$136 million respectively, as reflected in the Forecasts, from the range of illustrative implied enterprise values it derived for Primo. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of illustrative
implied equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding of Primo as of December 31 for each of the fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (42.742.8 million shares and 42.842.9 million shares respectively),
as reflected in the Forecasts, and discounted the resulting implied future share prices to present value as of January 10, 2020, using an illustrative discount rate of 6.3%, reflecting an estimate by Goldman Sachs of Primos cost of
equity, to derive a range of illustrative implied present values per share of Primo common stock. Goldman Sachs derived such illustrative discount rate by application of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which requires certain company-specific
inputs, including an estimated beta for Primo, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. This analysis resulted in an illustrative range of implied present equity values of $11.94 to $16.23 per share of
Primo common stock.

By replacing the last paragraph under the heading Selected Transaction Analysis with the following:
|
For each of the selected transactions, Goldman Sachs calculated and compared the estimated transaction enterprise value,
which is (x) the announced per share consideration paid or payable in the applicable transaction multiplied by the number of diluted outstanding shares of the target company plus (y) the net debt of the target company, based on data
obtained from public filings, Mergermarket and Capital IQ, as a multiple of the EBITDA as of the announcement date for the applicable target companys most recently completed four fiscal quarters (which we refer to as the EV / EBITDA
multiple). Goldman Sachs calculated the implied value per share of Primo common stock by applying an illustrative range of EV / EBITDA multiples of 6.3x to 17.0x to Primos LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended September 30, 2019,
as provided in company filings, to derive a range of implied enterprise values, from which Goldman Sachs subtracted Primos net debt outstanding as of December 31, 2019 of $192 million, as provided by the management of Primo, to
derive a range of implied equity values. Goldman Sachs then divided the range of implied equity values by the number of diluted shares of Primo (41.441.8 million shares), as provided by the management of Primo, to derive a range of
implied values of $2.98 to $15.86 per share of Primo common stock. The illustrative range was selected by Goldman Sachs based on its professional judgment and experience, taking into consideration, among other things, the observed multiples for the
selected transactions.

By replacing the first sentence in the paragraph entitled Premia Analysis with the following:
|
Using publicly available information and Thomson Financial Securities data, Goldman Sachs reviewed and analyzed the
acquisition premia for 199 transactions announced during the time period from January 10, 2015 through January 10, 2020 involving a public company target based in the United States where stock accounted for more than 50% of the total
consideration and where the disclosed enterprise value for the target in the transaction was between $500 million and $5 billion.

By replacing the second paragraph under the heading Illustrative Present Value of Future Stock Price
Analysis for Shares of Primo Common Stock on a Pro Forma Basis with the following:
|
Goldman Sachs first derived a
range of theoretical enterprise values of Cott (after giving effect to the transactions), separately deriving such theoretical enterprise values to account for Cotts retention of S. & D. Coffee, Inc. (S&D) and Cotts
sale of S&D, as of December 31 for each of the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, by applying a range of enterprise value to next twelve months (NTM) Adjusted EBITDA multiples, or NTM Adj. EBITDA multiples, of 9.0x to 10.0x to estimates of
the Adjusted EBITDA for Cott for the following fiscal year (after giving effect to the transactions), based on the Forecasts, taking into account the Synergies. These illustrative multiple estimates were derived by Goldman Sachs utilizing its
professional judgment and experience, taking into account current and historical average NTM Adj. EBITDA multiples for Cott and Primo during the 1-year and 2-year
periods ended January 10, 2020. To derive a range of illustrative implied equity values for Cott on a pro forma basis, Goldman Sachs first calculated the estimated amount of Cotts pro forma net debt outstanding as of December 31,
2019, 2020 and 2021, based on the Forecasts and separately deriving such net debt to account for scenarios where Cott retained S&D, deriving $1.6 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion for 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively, and
where Cott sold S&D, deriving $1.2 billion,
