NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively the “Company” or “Tupperware”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. The Company prepared the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of results.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. As such, these Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 26, 2020. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

For the second quarter ended June 26, 2021, the impact on business activity brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) continues to evolve. As a result, many of the Company's estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company's estimates may change materially in future periods.

COVID-19

Since early 2020, the Company has followed guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) on actions required by individuals and businesses following the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since 2020 the pandemic has impacted worldwide economic activity and many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease. These policies, such as shelter-in-place orders, remained in place for a significant period of time, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses. The Company responded by taking actions to keep employees protected, support the Company’s global independent distributors, directors, managers and dealers (the "Sales Force") and communities, and maintain business continuity. Actions taken to date include:

Monitoring of local and state governments and public health institution recommendations in the markets where the Company operates.
Revision in real-time of corporate policies and procedures to keep the Company's employees safe around the world.
Enacting travel bans consistent with emerging needs and regulation.
Provisioning all required personal protective equipment in manufacturing locations that continued to operate during the pandemic.
Conducting regular temperature checks for employees and providing additional medical leave and medical assistance as needed.
Enacting special cleaning and immediate response procedures for office and plant employees.
Accelerating access to, and training and implementation of, digital platforms for Sales Force to enable customers to continue to acquire products while enhancing the customer's digital experience.
Activating a global business continuity committee with representatives from key business functions from all over the world, with a task to guide the Company's global organization through the pandemic with a dual focus on business continuity and health and safety.
Enabling work from home arrangements and support for associates with virtual tools and equipment as required.

A top priority for the Company as it continues to navigate the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic is the safety of its employees and their families, Sales Force and consumers, and to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its operations and financial

results. The Company will continue to proactively respond to the situation and may take further actions that alter the Company’s business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, Sales Force and consumers. In order to ensure continued safety and protect the health of the employees, and to comply with applicable government directives, the Company has modified its business practices to allow its employees to work remotely, incorporate virtual meetings and restrict all non-essential employee travel until further notice. While global vaccination efforts are underway, the continued impact of COVID-19, including any increases in infection rates, new variants of the virus, and renewed governmental action to slow the spread of COVID-19, cannot be estimated.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans”, an amendment to existing guidance on disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans. Under the amendment, the entity is required to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used, reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation and an explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. The amendment also removed certain required disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of 2021 and the adoption did not have any material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, an optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the transition from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate. The ASU intends to address certain concerns relating to accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting. These optional expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP, assuming certain criteria are met, are allowed through December 31, 2022. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the potential adoption of this amendment on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2: Shipping and Handling Costs

The cost of products sold line item includes costs related to the purchase and manufacture of goods sold by the Company. Among these costs are inbound freight charges, duties, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, depreciation expense, internal transfer costs and warehousing costs of raw material, work in process and packing materials. The warehousing and distribution costs of finished goods are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Distribution costs are comprised of outbound freight and associated labor costs. Fees billed to customers associated with the distribution of products are classified as revenue.

Note 3: Promotional Costs

The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent Sales Force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for other activities. These activities are ancillary to the Company’s business, but considered separate and distinct services from sales, which are measured by defined group/team sales levels, party attendance, addition of new Sales Force members, or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of product awards, special prizes, or trips.

Programs are generally designed to recognize Sales Force members for achieving a primary objective. An example is holding a certain number of product demonstrations. In this situation, the Company offers a prize to Sales Force members that achieve the targeted number of product demonstrations over a specified period. The period runs from a couple of weeks to several months. The prizes are generally graded, in that meeting one level may result in receiving a piece of jewelry, with higher achievement resulting in more valuable prizes such as a television or a trip. Similar programs are designed to reward current Sales Force members who reach certain goals by promoting them to a higher level in the organization where their earning opportunity would be expanded, and they would take on additional responsibilities for adding new Sales Force members and providing training and motivation to new and existing Sales Force members. Other business drivers, such as scheduling product demonstrations, increasing the number of Sales Force members, holding product demonstrations, or increasing end consumer attendance at product demonstrations, may also be the focus of a program.

The Company also offers commissions for achieving targeted sales levels. These types of awards are generally based upon the sales achievement of at least a mid-level member of the Sales Force, and her or his down-line members. The down-line consists of those Sales Force members that have been directly added to the Sales Force by a given Sales Force member, as well as those added by her or his down-line member. In this manner, Sales Force members can build an extensive organization over time if they are committed to adding and developing their units. In addition to the commission, the positive performance of a unit may also entitle its leader to the use of a Company-provided vehicle and in some cases, the permanent awarding of a vehicle. Similar to the prize programs noted earlier, these programs generally offer varying levels of vehicles that are dependent upon performance.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the Sales Force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored and changes to the original estimates are made when known.

Note 5: Re-engineering Charges

Re-engineering charges are mainly related to the transformation program, which was announced in January 2019 and re-assessed in December 2019 (collectively the “Turnaround Plan”). The key elements of the Turnaround Plan include: increasing the Company's right-sizing plans to improve profitability, accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet, restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity, and structurally fixing the Company’s core business to create a more sustainable business model. The Turnaround Plan charges primarily related to severance costs and outside consulting services. Other re-engineering charges are primarily related to facility costs.

continued unfavorable losses in 2021 as compared to 2020 in the United States that currently have no tax benefit, and an unfavorable adjustment related to a continued limitation of interest expense deductions requiring a valuation allowance

Table of contents
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is currently under examination or contesting proposed adjustments by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years ranging from 2004 through 2020. It is reasonably possible that there could be a significant decrease or increase to the unrecognized tax benefit balance during the course of the next twelve months as these examinations continue, other tax examinations commence or various statutes of limitations expire. While the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease related to audits in various foreign jurisdictions that may conclude during that period or new developments that could also, in turn, impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. An estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made for remaining unrecognized tax benefits because of the significant number of jurisdictions in which the Company does business and the number of open tax periods.
Note 7: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the basic weighted-average shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by also considering the impact of dilutive securities such as stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance share units on both net income (loss) and the basic weighted-average shares.

Note 9: Cash, Cash equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, or similar instruments. Any funds that the Company is legally restricted to withdraw, including compensating balances, are classified as restricted cash. Restricted cash is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in the other assets, net line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 14: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows, and financial position of its international operations. Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company’s local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response, the Company uses financial instruments to hedge certain of its exposures and to manage the foreign exchange impact to its financial statements. At its inception, a derivative financial instrument is designated as a fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedge.

