Item 9B. Other Information
On November 15, 2013, Starbucks entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit
Agreement”) dated February 5, 2013 with Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender
and L/C Issuer and each of the other Lenders a party thereto.
The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to exclude the impact of the litigation matter involving Kraft Foods Global,
Inc., including but not limited to, the impact of fees, charges, reserves, costs or expenses related to the matter in an amount up
to $2.9 billion commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 29, 2013 and through and including all fiscal quarters
ending on or before December 31, 2014. Starbucks previously disclosed that the arbitrator assigned to the matter has ordered
Starbucks to pay Kraft $2.23 billion in damages plus prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees (the "Award"). Starbucks has
estimated prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees to be approximately $557 million.
A copy of the Amendment is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.23 and is incorporated herein by reference as though it were
fully set forth herein. The description above is a summary of the Amendment, does not provide a complete description of the
Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Amendment itself.
