Explanatory Note

On November 8, 2024, Primo Brands Corporation (formerly known as Triton US HoldCo, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Primo Brands”, or the “Company”), consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 2024, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of October 1, 2024 (as amended, the “Arrangement Agreement”), by and among Primo Water Corporation, a company existing under the laws of Ontario (“Primo Water”), Triton Water Parent, Inc., formerly a Delaware corporation (“BlueTriton”), the Company, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlueTriton, Triton Merger Sub 1, Inc., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and 1000922661 Ontario Inc., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Amalgamation Sub”). As contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement: (i) Amalgamation Sub, by way of a court-approved statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Primo Water (other than any such shares held by Amalgamation Sub or any of its affiliates) (“Primo Shares”) in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Primo Brands (the “Class A common stock”) on a 1:1 basis, resulting in Primo Water securityholders holding shares of Class A common stock representing approximately 43% of the Fully Diluted Shares (as defined herein), followed immediately by an amalgamation of Primo Water and Amalgamation Sub, with the resulting amalgamated entity, named “Primo Water Corporation,” becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primo Brands (the “Arrangement”); (ii) immediately following the Arrangement, Merger Sub was merged with and into BlueTriton (the “Merger”), with BlueTriton surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primo Brands; (iii) immediately following the Merger, and as part of one integrated transaction with the Merger, BlueTriton, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, was merged with and into Primo Brands (the “Subsequent Merger” and, together with the Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the Arrangement, the “Transaction”), with Primo Brands being the surviving corporation in the Subsequent Merger; (iv) in connection with the Subsequent Merger, each share of common stock of BlueTriton issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares cancelled in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement) were converted into shares of Class A common stock or shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Primo Brands (the “Class B common stock”) such that Triton Water Parent Holdings, LP, the prior stockholder of BlueTriton and its affiliates (the "Sponsor Stockholder") hold shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock (collectively, the “Shares”) representing approximately 57% of the Fully Diluted Shares; and (v) as a result of the Transaction, Primo Water and Triton Water Intermediate, Inc., ("Intermediate Holdings") previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlueTriton, became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, each option, whether vested or unvested (each, a “Primo Option”), to acquire Primo Shares granted pursuant to Primo Water’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan or Amended and Restated Primo Water Corporation Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, and each as amended prior to the Transaction, the “Primo Stock Plans”) or otherwise, which was outstanding immediately prior to the Transaction, was automatically converted into, and thereafter evidences, an option to acquire Class A common stock in an amount equal to the number of Primo Shares previously underlying such Primo Option (each, a “Primo Brands Replacement Option”) at an exercise price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the Primo Option.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, each restricted stock unit, whether vested or unvested, with respect to Primo Shares subject to time-based vesting granted pursuant to the Primo Stock Plans or otherwise (each, a “Primo RSU”), which was outstanding immediately prior to the Transaction, was automatically assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit award to acquire Class A common stock in an amount equal to the number of Primo Shares previously underlying such Primo RSU (each, a “Primo Brands Replacement RSU”). Each such Primo Brands Replacement RSU so assumed and converted continues to have, and is subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Primo RSU immediately prior to the Transaction.

Each restricted stock unit, whether vested or unvested, with respect to Primo Shares subject to performance-based vesting granted pursuant to the Primo Stock Plans or otherwise (each, a “Primo PSU” and, together with Primo Options, Primo RSUs, and other equity interests granted as compensation or otherwise in respect of service, whether or not granted pursuant to the Primo Stock Plans, collectively, the “Primo Equity Awards”), which was outstanding immediately prior to the Transaction, was automatically assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit award to acquire Class A common stock in an amount equal to the number of Primo Shares previously underlying such Primo PSU based on Primo Water's estimated performance for the performance period to date (each, a “Primo Brands Conversion RSU” and, together with the Primo Brands Replacement Options and Primo Brands Replacement RSUs, the “Primo Brands Replacement Awards”). Each such Primo Brands Conversion RSU has a time-based vesting period equal to the remaining performance period of such Primo PSU prior to the Transaction.

As used herein, “Fully Diluted Shares” refers to the sum of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock issued and outstanding, if any, plus (ii) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable in respect of any equity interests of the Company, including with respect to Primo Brands Replacement Options, Primo Brands Replacement RSUs, and Primo Brands Conversion RSUs, in each case, that were outstanding or deemed

outstanding at the time of the Transaction (and assuming the vesting in full of any of the foregoing subject to vesting or similar conditions).

On November 8, 2024, the Company became the successor issuer to Primo Water pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(e) under the Exchange Act, the Class A common stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations. On November 11, 2024, the Company’s Class A common stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol “PRMB”.
