Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 2, 2018, Cott Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting financial results for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02 as if fully set forth
herein.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.
Kenneth C. Keller, Jr. has informed the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) of a change in his principal
employment responsibilities. Mr. Keller resigned from his position as Chief Portfolio Officer of the Mars Wrigley Confectionary
business and has accepted a position as Chief Executive Officer of Peet’s Coffee, a U.S.-based specialty coffee company.
In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, a director whose principal employment responsibilities
change must volunteer to resign from the Board, and Mr. Keller has done so. In light of Mr. Keller’s new role with an
industry participant, the Board, with the assistance of its Corporate Governance Committee, decided on August 1, 2018 to accept
Mr. Keller’s resignation, effective immediately. Mr. Keller’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with
the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Mr. Keller joined the Board in October 2017. The Company would like to thank Mr. Keller for his contributions to the Board
during his tenure.
Item 8.01. Other Events

September 5, 2018 to shareowners of record at the close of business on August 22, 2018.
