ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On November 6, 2007, the Board of Directors of Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) further amended and restated the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws (as further amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated By-Laws”).  The Board of Directors made changes to Article VI of the Amended and Restated By-Laws to clarify that the Company may issue shares of its stock in uncertificated form.  The Company’s ability to issue shares of its stock in uncertificated form is necessary to satisfy the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") requirement for the Company, as an NYSE listed company, to be eligible to participate in a direct registration system operated by a securities depository.  DRS eligibility does not require the company to issue uncertificated shares.  The Board of directors also amended Article IV of the Amended and Restated By-laws to revise certain of the powers and duties of the Company’s officer positions to conform more closely to the Company’s current organizational structure and to provide increased flexibility for future organizational structures.  In addition, the Board of Directors amended certain other sections of the Amended and Restated By-laws to make conforming and ministerial changes.

A copy of the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
