Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 1, 2013, MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc., (the "Purchaser") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to acquire all of the membership interests of WoodCrafters Home Products Holding, LLC ("WoodCrafters").  WoodCrafters, headquartered in Weslaco, Texas, is engaged in the manufacture of vanities and integrated sink basin tops.

The parties to the Purchase Agreement include the Purchaser, WoodCrafters, Tan U.S. Group, Inc. ("Tan"), Woodcrafters GP, LLC ("WGP"), and certain executives and membership interest holders of WoodCrafters (such executives and membership interest holders, together with Tan and WGP, the “Sellers”).  The purchase price for the membership interests is approximately $300 million, payable in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  A portion of the purchase price will be placed in escrow at closing to address working capital adjustments and indemnification claims.  The closing of the transaction is currently expected to occur prior to the end of 2013, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including anti-trust approval in the United States and Mexico.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of this nature.     

Subject to certain exceptions, terms and limitations, the Purchaser and Tan have agreed to indemnify and hold each other harmless for breaches or inaccuracies of certain representations or warranties, and any covenant non-compliance of, the Purchaser or Sellers, as applicable.  

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by either the Purchaser or Tan upon the occurrence of certain customary events as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has a material relationship with the Sellers, other than in respect of the Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the definitive agreement. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is expected to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2013. When filed, that Form 10-Q will also be available on the Company’s website at www.fbhs.com.
