Tupperware Brands Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date, without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company requires additional time to:

a)
complete its investigation into certain accounting and financial reporting matters in its Fuller Mexico business, which is primarily focused on the accounting for accounts payable and accrued liabilities, in order to determine the impact these matters may have on its financial results. The Company also needs to complete its assessment of identified control deficiencies at this business to be able to reach a conclusion regarding the Company's effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting; and
b)
finalize its 2019 provision for income taxes, including the determination of the realizability of certain deferred tax assets.

The Company currently anticipates filing its Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.
