Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
           As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2020, Tupperware Brands Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with O’Connor Management LLC (“O’Connor”), whereby O’Connor will purchase approximately 740 acres of the Company’s property in Orlando, Florida, inclusive of 500 acres of wetlands, comprising all remaining Company-owned land in Orlando. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides for a purchase price of approximately $87 million for the land and certain transportation impact fee credits, and a lease back by the Company from O’Connor of approximately 61 acres and 8 buildings on the land, comprising the Company’s headquarters location, for an initial term of 10 years at a market competitive rent and with customary terms and conditions. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the transaction closing was expected to occur in the second quarter of 2020, subject to successful due diligence and standard closing conditions.
            On June 12, 2020, the Company and O’Connor entered into the First Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which the due diligence inspection period has been extended to July 15, 2020, to allow for the completion of customary diligence inspections.  The Company now anticipates the transaction closing will occur in two or more transactions, with certain parcels closing late in the third quarter of 2020 and the balance closing by the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to successful due diligence and standard closing conditions. The Company can make no assurances that the transactions will close, that they will close in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, or that they will close at the aggregate price listed.