Fair Value Hedges

Fair value hedges are entered into with financial instruments such as forward contracts, with the objective of limiting exposure to certain foreign exchange risks primarily associated with accounts payable and non-permanent intercompany transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. The change in fair value of hedged items results in adjustments to their carrying amounts. In assessing hedge effectiveness, as of the beginning of 2019, the Company made the accounting policy election in accordance with ASU 2017-12 to exclude forward points and record their impact in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item for 2019, other (income) expense, net. Prior to 2019, the forward points had been included as a component of interest expense. Pretax income on forward points was as follows:

Forward points gain (loss) on fair value hedges$1.3 $7.6 $2.4 $12.6 

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The majority of cash flow hedge contracts that the Company enters into relate to inventory purchases. At initiation, the Company’s cash flow hedge contracts are generally for periods ranging from one month to fifteen months. The portion of the gain or loss included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings through the same line item as the transaction being hedged at the time the hedged transaction impacts earnings. As such, the balance at the end of the current reporting period in other comprehensive income (loss), related to cash flow hedges, will generally be reclassified within the next twelve months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities, as applicable. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of the beginning of 2019 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income (loss) compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Manufacturing variances that will be capitalized and amortized over actual months of inventory turns related to the forward point impact from the settlement of cash flow hedges were:

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain Euro denominated borrowings under its Credit Agreement, to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and designates these as net investment hedges. Changes in the value of these financial instruments are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Due to the permanent nature of the investments, the Company does not anticipate reclassifying any portion of these amounts to the income statement in the next twelve months. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of the beginning of 2019 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for net investment hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income (loss) compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Changes in fair value, net of tax, recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and the pretax income on forward points was as follows:

The Company's theoretical credit risk for each foreign exchange contract is its replacement cost, but management believes that the risk of incurring credit losses is remote and such losses, if any, would not be material. The Company is also exposed to market risk on its derivative instruments due to potential changes in foreign exchange rates; however, such market risk would be fully offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items being hedged. For all outstanding derivative instruments, the net accrued gain or loss was recorded either in non-trade accounts receivable, net or accrued liabilities, depending upon the net position of the individual contracts. The gain or loss amounts change based upon the Company's outstanding exposure to fair value fluctuations. The Company has an accounting policy to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis. Including the effect of master netting arrangements that provide a right of offset upon default of the counterparty, the Company’s net derivative position amounts were:

Term Loan

On December 3, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, entered into the following term loan credit facilities with the Company and its affiliates:

a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million with the Company as borrower (the “Parent Term Loan”); and
a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million with Dart Industries, Inc. as borrower and the Company as borrower (the “Dart Term Loan” and, together with the Parent Term Loan, the “Term Loan”).

The Company used the aggregate borrowings of $275.0 million from the Term Loan and cash on hand to retire outstanding Senior Notes (as defined below). The Term Loan has an original issue discount and commitment fee of 4.5% or $12.4 million which has been recorded as a contra liability to the carrying value of the Term Loan and is included in the unamortized debt issuance costs balance noted above. The original issue discount and related debt issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the Term Loan. The Term Loan matures on December 3, 2023. The Company has prepayment options, as well as mandatory prepayments at the option of the Lenders. The prepayments have premium protections depending on the timing of the prepayment and the source of cash used for prepayment.

Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and on maturity. The Company has the option, to pay interest equal to either:

the aggregate borrowing rate (“ABR”), determined by reference to the highest of:
a.the “United States Prime Lending Rate” published by The Wall Street Journal,
b.the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% per annum, and
c.the one-month Eurodollar Rate, plus 1.00% per annum, which shall, regardless of rate used, be no less than 2.0% per annum, or
a Eurodollar Rate for a specified period appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, which shall be no less than 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin is initially 7.75% per annum for ABR borrowings and 8.75% per annum for Eurodollar Rate borrowings, and in each case, from and after the delivery of the applicable financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, the applicable margin shall then be:

for ABR borrowings, either:
a.7.75% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00 or
b.7.25% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 and
for Eurodollar Rate borrowings, either:
a.8.75% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00 or

b.8.25% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

The Parent Term Loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that provide a guaranty under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2019 (as amended on August 28, 2019 and on February 28, 2020, the “Existing Revolving Credit Agreement”) among, inter alia, the Company, the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Dart Term Loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Term Loan includes a financial covenant as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, as to compliance with laws, delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements, restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments and other customary covenants. The Term Loan includes events of default relating to customary matters (and customary notice and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events.

Credit Agreement

On March 29, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tupperware Nederland B.V., Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), amended and restated their multicurrency Credit Agreement (as further amended via an Amendment No. 1 dated August 28, 2019, the “Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as syndication agents, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement replaced the credit agreement dated September 11, 2013, and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”), and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary
24

Table of contents
Borrowers a committed credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50.0 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100.0 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and the Facility Amount is available to the Subsidiary Borrowers up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325.0 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to three occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850.0 million), subject to certain conditions. Total Credit Agreement borrowings included Euro denominated debt of $96.6 million and $160.3 million as of June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively.

Loans made under the Credit Agreement will be composed of (i) “Eurocurrency Borrowings”, bearing interest determined in reference to the LIBOR or the EURIBOR rate for the applicable currency and interest period, plus a margin, and/or (ii) “ABR Borrowings”, bearing interest at the sum of (A) the greatest of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the NYFRB rate plus 0.5 percent, and (z) adjusted LIBOR on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) for a deposit in United States Dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1.0 percent, and (B) a margin. The applicable margin in each case will be determined by reference to a pricing schedule and will be based upon the better for the Company of (a) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (computed as consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to the consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters then most recently ended) for the fiscal quarter referred to in the quarterly or annual financial statements most recently delivered, or (b) the Company’s then existing long-term debt securities rating by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Financial Services, Inc. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for ABR Borrowings ranges from 0.375 percent to 0.875 percent, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings ranges from 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent, and the applicable margin for the commitment fee ranges from 0.150 percent to 0.275 percent. Loans made under the swingline facility will bear interest, if denominated in United States Dollars, at the same rate as an ABR Borrowing and, if denominated in another currency, at the same rate as a Eurocurrency Borrowing. As of June 26, 2021, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 1.70 percent with a base rate spread of 163 basis points on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement that has a final maturity date of March 29, 2024.

Similar to the Old Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to incur indebtedness and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to create liens on and sell assets, engage in certain liquidations or dissolutions, engage in certain mergers or consolidations, or change lines of business. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.

