Key Points:

The suit asks the Court to validate Legion Partners’ nomination at the Company’s annual and special meeting of shareholders on May 3, 2023.

Legion Partners Asset Management, LLC, together with its affiliates (collectively, “we” or “Legion Partners”), is a significant shareholder of Primo Water Corporation (“Primo”, or the “Company”) (TSX/NYSE: PRMW).

Key Points:

Legion Partners Asset Management, LLC, together with its affiliates (collectively, “we” or “Legion Partners”), is a significant shareholder of Primo Water Corporation (“Primo”, or the “Company”) (TSX/NYSE: PRMW).
Primo is seeking to avoid being held accountable by distracting shareholders from the facts.
Yesterday morning, Primo’s legal counsel contacted Legion Partners and informed us of the Board’s plan to invalidate the nominations and publicize “embarrassing” information about Legion Partners’ candidates unless we revoked our nominations.
Legion Partners intends to vigorously pursue all avenues available to protect the rights of shareholders and ensure that they will have the opportunity to support Legion Partners’ slate of directors.”

Legion's Notice contains a number of omissions and misleading statements that are greatly concerning to Primo Water and render the Notice invalid.

Key Points:

Legion's Notice contains a number of omissions and misleading statements that are greatly concerning to Primo Water and render the Notice invalid.
The Legion candidate, Henrik Jelert, faced criminal charges, and two criminal trials, that carried a potential four-year prison sentence.
Together, these omissions and irreconcilable misrepresentations by Mr. Jelert, which were falsely conveyed as truthful disclosures by Legion, render Legion's Notice materially false and misleading and therefore invalid.
Because Legion has failed to deliver a proper notice in compliance with Primo Water's Bylaws, Legion is not entitled to nominate candidates for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.
