Offer Letter Agreement with Thomas Harrington, dated August 1, 2018

Exhibit 10.2

August 1, 2018

Dear Tom:

I am very pleased to outline in this letter (the “Offer Letter”) the terms and conditions on which we are offering you the position of Chief Executive Officer of Cott Corporation (the “Company”). This Offer Letter will not constitute an agreement until it has been fully executed by both parties. Please note that this Offer Letter does not contemplate a contract or promise of employment for any specific term; you will be an at-will employee at all times.

1.    Position and Duties.

1.1.    Position. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you will be employed by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer and serve as a Director on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective as of December 30, 2018 (the “Employment Date”) and continuing until terminated by you or the Company.

1.2.    Responsibilities.

(a)    As the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, you will report to the Board and have such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to you from time to time by the Board.

(b)    You agree to devote substantially all of your business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and to discharging the responsibilities assigned to you. This shall not preclude you from (i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) managing your personal affairs, so long as these activities do not interfere with the performance of your duties and responsibilities as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

1.3.    No Employment Restriction. You hereby represent and covenant that, except as disclosed to the Company, your employment by the Company does not violate any agreement or covenant to which you are subject or by which you are bound and that there is no such agreement or covenant that could restrict or impair your ability to perform your duties or discharge your responsibilities to the Company.

2.    Remuneration.

2.1.    Base Salary. Your annual base salary will initially be at the rate of US $850,000 per year (“Annual Base Salary”), paid on a bi-weekly basis, prorated for any partial periods based on the actual number of days in the applicable period. Your performance will be evaluated at least annually, and any increase to the level of your Annual Base Salary will be determined as part of the regular annual review process.

2.2.    Bonus. You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan and may earn a bonus based upon the achievement of specified performance goals. The amount of your target bonus is 100% of your Annual Base Salary. The bonus year is the Company’s fiscal year. Currently the maximum potential payout permitted under the bonus plan is two (2) times the applicable target bonus for achievement of performance goals significantly in excess of the target goals, as established by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “HRCC”). Please note that the bonus plan is entirely discretionary, and the Company reserves in its absolute discretion the right to terminate or amend it or any other bonus plan that may be established.

2.3.    LTI Grant. You will be entitled to receive a long term incentive (“LTI”) award equivalent to US $2,300,000 comprised of stock options (37.5%), performance-based restricted share units (37.5%) and time-based restricted share units (25%), granted to you in December 2018 during the regularly scheduled LTI grant cycle. The stock options and time-based restricted share units will vest ratably in three equal annual installments from the grant date, and the performance-based restricted units will vest based upon the achievement of a specific level of cumulative pre-tax income over the three-year period ending at the end of fiscal 2021. The LTI award, including the vesting terms, will be governed by the terms of the Cott Corporation equity incentive plan under which the award is made (the “Equity Plan”) and your award agreement. You will be eligible for future LTI awards that will be based on your performance. Annual grants are issued following approval by the HRCC at its regularly scheduled meetings in December.

3.    Benefits.

3.1.    Benefit Programs. You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit programs generally available to other senior executives of the Company. Our benefit programs include our 401(k) plan and health, disability and life insurance benefits. Employee contributions are required for our benefit programs. You will continue to receive a cell phone in order to perform your employment obligations. The Company shall pay the monthly charges for the cell phone, according to its policy, as in effect from time to time.

3.2.    ESPP. In addition, you will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), through which you can purchase Company common shares at a discount through payroll deductions.

3.3.    Vacation. You will be entitled to four (4) weeks’ vacation per calendar year. You are encouraged to take vacation in the calendar year it is earned. All earned vacation must be taken by March 31st of the year following the year in which it is earned; otherwise it may be forfeited. If you should leave the Company, the value of any unearned vacation taken by you will be considered a debt to the Company. All vacation periods shall be subject to the oversight of the Board.

3.4.    Reimbursement. You will be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of your duties in accordance with the Company’s policies as established from time to time.

3.5.    Relocation. You will be provided with a relocation allowance of US $250,000, which must be used for costs incurred during your relocation to the Tampa, Florida area and will

be paid conditioned upon, and within 30 days after, your closing on a new residence in the Tampa, Florida area. As a condition of continued employment with the Company, you will be expected to complete your relocation to the Tampa, Florida area within the 12-month period following the Employment Date. In view of the amounts being provided to you in accordance with this Section 3.5, you will be required to repay the Company in full if, prior to the one-year anniversary of the Employment Date, you are terminated for Cause (as defined in the Severance and Non-Competition Plan, as defined below) or voluntarily resign your position without Good Reason (as defined in the Severance and Non-Competition Plan), and you will be required to repay the Company one-half of any relocation allowance received by you if you are terminated for Cause or voluntarily resign without Good Reason between the first and second anniversary of the Employment Date. Repayment of any amounts due by you to the Company shall be made to the Company on or before the 90th day after the date of resignation or termination.

3.6.    Allowances. You will receive an annual vehicle allowance in the amount of US $16,000 annually, which amount shall be prorated during any partial year of employment.

4.2.    Involuntary Termination. Upon the Employment Date, you shall be entitled to the benefits of and be bound by the obligations under the Severance and Non-Competition Plan (the “Severance and Non-Competition Plan”) (a copy of which is attached hereto) as a “Level 1 Employee”; provided that:

replaced by the surviving or successor entity, then (i) your unvested options will immediately become vested and exercisable, (ii) all of your unvested time-based and performance-based restricted share units will immediately vest, and (iii) any performance objectives applicable to awards will be deemed to have been satisfied at your “target” level of performance.

4.4.    Resignation. If you are a Director of the Company or a director or an officer of a company affiliated or related to the Company at the time of your termination, you will be deemed to have resigned all such positions, and you agree that upon termination you will execute such tenders of resignation as may be requested by the Company to evidence such resignations.
