Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 20, 2008, Jarden Corporation (the “Company”) and its insurance carriers reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs to settle the previously disclosed consolidated securities class action filed in 2006 against the Company, the Company’s Consumer Solutions subsidiary and certain officers of the Company alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with the Company’s public disclosure concerning its acquisition of The Holmes Group, Inc. in 2005. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company’s insurance carriers will pay $8 million into a settlement fund. The plaintiffs’ counsel will seek a portion of that fund to cover attorneys’ fees and expenses. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, will provide a full release of all defendants in connection with the allegations raised in the class action. The Company denies all of the allegations in the lawsuit and believes that its disclosures were appropriate under the law. Nevertheless, the Company has agreed to settle the litigation in order to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. There will be no earnings or cash effect of this settlement on the Company as the entire amount of the settlement will be paid by the Company’s liability insurers. The related shareholder derivative suit, which was filed in February 2006, was previously dismissed.
