Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information represents the pro forma impacts of multiple transactions, each of which are described in the following paragraphs.
The DSS Acquisition
On November 6, 2014, Cott Corporation (the “Company” or “Cott”), and its newly formed, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Delivery Acquisition, Inc. (‘‘Merger Sub’’), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ‘‘Merger Agreement’’) with DSS Group, Inc. (“DSS Group”) and Crestview DSW Investors, L.P., as the sellers’ representative. On December 12, 2014, Merger Sub merged with and into DSS Group, with DSS Group as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, DSS Group became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. DSS Group, parent company to DS Services of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “DSS”), is a provider of bottled water, coffee and filtration services to commercial and residential customers across the United States.
The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company was $1.246 billion, paid at closing in cash, through the assumption of certain indebtedness of DSS Group, and through the issuance of Convertible Preferred Shares (as defined below) and Non-Convertible Preferred Shares (as defined below) to the security holders of DSS Group. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments for net working capital, net indebtedness and transaction expenses. DSS Group had been a portfolio company of Crestview Partners. Neither DSS Group, Crestview Partners nor any of DSS Group’s security holders had a material relationship with the Company before the Merger, and the Merger was not an affiliated transaction.
The Company paid for the acquisition and a portion of the related acquisition costs through a combination of incremental borrowings under the Company’s amended asset based lending facility (the “ABL facility”) of approximately $180.0 million, the issuance of $625.0 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), the assumption of $350 million of the 10.000% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2021 issued by DS Services of America, Inc. (“DS Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS Group (the “DSS Notes”) and the issuance of newly-created Series A Convertible Preferred Shares having an aggregate value of approximately $116.1 million (the “Convertible Preferred Shares”) and newly-created Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Shares having an aggregate value of $32.7 million (the “Non-Convertible Preferred Shares” and together with the Convertible Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares”), in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, a portion of the aggregate consideration is being held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of DSS Group’s security holders under the Merger Agreement.
Cott and DSS Group incurred approximately $35.9 million and $ 37.2 million of acquisition related costs, respectively, including $9.8 million for certain bridge financing and related legal fees, $20.2 million as consent fees to the holders of the DSS Notes and legal, banker and other advisory fees of $43.1 million. This does not include legal fees related to the equity financing, which is estimated to be approximately $0.4 million, and financing and related legal fees for the debt financing, which is estimated to be approximately $16.2 million. The financing fees related to the debt financing were reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as deferred financing costs and equity issuance costs were deducted from retained earnings.
In connection with the DSS Acquisition, $29.4 million was required to cash collateralize certain DSS self-insurance programs. The $29.4 million was funded with borrowings against our ABL facility, and cash collateral is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets.
The Aimia Acquisition
On May 30, 2014, the United Kingdom / Europe (“U.K.”) Business Unit of Cott entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which it acquired on that date 100% of the share capital of Aimia Foods Holdings Limited (“Aimia”). Aimia, a privately-held company headquartered in Merseyside, United Kingdom, manufactures, sells and distributes food and beverages, including hot chocolate, coffee, malt drinks,
1
creamers/whiteners and cereals. The purchase price under the SPA, based on exchange rates in effect on the acquisition date of May 30, 2014, included the payment of approximately $80.4 million at closing plus a $7.2 million adjustment for working capital, $33.5 million in deferred consideration paid in September 2014, and an on-target earnout consideration of $20.1 million, with a minimum earnout consideration of $13.4 million and a maximum earnout consideration of $26.9 million, based upon the achievement by Aimia of certain performance measures during the twelve months ending July 1, 2016. Hereafter, this transaction is referred to as the “Aimia Acquisition.”
Basis for historical Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 27, 2014 gives effect to the DSS Acquisition as if it occurred on September 27, 2014. The Aimia Acquisition is already reflected in Cott’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2014; therefore, no pro forma balance sheet adjustments are necessary to show the pro forma impact of the Aimia Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 28, 2013 and the nine months ended September 27, 2014 assume that the DSS Acquisition and the Aimia Acquisition were consummated on December 30, 2012.
