Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 11, 2025, Amcor plc (“Amcor”) issued a press release announcing that it will proceed with the 1-for-5 reverse stock split previously approved by Amcor shareholders at its annual general meeting of shareholders held on November 6, 2025. Amcor expects to file an amendment to its memorandum of association to effect the reverse stock split on January 14, 2026, and Amcor ordinary shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on January 15, 2026. Amcor’s CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) will also be consolidated on a 1-for-5 basis such that one CDI continues to represent an interest in one Amcor ordinary share following the reverse stock split.

When the reverse stock split is effective, every five ordinary shares of Amcor issued and outstanding or held as treasury shares as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one Amcor ordinary share. This will reduce the number of outstanding ordinary shares from approximately 2.3 billion to approximately 461 million. Concurrently with the reverse stock split, Amcor’s amended memorandum of association will also proportionately reduce the number of Amcor’s ordinary shares authorized for issuance and increase the par value of Amcor’s ordinary shares to $0.05 per share. Additionally, the amended memorandum of association will proportionately reduce the number of Amcor’s authorized and unissued preferred shares and increase the par value of Amcor’s preferred shares to $0.05 per share for consistency with the changes to ordinary shares; there are no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders of record otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares. Unvested Amcor equity-based awards as issued under Amcor incentive plans will be proportionately adjusted.

Amcor ordinary shares will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange (under the symbol “AMCR”), but will trade under a new CUSIP number. CDIs will continue to trade on the Australian Stock Exchange (under the symbol “AMC”).

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in Amcor’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2025.
