Supplement to the Offer to Purchase

by

JARDEN CORPORATION

to

Increase the Cash Purchase Price to Not Greater than $36.00 per Share

Nor Less than $32.00 per Share

for

Up to $500 Million in Value of Shares of Its Common Stock

 

 

THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS

WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED

(SUCH DATE AND TIME, AS THEY MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”)

 

 

On January 26, 2012, Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Jarden,” “we,” “us” or “our”), distributed an offer to purchase (the “Original Offer to Purchase”) and a related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in connection with its invitation to stockholders to tender up to $500 million in value of shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), for purchase by us at a price not greater than $33.00 nor less than $30.00 per Share in a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer. The Company, by this supplement (this “Supplement,” and together with the Original Offer to Purchase, as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), amends the Original Offer to Purchase as follows. Each reference in the Original Offer to Purchase to the maximum purchase price per share or maximum Final Purchase Price under the Offer of “$33.00” is hereby amended by replacing it with “$36.00,” and each reference in the Original Offer to Purchase to the minimum purchase price per share or minimum Final Purchase Price under the Offer of “$30.00” is hereby amended by replacing it with “$32.00.”

As a result, we now invite our stockholders to tender up to $500 million in value of Shares for purchase by us at a price not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Amended Letter of Transmittal delivered herewith. The Offer is also amended to extend the expiration date until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012.

THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED ON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES BEING TENDERED. THE OFFER IS, HOWEVER, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN OTHER CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE FINANCING CONDITION. SEE SECTION 7.

The Shares are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “JAH.” We announced our intention to make the Offer, at a price not greater than $33.00 nor less than $30.00 per Share, on January 24, 2012 prior to market open. On January 24, 2012, which was the last full trading day prior to the commencement of the Offer, the last reported sale price of the Shares was $33.79 per Share. On February 17, 2012, which was the last full trading day prior to our announcement of our intention to increase the purchase price for the Shares and extend the expiration date of the Offer, the last reported sale price of the Shares was $34.51 per Share. Stockholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Shares before deciding whether and at what purchase price or purchase prices to tender their Shares. See Section 8.

THE OFFER HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SEC PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE OFFER OR UPON THE ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, AND ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL AND MAY BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.


IMPORTANT

To the holders of our common stock:

We have determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders, in light of market conditions, to increase the Final Purchase Price at which we may purchase Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer from a price not greater than $33.00 nor less than $30.00 per Share to a price not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share. We have also extended the Expiration Date for the Offer until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012.

As a result, we will select the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $500 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn (such purchase price, the “Final Purchase Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer. If, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value of less than $500 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. All Shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Final Purchase Price, including those Shares tendered at a price lower than the Final Purchase Price. Only Shares properly tendered at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price, and not properly withdrawn, will be purchased.

If you have not previously tendered Shares and you wish to tender all or any portion of your Shares, you should follow the instructions described in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase. You may tender your shares using the Amended Letter of Transmittal provided herewith and following the procedures for tendering shares set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

If you have previously tendered Shares, and you do not wish to withdraw the tender of all or any portion of those Shares, you do not need to take any further action in response to this Supplement. As a result of the increase in the minimum price from $30.00 per Share to $32.00 per Share, any Shares previously tendered into the Offer at any price below $32.00 per Share will now be deemed to have been tendered at $32.00 per Share.

If you have previously tendered Shares, and you wish to withdraw the tender of all or any portion of those Shares, please follow the procedures for withdrawal of tendered shares, as set forth in Section 5 of the Original Offer to Purchase.

If you have previously tendered Shares, and you wish either to increase the number of Shares tendered or change your indications of a specific price at which Shares are being tendered, please submit a new and later-dated Amended Letter of Transmittal containing your new instructions in accordance with the procedures contained in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase or, if your Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, follow the procedures given to you by such party or contact such party and request that your prior instructions with respect to your tendered Shares be changed.

This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Original Offer to Purchase. This Supplement, the Original Offer to Purchase and related Amended Letter of Transmittal, as each may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer.” Section references used in this Supplement refer to the Sections of the Original Offer to Purchase, as amended by this Supplement and as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Original Offer to Purchase.

Each reference in the Original Offer to Purchase to the maximum purchase price per share or maximum Final Purchase Price under the Offer being “$33.00” is hereby amended by replacing it with “$36.00,” and each reference to the minimum purchase price per share or minimum Final Purchase Price under the Offer being $30.00 is hereby amended by replacing it with “$32.00.” Accordingly, each reference

 

1


in the Original Offer to Purchase to a “price”, “purchase price” or “lowest single purchase price” being “not greater than $33.00 nor less than $30.00 per Share” shall be amended by replacing it with “not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share”, except with respect to references to the Company’s announcement on January 24, 2012 of its intention to make the Offer at a price “not greater than $33.00 nor less than $30.00 per Share”, which references shall not be amended.

Each reference to the number of Shares we could purchase if the Offer is fully subscribed at the maximum purchase price or maximum Final Purchase Price being “15,151,515” is hereby amended by replacing it with “13,888,888,” and each reference to the percentage of issued and outstanding Shares as of January 24, 2012 that such number of Shares represent is hereby amended by replacing “16.6%” with “15.2%.” Each reference to the number of Shares we could purchase if the Offer is fully subscribed at the minimum purchase price or minimum Final Purchase Price being “16,666,666” is hereby amended by replacing it with “15,625,000,” and each reference to the percentage of issued and outstanding Shares as of January 24, 2012 that such number of Shares represent is hereby amended by replacing “18.2%” with “17.1%.”

Each reference to the Letters of Transmittal shall be deemed to also include the Amended Letters of Transmittal delivered herewith. Each reference to Notice of Guaranteed Delivery shall be deemed to also include the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery delivered herewith.

Each reference in the Original Offer to Purchase to an expiration date or the Expiration Date is hereby amended by replacing “12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, February 23, 2012” with “12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012.”

Under the heading “Amendments to Specific Provisions,” below, we have indicated other provisions in the Original Offer to Purchase that are specifically amended by this Supplement and set forth the corresponding amendments. Except as set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Offer set forth in the Original Offer to Purchase shall continue to be applicable. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Original Offer to Purchase.

SUMMARY OF THE AMENDED OFFER

This summary highlights certain material information regarding the Offer, as amended, but you should realize that it does not describe all of the details of the tender offer to the same extent described in the Original Offer to Purchase. We urge you to read the entire Original Offer to Purchase and the related Amended Letter of Transmittal because they contain important information regarding the Offer.

What is the purpose of the Offer?

We believe that investing in our own Shares within our price range, through this modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, is an appropriate use of capital and an efficient and effective means to provide long-term value to our stockholders. In addition, we believe that this tender offer is a prudent use of our financial resources given our business profile, strategic position, cash flow, capital structure and the current market price of the Shares. We believe that the tender offer set forth in this Offer to Purchase represents an opportunity for our stockholders to tender all or a portion of their Shares and thereby potentially receive a return of some or all of their investment if they so elect. See Section 2, Section 9 and Section 12.

