Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 13, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Jarden”) adopted a forum selection provision which is contained in an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”). Pursuant to this provision, which was added as a new Article Eight to the Bylaws, unless the Company consents to the selection of another forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of or for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or to the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or against any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) or the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as they may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or against any director or officer or other employee of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (a “Delaware State Court”) (or, if no Delaware State Court has jurisdiction in respect of any of the actions enumerated in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the U.S. federal district court for the District of Delaware (“Delaware Federal Court”)).

The adoption of new Article Eight of the Bylaws is expressly authorized by Section 115 of the DGCL and the Board believes that such adoption is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. New Article Eight of the Bylaws is intended to avoid unnecessary risk, uncertainty and expense from having to defend against potentially concurrent multi-jurisdictional litigation in, and to reduce the risk of potentially inconsistent rulings and misinterpretations of Delaware corporate law arising from, multiple (non-Delaware) courts in respect of the types of intra-corporate disputes and legal actions enumerated in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

The Board expects new Article Eight of the Bylaws to result in a more predictable outcome in the event of any future legal disputes and legal actions and to help avoid the unnecessary expenditure of Company resources, including financial resources and management time and attention. Importantly, new Article Eight of the Bylaws does not govern every category of legal action that could be brought against the Company or any of its directors, officers or other employees. Instead new Article Eight of the Bylaws provides only that the above-enumerated categories of intra-corporate disputes and legal actions must be commenced in the court (i.e., a Delaware State Court or Delaware Federal Court) that is most expert and experienced with adjudicating matters of Delaware corporate law, with the goal of obtaining a more cost-efficient, expeditious and effective resolution of such specified disputes and actions.

At the same time, new Article Eight of the Bylaws does not foreclose the ability, and preserves the flexibility, of the Company to consent to the selection of an additional non-Delaware forum for those legal actions (so long as such non-Delaware jurisdiction is not exclusive and such enumerated disputes and actions also may be commenced and maintained in a Delaware State Court, or if jurisdiction of a Delaware State Court is not available, the Delaware Federal Court).

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the complete text thereof filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.03.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

A copy of the joint press release referenced below is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The investor presentation to be used in connection with the teleconference referenced below is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 14, 2015, the Company and Newell Rubbermaid Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Newell Rubbermaid” or “Newell”) issued a joint press release announcing that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 13, 2015, by and among Newell, the Company, NCPF Acquisition Corp. I, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell (“Newell Merger Sub”), and NCPF Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell (“Successor Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Newell will combine with the Company in a series of merger transactions (the “Combination”).

Newell Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Jarden Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell. Immediately following the effectiveness of the Jarden Merger, the Company will merge with and into Successor Merger Sub, with Successor Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Successor Merger Sub Merger” and, together with the Jarden Merger, the “Combined Mergers”). As a result of the Combined Mergers, the Successor Merger Sub with the legacy business of the Company will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Newell. Following the consummation of the Combination, Newell will change its name to Newell Brands Inc.

Newell and the Company will be providing supplemental information regarding the Combination through a teleconference with analysts and investors.

ATLANTA and MIAMI, December 14, 2015 – Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) and Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to combine the two companies. The transaction creates a $16 billion consumer goods company to be named Newell Brands, with a portfolio of leading brands in large unconsolidated categories, including Paper Mate^®, Sharpie^®, EXPO^®, Parker^®, Elmer’s^®, Calphalon^®, Rubbermaid^®, Graco^®, Baby Jogger^®, Aprica^®, Goody^®, Irwin^®, Lenox^®, Rubbermaid Commercial Products^®, Coleman^®, First Alert^®, FoodSaver^®, Jostens^®, K2^®, NUK^®, Oster^®, Rawlings^®, Sunbeam^® and Yankee Candle^®. The scaled enterprise is expected to accelerate profitable growth with leading brands that compete in a global market that exceeds $100 billion, with business and capability development supported by the efficiencies of this transformational combination.

“The combination of these two great companies creates a $16 billion consumer goods company with incredible potential to grow and create value,” said Michael B. Polk, Newell Rubbermaid President and Chief Executive Officer. “The scale of our combined businesses in key categories, channels and geographies creates a much broader canvas on which to leverage our advantaged set of brand development and commercial capabilities for accelerated growth and margin expansion. I have long respected the value creation track record and entrepreneurial vision of Jarden’s founder, Martin E. Franklin, co-founder Ian G.H. Ashken, and their team led by Chief Executive Officer James E. Lillie. I want to congratulate Jim on his strong leadership of Jarden over the last twelve years and his work positioning the business for the opportunity ahead, and I look forward to working with Martin and Ian as we drive the new Newell Brands towards its aspiration of becoming one of the preeminent consumer goods companies in the world.”