On February 28, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) in order to modify certain provisions, including the consolidated leverage ratio covenant. Previously, the Company had to maintain, at specified measurement periods, a Consolidated Leverage Ratio that was not greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. Following the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain at the last day of each quarterly measurement period a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not greater than or equal to the ratio as set forth below opposite the period that includes such day (or, if such day does not end on the last day of the calendar quarter, that includes the last day of the calendar quarter that is nearest to such day):

Under the Credit Agreement and consistent with the Old Credit Agreement, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”) unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers relating to the Credit Agreement, supported by a security interest in certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks. The Amendment eliminated the requirement that a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must occur before the Company is required to cause the Additional Guarantee and Collateral Requirement, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to be satisfied. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to cause certain of its domestic subsidiaries to become guarantors and the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are required to pledge additional collateral (the “Additional Guarantee and Collateral”).

Table of contents
For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. The Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to prevent the Company from exceeding the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2020, and continuing through the calculation for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2021. If the Company had exceeded the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, this could have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross-default under cross-default provisions with respect to other of the Company’s debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, exercise certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and require the Company to post cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit. In addition to the relief provided in the Amendment, the Company has reduced certain operating expenses beginning in 2020 and could use available cash, including repatriating cash held outside of the United States, to make debt repayments to lower its Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances.

At June 26, 2021, the Company had $205.3 million of unused lines of credit, including $163.7 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $41.6 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

Senior Notes

The Company had $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) outstanding as of March 28, 2020. The Senior Notes were to mature on June 1, 2021. The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture, by and among the Company, the Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee.

During the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020 the Company retired its Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million through tender offers, open-market purchases, and redemption by using cash on hand and the proceeds from the Term Loan received in December 2020. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $40.0 million, $9.9 million and a loss on debt extinguishment of $9.7 million in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively.

Note 17: Leases

The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, office space, and manufacturing and distribution facilities, and recognizes the associated lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to five years, or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's discretion and renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised have been included in the lease term. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain lease agreements held by the Company include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

During the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, approximately $2.8 million and $0.7 million of pretax losses were reclassified from other comprehensive income to a component of net periodic (benefit) cost, respectively. As they relate to non-U.S. plans, the Company uses current exchange rates to make these reclassifications. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is included on the net amortization line of the table above. The Company included $3.0 million and $0.4 million related to the components of net periodic (benefit) cost, excluding service cost, in other (income) expense, net in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively.

Note 19: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and certain subsidiaries are involved in litigation and various legal matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. Included among these matters are environmental issues. The Company does not include estimated future legal costs in accruals recorded related to these matters. The Company believes that it is remote that the Company's contingencies will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Kraft Foods, Inc., which was formerly affiliated with Premark International, Inc., the Company's former parent, has assumed any liabilities arising out of certain divested or discontinued businesses. The liabilities assumed include matters alleging product liability, environmental liability, and infringement of patents.

In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. While the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 2, 2021, and the motion to dismiss was fully briefed on June 7, 2021. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Table of contents

Additionally, several putative stockholders filed stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The cases were consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on August 5, 2020. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims against certain current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution for violations of the securities laws based on allegations that the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the second motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. A similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. The parties reached an agreement to stay this action pending the resolution of the second motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Leases

Lease costs for operating leases and approximate minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are disclosed in Note 17: Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Leases, including the minimum rental commitments for 2021 and 2022, primarily are for automobiles that generally have a lease term of 1 year to 4 years, with the remaining leases related to office, manufacturing and distribution space. It is common for lease agreements to contain various provisions for items such as step rent or other escalation clauses and lease concessions, which may offer a period of no rent payment. These types of items are considered by the Company, and are recorded into expense on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease terms. There are no material lease agreements containing renewal options. Certain leases require the Company to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance.

Note 20: Fair Value Measurements

Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, leased assets and liabilities, and short-term borrowings approximated their fair values at June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020.

The fair value of the Term Loan is classified as a level 2 liability and is estimated using a market approach by comparing the Company’s debt with the secured debt of other companies that have a similar credit rating and debt amount.

The fair value of the Term Loan was as follows:

Note 21: Segment Information

The Company manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of products, primarily through the Sales Force. Certain operating segments have been aggregated based upon consistency of economic substance, geography, products, production process, class of customers, and distribution method.

The Company's reportable segments primarily sell design-centric preparation, storage, and serving solutions for the kitchen and home through the Tupperware brand name. Europe (Europe, Africa and Middle East) also includes the Avroy Shlain (also see Note 13: Divestitures regarding the sale of Avroy Shlain business) brand name in South Africa and the Nutrimetics brand name in France, which sell beauty and personal care products. The Company sold the Avroy Shlain beauty business for net cash of $30.5 million in February 2021. Some units in Asia Pacific also sell beauty and personal care products under the NaturCare, Nutrimetics and Fuller brand names. North America also includes the Fuller Mexico beauty and personal care products business and sells products under the Fuller Cosmetics brand name in that unit and in Central America. South America also sells beauty products under the Fuller, Nutrimetics and Nuvo brand names. Worldwide sales of beauty and personal care products totaled $55.8 million and $51.0 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $110.7 million and $104.7 million in the respective year-to-date periods.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the 26 weeks ended June 26, 2021, compared with the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, and changes in financial condition during the 26 weeks ended June 26, 2021. This information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Overview

The Company is a leading global consumer products company that designs innovative, functional, and environmentally responsible products. Founded in 1946, the Company's signature container created the modern food storage category that revolutionized the way the world stores, serves, and prepares food. Today, this iconic brand has more than 8,500 functional design and utility patents for solution-oriented kitchen and home products. The Company distributes its products into nearly 80 countries primarily through approximately 3.2 million independent Sales Force members around the world. Worldwide, the Company engages in the marketing, manufacture, and sale of design-centric preparation, storage, and serving solutions for the kitchen and home through the Tupperware brand name. The Company primarily uses a direct selling business model to distribute and market products through personal connections, product demonstrations, and understanding of consumer needs. The Company has also engaged in expanding the reach of the brand through the enhancement of digital platforms to sell and market products as well as exploring business-to-business distribution channels. With a purpose to nurture a better future, the Company's products offer an alternative to single-use items and through the direct selling channel, the Company offers individuals an opportunity to build a business as a meaningful way to make money and impact women, families and communities around the world.

