We are furnishing this Proxy Statement and the form of Proxy Card to you to solicit your Proxy (i.e., your permission) to vote your stock in connection with certain matters at the Annual Meeting.

What is a Proxy?

It is your legal designation of another person, called a “Proxy,” to vote the stock you own. The document that designates someone as your Proxy is also called a Proxy or a Proxy Card.

Who is paying the costs to prepare this document and solicit my Proxy?

We will pay all expenses associated with soliciting your Proxy, including the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the form of a Proxy Card.

Who is soliciting my Proxy and will anyone be compensated to solicit my Proxy?

Our Board of Directors is making this solicitation of Proxies. In addition to solicitation by use of the mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit Proxies in person or by telephone, electronic mail, facsimile transmission or other means of communication. Our directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation for their proxy solicitation efforts, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any solicitation.

	You will be voting on the following:

	·	the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for 2011.

Who is entitled to vote?

You may vote if you owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on June 18, 2010. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. As of June 18, 2010, there were 50,049,150 shares of our common stock outstanding. A list of our stockholders will be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose relevant to the meeting, at our headquarters for a period of 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting.

May other matters be raised at the Annual Meeting; how will the meeting be conducted?

We currently are not aware of any business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than the two matters described above. Under federal securities laws, Delaware law and our governing documents, no other business aside from procedural matters may be raised at the Annual Meeting unless proper notice has been given to the Company by the stockholders. If other business is properly raised, your Proxies have authority to vote as they think best, including to adjourn the meeting.

The Chairman of the meeting has broad authority to conduct the Annual Meeting so that the business of the meeting is carried out in an orderly and timely manner. In doing so, he has broad discretion to establish reasonable rules for discussion, comments and questions during the meeting. The Chairman of the meeting is also entitled to rely upon applicable law regarding disruptions or disorderly conduct to ensure that the Annual Meeting proceeds in a manner that is fair to all participants.

How do I vote?

Proxies may be voted by returning the printed Proxy Card. For more information about how to vote your Proxy, please see the instructions on your Proxy Card.

In addition to voting by Proxy, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. However, in order to assist us in tabulating votes at the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote by Proxy even if you plan to be present at the Annual Meeting.

What materials are available on the Internet?

This Proxy Statement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Annual Report to Stockholders and other financial documents are available free of charge at the Investor Relations tab on our corporate web site at www.prestigebrandsinc.com. The Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K also are available free of charge on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

How will my Proxy be voted?

The individuals named on the Proxy Card will vote your Proxy in the manner you indicate on the Proxy Card. If your Proxy Card is signed but does not contain specific instructions, your Proxy will be voted “FOR” all of the directors nominated and “FOR” ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.

Can I change my mind and revoke my Proxy?

	Yes. To revoke a Proxy given pursuant to this solicitation, you must:

	·	sign another Proxy Card with a later date and return it to our Secretary at or before the Annual Meeting; or

	·	provide our Secretary with a written notice of revocation dated later than the date of the Proxy at or before the Annual Meeting; or

	·	attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Note that attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke a Proxy if you do not actually vote at the Annual Meeting.

What if I receive more than one copy of these Proxy materials?

The receipt of multiple copies of these Proxy materials means that you have more than one account with brokers or our transfer agent. Please vote all of your shares. We also recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is Computershare, Ltd., 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 and it may be reached at (781) 575-3400.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. A quorum exists when the holders of a majority of the 50,049,150 shares of our common stock outstanding on June 18, 2010 are present in person or by Proxy at the meeting. The shares represented by withhold votes, abstentions and broker non-votes (as defined below) regarding proposals in the Proxy Statement will be considered present for quorum purposes.

How are votes counted for each proposal in the Proxy Statement?

If you are a stockholder of record and submit a Proxy without specifying a choice on any given matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting, the Proxy holders will vote your shares according to the Board of Director’s recommendation on the matter.

If you hold shares in a brokerage account, then, under NYSE rules and Delaware corporation law:

·	Election of Directors

With respect to the election of directors, your broker is not entitled to vote your shares on this matter if no instructions are received from you. If your broker does not vote (a “broker non-vote”), this is not considered a vote cast and therefore, will have no effect on the election of directors.

·	Ratify Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

With respect to ratification of the appointment of an independent registered accounting firm, your broker is entitled to vote your shares on this matter if no instructions are received from you. Broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast and, therefore, will be counted neither for nor against this matter.

How many votes do I have and can I cumulate my votes?

You have one vote for every share of our common stock that you own. Cumulative voting is not allowed.

Will my vote be confidential?

Yes. We will continue our practice of keeping the votes of all stockholders confidential. Specific stockholder votes will not be disclosed to our directors, officers, employees or agents, except:

●		as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;

●		in a dispute regarding authenticity of Proxies and ballots;

●		in the case of a contested Proxy solicitation, if the other party soliciting Proxies does not agree to comply with the confidential voting policy; or

●		when a stockholder makes a written comment on the Proxy Card or otherwise communicates the vote to management.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

What is the structure of our Board of Directors?

The number of directors on our Board of Directors is fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office. Currently, our Board of Directors is comprised of five directors. All current members of the Board of Directors are standing for reelection, to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

How are nominees evaluated; what are the minimum qualifications?

We believe that our directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the interests of the stockholders. They must also have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom, mature judgment and demonstrated leadership skills. We also endeavor to have a Board of Directors representing a range of experiences in areas that are relevant to the company’s business activities.

Below we identify and describe the key experience, qualifications and skills our directors bring to the Board that are important in light of the Company’s business and structure. The directors’ experiences, qualifications and skills that the Nominating and Governance Committee considered in their nomination are included in their individual biographies.

Leadership Experience. We believe that directors with experience in significant leadership positions over an extended period, especially chief executive officer positions, provide the company with valuable insights and strategic thinking. These people generally possess extraordinary leadership qualities and the ability to identify and develop those qualities in others. They demonstrate a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategy, risk management and the methods to drive change and growth.

Finance Experience. We believe that an understanding of finance and financial reporting process is important for our directors. We measure our operating and strategic performance by reference to financial targets. In addition, accurate financial reporting and robust auditing are critical to our success and developing stockholders confidence in our reporting processes under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We expect all of our directors to be financially literate.