Cott’s historical financial information for the year ended December 28, 2013 and as of and for the nine month period ended September 27, 2014 is derived from the Company’s Form 10-K and 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 24, 2014 and November 4, 2014, respectively. The historical financial information for DSS for the year ended December 27, 2013 is derived by adding the financial data from DSS’s audited consolidated financial statements for the predecessor period beginning December 29, 2012 through and including August 30, 2013 and the successor period beginning June 29, 2013 through and including December 27, 2013, respectively. In connection with the acquisition of DSS by Crestview DSW Investors, L.P. (the “Crestview Acquisition”), Crestview DS Merger Sub II, Inc. (the “Crestview Merger Sub”) was formed to facilitate the Crestview Acquisition. The Crestview Merger Sub did not survive the Crestview Acquisition. Prior to the incorporation of Crestview Merger Sub, DSS incurred costs on Crestview Merger Sub’s behalf beginning on June 29, 2013, which is the beginning of the successor period. The historical financial data for DSS for the nine month period ended September 26, 2014 is derived from its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 26, 2014.
The historical financial information of Aimia in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 28, 2013 is calculated by adding the unaudited historical financial information of Aimia in the consolidated profit and loss account for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and the audited historical financial information of Aimia in the consolidated profit and loss account for the year ended June 30, 2013, and subtracting the unaudited historical financial information of Aimia in the consolidated profit and loss account for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The historical financial information of Aimia included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 is derived from the unaudited historical profit and loss of Aimia for the five months ended May 31, 2014. The results of operations of Aimia from May 30, 2014 through and including September 27, 2014 is already reflected in Cott’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014.
The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to matters that are (i) directly attributable to the DSS Acquisition and the Aimia Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:
• | the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information; |
• | the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Cott as of and for the year ended December 28, 2013, included in Cott’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference; |
2
• | the separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cott as of and for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, included in Cott’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 4, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference; |
• | the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of DSS as of December 27, 2013 and for the periods from June 29, 2013 to December 27, 2013 (Successor) and from December 29, 2012 to August 30, 2013 (Predecessor), and for each of the two years in the period ended December 28, 2012 (Predecessor) included herein; |
• | the separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DSS as of and for the nine months ended September 26, 2014, included herein; |
• | the audited historical financial statements of Aimia as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, included in Cott’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 6, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference; |
• | the unaudited historical financial statements of Aimia as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, included in Cott’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 6, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference; and |
• | the unaudited historical financial statements of Aimia as of and for the five months ended May 31, 2014, included in Cott’s Current Report on 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 2, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the business combination accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805,Business Combinations, with Cott treated as the accounting acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will differ from the final acquisition accounting for a number of reasons, including the fact that the estimates of fair values of assets and liabilities acquired are preliminary and subject to change when the formal valuation and other studies are finalized. The differences that will occur between the preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the DSS Acquisition and the Aimia Acquisition had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the DSS Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any revenue or cost savings from synergies that may be achieved with respect to the combined companies, or the impact of non-recurring items, including synergies, directly related to the DSS Acquisition and Aimia Acquisition.

1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented above gives effect to both the DSS Acquisition and the Aimia Acquisition. The historical financial information of Cott and DSS is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The historical financial information of Aimia is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (“U.K. GAAP”). Such financial information has been subject to pro forma adjustments to align with U.S. GAAP.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 27, 2014 was prepared using the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Cott and DSS as of September 27, 2014 and September 26, 2014, respectively. The Aimia Acquisition is already reflected in Cott’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2014; therefore, no pro forma balance sheet adjustments are necessary to show the pro forma impact of the Aimia Acquisition.
Cott’s historical financial information for the year ended December 28, 2013 and as of and for the nine month period ended September 27, 2014 is derived from the Company’s Form 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 24, 2014 and November 4, 2014, respectively. The historical financial information for DSS for the year ended December 27, 2013 is derived by adding the financial data from DSS’s’ audited consolidated financial statements for the predecessor period beginning December 29, 2012 through and including August 30, 2013 and the successor period beginning June 29, 2013 through and including December 27, 2013. Prior to the incorporation of Crestview Merger Sub, DSS incurred costs on Crestview Merger Sub’s behalf beginning on June 29, 2013, which is the beginning of the successor period. The historical financial data for DSS for the nine month period ended September 26, 2014 is derived from its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 26, 2014.
