ST. LOUIS, Dec 17, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) today announced that Joe R. Micheletto has submitted a letter of resignation from the Board of Directors, effective as of January 2, 2010.

The Nominating and Executive Compensation Committee, at its January 25, 2010 meeting, will consider whether, as a result of Mr. Micheletto's resignation, the Board size should be reduced to ten members on a tentative or permanent basis, or whether a successor should be appointed.