The Company is executing on a growth strategy leveraging the consumer acceptance of the iconic Tupperware brand. This growth strategy is rooted in growing and digitizing the direct selling business, expanding into new categories, increasing consumer access points and growing the Company’s distribution channels. The Company’s Turnaround Plan is intended to bring sustainable growth for the Company, and for several quarters of 2020 and 2021, the Company has seen progress against this plan through efforts like cost savings initiatives, the divestiture of non-core assets including real estate, the enhancement of internal process and controls across the global business, introduction of social selling tools for Company’s global Sales Force, and product innovations to address the needs of various consumer and socioeconomic segments.

As the impacts of foreign currency translation are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes the presentation of results on a local currency basis, as a supplement to reported results, helps improve the readers’ ability to understand the Company’s operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been used to translate results in the prior period. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance. The Company generally refers to such amounts as calculated on a "local currency" basis, or "excluding the foreign exchange impact". These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The negative impact of COVID-19 on net sales in the second quarter of 2021 was mainly the result of partial or country-wide lockdowns of operations in various markets which affected financial results and liquidity. While the duration and severity of this pandemic continues to be uncertain, the Company currently expects that its results of operations in the third quarter of 2021 may also be impacted by COVID-19. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, availability and distribution of vaccines, new variants of the virus, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Estimates included herein are those of the Company’s management and are subject to the risks and uncertainties as described in the section titled Forward-Looking Statements in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Net Sales

Net sales were $464.7 million and $397.4 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales increased $42.4 million or 10 percent, primarily due to:

Argentina, from increased Sales Force activity and productivity, and higher prices due to inflation
Brazil, reflecting higher Sales Force activity
Fuller Mexico and Tupperware Mexico, from higher recruiting and Sales Force activity
South Africa, from higher recruiting and Sales Force activity, as the country was in partial lockdown for most of the second quarter of 2020
the United States and Canada, reflecting higher productivity and leveraging of digital tools
partially offset by China, reflecting a net reduction in studio openings and lower productivity from a shift to mid-priced products from premium priced products due to lower consumer spending trends , and to the divestiture of the Avroy Shlain business in the first quarter of 2021

The negative impact to net sales in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of COVID-19 is estimated at 2 percent. Excluding the impact of COVID-19 and the divestiture of the Avroy Shlain beauty business, net sales increased 5% in the second quarter. The average impact of higher prices was approximately 3 percent in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 2020.

The Company continues to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on its sales and has taken several steps to mobilize its resources to ensure adequate liquidity, business continuity and employee safety during this pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, the Company has seen a rapid adoption of digital tools and techniques by its Sales Force, which allows them to reach and sell product solutions to more customers than ever before. This, along with new sales and marketing techniques, resulted in an 11 percent increase in the Company's core sales (defined as net sales excluding business-to-business sales) excluding foreign exchange impact as compared with the second quarter of 2020.

Net sales were $925.0 million and $773.3 million in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales increased $118.6 million or 15 percent, primarily due to:

Argentina from increase in Sales Force activity, productivity and higher prices due to inflation
Brazil, from higher Sales Force activity
Malaysia and Singapore, and the United States and Canada, driven by higher recruiting and a more active Sales Force
Tupperware Mexico, from higher recruiting and Sales Force activity
partially offset by lower sales in Asia Pacific, mainly in China from a net reduction in studio openings and lower productivity, and to the divestiture of the Avroy Shlain business in the first quarter of 2021

A more detailed discussion of the sales results by segment is included in the segment results section in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As discussed in Note 3: Promotional Costs to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, the Company includes certain promotional costs in selling, general and administrative expense. As a result, the Company's net sales may not be comparable with other companies that treat these costs as a reduction of net sales.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $316.0 million and $263.9 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 68.0 percent and 66.4 percent in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of 1.6 percentage points ("pp") is primarily due to:

lower overall manufacturing costs, driven by Europe
lower inventory obsolescence costs in North America and South America
partially offset by higher overall resin costs, driven by South America

Gross margin was $639.3 million and $510.1 million in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 69.1 percent and 66.0 percent in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The increase of 3.1 pp is primarily due to:

lower overall manufacturing costs, driven by Europe
partially offset by higher overall resin costs, driven by South America

35

Table of contents
The Company expects resin costs to continue to increase in the third quarter which may negatively impact the Company's gross margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $234.9 million and $208.1 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was 50.5 percent and 52.4 percent in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 1.9pp decrease is primarily due to:

lower administration and other expenses mainly due to the reversal of $10.4 million non-income tax reserves in Brazil connected to a legal dispute over double taxation based on a final Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Company in the second quarter of 2021, and to lower professional services fees supporting business turnaround efforts; partially offset by the absence of a gain related to the repatriation of cash from Argentina in the second quarter of 2020
lower selling expenses mainly from lower allowance for credit losses, primarily in France and Germany
partially offset by higher distribution costs, primarily related to higher outbound freight in the United States and Canada and higher warehousing costs in Australia and New Zealand, China, and the United States and Canada, and higher investments in marketing and digital talent, infrastructure and systems needs to support the growth strategy, and investments in the optimization of the Company's global tax structure

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $484.3 million and $451.0 million in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was 52.4 percent and 58.3 percent in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The 5.9pp decrease is primarily due to:

lower administration and other expenses mainly due to: the reversal of $10.4 million non-income tax reserves in Brazil connected to a legal dispute over double taxation based on a final Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Company in the second quarter of 2021; enterprise award from the local government in China which was received in the first quarter of 2021, but initially expected in the fourth quarter of 2020; lower professional services fees supporting business turnaround efforts; partially offset by the absence of a gain related to the repatriation of cash from Argentina in the second quarter of 2020
lower regional operating costs in Europe driven by the benefits from organizational realignment actions in 2020
lower promotional expenses reflecting the benefits from implementation of right-sizing initiatives related to the Turnaround Plan and cancellation of certain events and travel due to COVID-19, primarily in China, Iberia, Italy, Tupperware Mexico, and the United States and Canada
lower selling expenses mainly from lower allowance for credit losses, primarily in France and Germany
partially offset by higher distribution costs, primarily related to higher outbound freight in the United States and Canada

The Company segregates selling, general and administrative expense into allocated and unallocated expenses based upon the estimated time spent managing segment operations. The allocated expenses are then apportioned on a local currency basis to each segment based primarily upon segment net sales. The unallocated expenses reflect amounts unrelated to segment operations. Selling, general and administrative expense to be allocated is determined at the beginning of the year based upon estimated expenditures.

