DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-167574) (the “Registration Statement”) of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 16, 2010. The Registration Statement was filed in connection with the registration of 600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Spectrum Shares”), of the Registrant under the Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (formerly known as the Russell Hobbs, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Equity Award Plan), as amended (the “2007 Plan”).
 
Effective March 1, 2011, the Registrant suspended the issuances of new Spectrum Shares under the 2007 Plan and adopted, effective on such date, a new plan, the Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. 2011 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The Registration Statement is hereby amended to provide that the 329,000 Spectrum Shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan, which have not been issued (the “Unissued Shares”), are no longer issuable under the 2007 Plan and may now be issued under the 2011 Plan. A registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Spectrum Shares to be issued under the 2011 Plan, including the Unissued Shares, is being filed with the Commission concurrently with this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
 
The Registration Statement shall remain in effect for purposes of outstanding stock awards granted under the 2007 Plan.
