SABMiller Canada Proceeds to Trial to Defend Its Termination Rights w/Molson

From SAB Miller:

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(June 20, 2013/mbb/) - Miller Brewing Company, a subsidiary of SABMiller plc, is disappointed with today's interim Court decision granting a temporary injunction to Molson Coors Canada which prevents Miller from terminating its Canadian License Agreement before a trial scheduled for December. Miller remains confident in its position ahead of the December Court date.

"While we respect the decision, Miller Brewing Company looks forward to proceeding to trial, presently set for December 2013," said Stephen Rogers, Legal Counsel for Miller Brewing Company. "We remain firm in our expectation that the Court will agree that we adhered to the terms of our Canadian Licence Agreement when we exercised our right to terminate."

According to Paul Gurr, Managing Director - Canada, "Canadian fans of Miller trademark brands can rest assured that SABMiller remains committed to the Canadian marketplace. In the interim, we will continue to prepare for a seamless transition following termination of the agreement, pending a successful trial decision - one that ensures Miller Brewing Company's ability to better serve Canadian retailers and consumers' beer preferences, choices and occasions in the future."
