IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. Introduction

The contents of this Circular should not be construed as legal, business or tax advice. Each Shareholder should consult their own legal, financial or tax adviser for legal, financial or tax advice. In making a decision in relation to the matters set out in this Circular. Each Shareholder must rely on their own examination, analysis and enquiry of Coca-Cola HBC and the terms of the Resolutions, including the merits and risks involved.

2. Overseas Shareholders

Neither the existing Shares nor the New Purchase Consideration Shares nor any New Option Consideration Shares have been, nor will be, registered under the applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom. Accordingly, the Shares may not be offered, sold, delivered or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in, into or from any such jurisdiction, or to, or for, the account or benefit of citizens or residents of any such jurisdiction, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, applicable securities laws of those jurisdictions or as otherwise permitted under the applicable securities laws of those jurisdictions.

No action has been taken by Coca-Cola HBC or any person to obtain any approval, authorisation or exemption to permit the allotment or issue of the New Purchase Consideration Shares or any New Option Consideration Shares or the possession or distribution of this Circular from any regulatory authority in any jurisdiction.

Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or who are subject to the laws and/or regulations of another jurisdiction should inform themselves of, and should observe, any applicable requirements.

It is the responsibility of each person into whose possession this Circular comes to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the distribution of this Circular. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Coca-Cola HBC, the Directors and all other persons involved in the preparation of this Circular disclaim any responsibility or liability for the failure to satisfy any such laws, regulations or requirements by any person.

3. Forward-looking Statements

This Circular contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as 'believe', 'outlook', 'guidance', 'intend', 'expect', 'anticipate', 'plan', 'target' and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding completion of the Acquisition, the financial effects of the Acquisition, business strategy for Coca-Cola HBC and for CCBA (post Completion), future dealings with TCCC, budgets, projected levels of consumption and production, projected raw material and other costs, estimates of capital expenditure, free cash flow, effective tax rates and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they reflect current expectations and assumptions as to future events and circumstances that may not prove accurate. Coca-Cola HBC's actual results and events could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risk factors described in Part II (Risk Factors) of this Circular.

Although Coca-Cola HBC believes that, as of the date of this Circular, the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that future results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Coca-Cola HBC or CCBA will meet these expectations. Moreover, neither Coca-Cola HBC, nor its directors, employees, advisors nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Save as required by law or regulation or the rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority to update these forward-looking statements, Coca-Cola HBC will not necessarily update any of these forward-looking statements to conform them either to actual results or to changes in expectations. No statement in this Circular is intended to be a profit forecast.

4. No Offer of Securities

This Circular does not constitute or form part of any offer of any securities or any solicitation or invitation with respect to the purchase of securities nor does it constitute an advertisement for an offer or issue of any securities or proposed issue of any securities, including the New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued in connection with the GFI Acquisition. In particular, the New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued in connection with the GFI Acquisition have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold in the US absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act.

This Circular is not intended to constitute an offer or solicitation to purchase or invest in the Shares, including the New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued in connection with the GFI Acquisition. The Shares, including the New Purchase Consideration Shares, may not be publicly offered, directly or indirectly, in Switzerland within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Services Act ("FinSA") and no application has or will be made to admit the Shares, including the New Purchase Consideration Shares, to trading on any trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland. Neither this Circular nor any other offering or marketing material relating to the Shares, including the New Purchase Consideration Shares, constitutes a prospectus pursuant to the FinSA, and neither this Circular nor any other offering or marketing material relating to the Shares, including the New Purchase Consideration Shares, may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland.

6. Presentation of Financial and Other Information

6.1 Financial Information for CCBA

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information relating to CCBA in this Circular has been extracted without material adjustment from the audited consolidated financial statements of CCBA for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The audited consolidated financial statements of CCBA for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 of South Africa, as amended, and audited by Ernst & Young Inc.

Net sales revenue, operating profit (EBIT), EBITDA, profit before taxation (PBT), total assets and net debt for CCBA have been extracted from audited consolidated financial statements of CCBA for the relevant periods or dates indicated and have been adjusted to exclude Ghana, which is outside of the Acquisition perimeter following its disposal by CCBA which completed on 25 July 2025. The exclusion of Ghana for net sales revenue, EBIT, EBITDA and PBT is based on unaudited Ghana management information in US\$ and adding back stranded costs which would remain in the CCBA group following the exclusion of Ghana. The exclusion of Ghana for total assets and net debt is based on the audited financial statements of Voltic GH Limited and applying a GHS:US\$ exchange rate for the relevant period.

Three year currency neutral revenue CAGR for CCBA is calculated based on: (i) net sales revenue from CCBA unaudited management information for each country in US\$ translated into local currency using respective average currency exchange rates by country in each period and then rebasing to a constant 2024 average currency exchange rate across the three year period; and (ii) CAGR is calculated using the rebased illustrative net sales revenue if 2024 exchange rates were held constant.

6.2 Sources of Financial and Other Information

Pro forma 2024 volumes are calculated by aggregating Coca-Cola HBC standalone volumes and CCBA volumes (excluding Ghana). Pro forma 2024 revenues and EBIT are calculated by aggregating net sales revenues and comparable EBIT for Coca-Cola HBC on a standalone basis for the year ended 31 December 2024 with net sales revenues and EBIT for CCBA (excluding Ghana) converted to Euros for the year ended 31 December 2024. Net sales revenue for Coca-Cola HBC is extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of Coca-Cola HBC for the year ended 31 December 2024 and for a description of unaudited comparable EBIT for Coca-Cola HBC see pages 345 to 347 of 2024 Coca-Cola HBC integrated annual report. For a description of net sales revenue and EBIT for CCBA excluding Ghana see above.

Volume represents reported volumes for each of Coca-Cola HBC and CCBA and is measured in unit cases. One unit case corresponds to approximately 5.678 litres or 24 servings, being a typically used measure of volume. Volume data is derived from unaudited operational data.

7. Market and Industry Data

Certain information in this Circular has been sourced from third parties. Where information in this Circular has been sourced from third parties, the source of such information has been clearly stated adjacent to the reproduced information.

All information contained in this Circular which has been sourced from third parties has been accurately reproduced and, as far as Coca-Cola HBC is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by the relevant third party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.

All references to market data, industry statistics and forecasts and other information in this Circular consist of estimates based on data and reports compiled by industry professionals, organisations, analysts, publicly available information or Coca-Cola HBC's own knowledge of its sales and markets.

Market data and statistics are inherently speculative and are not necessarily reflective of actual market conditions. Such statistics are based on market research, which itself is based on sampling and subjective judgements by both the researchers and the respondents, including judgements about what types of products and transactions should be included in the relevant market. In addition, the value of comparisons of statistics for different markets is limited by many factors, including that: the markets may be defined differently; the underlying information may be gathered by different methods; and different assumptions may be applied in compiling the data. Accordingly, the market statistics included in this Circular should be viewed with caution.

8. No Incorporation of Website Information

None of the contents of Coca-Cola HBC's website at https://www.coca-colahellenic.com, CCBA's website at https://www.ccbagroup.com nor the contents of any website accessible from hyperlinks on such website, is incorporated into, or forms part of, this Circular and Shareholders should not rely on such content.

9. Rounding

Certain figures and percentages presented in this Circular have been rounded. As a result of such rounding, the totals of figures presented in this Circular may vary slightly from the actual arithmetic totals of such figures and so percentages in tables may not add up to 100 per cent.

10. Currencies

Coca-Cola HBC presents its audited consolidated financial statements in Euros ("") and CCBA presents its audited consolidated financial statements in United States dollars ("US\$").