The historical financial information of Aimia in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 28, 2013 is calculated by adding the unaudited historical financial information of Aimia in the consolidated profit and loss account for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and the audited historical financial information of Aimia in the consolidated profit and loss account for the year ended June 30, 2013, and subtracting the unaudited historical financial information of Aimia in the consolidated profit and loss account for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The historical financial information of Aimia included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 is derived from the unaudited historical profit and loss of Aimia for the five months ended May 31, 2014. The results of operations of Aimia from May 30, 2014 through and including September 27, 2014 is already reflected in Cott’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014.
Management has made certain adjustments to Aimia’s historical financial statements prepared under U.K. GAAP to conform to Cott’s accounting policies under U.S. GAAP used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Additionally, management has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform DSS’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Cott in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Certain historical financial information of DSS and Aimia has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of historical financial information of Cott. However, the pro forma financial statements may not reflect all the adjustments necessary to conform the accounting policies of DSS to those of Cott as the Company is still in the process of conforming the accounting policies of DSS to those of Cott as of the date of this Current Report on 8-K/A.
The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to matters that are (i) directly attributable to the DSS Acquisition and the Aimia Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the DSS Acquisition and the Aimia Acquisition and certain other adjustments. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date the respective acquisitions close, and could result in a significant change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including goodwill.

2. Calculation of Purchase Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation of the DSS Acquisition
The fair value of consideration transferred on the DSS acquisition date includes the value of the estimated cash consideration, the estimated fair value of the preferred equity transferred as part of the DSS Acquisition, and the repayment of DSS’s term loan. The aggregate merger consideration is subject to post-closing adjustments for net working capital, net indebtedness and certain transaction expenses. A preliminary estimate of the purchase consideration is as follows:
(dollars in millions) | ||||
Cash to sellers | $ | 449.7 | ||
Cash paid on behalf of sellers for their expenses | 25.3 | |||
Cash paid on behalf of DSS to retire existing term loan | 317.3 | |||
Convertible Preferred Shares, issued at par | 116.1 | |||
Non-Convertible Preferred Shares, issued at par | 32.7 | |||
|
| |||
Estimated purchase consideration | $ | 941.1 |
Of the $449.7 million of cash paid to sellers $20.4 million represents amounts payable to employees of DSS, this amount and $25.3 million of cash paid on behalf of sellers for their expenses is settled after close and is recorded as a deferred consideration included within accounts payable and accrued liabilities (as described in Note 3(g)) in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of DSS are recorded at the acquisition date fair values and added to those of Cott. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the DSS Acquisition. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of DSS based on DSS’s September 26, 2014 balance sheet, with the excess recorded as goodwill:
(dollars in millions) | ||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 67.8 | ||
Accounts receivable | 109.9 | |||
Income tax recoverable | 0.9 | |||
Inventories | 46.8 | |||
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 9.6 | |||
Deferred income taxes | 1.7 | |||
Property, plant & equipment | 403.3 | |||
Intangibles and other assets | 379.9 | |||
|
| |||
Total assets | $ | 1,019.9 | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (117.7 | ) | ||
Long-term debt | (406.3 | ) | ||
Deferred income taxes | (104.2 | ) | ||
Other long-term liabilities | (19.7 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Total liabilities | $ | (647.9 | ) | |
Net assets acquired (a) | 372.0 | |||
Estimated purchase consideration (b) | 941.1 | |||
Estimated goodwill (b) - (a) | $ | 569.1 |
On December 10, 2014, DSS entered into a sale-leaseback transaction which increased the cash acquired in the DSS Acquisition by $48.2 million. This increased the cash acquired when compared to the balance shown in the historical DSS balance sheet of $19.6 million to $67.8 million (see Note 3(b)).
