D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753: Notification
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, July 5th, 2012 - D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753 N.V. notifies that today,
The Hillshire Brands Company - the US company, formerly known as Sara Lee
Corporation, from which D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753 spun off on Thursday June
28th 2012 - has filed a Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to the completion of the spin-off and the related
financial statement impacts.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of Hillshire Brands
adjusts the historical financial information to give effect to the spin-off. The
CoffeeCo financials in the Form 8-K include the results of the international
coffee and tea operations as well as various designated items as defined by the
Master Separation Agreement, which was filed on a Form 8-K dated June 15, 2012.
It is to be noted that the CoffeeCo financials contained in the aforementioned
Form 8-K may differ substantially from what D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753 would have
reported for the periods presented as the CoffeeCo financials in the
aforementioned Form 8-K:
a) are prepared in accordance with US GAAP instead of IFRS;
b) reflect the segmental performance of the international coffee and tea
operations as defined by Hillshire Brands instead of the performance on a stand-
alone basis of D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753;
c) reflect a different presentation within the income statement for certain
items like 'Financial income/(expense) related to pensions' and 'Mark-to-market
of currency derivatives on raw material purchase commitments';
d) are stated in US Dollar instead of Euro; and
e) are pro forma unaudited.
D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753 will publish its results for fiscal year 2012 on
Tuesday August 28th 2012 at 8:00 am CET.
