Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially report Amcor plc's financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019. It includes the earnings press release and an investor presentation that management uses to communicate performance and outlook to investors.

The detailed financial and operational information is contained within the furnished exhibits: Exhibit 99.1 (Q1 FY2020 Earnings Press Release) and Exhibit 99.2 (Amcor plc Earnings Investor Presentation, First Quarter 2020). These documents are available on the company's website and were filed with the SEC as part of this 8-K.

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means the company is providing it to the SEC for public disclosure, but it does not carry the same legal liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act as formally 'filed' information. This means investors should be cautious about relying solely on this furnished information for legal claims unless it is later incorporated into a filing that is explicitly deemed 'filed'.

The company has included a cautionary statement about forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from management's expectations due to various risks and uncertainties. Investors are advised to review the 'Risk Factors' sections in Amcor's previous SEC filings (such as the Form S-4 and Form 10-K) and disclosures to the ASX for a comprehensive understanding of these potential risks.
