We have inherited and may be subject to various litigation claims and legal proceedings, including those relating to product liability and
label claims. For example, one of our subsidiaries is currently defending against a lawsuit originally filed against the entity formerly known as Nestlé Waters North America, Inc. (“Nestlé Waters”) arising from the sale and
marketing of our Poland Spring branded water. The lawsuit alleges common law fraud, violations of certain consumer protection laws in nine states and, for home and office customers, breach of contract. We believe the plaintiffs’ claims are
without merit, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously. For further information about the case, see “Business—Legal Proceedings” of this prospectus. This litigation may subject us to substantial costs and divert resources and the
attention of management from our business. Even if the claims do not result in protracted litigation or are resolved in our favor, the time and resources needed to resolve such claims could divert our management’s resources and adversely affect
our business. In addition, from time to time we are subject to litigation claims and legal proceedings relating to water rights. If we are subject to cease and desist orders from regulators regarding certain water sources and related operations,
such orders could be material to our business if our access to either is restricted or prohibited for any period of time.

We may
establish a reserve, as appropriate, based upon assessments and estimates in accordance with our accounting policies, and we have also asserted insurance claims where appropriate. We base our assessments,

estimates, and disclosures on the information available to us at the time, and rely on legal and management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses or any recoveries we may receive from insurance may
differ materially from assessments and estimates. Furthermore, actual settlements, judgments, or resolutions of these claims or proceedings may negatively affect our business and financial performance. A successful claim by a regulator that
prohibits our use of water from a water source or operations, or a successful claim against us or a settlement agreement that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of our available insurance limits could require us to make significant payments
and could result in our having to make changes to our business and operations, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We could be exposed to increased litigation and other liabilities as a result of the Transaction, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.

The Transaction and the integration of BlueTriton and Primo Water may subject the Company to liabilities that may have