Martin E. Franklin, Executive Chairman and Founder of Jarden, said “I am delighted that we are to play a part in bringing together these two winning companies. The combination offers significant value for our shareholders and the opportunity to participate in the combined company’s long-term value creation potential as shareholders in Newell Brands. I’m extremely proud of Jarden’s success over the past 14 years, which has been driven by an extraordinary culture designed to perform at a high level. We have spent significant time with Newell Rubbermaid’s senior management team and are convinced they have a similar ambition and drive. I’m excited by the opportunities for this new combined organization and I look forward to being part of this dynamic new chapter.”

James E. Lillie, Chief Executive Officer of Jarden, added, “This combination is focused on driving shareholder value and accelerating the growth and profitability of both businesses. Together, the business can move faster, globally leveraging the expertise and ability of the dedicated and talented employee base. The combined scale of both businesses will create opportunities for shareholders, customers and employees as the two businesses are very complementary in vision and in their ability to execute. I unequivocally support Mike and the combined teams in executing against the opportunity before us.”

Transaction Summary

Under the terms of the agreement, Jarden shareholders will receive, for each Jarden share, $21 in cash and 0.862 shares of Newell Rubbermaid stock at closing. Based on Newell Rubbermaid’s closing share price as of December 11, 2015, the implied total consideration would be $60 per share, which represents a 24 percent premium to Jarden’s 30-day volume weighted average share price as of December 11, 2015.

The transaction will be funded by cash on hand, debt and equity issued to Jarden shareholders; convertible bondholders will be entitled to convert in exchange for the merger consideration in conjunction with the transaction. Newell Rubbermaid has obtained a committed bridge facility, which it expects to replace with permanent financing prior to closing. Newell Brands intends to maintain its investment grade credit rating by using strong cash flow from the combined company to prioritize debt reduction in the short term towards a target leverage ratio of 3.0 to 3.5 times. Newell Brands expects to achieve the target ratio within two to three years, while simultaneously maintaining or increasing its dividend per share.

Newell Rubbermaid anticipates incremental annualized cost synergies of approximately $500 million over four years, driven by efficiencies of scale and new efficiencies in procurement, cost to serve and infrastructure that the combination unlocks. The company’s intent is to design a benchmarked, efficient set of structures that support long term business development. The transaction is projected to be immediately accretive with strong double-digit normalized earnings per share accretion post synergy realization.

The acquisition is subject to approval by shareholders of both Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden Corporation, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016.

Management and Governance

Upon the closing of the transaction, Newell Brands will be led by Michael B. Polk as Chief Executive Officer.

The Newell Brands Board of Directors will be expanded to include three representatives of the Jarden Board, including Martin E. Franklin, Founder and Executive Chairman of Jarden and Ian G. H. Ashken, Co-Founder, Vice Chairman and President of Jarden. The new thirteen member Newell Brands Board will be chaired by current Newell Rubbermaid non-executive Chairman Michael Cowhig.

Mark Tarchetti, currently Chief Development Officer, Newell Rubbermaid, will become the President of Newell Brands upon completion of the transaction, with an initial focus leading the integration of the companies, including synergy delivery, portfolio strategy and long-term business development plans such as accelerated market deployment of the brands at home and internationally. He will also be responsible for the creation of a number of enterprise-wide capabilities, including Design, Innovation, Insights, eCommerce, and Direct-to-Consumer commerce.

Bill Burke, currently Chief Operating Officer, Newell Rubbermaid, will lead the legacy Jarden business upon completion of the transaction, working closely with Richard Sansone, Jarden’s Executive Vice President of Operations and the senior leadership teams across the Jarden businesses to deliver the current business plans while working with Mark Tarchetti to insure the seamless transition of Jarden into Newell Brands.

“Given the magnitude of the opportunity ahead, I’m delighted that Bill and Mark will continue their partnership working with Rich and the great talent that Jarden brings to the combination. This is an important time, and the process of learning more about the brands, the people and the opportunities represented by the combined business is critical to realization of the full potential of the transformation,” said Polk.

As previously announced, Joe Arcuri will assume the role of Chief Commercial Officer, Newell Rubbermaid and Richard Davies will become Chief Development Officer, Newell Rubbermaid, both effective January 1, 2016.