11. Time

All times shown in this Circular are Central European Time ("CET"), unless stated otherwise.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE

The following indicative timetable is based on Coca-Cola HBC's current expectations for the Extraordinary General Meeting and is subject to change. Each of the times and dates in the below expected timetable may be extended or brought forward without prior notice. In particular, the date of completion of the Acquisition pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Completion") is indicative only and subject to change, and will depend on, among other things, the satisfaction of the Conditions to the Acquisition.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting Proposed adoption of new Articles

Dear Shareholder

1. Introduction

On 21 October 2025, Coca-Cola HBC announced it had entered into a definitive sale and purchase agreement (the "Sale and Purchase Agreement") to acquire a 75 per cent. shareholding in CCBA from The Coca-Cola Company ("The Coca-Cola Company" or "TCCC") and Gutsche Family Investments Pty Ltd ("GFI") for a combined purchase price of US\$2.6 billion (together, the "Acquisition"), implying an equity value for 100 per cent. of CCBA of US\$3.4 billion at the time of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement. In addition, Coca-Cola HBC and TCCC have agreed to enter into an option agreement enabling Coca-Cola HBC to purchase, or TCCC to sell, the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA still owned by TCCC following Completion.

CCBA operates in 14 markets across Africa, representing approximately 40 per cent. of all Coca-Cola system volumes sold across the continent. The Acquisition materially expands Coca-Cola HBC's existing African presence, driving further scale and diversification in high growth markets with compelling long-term demographics, and unlocks opportunities for growth.

The Acquisition is being funded through a new bridge financing facility to cover the cash consideration and Coca-Cola HBC shares issued to GFI representing 5.47 per cent. of Coca-Cola HBC's enlarged issued and outstanding share capital immediately following Completion (assuming that no Shares other than New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued prior to or at Completion).

In addition, in connection with the Acquisition, Coca-Cola HBC has agreed the terms of a shareholders' agreement with Coca-Cola HBC Grouping Inc. (the "TCCC Shareholder"), a whollyowned subsidiary of TCCC, and Kar-Tess Holding to be entered into at Completion to regulate certain aspects of Coca-Cola HBC's governance post-Completion (the "Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement").

As announced on 21 October 2025, certain matters in the context of the transaction must be approved by the Shareholders. To give effect to the Acquisition, Coca-Cola HBC must be able to issue new Coca-Cola HBC shares and also seeks the flexibility to use a certain number of Coca-Cola HBC shares held in treasury. Coca-Cola HBC also seeks the flexibility to issue new Coca-Cola HBC shares and/or use a certain number of Coca-Cola HBC shares held in treasury in connection with the CCBA Option. Furthermore, certain amendments need to be made to the Coca-Cola HBC articles of association (the "Articles") to give effect to the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement.

Accordingly, Coca-Cola HBC has convened the Extraordinary General Meeting for 9:30 a.m. CET (8:30 a.m. GMT) on 19 January 2026 at the head office of Coca-Cola HBC at Turmstrasse 26, 6312 Steinhausen, Switzerland. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve resolutions to approve certain amendments to the Articles as summarised below:

  • the introduction of a capital band provision in a new art. 6a in the Articles to authorise the Board to increase Coca-Cola HBC's share capital once or several times up to a maximum amount of CHF 2,744,255,351.70 until 19 January 2031 by issuing: (i) up to 21,027,676 new shares in Coca-Cola HBC ("New Purchase Consideration Shares") to GFI against the contribution in kind of a maximum of 1,416,323 CCBA B ordinary shares in connection with the implementation of the GFI Acquisition; and (ii) up to 15,323,113 new shares in Coca-Cola HBC ("New Option Consideration Shares") to European Refreshments Unlimited Company ("TCCC-1") against the contribution in kind of a maximum of 1,386,020 CCBA E ordinary shares in connection with the implementation of the CCBA Option, in respect of which the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders are excluded, as further detailed in paragraph 11.3.1 of this Part I;
  • the introduction of a new art. 10a in the Articles to permit the use and transfer of a maximum of, in total, 6,301,533 existing Coca-Cola HBC shares held in treasury (the "Treasury Consideration Shares") as follows: (i) a maximum of 6,301,533 Treasury Consideration Shares to GFI in exchange for a maximum of 1,416,323 CCBA B ordinary shares in connection with the implementation of the GFI Acquisition; and (ii) a maximum of all Treasury Consideration Shares that have not been used and transferred to GFI in connection with Completion in exchange for a maximum of 1,386,020 CCBA E ordinary shares in connection with the implementation of the CCBA Option, in respect of which the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders are excluded, as further detailed in paragraph 11.3.2 of this Part I; and
  • the amendment of art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles and the introduction of new art. 28 para. 2bis, art. 28 para. 2ter and art. 29bis in the Articles for the purpose of effecting certain governance related changes in line with the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement with effect upon Completion, as further detailed in paragraph 11.3.3 of this Part I,

together, the "Resolutions". Further details of the Resolutions, including the explanations of the Board for the Resolutions, are set out in paragraph 11.2 of this Part I.

The Resolutions and corresponding amendments to the Articles are inter-conditional, such that Coca-Cola HBC will be unable to complete the Acquisition if any of the Resolutions are not approved.

I am writing to you to give further details of the Resolutions, including the background to and rationale for the Acquisition, and to explain why the Board considers the Resolutions to be in the best interests of Coca-Cola HBC and Shareholders as a whole. The Board unanimously (except for recusals of members of the Board due to conflict of interests) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and the Directors who hold Shares intend to do so in respect of their own direct beneficial holdings.

The Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting is set out in the Appendix (Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting) to this Circular.

2. Background to and reasons for the Acquisition

2.1 Background to the Acquisition

Coca-Cola HBC and CCBA are both part of The Coca-Cola Company system, engaged in the preparation, packaging, distribution and sale of an extensive range of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink ("NARTD") beverages.

Having established operations in other African markets, namely Nigeria and Egypt, Coca-Cola HBC will expand its exposure to additional attractive geographies, underpinned by strong market fundamentals which will ensure its longevity of growth.

Coca-Cola HBC will bring its knowledge and apply its proven formula and a clear strategic vision for long-term growth in Africa, with a view to accelerating innovation and investment.

2.2 Strategic rationale for the Acquisition

Materially expands Coca-Cola HBC's existing African presence

CCBA will add 14 African markets in addition to Coca-Cola HBC's business in Nigeria since 1951 and Egypt since 2022. Following Completion, Coca-Cola HBC will represent two-thirds of Africa's total Coca-Cola system volume 1 and cover over 50 per cent. 2 of the continent's population, solidifying Coca-Cola HBC's long-term commitment to Africa, a key driver of future growth. CCBA's top five markets are South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Mozambique, and account for 88 per cent. of total volume, with South Africa CCBA's largest market, accounting for 60 per cent. of total volume. The Acquisition will create the second largest Coca-Cola authorised bottler by volume globally3, with pro forma 2024 volumes of 4.0 billion unit cases, revenues of €14.1 billion and EBIT of €1.4 billion4 and the Directors believe that Africa's large and growing consumer base will continue to be a driver of future growth.

Drives further diversification of Coca-Cola HBC's geographic footprint, with increased exposure to high growth markets

CCBA's markets have compelling demographics and macroeconomic prospects, including growing populations and economies, with significant potential to grow per capita consumption. With Africa's population expected to grow by 2 per cent. per annum up to 20505, and over 60 per cent. of the population in CCBA's markets aged under 306, these markets offer significant potential for consumer recruitment and growth in per capita consumption.

Consistent with the pillars of Coca-Cola HBC's growth strategy and vision of being the leading 24/7 beverage partner

CCBA is a leading player in the NARTD category across its key markets, with a strong position across iconic global brands and relevant local brands. CCBA's two largest categories are Sparkling Soft Drinks and Water, which account for 81 per cent. and 9 per cent. of total volumes respectively. CCBA has a strong track record of growth, with three-year volume CAGR of 4.5 per cent. and currency neutral revenue CAGR of 12.6 per cent. 7 and has a deep commitment to investing in talent, sustainability and the communities it operates in.

