Description of Business

        On March 2, 2020, Cott Corporation completed the acquisition of Primo Water Corporation (“Legacy Primo” and such transaction, the “Legacy Primo Acquisition”). In connection with the closing of the Legacy Primo Acquisition, Cott Corporation changed its corporate name to Primo Water Corporation and its ticker symbol on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange to “PRMW”. The Legacy Primo Acquisition is consistent with our strategy of transitioning to a pure-play water solutions provider.
As used herein, “Cott,“Primo,” “the Company,” “our Company,” “Cott“Primo Water Corporation,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to CottPrimo Water Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries. CottPrimo is a diversified beverage company with a leading volume-based national presencepure-play water solutions provider in the North America, Europe and EuropeanIsrael. Primo operates largely under a recurring razor/razorblade revenue model. The razor in Primo’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of sleek and innovative water dispensers, which are sold through major retailers and online at various price points or leased to customers. The dispensers help increase household penetration, which drives recurring purchases of Primo’s razorblade offering. Primo’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 21-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to commercial businesses.

Primo also offers water filtration units across its 21-country footprint representing a leadertop five position.
Primo’s water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution.

On July 24, 2017, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Refresco Group N.V., a Netherlands limited liability company (“Refresco”), pursuant to which we will sell to Refresco our carbonated soft drinks (“CSDs”) and juice businesses viaregulatory standards for the salebenefit of our North America, United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Mexico business units (including the Canadian business) and our Royal Crown International (“RCI”) finished goods export business (collectively, “Traditional Business”). Accordingly, as a result of the sale of the Traditional Business representing a strategic shift in our operations, those businesses are presented herein as discontinued operations.

        On February 28, 2020, we completed the sale of our coffee, tea and extract solutions business, S. & D. Coffee, Inc. (“S&D”) for consideration of $405.0 million paid at closing in cash, with customary post-closing working capital adjustments, which were resolved in June 2020 by payment of $1.5 million from the Company to the purchasers of S&D. As a result of this transaction representing a strategic shift in our operations, the Company has reclassified the financial results of our discontinued operations to net (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019. The assets and liabilities associated with S&D have been reflected as current and long-term assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2019. Cash flows from our discontinued operations are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted.

On March 2, 2020, we completed the Legacy Primo Acquisition. This business was added to our North America reporting segment (described below).
During the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2020, we reviewed our reporting segmentsimplemented a restructuring program intended to optimize synergies from the Company’s transition to a pure-play water company following the Legacy Primo Acquisition and, as a result, of the Refresco transaction. Following such review, we reorganized our reporting segments into three2 reporting segments: Route Based ServicesNorth America (which includes our DS Services of America, Inc. (“DSS”), Aquaterra Corporation (“Aquaterra”), Mountain Valley Spring Company (“Mountain Valley”) and Eden Springs Europe B.V. (“Eden”)Legacy Primo businesses), Coffee, Tea & Extract Solutions and Rest of World (which includes our S.Eden Springs Nederland B.V. (“Eden”), Aimia Foods Limited (“Aimia”), Decantae Mineral Water Limited (“Decantae”) and John Farrer & D. Coffee, Inc.Company Limited (“S&D”Farrers”) business) and All Other (which includes our Aimia and RCI concentrate businesses, the Columbus manufacturing facilitybusinesses). Our corporate oversight function and other miscellaneous expenses).expenses are aggregated and included in the All Other category. Segment reporting results have been recast to reflect these changes for all periods presented.

Impact of the accompanying consolidated statementsCOVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of operations, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows. These reclassificationsthe novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) had no effecta significant impact on operations,our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020. In response to COVID-19, authorities in many of the markets in which we operate have implemented numerous measures to stall the spread of COVID-19, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have impacted and will further impact us, our customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business. There is considerable uncertainty regarding how these measures and future measures in response to the pandemic will impact our business in the future, including whether they will result in further changes in demand for our services and products, further increases in operating costs (whether as a result of changes to our supply chain or netincreases in employee costs or otherwise), and how they will further impact our supply chain, each or all of which can impact our ability to make, manufacture, distribute and sell our products. In addition, measures that impact our ability to access our offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, or that impact the ability of our customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and other third parties to do the same, may impact the availability of our and their employees, many of whom are not able to perform their job functions remotely.
In response to COVID-19, certain government authorities have enacted programs which provide various economic stimulus measures, including several tax provisions. Among the business tax provisions is the deferral of certain payroll and other tax remittances to future years and wage subsidies as reimbursement for a portion of certain furloughed employees’ salaries. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, we received wage subsidies under these programs totaling $3.4 million. We review our eligibility for these programs for each qualifying period and account for such wage subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to present wage subsidies as a reduction of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. In addition, deferred payroll and other taxes totaling $6.3 million were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $2.9 million were included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 27, 2020.
During the three months ended June 27, 2020, we recorded a total of $115.2 million of non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets. See goodwill and intangible asset impairment information below. The impairment charges were primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and revised projections of future operating results.
In addition, on June 11, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a plan intended to optimize synergies from the Company’s transition to a pure-play water company following the Legacy Primo Acquisition and to mitigate the negative financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including implementing headcount reductions and furloughs in our North America and Rest of World reporting segments (“2020 Restructuring Plan”). When we implement these programs, we incur various charges, including severance, asset impairments, and other employment related costs. In connection with the 2020 Restructuring Plan, we expect to incur approximately $19.0 million in severance costs, all of which are expected to result in cash providedexpenditures and are expected to be fully paid by operating activities.

the end of 2020. All costs incurred by the 2020 Restructuring Plan are included in SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.

The following table summarizes restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020:

Allowance for Credit Losses
We estimate an allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to pay, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and current economic outlook. Customer demographics, such as large commercial customers as compared to small businesses or individual customers, and the customer’s geographic market are also considered when estimating credit losses. Historical loss experience was based on actual loss rates over a one year period. Additionally, we evaluate current conditions and review third-party economic forecasts on a quarterly basis to determine the impact on the allowance for credit losses. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is testedWe test goodwill for impairment at least annually. annually on the first day of the fourth quarter, based on our reporting unit carrying values, calculated as total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities, as of the end of the third quarter, or more frequently if we determine a triggering event has occurred during the year. During the second quarter of 2020, given the general deterioration in economic and market conditions in which we operate arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we identified a triggering event indicating possible impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, as further described below. We did not identify impairment of our property, plant and equipment, lease-related right-of-use assets, or long-lived assets.

