the Commitment Letter is amended, replaced, supplemented or Alternative Financing is obtained, Buyer shall comply with its covenants in this Section 4.18 with respect to the Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or with respect to the Alternative Financing, if applicable, to the same extent that Buyer would have been obligated to comply with respect to the Financing.
33



(b)In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Commitment Letter for any reason and such portion is reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller, and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event but no later than the Outside Date, alternative financing from alternative sources (“Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby with terms and conditions no less favorable, taken as a whole, to Buyer (or its Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter.
(c)Prior to the Closing, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense to the extent subject to the expense reimbursement provisions in the last two sentences of this Section 4.18(c), Seller shall, and shall instruct the employees, counsel, accountants, agents, financial advisors and other representatives of Seller and Seller’s Affiliates to, provide all reasonable cooperation upon the request of Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or any Alternative Financing. Such cooperation will include (i) cooperating with the arrangement of, and marketing efforts in connection with, the Financing, including assisting with the preparation of appropriate and customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering and syndication documents (including lender and investor presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents) and other customary marketing materials required in connection with the Financing, including the execution of customary authorization letters with respect to the distribution thereof (including, if reasonably requested by the Financing sources, assisting in the preparation of an additional version of a confidential information memorandum and related lender presentation that does not contain material non-public information and providing a customary authorization letter authorizing the distribution of the confidential information memorandum to prospective Financing sources and containing a representation, if applicable, that such memorandum does not include material non-public information about the Seller or its Affiliates or securities), (ii) providing to Buyer from time to time information regarding the Business as reasonably requested by the Financing sources, including providing the Required Information, and such other financial information reasonably required by the Financing sources or in connection with any definitive documents, including any Financing Agreements or definitive Financing agreements for the Financing, (iii) upon reasonable notice, participating in, and causing appropriate members of senior management to participate in, a reasonable number of lender presentations, meetings, calls, due diligence sessions, and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing at reasonable times and locations mutually agreed; (iv) as requested, providing customary executed authorization letters with respect to the bank information memoranda executed by a senior officer of Seller; (v) facilitating the pledging of Transferred Assets as collateral effective as of the Closing; (vi) assisting with the preparation of definitive documents and certificates related to the Financing (including officer’s certificates and customary evidence of authority) and the schedules and exhibits thereto, in each case customarily required to be delivered under any definitive documents for any Financing; (vii) furnishing, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing, such documentation and information as is requested in writing by Buyer at least nine (9) days prior to the Closing to the extent required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation; (viii) taking all corporate, partnership, limited liability company and other entity actions that are necessary or customary to obtain the Financing and market the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ix) providing or causing to be provided any customary comfort letters and consents to the inclusion of audit reports from the Seller’s auditors and legal opinions and negative assurance letters from the Seller’s outside counsel, and (x) assisting Buyer in the preparation of pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements and other financial data that is required for the Financing. Seller hereby consents to the use of the logos used in the Business in connection with the Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage Seller, its Affiliates, the Business or the reputation or goodwill of any of them. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.18(c) to the contrary, nothing in such section shall require such cooperation to the extent it would (1) unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the business or operations of Seller or (2) require Seller to (v) agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing unless such fees and expenses are subject to the expense reimbursement provisions set forth in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph below or to incur any other liabilities that are effective prior to the Closing (except to the extent such liabilities are subject to the indemnity set forth in the final sentence of this paragraph below), (w) give any indemnities that are effective prior to the Closing (except to the extent such indemnities are subject to the indemnity set forth in the final sentence of this paragraph below), (x) become subject to any obligation under any certificate, agreement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing that are effective prior to the Closing (except (I) the authorization letters set forth in clause (i) and (iv) above, (II) the “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering documents contemplated by clause (vii) above, and (III) the representation letters required by Seller’s auditors in connection with the delivery of “comfort letters” set forth in clause (ix) above), (y) require their respective boards of directors or equivalent governing bodies to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize any such agreement with respect to the Financing prior to the Closing or (z) subject to the parenthetical in clause (x) above, deliver any certificate or take any other action that would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to a director, officer or other personnel, deliver any legal opinion or otherwise provide any information or take any action to the extent it would result in a loss or waiver of any privilege. Buyer shall, promptly after written request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, to the extent incurred at the request or consent of Seller, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation contemplated by this Section 4.18(c). Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from, against and in respect of all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Financing and any information used in connection therewith to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises from (x) the bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by Seller or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, as applicable, or (y) information provided by Seller or its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, as applicable, containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
34