Clear opportunity to leverage Coca-Cola HBC's expertise in emerging markets

Coca-Cola HBC has a proven track record of operating in Africa, with long-term growth in Nigeria and a successful integration of Egypt, which adds to CCBA's significant experience in the continent. The Acquisition will create a platform for Coca-Cola HBC to:

1 Source: Company information; 2024 total CCBA reported volumes combined with 2024 Coca-Cola HBC reported volumes in Nigeria and Egypt, divided by total Coca-Cola system volumes in Africa.

2 Source: United Nations World Population Prospects (2024); 2024 total population of CCBA countries combined with Nigeria and Egypt, as a percentage of total Africa population.

  • share expertise and learnings from a long-term presence in Nigeria and the recent integration of Egypt;
  • share best practices, leveraging CCBA's significant experience in Africa, and strong management teams, combining local knowledge with global insights;
  • roll-out Coca-Cola HBC's bespoke capabilities, including revenue growth management opportunities, route-to-market improvements, and digital and data tools; and
  • invest in CCBA to drive growth, in a relationship with TCCC.

Further strengthens Coca-Cola HBC's long-term strategic relationship with The Coca-Cola Company

TCCC and Coca-Cola HBC have a longstanding relationship, and the Acquisition is intended to continue to create value for all stakeholders for the long-term.

Reflects Coca-Cola HBC's commitment to Africa

The Acquisition reflects Coca-Cola HBC's aspiration to grow sustainably in Africa and create value for all stakeholders. Coca-Cola HBC is committed to serving local communities through local operations and local distribution, and to work closely with local suppliers.

At the heart of Coca-Cola HBC's success is the strength of its talented team, and it is dedicated to cultivating local talent by accelerating capability building to fuel growth. Consistently ranked as the world's most sustainable beverage company by the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices, Coca-Cola HBC is one of the founding members, together with TCCC, CCBA and others, of The Coca-Cola System's Africa Water Stewardship Initiative. The system effort aims to invest nearly US\$25 million by 2030 to support water solutions across 20 African countries.

The Acquisition materially enhances Coca-Cola HBC's presence in Africa. Coca-Cola HBC will underpin its commitment to the continent, including South Africa, through seeking a secondary listing of Coca-Cola HBC shares on the JSE at or around Completion.

3. Summary of the Acquisition

3.1 Overview of the Acquisition

On 21 October 2025, Coca-Cola HBC agreed to acquire a 75 per cent. equity interest in CCBA, comprising: (i) the acquisition of a 41.52 per cent. equity interest in CCBA from TCCC-1 and Coca-Cola Holdings Africa Ltd ("CCHA", together with TCCC-1, the "TCCC Sellers"), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCCC, for approximately US\$1.3 billion in cash (the "TCCC Acquisition"); and (ii) the acquisition of a 33.48 per cent. equity interest in CCBA from GFI (representing GFI's entire interest in CCBA) for approximately US\$308 million in cash and 21,027,676 Purchase Consideration Shares (the "GFI Acquisition") equal to a combined equity purchase price of approximately USD\$1.3 billion. This number of Purchase Consideration Shares was calculated based on the 30 trading day volumeweighted average price of Coca-Cola HBC shares to 17 October 2025.

The Purchase Consideration Shares, representing 5.47 per cent. of Coca-Cola HBC's enlarged issued and outstanding share capital immediately following Completion (assuming that no Shares other than New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued prior to or at Completion), used to settle the share consideration payable to GFI will, subject to shareholder approval, comprise the issue of up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI which Coca-Cola HBC will source from a capital band, and/or which Coca-Cola HBC may in part satisfy through the use and transfer from treasury of up to 6,301,533 Coca-Cola HBC shares ("Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares") by disapplying the pre-emptive rights of Shareholders.

The authorisation of the Board to issue through a capital increase out of a capital band and/or transfer from treasury by the disapplication of pre-emptive rights the Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI in respect of the GFI Acquisition will require approval of Shareholders to make certain amendments to the Articles (see paragraph 11 (Extraordinary General Meeting and Resolutions) of this Part I below).

Further details of key terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out in paragraph 1 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular.

3.2 Conditions of the Acquisition

Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the satisfaction of conditions, including:

  • merger control approvals in South Africa, Botswana, COMESA, Mozambique, Namibia and Tanzania having been satisfied; and
  • the approval of the Resolutions by Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Further details of the Conditions are set out in the summary of the Sale and Purchase Agreement set out in paragraph 1.2 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular. Subject to satisfaction of the Conditions, Completion is expected to occur by the end of 2026.

3.3 Overview of the CCBA Option

In addition: (i) TCCC-1 has agreed to grant Coca-Cola HBC Holdings BV ("CCHBV)" a call option with a five-year call period, exercisable between three and five years following Completion under which CCHBV will be able to purchase up to the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA which will still be owned by TCCC-1 following Completion (the "Call Option"); and (ii) CCHBV has agreed to grant TCCC-1 a put option enabling TCCC-1 to sell its remaining equity interest in CCBA to CCHBV between three and a half and six years following Completion (the "Put Option", together with the Call Option, the "CCBA Option").

The consideration payable on the full or partial exercise of the Call Option or the exercise of the Put Option, respectively, whether in a single exercise or through multiple exercise of the Call Option or the exercise of the Put Option, is the purchase price per ordinary share of CCBA paid to the TCCC Sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement and an applicable coupon, in cash. Coca-Cola HBC expects that any exercise of the CCBA Option will be satisfied in cash, but at the election of Coca-Cola HBC, and subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the CCBA Option Agreement to Coca-Cola HBC, part of the consideration for the CCBA shares may be settled in Coca-Cola HBC shares through the issue and transfer of up to 15,323,113 New Option Consideration Shares through a capital increase out of the capital band and/or the transfer from treasury of a maximum of all 6,301,533 Treasury Consideration Shares that are not used in connection with the GFI Acquisition ("Treasury Option Consideration Shares").

The authorisation of the Board to issue through a capital increase out of a capital band and/or transfer from treasury by the disapplication of pre-emptive rights any Option Consideration Shares to TCCC-1 in respect of the CCBA Option would require approval of Shareholders to make certain amendments to the Articles, which correspond to the amendments in relation to the Purchase Consideration Shares and would be made as part of the Resolutions (see paragraph 11 (Extraordinary General Meeting and Resolutions) of this Part I below).

Further details of the CCBA Option Agreement are set out in paragraph 2 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular.

5. Financing of the Acquisition

In connection with the Acquisition, Coca-Cola HBC entered into new committed €2.5 billion bridge facilities on 21 October 2025 comprised of a €1.4 billion facility to cover the cash portion of the consideration (the "Bridge Acquisition Facility") and, if required, a €1.1 billion facility to fund the refinancing of certain of the CCBA group's existing debt (the "Bridge Backstop Facility", together with the Bridge Acquisition Facility, the "Bridge Facilities").

8 In 2022, per the audited consolidated financial statements of CCBA for the year ended 31 December 2022, CCBA recognised impairment losses of US\$312 million across property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, due to the hyperinflation adjustments to Ethiopia.

debt in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Facilities Agreement and so the Bridge Backstop Facility is for an amount of €923.5 million as at the Latest Practicable Date. Coca-Cola HBC intends to refinance the Bridge Facilities in due course through a combination of one or more medium-term and long-term debt instruments. Coca-Cola HBC has entered into deal-contingent hedging arrangements to match financing and transaction currencies.

The Purchase Consideration Shares, representing 5.47 per cent. of Coca-Cola HBC's enlarged issued and outstanding share capital immediately following Completion (assuming that no Shares other than New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued prior to or at Completion), used to settle the share consideration payable to GFI will, subject to shareholder approval, comprise the issue of up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI which Coca-Cola HBC will source from a capital band, and/or which Coca-Cola HBC may in part satisfy through the use and transfer from treasury of up to 6,301,533 Coca-Cola HBC shares ("Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares") by disapplying the pre-emptive rights of Shareholders.