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the pro forma financial statements consist of anticipated intangibles derived from customer relationships and trademarks and trade names. All intangible assets of DSS have definite lives. The amortization related to these definite lived intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment, as further described in Note 4(d). The identifiable intangible assets’ estimated fair value and related amortization estimates are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates after consideration of similar transactions. As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. In addition, the periods in which the amortization expense is recorded ultimately will be based upon the periods in which the associated economic benefits or detriments are expected to be derived, or where appropriate, based on the use of a straight-line method. Therefore, the amount of amortization following the DSS Acquisition may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned, and amortization methodology used, for each identifiable intangible asset.
The deferred income tax assets have been adjusted to tax effect the difference between the carrying value and fair value of DSS’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Cott. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.
Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill recognized in the DSS Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The final determination of the purchase price allocation of the DSS Acquisition will be based on DSS’s net assets acquired as of the DSS acquisition date. The purchase price allocation may change materially based on the receipt of more detailed information. Therefore, the actual allocations will differ from the pro forma adjustments presented.

Total | $ | 373.3 |
For purposes of valuing the intangible assets, the income approach was primarily used. Specifically, the relief from royalty method was used to value the trademarks and trade names, and the Multi-period Excess Earnings method was used to value the customer relationships.
The estimated effect of amortization of the customer relationships on the operating results for the five years following the acquisition is expected to be as follows:

(g) | Represents adjustment to income tax expense as a result of the tax impact on the pro forma adjustments related to financing and purchase price allocation adjustments based on an effective tax rate of 37.4% to compute the income tax expense related to each entity’s pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. |
(h) | Represents pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). The numerator for pro forma basic EPS has been computed in the manner discussed in the table below. To calculate diluted EPS, any impact of the potential dilutive instruments (i.e. stock options, performance-based restricted share units (“RSU”), timed based RSUs and the Convertible Preferred Shares) would be antidilutive as these would decrease the loss per share. As such, the basic and diluted EPS are the same for the pro forma periods presented. |

Basic and diluted earnings per share | $ | (0.66 | ) | $ | (0.44 | ) |
(i) | Certain one-time costs totaling $46.5 million reflected in DSS’s historical financial statements have not been adjusted, as they are not directly attributable to the DSS Acquisition. These represent $19.9 million of legal and other professional service transactional costs, $15.2 million of write-off of deferred financing costs and $11.4 million pre-payment penalty on debt, associated with the Crestview Acquisition. If such costs were adjusted, the pro forma net loss would be reduced by $29.1 million, net of tax. |
(j) | Represents adjustments for dividends earned but not yet declared or paid for the Preferred Shares issued as partial consideration for the DSS Acquisition. Such dividends will be subject to a 25.0% dividend distribution tax. No adjustment has been made for such taxes as they would be due only when the Company declares and distributes dividends to its shareholders. Additionally, represents adjustment to eliminate dividends earned but not yet declared or paid for the preferred stock issued by DSS, as of December 27, 2013, as those preferred securities were eliminated as part of the Crestview Acquisition. |
(k) | Represents adjustment for rental expense related to certain properties for which DSS entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement on December 10, 2014. These properties were not acquired by Cott; however, Cott acquired the right to use the properties through the sale-leaseback arrangement. |
(l) | Represents straight line amortization of certain prepaid insurance costs incurred as a precondition to the consummation of the DSS Acquisition. |

The following adjustments were made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for Aimia for the year ended December 28, 2013.
(a) | These amounts in millions of U.S. Dollars have been converted from pounds sterling at a conversion rate of 1.56433, which approximates the average exchange rate over the period from December 30, 2012 through December 28, 2013. |
(b) | This adjustment is to reflect the amortization of the deferred income associated with the portion of the historical cost of machinery and equipment financed by a customer, and an increase in depreciation expense associated with the increase in historical cost of the equipment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The machinery and equipment was historically recorded under U.K. GAAP at the portion of the historical cost of the equipment paid directly by Aimia. |
(c) | This adjustment is to reflect the historical balances of Aimia in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The decrease in SG&A expenses of $0.7 million reverses the amortization of goodwill recognized by Aimia in accordance with U.K. GAAP during the year ended December 28, 2013. |
(d) | The $0.1 million increase in other income reflects Aimia’s equity in earnings of its joint venture investment in accordance with U.S. GAAP equity method of accounting for investments, which was previously accounted for at cost under U.K. GAAP. |
(e) | The adjustment in the bond offering column assumes income taxes assessed at the same effective rate applicable to Cott, as those transactions are specific to the Company. The adjustments in the other pro forma adjustment columns assume income taxes based on Aimia’s historical statutory income tax rate. However, the effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different, depending on post-acquisition activities. |
(f) | This adjustment represents an interest rate savings associated with the refinance of Cott’s 8.125% Senior Notes due in 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) with Cott’s 5.375% Senior Notes due in 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and reducing the interest rate from 8.125% to 5.375%, including the impact of the change in amortization of deferred financing costs. |
(g) | This adjustment represents an increase in amortization expense for the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Aimia, as well as an increase in depreciation for the step up of acquired PP&E to their fair values as of the acquisition date totaling $6.4 million, of which $4.7 million is related to the amortization of the customer relationships and licensing agreements intangible assets recorded as an adjustment to SG&A expenses. The adjustment to SG&A expenses was reduced by $0.2 million to eliminate certain acquisition related costs reflected in the historical profit and loss accounts of Aimia for the year ended December 28, 2013. Those acquisition costs, which included financial and other advisory fees, are excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 2013, as they are considered non-recurring. The remaining $1.1 million is attributable to an increase in cost of goods sold associated with the increase in fair value of acquired finished goods inventories sold during the year ended December 28, 2013. |
(h) | This adjustment reverses the historical interest expense of Aimia, as all interest-bearing liabilities were repaid by the former owners of Aimia prior to the acquisition. |

The following adjustments were made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for Aimia for the five months ended May 29, 2014. The results of operations of Aimia from May 30, 2014 through and including September 27, 2014 is already reflected in Cott’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014.
(i) | These amounts in millions of U.S. Dollars have been converted from pounds sterling at a conversion rate of 1.66636, which approximates the average exchange rate over the period from December 29, 2013 through May 31, 2014. |
(j) | This adjustment is to reflect the amortization of the deferred income associated with the portion of the historical cost of machinery and equipment financed by a customer, and an increase in depreciation expense associated with the increase in historical cost of the equipment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The machinery and equipment was historically recorded under U.K. GAAP at the portion of the historical cost of the equipment paid by Aimia. |
(k) | This adjustment is to reflect the historical balances of Aimia in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The decrease in SG&A expenses of $0.3 million reverses the amortization of goodwill recognized by Aimia in accordance with U.K. GAAP during the five months ended May 29, 2014. |
(l) | The $0.1 million increase in other income reflects Aimia’s equity in earnings of its joint venture investment in accordance with U.S. GAAP equity method of accounting for investments, which was previously accounted for at cost under U.K. GAAP. |
(m) | The adjustment in the bond offering column assumes income taxes assessed at the same effective rate applicable to Cott, as those transactions are specific to the Company. The adjustments in the other pro forma adjustment columns assume income taxes based on Aimia’s historical statutory income tax rate. However, the effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different, depending on post-acquisition activities. |
(n) | This adjustment represents an interest rate savings associated with the refinance of the 2018 Notes with the 2022 Notes and reducing the interest rate from 8.125% to 5.375%, including the impact of the change in amortization of deferred financing costs. |
(o) | This adjustment represents an increase in amortization expense for the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Aimia Acquisition, as well as an increase in depreciation for the step up of acquired PP&E to their fair values as of the acquisition date totaling $2.8 million, of which $2.1 million is related to the amortization of the customer relationships and licensing agreements intangible assets recorded as an adjustment to SG&A expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses of $2.1 million noted above was completely offset by adjustments of $1.8 million and $0.3 million to eliminate certain acquisition related costs reflected in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations of Cott and the historical profit and loss accounts of Aimia for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, respectively. Those acquisition costs, which included financial and other advisory fees, are excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2014, as they are considered non-recurring. |
(p) | This adjustment reverses the historical interest expense of Aimia, as all interest-bearing liabilities were repaid by the former owners of Aimia prior to the acquisition. |
