Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The market price of our common stock may decline if we do not achieve the expected benefits and synergies of the JDE Peet's Acquisition.
The market price of our common stock may decline if we do not achieve the expected benefits and synergies of the JDE Peet's Acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by management or financial or industry analysts, or if the effect of the JDE Peet's Acquisition on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of management or financial or industry analysts.
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 2Our acquisition of JDE Peet's exposes us to significant geopolitical, regulatory, and operational risks in Russia, including the potential loss of those operations, that could adversely affect our business.
Following our acquisition of JDE Peet's, we are exposed to substantial geopolitical, sanctions, legal, operational, financial and reputational risks relating to its manufacturing operations and assets in Russia. These risks could result in the loss of our investments in Russia, significant disruption to the acquired business operations in Russia and adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition. JDE Peet's Russian operations represented approximately 6% of JDE Peet's consolidated revenue in both 2025 and 2024 and approximately 2% and 1% of JDE Peet's total assets in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine and related international responses, including sanctions, export controls, financial restrictions and other measures targeting Russia, Russian entities and certain sectors of the Russian economy, as well as countersanctions measures adopted by the Russian government, have created uncertainty for companies operating in Russia. These measures, and any future changes to them, could be imposed or expanded at any time and could affect our ability to source materials, obtain equipment or services, make or receive payments, engage with customers or suppliers, access financial institutions, or otherwise conduct business in Russia. The legal and regulatory environment affecting foreign-owned businesses in Russia remains dynamic and unpredictable and may continue to change, potentially on short notice. New or expanded sanctions, export controls, Russian countermeasures or other restrictions could require us to modify, reduce, suspend or exit some or all of our Russian operations, potentially at substantial cost. In addition, the Russian government has adopted, and may continue to adopt, laws, regulations or administrative measures targeting foreign-owned businesses, including restrictions on transfers of funds, limitations on the payment of dividends, mandatory approvals for transactions involving foreign investors, the imposition of temporary external administration, and other measures that can in practice result in the seizure, nationalization or expropriation of assets. Any such measures could substantially impair, or result in the complete loss of, our control over and the value of the JDE Peet's business in Russia. We may be unable to sell, transfer or otherwise exit our Russian operations on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and any such disposition, or any seizure, nationalization or expropriation, could occur at a substantial discount to, or result in the complete write-off of, carrying value, resulting in significant losses, impairments, write-downs or restructuring charges. Compliance with these requirements may be complex, particularly as we integrate the acquired business into our compliance, governance and control frameworks. Any actual or alleged failure to comply with applicable sanctions, export controls, anti-corruption or other laws or regulations, as well as with any countersanctions measures adopted by the Russian government, could result in investigations, substantial civil or criminal penalties, business restrictions, litigation, reputational harm or other adverse consequences. JDE Peet's Russian operations may also be affected by supply-chain disruption, logistics constraints, currency volatility, inflation, reduced demand, limitations on access to technology, software, equipment or professional services, and other operating challenges. In addition, our continued ownership of operations in Russia may subject us to heightened scrutiny and criticism from investors, customers, employees, business partners, governments, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders, who may regard any continued Russian operations as inconsistent with their expectations regardless of scope, resulting in reputational harm, loss of customers, reduced access to capital, or shareholder activism and litigation. Any of the foregoing risks, individually or in the aggregate, could result in a loss of assets, significant business disruption, reduced revenues, increased costs, substantial impairment charges, reduced liquidity and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 49
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1AddedThe market price of our common stock may decline if we do not achieve the expected benefits and synergies of the JDE Peet's Acquisition.
The market price of our common stock may decline if we do not achieve the expected benefits and synergies of the JDE Peet's Acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by management or financial or industry analysts, or if the effect of the JDE Peet's Acquisition on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of management or financial or industry analysts.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the JDE Peet's Acquisition may adversely affect the rights and market price of our common stock as well as our capital resources.
In connection with the JDE Peet's Acquisition, we issued and sold shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to the Preferred Investors. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock, meaning that, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock would be paid in full prior to any proceeds being paid to holders of our common stock. Preferred Investors are entitled to dividends at a rate of 4.75% per annum, subject to increase in certain cases. They are also entitled to participate in dividends paid to holders of our common stock on an as-converted basis, provided that any such dividends received on an as-converted basis will reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the dividends holders are entitled to receive on the Convertible Preferred Stock. Such dividends will reduce our cash available for other purposes, including working capital, strategic activities, and returning cash to holders of our common stock. Preferred Investors are entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis, together with holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock, effectively reducing the relative voting power of the holders of our common stock. In addition, the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock would dilute the ownership interest of existing holders of our common stock, and any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. We have granted certain Preferred Investors customary registration rights in respect of their Convertible Preferred Stock, and any shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. These registration rights would facilitate the resale of such securities into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares available for public trading. Sales by the Preferred Investors of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In the event of a fundamental change, as defined in the document governing the Convertible Preferred Stock, we will be required to offer to repurchase the Convertible Preferred Stock, which would reduce the amount of cash available to us for other purposes. Certain Preferred Investors also have certain preemptive rights, which may impact our ability to raise capital in the future. Our obligations to the Preferred Investors could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or increase our borrowing costs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. The rights of the Preferred Investors could also result in divergent interests between the Preferred Investors and holders of our common stock. In addition, the Preferred Investment Agreement provides that, without the prior written consent of the KKR Investor or the Apollo Investor (so long as the KKR Investor or the Apollo Investor owns at least 50% of its initial Preferred Investment), we will not permit the Separation to be consummated if (A) our pro forma total net leverage, as defined in the Preferred Investment Agreement, immediately following the Separation is greater than 4.00 to 1.00, if a Qualified IPO shall have been consummated on or prior to the Separation, or 4.25 to 1.00, if a Qualified IPO shall not have been consummated on or prior to the Separation, or (B) the corporate rating of either of the separated businesses, on a pro forma basis at the time of the Separation, would be less than investment grade from either Moody's or S&P. For so long as the Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, in the event of a ratings downgrade by either Moody's or S&P, we will be subject to additional negative covenants that would restrict our operational flexibility.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Following the Separation, the price of our common stock may decline and may experience greater volatility.
Upon completion of the Separation, the price of our common stock may decline compared to its level immediately prior to, as it will no longer include the value of the separated business. In addition, the price of our common stock may experience greater volatility until the market has fully analyzed our value without the separated business. We cannot guarantee that the combined value of the shares of the two resulting companies will be equal to or greater than what the value of our common stock would have been had the proposed Separation not occurred.