6. Financial effects of the Acquisition

The Directors expect that the Acquisition will be low-single digit EPS accretive from the first full financial year following Completion. The Directors also expect leverage post-Completion to be towards the top end of Coca-Cola HBC's medium-term target range of 1.5-2.0x Net debt to EBITDA, with no expected impact to credit rating, and the Directors believe that it illustrates a clear commitment to sustainably maintaining a strong investment grade profile.

The Acquisition will not affect Coca-Cola HBC's existing capital allocation and dividend policy, which will remain unchanged, with the remainder of the previous share buyback programme having been cancelled at announcement of the Acquisition.

7. Governance arrangements

In connection with the Acquisition, Coca-Cola HBC has agreed with the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding the terms of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement to be entered into at Completion which will regulate the relationship between them from Completion and pursuant to which the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding will have certain contractual rights in relation to the governance of Coca-Cola HBC.

Upon entry into the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement, Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder would each be entitled to nominate a number of directors for election by shareholders, subject to nomination by the Board, commensurate with current practice and their existing shareholdings and shareholdings immediately following Completion. Furthermore, the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement also provides Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder with certain other rights in recognition of their strategic shareholdings and contribution to Coca-Cola HBC's development and business.

Coca-Cola HBC is proposing certain corresponding amendments to the Articles to give effect to certain provisions in the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement and, accordingly, is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the amendments to the Articles at the General Meeting. In addition, the Board will make appropriate amendments to the Organisational Regulations to conform with the amendments to the Articles and the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement.

Separately, Coca-Cola HBC and CCHBV will enter into a shareholder agreement with CCBA, TCCC-1 and TCCC (the "CCBA Shareholder Agreement") at Completion to regulate certain aspects of CCBA's governance following Completion and pursuant to which the Coca-Cola HBC and CCHBV and TCCC-1 will have certain rights in relation to the governance of CCBA.

The authorisation of the Board to issue, through a capital increase out of a capital band and/or transfer from treasury by the disapplication of pre-emptive rights, the Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI will require approval of Shareholders to make certain amendments to the Articles, which includes the introduction of a capital band for the issue and transfer of New Purchase Consideration Shares and the disapplication of pre-emptive rights for the transfer from treasury of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares.

In addition, TCCC-1 has agreed to grant CCHBV the Call Option with a five-year call period, exercisable between three and five years following Completion, under which CCHBV will be able to purchase the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA which will still be owned by TCCC-1 following Completion. TCCC-1 will be able to sell its remaining equity interest in CCBA to CCHBV between three and a half and six years following Completion under the Put Option. The consideration payable on exercise of the CCBA Option is the purchase price per ordinary share of CCBA paid to the TCCC Sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement and an applicable coupon, in cash, or, at the election of Coca-Cola HBC, the issue and transfer of New Option Consideration Shares through a capital increase out of the capital band and/or the transfer from treasury of Treasury Option Consideration Shares. A summary of the CCBA Option Agreement is set out at paragraph 2 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular.

Furthermore, Coca-Cola HBC, Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder have agreed to enter into the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement at Completion to regulate certain aspects of Coca-Cola HBC's governance. The provisions of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement include, among other things: granting Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder certain director nomination rights; providing for certain nominee directors to be involved in arrangements for the appointment of key directors of Coca-Cola HBC and making recommendations as to proposals relating to certain strategic matters; providing Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder with consultation rights in relation to the annual business plan; and providing Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder with certain information rights to assist them with the management and accounting of their respective interests in Coca-Cola HBC. A summary of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement is set out at paragraph 5 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular.

Coca-Cola HBC proposes to make certain amendments to its Articles pursuant to the Resolutions. A summary explanation of each of the Resolutions is set out below:

11.3.1 Resolution 1

The consideration payable to GFI under the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the GFI Acquisition will include up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares. In order to ensure that Coca-Cola HBC may at Completion increase its share capital and issue up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares as consideration to GFI for the GFI Acquisition, the Board seeks shareholder authority to introduce a capital band pursuant to a new art. 6a in the Articles giving the Board the authority to issue up to a maximum of 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares within the terms as set forth in the capital band provision. As at the date of this Circular, the Board intends to satisfy the Purchase Consideration Shares through the issue of 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares.

In addition, the consideration payable to TCCC-1 under the CCBA Option Agreement is expected to be satisfied in cash but at the election of Coca-Cola HBC, and subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the CCBA Option Agreement to Coca-Cola HBC, may include New Option Consideration Shares. While Coca-Cola HBC expects that any exercise of the CCBA Option will be satisfied in cash, to ensure that Coca-Cola HBC may elect to satisfy all or part of the consideration payable to TCCC-1 under the CCBA Option Agreement through the issue and transfer of New Option Consideration Shares, the Board will be also be authorised to increase Coca-Cola HBC's share capital and increase up to a maximum of 15,323,113 New Option Consideration Shares out of the capital band in new art. 6a in the Articles within the terms as set forth in the capital band provision. As at the date of this Circular, the Board does not currently intend to issue any New Option Consideration Shares in connection with any exercise of the CCBA Option but reserves the right to do so.

Coca-Cola HBC has chosen to propose to Shareholders to approve the introduction of a capital band authorising the Board to issue New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares under the conditions set forth in the capital band because it provides additional flexibility for timing of issue of the new Shares and withdraws the subscription rights of existing Shareholders. The capital band will remain in force until 19 January 2031, at which time the authority to issue New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares will lapse (unless extended prior to such date, subject to Shareholder approval). The New Purchase Consideration Shares will be issued at Completion, which is targeted to occur by the end of 2026, and the Call Option is exercisable between three and five years following Completion and the Put Option is exercisable between three and a half and six years following Completion. The capital band provision allows the Board to issue the New Purchase Consideration Shares, and may allow the Board to issue any New Option Consideration Shares without subsequent Shareholder approval, subject to timing of exercise(s) of the CCBA Option in relation to New Option Consideration Shares. An ordinary capital increase under Swiss corporate law, whereby Shareholders would instruct the Board to implement the increase of the share capital of Coca-Cola HBC and issue a certain amount of new shares, must be implemented within six months of Shareholder approval and such timeframe is not expected to be sufficient for completion of the GFI Acquisition in the context of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and would not be sufficient in connection with exercise of the CCBA Option.

The capital band provision is structured in a way to ensure that the Board may use its authorisation under the capital band to only issue New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares and only according to the terms as set forth in the proposed new art. 6a in the Articles. The Board's discretion is thus limited to allow completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and, at the election of Coca-Cola HBC, the CCBA Option Agreement to the extent Coca-Cola HBC issues New Option Consideration Shares. Any use of the capital band provision for purposes other than the issue of New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the CCBA Option Agreement, respectively, is excluded.

Pursuant to Resolution 1, the maximum number of new Coca-Cola HBC shares that may be issued by the Board out of the capital band is 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares and 15,323,113 New Option Consideration Shares, representing a maximum of 10 per cent. of the current issued share capital of Coca-Cola HBC (excluding Shares held in treasury) as at the date of this Circular. This shall limit the potential dilution of Shareholders through the issue of new Coca-Cola HBC shares.

The New Purchase Consideration Shares and any New Option Consideration Shares will be issued as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares in issue. No fractional amounts of New Purchase Consideration Shares or New Option Consideration Shares will be issued.

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, part of the consideration payable to GFI will include the issuance by Coca-Cola HBC of up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares, credited as fully paid, subject to potential pre-completion adjustments. The New Purchase Consideration Shares are expected to be held in uncertificated form.

