PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
| | | | | | | | |
| ☐ | (a) | The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense; |
| (b) | The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and |
| (c) | The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |
PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Tupperware Brands Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date.
The Company previously disclosed on Form 12b-25 dated March 29, 2024 that it would be unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period.
Due to the additional time needed to complete and file its 2023 Form 10-K, the Company will therefore be unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to complete and file the Q1 2024 Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period. The Company is endeavoring to complete its financial close process and file its 2023 Form 10-K and subsequently its Q1 2024 Form 10-Q as promptly as possible; however, there can be no assurance with respect to the timing of completion of the filings.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 12b-25 includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including with respect to the Company’s ability to file the 2023 Form 10-K and Q1 2024 Form 10-Q. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including risks identified in the Company’s most recent filing on its Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings, all of which are available on the Company’s website. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements unless otherwise required by the federal securities laws.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification |
| Mariela Matute | | 407 | | 826-8899 | | | | |
| (Name) | | (Area Code) | | (Telephone Number) | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? |
| If answer is no, identify report(s). | ☐ | Yes | ☒ | No |
| Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 | | | | |
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected |
| by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? | ☒ | Yes | ☐ | No |
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company is executing on its strategic turnaround plan, and as a result, has incurred one-time non-operating charges impacting its Q1 2024 results, in addition to a continuing decline in its underlying business, which will be reflected in its revenues and its results of operations for the quarter ended March 30, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended April 1, 2023. The Company is still completing its Q1 2024 financial close process, and continues to have substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern; therefore no reasonable quantitative estimate of the changes can be made at this time. |
