Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting person became vested in one-third of the total number of restricted stock units that were first granted on May 15, 2018, pursuant to a performance-based grant, as described in footnote 4, below.
2. Withholding of shares to cover taxes on the vesting was calculated based on the closing stock price for Newell Brands Inc. (the "Company") common stock on the transaction date.
3. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.
4. Represents the vesting of the second tranche of a 3 year series of performance-based restricted stock units first awarded on May 15, 2018. The reporting person will become vested in the award ratably in one-third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the award date if: (i) he remains in continuous employment with the Company and (ii) certain performance criteria related to cost savings and completion of previously announced divestiture programs are satisfied. Unexpired portions of the award may vest earlier and without regard to achievement of the performance criteria in the event of death or disability. Unexpired portions of the award may vest pro rata, based on time in service, and without regard to achievement of the performance criteria, in the event of retirement.
5. If the relevant performance criteria are not met, each tranche will expire on the applicable anniversary date.