The following table summarizesCompany operates through 2 operating segments: North America and Rest of World. These 2 operating segments are also reportable segments. We evaluate goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis, which is an operating segment or a level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. However, two or more components of an operating segment can be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. Our North America operating segment was determined to have 3 components: DSS, Mountain Valley, and Aquaterra. We have determined that DSS and Aquaterra have similar economic characteristics and have aggregated them as a single reporting unit for the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment (“DSSAqua”). Our Rest of World operating segment was determined to have 4 components: Eden, Aimia, Decantae, and Farrers, none of which have similar economic characteristics. We have thus determined our reporting units are DSSAqua, Mountain Valley, Eden, Aimia, Decantae, and Farrers.
Due to the triggering event identified above arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we first performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of these reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Based on this qualitative assessment, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our Eden, Aimia, Decantae, and Farrers reporting units did not exceed their respective carrying values. As a result, we performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of June 27, 2020 on these reporting units.
We determined the fair value of the reporting units being evaluated using a mix of the income approach (which is based on the discounted cash flows of the reporting unit) and the guideline public company approach. We weighted the income approach and the guideline public company approach at 50% each to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. We believe using a combination of these approaches provides a more accurate valuation because it incorporates the expected cash generation of the Company in addition to how a third-party market participant would value the reporting unit. As the business is assumed to continue in perpetuity, the discounted future cash flows includes a terminal value. Critical assumptions used in our valuation of the Eden reporting unit included the anticipated future cash flows, a weighted-average terminal growth rate of 1.5% and a discount rate of 9.5%. Critical assumptions used in our valuation of the Aimia, Decantae, and Farrers reporting units included a weighted-average terminal growth rate of 2.0% and a discount rate of 11.5%. The anticipated future cash flows assumption reflects projected revenue growth rates, operating profit margins and capital expenditures. The terminal growth rate assumption incorporated into the discounted cash flow calculation reflects our long-term view of the market and industry, projected changes in the sale of our products, pricing of such products and operating profit margins. The discount rate was determined using various factors and sensitive assumptions, including bond yields, size premiums and tax rates. This rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital a market participant would use if evaluating the reporting unit as an investment. These assumptions are considered significant unobservable inputs and represent our best estimate of assumptions that market participants would use to determine the fair value of the respective reporting units. The key inputs into the discounted cash flow analysis were consistent with market data, where available, indicating that the assumptions used were in a reasonable range of observable market data.
Based on the quantitative assessment including consideration of the sensitivity of the assumptions made and methods used to determine fair value, industry trends and other relevant factors, we noted that the estimated fair value of the Aimia reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 23.5%. Therefore, 0 goodwill impairment charge was recorded for the Aimia reporting unit. Based on the quantitative assessment including consideration of the sensitivity of the assumptions made and methods used to determine fair value, industry trends and other relevant factors, we determined that goodwill was impaired for the Eden, Decantae, and Farrers reporting units and recognized impairment charges of $103.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The impairment charges are included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.

Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets with indefinite lives relate to trademarks acquired in the acquisition of businesses, and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets. Our trademarks with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if we determine a triggering event has occurred during the year.
As a result of the triggering event described above arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also performed recoverability tests on our intangible assets, primarily trademarks, within each of our reporting segments as of September 30, 2017:

Discontinued Operations

In July 2017,June 27, 2020. We assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the Company’s Boardexistence of Directors committed toevents or circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our trademarks with indefinite lives were less than their respective carrying value. The qualitative factors we assessed included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that would have a plan to sellnegative effect on earnings and cash flows, overall financial performance compared with forecasted projections in prior periods, and other relevant events, the impact of which are all significant judgments and estimates. Based on this qualitative assessment, we determined that impairment was more likely than not with the trademarks with indefinite lives associated with our Traditional Business. The closingEden and Aquaterra businesses. As a result, we performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of June 27, 2020 on these intangible assets.

To determine the fair value of the transactiontrademarks with indefinite lives associated with our Eden and Aquaterra businesses, we use a relief from royalty method of the income approach, which calculates a fair value royalty rate that is subjectapplied to certain customary closing conditions,revenue forecasts associated with those trademarks. The resulting cash flows are discounted using a rate to reflect the risk of achieving the projected royalty savings attributable to the trademarks. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these trademarks are subjective and require significant management judgment, including regulatory approval fromestimated future revenues, the United Kingdom. Approval from Refresco’s stockholders was receivedfair value royalty rate (which is estimated to be a reasonable market royalty charge that would be charged by a licensor of the trademarks) and the risk adjusted discount rate. Based on our impairment test, we determined the trademarks with indefinite lives associated with our Eden and Aquaterra businesses were impaired and recognized impairment charges of $9.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The impairment charges are included in September 2017goodwill and accordingly, the Company has presented this portion of our business as discontinued operations beginningintangible asset impairment charge expense in the third quarterConsolidated Statements of 2017.

Update ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Update ASU 2019-05 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Targeted Transition Relief (Topic 326) and Update ASU 2019-11 – Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)
In July 2015,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)2015-11 – Inventory (Topic 330) to simplify the accounting for inventory. The guidance requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and applied it prospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09—Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). We elected to early adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2016, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2016 fiscal year. Amendments requiring the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies within the consolidated statements of operations were adopted prospectively and resulted in an increase of $1.0 million and $1.2 million in income tax benefit and net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2016.

Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of ASUs or the issuance of new standards to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Update ASU2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

In May 2014, the FASB amended its guidance regarding revenue recognition and created a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The objectives for creating Topic 606 were to remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue recognition, provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, provide more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements, simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer, and improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment recognized at the date of initial application.

During the first half of 2017, we hired a third-party consultant to assist in the adoption of this standard, developed a scoping phase project plan, identified an inventory of revenue streams and are currently in the contract review phase. We are continuing our progress in the contract review phase and are identifying gaps between our current revenue recognition policies and the new standard so that we can quantify and assess the impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Update ASU2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842)

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update to its guidance on lease accounting. This update revises accounting for operating leases by a lessee, among other changes, and requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term in the balance sheet. The distinction between finance and operating leases has not changed and the update does not significantly change the effect of finance and operating leases on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, this update requires both qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. At adoption, this update will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Update ASU2016-13 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)

In June 2016, the FASB amended its guidance to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. The amended guidance also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. TheIn May 2019, the FASB amended the original guidance by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial instruments previously measured at amortized cost basis. In November 2019, the FASB provided additional guidance around how to report expected recoveries.