Unallocated expenses were an expense of $16.1 million and an income of $28.5 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $44.6 million increase is primarily due to:

loss on debt extinguishment of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a gain on debt extinguishment of $40.0 million in 2020
lower fees for professional services firms supporting the Turnaround Plan efforts

Unallocated expenses were an expense of $36.6 million and income of $4.6 million in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The $41.2 million increase is primarily due to:

loss on debt extinguishment of $8.1 million in 2021, compared to a gain on debt extinguishment of $40.0 million in 2020
partially offset by lower for professional services fees to firms supporting the Turnaround Plan efforts and CEO transition costs

As discussed in Note 2: Shipping and Handling Costs to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, the Company includes distribution costs of its products in selling, general and administrative expense. As a result, the Company’s gross margin may not be comparable with other companies which include this expense in cost of products sold.

Re-engineering Charges

36

Table of contents
Re-engineering charges were $4.7 million and $23.2 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively and $7.8 million and $27.1 million in the respective year-to-date periods. The multi-year decline in revenue through 2019 and the evaluation of the Company's operating structure led to actions designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiency and otherwise turnaround the business. These actions often result in re-engineering charges related to headcount reductions and to facility down-sizing and closure, other costs that may be necessary in light of the revised operating landscape include structural changes impacting how the Company's Sales Force operates, as well as related asset write-downs. The Company may recognize gains or losses upon disposal of excess facilities or other activities directly related to its re-engineering efforts. These re-engineering charges were mainly related to the transformation program, which was announced in January 2019 and re-assessed in December 2019 (collectively the “Turnaround Plan”).

The re-engineering charges were:

The key elements of the Turnaround Plan include: increasing the Company's right-sizing plans to improve profitability, accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet, restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity, and structurally fixing the Company’s core business to create a more sustainable business model. The Turnaround Plan charges primarily related to severance costs and outside consulting services. The Company expects to incur $10.0 million to $15.0 million of additional Turnaround Plan charges in 2021.

Refer to Note 5: Re-engineering Charges to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements for further information.

(Gain) Loss on Disposal of Assets

(Gain) loss on disposal of assets was a loss of $0.5 million and a gain of $13.9 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and gains of $8.2 million and $13.8 million in the respective year-to-date periods. The 2021 year-to-date gain included the sale of a manufacturing plant in France and the sale of the Avroy Shlain business. The 2020 quarter-to-date and year-to-date gain included the sale of a manufacturing and distribution facility in Australia.

(Gain) Loss on Debt Extinguishment

(Gain) Loss on debt extinguishment was a loss of $6.0 million and a gain of $40.0 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a loss of $8.1 million and a gain of $40.0 million in the respective year-to-date periods. The Company made Term Loan repayments of $34.0 million and $67.2 million during the first and second quarter of 2021, respectively. The loss on debt extinguishment of $2.1 million and $6.0 million in the first and second quarter of 2021, respectively, was primarily due to costs incurred for the Term Loan repayments. During the second quarter ended June 27, 2020 the Company paid approximately $56.4 million for the purchase of Senior Notes with a face value of approximately $98.7 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain on debt extinguishment (including costs associated with the Senior Notes repurchase) of $40.0 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $9.7 million and $12.1 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $21.5 million and $22.3 million in the respective year-to-date periods. The decrease in interest expense is related to lower Credit Agreement borrowing costs, which was partially offset by higher amortization expense for the Term Loan unamortized debt issuance costs.

Interest Income

Interest income was $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million in the respective year-to-date periods. Interest income is related to the interest earned on the Company's cash balances.

Other (Income) expense, net

Other (income) expense, net was expense of $1.4 million and income of $8.0 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and expense of $1.2 million and income of $10.1 million in the respective year-to-date periods. The Company records foreign currency translation impacts and pension costs in this line item.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Provision (benefit) for income taxes was a provision of $23.5 million and $18.8 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and provision of $44.3 million and $18.3 million in the respective year-to-date periods. The effective tax rate was 39.8 percent and 22.8 percent in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate, was primarily due to:

non-recurring gain from debt extinguishment in the second quarter of 2020 that was offset with previously reserved assets
continued unfavorable losses in 2021 as compared to 2020 in the United States that currently have no tax benefit, and an unfavorable adjustment related to a continued limitation of interest expense deductions requiring a valuation allowance
change in jurisdictional mix of earnings

Refer to Note 6: Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements for further information.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) was income of $35.6 million and $63.8 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and income of $80.9 million and $56.0 million in the respective year-to-date periods. See above discussion for the main drivers of changes in net income (loss). A more detailed discussion of the results by segment is included in the segment results section below.

Net sales were $124.6 million and $134.4 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales decreased $19.4 million or 14 percent, primarily due to:

Australia and New Zealand mainly from lower Sales Force activity and delays in product shipment due to the relocation of its warehouse
China, from a net reduction in studio openings and lower productivity from a shift to mid-priced products from premium priced products due to lower consumer spending trends
Indonesia, mainly from disruption of Sales Force activities and lower consumer spending, negatively impacted by COVID-19
partially offset by Malaysia and Singapore, mainly from a more active and productive Sales Force

The COVID-19 impact to net sales is estimated at negative 2 percent in the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the estimated impact of COVID-19 from the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, net sales would have decreased 19%. The average impact of higher prices was approximately 5 percent in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 2020.

Segment profit was $28.8 million and $34.4 million in the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, segment profit decreased $8.5 million, primarily due to:

partially offset by impact of higher sales volume, mainly from Malaysia and Singapore

Net sales were $249.9 million and $254.8 million in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales decreased $22.6 million or 8 percent, due to factors largely mirroring those of the quarter.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's net working capital position increased by $22.0 million compared with the end of 2020. Excluding foreign exchange impact, net working capital increased $14.0 million, primarily reflecting:

a $51.3 million increase in inventory due to changes in net sales and higher anticipated demand,
a $38.5 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
a $21.5 million increase in non-trade accounts receivable, net due to increase in Mexico income tax and value added tax receivable, and to an increase in the net hedge receivable position

On February 26, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company’s credit rating from BB+ to B and placed all of its ratings on Credit Watch with negative implication. On February 27, 2020 Moody’s downgraded the Company’s credit rating from Baa3 to B1. Subsequent to those dates, the Company’s credit ratings have changed further by S&P and Moody’s, with S&P’s rating of the Company currently at B with a positive outlook, and Moody’s rating of the Company currently at B3 with a stable outlook. If the Company faces downgrades in its credit rating, the Company could also experience further strains on its liquidity and capital resources, higher cost of capital and decreased access to capital markets.

On December 3, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, entered into the following term loan credit facilities with the Company and its affiliates:

a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million with the Company as borrower (the “Parent Term Loan”); and
a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million with Dart Industries, Inc. as borrower and the Company as borrower (the “Dart Term Loan” and, together with the Parent Term Loan, the “Term Loan”).

