In 2020, Meyers served as lead adviser to Cott Corp. on two substantial and marquee transactions. In January, the publicly traded beverage manufacturer acquired publicly traded Primo Water for $775 million, in which Meyers led a team of M&A, regulatory, corporate finance and antitrust attorneys. In February, Meyers represented Cott in its $405 million sale of subsidiary S&D Coffee & Tea. The tandem transactions were transformative for the client—following the closing of the Primo acquisition in March, Cott rebranded itself as Primo Water Corp., capping a strategic transformation over a multi-year arc driven by several key M&A deals managed by Meyers, including a $1.25 billion transaction in 2017. These examples highlight Meyers’s long-established relationship with this client, which dates to his first year as an associate. He serves as their principal U.S. securities counsel in addition to handling M&A matters.
