Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 20, 2010, Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by this reference, reporting that it had entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement by and among the Company (as Buyer), Blacksmith Brands Holdings, Inc. (“Blacksmith”), and the securityholders of Blacksmith (as Sellers) (the “Sellers”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Blacksmith and had issued a press release announcing the proposed acquisition of Blacksmith.  The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, which was received from the Federal Trade Commission on September 24, 2010.

In connection with closing the acquisition of Blacksmith, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Prestige Brands, Inc. (the “Issuer”) intends to issue $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In connection with offering the Notes, information about Blacksmith that is summarized below will be revealed to potential investors in the Notes.  By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing the information contained herein, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes.  Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.  The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Information About the Company's Second Fiscal Quarter and Six-Month Period Ended September 30, 2010
 
While the Company is in the process of finalizing its second quarter results, based on its preliminary results it estimates that for the second quarter of 2010, which ended September 30, 2010, net revenues will decline approximately 3% as compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2009 (excluding the divested Cutex line for both periods), primarily due to heavy retailer buy-in of the Company’s cough and cold products in anticipation of an unusually strong cold and flu season driven by H1N1 in the second fiscal quarter of 2009.  For the six-month period ended September 30, 2010, net revenues are expected to be flat to an increase of 1% as compared to the six-month period ended September 30, 2009.  The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the quarter and the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 to be higher than the quarter and six-month period ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of reduced general and administrative costs due to workforce reductions in September 2009 and lower advertising and promotion expense as a result of unusually heavy support for Allergen Block products as compared to the first half of fiscal 2009.  “Adjusted EBITDA” means net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, impact of discontinued operations, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and certain non-recurring, non-cash and other cash expenses which management believes will not be incurred, except for stock-based compensation, in the future.
 

 
As of September 30, 2010, the Company estimates that it had $55.0 million of cash and equivalents, $30.0 million of availability under its revolving credit facility and $295.5 million of total debt.

Information About Certain Anticipated Effects of the Acquisition of Blacksmith Upon the Company
 
The Company expects the following as a result of the acquisition of Blacksmith:

 
·
Trailing twelve-month additional revenues resulting from the acquisition are expected to be approximately $90 million;

 
·
EBITDA on the Blacksmith business is expected to be approximately 30%; and

 
·
The acquisition is expected to be accretive by $0.16 to $0.20 per share in the first year of the acquisition.
