In connection with the Offering, the Company intends to provide certain information to potential investors, and the Company is therefore including such information in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Regulation FD.

On August 6, 2014, Cott filed an Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K to provide historical and pro forma financial statements for its acquisition of Aimia Foods Holdings Limited (“Aimia”) on May 30, 2014 (the “Aimia Transaction”). The historical financial information of Aimia included in Cott’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 is derived from the unaudited historical profit and loss statement of Aimia for the five months ended May 31, 2014.
