This Amendment No. 5 further amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2012 (as amended on December 26, 2012, December 28, 2012, December 31, 2012 and January 2, 2012, “Schedule TO”) relating to the offer by JAB Beech Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Pine Merger Sub, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser” and, together with Parent, the “Offerors”), to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), of Caribou Coffee Company, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), at a price of $16.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash (less any required withholding taxes and without interest), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 21, 2012 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), which are annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO, and the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.

The subsection titled “Legal Proceedings” in Section 15—”Certain Legal Matters” is amended and supplemented to add at the end thereof the following:

“On January 2, 2013, an additional purported class action complaint was filed by a purported shareholder against Parent, Purchaser and the individual directors of the Company in the District Court of the State of Minnesota, Fourth Judicial District, seeking certification of a purported class action lawsuit captioned Harrigill v. Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. et al. (the “Harrigill Action”).

The complaints in the Harrigill Action all purport to be brought individually and on behalf of all shareholders of the Company and all purportedly seek to enjoin the effectuation of the proposed transaction. The complaint contains allegations substantially similar to the other actions described above and allege that the Offer price of $16 per share is inadequate and undervalues the Company. The complaint alleges that the Company’s director defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Offer and the Merger. Among other things, the complaints challenge the sale process and price as unfair and certain alleged deal protection provisions in the Merger Agreement. The complaint further alleges that the Schedule TO and Schedule 14D-9 contain materially misleading and incomplete information. In particular, the complaint challenges the financial analysis and opinion provided by Moelis and the disclosure regarding the lack of a pre-signing market check. The complaint also alleges that the Company, Parent and/or Purchaser aided and abetted such alleged breaches of the Company’s director defendant’s fiduciary duties.

The action seeks, among other relief: declaring the action to be a class action; declaring that the Merger Agreement is unlawful and unenforceable; injunctive relief enjoining the Offer and the Merger; directing the board of directors of the Company to obtain a transaction in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders until the process for the sale or proper auction of the Company is completed and the highest possible price is obtained; rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement and the Merger; awarding costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees; and granting any and all further relief as the court may deem just and proper.

Pursuant to the Companioning Order, the Harrigill Action will be heard by the same judge as the Richeson Action, the Greentech Action, the Shah Action, the Arciero Action, the Schufman Action, the McCormack Action and the Bishop Action.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complaint in the Harrigill Action, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(K) to the Schedule TO, and which is incorporated herein by reference.”
