Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On September 14, 2010, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of LJVH Holdings Inc., a British Columbia, Canada corporation (“Van Houtte”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of C$915 million (the “Purchase Price”), pursuant to a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, SSR Acquisition Corp., a New Brunswick, Canada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), LJVH S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company, Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.), a Québec, Canada pension fund, the individual shareholders and optionholders of Van Houtte (collectively, the “Sellers”) and LJ Coffee Agent, LLC, as sellers agent (“Agent”).

The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment based on Van Houtte’s working capital, net indebtedness and pre-closing taxes as of immediately prior to the transaction’s closing.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary closing conditions, including obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States and Canada.

The Purchase Agreement also contains indemnification obligations of the Company and Acquisition Sub, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, subject to certain limitations. In addition, if the Company and Acquisition Sub breached their obligation to close the transaction, the Sellers’ remedy would be limited to the entitlement to receive a reverse break-up fee of C$91.5 million.

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by either the Company and Acquisition Sub or the Sellers under certain circumstances, including if the closing does not occur by December 31, 2010. However, if the closing does not occur on or prior to December 31, 2010 as a result of regulatory approvals having not been obtained by that date, the termination date will be extended to March 31, 2011. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of failure to obtain regulatory approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or the Competition Act (Canada), as amended, the Company will be obligated to pay a termination fee to the Sellers of C$36.6 million if the termination occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010, and C$45.75 million if the termination occurs after December 31, 2010.

The Company intends to fund the Purchase Price, and to refinance its existing indebtedness, through a combination of cash on hand and a new US$1.35 billion senior secured credit facility.

A copy of the press release issued on September 14, 2010 announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
