Forward-Looking Statements: This Proxy Statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. "Forward-looking statements" generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “focus,” “committed,” “growing,” “goal,” "may," "will," "would," “plan,” or "continue" (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology. The "forward-looking statements" include, without limitation, statements regarding the impact of the Breathe Right® acquisition; the Company's future operating results including revenues, organic growth, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow; the strength of the Company’s financial profile, improvements in eye care supply from the acquisition of our key supplier; the timing of the closing of acquisitions; the Company’s focus on environmental sustainability, social responsibility, corporate governance and innovation; the impact of volatile markets on consumer spending; the timing of the Company’s return to historical leverage; and the Company’s ability to manage and mitigate energy costs; and the Company’s ability to create shareholder value. These statements are based on management's estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be reasonable, though are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expected as a result of a variety of factors, including the impact of business and economic conditions, including as a result of evolving U.S. and international tariffs and trade actions, labor shortages, inflation and geopolitical instability, consumer trends, the impact of the Company’s advertising and marketing and new product development initiatives, customer inventory management initiatives, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, competitive pressures, and the ability of the Company’s manufacturing operations and third party manufacturers and logistics providers and suppliers to meet demand for its products and to avoid inflationary cost increases and disruption. A discussion of factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 and other periodic reports filed with the SEC. |

PROPOSAL 1: Election of Directors | |
How many directors are stockholders being asked to elect and for what term? The number of directors on the Board of Directors is fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office. Currently, the Board of Directors is fixed at seven directors. In connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Sheila A. Hopkins has elected to retire from the Board of Directors and will not stand for reelection. The Board wishes to express its deep appreciation for her nearly eleven years of service and her significant contributions to the Company. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board will be reduced from seven to six directors. If elected, each of the six nominees would hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, removal or resignation. What if a nominee is unable to stand for election? If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board may either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, the proxy holders will vote your shares for the substitute nominee, unless you have voted “Withhold” with respect to the original nominee. How many votes are needed to elect directors? A plurality of the votes of shares present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors is necessary for the election of directors. This means that the six director nominees with the most votes will be elected. You may vote in favor of all nominees, withhold your vote as to all nominees, or withhold your vote as to specific nominees. What Does the Board of Directors Recommend? | |
![]() | The Board Recommends You Vote FOR the Election of the Nominees for Director Named Above. |

![]() | Finance Experience We believe that an understanding of finance and the financial reporting process is important for our directors.

Oversight of Enterprise Risk Management Management administers an annual detailed Enterprise Risk Management assessment to identify and rank the most significant risks that affect our Company, including consideration of a large number of risks associated with companies in the consumer products industry. Formal alignment of the most significant risks occurs between the Board and executive management every year and as changes in the risk environment necessitate. The assessed risks encompass, among others, economic, industry, enterprise, operational, cybersecurity, compliance and financial risks. Our Chief Executive Officer assigns a manager to lead the management of each of those risks identified as among the most significant. As part of the risk management process, management (with the assistance of our third-party internal auditor) annually prepares a project plan under which it reviews activities directed to mitigate business and financial related risks. This plan is reviewed with the Audit and Finance Committee annually and throughout the year as updates occur. Our third-party internal auditor reports directly to the Audit and Finance Committee and advises the committee on a quarterly basis regarding management’s risk assessment process and the progress of mitigation activities designed to facilitate the maintenance of risk within acceptable levels. |
Oversight of Cybersecurity and Privacy Risk Management Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit and Finance Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Audit and Finance Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management strategy, including reviewing risk assessments from management with respect to our information technology systems and procedures, and overseeing our cybersecurity risk management strategy. The Audit and Finance Committee, which is tasked with oversight of certain risk issues, including cybersecurity, receives regular reports from the Chief Financial Officer and the Vice President, Information Technology and Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). At least annually, the Audit and Finance Committee receives updates on the strategy and about the results of exercises and response readiness assessments led by outside advisors who provide a third- party independent assessment of our technical program and our internal response preparedness. The Audit and Finance Committee also receives periodic briefings regarding our information security programs and cyber threats in order to enhance our directors’ literacy on cyber issues. In addition, management will update the Audit and Finance Committee, as necessary, regarding cybersecurity incidents that we may experience. Our CISO and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The cyber security risk management team, which includes personnel with Certified Information Systems Security Professional ("CISSP") certification from ISC2, has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and oversees both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our cyber security risk management team is led by our CISO, who has significant experience across digital innovation and technology-enabled growth, information security, infrastructure, operations and compliance. Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which include briefings from internal personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment. |
Oversight of Artificial Intelligence Our Board recognizes that artificial intelligence ("AI") presents both significant opportunities and evolving risks for the Company, including in the areas of marketing, consumer engagement, product development, supply chain optimization, and data privacy. Consistent with the Company's commitment to responsible governance and innovation, the Board has designated the Audit and Finance Committee to oversee the Company's management of AI-related risks, including risks related to data integrity, regulatory compliance, and the responsible use of AI in consumer-facing applications. The full Board also receives periodic updates on the strategic implications of AI as part of our annual strategic planning process. To support this oversight framework, the Company has established a management-level AI Governance Committee chaired by the Vice President, Information Technology and Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"). The AI Governance Committee is comprised of multifunctional representation from across the organization, including representatives from legal, finance, marketing, operations, human resources, and supply chain, reflecting the Company's view that the responsible development and use of AI requires coordinated oversight across all business functions. The AI Governance Committee is responsible for developing and implementing the Company's AI governance policies and controls, assessing AI-related risks and opportunities, monitoring the use of AI tools and technologies across the organization, and ensuring that such use aligns with the Company's AI Policy, Code of Conduct and Ethics and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Chair of the AI Governance Committee reports to the Audit and Finance Committee, which in turn provides updates to the full Board as appropriate. The Company will continue to assess its AI governance framework as the technology and regulatory landscape evolves. |

