Presentation

William A. Newlands - Constellation Brands, Inc. - President, CEO & Director

On a separate note, earlier today, we also announced that our Board of Directors has approved a proposal to eliminate our Class B common stock. After an extensive review and analysis by the special committee and with the special committee’s recommendation, our Board agreed that it is in the best interest of the Company and all Constellation shareholders to eliminate the Class B common stock.

Under the proposal, owners of our Class B common stock, which are primarily the Sands family, would convert those shares into Class A common stock and receive $64.64 per share in cash, which equates to a total amount of $1.5 billion. The transaction requires shareholder approval, including approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock not held by the Sands family or their affiliates, executive officers of the Company or directors that also hold Class B common stock.

One shareholder approval is received, we expect that the proposal would deliver a number of corporate governance and other benefits, including the elimination of the higher vote Class B common stock, including the associated voting control of the Sands family and a reduction in the concentration of voting power; a simplification of the company’s equity capital structure to better align the voting rights and interests of all shareholders; a broader appeal of our shares to a larger base of investors who prefer single voting class common stock structures; operating cost savings associated with executive salary and certain benefits as well as administrative savings from maintaining the Class B common stock.

We expect the executive salary and benefits cost savings will be about $15 to $20 million per year. Using the $17.5 million midpoint of that cost savings range and our current trading multiple of approximately 21x P/E. That equates to roughly $300 million of value on a tax-effective basis. Other corporate governance benefits include a rotation of the lead independent director position on the Board at the next available normal cycle opportunity. And finally, a shift to majority voting in uncontested elections from the current plurality standard for our Board of Directors and the adoption of a Board anti-pledging policy.

We will be seeking the approval of shareholders at a special meeting, and a proxy statement, including all details of the proposal will be available ahead of that special meeting. In the meantime, the announcement we made this morning related to the proposal can be found on our company website, cbrands.com. And at this point, we will be unable to comment further or provide additional information on the proposal during today’s call beyond what is available in that announcement.

Questions and Answers

Q. Bryan Spillane - BofA Securities, Research Division

Just two questions for me. One is as we think about the — assuming that the shareholder proposal gets approved and there’s the $1.5 billion outlay, how would we finance that? And are there any offsets to offset the incremental cost of financing? And then second is just as we think about the incremental — the accelerated investment in digital, should we think about that as being part of the kind of the cost base going forward? So is it a multiyear investment? Or you’re just having a good year and you figured you’d spend — you’d sort of pull forward some of the expenses. So really those 2 things, how we think about offsetting the incremental cost, I guess, of the $1.5 billion; and then how to think about the digital investments.

A. Garth Hankinson - Constellation Brands, Inc. - Executive VP & CFO

Yes. Thanks, Bryan. So I’ll take those in that order. First, on the funding of the $1.5 billion. First of all, we’re in a very enviable position given the strength of our balance sheet and given our investment-grade rating. We’re — obviously, given the timing of this proposal, we’re still thinking through exactly how we’re going to fund the $1.5 billion. But it likely will include some new dent. It may or may not include some of our existing debt that we have available to us under the revolver. So there will be more to come on that as we move forward.

That being said, whatever we do, we do remain committed to our investment-grade rating, and we intend to remain within our targeted leverage range and can do so as we support this commitment.

On the digital business acceleration cost, so — this is — this will be a multiyear program that’s in place. What the spend will be in future years — we will work on that as we move through this year and into next. But this is not a pull-forward per se. This will be incremental investment, and so you’ll see more about that, as I said, as we move through this year and into next.
