A recent internal review of our company’s financial position has revealed evidence of overstatement in the current and prior years, which requires deeper scrutiny. We have appointed independent accountants, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, to further investigate this matter and report fully to our Board on its findings. The investigation will last a number of weeks and we shall provide further details when it is concluded. In line with our corporate governance standards, we are informing all stakeholders immediately, including the stock market. Cadbury Nigeria will continue to operate and trade as usual. Cadbury Schweppes has confirmed its continued commitment to our company and we request the understanding and support of all other stakeholders at this time. Rt Hon. Uduimo J. Itsueli KSG, OON Chairman of the Board For enquiries, please call Kufre Ekanem, our Public Affairs Manager (+234 1 271 4912, + 234 802 7339372; kufre.ekanem@csplc.com)
