EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 10-K/A is filed as Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 15, 2011. This Form 10-K/A is filed solely to reflect the resolution of comments received by us from the Staff of the Commission with respect to our application for confidential treatment of our Supply Agreement with Crown Cork & Seal USA, Inc., executed December 21, 2010 and effective as of January 1, 2011 (the “Supply Agreement”), and our Termination of Supply Agreement and Release with Crown Cork & Seal USA, Inc., dated as of December 31, 2010 (the “Termination Agreement”). We have amended Exhibits 10.34 and 10.35 to include the portions of the Supply Agreement and the Termination Agreement for which we are no longer seeking confidential treatment. Exhibits 10.34 and 10.35, as redacted, and Item 15(a)(3) of Part IV are being refiled in their entirety. We have not been requested to, and we are not, restating our financial results; this Form 10-K/A does not change our previously reported consolidated financial statements or make any other changes to the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. Only Exhibits 10.34 and 10.35 and Item 15(a)(3) of Part IV have been amended, and this amended report does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-K or modify or update those disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the resolution of the comments received from the Staff of the Commission with respect to our application for confidential treatment. The filing of this Form 10-K/A shall not be deemed an admission that the original Form 10-K, when filed, knowingly included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading. This Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our subsequent filings with the Commission.
