OREANDA-NEWS. May 18, 2016. As previously announced, the acquisition of Jarden Corporation (“Jarden”) by

Newell Rubbermaid (“Newell”) was consummated on April 15, 2016 and the consummation of the merger constituted a Fundamental Change and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to the above-listed series of Jarden’s outstanding convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). Following this acquisition,

Newell Rubbermaid was renamed Newell Brands (NYSE: NWL).

On April 25, 2016, Jarden issued a Fundamental Change Company Notice, as required by the Indentures, which notified holders that the Convertible Notes had become eligible for conversion at the Conversion Rates provided below (the "Make-Whole Conversion Rates") only until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, May 23, 2016 (the "Expiration Time"). Following the Expiration Time, the conversion rates for conversions permitted by an applicable Indenture, if any, shall be reduced by the amount of additional shares that are included in the Make-Whole Conversion Rates as a result of the merger constituting a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. Following the Expiration Time, the outstanding Convertible Notes, if any, will be convertible at such times as a conversion obligation exists under Section 10.01 of the Indentures and subject to the procedural requirements set forth in the Indentures. Jarden expects that a conversion obligation will exist with respect to each series of Convertible Notes immediately following the Expiration Time. However, any conversion after the Expiration Time will be effected at the conversion rates set forth in the table below and will exclude the additional shares associated with the Make-Whole Fundamental Change relating to the merger. Holders will have no right to receive the additional shares associated with the Make-Whole Fundamental Change relating to the merger following the Expiration Time. Jarden can provide no assurance that the conditions that give rise to a conversion obligation under Section 10.01 of the Indentures (e.g., with respect to the trading prices of the Convertible Notes) will be satisfied in the future, and Jarden's conversion obligation will not continue at times when such conditions are not satisfied.

As of May 16, 2016, 90.23% of holders of 2018 Notes, 77.39% of holders of 2019 Notes and 86.10% of holders of 2034 Notes have converted their Convertible Notes. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding following the Expiration Time will be significantly reduced, which may adversely affect the liquidity of and, consequently, the market price for any Convertible Notes that remain outstanding.

As a result of the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Rate applicable to each series of Convertible Notes are set forth in the table below.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES MAKE-WHOLE CONVERSION CONVERSION RATES AFTER
RATES THROUGH THE THE EXPIRATION TIME
EXPIRATION TIME
\\$1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes 32.0162 31.7592

\\$1,000 principal amount of 2034 Notes 21.6724 20.0375

For each share of Jarden common stock that would have been issued based on the above-listed Conversion Rates, converting holders will receive the merger consideration consisting of (1) 0.862 of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Newell Brands’ common stock, plus (2) \\$21.00 in cash. Accordingly, holders converting their Convertible Notes will receive the following amounts:
