In January 2018, the Company completed the sale of its traditional beverage manufacturing business to Refresco for $1.25 billion. The acquisition of Crystal Rock is in-line with the Company's strategy of focusing on its core business as route-based services provider in water, coffee, tea, extracts and filtration solutions.

Terms of the acquisition

As per the terms of the agreement, Cott has approved payment to Crystal Rock's shareholders for $0.97 cash for each Crystal Rock's share they hold. All outstanding Crystal Rock's shares will be acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cott via a tender offer at $0.97 per share. The completion of the tender offer is subject to certain conditions including the minimum tender of a majority of outstanding shares of Crystal Rock's common stock on a fully diluted basis and other customary conditions. Once the tender offer is completed, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Cott will merge with and into Crystal Rock. This merged entity will then become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cott. Any eligible shares which are not tendered will be treated as cancelled and will have the right to receive $0.97 in cash for each share. Once the transaction is completed, the shares of Crystal Rock will stop trading on the New York Stock Exchange, where they are currently listed.

Cott has entered into a support agreement with nearly 50.8% of Crystal Rock's shareholders who have agreed to tender their shares to Cott's tender offer.

The deal is expected to close in March 2018, subject to fulfilment of the conditions to the tender offer and other closing conditions. Cott has intimated that it would share pertinent information on the financial impact and other details of the acquisition once the transaction is completed.