Note 2 – Revision of Previously Reported Financial Information

During the fourth quarter of 2016,Discontinued Operations

On February 28, 2020, the Company adopted ASU2016-18 – Statementcompleted the sale of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires thatS&D to Westrock Coffee Company, LLC, a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and that adoption be applied retrospectively. During the second quarter of 2017, we failed to retrospectively adjust our 2016 comparative consolidated statements of cash flows for the second quarter 2016 issuance of $498.7 million of our 5.500% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”Delaware limited liability company (“Westrock”), the cash proceeds of which were restricted for a subsequent acquisition. Prior to the adoption of ASU2016-18, this restricted use financing was disclosed as a non-cash investing and financing activity. In connection with this revision, we are also correcting other immaterial cash flow errors. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, these errors resulted in our cash provided from operating activities being overstated by $2.6 and $5.5 million, our cash used in investing activities being overstated by $4.1 and $7.0 million, and our cash provided from financing activities being understated by $498.7 and $498.7 million. As a result of this error, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period, was understated by $503.1 million as of July 2, 2016 in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

We have also corrected other immaterial items in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2016, as presented herein. These corrections increase cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations and cash flows used in investing activities from continuing operations by $3.1 million for the three months ended October 1, 2016 and decreased cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations and cash flows used in investing activities from continuing operations by $1.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2016. These corrections also impacted the supplemental disclosure of additions to property, plant & equipment through accounts payable and accrued liabilities by $1.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2016.

As a result of the revision, our ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, now reconcile to the ending cash and restricted cash as presented on the consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2016, within the Form10-Q filed August 9, 2016.

We have evaluated these errors and determined they are not material to the previously issued financial statements and have elected to revise our previously issued consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 as follows:

Note 4—Revenue
        Our principal sources of revenue are from bottled water delivery direct to consumers primarily in North America and Europe and from providing multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers through major retailers in North America. Revenue is recognized, net of sales returns, when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in the client arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the client arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Clients typically receive the benefit of our services as they are performed. Substantially all our client contracts require that we be compensated for services performed to date. This may be upon shipment of goods or upon delivery to the customer, depending on contractual terms. Shipping and handling costs paid by the customer to us are included in revenue and costs incurred by us for shipping and handling activities that are performed after a customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment costs. In addition, we exclude from net revenue and cost of sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue-producing transactions. Although we occasionally accept returns of products from our customers, historically returns have not been material.
18

Contract Estimates
        The nature of certain of our contracts give rise to variable consideration including cash discounts, volume-based rebates, point of sale promotions, and other promotional discounts to certain customers. For all promotional programs and discounts, we estimate the rebate or discount that will be granted to the customer and record an accrual upon invoicing. These estimated rebates or discounts are included in the transaction price of our contracts with customers as a reduction to net revenues and are included as accrued sales incentives in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued sales incentives were $6.1 million and $7.0 million at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts (i) with an original expected length of one year or less or (ii) for which we recognize revenue at the amount in which it has the right to invoice as the product is delivered.
Contract Balances
Contract liabilities relate primarily to advances received from our customers before revenue is recognized. These amounts are recorded as deferred revenue and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The advances are expected to be earned as revenue within one year of receipt. Deferred revenues at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019 were $20.3 million and $23.6 million, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 that was included in the December 28, 2019 deferred revenue balance was $2.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively.
We do not have any material contract assets as of June 27, 2020.
Disaggregated Revenue
In general, our business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our products and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations.
Further disaggregation of net revenue to external customers by geographic area based on customer location is as follows:

Note 5—Acquisitions
Legacy Primo Acquisition
On March 2, 2020, the Company completed the Legacy Primo Acquisition, adding North America’s leading single source provider of multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers sold through major retailers to the Company’s catalog of home and office bottled water delivery businesses in North America and Europe. Primo is a familiar name in sustainable water solutions that will help drive the visibility of our water businesses, moving us towards a pure-play water solutions company. The Legacy Primo Acquisition broadens our capabilities and our portfolio, creating new cross-selling opportunities and vertical integration across home and office delivery, retail, filtration, refill and exchange services. Integrating Legacy Primo with our DSS business will enable us to combine the expertise and innovation of these two growing companies with complementary business models. The integration gives us the ability to expand Legacy Primo’s products and services across our 21-country footprint.
The Legacy Primo Acquisition was structured as an exchange offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Legacy Primo for per-share consideration of (i) $14.00 in cash, (ii) 1.0229 Cott Corporation common shares plus cash in lieu of any fractional Cott Corporation common share, or (iii) $5.04 in cash and 0.6549 Cott Corporation common shares, at the election of Legacy Primo’s stockholders, subject to the proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement. Immediately following the consummation of the exchange offer, Cott Corporation indirectly acquired the remaining Legacy Primo shares through a merger between Legacy Primo and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cott Corporation.

Intangible Assets
In our determination of the fair value of intangible assets, we consider, among other factors, the best use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of the acquired business’ products. The estimated fair values of identified intangible assets are calculated considering both market participant expectations, using an income approach, as well as estimates and assumptions provided by Primo management and management of the acquired business. Assumptions include, but are not limited to, expected revenue growth, weighted-average terminal growth rates, risk adjusted discount rate and fair value royalty rate.
The estimated fair value of customer relationships represents future after-tax discounted cash flows that will be derived from sales to existing customers of the acquired business as of the date of acquisition.
The estimated fair value of trademarks and trade names represents the future projected cost savings associated with the premium and brand image obtained as a result of owning the trademark or trade name as opposed to obtaining the benefit of the trademark or trade name through a royalty or rental fee.
The following table sets forth the components of identified intangible assets associated with the Legacy Primo Acquisition and their estimated weighted average useful lives:

Customer relationships$236.3 26 years
Trade names174.9 Indefinite
Software1.5 3 years
Total$412.7 

Goodwill
The principal factor that resulted in recognition of goodwill was the basis of the purchase price for the Legacy Primo Acquisition, in part, on cash flow projections assuming the reduction of administration costs and the final purchase price allocationintegration of acquired customers and products into our operations, which is of greater value than on a standalone basis.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2020, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “HRCC”) approved a bonus for a select group of associates that will be settled in fully vested common shares based on the closing share price on the date the achievement of the performance target described below is certified by the HRCC. The aggregate target payout of $2.4 million is based on (1) attainment of a specified percentage target under the Company's annual cash performance bonus plan for the DSS business, and (2) attainment of a specified annualized 2020 synergy target. This bonus is being accounted for as a liability-classified award with a performance condition. The final bonus payout will be based upon the performance percentage, which can range from 0% to 200% of the target payout. As of and for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded $0.6 million of share-based compensation expense and a related accrued liability associated with these awards.

The effective income tax rates for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2017June 27, 2020 were 36.0%1.1% and (8.3%)2.9%, respectively, compared to (263.6%)44.9% and 46.2%(4.2)% in the comparable prior year periods.

The effective tax rates for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2017June 27, 2020 varied from the effective tax rates for the three and ninesix months ended October 1, 2016June 29, 2019 due primarily due to lossesimpairment charges incurred in the United Statessecond quarter of 2020 for which we have not recognized aminimal tax benefit is recognized.
        The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted new Section 163(j) interest expense limitation rules on December 22, 2017. The rules were modified in 2017, partially offsetMarch 2020 by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. On July 28, 2020, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released final regulations and new proposed regulations to provide interpretative guidance for the new Section 163(j) rules, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the final regulations in our 2021 tax expense relatedyear and do not currently plan to early adopt the proposed regulations. We are currently assessing the final and proposed regulations. However, we do not anticipate a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.