The Company used the aggregate borrowings of $275.0 million from the Term Loan and cash on hand to retire outstanding Senior Notes (as defined below). The Term Loan has an original issue discount and commitment fee of 4.5% or $12.4 million which has been recorded as a contra liability to the carrying value of the Term Loan and is included in the unamortized debt issuance costs balance noted above. The original issue discount and related debt issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the Term Loan. The Term Loan matures on December 3, 2023. The Company has prepayment options, as well as mandatory prepayments at the option of the
48

Table of contents
Lenders. The prepayments have premium protections depending on the timing of the prepayment and the source of cash used for prepayment.

Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and on maturity. The Company has the option, to pay interest equal to either:

the aggregate borrowing rate (“ABR”), determined by reference to the highest of:
a.the “United States Prime Lending Rate” published by The Wall Street Journal,
b.the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% per annum, and
c.the one-month Eurodollar Rate, plus 1.00% per annum, which shall, regardless of rate used, be no less than 2.0% per annum, or
a Eurodollar Rate for a specified period appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, which shall be no less than 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin is initially 7.75% per annum for ABR borrowings and 8.75% per annum for Eurodollar Rate borrowings, and in each case, from and after the delivery of the applicable financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, the applicable margin shall then be:

for ABR borrowings, either:
a.7.75% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00 or
b.7.25% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 and
for Eurodollar Rate borrowings, either:
a.8.75% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00 or
b.8.25% per annum, if the consolidated leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

The Parent Term Loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that provide a guaranty under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2019 (as amended on August 28, 2019 and on February 28, 2020, the “Existing Revolving Credit Agreement”) among, inter alia, the Company, the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Dart Term Loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Term Loan includes a financial covenant as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, as to compliance with laws, delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements, restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments and other customary covenants. The Term Loan includes events of default relating to customary matters (and customary notice and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events.

Credit Agreement

On March 29, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tupperware Nederland B.V., Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), amended and restated their multicurrency Credit Agreement (as further amended via an Amendment No. 1 dated August 28, 2019, the “Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as syndication agents, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Agreement replaced the credit agreement dated September 11, 2013, and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”), and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers a committed credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50.0 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100.0 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and the Facility Amount is available to the Subsidiary Borrowers up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325.0 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to three occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850.0 million), subject to certain conditions. Total Credit Agreement borrowings included Euro denominated debt of $96.6 million and $160.3 million as of June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively.

Loans made under the Credit Agreement will be composed of (i) “Eurocurrency Borrowings”, bearing interest determined in reference to the LIBOR or the EURIBOR rate for the applicable currency and interest period, plus a margin, and/or (ii) “ABR Borrowings”, bearing interest at the sum of (A) the greatest of (x) the Prime Rate, (y) the NYFRB rate plus 0.5 percent, and (z) adjusted LIBOR on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) for a deposit in United States Dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1.0 percent, and (B) a margin. The applicable margin in each case will be determined by reference to a pricing schedule and will be based upon the better for the Company of (a) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (computed as consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to the consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters then most recently ended) for the fiscal quarter referred to in the quarterly or annual financial statements most recently delivered, or (b) the Company’s then existing long-term debt securities rating by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Financial Services, Inc. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for ABR Borrowings ranges from 0.375 percent to 0.875 percent, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings ranges from 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent, and the applicable margin for the commitment fee ranges from 0.150 percent to 0.275 percent. Loans made under the swingline facility will bear interest, if denominated in United States Dollars, at the same rate as an ABR Borrowing and, if denominated in another currency, at the same rate as a Eurocurrency Borrowing. As of June 26, 2021, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 1.70 percent with a base rate spread of 163 basis points on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement that has a final maturity date of March 29, 2024.

Similar to the Old Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to incur indebtedness and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to create liens on and sell assets, engage in certain liquidations or dissolutions, engage in certain mergers or consolidations, or change lines of business. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.

On February 28, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) in order to modify certain provisions, including the consolidated leverage ratio covenant. Previously, the Company had to maintain, at specified measurement periods, a Consolidated Leverage Ratio that was not greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. Following the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain at the last day of each quarterly measurement period a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not greater than or equal to the ratio as set forth below opposite the period that includes such day (or, if such day does not end on the last day of the calendar quarter, that includes the last day of the calendar quarter that is nearest to such day):

Under the Credit Agreement and consistent with the Old Credit Agreement, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”) unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers relating to the Credit Agreement, supported by a security interest in certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks. The Amendment eliminated the requirement that a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must occur before the Company is required to cause the Additional Guarantee and Collateral Requirement, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to be satisfied. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to cause certain of its domestic subsidiaries to become guarantors and the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are required to pledge additional collateral (the “Additional Guarantee and Collateral”).

For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. The Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to prevent the Company from exceeding the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2020, and continuing through the calculation for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2021. If the Company had exceeded the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, this could have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross-default under cross-default provisions with respect to other of the Company’s debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, exercise certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and require the Company to post cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit. In addition to the relief provided in the Amendment, the Company has reduced certain operating expenses beginning in 2020 and could use available cash, including repatriating cash held outside of the United States, to make debt repayments to lower its Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances.

At June 26, 2021, the Company had $205.3 million of unused lines of credit, including $163.7 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $41.6 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

Senior Notes

The Company had $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) outstanding as of March 28, 2020. The Senior Notes were to mature on June 1, 2021. The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture, by and among the Company, the Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee.

During the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020 the Company retired its Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million through tender offers, open-market purchases, and redemption by using cash on hand and the proceeds from the Term Loan received in December 2020. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $40.0 million, $9.9 million and a loss on debt extinguishment of $9.7 million in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively.

Cash

51

Table of contents
The Company monitors the third-party depository institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents with an emphasis primarily on safety and liquidity of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. The Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents among counterparties, which minimizes exposure to any one of these entities. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to financial market risk resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, and the possible liquidity and credit risks of its counterparties. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital, capital spending needs and current and anticipated restructuring actions. This liquidity includes a cash and cash equivalents balance of $107.3 million as of June 26, 2021, cash flows from operating activities, and access to its Credit Agreement, as well as access to other various uncommitted lines of credit around the world. The Company has not experienced any limitations on its ability to access its committed facility.

Cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 26, 2021 includes $106.7 million held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the cash held outside the United States, less than 1 percent was deemed ineligible for repatriation. Other than deferred tax liability of $11.0 million for the withholding tax liability for future distribution of unrepatriated foreign earnings, no United States federal income taxes or other foreign taxes have been recorded related to permanently reinvested earnings.