The value of CCBA (subject to certain pre-completion adjustments for leakage based on the Sale and Purchase Agreement) and/or Coca-Cola HBC may change after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement until Completion (which is targeted to occur by the end of 2026, depending on the time the required regulatory approvals are satisfied). The authorisation provided by Shareholders to the Board does not allow the Board to take into account such changes in value of CCBA (subject to certain pre-completion adjustments for leakage based on the Sale and Purchase Agreement) and/or Coca-Cola HBC when determining the actual number of New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued to GFI and the number of CCBA B ordinary shares to be contributed to Coca-Cola HBC, both in connection with the Completion.

The issue price for each New Purchase Consideration Share shall be equal to the Swiss Franc amount of the value of the CCBA B ordinary shares at the time of Completion divided by the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares. The market price of the New Purchase Consideration Shares at the time of Completion will not be taken into account, even if this means that the New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Coca-Cola HBC shares at the Completion date.

The consideration payable at completion of the GFI Acquisition to GFI under the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the GFI Acquisition will be deemed to be reduced by any leakage adjustment and, to the extent that any adjustment is made prior to completion of the GFI Acquisition, such adjustment shall first reduce the cash consideration of approximately US\$308 million (provided that this will not be reduced to less than US\$200 million) and, if insufficient, reduce the Purchase Consideration Shares (either New Purchase Consideration Shares or Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares) by an amount equal to the relevant adjustment expressed in GBP (converted on the basis of an agreed conversion rate) divided by the 30 trading day volume-weighted average price of Coca-Cola HBC shares to 17 October 2025.

The Board will determine the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued within the capital band (and the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred, if any) to GFI as consideration for the GFI Acquisition at a preparatory Board meeting prior to Completion. Once the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares has been determined, any subsequent adjustments under the Sale and Purchase Agreement may only be effected by first reducing the cash amount to be paid to GFI or thereafter the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred to GFI.

The New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares (if any) when issued will be admitted (i) to listing on the ESCC Category and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, (ii) to trading on the Athens Exchange and (iii) to trading on the Main Board of the JSE at Completion.

At the election of Coca-Cola HBC, and subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the CCBA Option Agreement to Coca-Cola HBC, the purchase price payable pursuant to a Call Option or a Put Option may be satisfied in New Option Consideration Shares with the price per Coca-Cola HBC share calculated on a 30-day volume-weighted average prior to the date of option exercise notice. In such case, the Board will determine the number of New Option Consideration Shares to be issued within the capital band to TCCC-1 and the subscription rights of shareholders shall be withdrawn. There is no guarantee that the maximum number of 15,323,113 New Option Consideration Shares will be sufficient to satisfy the CCBA Option in full in the context of variables as to the timing of Completion, the timing of any exercise of a Call Option and/or Put Option and the prevailing Coca-Cola HBC share price at the time of such option exercise (and would not be sufficient based on the valuation of CCBA and the Company's share price at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement). As a result, if Coca-Cola HBC elects to satisfy a Call Option or a Put Option exercise in New Option Consideration Shares then it would be required to seek further approval of Shareholders to extend the capital band and/or it would need to satisfy such option exercise in cash and/or Treasury Option Consideration Shares.

Considering that any exercise of the CCBA Option will only occur at least three years after Completion, the value of CCBA and/or Coca-Cola HBC may be different at the time of any exercise of the CCBA Option than at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The authorisation provided to the Board does not allow the Board to take into account such changes in value of CCBA (subject to certain adjustments based on mechanisms set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement and adding a coupon calculated in accordance with the Option Agreement) when determining the number of New Option Consideration Shares to be issued to TCCC-1 in connection with any exercise of the CCBA Option.

The issue price for each New Option Consideration Share shall be equal to the Swiss Franc amount of the value of the CCBA E ordinary shares contributed at the time of any exercise of the CCBA Option divided by the number of New Option Consideration Shares.

Payment of the New Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI pursuant to the GFI Acquisition will take place on completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and payment of any New Option Consideration Shares (at the sole discretion of Coca-Cola HBC) to TCCC-1 is subject to exercise and, will take place on, completion of the exercise of a Call Option and/or the Put Option, respectively, and which are subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the CCBA Option Agreement, respectively.

The authority provided under Resolution 1 to the Board will not authorise the Board to issue new Coca-Cola HBC shares out of the capital band other than New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares.

11.3.2 Resolution 2

The consideration payable to GFI under the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the GFI Acquisition will include up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares. The Board wishes to be granted flexibility to determine the appropriate allocation of New Purchase Consideration Shares and Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares (if any), subject to certain limits. Therefore, in addition to the authority to increase Coca-Cola HBC's share capital and issue up to 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares in connection with the GFI Acquisition, the Board also seeks shareholder approval to introduce a new art. 10a in the Articles giving the Board the authority to use and transfer up to a maximum of 6,301,533 Treasury Consideration Shares held in treasury in connection with the GFI Acquisition.

In addition, the consideration payable to TCCC-1 under the CCBA Option Agreement is expected to be satisfied in cash but, at the election of Coca-Cola HBC, and subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the CCBA Option Agreement to Coca-Cola HBC, may include Treasury Option Consideration Shares. While Coca-Cola HBC expects that any exercise of the CCBA Option will be satisfied in cash, to ensure that Coca-Cola HBC may elect to satisfy all or part of the consideration payable to TCCC-1 under the CCBA Option Agreement through the issue and transfer of Treasury Option Consideration Shares, the Board will be also be authorised under art. 10a in the Articles to use and transfer a maximum of all Treasury Consideration Shares which have not been used and transferred to GFI in connection with Completion.

The Treasury Consideration Shares were acquired by Coca-Cola HBC pursuant to a share buyback programme. At the time of commencing the share buyback programme, Coca-Cola HBC expected to use Shares repurchased under the share buyback programme for the satisfaction of awards under equity incentive programmes or to cancel them. Since the number of Shares held in treasury significantly exceeds the number of Shares expected to be needed for the satisfaction of awards under equity incentive programmes, Coca-Cola HBC now proposes to have the flexibility to use Shares held in treasury as consideration in connection with the GFI Acquisition and the CCBA Option. As the Shares held in treasury are subject to pre-emptive rights under art. 10 para. 2 of the Articles, Shareholder approval is required to disapply such pre-emptive rights. According to art. 10 para. 4 of the Articles such Shareholder approval disapplying the pre-emptive rights of Shares held in treasury must specify the maximum amount of Shares held in treasury to be resold without pre-emptive rights and a time limit of not more than one year during which Shares held in treasury may be resold without pre-emptive rights. Since for the purposes of Completion a time limit longer than one year may be required, Resolution 2 proposes to introduce a new art. 10a in the Articles, which sets forth that Treasury Consideration Shares may be used until 19 January 2034.

Pursuant to Resolution 2, the maximum number of Coca-Cola HBC shares held in treasury that may be used in connection with the GFI Acquisition and the CCBA Option is 6,301,533 Shares, which may be utilised either as Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares or Treasury Option Consideration Shares. To the extent that some or all of the 6,301,533 Shares held in treasury are used as Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares then such Shares will not be available for use as Treasury Option Consideration Shares.

The value of CCBA and/or Coca-Cola HBC may change after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement until Completion (which is targeted to occur by the end of 2026, depending on the time the required regulatory approvals are satisfied). The authorisation of the Board does not allow the Board to take into account such changes in value of CCBA and/or Coca-Cola HBC when determining the actual number of New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued to GFI and the number of CCBA B ordinary shares to be contributed to Coca-Cola HBC, both in connection with the Completion.

A description of the consideration payable to GFI under the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the GFI Acquisition and a reduction for any leakage adjustment which Coca-Cola HBC and CCHBV (in their sole discretion) may reduce, including the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred is described in paragraph 11.3.1 above.