Note 8—Common Shares and Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Common Shares
        On December 11, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common shares over a 12-month period commencing on December 16, 2019 (the “Repurchase Plan”). We did 0t repurchase any outstanding common shares under the Repurchase Plan during the second quarter of 2020. For the six months ended June 27, 2020, we repurchased 2,316,835 common shares for $25.0 million through open market transactions under the Repurchase Plan. Shares purchased under the Repurchase Plan were subsequently canceled. There can be no assurance as to the Canadian valuation allowance recordedprecise number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased under the Repurchase Plan in the third quarterfuture, or the aggregate dollar amount of 2016.

The effective tax rate differs fromshares to be purchased in future periods. We may discontinue purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

On March 2, 2020, the Canadian statutory rate duringCompany completed the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, primarily due to: (a) losses incurred in tax jurisdictions for which we have not recognized a tax benefit; (b) permanent differences for which we recognized a tax benefit; (c) income in tax jurisdictionsLegacy Primo Acquisition, with lower statutory tax rates than Canada; and (d)26,497,015 common shares issued at $14.25 per share to holders of Legacy Primo (see Note 5 to the Canadian valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2016.

The pending transaction with Refresco is anticipated to generate a gain on sale which could result in a U.S. valuation allowance release and recognition of a material income tax benefit within the next twelve months.

Note 14—15—Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings with respect to matters such as governmental regulations and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

Also, the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection (the “Ministry”) has alleged that a non-profit recycling corporation, which collects and recycles bottles sold by manufacturers, including Eden, failed to meet recycling quotas in 2016, in violation of Israeli law. The law imposes liability directly on manufacturers, and the Ministry has asserted that the manufacturers involved with the corporation owe a fine. Eden received a notice from the Ministry on June 21, 2018. Eden has since undertaken an administrative appeal process and intends to proceed to litigation. Although we cannot predict the outcome of any potential proceedings at this stage, Eden may be subject to a fine in excess of $0.1 million. Management believes, however, that the resolution of this matter will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We had $40.1$44.7 million in standby letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2017June 27, 2020 ($47.4 million as of December 28, 2019).

Guarantees
After the sale of our legacy carbonated soft drink and juice business and our RCI finished goods export business in January 2018, we have continued to provide contractual payment guarantees to 3 third-party lessors of certain real property used in these businesses. The leases were conveyed to Refresco as part of the sale, but our guarantee was not released by the landlord. The 3 lease agreements mature in 2027, 2028 and 2029. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments under the guarantee of approximately $27.3 million as of June 27, 2020 ($42.429.4 million—December 31, 2016).

Note 15—Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments

We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in foreign currency market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact our financial performance and are referred to as market risks. When deemed appropriate by management, we use derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of foreign currency market risks.

We use various types of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, forward contracts, futures contracts and swap agreements for certain commodities. Forward and futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a commodity at a predetermined future date, and at a predetermined rate or price. Forward contracts are tradedover-the-counter whereas future contracts are traded on an exchange. A swap agreement is a contract between two parties to exchange cash flows28, 2019) was calculated based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices.

All derivatives are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets in the line item accounts receivable, net or accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying valuesminimum lease payments of the derivatives reflectleases over the impactremaining term of legally enforceable master netting agreements with each counterparty. These allowthe agreements. The sale documents require Refresco to pay all post-closing obligations under these conveyed leases, and to reimburse us if the landlord calls on a guarantee. Refresco has also agreed to net settle positive and negative positions (assets and liabilities) arising from different transactionsa covenant to negotiate with the same counterparty.

The accountinglandlords for gains and losses that result from changes ina release of our guarantees. Discussions with the fair valueslandlords are ongoing. We currently do not believe it is probable we would be required to perform under any of derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives have been designated and qualify as hedging instruments and the types of hedging relationships. Derivatives can be designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedgesthese guarantees or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The changes in the fair values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify for fair value hedge accounting are recorded in the same line item in our consolidated statements of operations as the changes in the fair value of the hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged. The changes in fair values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into the line item in the consolidated statements of operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the underlying exposures being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the fair values or cash flowsany of the underlying exposures being hedged. The changes in fair values of derivatives that were not designated and/or did not qualify as hedging instruments are immediately recognized into earnings. We classify cash inflows and outflows related to derivative and hedging instruments within the appropriate cash flows section associated with the item being hedged.

For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments, we formally designate and document, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, we formally assess both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized into earnings.

We estimate the fair values of our derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates (see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements). The notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of our exposure to the financial risks described above. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or other financial indices. We do not view the fair values of our derivatives in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values or cash flows of the underlying hedged transactions. All of our derivatives areover-the-counter or exchange traded instruments with liquid markets.

Credit Risk Associated with Derivatives

We have established strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. We monitor counterparty exposures regularly and review promptly any downgrade in counterparty credit rating. We mitigatepre-settlement risk by being permitted to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. To minimize the concentration of credit risk, we enter into derivative transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions. Based on these factors, we consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

We use cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in commodity prices. The changes in fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings. We did not discontinue any cash flow hedging relationships during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or October 1, 2016. Substantially all outstanding hedges as of September 30, 2017 are expected to settle in the next twelve months.

We have entered into coffee futures contracts to hedge exposure to price fluctuations on green coffee associated with fixed-price sales contracts with customers, which generally range from three to 18 months in length. These derivatives have been designated and qualified as a part of our commodity cash flow hedging program effective January 1, 2017. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with future purchases of green coffee.

We did not elect hedge accounting for our coffee futures contracts in 2016. The notional amount for the coffee futures contracts that were designated and qualified for our commodity cash flow hedging program was 32.1 million pounds as of September 30, 2017. The notional amounts for the coffee futures contracts not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments was 44.9 million pounds as of December 31, 2016. The effective portion of the cash-flow hedge recognized in AOCI during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.6 million. Approximately $0.2 million and $1.7 million of realized gains, representing the effective portion of the cash-flow hedge, were subsequently reclassified from AOCI to earnings and recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments was nil and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative assets included within other receivables as a component of accounts receivable, net was nil as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities included in accrued liabilities was $1.9 million and $6.1 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Set forth below is a reconciliation of the Company’s derivatives by contract type for the periods indicated:

Note 16—Fair Value Measurements

ASC No.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

We have certain assets and liabilities such as our derivative instruments that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.

