<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On May 11, 2012, Peet&rsquo;s Coffee &amp; Tea, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
held its 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which the Company&rsquo;s shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company&rsquo;s
Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;), voted in favor of amending and restating the Company&rsquo;s Articles of Incorporation
(as amended and restated, the &ldquo;Articles&rdquo;). The Articles phase out the classification of the Board and provide instead
for the annual election of directors beginning at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Beginning with the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders in 2015, the declassification of the Board will be complete and all directors will be subject to annual election to
one-year terms. The Articles were filed with the Washington Secretary of State on May 11, 2012.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In connection with approving the Articles and recommending them
to the shareholders for approval at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Board approved amended and restated Bylaws of
the Company (as amended and restated, the &ldquo;Bylaws&rdquo;), which incorporate conforming changes to Article IV, Section&nbsp;16
and became effective upon the filing of the Articles with the Washington Secretary of State.</P>

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change In Fiscal Year
On May 11, 2012, Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. (the "Company")
held its 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which the Company's shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company's
Board of Directors (the "Board"), voted in favor of amending and restating the Company's Articles of Incorporation
(as amended and restated, the "Articles"). The Articles phase out the classification of the Board and provide instead
for the annual election of directors beginning at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Beginning with the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders in 2015, the declassification of the Board will be complete and all directors will be subject to annual election to
one-year terms. The Articles were filed with the Washington Secretary of State on May 11, 2012.
In connection with approving the Articles and recommending them
to the shareholders for approval at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Board approved amended and restated Bylaws of
the Company (as amended and restated, the "Bylaws"), which incorporate conforming changes to Article IV, Section 16
and became effective upon the filing of the Articles with the Washington Secretary of State.
The foregoing summary of the amendments reflected in the Articles
and Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles and Bylaws, which are
filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