(d)Buyer shall give Seller prompt written notice: (i) of any material breach or default by any party to, or any condition not likely to be satisfied in, the Commitment Letter (or any Alternative Financing) or any definitive document related to the Financing (or Alternative Financing) of which Buyer becomes aware, (ii) of any termination of the Commitment Letter (or commitments for Alternative Financing), or (iii) if, for any reason, Buyer believes in good faith that it is reasonably likely that it will not be able to obtain all or any material portion of the Financing in the amounts or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Agreements (or any Alternative Financing) and that it is not reasonably likely that it will be able to obtain acceptable alternative financing. At the request of Seller, Buyer shall provide reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange and consummate the Financing (or Alternative Financing). In the event that the Commitment Letter is amended, replaced, supplemented or modified in accordance with this Section 4.18(d) or Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 4.18(d), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of such event. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the Financing or any Alternative Financing is not a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding that a claim for Losses may fall into multiple categories of this Section 8.3, Seller Indemnitees may recover such Losses only one time.
4.Limitations on Indemnity. Buyer and Seller agree, for themselves and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees that:
(a)No Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification, to sue for damages or to assert any other right or remedy under this Agreement with respect to any Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent it is a potential Loss that may be asserted rather than an actual Loss that has, in fact, been incurred by such party.
(b)With respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement: (i) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible Insurance Proceeds; (ii) in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect, speculative, treble or punitive damages, loss of business reputation or opportunity, lost revenue, income or profits, diminution in value or similar items, except if and to the extent any such damages are recovered against an Indemnified Party pursuant to a Third Party Claim; and (iii) the Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
(c)If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party may be covered, in whole or in part, by third-party insurance coverage, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party so requests, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance proceeds thereunder, in which event all such proceeds actually received, net of costs reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in seeking such collection, shall be considered “Eligible Insurance Proceeds”. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third party any Eligible Insurance Proceeds and/or any other amount in respect of any Losses for which an Indemnifying Party has actually reimbursed such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party such Eligible Insurance Proceeds and/or the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim.
(d)Any Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses incurred by such party upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder.
5.Notification of Claims; Third Party Claims.
(a)A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article 8, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.
39



(b)Upon receipt of notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 in respect of a pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (such claim or demand being a “Third Party Claim” and including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party), the Indemnifying Party may, by written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim (which shall include an agreement from the Indemnifying Party to be fully responsible for any Losses related to or arising from such Third Party Claim solely to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is liable for such losses as provided for in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable, and subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.4), assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.5(b) to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, and if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, shall cease to defend and control, any Third Party Claims (each, an “Excluded Claim”): (i) that include any criminal charges against any Indemnified Party, including any investigation by a Governmental Authority (including any civil investigative demand or “qui tam” action); (ii) that involve any claims for injunctive relief or equitable remedy against any Indemnified Party which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the ongoing operations of the business of the Indemnified Party; (iii) in any circumstance under which the insurer under the RWI Policy has elected to assume control of the defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim; or (iv) involves a taxing authority’s audit or examination of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to control the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate through counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay for the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party if, in the opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, the assumption of such defense by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to an actual conflict of interest (provided that such conflict of interest does not arise in connection with a determination as to whether a Loss is an Assumed Liability or an Excluded Liability). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any Excluded Claim and any Third Party Claim for which it does not elect to control the defense. The Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to control the defense; provided that the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim with reasonable diligence and keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of material developments in the Third Party Claim at all stages thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to (or make an offer with respect to) a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement, (ii) not encumber any assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party, (iii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise (or offer to settle or compromise) or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent, in the case of any Third Party Claim other than an Excluded Claim, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8 (including Section 8.2 and 8.3), if (1) the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article 8, (2) such Indemnified Party proposes, in writing, a settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, and (3) within thirty (30) days of such request, the Indemnifying Party has responded, in writing, to such request for consent or has otherwise affirmatively responded accepting that it may be liable for such Third Party Claim under this Article 8, then no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article 8 for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party (which consent, in the case of any Third Party Claim other than an Excluded Claim, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
40