·	Consumer Products Experience. We seek to have directors with experience as executives, directors or in other leadership positions in the industries in which we participate. We seek directors that have experience in managing consumer product businesses.

·	Marketing Experience. The Company seeks to grow organically by identifying and developing opportunities for expanding distribution of its existing product offerings while also developing and launching new products to sell into the market. Therefore, marketing expertise is important to us.

What roles does diversity play in the selection of members of the Board?

In evaluating potential candidates for Board membership, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers, among other things, independence, character, ability to exercise sound judgment, diversity of age, gender and ethnic background and professional experience. The Board believes in a governing style that emphasizes respect for diversity in perspective and includes individuals from diverse backgrounds. The Board believes that diversity is important because various points of view contribute to a more effective, engaged Board and better decision-making processes.

Who are the nominees this year?

The nominees for the Board of Directors consist of five nominees who, other than Matthew M. Mannelly and Charles J. Hinkaty, were elected at our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If elected, each nominee would

hold office until the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his respective successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death or resignation. These nominees, their ages at the date of this Proxy Statement and the year in which they first became directors are set forth in the table below.

How often did the Board of Directors meet in 2010?

The Board of Directors held nine meetings during 2010. Each director is expected to attend each meeting of the Board of Directors and those Committees on which he serves. Each of our directors attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and those Committees on which he served during the last fiscal year. The Board of Directors expects that its members will attend the Annual Meetings of Stockholders. All directors who were members of our Board of Directors at the time of the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended such meeting.

Has the Board of Directors appointed a Lead Director for non-management sessions of the Board of Directors?

Yes. The Board of Directors has appointed Dr. Costley as Lead Director to preside over non-management and executive sessions of the Board of Directors.

What Committees have been established by the Board of Directors?

The Board of Directors currently has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. On August 4, 2009, the Board of Directors eliminated the Strategic Planning Committee. As required by the NYSE, all members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees are independent directors. The following table sets forth the current membership of the Company’s standing committees:

Committee	Membership

Audit Committee	John E. Byom (Chairman) Gary E. Costley Patrick M. Lonergan
Compensation Committee	Gary E. Costley (Chairman) John E. Byom Patrick M. Lonergan
Nominating and Governance Committee	Patrick M. Lonergan (Chairman) John E. Byom Gary E. Costley

Who are our independent directors?

In accordance with the NYSE’s listing requirements, the Board of Directors has evaluated each of its directors’ independence from the Company and its management. In its review of each director’s independence, the Board of Directors reviewed whether any transactions or relationships exist currently or, existed during the past three years, between each director and the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates, equity investors or independent auditors. The Board of Directors also examined whether there were any transactions or relationships between each director and members of the senior management of the Company or their affiliates. Based on the review of the Board of Directors and the NYSE’s definition of “independence,” the Board of Directors has determined that a majority of the Board of Directors is “independent.” The independent directors currently are Messrs. Byom, Costley, Hinkaty and Lonergan. The Board of Directors has also determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is “independent” for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and that Mr. Byom is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by SEC regulations.

Does the Board of Directors evaluate itself and its committees?

Yes. Every year the Board of Directors and its Committees complete a self-evaluation of their performance through written questionnaires and follow-up discussion by the Board of Directors and the respective Committees. In the event the Board of Directors or its Committees determine that modifications to their practices are required, they will promptly institute the required changes to the Company’s corporate governance practices and the documents through which such practices are effectuated.

What role does the Board play in the oversight of risk management?

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through its Committees. Throughout the year, the Board and the Committees to which it has delegated responsibility conduct risk assessments and discuss identified risks and how to eliminate or mitigate such risks.

Management communicates routinely with the Board and its Committees on significant risks and how they are being managed, and directors are free to communicate directly with senior management. Management believes that the Company has developed effective internal control processes to identify and manage risks.

The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing the Company’s risk management. It oversees risks related to the Company’s financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters. The Audit Committee oversees the internal audit function and the Company’s ethics and compliance program. The Compensation Committee evaluates the risks associated with the Company’s compensation philosophy and programs. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees risks associated with its areas of responsibility, including, along with the Audit Committee, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. In addition, the Board is routinely informed of developments at the Company that could affect the Company’s risk profile and business in general.

How can I communicate with the Board of Directors?

Stockholders and other interested parties may send communications to the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof by writing to the Board of Directors or any such Committee at Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., 90 North Broadway, Irvington, New York 10533, Attention: Secretary. The Secretary will distribute all stockholder and other interested party communications to the intended recipients and/or distribute to the entire Board of Directors, as appropriate.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 – RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Who has the Audit Committee selected as our independent accounting firm for 2011?

The Audit Committee has reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and evaluate its systems of internal control over financial reporting for 2011. However, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion decide to engage another independent registered public accounting firm as its auditor for 2011. In making the decision to reappoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is incompatible with maintaining that firm’s independence from the Company.

Is stockholder approval required for the appointment of an independent accounting firm for 2011?

Stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by applicable legal requirements. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. However, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors may, in their discretion, still direct the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Likewise, stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would not prevent the Audit Committee, in its discretion, from selecting and engaging another independent registered public accounting firm.

Will representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP attend the Annual Meeting?

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

How does the Audit Committee pre-approve services provided by the independent accounting firm?

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

What is the purpose of Compensation Discussion and Analysis?

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis has been prepared in order to provide a summary of the policies and procedures established by the Company in reviewing and determining compensation for its executive officers. Specifically, the following discussion will outline, among other things, the objectives of executive compensation, the elements of executive compensation, how determinations are made as to specific elements of and total executive compensation, severance and change-in-control payments, and executive officer involvement in setting executive compensation.

It is the intent of the Company, through the efforts of the Compensation Committee, to:

·	Motivate our leaders to deliver a high degree of business performance and ensure that their interests are closely aligned with those of our investors;

·	Attract and retain highly qualified senior leaders who can drive a global enterprise to success in today’s competitive marketplace;

·	Differentiate compensation so that it varies based on individual and team performance;

·	Establish executive compensation that is competitive with the compensation offered by similarly-situated companies;

·	Focus management on both the Company’s short-term and long-term strategy, performance and success; and

·	Assess the Company’s risks, if any, related to its compensation practices and programs.

What are the overall objectives of our executive compensation programs?

