Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On December 7, 2015, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. and JAB Holding Company (“JAB”) announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which a JAB-led investor group will acquire Keurig Green Mountain.

Following the close of this transaction, we intend to exchange a portion of our equity ownership in Jacobs Douwe Egberts B.V. (“JDE”) for equity in the new holding company of Keurig Green Mountain. We will not invest any new cash.

We currently hold a 43.5% equity interest in JDE. Following the exchange of shares, we expect our percentage share of ownership in JDE will be reduced to approximately 26.5%, and our interest in the new joint venture to be somewhat lower. We do not expect any significant changes to our governance rights in JDE, and we expect our governance rights in the new joint venture to be similar to those we currently have in JDE.

This Item 8.01 contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words, and variations of words, such as “will,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify our forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, those related to our interest and governance rights in a new joint venture. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the closing of the transaction and the finalization of the terms of our investment. Please also see our risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the SEC, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this Item 8.01, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