Our derivative assets and liabilities represent Level 2 instruments. Level 2 instruments are valued based on observable inputs for quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. The fair value for the derivative assets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was nil. The fair value for the derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to measure certain items at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets can include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, lease-related right-of-use assets, and long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we would evaluate these non-financial assets for impairment. If an impairment were to occur, the asset would be recorded at the estimated fair value, using primarily unobservable Level 3 inputs.
During the second quarter of 2020, given the general deterioration in economic and market conditions in which we operate arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we identified a triggering event indicating possible impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on goodwill and intangible asset impairment. We did not identify impairment of our property, plant and equipment, lease-related right-of-use assets, or long-lived assets.


Note 17—Guarantor Subsidiaries

Guarantor SubsidiariesSubsequent Events

In July 2020, a settlement agreement was reached with Refresco, the buyer of both our legacy carbonated soft drink and juice business and our Cott Beverages LLC business. In exchange for DSS Notes

The DSS Notes assumed as parta settlement of pending and future claims, $4.0 million of the acquisitionescrow funds were released to Refresco. The remaining $8.4 million and $0.5 million were released to us.

On August 4, 2020, our Board of DSS are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Cott Corporation and certain of its 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “DSS Guarantor Subsidiaries”). DSS and each DSS Guarantor Subsidiary is 100% owned by Cott Corporation. The DSS Notes are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed by Cott Corporation and the DSS Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Indenture governing the DSS Notes (“DSS Indenture”) requires any 100% owned domestic restricted subsidiary (i) that guarantees or becomes a borrower under the Credit Agreement (as defined in the DSS Indenture) or the asset-based lending facility (the “ABL facility”) or (ii) that guarantees any other indebtedness of Cott Corporation, DSS or any of the DSS Guarantor Subsidiaries (other than junior lien obligations) secured by collateral (other than Excluded Property (as defined in the DSS Indenture)) to guarantee on a secured basis the DSS Notes. The guarantees of Cott Corporation and the DSS Guarantor Subsidiaries may be released in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions set forth in the Indenture governing the DSS Notes.

We have not presented separate financial statements and separate disclosures have not been provided concerning the DSS Guarantor Subsidiaries due to the presentation of condensed consolidating financial information set forth in this Note, consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules governing reporting of subsidiary financial information.

The following summarized condensed consolidating financial information of the Company sets forth on a consolidating basis: our Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for Cott Corporation, DSS, the DSS Guarantor Subsidiaries and our othernon-guarantor subsidiaries (the “DSSNon-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). This supplemental financial information reflects our investments and those of DSS in their respective subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.

The €450.0 million (U.S. $531.1 million at the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2017) of the 2024 Notes were initially issued on June 30, 2016 by Cott Finance Corporation, which was not a DSS Guarantor Subsidiary. Cott Finance Corporation was declared an unrestricted subsidiary under the DSS Indenture. As a result, such entity is reflected as a DSSNon-Guarantor Subsidiary in the following summarized condensed consolidating financial information through August 2, 2016. Substantially simultaneously with the closing of the Eden Acquisition on August 2, 2016, we assumed all of the obligations of Cott Finance Corporation as issuer under the 2024 Notes, and Cott Corporation’s U.S., Canadian, U.K., Luxembourg and Dutch subsidiaries that are currently obligors under the 5.375% senior notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and the 6.75% senior notes due 2020 (“2020 Notes”) (including Cott Beverages Inc.) entered into a supplemental indenture to guarantee the 2024 Notes. Currently, the obligors under the 2024 Notes are different than the obligors under the DSS Notes, but identical to the obligors under the 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes. The 2024 Notes are listed on the official list of the Irish Stock Exchange and are traded on the Global Exchange Market thereof.

Guarantor Subsidiaries for 2020 Notes, 2022 Notes, and 2024 Notes

The 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes, each issued by Cott Corporation’s 100% owned subsidiary Cott Beverages Inc. (“CBI”), are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by Cott Corporation and certain of its 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Cott Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Indentures governing the 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes require (i) any 100% owned direct and indirect restricted subsidiary that guarantees any indebtedness of CBI or any guarantor and (ii) anynon-100% owned subsidiary that guarantees any other capital markets debt of CBI or any guarantor to guarantee the 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes. Nonon-100% owned subsidiaries guarantee the 2020 Notes or the 2022 Notes. The guarantees of Cott Corporation and the Cott Guarantor Subsidiaries may be released in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions set forth in the Indentures governing the 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes. In April 2017, the entire aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes were redeemed.

The 2024 Notes were initially issued on June 30, 2016 by Cott Finance Corporation, which was not a Cott Guarantor Subsidiary. Cott Finance Corporation was declared an unrestricted subsidiary under the Indentures governing the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes. As a result, such entity is reflected as a CottNon-Guarantor Subsidiary in the following summarized condensed consolidating financial information through August 2, 2016. Substantially simultaneously with the closing of the Eden Acquisition on August 2, 2016, we assumed all of the obligations of Cott Finance Corporation as issuer under the 2024 Notes, and Cott Corporation’s U.S., Canadian, U.K., Luxembourg and Dutch subsidiaries that are currently obligors under the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes (including CBI) entered into a supplemental indenture to guarantee the 2024 Notes. The Indenture governing the 2024 Notes requires (i) any 100% owned domestic restricted subsidiary that guarantees any debt of the issuer or any guarantor and (ii) and anynon-100% owned subsidiary that guarantees any other capital markets debt of Cott Corporation or any other guarantor to guarantee the 2024 Notes. Nonon-100% owned subsidiaries guarantee the 2024 Notes. The guarantees of CBI and the Cott Guarantor Subsidiaries may be released in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions set forth in the Indenture governing the 2024 Notes. Currently, the obligors under the 2024 Notes are identical to the obligors under the 2020 Notes and the 2022 Notes, but different than the obligors under the DSS Notes. The 2024 Notes are listed on the official list of the Irish Stock Exchange and are traded on the Global Exchange Market thereof.

We have not presented separate financial statements and separate disclosures have not been provided concerning the Cott Guarantor Subsidiaries due to the presentation of condensed consolidating financial information set forth in this Note, consistent with the SEC rules governing reporting of subsidiary financial information.

The following summarized condensed consolidating financial information of the Company sets forth on a consolidating basis: our Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for Cott Corporation, CBI, the Cott Guarantor Subsidiaries and our othernon-guarantor subsidiaries (the “CottNon-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). This supplemental financial information reflects our investments and those of CBI in their respective subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.

