Tupperware Enters New Credit Agreement

Tupperware Brands announced today that in light of its improved operating results and pay down of approximately $150 million of debt since entering into its previous credit agreement in December 2005, it has entered into a new secured agreement with improved terms with a group of banks. The new credit agreement includes a $200 million revolving facility and $600 million in term loans, replacing the current agreement that also had a $200 million revolving facility and $601 million of term loans outstanding as of the end of the Company's second quarter. Similar to the previous agreement, it provides for floating rate borrowings but at a lower interest rate spread and with lower commitment fees. The Company estimates that the improved terms will result in lower cash interest expense of approximately $20 million over the agreement's five-year term, in comparison with interest that would have been incurred under the previous agreement. Other terms, including the debt covenants under the new agreement are comparable with the previous agreement.

In connection with the termination of the Company's previous credit agreement, in its third quarter ending September 29, 2007, it will record one- time costs of about $10 million, for the write off of deferred debt costs and the termination of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps.
