IRVINGTON, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)

Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-PBH) today announced the resignations of two members of its board of directors, Peter C. Mann and Vincent J. Hemmer.

Mr. Mann, the retired Chairman and CEO of Prestige Brands and a founder of the Company, is stepping down to pursue a new business opportunity. Mr. Hemmer of GTCR Golder Rauner LLC, a private equity owner of the Company’s stock, is stepping down following that company’s significant reduction in holdings in Prestige Brands.

In making the announcement, Matthew Mannelly, President and CEO commented, “The Company has benefited greatly from the leadership and counsel of both Peter and Vince. Peter has been the driving force behind the development of the Company from a privately held organization to the successful public company it is today. Vince has been a key member of the board that was responsible for the public offering in 2005. In addition, he brought broad-based business experience and financial acumen from his strong private equity background. We thank both gentlemen for their outstanding service to the Company and wish them well in their future endeavors.”