It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this quarterly reportQuarterly Report on Form10-Q and our annual reportAnnual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 201628, 2019 (our “2016“2019 Annual Report”). These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks referred to under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our 20162019 Annual Report and under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in our quarterly reportQuarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2017 and in this quarterly report on Form10-Q under “Risk Factors”.March 28, 2020. As used herein, “Cott,“Primo,” “the Company,” “Cott“Primo Water Corporation,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to CottPrimo Water Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Cott

        Primo is a diversified beverage company with a leading volume-based national presencepure-play water solutions provider in the North America, Europe and EuropeanIsrael. Primo operates largely under a recurring razor/razorblade revenue model. The razor in Primo’s revenue model is its industry leading line-up of sleek and innovative water dispensers, which are sold through major retailers and online at various price points or leased to customers. The dispensers help increase household penetration, which drives recurring purchases of Primo’s razorblade offering. Primo’s razorblade offering is comprised of Water Direct, Water Exchange, and Water Refill. Through its Water Direct business, Primo delivers sustainable hydration solutions across its 21-country footprint direct to the customer’s door, whether at home or to commercial businesses. Through its Water Exchange and office delivery (“HOD”) industry for bottledWater Refill businesses, Primo offers pre-filled and reusable containers at over 13,000 locations and water refill units at approximately 22,000 locations, respectively. Primo also offers water filtration units across its 21-country footprint representing a leadertop five position.
Primo’s water solutions expand consumer access to purified, spring and mineral water to promote a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle while simultaneously reducing plastic waste and pollution. Primo is committed to its water stewardship standards and is proud to partner with the International Bottled Water Association in custom coffee roasting and blending of iced tea for the U.S. foodservice industry, and a leader in the production of beverages on behalf of retailers, brand owners and distributors. Our platform reaches over 2.3 million customers or delivery points across North America and Europe supported by strategically located sales and distribution facilities and fleets, as well as wholesalerswith Water coolers Europe, which ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, sanitation and distributors. This enables us to efficiently service residences, businesses, restaurant chains, hotels and motels, small and large retailers, and healthcare facilities.

On July 24, 2017, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Refresco Group N.V., a Netherlands limited liability company (“Refresco”), pursuant toregulatory standards for the benefit of consumer protection.

The market in which we will sell to Refresco our carbonated soft drinks (“CSDs”) and juice businesses via the sale of our North America, United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Mexico business units (including the Canadian business) and our Royal Crown International (“RCI”) finished goods export business (collectively “Traditional Business”). The transaction is structured as a sale of the assets of our Canadian business and a sale of the stock of the operating subsidiaries engaged in the Traditional Business in the other jurisdictions after we complete an internal reorganization. The Traditional Business excludes our Route Based Services and Coffee, Tea and Extract Solutions reporting segments, and RCI concentrate business, the Columbus manufacturing facility and our Aimia Foods (“Aimia”) business. The closing of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval in the United Kingdom. The aggregate deal consideration is $1.25 billion, payable at closing in cash, subject to adjustment for indebtedness, working capital, and other items, and is expected to close near the end of 2017. As a result of the Refresco transaction, the Company presents the Traditional Business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are those of our continuing operations unless otherwise indicated. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

The beverage marketoperate is subject to some seasonal variations. Our water delivery sales are generally higher during the warmer months. Our purchases of raw materials and related accounts payable fluctuate based upon the demand for our products. The seasonality of our sales volume causes our working capital needs to fluctuate throughout the year, with inventory levels increasing in the first half of the year in order to meet high summer demand. In addition, our accounts receivable balances decline in the fall as customers pay their higher-than-average outstanding balances from the summer deliveries.

Ingredient and packaging costs represent a significant portion of our cost of sales. These costs are subject to global and regional commodity price trends. Our most significant commodities are green coffee, polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) resin, high-density polyethylene (“HDPE”) and fuel. We attempt to manage our exposure to fluctuations in ingredient and packaging costs by entering into fixed price commitments for a portion of our ingredient and packaging requirements and implementing price increases as needed.

year.

We conduct operations in countries involving transactions denominated in a variety of currencies. We are subject to currency exchange risks to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. As our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changefluctuations in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have an impact on our results of operations.

During the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2020, we reviewed our reporting segmentsimplemented a restructuring program intended to optimize synergies from the Company’s transition to a pure-play water company following the Legacy Primo Acquisition (defined below) and, as a result, of the Refresco transaction. Following such review, we reorganized our reporting segments into threetwo reporting segments: Route Based ServicesNorth America (which includes our DS Services of America, Inc. (“DSS”), Aquaterra Corporation (“Aquaterra”), Mountain Valley Spring Company (“Mountain Valley”) and Eden Springs Europe B.V. (“Eden”)Legacy Primo (defined below) businesses), Coffee, Tea & Extract Solutions and Rest of World (which includes our S.Eden Springs Nederland B.V. (“Eden”), Aimia Foods Limited (“Aimia”), Decantae Mineral Water Limited (“Decantae”) and John Farrer & D. Coffee, Inc.Company Limited (“S&D”Farrers”) business) and All Other (which includes our Aimia and RCI concentrate businesses, the Columbus manufacturing facilitybusinesses). Our corporate oversight function and other miscellaneous expenses). Our segmentexpenses are aggregated and included in the All Other category. Segment reporting results have been recast to reflect these changes for all periods presented.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Our global operations expose us to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in challenging operating environments. COVID-19 has spread across the globe to all of the countries in which we issued $750.0operate. Authorities in many of these markets have implemented numerous measures to stall the spread of COVID-19, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have impacted and will further impact us, our customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business. There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of any impact that these measures and future measures in response to the pandemic may have on our business, including whether they will result in further changes in demand for our services and products, further increases in operating costs (whether as a result of changes to our supply chain or increases in employee costs or otherwise), and how they will further impact our supply chain, each or all of which can impact our ability to make, manufacture, distribute and sell our products. In addition, measures that impact our ability to access our offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, or that impact the ability of our customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and other third parties to do the same, may impact the availability of our and their employees, many of whom are not able to perform their job functions remotely.