The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies which govern executive compensation. The general philosophy of our executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain talented management while ensuring that our executive officers are compensated in a way that advances the interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company uses the following types of cash and equity compensation to compensate and reward its executive officers for their performance: base salary, a cash-based annual incentive plan and long-term equity awards comprised of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. The Compensation Committee believes that the elements of compensation that it selected creates a flexible compensation package that focuses and rewards executives for short and long-term performance while aligning the interests of our executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Each element of executive compensation described above is determined based on:

·	The executive’s level of responsibility and function within the Company;

·	The executive’s performance within the Company;

·	The overall performance and profitability of the Company; and

·	Executive compensation offered to similarly-situated executives at peer companies.

Through a combination of salary, performance-based awards (cash and equity) and other equity awards, the Compensation Committee desires to provide attractive and competitive compensation to the executive officers, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the Company’s performance.

How are our executive compensation programs structured in order to address our objectives?

Performance. Our executive compensation includes a significant amount of performance-based, or at-risk, compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that the use of performance-based compensation allows the Company to tailor the compensation paid to the executive officers to the Company’s performance and maintain a compensation system that significantly affects executive compensation in the event the Company does not meet the pre-determined performance goals. Furthermore, by utilizing threshold performance targets as a part of executive

compensation, in the event the Company does not meet these targets, performance-based incentive compensation is entirely at-risk and is not paid to the executive officers; however, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors generally retain and are entitled to exercise their discretion to increase or decrease the size of an award to an employee based on the employee’s individual performance or to pay awards that were not earned when the circumstances warrant – i.e., for employee morale and retention purposes.

Alignment. By motivating and incentivizing the executive officers with regard to the Company’s short and long-term goals, the Compensation Committee believes that the interest of the executive officers and the Company’s stockholders are properly aligned.

Does the Compensation Committee use the services of an independent consultant?

Yes. During 2010, the Compensation Committee retained Compensation Advisory Partners LLC (“CAP”), an independent compensation consultant to conduct an analysis of the Company’s total compensation package for executive officers as well as design a long-term incentive program that will assist in driving the Company’s strategy and focus key individuals on the long-term success of the Company. CAP benchmarked compensation for the top executives and developed a new sales incentive program for the Company’s sales force aimed at facilitating the Company’s strategy of profitable revenue growth.

Does the Compensation Committee benchmark use a peer group of companies?

Yes. The group of peer companies identified by CAP, and approved by the Compensation Committee, is currently comprised of the following publicly-traded companies:

●

Chattem Inc.

●

Maidenform Brands, Inc.

●

Elizabeth Arden, Inc.

●

Smart Balance, Inc.

●

Hain Celestial Group, Inc.

●

WD-40 Company

●

Helen of Troy Limited

●

Bare Essentials, Inc.

●

Inter Parfums, Inc.

●

Zep, Inc.

Lifetime Brands, Inc.

What are the elements of our executive compensation program and why do we pay them?

The following table provides additional information regarding the various elements of our executive compensation.

Pay Element	What the Pay Element Is Intended to Reward	Purpose of the Pay Element

How do we determine the types and amounts of executive compensation?

In structuring executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has offered compensation packages targeted at the median level of total executive compensation offered to similarly-situated executive officers at companies in the Company’s peer group. In establishing the specific components of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has based such decisions on the market data and recommendations based on such data provided to it by its independent compensation consultant as well as the strategic planning by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. In 2010, since the Compensation Committee did not grant any equity awards to the Company’s executive officers and equity incentive compensation is typically a component of compensation granted to the Company’s executive officers, the Company compensated its executive officers below the median level of compensation offered to similarly-situated executives employed by companies in the Company’s peer group.

Base Salary. Base salary for our executive officers is determined based on the scope of work, skills, experience, responsibilities, performance and seniority of the executive, peer group salaries for similarly-situated positions and the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer (except in the case of his own compensation which is determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors). Except where an existing agreement establishes an executive’s salary, the Compensation Committee reviews executive officers’ salaries annually at the end of the fiscal year and establishes the base salaries for the upcoming fiscal year. The Company views base salary as a fixed component of executive compensation that compensates the executive officer for the daily responsibilities assumed in keeping the Company operating throughout the year. Due to the Company’s performance in 2009, the Compensation Committee decided not to increase base salaries for the Company’s executive officers in 2010. The following table sets forth the base salaries to be paid to our Named Executive Officers (as hereinafter defined) who will be employed by the Company during 2011:

Name	2011 Salary
Mr. Mannelly	$530,000
Mr. Anderson	$370,000
Dr. Boyko	$257,500
Mr. Parkinson	$212,700

Annual Cash Incentive Plan. As part of our executive compensation, we have established an annual cash incentive plan which provides our executive officers with the ability to receive additional cash compensation based on a percentage of base salary and the Company’s performance. At the start of a fiscal year, management and the Compensation Committee establish performance measures for the annual cash incentive plan. Following the close of the fiscal year, management assesses the Company’s actual performance against certain pre-determined performance targets for net sales and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) on an annual basis and determines the amount, if any, of additional cash compensation earned by the executive officers. In order to be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation, the executive must be employed with the Company at the end of the Company’s fiscal year.

The Company views the Annual Cash Incentive Plan as a performance-based component of executive compensation that motivates and incentivizes the executive officers for achieving the short-term goals of the Company and its stockholders.

The following table indicates, for the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, the 2010 net sales, EBITDA and payout levels approved by the Compensation Committee that correspond to the threshold, target and maximum performance by the Company.

Performance Level (Percent of Plan)	Net Sales	EBITDA	Payout (Percent of Annual Cash Incentive Payment) Amount
Threshold (95%)	$291,000,000	$87,600,000	50%
Target (100%)	$305,800,000	$92,200,000	100%
Maximum (105%)	$321,000,000	$96,800,000	200%

Our 2010 net sales and EBITDA were $302,000,000 and $92,000,000, respectively. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion and credited expenses incurred in 2010 for the reduction in force and change in the chief executive officer for purposes of calculating payments under the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan. Due to a credit to EBITDA in the amount of $3,100,000 for the expenses incurred in connection with the reduction in force and change in the chief executive officer in 2010, under the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, our employees received a bonus payout in an amount equal to 130% of their target bonus, subject to certain percentage increases or decreases based on individual performance reviews. The 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan payouts to our Named Executive Officers are set forth in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table on pages 32-33 of this Proxy Statement.

