Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

On September 9, 2014, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of DS Services Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Company’s management and after discussions with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2014 (the “Second Quarter 2014 Financial Statements”) included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Original Report”) the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2014 included an accounting error, should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. The Company is restating the Second Quarter 2014 Financial Statements and related disclosures presented in Part I, Item 1 of the Original Report and revising, where necessary, financial and related information in Part I, Item 2 of the Original Report through the filing of a Form 10-Q/A (the “Amended Report”) with the SEC concurrently herewith.

As further described in the Amended Report, it was determined that the Company had incorrectly classified a payment made in its fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2014 on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (the “Statement of Cash Flows”) included in the Second Quarter 2014 Financial Statements for the period December 28, 2013 to June 27, 2014, which payment was made in connection with the acquisition of the Company by an affiliate of Crestview Partners on August 30, 2014. This misclassification resulted in an understatement in the net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding understatement in the net cash used in investing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows included in the Amended Report has been restated to properly classify this payment as a cash flow from investing activities and certain other revisions have been made in the Amended Report to conform to such restatement. The restatement does not affect end of period cash and cash equivalents on the Statement of Cash Flows, nor does it affect the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) or Adjusted EBITDA as reported in the Original Report. The Amended Report also corrects certain other immaterial errors in connection with the restatement.
