These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘outlook’’, ‘‘guidance’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘target’’ and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding the future financial position and results, the CCH Group’s outlook for 2013 and future years, business strategy and the effects of the global economic slowdown, the impact of the sovereign debt crisis, currency volatility, the CCH Group’s recent acquisitions, and restructuring initiatives on the CCH Group’s business and financial condition, the CCH Group’s future dealings with The Coca-Cola Company, budgets, projected levels of consumption and production, projected raw material and other costs, estimates of capital expenditure and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they reflect the CCH Group’s current expectations and assumptions as to future events and circumstances that may not prove accurate. The CCH Group’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described under Item 3, ‘‘Key Information—Risk Factors’’ included elsewhere in this annual report. Although the CCH Group believes that, as of the date of this annual report, the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the CCH Group cannot assure you that the CCH Group’s future results, level of activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectations. Moreover, neither the CCH Group nor its directors, employees, advisors, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. After the date of this annual report, unless the CCH Group is required by law to update these forward-looking statements, the CCH Group will not necessarily update any of these forward-looking statements to conform them either to actual results or to changes in the CCH Group’s expectations. 3 PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION The CCH Group’s financial year is