The Board will determine the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued within the capital band and any Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred to GFI as consideration for the GFI Acquisition at a preparatory Board meeting prior to Completion. Once the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares has been determined, any subsequent adjustments under the Sale and Purchase Agreement may only be effected by reducing the cash amount to be paid to GFI or the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred to GFI.

At the election of Coca-Cola HBC, and subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the CCBA Option Agreement to Coca-Cola HBC, the purchase price payable pursuant to a Call Option or a Put Option under the CCBA Option Agreement may be satisfied in Treasury Option Consideration Shares with the price per Coca-Cola HBC share calculated on a 30-day volume-weighted average prior to the date of option exercise notice. In such case, the Board will determine the number of Treasury Option Consideration Shares to be transferred to TCCC-1 and the pre-emptive rights of Shareholders pursuant to art. 10 para. 2 of the Articles shall be excluded.

Considering that any exercise of the CCBA Option will only occur at least three years after Completion, the value of CCBA and/or Coca-Cola HBC may be different at the time of any exercise of the CCBA Option than at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The authorisation provided by Shareholders to the Board does not allow the Board to take into account such changes in value of CCBA (subject to certain adjustments based on mechanisms set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement and adding a coupon calculated in accordance with the Option Agreement) when determining the number of Treasury Option Consideration Shares to be issued to TCCC-1 in connection with any exercise of the CCBA Option.

Payment of any of the Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares for the GFI Acquisition will take place on completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and is subject to Coca-Cola HBC electing to settle the GFI Acquisition using Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares (rather than New Purchase Consideration Shares), and payment of any Treasury Option Consideration Shares (at the sole discretion of Coca-Cola HBC) is subject to exercise and completion of a Call Option and/or the Put Option, respectively, and which are subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the CCBA Option Agreement, respectively. There is no guarantee that the maximum number of 6,301,533 Treasury Consideration Shares will be sufficient to satisfy the GFI Acquisition or the CCBA Option in full, neither based on the values at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement nor in the future. If Coca-Cola HBC wishes to use additional shares held in treasury to satisfy the GFI Acquisition or the CCBA Option then it would need to seek further approval of Shareholders.

The authority provided under Resolution 2 will not authorise the Directors to use and transfer existing Coca-Cola HBC shares held in treasury other than for the purpose of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares and Treasury Option Consideration Shares.

11.3.3 Resolution 3

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement to be entered into upon Completion makes amendments to the existing Board approval arrangements for certain matters and grants the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding contractual rights in connection with Coca-Cola HBC's governance, including the right to nominate directors for appointment to the Board based on their shareholdings from time to time and certain of such directors (one each nominated by the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding, in each case subject to holding at least 10 per cent. in Coca-Cola HBC) will be members of the Strategy Committee (as defined below) which will be consulted on certain strategic matters that are subject to Enhanced Oversight (as defined below). Details of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement are set out in paragraph 5 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular.

Under art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles, certain matters currently require the approval of a qualified quorum and qualified majority of the Coca-Cola HBC Board, in respect of which decisions will require (i) a quorum of at least eight directors present, or, if the Board comprises fewer than ten directors, a quorum of three-quarters of all directors and (ii) the approval by the votes of two-thirds of the directors present and entitled to vote ("Qualified Quorum/Majority").

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement will, with effect from Completion, regulate certain aspects of Coca-Cola HBC's governance. The corresponding changes to the Articles are as follows:

  • the existing provisions of art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles will be disapplied and be superseded by the provisions of art. 28 para. 2bis and art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles and a new art. 29bis of the Articles will be introduced:
  • the new art. 28 para. 2bis of the Articles will provide for a list of matters that continue to require approval by the Qualified Quorum/Majority of the Board;
  • the new art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles will provide for a list of matters that require Enhanced Oversight (as defined below) in addition to the approval by the Qualified Quorum/Majority of the Board; and
  • the new art. 29bis of the Articles will authorise and instruct the Board to establish the Strategy Committee (as defined below).

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement provides for the establishment of a strategy committee of the Board comprising the Chief Executive Officer and (in each case, provided Kar-Tess Holding's and the TCCC Shareholder's shareholding is at least 10 per cent.) one director nominated by Kar-Tess Holding and one director nominated by the TCCC Shareholder (the "Strategy Committee"). The Strategy Committee shall have the authority to consider and prepare a recommendation on certain strategic matters of Coca-Cola HBC prior to consideration and determination of such matters by the Board; furthermore, the decisions of the Strategy Committee must be taken unanimously ("Enhanced Oversight"). The Board will consult with the Strategy Committee and have regard to its recommendations prior to making decisions on matters subject to Enhanced Oversight. The introduction of art. 29bis of the Articles will authorise and instruct the Board to establish the Strategy Committee for such purpose and provide that its composition, duties and powers will be determined by the Board in the Organisational Regulations of Coca-Cola HBC ("Organisational Regulations").

The disapplication of art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles, the introduction of art. 28 para. 2bis and art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles as well as the introduction of art. 29bis shall only enter into force from the date on which Completion is published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce.

In case Completion does not occur, no publication will be made in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce and hence art. 28 para.2 of the Articles will not be disapplied and art. 28 para. 2bis, art. 28 para. 2ter and art. 29bis of the Articles will not enter into force.

PART II

RISK FACTORS

This section describes the risk factors considered by the Directors to be material risk factors in relation to the Acquisition, or which will be material new risk factors to Coca Cola HBC as a result of the Acquisition. If any of the following risks actually materialise, following Completion, Coca Cola HBC's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected and the value of the Shares could decline. The risks described below are not the only risks faced. Additional risks not presently known to the Directors or that the Directors currently deem immaterial may also, whether individually or cumulatively, have a material adverse effect on Coca Cola HBC's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects, and could negatively affect the price of the Shares. Shareholders could lose all or part of their investment.

The information included herein is based on information available as at the date of this Circular and, except required by the UK Listing Rules, MAR, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules or any other applicable law or regulation, will not be updated. Any forward-looking statements are made subject to the reservations specified under paragraph 2 of the section entitled "Important Information" of this Circular.

Shareholders should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all other information contained in this document (including any information incorporated into this document by reference) before deciding whether or how to vote in respect of the Resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

1. Material Risks relating to the Acquisition

1.1 Completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including obtaining the required regulatory approvals, which may not be satisfied or which may result in Completion being delayed

The Acquisition is subject to satisfaction (or waiver, if applicable) of certain customary conditions, including regulatory and merger control approvals, change of control consents and the necessary majority for the approval of the Resolutions by Shareholders to make certain amendments to the Articles. There is no guarantee that the Conditions will be satisfied. Failure to satisfy (or, where permitted, waive) any of the Conditions will result in the Acquisition not being completed. In addition, satisfaction of the Conditions may take longer and/or cost more than Coca-Cola HBC expects.

As a condition to their clearance of the Acquisition, regulatory authorities may impose requirements or limitations and/or request conditions or remedies which could jeopardise and/or delay Completion of the Acquisition or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.

1.2 Failure to complete the Acquisition may have an adverse impact on Coca-Cola HBC's business and the price of Coca-Cola HBC's shares

If the Acquisition is not completed for any reason, the ongoing business of Coca-Cola HBC may be affected and Coca-Cola HBC may be subject to a number of risks, including: Coca-Cola HBC may experience negative reactions from financial markets, including adverse impacts on its share price; Coca-Cola HBC may suffer negative reputational reaction; Coca-Cola HBC's relationship with TCCC may be adversely affected; and matters relating to the Acquisition (including integration planning) will require substantial commitments of time and resources by Coca-Cola HBC's management, which would otherwise have been devoted to the operations and opportunities of the existing Coca-Cola HBC business.

