INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Central European Distribution Corporation (the “Company”) filed July 10, 2009 (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amended the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2009 relating to the Company’s investment in the Russian Alcohol Group. The First Amendment intended to provide the financial information relating to the Russian Alcohol Group required to be provided pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, which consisted of (1) audited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Russian Alcohol Group as at and for the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (the “2007 Financial Statements”), (2) audited consolidated financial statements of Lion/Rally Cayman 2 (the parent company of the Russian Alcohol Group) as at December 31, 2008 and for the period since incorporation (the “December 31, 2008 Financial Statements”), (3) audited combined interim financial statements of the Russian Alcohol Group as at July 8, 2009 and for the period from January 1, 2008 to July 8, 2008 (the “July 8, 2008 Financial Statements”) and (4) unaudited pro forma financial statements relating to the acquisition of the Russian Alcohol Group (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”).

However, the First Amendment did not include the “Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm” (the “Audit Report”) for the July 8, 2008 Financial Statements. That failure was an inadvertent oversight; the Audit Report, and the related consent to include it in the Company’s registration statements, had been issued prior to the filing. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is to include the Audit Report for the July 8, 2008 Financial Statements and to provide currently dated consents of ZAO PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit (attached as Exhibit 23.1 hereto) and BDO Unicon’s consent dated July 10, 2009 (attached as Exhibit 23.2) to incorporate their reports in registration statements of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2007 Financial Statements, the December 31, 2008 Financial Statements, the July 8, 2008 Financial Statements and the Pro Forma Financial Statements have not been changed in any way except for the addition of the Audit Report to the July 8, 2008 Financial Statements and, for convenience and ease of reference, are contained in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 hereto, respectively. Except for changing the reference to “Amendment No. 1” in the last sentence of Item 2.01 to “Amendment No. 2,” the disclosures under Items 2.01 and 9.01 of the First Amendment have not been changed in any way and, for convenience and ease of reference, are restated below in their entirety. No attempt has been made in this Current Report on Form 8–K/A to update other disclosures presented in the First Amendment and this Current Report on Form 8–K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the First Amendment or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 30, 2009, Central European Distribution Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Form 8-K”) reporting the amendment of its investment in the Russian Alcohol Group (“RAG”) with Lion Capital LLP and certain of Lion’s affiliates (collectively with Lion Capital LLP, “Lion”) and certain other investors, pursuant to which the Company expects, through a multi-stage equity purchase, to acquire over the next five years (including 2009) all of the equity interests in RAG held by Lion. This Amendment No. 2 to the Initial Form 8-K amends and supplements the Initial Form 8-K to include financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.
