ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Energizer Holdings, Inc. held on November 7, 2005, the Board approved an amendment of the Company’s director compensation program. The program had provided that annually, commencing on December 31, 2005, each director would be credited with 500 stock equivalent units in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. The Board, upon the recommendation of the compensation consultant to the Board’s Nominating and Executive Compensation Committee, determined that in lieu of that grant of a specific number of equivalents, each director would instead, on that same date, be credited with that number of equivalents having a value of $57,000, based on the 10-day average trading price of the Company’s common stock ending on the date of crediting.

ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO BYLAWS

At the same meeting, the Board approved amendment of the Company’s Bylaws to provide that the annual meeting of shareholders will be held on the fourth Monday in January of each year, instead of the fourth Tuesday. A copy of the Bylaws, as amended, is attached as Exhibit 3(ii).