We have implemented safety protocols, including implementing social distancing guidelines, staggering employee shifts, providing our associates with personal protective equipment, and continuing to allow members of our team to work from home where possible. We have been working and will continue to work closely with our business partners on contingency planning in an effort to maintain supply. To date, we have not experienced a material disruption to our operations or supply chain.
While we continue to develop and implement health and safety protocols, business continuity plans and crisis management protocols and have taken other operational actions in an effort to try to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 to our employees and our business, the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and that all will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic and changes in customer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary.
As we deliver bottled water to residential and business customers across a 21-country footprint and provide multi-gallon purified bottled water, self-service refill drinking water and water dispensers to customers through major retailers in North America, the profile of the services we provide and the products we sell, and the amount of revenue attributable to such services and products, varies by jurisdiction. Changes in demand as a result of COVID-19 will vary in scope and timing across these markets. For example, to date, we have seen an increase in volumes in our residential water direct business and a decrease in volumes in our commercial water direct business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any continued economic uncertainty can adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in an inability to pay for our services or products, reduced or canceled orders of our services or products, or our business partners’ inability to supply us with the items necessary for us to make, manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Such adverse changes in our customers’ or business partners’ financial condition may also result in our recording impairment charges for our inability to recover or collect any accounts receivable. In addition, economic uncertainty associated with COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in volatility in the global capital and credit markets, which can impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all.
In response to COVID-19, certain government authorities have enacted programs which provide various economic stimulus measures, including several tax provisions. Among the business tax provisions is the deferral of certain payroll and other tax remittances to future years and wage subsidies as reimbursement for a portion of certain furloughed employees’ salaries. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, we received wage subsidies under these programs totaling $3.4 million. We review our eligibility for these programs for each qualifying period and account for such wage subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to present wage subsidies as a reduction of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. In addition, deferred payroll and other taxes totaling $6.3 million were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $2.9 million were included in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 27, 2020.
During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, we recorded a total of $115.2 million of 5.500% senior notes due Aprilnon-cash impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets. See Note 1 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) to qualified purchasersthe Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on goodwill and intangible asset impairment. The impairment charges were primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and revised projections of future operating results.
Additionally, on June 11, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a plan intended to optimize synergies from the Company’s transition to a pure-play water company following the Legacy Primo Acquisition and to mitigate the negative financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including implementing headcount reductions and furloughs in a private placement offering under Rule 144A underour North America and Rest of World reporting segments (“2020 Restructuring Plan”). When we implement these programs, we incur various charges, including severance, asset impairments, and other employment related costs. In connection with the Securities Act2020 Restructuring Plan, we expect to incur approximately $19.0 million in severance costs, all of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”which are expected to result in cash expenditures and are expected to be fully paid by the end of 2020. All costs incurred by the 2020 Restructuring Plan are included in SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on restructuring charges incurred during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.
During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 we also incurred $6.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively, in other COVID-19 related costs. Other COVID-19 related costs primarily include front-line incentives paid and costs incurred for supplies.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this report, we supplement our reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with GAAPU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) by utilizing certainnon-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items to make period-over-period comparisons for our underlying operations before material changes.

We exclude these items to better understand trends in the business. We exclude the impact of foreign exchange to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes from our results of operations.

We also utilize (loss) earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which is GAAP net (loss) income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, (benefit) expense (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We also utilize adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA excluding acquisition and integration costs, inventorystep-up adjustments, unrealized gain on commodity hedging instruments, net,share-based compensation costs, COVID-19 costs, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, foreign exchange and other (gains) losses, net, loss on disposal of property, plant &and equipment, net, gain(gain) loss on extinguishmentsale of long-term debt, share-based compensation costs,business and other adjustments, net, as the case may be (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Effective January 1, 2017, share-based compensation expense as a part of annual compensation packages is included as an adjustment to EBITDA, and prior periods presented have been updated to incorporate the change. This determination is based upon review of peer companies and business practices among entities undergoing transformation within their operations. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of our operating performance.

We also utilize adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations, which is GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations excluding acquisition and integration costs, inventorystep-up adjustments, unrealized gain on commodity hedging instruments, net, foreign exchange and other (gains) losses, net, loss on disposal of property, plant & equipment, net, interest payment on 2024 Notes (as defined below), interest expense on 2020 Notes (as defined below), tax valuation allowance, gain on extinguishment of long-term debt, other adjustments, and the tax effect of adjustments, as well as adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share from continuing operations, which is adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We consider these measures to be indicators of our operating performance.

Additionally, we supplement our reporting of net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant & equipment to present free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (which is free cash flow excluding acquisition and integration cash costs), which management believes provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet.

Because we use these adjusted financial results in the management of our business and to understand underlying business performance, we believe this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of our business performance and the performance of our management. Thenon-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, thenon-GAAP financial measures included in this report reflect our judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017, our continuing operationsJune 27, 2020, we had total debt of $1,536.6$1,509.8 million and $82.0$211.1 million of cash &and cash equivalents compared to $854.3$1,358.4 million of debt and $78.1$156.9 million of cash &and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.

28, 2019. Our cash and cash equivalents balances as of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019 include $12.4 million of cash proceeds received from the sale of our legacy carbonated soft drink and juice business and our Royal Crown International finished goods export business that are being held in escrow by a third party escrow agent to secure potential indemnification claims. Our cash and cash equivalents balances as of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019 also include $0.5 million of cash proceeds received from the sale of our Cott Beverages LLC business that are being held in escrow by a third party escrow agent to secure potential indemnification claims. In July 2020, a settlement agreement was reached with Refresco, the buyer of both businesses. In exchange for a settlement of pending and future claims, $4.0 million of the escrow funds were released to Refresco. The remaining $8.4 million and $0.5 million were released to us.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our business. The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and that all will vary by market. These factors include the duration and scope of the pandemic, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic, and changes in customer behavior in response to the pandemic, some of which may be more than just temporary. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken certain measures to preserve our liquidity. For example, on April 3, 2020, we borrowed $170.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter of 2020, we repaid $100.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We believe that our level of resources, which includes cash on hand, available borrowings under our asset-based lending facility (the “ABL facility”)Revolving Credit Facility and funds provided by our operations, will be adequate to meet our expenses, capital expenditures, and debt service obligations for the next twelve months. Our ability to generate cash to meet our current expenses and debt service obligations will depend on our future performance. If we do not have enough cash to pay our debt service obligations, or if the ABL facilityRevolving Credit Facility or our outstanding notes were to become currently due, either at maturity or as a result of a breach, we may be required to take actions such as amending our ABL facilityCredit Agreement or the indentures governing our outstanding notes, refinancing all or part of our existing debt, selling assets, incurring additional indebtedness or raising equity. The ABL facility and the DSS Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets and those of the respective guarantor subsidiaries. If the ABL facility or the DSS Notes were to become currently due, the lenders or the trustee, as applicable, may have the right to foreclose on such assets subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement that gives priority to the rights of the ABL lender. If we need to seek additional financing, there is no assurance that this additional financing will be available on favorable terms or at all.

As of September 30, 2017,June 27, 2020, our total availability under the ABL facility was $471.1 million, which was based on our borrowing base (accounts receivables, inventory, and fixed assets as of the September month end under the terms of the credit agreement governing the ABL facility). We had $248.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the ABL facilityRevolving Credit Facility were $206.0 million and $40.1 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result, our excesscredit totaled $44.7 million resulting in total utilization under the Revolving Credit Facility of $250.7 million. Accordingly, unused availability under the ABL facility was $183.0Revolving Credit Facility as of June 27, 2020 amounted to $99.3 million. Each month’s borrowing base is not effective until submitted to the lenders, which usually occurs on the twentieth day of the following month. The ABL facility has been recorded in current liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

We earn mosta portion of our consolidated operating income in subsidiaries located outside of Canada. We have not provided for federal, state orand foreign deferred income taxes on the undistributed earnings of ournon-Canadian subsidiaries. We expect that these earnings as well as any future proceeds related to the Refresco transaction, will be permanently reinvested by such subsidiaries except in certain instances where repatriation attributable to current earnings results in minimal or no tax consequences.