The Company’s most significant foreign currency exposures include:

Brazilian Real
Chinese Renminbi
Indonesian Rupiah
Malaysian Ringgit
Mexican Peso
South African Rand

Business units in which the Company generated at least $100.0 million of sales in 2020 included:

Brazil
China
Fuller Mexico
Tupperware Mexico
the United States and Canada

A significant downturn in the Company’s business in these units would adversely impact its ability to generate operating cash flows. Operating cash flows would also be adversely impacted by significant difficulties in the additions to and retention and activity of the Company’s independent Sales Force or the success of new products, promotional programs, and/or changes in Sales Force compensation programs. See also Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities was an inflow of $1.4 million and $45.3 million in the year-to-date period ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The net unfavorable comparison was primarily due to:

an increase in inventory due to changes in net sales and due to higher anticipated demand
lower accrued liabilities from lower deferred revenue, primarily in the United States and Canada, and lower management incentive bonus accruals due to payment of the 2020 bonus in 2021
higher cash tax payments due to the absence of the 2020 tax payment deferrals in connection with COVID-19
partially offset by higher segment profit

Since 2007, the Company has spent $1.39 billion to repurchase 23.8 million shares under this program. On June 21, 2021 the Company’s board of directors authorized stock repurchases of up to $250.0 million of the Company’s common stock. No stock repurchases were done after 2018.

Stock repurchases under the Company’s incentive plans are made when employees use shares to satisfy the minimum statutorily required withholding taxes. In the year-to-date period ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, 101,005 and 1,699 shares were retained to fund withholding taxes, totaling $2.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company may be impacted by interest rate changes on its borrowings. The Company accesses the short-term and long-term markets to obtain financing. Access to, and the availability of acceptable terms and conditions of such financing are impacted by many factors, including: credit ratings, liquidity and volatility of the overall capital markets and the current state of the economy. The Company has elected to manage this risk through the maturity structure of its borrowings and the currencies in which it borrows.

Interest Rate Risk

Loans taken under the Credit Agreement are of a short duration and bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of four different base rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects LIBOR as its base rate. As of June 26, 2021, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 1.70 percent with a base rate spread of 163 basis points on its United States Dollar and Euro denominated LIBOR/EURIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it would phase-out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021, or if alternative rates or benchmarks will be adopted. Changes in the method of calculating LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative rate or benchmark, may adversely affect interest rates. The Company cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to LIBOR or the establishment of alternative rates or benchmarks. The Credit Agreement allows for the use of select alternative rates and benchmarks and based on the assessment of such rates and benchmarks, the Company does not expect a material impact from the phase-out of LIBOR.

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had total borrowings of $468.1 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, with $96.6 million denominated in Euro. If short-term interest rates varied by 10 percent, which in the Company’s case would mean short duration United States Dollar and Euro LIBOR, with all other variables remaining constant, the Company's annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted.

The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

A significant portion of the Company’s sales and profit come from its international operations. Although these operations are geographically dispersed, which partially mitigates the risks associated with operating in particular countries, the Company is subject to the usual risks associated with international operations. These risks include local political and economic environments and relations between foreign and United States governments.

Another economic risk of the Company is exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. The Company is not able to project, in any meaningful way, the effect of these possible fluctuations on translated amounts or future earnings. This is due to the Company’s constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the United States Dollar and the large number of currencies involved, although the Company’s most significant income and cash flow exposures are to the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renminbi, Indonesian Rupiah, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso and South African Rand.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company’s local product sourcing in many countries, a strengthening United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks associated with a portion of its investment in international operations. In addition to hedging against the balance sheet impact of changes in exchange rates, the hedge of investments in international operations also has the effect of hedging cash flow generated by those operations. The Company also hedges, with these instruments, certain other exposures to various currencies arising from amounts payable and receivable, non-permanent intercompany transactions and a portion of purchases forecasted for generally up to the following 15 months. The Company does not seek to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations on the translated value of the sales, profit or cash flow generated by its operations.

While the Company’s derivatives that hedge a portion of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries and its fair value hedges of balance sheet risks all work together to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. The net cash flow impact of these currency hedges was an outflow of $5.0 million and an inflow of $3.9 million, in the year-to-date periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020.

Table of contents
The United States Dollar equivalent of the Company’s most significant net open forward contracts as of June 26, 2021 were to purchase Japanese Yen worth $13.0 million, United States Dollars worth $11.2 million and to sell Canadian Dollars worth $13.7 million and Euros worth $11.2 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for United States Dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement, with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for United States Dollars. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company’s outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of June 26, 2021, the Company had a net derivative asset of $0.3 million related to its currency hedges under forward contracts. Currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on the Company’s cash flow upon the settlement of its forward contracts.

A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-United States Dollar currencies. The Company continuously monitors its foreign currency exposure and expects to enter into additional contracts to hedge exposure in the future. See further discussion regarding the Company’s hedging activities for foreign currency in Note 14: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

The Company is subject to credit risks relating to the ability of counterparties of hedging transactions to meet their contractual payment obligations. The risks related to creditworthiness and non-performance have been considered in the determination of fair value for the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company continues to closely monitor its counterparties and will take action, as appropriate and possible, to further manage its counterparty credit risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is also exposed to rising material prices in its manufacturing operations and, in particular, the cost of oil and natural gas-based resins, including the fact that in some cases resin prices are actually in, or are based on, currencies other than that of the unit buying the resin, which introduces a currency exposure that is incremental to the exposure to changing market prices. Resins are the primary material used in production of most Company products, and the Company estimates that 2021 cost of sales will include approximately $158.3 million for the cost of resin in the Tupperware brand products it produces and has contract manufactured. The Company uses many different kinds of resins in its products. About three-fourths of the value of its resin purchases are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil and natural gas). The remaining one-fourth of the value of its resin purchases is more highly engineered. With a comparable product mix and exchange rates, the Company estimates that a 10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company’s annual cost of sales by approximately $15.8 million compared with the prior year. The amount the Company pays for its resins is impacted by the relative changes in supply and demand. The Company partially manages its risk associated with rising resin costs by utilizing a centralized procurement function that is able to take advantage of bulk discounts while maintaining multiple suppliers, and also enters into short-term pricing arrangements. It also manages its margin through cash flow hedges in some cases when it purchases resin in currencies, or effectively in currencies, other than that of the purchasing unit. This is done through the pricing of its products, with price increases over time on its product offerings generally in line with consumer inflation in each market, and its mix of sales through its promotional programs and promotionally priced offers. It also, on occasion, makes advance material purchases to take advantage of current favorable pricing.

