Item 8.01. Other Events
On February 6, 2013, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Central European Distribution Corporation (“CEDC”) sent a formal response to the notice received by CEDC from Roust Trading Ltd. (“RTL”) on January 29, 2013, that RTL is seeking to exercise its claimed put right under Section 8.13 of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 2012, by and between CEDC and RTL (the “Agreement”). CEDC asserts that the put right reflected in Section 8.13 of the Agreement (and all other provisions in the Agreement and all related agreements) has been terminated and may no longer be exercised by RTL.
CEDC and RTL subsequently entered into a forbearance agreement dated February 6, 2013, to the effect that neither party will pursue any further action in respect of the put right notice for a period to April 30, 2013, after which either party may assert any and all remedies available to it. This agreement is without prejudice to the claims or rights of either party and both parties have fully reserved their rights in this respect.
A copy of the response to RTL from the Special Committee of the CEDC Board of Directors is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