How many Shares will we purchase in the Offer?

We will purchase up to $500 million in value of Shares in the Offer or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. At the maximum Final Purchase Price of $36.00 per Share, we could purchase 13,888,888 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 15.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of January 24, 2012. At the minimum Final Purchase Price of $32.00 per Share, we could purchase 15,625,000 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 17.1% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of January 24, 2012. If, based on the Final Purchase Price, more than $500 million in value of Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will purchase all Shares tendered at or below the Final Purchase Price on a pro rata basis, but Shares tendered in amounts of less than 100 Shares (“odd lots”) will be purchased first. We expressly reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase additional Shares in the Offer, subject to applicable law. See Section 1. The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Shares being tendered but is subject to certain other conditions, including the Financing Condition. See Section 7.

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we may, in our sole discretion, increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer. See Section 1.

What will the purchase price for the Shares be and what will be the form of payment?

We are conducting the Offer through a procedure commonly called a modified “Dutch auction.” This procedure allows you to select the price, within the price range specified by us, at which you are willing to sell your Shares. The price range for the Offer is $32.00 to $36.00 per Share. See Section 1. We will select the single lowest purchase price, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $500 million in value of Shares at such price, based on the number of Shares tendered, or, if fewer Shares are properly tendered, all Shares that are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. We will purchase all Shares at the Final Purchase Price, even if you have selected a purchase price lower than the Final Purchase Price, but we will not purchase any Shares tendered at a price above the Final Purchase Price.

If you wish to maximize the chance that we will purchase your Shares, you should check the box in the section entitled “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Pursuant To The Offer” in the section of the Amended Letter of Transmittal captioned “Price Per Share At Which Shares Are Being Tendered,” indicating that you will accept the Final Purchase Price we determine. You should understand that this election may have the effect of lowering the Final Purchase Price and could result in your Shares being purchased at the minimum price of

 

3


$32.00 per Share, and could be below the last reported sale price of the Shares on the NYSE on the Expiration Date. On February 17, 2012, the last full trading day prior to our announcement of our intention to increase the maximum purchase price for the Shares and extend the expiration date of the Offer, the last reported sale price of the Shares was $34.51 per Share.

If we purchase your Shares in the Offer, we will pay you the Final Purchase Price in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, promptly after the Expiration Date. Under no circumstances will we pay interest on the Final Purchase Price, even if there is a delay in making payment. See the Introduction, Section 1 and Section 3.

How long do I have to tender my Shares?

You may tender your Shares until the Offer expires. The Offer will expire on Monday, March 5, 2012, at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, unless we extend the Offer. See Section 1. We may choose to extend the Offer at any time and for any reason. We cannot assure you, however, that we will extend the Offer or, if we extend it, for how long. See Section 1 and Section 15. If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your Shares, it may have an earlier deadline for accepting the Offer. We urge you to contact the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that holds your Shares to find out its deadline. See Section 3.

If I have not yet tendered Shares in the Original Offer to Purchase, how do I tender my Shares?

If you want to tender all or part of your Shares, you must do one of the following before 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012, or any later time and date to which the Offer may be extended:

 

   

if your Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, contact the nominee and request that the nominee tender your Shares for you;

 

   

if you hold certificates registered in your own name, complete and sign an Amended Letter of Transmittal according to its instructions, and deliver it, together with any required signature guarantees, the certificates for your Shares and any other documents required by the Amended Letter of Transmittal, to the Depositary at the address appearing on the back cover page of this Offer to Purchase;

 

   

if you are an institution participating in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, tender your Shares according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described in Section 3;

 

   

if you are a holder of vested options, you may exercise your vested options and tender any Shares issued upon such exercise. You must exercise your options sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to receive your Shares in order to tender. An exercise of an option cannot be revoked even if Shares received upon the exercise thereof and tendered in the Offer are not purchased in the Offer for any reason; or

 

   

if you participate in the Company’s ESPP, you may tender Shares that you have purchased through the ESPP. If you have purchased Shares through the ESPP up to and including the purchase period that ended October 31, 2011, and hold such Shares at Computershare (administrator of our ESPP), contact Computershare and request that Computershare tender your Shares. If you have transferred any Shares purchased through the ESPP to another broker, you will receive instructions from such broker with respect to tendering those ESPP Shares. Computershare has informed us that the instructions of ESPP participants must be received by it no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, in order for it to be able to act on a participant’s instructions in a timely manner (unless the Offer is extended by the Company).

If you want to tender your Shares, but: (a) the certificates for your Shares are not immediately available or cannot be delivered to the Depositary by the Expiration Date; (b) you cannot comply with the procedure for

 

4


book-entry transfer by the Expiration Date; or (c) your other required documents cannot be delivered to the Depositary by the Expiration Date, you can still tender your Shares if you comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described in Section 3.

We are not making the Offer to, and will not accept any tendered Shares from, stockholders in any jurisdiction where it would be illegal to do so. However, we may, at our discretion, take any actions necessary for us to make the Offer to stockholders in any such jurisdiction.

You may contact the Information Agent, the Dealer Manager or your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance. The contact information for the Information Agent and the Dealer Manager is set forth on the back cover of this Supplement. See Section 3 and the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.

If I tendered Shares under the Original Offer to Purchase and I do not wish to withdraw those Shares, do I need to do anything further?

No. If you have previously tendered your Shares, and you do not wish to either withdraw the tender of those Shares, increase the number of Shares tendered or change your indication of a specific price at which Shares are being tendered, you do not need to take any further action in response to this Supplement. As a result of the increase in the minimum price from $30.00 per Share to $32.00 per Share, any Shares previously tendered into the Offer at any price below $32.00 per Share will now be deemed to have been tendered at $32.00 per Share.

If I tendered shares under the Original Offer to Purchase and I wish either to increase the number of shares tendered or change my indications of a specific price at which Shares are being tendered, what do I need to do?

If you have previously tendered Shares, and you wish either to increase the number of Shares tendered or change your indications of a specific price at which Shares are being tendered, please submit a new and later-dated Amended Letter of Transmittal (which will supersede your original Letter of Transmittal) containing your new instructions in accordance with the procedures contained in Section 3 of the Original Offer to Purchase or, if your Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, follow the procedures given to you by such party or contact such party and request that your prior instructions with respect to your tendered Shares be changed. See Sections 3 and 4.

Once I have tendered Shares in the Offer, may I withdraw my tendered Shares?

Yes. You may withdraw any Shares you have tendered at any time before 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012, or any later Expiration Date, if the Offer is extended. If after 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the night of Thursday, March 22, 2012 (the fortieth business day following the commencement of the Offer), we have not accepted for payment the Shares you have tendered to us, you may also withdraw your Shares at any time thereafter. See Section 4.

What does the Board of Directors think of the Offer?

