Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 4, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing that, prior to the closing of the business combination with BlueTriton Brands, Inc., NewCo is expected to change its name and operate the combined business as “Primo Brands Corporation” (“Primo Brands”). The transaction is expected to close on or about November 8, 2024, and Primo Brands’ Class A common stock is expected to begin trading under the ticker “PRMB” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 11, 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The final Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) for shares of Company common stock will be 1:1 for shares of Primo Brands’ Class A common stock.

 

This communication contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, conveying management’s expectations as to the future based on plans, estimates and projections at the time of such statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and several important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statement. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “potential,” “opportunities,” and other similar expressions and the negatives of such expressions.  However, not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated closing date of the Arrangement Agreement transactions, the anticipated trading of Primo Brands stock on the NYSE and other statements that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements are based on Primo Water and BlueTriton’s current expectations, plans and estimates. Primo Water and BlueTriton believe these assumptions to be reasonable, but there is no assurance that they will prove to be accurate.

 

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Proxy Statement filed by Primo Water on Schedule 14A on October 7, 2024 and the other documents filed by Primo Water from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Primo Water and BlueTriton assume no obligation and do not undertake to update or revise any of these statements considering new information, future events, or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law. Neither BlueTriton nor Primo Water gives any assurance that expectations will be achieved.
