ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On June 15, 2007, David A. Jones, Chairman of the Board of Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a stock trading plan designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Mr. Jones, at the suggestion of his advisors, entered into his 10b5-1 plan to exercise and then sell the shares with respect to certain stock options that are set to expire on September 30, 2007 as part of his long-term strategy to diversify his assets.
Mr. Jones' plan allows a brokerage firm to sell a maximum of 149,195 shares of the Company's common stock through the exercise of certain stock options that have an exercise price of $4.39 held by Mr. Jones at specified times between August 13, 2007 and September 28, 2007 at predetermined price thresholds, unless the plan is terminated sooner.
Sales under Mr. Jones' plan are subject to the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Mr. Jones is required to report transactions made pursuant to his 10b5-1 trading plan to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Jones, as well as other Company directors and officers, may from time to time amend existing 10b5-1 plans or adopt additional 10b5-1 plans. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report 10b5-1 trading plans by other Company officers or directors, nor to report modifications, transactions or other activities under Mr. Jones' plan or the plan of any other officer or director.