1.3 As the consideration for the Acquisition was fixed at signing, subject to certain adjustments, the value paid by Coca-Cola HBC may exceed the value of CCBA at Completion

The consideration for the TCCC Acquisition and the GFI Acquisition was fixed at signing, subject to certain completion adjustments. Completion is targeted to occur by the end of 2026 and the value of the consideration paid by Coca-Cola HBC may exceed the value of CCBA at Completion. Furthermore, the aggregate number of Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued and transferred to GFI at Completion has been fixed at signing and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the market value of Coca-Cola HBC shares or the currency exchange rates so the value of the Purchase Consideration Shares at Completion may exceed the value of the Purchase Consideration Shares at signing and the valuation of CCBA may vary materially during the period between signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement and Completion. It may therefore be that, at Completion, New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued and transferred to GFI at an issue price significantly lower than the then current market price as set forth at the London Stock Exchange and thus GFI would benefit from being able to subscribe to the New Purchase Consideration Shares at a significant discount to the prevailing market price.

1.4 Coca-Cola HBC may be unable to verify the accuracy, reliability or completeness of all information it has received regarding CCBA

Coca-Cola HBC has conducted due diligence investigations in connection with the Acquisition. As part of this, Coca-Cola HBC has relied on the information provided by and disclosures made on behalf of CCBA, as well as on the due diligence investigations conducted by its advisers. Such due diligence may not reveal all of the relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating CCBA and the Acquisition, or all of the risks associated with CCBA and the Acquisition or the full extent of any liability which may arise from such risks. To the extent that any investigation by Coca-Cola HBC's advisers, or that any information provided to Coca-Cola HBC or its advisers, is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading, the financial effects of the Acquisition and the actual performance of CCBA following Completion may be different from what was expected, which may have a material adverse impact on Coca-Cola HBC's future financial performance.

1.5 Coca-Cola HBC may incur higher than expected costs related to the Acquisition

Coca-Cola HBC has incurred and expects to incur additional non-recurring costs in connection with the Acquisition and Completion, including integration and post-Completion costs. Such costs include, among others, financial services, accounting, tax and legal fees and expenses in connection with the process of evaluating and negotiating the terms of the Acquisition and filing fees and expenses. Furthermore, Coca-Cola HBC may incur additional significant unanticipated costs in connection with the Acquisition or integration of the CCBA business following Completion. Even if the Acquisition is not completed, Coca-Cola HBC will need to pay certain costs relating to the Acquisition and such costs may be significant.

1.6 Coca-Cola HBC may fail to realise the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition and may experience difficulties in integrating CCBA

There is a risk that some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition may fail to materialise or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by Coca-Cola HBC. The realisation of such benefits may be affected by a number of factors, including regulatory considerations and decisions, many of which are beyond the control of Coca-Cola HBC.

The expected benefits of the Acquisition depend in part on the successful integration of CCBA. The Coca-Cola HBC and CCBA businesses have operated and, until Completion, will continue to operate, independently and there is no assurance that their businesses can be fully integrated effectively. Key risks and challenges of integrating CCBA include, amongst other things, aligning business cultures, coordinating processes and procedures, sharing best practices and retaining key employees, and may absorb significant Coca-Cola HBC management time and attention at the cost of growing the Coca-Cola HBC business.

In connection with the Acquisition, Coca-Cola HBC has agreed that, on Completion, new bottlers' agreements will be entered into between TCCC and relevant subsidiaries of CCBA, for an initial term of ten years, with the option for Coca-Cola HBC to request an extension (at the discretion of TCCC) for another ten years upon expiry of the initial term. These new bottlers' agreements will be concluded on similar terms with the bottlers' agreements between TCCC and Coca-Cola HBC in other Coca-Cola HBC territories where the Coca-Cola HBC group produces, sells and distributes TCCC's trademarked beverages. If new bottlers' agreements are not entered into, or the terms of the bottlers' agreements are not the same as those of bottlers' agreements between TCCC and Coca-Cola HBC, or CCBA fails to comply with the terms of the bottlers' agreements, or disagreements with TCCC concerning business or operational issues arise, this may adversely affect the CCBA business, and may have a material adverse effect on Coca-Cola HBC's and CCBA's business success, including Coca-Cola HBC's financial results, following Completion.

Failure to realise all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition may impact the financial performance of Coca-Cola HBC and its prospects.

1.7 Shareholders will experience dilution in their ownership of Coca-Cola HBC as a result of the Acquisition, and may experience dilution as a result of the CCBA Option

Following Completion, existing shareholders of Coca-Cola HBC will own a smaller percentage of Coca-Cola HBC than they do as at the date of this announcement, as Coca-Cola HBC will issue and transfer Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI at Completion representing 5.47 per cent. of Coca-Cola HBC's enlarged issued and outstanding share capital immediately following Completion (assuming that no Shares other than New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued prior to or at Completion), which are expected to be New Purchase Consideration Shares, but which Coca-Cola HBC may in part satisfy by the transfer from treasury of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares. The issue and transfer of the Purchase Consideration Shares will result in existing Shareholders being diluted. As a consequence, the number of voting rights which can be exercised and the influence which may be exerted by existing Shareholders will be reduced accordingly.

Furthermore, while Coca-Cola HBC expects that any exercise of the CCBA Option will be satisfied in cash, if Coca-Cola HBC elects to satisfy all or part of the consideration payable to TCCC-1 under the CCBA Option Agreement through the issue and transfer of New Option Consideration Shares through a capital increase out of the capital band and/or the transfer from treasury of Treasury Option Consideration Shares then this will result in Shareholders (other than TCCC and its group) being diluted. As a consequence, the number of voting rights which can be exercised and the influence which may be exerted by existing Shareholders will be reduced accordingly.

1.8 CCBA may be adversely affected by general macroeconomic conditions

CCBA's activities could be materially adversely affected by instability in local and global financial markets or changes in market, economic, political, geopolitical, social or regulatory conditions or events in the jurisdictions in which CCBA operates, as well as by numerous other factors outside its control, such as interest rates, inflation rates, trade wars, increase in tariff rates, trade barriers, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, currency exchange controls, terrorism and warfare, epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises, and national and international political circumstances. These general macroeconomic conditions may involve disparate consequences such as elevated interest rates, slow economic growth, recessions, inflationary or deflationary pressures, fluctuating commodity prices, international sanctions, and related financial market impacts. Events that occur in one country in which CCBA operates may adversely impact other countries. These impacts can be exacerbated by failures of governments and societies to adequately respond to an emerging event or threat. A deterioration in macroeconomic conditions in any of the markets in which CCBA operates as a result of any such developments or events may have an adverse effect on Coca-Cola HBC following Completion.

1.9 Following Completion of the Acquisition, the indebtedness and financial leverage of Coca-Cola HBC will increase

Coca-Cola HBC has entered into the Bridge Facilities Agreement in connection with the Acquisition, which Coca-Cola HBC intends to refinance in due course, to fund the cash portion of the consideration payable under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As a result, funding the payment of the cash consideration for the Acquisition will increase the overall indebtedness and financial leverage of Coca-Cola HBC following Completion, as compared to the indebtedness and financial leverage of Coca-Cola HBC immediately prior to Completion, which will result in increased repayment commitments and borrowing costs and may limit Coca-Cola HBC's commercial and financial flexibility.

In the longer term, an increased level of debt for Coca-Cola HBC could have the effect, among other things, of reducing its flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. In addition, the amount of cash required to service Coca-Cola HBC's increased debt levels and increased aggregate dividends following Completion and thus the demands on Coca-Cola HBC's cash resources will be greater than the amount of cash flows required to service Coca-Cola HBC's debt and pay dividends prior to the Acquisition. The increased levels of debt and dividends following Completion could, in the longer term, also reduce funds available for Coca-Cola HBC's investments in capital expenditure, further M&A activities, dividends, share repurchases and other activities and may create competitive disadvantages for Coca-Cola HBC relative to other companies with lower debt levels.