Our Board of Directors has authorized us to make the Offer. However, neither we nor any member of our Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary or the Information Agent makes any recommendation to you as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your Shares or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which you may choose to tender your Shares. You must make your own decision as to whether to tender your Shares and, if so, how many Shares to tender and the purchase price or purchase prices at which you will tender them. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in this Offer to Purchase and in the related Amended Letter of Transmittal, including our reasons for making the Offer. See Section 2. You should discuss whether to tender your Shares with your broker or other financial or tax advisors.

 

5


Will your directors and executive officers tender Shares in the Offer?

Martin E. Franklin, our Executive Chairman, Ian G.H. Ashken, our Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, and James E. Lillie, our Chief Executive Officer, have committed to tendering in the aggregate 526,000 Shares in the Offer, or approximately 10.5% of each of their respective current beneficial holdings of Shares in the Company. Each of our other directors and executive officers has indicated such person may tender up to 15% of their Shares in the Company.

Amendments to Specific Provisions

 

1. Number of Shares; Proration.

The first four paragraphs of Section 1 are amended and restated as follows:

Upon the terms and conditions of such extension or amendment), we will purchase up to $500 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 4 before the Expiration Date at a price not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest (such purchase price, the “Final Purchase Price”). If, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value of less than $500 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn.

The term “Expiration Date” means 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012, unless and until we, in our sole discretion, shall have extended the period of time during which the Offer will remain open, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall refer to the latest time and date at which the Offer, as so extended by us, shall expire. See Section 15 for a description of our right to extend, delay, terminate or amend the Offer.

Subject to all applicable laws and the terms and conditions of the Offer, the Company reserves the right, as described in Section 7 and in Section 15, to waive conditions thereto, in its sole discretion, and/or extend, withdraw, terminate, delay or amend the Offer in any case by making a public announcement thereof. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will exercise its right to extend the Offer.

In accordance with Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal, stockholders desiring to tender Shares must either (1) specify that they are willing to sell their Shares to us at the Final Purchase Price (which could result in the tendering stockholder receiving a purchase price per Share as low as $32.00), or (2) specify the price or prices, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, at which they are willing to sell their Shares to us under the Offer. Prices may be specified in multiples of $0.25. Promptly following the Expiration Date, we will determine the Final Purchase Price that we will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, taking into account the number of Shares tendered and the prices specified by tendering stockholders. We will select the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $500 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. We will purchase all Shares in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price.

 

3. Procedures for Tendering Shares.

At the end of Section 3, the following paragraph shall be added:

If a Stockholder have previously tendered Shares and wishes either to change the number of Shares tendered or such Stockholder’s indications of a specific price at which Shares are being tendered, the Stockholder must withdraw all previously tendered Shares in accordance with the procedures described in Section 4 hereof, and submit a new Amended Letter of Transmittal expressing its new instructions with respect to the tender of such Stockholder’s Shares.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Jarden”), the above-described shares of Jarden’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), at the price per Share indicated in this Amended Letter of Transmittal, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Jarden’s Offer to Purchase, dated January 26, 2012, as amended and supplemented by the Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated February 21, 2012 (as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and this Amended Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

Subject to and effective on acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered with this Amended Letter of Transmittal in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Offer (including if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms or conditions of any such extension or amendment), the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Jarden, all right, title and interest in and to all the Shares that are being tendered, or orders of registration of such Shares delivered by book entry transfer, and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Depositary”), the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to such tendered Shares, to (a) deliver certificates for such tendered Shares or transfer ownership of such tendered Shares on the account books maintained by The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”), together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, Jarden upon receipt by the Depositary, as the undersigned’s agent, of the aggregate purchase price with respect to such tendered Shares, (b) present such tendered Shares for cancellation and transfer on Jarden’s books and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such tendered Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered Shares and, when the same are accepted for payment, Jarden will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, security interests, restrictions, charges, claims, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other similar obligations relating to the sale or transfer of the tendered Shares, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim or right. The undersigned will, on request by the Depositary or Jarden, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or Jarden to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the tendered Shares (and any and all such other Shares or other securities or rights), all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred pursuant to this Amended Letter of Transmittal shall be binding on the successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

The undersigned understands that:

 

  1. the valid tender of Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Amended Letter of Transmittal constitutes the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer; Jarden’s acceptance of the tendered Shares will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Jarden on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;

 

  2.

it is a violation of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a person acting alone or in concert with others, directly or indirectly, to tender Shares for such person’s own account unless at the time of tender and until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 5, 2012 (as this time may be extended at any time or from time to time by Jarden in its sole discretion in

 

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTIONS COY: JAD


  accordance with the terms of the Offer, the “Expiration Date”), such person has a “net long position” in (a) the Shares that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares for the purpose of tender to Jarden within the period specified in the Offer, or (b) other securities immediately convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable into Shares (“Equivalent Securities”) that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and, upon the acceptance of such tender, will acquire such Shares by conversion, exchange or exercise of such Equivalent Securities to the extent required by the terms of the Offer and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares so acquired for the purpose of tender to Jarden within the period specified in the Offer. Rule 14e-4 also provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person. A tender of Shares made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth in this Amended Letter of Transmittal will constitute the tendering stockholder’s representation and warranty to Jarden that (y) such stockholder has a “net long position” in Shares or Equivalent Securities being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4, and (z) such tender of Shares complies with Rule 14e-4. Jarden’s acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering stockholder and Jarden upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;

 

  3. Jarden will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine a single per Share price (the “Final Purchase Price”), not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that it will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified by tendering stockholders;

 

  4. the Final Purchase Price will be the lowest single purchase price, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, that will allow us to purchase $500 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn;

 

  5. Jarden reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase or decrease the per Share purchase price and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer. We may increase the value of Shares sought in the Offer to an amount greater than $500 million, subject to applicable law;

 

  6. all Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the “odd lot” priority, proration (because more than the number of Shares sought are properly tendered) and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase;

 

  7. Jarden will return at its expense all Shares it does not purchase, including Shares tendered at prices greater than the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn and Shares not purchased because of proration or conditional tenders, promptly following the Expiration Date;

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a shareholder whose tendered Shares are accepted for payment is required by law to provide the Depositary with such shareholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on the Substitute Form W-9 below. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may subject the shareholder or other payee to a $50 penalty. In addition, payments that are made to such shareholder or other payee with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to 28% backup withholding.

Certain shareholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements and should indicate their status by writing “exempt” across the face of the Substitute Form W-9. In order for a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt recipient, the shareholder must submit a Form W-8BEN, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual’s exempt status. A Form W-8BEN can be obtained from the Depositary. See the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for more instructions.

If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 28% of any such payments to be made to the shareholder or other payee. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, provided that the required information is given to the IRS.

The box in Part 3 of the Substitute Form W-9 may be checked if the tendering shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 3 is checked, the shareholder or other payee must also complete the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number below in order to avoid backup withholding. Notwithstanding that the box in Part 3 is checked and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number is completed, the Depositary will withhold 28% on all payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.

The shareholder is required to give the Depositary the TIN (e.g., social security number or employer identification number) of the record owner of the Shares or of the last transferee appearing on the transfers attached to, or endorsed on, the certificates evidencing the Shares. If the Shares are registered in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for additional guidance on which number to report.

INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer

 

1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Amended Letter of Transmittal if (a) this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for purposes of this Instruction 1, includes any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s system whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares) of Shares tendered herewith, unless such registered holder(s) has (have) completed the section captioned “Special Issuance Instructions” on this Amended Letter of Transmittal), or (b) such Shares are tendered for the account of a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Agents Association, Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program, or is otherwise an “eligible guarantor institution,” as the term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of the foregoing constituting an “Eligible Institution.” In all other cases, all signatures on this Amended Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 6. If you have any questions regarding the need for a signature guarantee, please call the Information Agent at (866) 695-6075.

 

2. Requirements of Tender. This Amended Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by stockholders either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message is utilized, if delivery of Shares is to be made pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. For a stockholder to validly tender Shares pursuant to the Offer, (a) a Amended Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and the certificate(s) representing the tendered Shares, together with any required signature guarantees, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back of this Amended Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date, or (b) a Amended Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile of the Amended Letter of Transmittal), properly completed and duly executed, together with any required Agent’s Message and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back of this Amended Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date and Shares must be delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in this Amended Letter of Transmittal (and a book-entry confirmation must be received by the Depositary) prior to the Expiration Date, or (c) the stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below and in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

Tenders of Shares made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. If Jarden extends the Offer beyond that time, tendered Shares may be withdrawn at any time until the extended Expiration Date. Shares that have not previously been accepted by Jarden for payment may be withdrawn at any time after 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the night of March 5, 2012. To withdraw tendered Shares, stockholders must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the Depositary within the prescribed time period at one of the addresses set forth in this Amended Letter of Transmittal. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the tendering stockholder, the number of Shares to be withdrawn, and the name of the registered holder of the Shares. In addition, if the certificates for Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, before the release of the certificates, the tendering stockholder must also submit the serial numbers shown on the particular certificates for Shares to be withdrawn and the signature(s) on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (except in the case of Shares tendered by an Eligible Institution). If Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer, the notice of withdrawal also must specify the name and the number of the account at The Depository Trust Company to be credited with the withdrawn Shares and otherwise comply with the procedures of that facility. Withdrawals may not be rescinded and any Shares withdrawn will not be properly tendered for purposes of the Offer unless the withdrawn Shares are properly re-tendered prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described above.

Stockholders whose certificates for Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry

 

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTIONS COY: JAD


transfer prior to the Expiration Date may tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to those procedures, (a) tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by Jarden, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date and (c) the certificates for all tendered Shares in proper form for transfer (or a book-entry confirmation with respect to all such Shares), together with a Amended Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile of the Amended Letter of Transmittal), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary, in each case within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery as provided in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. A “trading day” is any day on which the NYSE is open for business. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Depositary, which states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the Shares that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Amended Letter of Transmittal and that Jarden may enforce such agreement against the participant.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF SHARES, THIS AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, IS AT THE SOLE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. SHARES, THIS AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED DELIVERED ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF YOU ELECT TO DELIVER BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AND THAT YOU PROPERLY INSURE THE DOCUMENTS. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Except as specifically provided by the Offer to Purchase, no alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. No fractional Shares will be purchased. All tendering stockholders, by execution of this Amended Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile of this Amended Letter of Transmittal), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for payment of their Shares.

 

3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in this Amended Letter of Transmittal is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto.

 

4. Partial Tenders (Not Applicable to Stockholders Who Tender by Book-Entry Transfer). If fewer than all of the Shares represented by any certificate submitted to the Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled “Number of Shares Tendered.” In any such case, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the Shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder(s), unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Amended Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Shares tendered herewith. All Shares represented by certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

 

5.

Indication of Price at Which Shares are Being Tendered. For Shares to be properly tendered, the stockholder MUST either (1) check the box in the section captioned “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” in order to maximize the chance of having Jarden accept for payment all of the Shares tendered (subject to the possibility of proration) or (2) check the box indicating the price per Share at which such stockholder is tendering Shares under “Shares Tendered At Price Determined by Stockholder.” Selecting option (1) could result in the stockholder receiving a price per Share as low as $32.00. ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) MAY BE CHECKED. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THERE IS NO PROPER TENDER OF SHARES. A STOCKHOLDER WISHING TO TENDER PORTIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S SHARE HOLDINGS AT

 

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTIONS COY: JAD


  DIFFERENT PRICES MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER WISHES TO TENDER EACH SUCH PORTION OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S SHARES. The same Shares cannot be tendered more than once, unless previously properly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, at more than one price.

 

6. Signatures on Amended Letter of Transmittal, Stock Powers and Endorsements. If this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change or alteration whatsoever.

If any of the Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such persons must sign this Amended Letter of Transmittal.

If any Shares tendered hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Amended Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates.

If this Amended Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, he or she should so indicate when signing and submit proper evidence satisfactory to Jarden of his or her authority to so act.

If this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the purchase price is to be made, or certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued, to a person other than the registered owner(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the certificate(s) representing such Shares must be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the certificates(s). The signature(s) on any such certificate(s) or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

 

7. Stock Transfer Taxes. Jarden will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares to it pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or if Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person(s) other than the registered owner(s), or if Shares tendered hereby are registered in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the person(s) signing this Amended Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner(s) or such other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer to such person(s) will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption from the payment of such taxes is submitted with this Amended Letter of Transmittal.

Except as provided in this Instruction 7, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the certificates listed in this Amended Letter of Transmittal.

 

8. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If a check for the purchase price of any Shares accepted for payment is to be issued in the name of, and/or certificates for any Shares not accepted for payment or not tendered are to be issued in the name of and/or returned to, a person other than the signer of this Amended Letter of Transmittal or if a check is to be sent, and/or such certificates are to be returned, to a person other than the signer of this Amended Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Amended Letter of Transmittal should be completed.

 

9.

Waiver of Conditions; Irregularities. All questions as to the number of Shares to be accepted, the purchase price to be paid for Shares to be accepted, the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares and the validity (including time of receipt) and form of any notice of withdrawal of tendered Shares will be determined by Jarden, in its sole discretion, and such

 

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTIONS COY: JAD


  determination will be final and binding on all parties. Jarden may delegate power in whole or in part to the Depositary. Jarden reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any Shares that Jarden determines are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of Jarden’s counsel, be unlawful. Jarden reserves the absolute right to reject any notices of withdrawal that it determines are not in proper form. Jarden also reserves the absolute right, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to waive any of the conditions of the Offer prior to the Expiration Date, or any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal with respect to any particular Shares or any particular stockholder (whether or not Jarden waives similar defects or irregularities in the case of other stockholders), and Jarden’s interpretation of the terms of the Offer (including these instructions) will be final and binding on all parties. In the event a condition is waived with respect to any particular stockholder, the same condition will be waived with respect to all stockholders. No tender or withdrawal of Shares will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering or withdrawing stockholder or waived by Jarden. Jarden will not be liable for failure to waive any condition of the Offer, or any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal of Shares. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders or withdrawals must be cured within the period of time Jarden determines. None of Jarden, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any tender or withdrawal, nor will any of the foregoing incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

 

10. Backup Withholding. In order to avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on payments of cash pursuant to the Offer, a U.S. Holder (as defined below) surrendering Shares in the Offer must (a) qualify for an exemption, as described below, or (b) provide the Depositary with such U.S. Holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) (i.e., social security number or employer identification number) on IRS Form W-9 included with this Amended Letter of Transmittal and certify under penalties of perjury that (i) the TIN provided is correct, (ii) (x) the U.S. Holder is exempt from backup withholding, (y) the U.S. Holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that such U.S. Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (z) the IRS has notified the U.S. Holder that such U.S. Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii) the U.S. Holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). If a U.S. Holder does not provide a correct TIN or fails to provide the certifications described above, the IRS may impose a $50 penalty on such U.S. Holder and payment of cash to such U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding at the applicable statutory rate (currently 28%).