Performance Matrix for 2010. The performance matrix established for 2010 had a threshold payment equal to 50% of target bonus, target amount equal to 100% of the target bonus and the maximum payout equal to 200% of target bonus. Under the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee was entitled to exercise its discretion to increase or decrease the size of the cash payment by up to 15% based on the employee’s individual performance within the Company.

Performance Matrix for 2011. For the 2011 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, we have developed a performance matrix in which the threshold payout is 50% of target bonus, the target amount is 100% of the target bonus and the maximum payout is 200% of target bonus. If the Company’s performance for 2011 is at a level equal to approximately 95% of its performance in 2010, the Company’s executives will earn 50% of their target bonus. Under the 2011 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee is entitled to exercise its discretion to increase or decrease the size of the cash payment by up to 15% based on the employee’s individual performance within the Company. Furthermore, the performance goals established under the 2011 Annual Cash Incentive Plan are exclusive of any acquisitions or divestitures that the Company may make during such time period. As a result, in the event the Company consummates an acquisition or a divestiture in 2011, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to modify the performance goals after considering the effect of such acquisition or divestiture on the expected financial performance of the Company.

Equity Awards. Executive officers of the Company are eligible to receive equity awards under our 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Awards under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan help relate a significant portion of an executive officer’s long-term compensation directly to stock price appreciation realized by all of our stockholders and aligns an executive officer’s interests with that of our stockholders. Under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, our executive officers have received restricted common stock, restricted stock units and stock options. No equity grants were made during 2010. Equity grants consisting of restricted stock units and stock options were made to the Company’s executive officers and a limited number of other employees on April 8, 2010.

The following table indicates, for 2010 equity awards, the 2010 net sales, EBITDA and payout levels for performance-based restricted common stock approved by the Compensation Committee that correspond to the threshold, target and maximum performance by the Company.

Performance Level (Percent of Plan)	Net Sales	EBITDA	Payout (Percent of Common Stock Eligible to be Earned) Amount
Threshold (90%)	$291,000,000	$87,600,000	75%
Target (100%)	$305,800,000	$92,200,000	100%
Maximum (105%)	$321,000,000	$96,800,000	150%

Our 2010 net sales and EBITDA were $302,000,000 and $92,000,000, respectively. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion and credited expenses incurred in 2010 for the reduction in force and change in the chief executive officer for purposes of calculating the number of shares of performance-based restricted common stock that were earned by our employees in 2010 under the 2005 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan. The credit of $3,100,000 of such expenses to EBITDA resulted in our employees earning an equity payout in an amount equal to 130% of the numbers of shares of restricted common stock eligible to be earned based on the Company’s performance in 2010.

The number of shares earned by our Named Executive Officers based on our 2010 performance, subject to forfeiture under the terms of such grant, is set forth below.

Named Executive Officer	Number of Shares Earned in 2010
Mr. Mannelly	–
Mr. Pettie (1)	–
Mr. Anderson	8,490
Dr. Boyko	4,965
Mr. Jolly (1)	–
Mr. Kelly (1)	–
Mr. Parkinson	4,310

(1) The Named Executive Officer’s employment ended with the Company prior to the vesting date for the grant of restricted common stock; therefore, the grant of restricted common stock lapsed.

Restricted Common Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The awards of restricted common stock given to certain employees in fiscal 2009 are earned annually (one-third of the grant amount of shares each year) based on the Company’s achieving annual performance targets for net sales and EBITDA, but vest at the end of a three-year performance period, subject to forfeiture if the average annual payout percentage during the three-year performance period is less than 50%. Under the terms of those awards, depending on the Company’s performance as measured against the performance goals, our executive officers could receive no shares of common stock or an amount of shares on a sliding scale between the minimum (threshold) amount and the maximum amount, inclusive of the target amount. The performance matrix established for 2010 had a threshold payment equal to 75% of the shares granted, a target payout equal to 100% of the shares granted and a maximum payout equal to 150% of the shares granted.

On April 8, 2010, instead of performance-based restricted common stock, the Compensation Committee granted restricted stock units that cliff vest after three years, subject to the terms of the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Upon vesting of the restricted stock units, the grantee will receive that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of restricted stock units so granted. The restricted stock units are not considered performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) and therefore, the value of these awards made to our executive officers who are subject to Section 162(m) may not be deductible by the Company, depending on the total amount of compensation received by such executive, during the fiscal year in which the restricted stock units were granted.

Stock Option Awards

On April 8, 2010, our executive officers received grants of stock options for a specified number of shares. The stock option grants have an exercise price equal to $9.03, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on April 8, 2010, the date of grant. The stock options vest in three equal annual installments commencing on April 8, 2011. The term of the stock options is 10 years from the date of grant.

Overall Philosophy and Objectives Regarding Equity Awards

The Company views the above-mentioned equity awards as components of executive compensation that motivate and incentivize the management to achieve the long-term performance goals (including stock price appreciation) of the Company and its stockholders. In addition, under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, the restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options awarded to management are subject to acceleration under certain circumstances, including a change-in-control of the Company. With regard to change-in-control payments, the Compensation Committee believes that the additional compensation that a grantee would be entitled to receive in connection with a change-in-control of the Company is in the best interests of the Company as such additional

compensation is necessary to retain the grantees (who would be instrumental in effectuating such change-in-control transaction) in the Company’s employ while a change-in-control transaction is being contemplated, negotiated and consummated. For more information regarding change-in-control benefits, please see the section titled “Severance and Change-in-Control Provisions” below.

The Compensation Committee believes equity-based incentive compensation aligns executive and stockholder interests because:

The use of a multi-year vesting schedule for equity awards encourages executive retention and emphasizes the attainment of long-term performance goals.

Paying a significant portion of executive compensation with long-term incentive-based compensation motivates and incentivizes the executive officers to meet the long-term performance goals set by the Compensation Committee.

The executive officers will hold significant amounts of equity in the Company as required by the Company’s Stock Ownership Guidelines and will be motivated to increase stockholder value over the long-term.

The Compensation Committee determined executive equity awards based on the market data provided by its independent compensation consultant and discussions by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, with and without the participation of senior management.