PROPOSAL 2: Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation | |
Why are we submitting this matter to you? We are required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act and by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) contained in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our executive compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. Our executive compensation program is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”), executive compensation tables and other narrative executive compensation disclosures required by the disclosure rules of the SEC, all of which are found in this Proxy Statement. In particular, the CD&A, beginning on page 41 of this Proxy Statement, describes the Company’s executive compensation program in detail, and we encourage you to review it. At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders expressed a preference that advisory votes on executive compensation be held on an annual basis. The Board of Directors has determined, in line with the vote of the Company’s stockholders, to have an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. Accordingly, the next advisory vote on executive compensation will occur at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders. What are you being asked to vote on? Stockholders are being asked to vote either for or against the following non-binding resolution: RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and other narrative executive compensation disclosures included in this Proxy Statement. Is this vote binding? No. As provided by the Dodd-Frank Act, this vote will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Talent Management Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Talent Management Committee or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for the Board. Further, it will not affect any compensation paid or awarded to any executive officer. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee and the Board will, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. What vote is required for approval of the Say-on-Pay proposal? The approval of this non-binding resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. If this proposal is not approved by the required vote, the Board and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements, particularly if the votes cast against the resolution exceed the number of votes cast in favor of the resolution. What Does the Board Recommend? | |
![]() | For all of the reasons discussed in our CD&A beginning on Page 41 of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement. |

PROPOSAL 3: Ratification of Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | |
Who has the Audit and Finance Committee selected as the Company’s independent accounting firm for fiscal 2027? The Audit and Finance Committee has reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and evaluate its systems of internal control over financial reporting for fiscal 2027. However, the Audit and Finance Committee may, in its discretion, decide to engage another independent registered public accounting firm as the Company’s auditor for fiscal 2027. Is stockholder approval required for the appointment of an independent accounting firm for 2027? Stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit and Finance Committee will reconsider the appointment; however, the Audit and Finance Committee may, in its discretion, still direct the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Likewise, stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would not prevent the Audit and Finance Committee, in its discretion, from selecting and engaging another independent registered public accounting firm. Will representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP attend the Annual Meeting? Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by videoconference or by telephone, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Has the Audit and Finance Committee determined PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence from the Company? The Audit and Finance Committee has considered the relationships with and the non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and determined that the such relationships and the provision of such services had no effect on PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence from the Company. How many votes are needed to ratify the appointment of our independent accounting firm for 2027? Approval of the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting, in person or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. What Does the Board of Directors Recommend? | |
![]() | The Board recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2027. |
