Cooperation Agreement with Legion Partners (10/30/18)

On October 28, 2018, Edgewell Personal Care Company (the “Company”), entered into an agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Legion Partners Asset Management, LLC and certain related investors (collectively, “Legion Partners”).

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company increased the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from 10 to 12 directors and appointed Robert W. Black and George Corbin (collectively, the “New Directors”) to fill the newly created directorships. Each of Mr. Black and Mr. Corbin will serve an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, and will be included in the Company’s slate of director nominees for re-election at the 2019 annual meeting.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company also agreed that the Board will determine in good faith prior to August 15, 2019 (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the Standstill Period (as defined below)) whether it would be in the best interests of the Company to reincorporate the Company from Missouri to Delaware. If the Board determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company to proceed with a reincorporation, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of such reincorporation by no later than the Company’s 2020 annual meeting (to be held no later than March 1, 2020), and if shareholder approval is obtained, to complete the reincorporation as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Company has also agreed to, prior to the Company’s 2019 annual meeting, implement a director resignation policy in connection with the Company’s majority voting standard.

Legion Partners has agreed to withdraw its submission of candidates for nomination at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting. In addition, the Cooperation Agreement requires Legion Partners to, at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting and at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders held prior to the date of termination of the Standstill Period, vote all of its shares of Company common stock in favor of the election of directors nominated by the Board and otherwise in accordance with the Board’s recommendation, subject to certain exceptions for extraordinary transactions, adoption of corporate defenses, compensation-related matters, and matters with a contrary recommendation from both Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC.

The Cooperation Agreement includes certain restrictions, applicable from October 28, 2018 until the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the last day of the advance notice period for the submission by shareholders of director nominations for the Company’s 2020 annual meeting, as set forth in the advance notice provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Standstill Period”). During the Standstill Period, Legion Partners is, among other things, restricted from engaging in any solicitation of proxies or written consents relating to the Company, acquiring any assets of the Company, or acquiring any voting stock that would result in Legion Partners having beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
