Item
1.01. Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August
29, 2007, we entered into an agreement with The Coca-Cola Company, Coca-Cola
North America Division. The Coca-Cola Company is our largest
shareowner and is the principal licensor of beverages that we produce and
distribute.
Under
the
one-page agreement, titled Focus and Commitment Letter, the parties described
certain guiding principles regarding the marketing and distribution of still
and
sparkling beverages, with particular focus on collaboration during
2008. As a part of the agreement, we agreed that during the
three-year period ending August 31, 2010, we would build existing beverage
brands and other brands as mutually agreed with The Coca-Cola
Company. This agreement not to introduce new brands absent mutual
agreement was conditioned on our selling certain glacéau-brand beverages during
the period, and excluded certain line extensions.