(d)In the event any Indemnifying Party receives notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any such claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party.
(e)All amounts due to an Indemnified Party as so finally determined will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Indemnified Party, within ten (10) Business Days after determination of the final amount owed thereto.
6.Exclusive Remedy. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Seller and Buyer hereby agree that following the Closing, subject to Section 10.10, the sole and exclusive remedy of a party for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, other than as a result of Fraud, shall be the indemnification rights set forth in this Article 8, regardless of the legal theory under which any liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise. The Parties hereto agree that (i) the provisions of this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Buyer’s and the Buyer Indemnitees’ rights and remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including this Article 8) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder, (ii) such provisions were integral part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) without such provisions, the Seller would not enter into this Agreement or otherwise agree to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Except as provided under Article 8, Section 10.8 and Section 10.11, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
10.Specific Performance.
(a)Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the other parties will be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms and (ii) any breach of this Agreement and the non-consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone, even if available. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a party may be entitled, at law or in equity, that party shall be entitled to equitable relief (including an injunction or injunctions) to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to compel specific performance of this Agreement (including to require the other party to consummate the Closing as contemplated hereby), without (A) the need for proof of actual damages and (B) the requirement of posting any bond or other indemnity. Furthermore, each party hereto agrees not to raise (Y) any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement, or to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement (including to require the other party to consummate the Closing as contemplated hereby), or (Z) that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.
(b)Each party hereto further agrees that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.10 a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 10.10 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 10.10 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit any party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 10.10 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 7, nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.10 or anything set forth in this Section 10.10 restrict or limit any such party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 7 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. If any party hereto brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and conditions hereof by the other party, the party bringing such action may unilaterally extend the End Date (notwithstanding the termination provisions of Section 7.1(b)(i)), so long as the party bringing such action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
11.Waiver of Conflicts; Deal Communications.
(a)Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Skadden”) has acted as counsel to Seller (together with the Affiliates of Seller, collectively, the “Seller Parties”) in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)Buyer hereby consents and agrees to Skadden representing any of the Seller Parties after the Closing, including with respect to disputes in which the interests of the Seller Parties may be directly adverse to Buyer and its Affiliates, and even though Skadden may have represented a Seller Party in a matter substantially related to any such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Seller. Buyer further consents and agrees to the communication by Skadden to the Seller Parties in connection with any such representation of any fact known to Skadden arising by reason of Skadden’s prior representation of Seller or any of its Affiliates.
58



(c)In connection with the foregoing, Buyer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with: (i) Skadden’s prior representation of Seller or any of its Affiliates and (ii) Skadden’s representation of the Seller Parties prior to and after the Closing.
(d)Buyer further agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among any of Skadden and/or any Seller Party, or any of their respective managers, directors, officers employees or other representatives that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any dispute arising under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deal Communications”) shall be deemed to be retained and owned collectively by the Seller Parties, shall be controlled by Seller on behalf of the Seller Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates. All Deal Communications that are attorney-client privileged (the “Privileged Deal Communications”) shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Seller Parties, shall be controlled by Seller on behalf of the Seller Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Seller Party, on the other hand, Buyer may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the Privileged Deal Communications to such third party; provided, that Buyer may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Buyer is legally required by governmental order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Deal Communications, Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify Seller in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section) so that Seller can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to assist therewith.
(f)To the extent that files or other materials maintained by Skadden constitute property of its clients, only the Seller Parties shall hold such property rights and Skadden shall have no duty to reveal or disclose any such files or other materials or any Deal Communications by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Skadden and any Seller Party.
(g)Buyer agrees that it will not (i) access or use the Deal Communications, including by way of review of any electronic data, communications or other information, or by seeking to have any Seller Party waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting that Buyer has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege or (ii) seek to obtain the Deal Communications from Skadden. In furtherance of the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of any provision of this Agreement if prior to the Closing any Seller Party, or any of their respective directors, officers employees or other representatives takes any action to protect from access or remove from any Transferred Asset or the premises of the Business (or any offsite back-up or other facilities) any Deal Communications, including without limitation by segregating, encrypting, copying, deleting, erasing, exporting or otherwise taking possession of any Deal Communications (any such action, a “Permitted Removal”). In the event that, notwithstanding any good faith attempts by any Seller Party, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives to achieve a Permitted Removal of any Deal Communication, any copy, backup, image, or other form or version or electronic vestige of any portion of such Deal Communication remains accessible to or discoverable or retrievable by Buyer (each, a “Residual Communication”), Buyer agrees that it will not, and that it will cause its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives not to intentionally use or attempt to use any means to access, retrieve, restore, recreate, unarchive or otherwise gain access to or view any Residual Communication for any purpose.
12.Debt Financing Sources Protective Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, hereby (a) agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim or any proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing or any of the agreements relating to the Financing (including the Commitment Letter) and each definitive agreement with respect to the Financing (each, a “Definitive Debt Financing Agreement”) entered into in connection with the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the
59



performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof) and irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (b) agrees that any such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), (c) agrees that service of process upon such Person in any such proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.1, (d) agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller will not have any rights or claims, regardless of the legal theory under which such right or claim may be asserted, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory, and will not seek any such rights or claims against any of the Debt Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or any Definitive Debt Financing Agreement, and no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability to the Seller for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties or for any claim (regardless of the legal theory under which such claim may be asserted, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory), based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Commitment Letter, the Financing or any Definitive Debt Financing Agreement, (e) KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING, THE COMMITMENT LETTER, ANY DEFINITIVE DEBT FINANCING AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SERVICES THEREUNDER and (f) agrees that the Debt Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions herein reflecting the foregoing agreements in this Section (and such provisions shall not be amended in any respect that is materially adverse to the Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the applicable Debt Financing Sources). This Section shall not limit or qualify the rights and obligations of the Debt Financing Sources and the other parties to the Financing under the Commitment Letter or other Definitive Debt Financing Agreements.