A “U.S. Holder” is any stockholder that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the “substantial presence” test under Section 7701(b) of the Code, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “United States persons” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or, if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, and it has elected to continue to be treated as a United States person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding can be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding, provided that the required information is timely given to the IRS. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained upon timely filing an income tax return.

A tendering U.S. Holder is required to give the Depositary the TIN of the record owner of the Shares being tendered. If the Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for guidance on which number to report.

If a U.S. Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such U.S. Holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in Part I of the IRS

 

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTIONS COY: JAD


Form W-9, and sign and date the IRS Form W-9. Writing “Applied For” means that a U.S. Holder has already applied for a TIN or that such U.S. Holder intends to apply for one soon. Notwithstanding that the U.S. Holder has written “Applied For” in Part I, the Depositary will withhold the applicable statutory rate (currently 28%) on all payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.

Some stockholders are exempt from backup withholding. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, exempt stockholders should consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance.

Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) should complete and sign the main signature form and IRS Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status, a copy of which may be obtained from the Depositary or from the IRS website (www.irs.gov), or other applicable IRS Form W-8, in order to avoid backup withholding. A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a stockholder that is not a U.S. Holder. A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not the IRS Form W-9. See the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for more instructions.

 

11. Withholding on Non-U.S. Holders. Even if a Non-U.S. Holder has provided the required certification to avoid backup withholding, the Depositary will withhold U.S. federal income taxes equal to 30% of the gross payments payable to a Non-U.S. Holder or such holder’s agent unless the Depositary determines that a reduced rate of withholding is available pursuant to a tax treaty or that an exemption from withholding is applicable because such gross proceeds are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. See Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase. In order to obtain a reduced or zero rate of withholding pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder must deliver to the Depositary, before the payment is made, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) claiming such an exemption or reduction. In order to claim an exemption from withholding on the grounds that the gross proceeds paid pursuant to the Offer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, a Non-U.S. Holder must deliver to the Depositary before the payment is made a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI. A Non-U.S. Holder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any U.S. federal tax withheld if such Non-U.S. Holder meets the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests described in Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase or is otherwise able to establish that such Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduced or zero rate of withholding pursuant to any applicable income tax treaty and a higher rate was withheld.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING RULES, INCLUDING ELIGIBILITY FOR A WITHHOLDING TAX REDUCTION OR EXEMPTION, AND THE REFUND PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Any payments made pursuant to the Offer, whether to U.S. or Non-U.S. Holders, that are treated as wages will be subject to applicable wage withholding (regardless of whether an IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 is provided).

 

12. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. If you have questions or need assistance, you should contact the Information Agent or the Dealer Manager at their respective addresses and telephone numbers set forth on the back cover of this Amended Letter of Transmittal. If you require additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Amended Letter of Transmittal, the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the IRS Form W-9 or other related materials, you should contact the Information Agent. Copies will be furnished promptly at Jarden’s expense.

 

13.

Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. If any certificate representing Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder should promptly notify the Depositary at the toll free number (800) 622-6757 or at (781) 575-4735. The stockholder will then be instructed by the Depositary as to the steps that must be taken

  in order to replace the certificate. This Amended Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen certificates have been followed.

 

14. Conditional Tenders. As described in Sections 3 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase, stockholders may condition their tenders on all or a minimum number of their tendered Shares being purchased.

If you wish to make a conditional tender you must indicate this in the box captioned “Conditional Tender” in this Amended Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. In this box in this Amended Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Amended Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, you must calculate and appropriately indicate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are to be purchased.

As discussed in Sections 3 and 6 of the Offer to Purchase, proration may affect whether Jarden accepts conditional tenders and may result in Shares tendered pursuant to a conditional tender being deemed withdrawn if the minimum number of Shares would not be purchased. If, because of proration (because more than the number of Shares sought are properly tendered), the minimum number of Shares that you designate will not be purchased, Jarden may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, you must have tendered all of your Shares and check the box so indicating. Upon selection by lot, if any, Jarden will limit its purchase in each case to the designated minimum number of Shares.

All tendered Shares will be deemed unconditionally tendered unless the “Conditional Tender” box is completed.

The conditional tender alternative is made available so that a stockholder may seek to structure the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer in such a manner that the purchase will be treated as a sale of such Shares by the stockholder, rather than the payment of a dividend to the stockholder, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are an odd lot holder and you tender all of your Shares, you cannot conditionally tender, because your Shares will not be subject to proration. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from the stockholder in order for the stockholder to qualify for sale rather than dividend treatment. Each stockholder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor. See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase.

 

15. Odd Lots. As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, if Jarden is to purchase fewer than all Shares tendered before the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn, the Shares purchased first will consist of all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by any stockholder who owned, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, and who tenders all of the holder’s Shares at or below the purchase price. This preference will not be available unless the section captioned “Odd Lots” is completed.

 

16. Order of Purchase in Event of Proration. As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, stockholders may designate the order in which their Shares are to be purchased in the event of proration. The order of purchase may have an effect on the U.S. federal income tax classification and the amount of any gain or loss on the Shares purchased. See Section 1 and Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase.

IMPORTANT: THIS AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR, FOR ELIGIBLE INSTITUTIONS, A MANUALLY SIGNED FACSIMILE OF THIS AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL), TOGETHER WITH ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEES, OR, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, AN AGENT’S MESSAGE, AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE AND EITHER CERTIFICATES FOR TENDERED SHARES MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY OR SHARES MUST BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, IN EACH CASE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE, OR THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER MUST COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES FOR GUARANTEED DELIVERY.

What Number to Give the Depositary

A stockholder (or other payee) that is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien) is required to give the Depositary the social security number or employer identification number of the record holder (or any other payee) of the Shares tendered hereby. If the Shares are registered in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for guidance on which number to report. If the surrendering stockholder (or other payee) has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near future, the stockholder (or other payee) should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in Part I and sign and date the IRS Form W-9. If “Applied For” is written in Part I and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN by the time of payment, the Depositary will withhold 28% of all payments to such stockholder (or other payee) until a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)

Page 2

 

 

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and

The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Name

If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form.

Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the “Name” line. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA)” name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name on the “Name” line and any business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA) name” on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Disregarded entity. Enter the owner’s name on the “Name” line. The name of the entity entered on the “Name” line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the “Name” line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner’s name is required to be provided on the “Name” line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, you must complete an appropriate Form W-8.

Note. Check the appropriate box for the federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the “Name” line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, Trust/estate).

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the “Name” line is an LLC, check the “Limited liability company” box only and enter the appropriate code for the tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, enter “P” for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the “Name” line) is another LLC that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified on the “Name” line.

 


Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)

Page 3

 

 

Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required federal tax documents on the “Name” line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the “Business name/ disregarded entity name” line.

Exempt Payee

If you are exempt from backup withholding, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the “Exempt payee” box in the line following the “Business name/ disregarded entity name,” sign and date the form.

Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.

Note. If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.

The following payees are exempt from backup withholding:

1. An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), any IRA, or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account satisfies the requirements of section 401(f)(2),

2. The United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities,

3. A state, the District of Columbia, a possession of the United States, or any of their political subdivisions or instrumentalities,

4. A foreign government or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities, or

5. An international organization or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

Other payees that may be exempt from backup withholding include:

However, the following payments made to a corporation and reportable on Form 1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: medical and health care payments, attorneys’ fees, gross proceeds paid to an attorney, and payments for services paid by a federal executive agency.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4 indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on the “Name” line must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt Payee on page 3.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 3, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

Protect your SSN,

Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes.

Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a shareholder whose tendered Shares are accepted for payment is required by law to provide the Depositary with such shareholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on the Substitute Form W-9 below. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may subject the shareholder or other payee to a $50 penalty. In addition, payments that are made to such shareholder or other payee with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to 28% backup withholding.

Certain shareholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements and should indicate their status by writing “exempt” across the face of the Substitute Form W-9. In order for a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt recipient, the shareholder must submit a Form W-8BEN, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual’s exempt status. A Form W-8BEN can be obtained from the Depositary. See the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for more instructions.

If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 28% of any such payments to be made to the shareholder or other payee. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, provided that the required information is given to the IRS.

The box in Part 3 of the Substitute Form W-9 may be checked if the tendering shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 3 is checked, the shareholder or other payee must also complete the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number below in order to avoid backup withholding. Notwithstanding that the box in Part 3 is checked and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number is completed, the Depositary will withhold 28% on all payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.

The shareholder is required to give the Depositary the TIN (e.g., social security number or employer identification number) of the record owner of the Shares or of the last transferee appearing on the transfers attached to, or endorsed on, the certificates evidencing the Shares. If the Shares are registered in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for additional guidance on which number to report.

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)


Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)

Page 2

 

 

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and

The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Name

If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form.

Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the “Name” line. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA)” name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name on the “Name” line and any business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA) name” on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Disregarded entity. Enter the owner’s name on the “Name” line. The name of the entity entered on the “Name” line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the “Name” line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner’s name is required to be provided on the “Name” line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, you must complete an appropriate Form W-8.

Note. Check the appropriate box for the federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the “Name” line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, Trust/estate).

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the “Name” line is an LLC, check the “Limited liability company” box only and enter the appropriate code for the tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, enter “P” for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the “Name” line) is another LLC that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified on the “Name” line.

 


Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)

Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required federal tax documents on the “Name” line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the “Business name/ disregarded entity name” line.

Exempt Payee

If you are exempt from backup withholding, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the “Exempt payee” box in the line following the “Business name/ disregarded entity name,” sign and date the form.

Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.

Note. If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.

The following payees are exempt from backup withholding:

1. An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), any IRA, or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account satisfies the requirements of section 401(f)(2),

2. The United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities,

3. A state, the District of Columbia, a possession of the United States, or any of their political subdivisions or instrumentalities,

4. A foreign government or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities, or

5. An international organization or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

Other payees that may be exempt from backup withholding include:

6. A corporation,

7. A foreign central bank of issue,

8. A dealer in securities or commodities required to register in the United States, the District of Columbia, or a possession of the United States,

9. A futures commission merchant registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission,

10. A real estate investment trust,

11. An entity registered at all times during the tax year under the Investment Company Act of 1940,

12. A common trust fund operated by a bank under section 584(a),

13. A financial institution,

14. A middleman known in the investment community as a nominee or custodian, or

15. A trust exempt from tax under section 664 or described in section 4947.

The following chart shows types of payments that may be exempt from backup withholding. The chart applies to the exempt payees listed above, 1 through 15.

See Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, and its instructions.

 

2

However, the following payments made to a corporation and reportable on Form 1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: medical and health care payments, attorneys’ fees, gross proceeds paid to an attorney, and payments for services paid by a federal executive agency.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4 indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on the “Name” line must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt Payee on page 3.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 3, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

Protect your SSN,

Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes.

Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

This action will maximize the chance of having the Company purchase all of the Shares tendered by the undersigned (subject to the possibility of proration). You should understand that this election may lower the purchase price paid for all purchased Shares in the Offer and could result in the tendered Shares being purchased at the minimum price of $32.00 per Share.

— OR —

 

2. SHARES TENDERED AT A PRICE DETERMINED BY SHAREHOLDER

By checking ONE of the boxes below INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER 1 ABOVE, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked the corresponding box in the section below captioned “Price (in Dollars) per Share at which Shares are Being Tendered”. This action could result in none of the Shares being purchased if the purchase price for the Shares is less than the price checked. If the purchase price for the Shares is equal to or greater than the price checked, then the Shares purchased by the Company will be purchased at the purchase price. All Shares so purchased by the Company will be purchased at the same price regardless of whether the shareholder tendered at a lower price. A shareholder who wishes to tender Shares at more than one price must complete a separate Amended Letter of Transmittal for each price at which Shares are being tendered. The same Shares cannot be tendered (unless previously properly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer) at more than one price.

ODD LOTS

(See Instruction 15 of the Amended Letter of Transmittal)

As described in the Offer to Purchase, under certain conditions, a shareholder owning beneficially or of record an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and who tenders all such Shares and satisfies the other requirements set forth in the Offer to Purchase, may have his or her Shares accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered Shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders, or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more Shares, even if these holders have separate accounts representing fewer than 100 Shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed only if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. The undersigned either (check one box):

 

¨ owns, whether beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares; or

 

¨ is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), Shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares.

In addition, the undersigned is tendering all such Shares either (check one box):

 

¨ at the Purchase Price, as the same will be determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer (persons checking this box should not check any box in the section captioned “Price (in Dollars) per Share at which Shares are Being Tendered.”); or

 

¨ at the price per Share indicated above in the section captioned “Price (in Dollars) per Share at which Shares are Being Tendered.”

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Instruction 14 to the Amended Letter of Transmittal)

A stockholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the stockholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Amended Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by Jarden pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Jarden urges stockholders to consult their own tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional

 

¨ The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is:             Shares.

 

¨ If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Jarden may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:

 

¨ The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.