We expect our existing cash &and cash equivalents, from continuing operations, cash flows from continuing operations and the issuance of debt to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating, investing and financing activities related to continuing operations.activities. In addition, we expect our existing cash &and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations outside of Canada to continue to be sufficient to fund the operating activities of our subsidiary continuing operation activities.

subsidiaries.

A future change to our assertion that foreign earnings will be permanently reinvested could result in additional income taxes and/or withholding taxes payable, where applicable. Therefore, a higher effective tax rate could occur during the period of repatriation.

We may, from time to time, depending on market conditions, including without limitation whether our outstanding notes are then trading at a discount to their face amount, repurchase our outstanding notes for cash and/or in exchange for our common shares, warrants, preferred shares, debt or other consideration, in each case in open market purchases and/or privately negotiated transactions. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

We intend However, the covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility subject such purchases to use the proceeds of the Refresco transaction to repay our outstanding ABL facility indebtednesscertain limitations and to redeem the 5.375% senior notes due 2022 from our discontinued operations and the remaining DSS Notes from our continuing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates are based on historical experience, the advice of external experts or on other assumptions management believes to be reasonable. Where actual amounts differ from estimates, revisions are included in the results for the period in which actual amounts become known. Historically, differences between estimates and actual amounts have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the net assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually on the first day of the fourth quarter, based on our reporting unit carrying values, calculated as total assets less non-interest bearing liabilities, as of the end of the third quarter, or more frequently if we determine a triggering event has occurred during the year. During the second quarter of 2020, given the general deterioration in economic and market conditions in which we operate arising from COVID-19 pandemic, we identified a triggering event indicating possible impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, as further described below. We did not identify impairment of our property, plant and equipment, lease-related right-of-use assets, or long-lived assets.
Due to the triggering event identified above arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we first performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of these reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Based on this qualitative assessment, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our Eden, Aimia, Decantae, and Farrers reporting units did not exceed their respective carrying values. As a result, we performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of June 27, 2020 on these reporting units.
Based on the quantitative assessment including consideration of the sensitivity of the assumptions made and methods used to determine fair value, industry trends and other relevant factors, we noted that the estimated fair value of the Aimia reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 23.5%. Therefore, no goodwill impairment charge was recorded for the Aimia reporting unit. Based on the quantitative assessment including consideration of the sensitivity of the assumptions made and methods used to determine fair value, industry trends and other relevant factors, we determined that goodwill was impaired for the Eden, Decantae, and Farrers reporting units and recognized impairment charges of $103.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The impairment charges are included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.
Critical assumptions used in our valuation of the Eden reporting unit included the anticipated future cash flows, a weighted-average terminal growth rate of 1.5% and a discount rate of 9.5%. Critical assumptions used in our valuation of the Aimia, Decantae, and Farrers reporting units included a weighted-average terminal growth rate of 2.0% and a discount rate of 11.5%. The anticipated future cash flows assumption reflects projected revenue growth rates, operating profit margins and capital expenditures. The terminal growth rate assumption incorporated into the discounted cash flow calculation reflects our long-term view of the market and industry, projected changes in the sale of our products, pricing of such products and operating profit margins. The discount rate was determined using various factors and sensitive assumptions, including bond yields, size premiums and tax rates. This rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital a market participant would use if evaluating the reporting unit as an investment. These assumptions are considered significant unobservable inputs and represent our best estimate of assumptions that market participants would use to determine the fair value of the respective reporting units. The key inputs into the discounted cash flow analysis were consistent with market data, where available, indicating that the assumptions used were in a reasonable range of observable market data.
See Note 1 to the consolidatedConsolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on goodwill impairment.
Impairment testing of intangible assets with an indefinite life
Our intangible assets with indefinite lives relate to trademarks acquired in the acquisition of businesses, and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets. Our trademarks with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if we determine a triggering event has occurred during the year.
As a result of the triggering event described above arising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also performed recoverability tests on our intangible assets, primarily trademarks, within each of our reporting segments as of June 27, 2020. We assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our trademarks with indefinite lives were less than their respective carrying value. The qualitative factors we assessed included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows, overall financial statementsperformance compared with forecasted projections in prior periods, and other relevant events, the impact of which are all significant judgments and estimates. Based on this qualitative assessment, we determined that impairment was more likely than not with the trademarks with indefinite lives associated with our Eden and Aquaterra businesses. As a result, we performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of June 27, 2020 on these intangible assets.
51


To determine the fair value of the trademarks with indefinite lives associated with our Eden and Aquaterra businesses, we use a relief from royalty method of the income approach, which calculates a fair value royalty rate that is applied to revenue forecasts associated with those trademarks. The resulting cash flows are discounted using a rate to reflect the risk of achieving the projected royalty savings attributable to the trademarks. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these trademarks are subjective and require significant management judgment, including estimated future revenues, the fair value royalty rate (which is estimated to be a reasonable market royalty charge that would be charged by a licensor of the trademarks) and the risk adjusted discount rate. Based on our impairment test, we determined the trademarks with indefinite lives associated with our Eden and Aquaterra businesses were impaired and recognized impairment charges of $9.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The impairment charges are included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020.
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on intangible assets with an indefinite life impairment.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant portion of our employees are now working from home, while also under shelter-in-place orders or other restrictions. Established business continuity plans were activated in order to mitigate the impact to our control environment, operating procedures, data and internal controls. The design of our processes and controls allow for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017.June 27, 2020. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,June 27, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are functioning effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, our management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of changes in our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, which could cause actual results to vary materially from anticipated results. Reference is made to the risk factors describeddisclosed in Part 1, Item 1A Risk Factors in our 20162019 Annual Report, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2017.March 28, 2020. At the time of this filing, there have been no material changes to our risk factors that were included in our 20162019 Annual Report, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2017, other than as described below.

On July 24, 2017, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Refresco Group N.V., a Netherlands limited liability company (“Refresco”), to sell our Traditional Business in the United States, Canada, Mexico and United Kingdom for $1.25 billion in cash. The transaction, which is expected to close near the end of 2017, is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval from the United Kingdom. If any closing conditions are not met, the closing of the transaction may be delayed or fail to occur, and we may not achieve the intended benefits we anticipate. Other risks and uncertainties related to the pending transaction include, among others: the difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel; the need to provide significant ongoing post-closing transition support to Refresco; and the obligation to indemnify or reimburse Refresco for certain past liabilities of the divested business. In addition, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the transaction, as well as the diversion of management resources, for which we will receive little or no benefit if the closing of the transaction does not occur. We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we may encounter arising from the transaction, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
