Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

As previously reported in Tupperware Brands Corporation’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2023, the Company’s prior registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), informed the Company following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 on October 13, 2023, that PwC was declining to stand for re-appointment as the Company’s registered public accounting firm for the integrated audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

On January 24, 2024, following approval by the Audit and Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company engaged KPMG LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 and to review the Company’s financial statements for the first three fiscal quarters of 2023, effective immediately.

The Company has not consulted with KPMG LLP during the two most recent fiscal years (ended December 31, 2022 and December 30, 2023), or during any subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of KPMG LLP, regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company 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 defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
