EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Post-Effective Amendment (“Post-Effective Amendment”) filed by Primo Water Corporation (formerly known as “New PW Holdco, Inc.”), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statements”) filed by Primo Water Operations, Inc. (formerly known as “Primo Water Corporation”), a Delaware corporation (the “Predecessor”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

 

 

File No. 333-175165, as filed with the Commission on June 27, 2011, originally registering an aggregate of 1,037,817 shares of the common stock of the Predecessor (“Common Stock”), comprised of 718,273 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Primo Water Corporation 2010 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (as subsequently amended, the “Omnibus Plan”), 295,586 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Primo Water Corporation 2004 Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and 23,958 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Primo Water Corporation 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”).

 

 

File No. 333-192341, as filed with the Commission on November 14, 2013, originally registering an aggregate of 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock, comprised of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Omnibus Plan and 250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the ESPP.

 

 

File No. 333-203916, as filed with the Commission on May 6, 2015, originally registering 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Omnibus Plan.

 

The Company, as the successor registrant to the Predecessor, is filing this Post-Effective Amendment pursuant to Rule 414 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to reflect an internal reorganization of the Predecessor (the “Reorganization”).

 

To effect the Reorganization, the Predecessor formed the Company and in turn caused the Company to form New PW Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Reorganization was implemented pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) by the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Predecessor (the “Merger”). The Predecessor survived the Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each outstanding share of capital stock of the Predecessor was converted in the Merger into a share of capital stock of the Company having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the share of the Predecessor’s capital stock being converted. The Company is deemed to be the successor issuer of the Predecessor under Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Immediately following the Merger, the Company entered into a Compensation Plan and Warrant Assignment Agreement with the Predecessor pursuant to which the Company assumed all of the Predecessor’s rights and obligations under all of its employee benefit plans, agreements and arrangements, equity incentive plans and sub-plans and related agreements, including obligations with respect to the outstanding shares pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the 2004 Plan and the ESPP (collectively, the “Plans”), and outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock.

 

In accordance with paragraph (d) of Rule 414 of the Securities Act, the Company hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statements as its own registration statements (except as specifically amended by this Post-Effective Amendment) for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as updated by subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. No changes are being made hereby to the prospectuses which form a part of the Registration Statements.

 

 

 

 

PART I

 

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

 

The documents containing the information specified in Part I of Form S-8 with respect to a particular Plan will be delivered to participants in such Plan, as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act. Such documents are not required to be, and are not, filed with the Commission either as part of the applicable Registration Statement or as a prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference in the applicable Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this form, taken together, constitute prospectuses that meet the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act with respect to each of the Plans.

 

Upon written or oral request, the Company will provide, without charge, the documents incorporated by reference in Item 3 of Part II of the Registration Statements. The Company will also provide, without charge, upon written or oral request, other documents required to be delivered to employees pursuant to Rule 428(b). Requests for the above mentioned information should be directed to Primo Water Corporation, Attn: Corporate Secretary, 101 North Cherry Street, Suite 501, Winston-Salem, NC 27101, phone number (336) 331-4000.
