(“JAB”), certain of its affiliates and certain co-investors, in connection with its acquisition of Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (“Keurig”). The financing consists of a $3.075 billion term loan A facility, $1.875 billion and €842 million term loan B facilities and a $500 million revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate and other purposes.

Keurig, known for its single-serve coffee brewing systems and beverage products, is a personal beverage system company. JAB is a privately held group focused on investments in companies with premium brands in the consumer goods category.
