Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On
December 5, 2006, the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Savings Investment Plan (the
“Plan”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered
public accounting firm, and appointed RubinBrown LLP as its independent
registered public accounting firm. This change in independent registered public
accounting firms was approved by the Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Energizer Holdings, Inc., the Plan administrator.
The
reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Plan’s financial statements for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principle.
During
the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 5, 2006, there
have
been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction
of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto
in
their reports on the financial statements for such years.
During
the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 5, 2006, there
have
been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K).
During
the Plan’s
fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 5, 2006,
nobody acting on behalf of the Plan has consulted RubinBrown LLP regarding
(i)
either the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or
contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on
the Plan’s financial statements (consequently no written report to the Plan or
oral advice was provided that RubinBrown LLP concluded was an important factor
considered by the Plan in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing
or
financial reporting issue), or (ii) any matter that was either the subject
of a
disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K
and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable
event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.
