Pursuant to the SPA, the Amended SPA and the Plan of Reorganization, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2013. Mr. Roustam Tariko became the sole shareholder of CEDC. Further, Mr. Roustam Tariko has been appointed to CEDC’s Board of Directors as a non-Executive Chairman of the Board. Given that Mr. Roustam Tariko indirectly controls Roust Trading and Roust Trading directly controls Russian Standard Corporation (and indirectly controls other Russian Standard entities), all entities controlled by Mr. Tariko have become related parties of CEDC, including Russian Standard Bank, Russian Standard Corporation, Roust Inc., Russian Standard Vodka (USA), Inc., Russian Standard Vodka, Union Trust Story, F.LLI GANCIA & C. SpA.

As disclosed in Note 4, on May 7, 2012, the Company issued the RTL Notes, bearing on interest rate of 3% to Russian Standard Bank.

Pursuant to the terms of the RTL Credit Facility, $50 million RTL Notes were converted into a new term loan from Roust Trading to the Company. The RTL Credit Facility of $50 million is disclosed below in the table.

The outstanding balance of RTL Notes of $20.0 million was addressed through the Plan of Reorganization as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2013. Effective June 5, 2013 the outstanding balance of RTL Notes was fully eliminated.

Accrued interest on RTL Credit Facility and RTL Notes in the amount of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, is included in bank loans and other accrued liabilities, respectively, as of March 31, 2013.

Russian Standard Bank loan of $15.1 million was described in details in Note 4.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in transactions with entities controlled by Mr. Tariko (“Roust”) that resulted in recognition of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities by the Company. There were no significant transactions with the entities controlled by Mr. Tariko within the comparative quarter of prior year.
