Rationale

On 25 August 2025, the Issuer announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. ("KDP") under which KDP would acquire JDE Peet's in an all-cash transaction (the "Acquisition"). On 13 April 2026, KDP and the Issuer announced that KDP had acquired approximately 97.75 per cent. of the shares in the Issuer and that KDP would initiate statutory buy-out proceedings and will implement a post-closing demerger to acquire 100 per cent. of the shares in the Issuer. It is currently intended that the Issuer's shares will be delisted from Euronext Amsterdam on 30 April 2026 and subsequently the Issuer will be converted into a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap) under Dutch law and following a demerger (including all assets and liabilities of JDE Peet’s B.V.), as of 1 May 2026, registered with the Dutch trade register as JDEP Coffee B.V.

Following consummation of the Acquisition, the Issuer will be integrated into KDP and subsequently, KDP will separate its combined businesses into two independent, strategically focused, U.S.-listed publicly traded companies; a beverage company and a coffee company ("Global Coffee Co"). Following the Separation, Maple Parent Holdings Corp. ("Maple") will be the parent holding company of Global Coffee Co. For avoidance of doubt, the Separation is not conditional upon the implementation of the Extraordinary Resolutions.

The Issuer is undertaking the Consent Solicitations for the purpose of making certain amendments to the Conditions to reflect the new corporate structure of the Maple Group following the Acquisition and the Separation, including the introduction of the Guarantors to guarantee the payment obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and certain amendments in connection therewith.

Notice of Meetings in respect of the Notes

A notice (the "Notice") convening separate meetings (each a "Meeting") of the holders of the Notes of each Series has been given to Noteholders in accordance with the relevant Conditions on the date of this announcement.

Proposed Amendments

The purpose of each Consent Solicitation is to, in connection with the introduction of the Guarantee by the Guarantors, the amendment of Condition 3 (Guarantees and Status), Condition 4 (Negative Pledge) and Condition 10(a) (Events of Default) of the terms and conditions of the relevant Notes and certain ancillary amendments in relation to the foregoing, and to authorise, direct and request the Fiscal Agent to give effect to such amendments, all as proposed by the Issuer for approval by a separate Extraordinary Resolution in respect of each Series and as further described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and in the Notice.

Early Consent Fee

Each Noteholder from whom a valid Consent Instruction in favour of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution is received by the Tabulation Agent by the Early Instruction Deadline will be eligible to receive payment of the Early Consent Fee, subject to (a) such Consent Instruction not being revoked (in the limited circumstances set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum in which such revocation is permitted), (b) the relevant Extraordinary Resolution being duly passed, (c) the Eligibility Condition being satisfied;(d) the Issuer not having previously terminated the Consent Solicitation relating to the relevant Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with the provisions for such termination (as set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum), and (e) satisfaction (in the sole discretion of the Issuer) waiver of the Resolution Inter-conditionality, all as more fully described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

Consent Conditions

The implementation of each Consent Solicitation and the related Extraordinary Resolution will be conditional on satisfaction (or, in the case of the Resolution Inter-conditionality, waiver) of the Consent Conditions (including the Eligibility Condition) as further described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and in the Notice.
