Explanatory Note This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") of Rayovac Corporation (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 is being filed to amend Item 11 (Executive Compensation) of the Form 10-K to revise the summary compensation table required by Item 11. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the complete text of Item 11 as amended is set forth herein. The revised summary compensation table properly reflects the bonus and other compensation paid to the Company's chief executive officer and the other four most highly compensated executive officers (the "Named Executive Officers") during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The revised summary compensation table corrects presentation errors for the bonus and other compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, which were reflected in the incorrect fiscal years. The revised summary compensation table contains no change in previously reported information other than as described above. The Company's audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 did not contain these errors and have not been changed. ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The following table sets forth compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer and the other four most highly compensated executive officers during fiscal 2001, fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 (the "Named Executive Officers") for services rendered in all capacities to us. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

In fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001, we contributed to a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering domestic non-union employees (the "401(k) Plan"). We made contributions allocated on the basis of compensation and age as identified in the summary compensation table.