Offer to Purchase for Cash

by

JARDEN CORPORATION

of

Up to $500 Million in Value of Shares of Its Common Stock

At a Purchase Price Not Greater than $36.00 per Share

Nor Less than $32.00 per Share

 

THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED (SUCH DATE AND TIME, AS THEY MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).

February 21, 2012

To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Jarden”), has appointed us to act as Dealer Manager in connection with its offer to purchase for cash up to $500 million in value of shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a price not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated January 26, 2012, as amended and supplemented by the Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated February 21, 2012 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Amended Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). The Company may elect, but is not obligated, to purchase additional Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Shares being validly tendered. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase. The description of the Offer in this letter is only a summary and is qualified by all of the terms and conditions of the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Amended Letter of Transmittal.

Jarden will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine a single per Share price that it will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified by tendering stockholders. Jarden will select the lowest purchase price, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, that will allow it to purchase $500 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. If, based on the Final Purchase Price (defined below), Shares having an aggregate value of less than $500 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Jarden will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. The price Jarden will select is sometimes referred to as the “Final Purchase Price.” All Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the purchase price for the Shares, regardless of any delay in making such payment. All Shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Final Purchase Price. Jarden reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law.

Jarden reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Offer upon the occurrence of certain conditions more specifically described in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, or to amend the Offer in any respect, subject to applicable law.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value in excess of $500 million, or such greater amount as Jarden may elect to pay, subject to applicable law, have been validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, at prices at


or below the Final Purchase Price, Jarden will accept the Shares to be purchased in the following order of priority: (i) from all holders of “odd lots” of less than 100 Shares who properly tender all their Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Date (partial tenders will not qualify for this preference); (ii) from all other stockholders who properly tender Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price, on a pro rata basis, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase and with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of fractional Shares; and (iii) only if necessary to permit Jarden to purchase $500 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as Jarden may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), from holders who have tendered Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the holder’s Shares be purchased if any Shares are purchased in the Offer as described in the Offer to Purchase (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, stockholders whose Shares are conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their Shares. Therefore, it is possible that Jarden will not purchase all of the Shares tendered by a stockholder even if such stockholder tenders its Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price. Shares tendered at prices greater than the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased because of proration provisions will be returned to the tendering stockholders at Jarden’s expense promptly after the Expiration Date. See Section 1, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase.

The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to certain other conditions, including the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). See Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase.

For your information and for forwarding to those of your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:

 

  1. The Supplement to Offer to Purchase;

 

  2. The Amended Letter of Transmittal for your use and for the information of your clients, including an IRS Form W-9;

  4. A letter to clients that you may send to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer; and

 

  5. A return envelope addressed to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Depositary for the Offer.

YOUR PROMPT ACTION IS REQUESTED. WE URGE YOU TO CONTACT YOUR CLIENTS AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.

Jarden will not pay any fees or commissions to brokers, dealers, commercial banks or trust companies or other nominees (other than fees to the Dealer Manager and the Information Agent, as described in Section 16 of the Offer to Purchase) for soliciting tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Jarden will, however, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding the Offer and related materials to the beneficial owners of Shares held by them as a nominee or in a fiduciary capacity. No broker, dealer, commercial bank or trust company has been authorized to act as the agent of Jarden, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Depositary for purposes of the Offer. Jarden will pay or cause to be paid all stock transfer taxes, if any, on its purchase of the Shares except as otherwise provided in the Offer to Purchase or Instruction 7 in the Amended Letter of Transmittal.

Any questions or requests for assistance may be directed to the Dealer Manager or the Information Agent at their respective telephone numbers and addresses set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase.

Very truly yours,

by

JARDEN CORPORATION

of

Up to $500 Million in Value of Shares of Its Common Stock

At a Purchase Price Not Greater than $32.00 per Share

Nor Less than $32.00 per Share

 

THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2012, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED (SUCH DATE AND TIME, AS THEY MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).

February 21, 2012

To Our Clients:

On January 26, 2012, Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Jarden”), distributed an Offer to Purchase (the “Original Offer to Purchase”) and a related Letter of Transmittal (the “Original Letter of Transmittal”) in connection with its tender offer to purchase for cash up to $500 million in value of shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a price not greater than $33.00 nor less than $30.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Original Offer to Purchase and the Original Letter of Transmittal. The tender offer was previously scheduled to expire at 12 midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, February 23, 2012.

Jarden has increased the price per Share at which stockholders may tender Shares to a price not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest thereon. Jarden has also extended the Offer to the Expiration Time indicated above.

Enclosed for your consideration are the Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated February 21, 2012 (the “Supplement and together with the Original Offer to Purchase, the “Offer to Purchase”), and related Amended Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”) in connection with the offer by Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Jarden”), to purchase for cash up to $500 million in value shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a price not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Amended Letter of Transmittal. Jarden may elect, but shall not be obligated, to purchase additional Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Offer to Purchase and a specimen Amended Letter of Transmittal are being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner of Shares held by us in your account but not registered in your name. A tender of such Shares can be made only by us as the holder of record and only pursuant to your instructions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase. The description of the Offer in this letter is only a summary and is qualified by all of the terms and conditions of the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Amended Letter of Transmittal.

Jarden will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine a single per Share price that it will pay for Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, taking into account the number of Shares so tendered and the prices specified by tendering stockholders. Jarden will select the single lowest purchase price, not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, that will allow it to purchase $500 million in value of Shares, or a lower amount depending on the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. If, based on the Final Purchase Price (defined below), Shares having an aggregate value of less than $500 million are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Jarden will buy all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. The price Jarden will select is sometimes referred to as the “Final Purchase


Price.” All Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Final Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the purchase price for the Shares, regardless of any delay in making such payment. All Shares acquired in the Offer will be acquired at the Final Purchase Price. Jarden reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the per Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the value of Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law.

Jarden reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Offer upon the occurrence of certain conditions more specifically described in Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, or to amend the Offer in any respect, subject to applicable law.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if, based on the Final Purchase Price, Shares having an aggregate value in excess of $500 million, or such greater amount as Jarden may elect to pay, subject to applicable law, have been validly tendered, and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, at prices at or below the Final Purchase Price, Jarden will accept the Shares to be purchased in the following order of priority: (i) from all holders of “odd lots” of less than 100 Shares who properly tender all their Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Date (partial tenders will not qualify for this preference); (ii) from all other stockholders who properly tender Shares at or below the Final Purchase Price, on a pro rata basis, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in the Offer to Purchase and with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of fractional Shares; and (iii) only if necessary to permit Jarden to purchase $500 million in value of Shares (or such greater amount as Jarden may elect to pay, subject to applicable law), from holders who have tendered Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the holder’s Shares be purchased if any Shares are purchased in the Offer as described in the Offer to Purchase (for which the condition was not initially satisfied) by random lot, to the extent feasible. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, stockholders whose Shares are conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their Shares. Therefore, it is possible that Jarden will not purchase all of the Shares that you tender even if you tender them at or below the Final Purchase Price. Shares tendered at prices greater than the Final Purchase Price and Shares not purchased because of proration provisions will be returned to the tendering stockholders at Jarden’s expense promptly after the Expiration Date. See Section 1, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase.

