Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On October 31, 2018, the Board of Directors of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved the Third Amended and Restated Annual Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which supersedes the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Annual Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The terms and conditions of the Amended Plan are substantially similar to the Prior Plan, except certain provisions intended to satisfy the performance-based exception under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, have been removed in light of the repeal of such exception. However, notwithstanding the removal of these provisions, the Amended Plan contains the same maximum annual limit that applied to the Prior Plan, which is 250% of the participant’s base salary, up to a $5 million limit. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
