EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

SodaStream International Ltd. (the “Company”) is filing this Form 6-K pursuant to a new practice being implemented by the Company to disclose open market purchases of its ordinary shares by its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Open market sales of the Company’s ordinary shares by its executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are subject to the requirement to file a Form 144 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the Company will not file a Form 6-K to announce open market sales of its ordinary shares by these executive officers for so long as they are required to file a Form 144 with respect to such sales and the Company is satisfied that such filings are sufficient to inform the market of such sales. The Company reserves the right to revise this practice in the future and will announce any material revisions to its practices on a Form 6-K.

 

Pursuant to the foregoing, on August 26, 2015, Daniel Birnbaum, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, purchased 30,000 ordinary shares of the Company in open market transactions at a price per share of $13.95. Mr. Birnbaum owns a total of 143,420 ordinary shares of the Company following this purchase and other previous open market purchases. This amount does not include options to purchase ordinary shares.