The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to certain other conditions, including the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). See Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase.

Jarden’s directors and executive officers are entitled to participate in the Offer on the same basis as all other stockholders. See Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase.

WE ARE THE OWNER OF RECORDS OF SHARES HELD FOR YOUR ACCOUNT. AS SUCH, WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN TENDER YOUR SHARES, AND THEN ONLY PURSUANT TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. WE ARE SENDING YOU THE AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY; YOU CANNOT USE IT TO TENDER SHARES WE HOLD FOR YOUR ACCOUNT.

PLEASE INSTRUCT US AS TO WHETHER YOU WISH US TO TENDER ANY OR ALL OF THE SHARES WE HOLD FOR YOUR ACCOUNT ON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.


Please note the following:

 

  1. You may tender your Shares at prices not greater than $36.00 nor less than $32.00 per Share, as indicated in the attached Instruction Form, net to you in cash, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

 

  2. You should consult with your broker or other financial or tax advisors on the possibility of designating the priority in which your Shares will be purchased in the event of proration.

 

  3. The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Shares being validly tendered. However, the Offer is subject to other conditions, which you should read carefully. See Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase.

 

  4. The Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, March 5, 2012, unless Jarden extends the Offer.

 

  5. The Offer is for up to $500 million in value of Shares. At the maximum Final Purchase Price of $36.00 per Share, Jarden could purchase 13,888,888 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed (representing approximately 15.2% of the Shares outstanding as of January 24, 2012). At the minimum Final Purchase Price of $32.00, Jarden could purchase 15,625,000 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed (representing approximately 17.1% of the Shares outstanding as of January 24, 2012).

 

  6. Tendering stockholders who are tendering Shares held in their name or who tender their Shares directly to the Depositary will not be obligated to pay any brokerage commissions or fees to Jarden or to the Dealer Manager, solicitation fees, or, except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Amended Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes on Jarden’s purchase of Shares under the Offer.

 

  7. If you wish to tender portions of your Shares at different prices, you must complete a separate Instruction Form for each price at which you wish to tender each such portion of your Shares. We must submit separate Amended Letters of Transmittal on your behalf for each price you will accept for each portion tendered.

 

  8. If you are an odd lot holder and you instruct us to tender on your behalf all such Shares at or below the purchase price before the Expiration Date and check the box captioned “Odd Lots” on the attached Instruction Form, Jarden, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, will accept all such Shares for purchase before proration, if any, of the purchase of other Shares properly tendered at or below the purchase price and not properly withdrawn.

 

  9. If you wish to condition your tender upon the purchase of all Shares tendered or upon Jarden’s purchase of a specified minimum number of the Shares which you tender, you may elect to do so and thereby avoid possible proration of your tender. Jarden’s purchase of Shares from all tenders that are so conditioned will be determined by random lot. To elect such a condition complete the box entitled “Conditional Tender” in the attached Instruction Form.

 

  10. None of the Company, our Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary or the Information Agent makes any recommendation as to whether any shareholder should tender Shares pursuant to the Offer or as to the purchase price(s) at which a shareholder may choose to tender them. You must make your own decision after consulting with your own advisors as to whether to tender your Shares and, if so, how many Shares to tender and the price(s) at which you will tender your Shares. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Amended Letter of Transmittal, including the Company’s reasons for making the Offer. See Section 2. Our directors and executive officers are entitled to participate in the Offer on the same basis as all other stockholders. However, all of our directors and executive officers have advised us that they do not intend to tender their Shares in the Offer (including shares they are deemed to beneficially own).

 

  11. The Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, which you should read carefully.

As described in the Offer to Purchase, under certain conditions, a shareholder owning beneficially or of record an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and who tenders all such Shares and satisfies the other requirements set forth in the Offer to Purchase, may have his or her Shares accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered Shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders, or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more Shares, even if these holders have separate accounts representing fewer than 100 Shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed only if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. The undersigned either (check one box):

The undersigned either (check one box):

¨ is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), Shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares.

In addition, the undersigned is tendering Shares either (check one box):

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Instruction 14 to the Amended Letter of Transmittal)

A stockholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the stockholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Amended Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by Jarden pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Jarden urges stockholders to consult their own tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional

 

¨ The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is:              Shares.

 

¨ If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Jarden may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:

 

¨ The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.


The method of delivery of this document, is at the election and risk of the tendering stockholder. If delivery is by mail, then registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.

Jarden’s Board of Directors has authorized Jarden to make the Offer. However, neither Jarden, nor any member of its Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Depositary makes any recommendation to stockholders as to whether they should tender or refrain from tendering their Shares or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which any stockholder may choose to tender Shares. Neither Jarden, any member of its Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Depositary has authorized any person to make any recommendation with respect to the Offer. Stockholders should carefully evaluate all information in the Offer to Purchase, consult their own financial and tax advisors and make their own decisions about whether to tender Shares and, if so, how many Shares to tender and the purchase price or purchase prices at which to tender.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JARDEN ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN PRICE RANGE AND

EXTENSION OF EXPIRATION DATE IN SELF-TENDER OFFER

RYE, N.Y., February 21, 2012—Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH) announced today that it has amended its previously announced “modified Dutch auction” self-tender offer to increase the price range at which it will purchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), to a purchase price of not greater than $36.00 and not less than $32.00 per share. The maximum aggregate size of the repurchase remains unchanged at $500 million in value of Common Stock. As a result of the amendment to the price range, the Company has also extended the expiration date of the tender offer to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 5, 2012. The Company also indicated that there would be no further changes to the tender offer price range. The Company’s Common Stock closed on the New York Stock Exchange at $34.51 per share on Friday, February 17, 2012. The shares closed at $30.71 per share at the close on January 23, 2012, immediately prior to the announcement of the Company’s intention to commence a tender offer.

In connection with the amendment of the previously announced tender offer, members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Officers of the Company have indicated they may tender up to 15% of their shares of Common Stock. In conjunction with this decision, the members of the “Office of the Chairman”, Martin E. Franklin, Ian G. H. Ashken and James E. Lillie, have committed to tendering in aggregate 526,000 shares, or approximately 10.5% of each of their respective current beneficial holdings of Common Stock, within the revised range. As previously announced, the tender offer will not be conditioned upon any minimum number of shares being tendered. The tender offer is, however, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as outlined in the original Offer to Purchase. The tender offer was originally made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, dated January 26, 2012, which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and forwarded to shareholders. A Supplement to the Offer to Purchase and amended letters of transmittal and related materials containing a complete explanation of the amended terms and conditions of the tender offer and revised instructions for tendering shares of Common Stock will be promptly filed with the SEC and forwarded to shareholders of record.

Neither the Company nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation as to whether any shareholder should participate in the amended tender offer or as to the price or prices at which shareholders may choose to tender their shares in the amended tender offer.

The Company has retained Barclays Capital to act as the dealer manager for the tender offer, which can be contacted at 888-610-5877 (toll free).
