Investor and Analyst Day Presentation

Safe Harbor Statements Cott Forward Looking Statements: This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable Canadian securities laws conveying management's expectations as to the future based on plans, estimates and projections at the time the Company makes the statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and the Company cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements related to the anticipated timing of the completion of the recently announced agreement to acquire Crystal Rock Holdings, Inc. (the "Transaction") and the execution of our strategic priorities. The forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding management's current plans and estimates. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in this presentation include, among others: the satisfaction of the conditions to the Transaction and other risks related to the completion of the Transaction and actions related thereto; risks relating to any unforeseen changes to or effects on liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, indebtedness, financial condition, losses and future prospects; and the effect of economic, competitive, legal, governmental and technological factors on Cott's business. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures, including but not limited to risk factors contained in the Company's Annual Report in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic reports filed with the securities commissions. The Company does not, except as expressly required by applicable law, undertake to update or revise any of these statements in light of new information or future events. Non-GAAP Measures: The Company routinely supplements its reporting of GAAP measures by utilizing certain non-GAAP measures to separate the impact of certain items from its underlying business results. Since the Company uses these non-GAAP measures in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information, including on a pro forma basis, is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Cott's business. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