Severance and Change-in-Control Provisions. All of the Company’s executive officers have executed employment agreements with the Company that provide for severance benefits in the event their employment with the Company is terminated under specific circumstances. In addition, the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan provides certain benefits to the recipients of equity awards under certain circumstances. For additional information regarding severance and change-in-control payments that the Company may be obligated to pay to a Named Executive Officer in the future due to the termination of his or her employment under certain circumstances and/or a change-in-control of the Company, please see the sections titled “Executive Compensation and Other Matters – Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control,” “Executive Compensation and Other Matters – Employment Agreements” and “Executive Compensation and Other Matters – Additional Vesting Provisions” contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Pursuant to the terms of the equity award agreements between the Company and its employees, in the event there is a change-in-control of the Company, the shares of restricted common stock, restricted stock units and stock options granted to the employees will vest upon the consummation of a change-in-control of the Company, even if they remain employed by the Company after such change-in-control. None of the Company’s employees have a single trigger for cash compensation upon the consummation of a change-in-control of the Company.

The Company has agreed to vest equity granted under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan in connection with a change-in-control of the Company in order to retain the grantees during any period in which the Company contemplates, negotiates and is in the process of consummating a change-in-control of the Company. The participation of the grantees in a change-in-control transaction would be critical to quickly and efficiently consummating a change-in-control transaction and the accelerated vesting of the equity awards would help retain the grantees and maintain their focus and attention on the transaction while it may be pending. On April 8, 2010 the Compensation Committee decided to switch to equity grants that vest automatically upon a change-in-control of the Company, due to the receipt by the Compensation Committee of advice by its independent compensation consultant that switching to single trigger vesting for equity grants in the event of a change-in-control of the Company would further align equity-based executive compensation granted by the Company with the equity-based executive compensation granted by companies in the Company’s peer group. Any equity awards in existence on April 8, 2010 were subsequently amended to provide for single trigger vesting in the event of a change-in-control of the Company.

How have we performed against our performance targets and how has our performance affected compensation?

For each fiscal year, the Company establishes a performance plan against which the Company’s actual financial results are measured for purposes of determining performance-based compensation to be paid to the Company’s employees. In connection with the performance plan, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approve a performance matrix for each fiscal year that mandates performance-based compensation, if any, that will be paid to employees based on various combinations of net sales and EBITDA performance by the Company. Each performance matrix has threshold, target and maximum payment levels and, depending on the Company’s performance, an employee may earn no performance-based compensation or a payment of performance-based compensation on a sliding-scale between a minimum (threshold) amount and a maximum amount, inclusive of the target amount, based on the Company’s actual net sales and EBITDA performance.

The Company’s 2010 net sales and EBITDA were $302,000,000 and $92,000,000, respectively. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion and credited expenses incurred in 2010 for the reduction in force and change in the chief executive officer for purposes of calculating payments under the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan and the number of shares of performance-based restricted common stock that were earned by our employees in 2010. Due to a credit to EBITDA in the amount of $3,100,000 for the expenses incurred in connection with the reduction in force and change in the chief executive officer in 2010, under the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan and the performance-based shares of restricted common stock granted under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, our employees received a bonus payout in an amount equal to 130% of their target bonus, subject to certain percentage increases or decreases based on individual performance reviews, and earned 130% of the number of shares of restricted common stock eligible to be earned based on the Company’s performance in 2010 (second tranche of the Company’s restricted common stock granted on May 30, 2008), subject to forfeiture under the terms of such grant. Since the Company targets total compensation (inclusive of base salary, annual cash incentive compensation and equity awards) at the 50th percentile level of similarly-situated employees at companies in the Company’s peer group and the Compensation Committee did not make any equity grants to the Company’s employees in 2010, the compensation paid to the Company’s employees in 2010 was at a level below the targeted 50th percentile level of similarly-situated employees at companies in the Company’s peer group.

How much performance-based compensation can be earned in 2011?

Based on the Company’s actual performance for 2011, its executive officers would receive no incentive compensation or earn (i) an incentive cash payment ranging from 50% (threshold) to 200% (maximum) of their respective target bonuses, inclusive of the target amount; and (ii) a number of shares of common stock ranging from 75% (threshold) to 150% (maximum) of the performance-based restricted common stock granted on May 30, 2008 eligible to be earned during 2011 and issued at the applicable vesting date, subject to complete forfeiture if the average annual performance payout percentage (as set forth in the applicable annual performance grids) over the three-year performance period is less than 50%. Notwithstanding the amount of incentive compensation for 2011 set forth in the tables that follow, if our 2011 net sales or EBITDA performance does not achieve a minimum level, no incentive compensation will be payable to the Company’s employees despite the level of EBITDA or net sales performance, as applicable.

The following table sets forth the approximate amount of cash incentive payments under the 2011 Annual Cash Incentive Plan that the Named Executive Officers (who will be employed by the Company in 2011) would receive based upon the achievement of certain levels of performance:

Name	Threshold Award	Target Award	Maximum Award (irrespective of amount of growth)
Mr. Mannelly	$238,500	$477,000	$954,000
Mr. Anderson	$111,000	$222,000	$444,000
Dr. Boyko	$57,938	$115,875	$231,750
Mr. Parkinson	$49,928	$99,855	$199,710

The following table sets forth the approximate number of shares of restricted common stock that the Named Executive Officers (who will be employed by the Company in 2011) could earn in 2011 based upon certain levels of performance:

Name	Threshold Award	Target Award	Maximum Award (irrespective of amount of growth)
Mr. Mannelly	-	-	-
Mr. Anderson	4,898	6,531	9,797
Dr. Boyko	2,864	3,819	5,729
Mr. Parkinson	2,486	3,315	4,973

What policies are there on timing when equity awards are made?

Although the Company typically grants equity awards as soon as practicable after the beginning of a fiscal year, the Company did not grant any equity awards in 2010 but did make grants to the Company’s executive officers and certain additional employees on April 8, 2010. The equity awards are granted after the Chief Executive Officer has presented a proposed structure and level of awards and the Compensation Committee has fully reviewed all aspects of the awards, including, without limitation, the value of the awards and the vesting period. The Company does not have any policy of coordinating the timing of equity award grants with the release of material non-public information.

What factors are considered in decisions to materially modify compensation?

