Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Effective October 16, 2006, the Company entered into time-based Restricted Stock Award Agreements with the non-employee members of the board of directors pursuant to the 2004 Rayovac Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Company granted its lead director, Thomas R. Shepherd, 8,297 shares of restricted common stock and each other non-employee director, John D. Bowlin, Charles A. Brizius, William P. Carmichael, John S. Lupo, Scott A. Schoen and Barbara S. Thomas, 6,833 shares of restricted common stock. All of the shares are subject to time-based restrictions. The restrictions on one-third of the shares are scheduled to lapse on December first of 2007, 2008 and 2009. In addition, the restrictions also lapse on all grants in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Plan. Upon the termination of a recipient's service with the Company for any reason, such recipient shall forfeit to the Company all shares for which restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of such termination.

 

The form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement pursuant to which the preceding restricted stock grants were made has been previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 7, 2005, and the preceding description of the terms of these restricted stock grants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of such agreement. The Restricted Stock Award Agreements incorporate the terms of the Plan, which was filed as Exhibit 10.24 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 27, 2004.
