NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As described in the current report on Form 8-K dated November 19, 2010, the board of directors of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (the “Company”), based on the recommendation of the audit committee and in consultation with management, has concluded that, because of errors identified in the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 29, 2007, September 27, 2008 and September 26, 2009 and the first three fiscal quarters of 2010, the Company will restate its previously issued financial statements, including the quarterly data for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 and its selected financial data for the relevant periods.

The restatement process has resulted in delays in obtaining and compiling the business and financial data necessary to complete the restatement and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010. However, the Company continues to expect to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010, including all restated financial statements, by no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of November 24, 2010, or December 9, 2010.

PART IV

OTHER INFORMATION

(1)     Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

Howard Malovany	(802)	244-5621
(Name)	(Area Code)	(Telephone Number)

(2)     Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).    x  Yes    ¨  No

(3)     Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    x  Yes    ¨  No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As described above, the restatement process has resulted in delays in obtaining and compiling the business and financial data necessary to complete the restatement and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010 and the restated periods, including the fiscal year ended September 26, 2009. As a result, the Company has not yet finalized the results of operations for these fiscal years and is currently unable to provide a quantitative explanation of the anticipated change in its results of operations. The Company anticipates that its results of operations for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010 will reflect continued sales growth primarily driven by growth in K-Cup portion packs and Keurig brewers and accessories sales. The Company will provide full financial results in its annual report on Form 10-K.