From time to time and at least annually in connection with our fiscal year end, the Compensation Committee will review market data, individual performance and retention needs in making decisions to adjust compensation materially. We do not have any set formula for determining the amount of each compensation element as a percentage in our executive officers’ compensation packages. We consider the competitive landscape for talent in our industry and geography and base our compensation decisions on how we want to position ourselves in the marketplace for talent.

Do you have a policy about recovery or adjustment of performance-based awards if an executive is guilty of misconduct?

If the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determines that an executive officer has engaged in fraudulent or intentional misconduct with regard to the reporting of the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will immediately take corrective action with regard to such misconduct, including without limitation, disciplinary procedures culminating in termination should the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors so determine. In addition, regardless of whether the financial statements need to be restated by the Company, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will pursue disgorgement of the incentive compensation that was not actually earned by the executive officer if actual performance was used to calculate the compensation earned.

What is the effect of accounting and tax treatments on compensation?

The accounting and tax treatments of executive compensation generally has not been a factor in the Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding the amounts of compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers. In addition, we do not expect accounting treatment of differing forms of equity awards to vary significantly and, therefore, accounting treatment is not expected to have a material effect on the Compensation Committee’s future selection of differing types of equity awards.

Section 162(m) and Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) imposes a $1,000,000 limit on the amount a public company may deduct for compensation paid to its Chief Executive Officer or any of the company’s four other most highly compensated

executive officers who are employed by the company as of the end of the fiscal year. However, Section 162(m) does not apply to compensation that satisfies the requirements of Section 162(m) for “qualifying performance-based” compensation awarded by “outside directors”. The Compensation Committee desires to maximize deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the IRC to the extent practicable while maintaining a competitive, performance-based compensation program. However, the Compensation Committee also believes that it must reserve the right to award compensation which it deems to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, but which may not be tax deductible under Section 162(m) of the IRC. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the IRC.

What are the respective roles of the Compensation Committee, its consultant and our executive officers in determining executive compensation?

Executive Officer Compensation. Mr. Mannelly, our President and Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of certain members of senior management, participates in discussions with, and makes recommendations to, the Compensation Committee regarding the setting of base salaries and cash and equity incentive plan compensation for the other executive officers. Mr. Mannelly is assisted by certain members of senior management and an independent compensation consultant in reviewing the competitive landscape for executive talent and structuring the types and levels of executive compensation for review by the Compensation Committee.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing Mr. Mannelly’s compensation package. The Compensation Committee consulted with its independent compensation consultant in determining the compensation to be awarded to Mr. Mannelly in 2010 and 2011. In connection with Mr. Mannelly’s joining the Company, he received a signing bonus in the amount of $175,000. In addition, based on the Company’s performance and the terms of the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, Mr. Mannelly received a cash incentive payment in the amount of $380,900 for 2010.

The amounts shown in this column reflect the fair value of non-vested restricted common stock awards granted in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2008 and 2009 award values were recalculated from amounts shown in prior Proxy Statements to reflect their grant date fair values in accordance with current SEC disclosure requirements. The fair value of the restricted common stock awards is based on the market value of the Company's common stock on the date preceding the grant date. Due to the Company’s performance against its pre-determined net sales and earnings per share or EBITDA targets, as applicable, for 2008 and 2009, the Company determined that the performance-based restricted common stock granted in 2008 and one-third of

the performance-based restricted common stock granted in 2009 will not vest and reversed the related stock-based compensation expense.

(2)

The amounts shown in this column reflect the fair value of stock option awards, as applicable, granted in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2008 and 2009 award values were recalculated from amounts shown in prior Proxy Statements to reflect their grant date fair values in accordance with current SEC disclosure requirements. The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”). The Black-Scholes Model uses certain assumptions about expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the expected term of the stock options and risk-free interest rates. For additional information regarding the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model, please see Note 14 to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2010, which is included in the Annual Report to Stockholders accompanying this Proxy Statement.

Narrative Disclosure for the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-based Awards Table

What was the effect of employment agreements on executive compensation?

Certain elements of the executive compensation presented in the tables above were expressly included in the executive’s employment agreement with the Company and therefore not subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For example, the signing bonus and equity awards given to Mr. Mannelly in 2010, the bonuses paid to Messrs. Pettie and Kelly in 2008 and the severance paid to Messrs. Pettie and Kelly in 2010 were governed by express provisions in their respective employment agreements with the Company. In addition, during 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company paid the legal fees incurred by Mr. Anderson in connection with the securities class action law suit pursuant to the Company’s obligation to indemnify him in his capacity as an executive officer of the Company.

What part of executive compensation was comprised of non-equity incentive plan awards?

Pursuant to the terms of the non-equity incentive plan awards, based on the Company’s financial performance, the Named Executive Officers may receive no cash payment or a cash payment ranging from a threshold amount to a maximum amount, inclusive of the target amount, based on the Company’s performance and a performance grid approved by the Compensation Committee. For 2008, although the Company’s performance for 2008 did not achieve the level required for threshold payments under the 2008 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, after consideration of the totality of the business environment and circumstances, decided to exercise their discretion to make a cash payment in an amount equal to 60% of an employee’s target bonus for employee morale and retention purposes. No cash incentive payment was made to the Company’s employees for 2009 since the Company’s performance did not achieve the level required for threshold payments under the 2009 Annual Cash Incentive Plan. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors decided not to exercise their discretion to authorize a discretionary bonus payment to the Company’s employees for 2009. For 2010, employees of the Company received 130% of their target bonus payment under the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan, subject to a discretionary increase or decrease of the cash payment by up to 15% based on the executive officers individual performance within the Company.

What part of executive compensation was comprised of equity incentive plan awards?

Restricted Common Stock. The equity incentive plan awards granted to certain Named Executive Officers during 2008 and 2009 included restricted common stock. The restricted common stock grants made in 2008 and 2009 have been divided into three portions each of which are earned based on annual performance targets for each annual period during the three-year term of the award, subject to complete forfeiture if the average annual performance percentage payout for such three-year period is less than 50%. Under the terms of the restricted common stock awards, none of the shares of restricted common stock may vest or a number of shares of the restricted common stock may vest ranging from a threshold amount to a maximum amount, inclusive of the target amount, based on the Company’s performance and the applicable performance grid approved by the Compensation Committee for each year during the term of the award. No restricted common stock was granted by the Compensation Committee during 2010. The performance matrixes established for 2008, 2009 and 2010 had a threshold payment equal to 75% of the shares granted, a target payout equal to 100% of the shares granted and a maximum payout equal to 150% of the shares granted.

