Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) is being filed by Mr. Mark Kaufman (“Kaufman”) and W & L Enterprises Ltd (“W&L”, and together with Kaufman, the “Reporting Persons”) and relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”), of Central European Distribution Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 29, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on September 12, 2011, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on December 9, 2011, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on February 21, 2012 and Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on March 14, 2012 (as so amended, the “Existing Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended hereby, items in the Existing Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Existing Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph:

The source of funding for such market purchases was the personal funds of Kaufman.

 

Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Existing Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by replacing the first four paragraphs thereof with the following:

Based on the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2012, there were 73,139,898 Common Shares outstanding as of February 22, 2011.

Based on the foregoing, the 7,077,450 Common Shares beneficially held by the Reporting Persons represent approximately 9.7% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding.
