On February 24, 2020, after the market closed, Tupperware issued a press release announcing a delay in filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019 and that "the extension will provide the Company time to finalize additional procedures as part of its investigation regarding the impact of certain financial reporting matters in its Fuller Mexico beauty business."  Further, the press release states:

"The Company is conducting an investigation primarily into the accounting for accounts payable and accrued liabilities at its Fuller Mexico beauty business to determine the extent to which these matters may further impact results and to assess and enhance the effectiveness of internal controls at this business. This matter is $9-11 million of the total expected $19-21 million full-year impact on an adjusted pre-tax basis.  In addition, total impairments for Fuller Mexico are expected to be approximately $31 million.  The total pre-tax impact for 2019 is approximately $50-52 million."