Stock Options. On May 25, 2007, stock options were granted to the employees of the Company (including certain of the Named Executive Officers) which vest in three equal annual installments commencing on May 25, 2008. The stock options have an exercise price equal to $12.86 which equals the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on May 25, 2007. The stock options have a term of ten years and expire on May 24, 2017.

On May 30, 2008, stock options were also granted to the employees of the Company (including the Named Executive Officers) which vest in three equal annual installments commencing on May 30, 2009. The stock options have an exercise price equal to $10.91 which equals the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on May 30, 2008. The stock options have a term of ten years and expire on May 29, 2018.

(1)

Except for the grant of restricted common stock to Mr. Mannelly which vests over a five year term, the disclosed amount represents the number of shares of restricted common stock that have not been earned as of March 31, 2010 but may be earned in the future, assuming target performance by the Company in 2011. The number of shares has been calculated using a 130% payout for the number of shares eligible to be earned in 2010 due to the Company’s performance in 2010. Due to the Company’s performance against certain net sales and earnings targets, all grants of performance-based restricted common stock through 2008 lapsed and one-third of the May 30, 2008 restricted common stock grant will not vest.

(2)	Represents the value of non-vested shares of restricted common stock on March 31, 2010, assuming target performance is attained in 2011, and is calculated using $9.00 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on March 31, 2010.

(5)	The dollar value was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of restricted common stock disclosed in column (i) for the Named Executive Officer by $9.00, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2010.

(6)	The Named Executive Officer’s employment with the Company ended on September 2, 2009 and therefore he had no equity outstanding on March 31, 2010.

OPTION EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED

During 2010, none of our Named Executive Officers exercised any stock options and none of the restricted common stock granted under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan to our Named Executive Officers vested.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

Our Named Executive Officers are entitled to certain benefits in the event their employment is terminated under specified circumstances. Circumstances which would trigger payments and/or other benefits to our Named Executive Officers include termination of employment by the Company without cause, termination by the Named Executive Officer for good reason or a change-in-control of the Company.

In order for a Named Executive Officer to receive the payment and/or benefits to which he is entitled pursuant to any applicable employment agreement, he must execute and deliver to the Company a release in a form satisfactory to the Company. So long as any Named Executive Officer who is receiving severance payments and/or benefits from the Company has not breached any applicable restrictive covenants (including, without limitation, non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and/or confidentiality agreements), the Company will continue to make any required payments. In the event a Named Executive Officer breaches any applicable restrictive covenant, the Company will cease making any future payments and providing any other benefits to the Named Executive Officer, and will also consider pursuing all legal and equitable remedies available to the Company under any applicable employment agreement and applicable law.

The following table sets forth payments and benefits that may be received by our Named Executive Officers under any existing employment agreements, equity grant agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, in the event of termination for specified reasons and/or a change-in-control of the Company. The following information has been prepared based on the assumption that the Named Executive Officer’s employment was terminated, or a change-in-control of the Company occurred, on March 31, 2010. With

respect to the accelerated vesting of equity awards, the value of such acceleration was calculated using (i) with respect to performance-based restricted common stock, the actual number of shares earned in 2010 and the target number of shares that remain eligible to be earned in 2011; and (ii) $9.00, the closing price for our common stock on March 31, 2010.

Employment Agreements

Do any Named Executive Officers have employment agreements?

Yes. We have employment agreements with Mr. Mannelly, Mr. Pettie, Mr. Anderson, Dr. Boyko, Mr. Jolly, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Parkinson.

What are the terms of Mr. Mannelly’s employment agreement?

On September 2, 2009, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Mannelly setting out the terms of his employment (the "Mannelly Employment Agreement"). The Mannelly Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years and thereafter will renew for consecutive one-year terms unless six (6) months prior notice of non-renewal is tendered by either party.

Mr. Mannelly will earn an annual base salary of $530,000 (which has been increased by $10,000 by the Compensation Committee to compensate Mr. Mannelly for the absence of typical perquisites being offered by companies in the Company’s Peer Group to their Chief Executive Officers) and is eligible to participate in the Company's annual incentive bonus plan with an annual target bonus equal to 90% of his base salary. In 2010, Mr. Mannelly received a one-time signing payment of $175,000 and an additional $380,900 based on Company and individual performance, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee.

In connection with his employment, Mr. Mannelly received two equity awards under the Company's 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. He received an award of options to purchase 1,125,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and an award of 135,000 shares of restricted common stock. Each award will vest in equal installments over five years, provided he is an employee in good standing on the applicable vesting dates.

If Mr. Mannelly's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Mannelly for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Mannelly Employment Agreement), then after Mr. Mannelly’s execution of a release in a form satisfactory to the Company, he would receive a payment of earned salary, expense reimbursement, vacation pay, and any payments due to him under the Company's benefits plans. He would also receive a payment of 1.5 times the sum of his annual base salary and average annual incentive bonus (as defined in the Agreement) for the three years preceding his termination. In addition to these payments, if Mr. Mannelly's termination occurs in connection with a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan), Mr. Mannelly's equity awards would accelerate and fully vest, and, depending on the value of the payments due to him, he would also be eligible to receive a gross-up for excise tax in certain limited circumstances.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mannelly Employment Agreement, Mr. Mannelly is subject to a non-competition covenant that generally limits his ability to compete with the Company in any countries in which it conducts business and non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants. These limitations continue for a period of 18 months following termination, regardless of the cause of the termination.

What were the terms of Mr. Pettie’s employment agreement?

On September 2, 2009, Mark Pettie resigned as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company. Mr. Pettie was a party to an employment contract (the “Pettie Employment Agreement”) with the Company. Mr. Pettie’s resignation was treated as a termination without cause under the Pettie Employment Agreement. At the time of his resignation, he executed a release of any claims against the Company except those generally arising out of the severance provisions of the Pettie Employment Agreement and certain obligations that the Company has to indemnify him. As a result, Mr. Pettie received the following benefits: one year's salary ($475,000), 2010 target bonus ($475,000), payout of the value of certain awards under the Company's 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan ($860,539) and continued participation for one-year in the Company's life, medical, dental and disability plans. Mr. Pettie continues to be bound by certain business protection provisions of the Pettie Employment Agreement (e.g., non-competition, non-disclosure, one-year non-disparagement and one-year non-solicitation).

