As previously announced, on January 1, 2020, Molson Coors Beverage Company (the “Company”) changed its management structure from a corporate center and four segments to two segments - North America and Europe. The Company’s international segment was reconstituted with the Africa and Asia Pacific businesses reporting into the Europe segment and the remaining International business reporting into the North America segment. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2020, the Company’s reporting segments include: North America, operating in the U.S., Canada and various countries in Latin and South America; and Europe, operating in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries, and certain countries within Africa and Asia Pacific.

The Company has recast the historical quarterly and annual presentation of segment information for 2019 as a result of these reporting segment changes accordingly and this information has been posted on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website (ir.molsoncoors.com).

Such information, including the information posted on the Company’s website, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
