**PART III - NARRATIVE**

*State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.* (Attach extra sheets if needed)

Tupperware Brands Corporation (the "Company") is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K") by the prescribed due date, without unreasonable effort or expense because it requires additional time to complete the Form 10-K, including the restatement of certain of its previously issued financial statements as described below.

On March 12, 2023, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation by the management of the Company and in consultation with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 26, 2020 and December 25, 2021, and the previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in 2021 and the first three quarters of 2022 (collectively, the "Relevant Periods"), as well as the associated press releases, were materially misstated and should be restated and no longer be relied upon because of the identification of material prior period misstatements.

To correct for such material misstatements, the Company will restate its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 26, 2020 and December 25, 2021, in connection with the filing of its Form 10-K. Restated financial information as of and for the impacted 2022 and 2021 quarterly and year-to-date periods will be included in the 2022 Form 10-K. The Company will effect the restatement of its 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements in connection with the future filings of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q in 2023.

To date, the misstatements that originated in periods prior to 2020 are expected to result in a $23-28 million reduction to the previously reported 2020 beginning retained earnings, with such reduction primarily resulting from misstatements related to income taxes. The Company also currently estimates that the net impact of the prior period misstatements on the restated financial statements will result in an increase in net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 26, 2020, and a decrease in net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the 2022 unaudited interim periods. However, such estimates are preliminary and are subject to change as the Company completes its financial close process, and such changes could be significant.

The Company also has determined that material weaknesses existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 in the following areas: The Company did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls were not sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement in financial reporting. This material weakness contributed to the following material weaknesses: (i) accounting for the completeness, occurrence, accuracy and presentation of income taxes, including the income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities; and (ii) completeness, accuracy and presentation of right of use assets and lease liabilities. There can be no assurance that additional material weaknesses will not be identified as the Company completes its financial close process.

Due to the time and effort required to complete the preparation of the restated consolidated financial statements for the Relevant Periods, the Company was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to complete and file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period. The Company is endeavoring to complete its financial close process and Form 10-K filing as promptly as possible; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file the Form 10-K within the extension period.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Form 12b-25 includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including with respect to the timing of the restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the Relevant Periods and the Company's ability to file the 2022 Form 10-K during the extension period. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: whether the Company will identify additional errors in previously issued financial statements and other risks identified in the Company's most recent filing on Form 10-K and other SEC filings, all of which are available on the Company's website. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements unless otherwise required by the federal securities laws.
