ITEM 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure
Effective October 3, 2003, Adolph Coors Company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware. The change in the company’s state of incorporation was approved by its shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders held on October 3, 2003.
The reincorporation in the State of Delaware was accomplished by the merger of the company with and into Adolph Coors Company, a Delaware corporation (“Coors”), its wholly owned subsidiary, which was the surviving corporation in the merger. The reincorporation will not result in any change in the company’s name, headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of offices or facilities, number of employees, taxes payable to the State of Colorado, assets, liabilities or net worth. The company’s Class B common
stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RKY. Shareholders will not be required to undertake a mandatory exchange of the company’s shares. Certificates for the company’s shares automatically represent an equal number of shares of Coors.
On October 3, 2003, Adolph Coors Company issued the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the effectiveness of the reincorporation.
