Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Announces Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

NEW YORK, April 11, 2018

On January 29, 2018, the Board caused the Company to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), under which the Company's shareholders stand to receive a $103.75 cash dividend per share, plus stock constituting 13% of the combined company.

The complaint alleges that the preliminary proxy statement (the "Proxy") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 8, 2018, violates Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act because it provides materially incomplete and misleading information about the Company and the Proposed Transaction, including information concerning the Company's financial projections and analysis, on which the Board relied to recommend the Proposed Merger as fair to DPSG shareholders.