What are the terms of Mr. Anderson’s employment agreement?

As of February 4, 2005, Prestige International Holdings, LLC (“Holdings LLC”), the Company and Prestige Brands, Inc.

In addition, if Mr. Anderson is entitled on the date of termination to coverage under the medical and prescription portions of the welfare plans, such coverage shall continue for Mr. Anderson and his covered dependents for a period ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination at the active employee cost payable by Mr. Anderson with respect to those costs paid by Mr. Anderson prior to the date of termination.

The Anderson Senior Management Agreement also contains certain confidentiality and one-year non-competition and non-solicitation provisions and other provisions that are customary for an executive employment agreement.

On December 18, 2008, the Company and Dr. Boyko executed an amendment to the Boyko Employment Agreement to ensure that the terms of the Boyko Employment Agreement, as amended, are in compliance with Section 409A of the IRC.

In addition, Dr. Boyko shall be eligible for and participate in the Company’s Annual Cash Incentive Plan under which she shall be eligible for an annual target bonus payment of 45% of annual base salary.

Additional Vesting Provisions

What are the additional vesting provisions?

Our 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, decide to vest the non-vested portion of a grantee’s restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock options grant if a grantee’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or retirement. All awards under the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan allow for the accelerated vesting of any non-vested portion of a restricted stock, restricted stock unit or stock option grant in the event of a change-in-control of the Company, whether or not the grantee is subsequently terminated.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During 2010, no member of the Compensation Committee, served as an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, was formerly an officer of the Company or its subsidiaries, or entered into any transactions with the Company or its subsidiaries that would require disclosure under applicable SEC regulations. During 2010, none of our executive officers served as a member of the Compensation Committee or on the board of

directors of another entity, any of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee or on our Board of Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Were there any conflict of interest transactions during 2010?

Our executive officers, directors, director nominees and greater than 5% stockholders did not have significant business relationships with us in 2010 which would require disclosure under applicable SEC regulations, and no other transactions which need to be disclosed under SEC regulations are currently planned for 2011.

Has the Board adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy?

During 2008, we adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy. A summary of the Related Person Transaction Policy is set forth below and the full text of the Policy is available at the Investor Relations tab on our web site at www.prestigebrandsinc.com.

Transactions Subject to the Policy

A Related Person Transaction is a transaction in which the Company (which, for purposes of this summary shall include the Company’s subsidiaries) is or will be a Participant (as defined below) and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any Related Person (as defined below) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The term “Participant” is broadly defined to include situations in which the Company is not technically a party but has influenced another party to enter into a transaction or provide value to a Related Person. For example, facilitating the use of a Related Person as a supplier to the Company’s contract manufacturer would constitute “participation” by the Company and bring such an arrangement within the scope of the Policy.

The following transactions are exempt from the Policy:

Payment of compensation by the Company to a Related Person for service to the Company in the capacity or capacities that give rise to the person’s status as a “Related Person” so long as the compensation is publicly disclosed, if such disclosure is required, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (or proxy or information statement incorporated by reference into such Annual Report);

·	Transactions available to all employees or all stockholders of the Company on the same terms and conditions; and

·	Transactions that, when aggregated with the amount of all other transactions between the Related Person and the Company, involve less than $120,000 in a fiscal year.

Definition of Related Person

For purposes of the Policy, a “Related Person” means:

·	Any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year was, a director or executive officer of the Company or a nominee to become a director of the Company;

·	Any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities;

·	Any Immediate Family Member (as defined in the Policy) of any of the foregoing persons; and

·	Any Affiliate (as defined in the Policy) of any of the foregoing persons or Immediate Family Members.

Notification Procedures

A transaction with a Related Person that is identified in advance will be disclosed to the General Counsel for review. In the event the Company becomes aware of a transaction with a Related Person that was not disclosed to the Company, the General Counsel will review the transaction. If the General Counsel determines that a transaction is a Related Person Transaction subject to the Policy, he will submit such transaction to the Audit Committee for consideration at the next Audit Committee meeting or, if it is not practicable or desirable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, to the Chair of the Audit Committee for prompt consideration. Any ongoing or completed Related Person Transaction that is disapproved by the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee shall be subject to corrective action by the Audit Committee.

During 2010, there were no Related Person Transactions and none are currently planned for 2011.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

The United States Federal securities laws require our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with the SEC, the NYSE and the Company.

We believe, based upon a review of the forms filed and written communications provided by our officers, directors and persons who beneficially owned more than 10% of our common stock, that they timely filed all forms required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during 2010.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

This Audit Committee report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

What is the Audit Committee and are its members “independent”?

The Audit Committee is composed of three directors appointed by the Board of Directors, all of whom are independent from the Company and its management as defined in the NYSE listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors in January 2005, which is available to our stockholders and interested parties at the Investor Relations tab on our web site at www.prestigebrandsinc.com or is also available in print to any stockholder or other interested party who makes a written request to the Company’s Secretary. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight and monitoring of our financial reporting and audit process, our system of internal control, our risk assessment process and our process for monitoring compliance with laws, regulations and policies. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Are the members of the Audit Committee “financially literate”?

The members of the Audit Committee are financially literate as that qualification is interpreted by the Board of Directors and the NYSE. In addition, the Board has determined that Mr. Byom is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC regulations.

What is the relationship between management and the Audit Committee?

Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and monitoring adequate internal accounting and financial controls, the financial reporting process for preparing financial statements and compliance with the Company’s legal and ethics programs. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is responsible for performing an independent

audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and for issuance of a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and report its findings to the full Board of Directors.

What steps did the Audit Committee take in recommending that our audited financial statements be included in our annual report?

The Audit Committee has met and held discussions separately and jointly with each of management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for 2010, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, on a consistent basis, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the quarterly and annual earnings press releases and consolidated financial statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Audit Committee discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) AU Section 380, “Communication with Audit Committees”.

The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by PCAOB Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence” and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP their independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence from the Company. The Audit Committee concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is independent from the Company and its management.

Based on its review of the Company’s audited financial statements and the discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for 2010 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2010 for filing with the SEC.