Real Estate Risk

The Company has a program to sell land held for development around the Company headquarters in Orlando, Florida. This program is exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the commercial real estate market, the ability to obtain all necessary government approvals, the success of attracting tenants for commercial or residential developments in the Orlando real estate market, obtaining financing and other general economic conditions, such as interest rate increases. Based on the variety of factors that impact the Company's ability to close sales transactions, it cannot predict when the program will be completed.

Investors should also be aware that while the Company does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, it should not be assumed that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted 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 Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of such date due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K/A filed on August 5, 2021 (the "Form 10-K/A"), the Company determined that it should not have concluded that certain adjustments recognized in the third quarter of 2019 were changes in estimates. New facts, information and data, that were first understood by management in the second quarter of 2021, resulted in management reassessing such 2019 adjustments and concluding that these adjustments were misstatements as a result of management override at Fuller Mexico. As discussed in Item 9A of the Form 10-K/A, management also reassessed its conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and determined the following material weaknesses exist at December 26, 2020, March 27, 2021 and June 26, 2021.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company identified material weaknesses in the control environment at its Mexico operations; specifically, with respect to information technology general controls, the Company did not maintain effective user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications and data to appropriate Company personnel at Tupperware Mexico; and there was override by local management of certain internal controls at the Tupperware Mexico and Fuller Mexico locations resulting in immaterial misstatements in net sales, accounts receivable, inventories, and accrued liabilities during the fiscal years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018 and each of the interim periods in those annual periods. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement to the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Based on these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 26, 2020, March 27, 2021 and June 26, 2021.

Remediation

During 2020 and the second quarter of 2021, the Company was able to remediate a number of control deficiencies related to the Tupperware Mexico location material weakness, in the areas of segregation of duties and user access, information technology configurations and settings, and information technology general controls.

During 2020, the Company has implemented remedial actions related to override of controls by local management at the Tupperware Mexico and Fuller Mexico locations as indicated below:

Termination of employees;
Restructuring of employee organizational structure and reporting lines;
Town-hall trainings in Mexico; and
Hiring of new global director of compliance in the second quarter of 2021, based in Mexico.

Table of contents
As the Company’s management continues to remediate the material weaknesses, the Company will take additional measures to address the un-remediated control deficiencies or may modify some of the remediation measures to improve the design and/or operating effectiveness of those controls. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable remediated controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. The Company expects that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2021, as previously communicated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2021 as described above that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries are pending. In addition to such proceedings, there are certain proceedings that involve the discharge of materials into, or otherwise relating to the protection of, the environment. Certain of such proceedings involve federal environmental laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as well as state and local laws. The Company has established reserves with respect to certain of such proceedings. Because of the involvement of other parties and the uncertainty of potential environmental impacts, the eventual outcomes of such actions and the cost and timing of expenditures cannot be determined with certainty. It is not expected that the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

As part of the 1986 reorganization involving the formation of Premark, Premark was spun-off by Dart & Kraft, Inc., and Kraft Foods, Inc. assumed any liabilities arising out of any legal proceedings in connection with certain divested or discontinued former businesses of Dart Industries Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, including matters alleging product and environmental liability. The assumption of liabilities by Kraft Foods, Inc. (now Mondelez International, Inc.) remains effective subsequent to the distribution of the equity of the Company to Premark shareholders in 1996.

In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. While the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 2, 2021, and the motion to dismiss was fully briefed on June 7, 2021. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Additionally, several putative stockholders filed stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The cases were consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on August 5, 2020. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims against certain current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution for violations of the securities laws based on allegations that the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the second motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. A similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. The parties reached an agreement to stay this action pending the resolution of the second motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is conducting an inquiry into our accounting practices relating to the Company’s Tupperware Mexico and Fuller Mexico locations. As disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2021 and Form 10-K/A filed on August 5, 2021 for the year ended December 26, 2020 and in Item 4. Controls and Procedures of Part I of this report, the Company has concluded that there are material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to such locations and the Mexico operations. The Company is fully cooperating with this SEC inquiry. As it is ongoing, the Company is unable to predict how long the inquiry will continue or whether, at its conclusion, the SEC will bring an enforcement action against the Company and, if it does, what fines or other remedies it may seek. Furthermore, publicity surrounding the inquiry or any enforcement action that may result from it could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

carefully consider the risks discussed below, together with the other information in this Report, including the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other reports and materials filed by the Company with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known by the Company or that are currently deemed immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

Technology and Cyber-Security

The Company relies extensively on information technology systems to conduct its business, some of which are managed by third-party service providers. These systems include, but are not limited to, programs and processes relating to internal communications and communications with other parties, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, receiving orders and shipping product to customers, billing customers and receiving and applying payments, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements, collecting and storing certain customer, employee, investor, and other stakeholder information and personal data, and other processes necessary to manage the Company’s business. Current and increased information technology security threats, and current and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a risk to the security of the information technology systems, networks, and services of the Company, its customers and other business partners, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data of the Company, its customers and other business partners. Furthermore, the risk of a cybersecurity incident is heightened as more of the Company's employees work remotely. 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 catastrophic events, power outages and security breaches. The Company has experienced various security threats and incidents, including, for example, email compromise events, malware, phishing, and non-compliance with internal security requirements and procedures, that have not had a material impact on the Company. Although the Company has business continuity plans in place, if these plans do not provide effective alternative processes on a timely basis, the Company may suffer interruptions in its ability to manage or conduct its operations, which may adversely affect its business. 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. Any business interruptions or data security breaches, including cyber-security breaches resulting in private data disclosure, could result in lawsuits or regulatory proceedings, damage the Company’s reputation or adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. While the Company maintains insurance coverage that could cover some of these types of issues, the coverage has limitations and includes deductibles such that it may not be adequate to offset losses incurred.

The Company could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems or software are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into its operations, as well as if the capacity and system limitations of the Company's information technology systems or software are exceeded due to the number of the Company's employees working from home during COVID-19 restrictions. Various measures have been implemented to manage the risks related to the implementation and modification of hardware and software, but any significant disruption or deficiency in the design and implementation of new or upgraded information technology systems or software could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations and could, if not successfully implemented, adversely impact the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is continuing to upgrade its systems on a worldwide basis, and as disclosed in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Company incurred a $30.5 million write-off of capitalized software implementation costs related to the front and back office standardization project that was initiated in 2017, due to a shift in the business model and digital strategy set forward by the new leadership team.
