Item 1. Security and Issuer.
 
This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 28, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 22, 2010, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 17, 2010, Amendment No. 3 filed on September 15, 2010, Amendment No. 4 filed on January 12, 2011, Amendment No. 5 filed on July 1, 2011 and Amendment No. 6 filed on July 26, 2011 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 601 Rayovac Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53711.
 
 
Item 2. Identity and Background.
 
No material change.
 
 
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
“As of the date hereof the Master Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 79,100 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if the Master Fund is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by Harbinger Group Inc. (“HGI”), it will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,836,005 Shares (or approximately 53.3% of the outstanding Shares).
 
As of the date hereof Harbinger LLC may be deemed to beneficially own 79,100 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if Harbinger LLC is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by HGI, it will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,836,005 Shares (or approximately 53.3% of the outstanding Shares).
 
As of the date hereof the Special Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 101,089 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if the Special Fund is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by HGI, it will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,857,994 Shares (or approximately 53.3% of the outstanding Shares).
 
As of the date hereof HCPSS may be deemed to beneficially own 101,089 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if HCPSS is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by HGI, it will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,857,994 Shares (or approximately 53.3% of the outstanding Shares).
 
As of the date hereof Harbinger Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own 180,189 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if Harbinger Holdings is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by HGI, it will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,937,094 Shares (or approximately 53.5% of the outstanding Shares).
 
As of the date hereof Philip Falcone may be deemed to beneficially own 180,189 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if Mr. Falcone is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by HGI, he will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,937,094 Shares (or approximately 53.5% of the outstanding Shares).
 
As of the date hereof David M. Maura may be deemed to beneficially own 5,000 Shares.  As further described in Item 5 herein, if Mr. Maura is deemed to beneficially own the 27,756,905 Shares directly owned by HGI, he will be deemed to beneficially own a total of 27,761,905 Shares (or approximately 53.2% of the outstanding Shares).
 
The Master Fund and the Special Fund held certain debt securities of Spectrum Brands, Inc., which were subsequently converted into the right to receive Shares, in an account at Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (“LBIE”).  On September 15, 2008, LBIE was placed into administration under United Kingdom law and four partners of PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP were appointed as its joint administrators (the “Joint Administrators”). The Joint Administrators have advised that 449,309 and 15,493 of the Shares held by the Master Fund and the Special Fund, respectively, were rehypothecated (such shares, the “Rehypothecated Shares”). The Master Fund and the Special Fund each believe at this time that the Rehypothecated Shares will not be recoverable. Accordingly, the number of Rehypothecated Shares has been excluded from the ownership of the Shares of the Master Fund and Special Fund reported herein. The Master Fund and the Special Fund do not waive any arguments that they are entitled to recover the Rehypothecated Shares and expressly reserve such arguments.

The remaining 79,100 and 101,089 Shares (the “LBIE Shares”) reported in this Schedule 13D as beneficially owned by the Master Fund and the Special Fund, respectively, are non-Rehypothecated Shares that are also held at LBIE. The timing and likelihood of the return of the LBIE Shares is uncertain at this time. Until returned, the Master Fund’s and the Special Fund’s ability to effect any transactions with the LBIE Shares may be limited.  Except for the LBIE Shares, the Master Fund and the Special Fund do not directly hold any other shares of Issuer common stock. Subsequent filings by the HCP Parties may be necessary to address a final determination regarding such shares.”
 
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D:
 
“Under the terms of the over-allotment option contained in the Underwriting Agreement the Master Fund and the Issuer sold an additional 824,324 Shares and 149,999 Shares, respectively, to the Underwriters on July 29, 2011, which were offered to the public at a price of $28.00 per Share.  Harbinger Group Inc. did not sell any Shares in this offering.”
