Dear Bill,

On February 17, 2012, pursuant to and in accordance with the amended and restated bylaws of Central European Distribution Corporation (“CEDC”), I timely filed a written notice of my intention to nominate myself for election as a director of CEDC at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

As our company’s second largest stockholder and a businessman with over 20 years international experience in the wine and spirits industry — much of it in Russia, which now represents over 75% of CEDC’s revenues — I believe that my perspective can make a significant and valuable contribution to the board of directors at this critical juncture as it considers various strategic options, including whether the “strategic alliance” recently proposed by Russian Standard is in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders.

Accordingly, I would accept to be nominated to the board of directors to fill an existing vacancy prior to the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders, as previously discussed from time to time with you and David Bailey, as the Lead Director and Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

I would appreciate a response to this letter by March 12, 2012.

Very truly yours,

/s/ MARK KAUFMAN

Mark Kaufman
