EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Central European Distribution Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister certain securities originally registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 19, 2003, File No. 333-108085 (the “2003 Form S-8”), which incorporated by reference its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on October 9, 1998, File No. 333-65543 (the “1998 Form S-8”), with respect to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), thereby registered for offer or sale pursuant to the Registrant’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. A total of 5,906,250 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock splits effected by the Registrant on June 2, 2003, May 2, 2004 and June 12, 2006) were initially registered for issuance under the 1998 Form S-8 and the 2003 Form S-8.

On April 30, 2007, the shareholders of the Registrant approved the Central European Distribution Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, (the “2007 Plan”), which replaces the 1997 Plan. No future awards will be made under the 1997 Plan. As of the date of filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, 1,397,333 shares of Common Stock registered under the 2003 Form S-8 are not subject to outstanding awards under the 1997 Plan and are still available for issuance. Those 1,397,333 shares are hereby deregistered and will be carried forward to the 2007 Plan. The 2003 Form S-8 otherwise continues in effect as to the balance of the shares of Common Stock already subject to outstanding awards under the 1997 Plan.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the 1,397,333 shares of Common Stock that are hereby deregistered for offer or sale pursuant to the 2007 Plan.
