</div><p>This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect Pactiv Evergreen’s current views with respect to certain current and future events. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected timing of closing of the proposed transaction.

These statements are only predictions based on Pactiv Evergreen’s expectations and projections about future events as of the date of this press release and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may prove incorrect, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, among others, (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on the anticipated terms and timing, including the satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction; (ii) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against Pactiv Evergreen or its directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (iii) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction (including the ability of certain counterparties to terminate or amend contracts upon a change of control) will harm Pactiv Evergreen’s business, including current plans and operations, including during the pendency of the proposed transaction; (iv) the ability of Pactiv Evergreen to retain and hire key personnel; (v) the diversion of management’s time and attention from ordinary course business operations to completion of the proposed transaction and integration matters; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (vii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments; (viii) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect Pactiv Evergreen’s financial performance; (ix) certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact Pactiv Evergreen’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (x) the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (xi) the ability to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the proposed transaction; (xii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction; (xiii) the risk that Pactiv Evergreen’s stock price may decline significantly if the proposed transaction is not consummated; and (xiv) those risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Pactiv Evergreen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Pactiv Evergreen to predict all risks, nor can it assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement that Pactiv Evergreen makes. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
