 associated increased costs and complexity. A successful integration will require focusing a substantial amount of resources and management attention to the integration process, which may divert resources and focus from the development and operation of regular business operations. Our business or results of operations could also be adversely affected by any issues attributable to operations that are based on events or actions that occurred before the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"). The integration process is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and no assurance can be given as to the realization of anticipated benefits in full or in part or, if realized, the timing of their realization. If integration is not managed successfully, we may experience interruptions in our business activities, deterioration in our associate and customer relationships, increased costs of integration, and harm to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may experience difficulties in combining corporate cultures, maintaining associate morale, and retaining key associates. There is no assurance that Primo Water’s and BlueTriton’s businesses will be successfully integrated in a timely manner. The challenges involved in the integration of Primo Water’s and BlueTriton’s businesses may include, among other things, the following: 

•challenges and difficulties associated with managing the larger, more complex, combined company;

•conforming standards, controls, procedures and policies, and compensation structures between the companies;

•retaining and integrating talent from the two companies, including key personnel and addressing uncertainties of their future, while maintaining focus on expanding and maintaining the business;

•coordinating operations, sales and marketing, and finance;

•consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures, accounting systems, information technology systems, resources, sourcing and procurement logistics with respect to key raw materials, and optimizing manufacturing locations; 

•integrating the workforces and systems of the two companies while maintaining focus on achieving our operating and strategic goals; 

•coordinating geographically overlapping organizations; 

•addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures, and management philosophies; 

•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses, delays, or regulatory conditions associated with the Transaction; 

•performance shortfalls within the business as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the Transaction and integrating the companies’ operations; 

•difficulties in delivering on our strategy, including the ability of the Transaction to accelerate growth in the combined business; 

•the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations about our prospects;

•geopolitical, macroeconomic, and industry