1.10 Certain of CCBA's commercial and financing arrangements contain change in control provisions

Coca-Cola HBC intends to continue, where possible, CCBA's commercial arrangements and maintain CCBA's existing financing arrangements. Certain of CCBA's commercial and other agreements and existing financing agreements contain change of control provisions, and there is no assurance that counterparties to such agreements will waive or consent to a change of control. To the extent that such change of control provisions are not waived or consents are not received and the Acquisition completes, then Coca-Cola HBC may need to negotiate new commercial agreements for the CCBA business or Coca-Cola HBC may need to draw down additional funds to repay such facilities or would need to renegotiate the terms of such facilities or replacement facilities, and any new, amended or replacement terms may be less favourable to CCBA and may materially adversely affect CCBA's business, results of operations and financial condition.

1.11 Risks relating to the acquisition of the remaining 25 per cent. of CCBA shares

Although CCHBV and TCCC-1 have agreed the terms of the CCBA Option Agreement, there is no assurance that Coca-Cola HBC will acquire the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA that it will not acquire at Completion. Furthermore, if CCHBV acquires the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA following exercise of the Put Option by TCCC-1 then such acquisition may not be at a time of Coca-Cola HBC's election and it may not be able to arrange financing on beneficial terms or at all.

1.12 Risks relating to the governance changes

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement to be entered into upon Completion grants the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding contractual rights in connection with Coca-Cola HBC's governance, including the right to nominate directors for appointment to the Board based on their shareholdings from time to time and certain of such directors (one each from TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding, subject to holding at least 10 per cent. in Coca-Cola HBC) will be members of the Strategy Committee which will be consulted on certain strategic matters that are subject to Enhanced Oversight. Details of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement are set out in paragraph 5 of Part III (Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms) of this Circular.

Upon entry into the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement, Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder would therefore each be entitled to nominate a number of directors for election by shareholders, subject to nomination by the Board, commensurate with current practice and their existing shareholdings. Furthermore, Kar-Tess Holding and the TCCC Shareholder would each be able to nominate a certain number of directors at lower shareholding levels in accordance with the terms of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement.

Neither Kar-Tess Holding nor TCCC is currently able, nor following entry into the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement will be able, to control (positively or negatively) decisions of the Board that are subject to simple majority approval. However, decisions of the Board subject to the Qualified Quorum/Majority provision contained in art. 28 para. 2 of the existing Articles, currently require, and will require based on expected shareholding levels of Kar-Tess Holding and TCCC at Completion, the support of directors nominated at the request of at least one of either TCCC or Kar-Tess Holding to be approved. As TCCC and Kar-Tess Holding will each, so long as it holds 10 per cent. or more of Coca-Cola HBC shares, be able to nominate one director as member of the Strategy Committee, then such nominee directors will have authority to make a unanimous recommendation, together with the Chief Executive Officer (other than in connection with the appointment of a future Chief Executive Officer), in relation to Enhanced Oversight matters for the Coca-Cola HBC Board's consideration, subject to the Shareholders approving Resolution 3. Matters requiring a Qualified Quorum/Majority under the existing Articles, or new matters under the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement and amended Articles, that become Enhanced Oversight matters will continue to be, or (to the extent they are not already) will become, subject to approval by the Board in accordance with the Qualified Quorum/Majority requirements contained in the amended Articles. In addition, based on their current shareholding levels, neither Kar-Tess Holding nor TCCC is able to control a decision of the shareholders (positively or negatively), except to block a resolution to dissolve with liquidation Coca-Cola HBC or to amend the supermajority voting requirements therefor.

Immediately following Completion, Kar-Tess Holding and TCCC are each expected to continue to hold 20 per cent. or more of Coca-Cola HBC's issued shares and so would continue to be able to block a resolution to dissolve with liquidation Coca-Cola HBC and, depending on attendance level at any general meeting of Shareholders, Kar-Tess Holding or TCCC may also be able to control other matters requiring a qualified majority shareholder approval pursuant to art. 19 para. 3 and 4 of the Articles. The interests of Kar-Tess Holding and/or TCCC may not always be aligned with those of other Shareholders or with each other.

1.2 Conditions

The obligations of the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement to complete the Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions (the "Conditions").

The Conditions include customary and other closing conditions including the following:

  • each merger control authority in South Africa, Botswana, COMESA, Mozambique, Namibia and Tanzania (and any other applicable merger control authority) having declined jurisdiction or having given actual, conditional or deemed approval in respect of the Acquisition (the "Merger Control Conditions");
  • the approval by the shareholders of Coca-Cola HBC of the Resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting necessary to effect the GFI Acquisition to amend the Articles, specifically to introduce the capital band to facilitate the issue of New Purchase Consideration Shares and New Option Consideration Shares and to permit the use and transfer of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares and Treasury Option Consideration Shares and to introduce certain governance related changes, and such amended Articles having been registered with the commercial register of Zug (Switzerland) (the "Shareholder Approval Condition");
  • admission of the New Purchase Consideration Shares to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the LSE, the regulated market of the Athens Exchange, and the secondary "inward" listing of Coca-Cola HBC shares (including the Purchase Consideration Shares) on the Main Board of the JSE having been approved (the "Admission Conditions" and, together with the Shareholder Approval Condition, the "Consideration Shares Conditions"); and
  • confirmation from the exchange control authority or an authorised dealer acting under its delegated authority that: (i) the secondary "inward" listing of Coca-Cola HBC shares (including the Purchase Consideration Shares) on the JSE has been approved; (ii) the use of cash consideration and Purchase Consideration Shares as consideration for the CCBA shares from GFI has been approved; (iii) the share certificates in respect of the CCBA shares to be transferred to Coca-Cola HBC may be endorsed "non-resident"; and (iv) the transfer of the CCBA shares to, and the receipt of the Purchase Consideration Shares and the cash consideration as consideration by, GFI has been approved (the "SARB Condition").

The Purchasers and the Sellers will use reasonable endeavours to satisfy or procure the satisfaction of the Merger Control Conditions as soon as reasonably practicable; Coca-Cola HBC will take all steps required or necessary to satisfy or procure the satisfaction of the Admission Conditions; Coca-Cola HBC will use reasonable endeavours to satisfy or procure the satisfaction of the Consideration Shares Conditions on or prior to Completion (and in the case of the Shareholder Approval Condition, no later than six months following signing); and the Purchasers and GFI will use reasonable endeavours to satisfy or procure the satisfaction of the SARB Condition.

1.3 Consideration

The consideration for the Acquisition is:

  • approximately US\$1,311 million in cash payable by CCHBV (the "TCCC Consideration"); and
  • (i) approximately US\$308 million in cash payable by CCHBV; and (ii) the issue and/or transfer of 21,027,676 Purchase Consideration Shares by Coca-Cola HBC to GFI (together, the "GFI Consideration"),

in each case, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and subject to pre-completion adjustments.

The GFI Consideration will be satisfied by:

  • the payment by CCHBV to GFI of approximately US\$308 million;
  • the issuance at Completion by Coca-Cola HBC to GFI, credited as fully paid, of a maximum of 21,027,676 New Purchase Consideration Shares; and/or
  • the transfer at Completion by Coca-Cola HBC to GFI of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares (if any).

The New Purchase Consideration Shares will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares in the capital of Coca-Cola HBC in issue prior to Completion in all respects and will carry the same rights, including for dividends declared by Coca-Cola HBC following Completion, and will be issued or transferred (as the case may be) with valid title to GFI free from any encumbrance and together with all rights attached to them at Completion or subsequently becoming attached to them. In the event of any leakage adjustment, no fractional amounts of Purchase Consideration Shares will be allotted or transferred to GFI and the number of Purchase Consideration Shares to be allotted or transferred (as the case may be) will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Each of the TCCC Consideration and the GFI Consideration: (i) will be reduced by any leakage adjustment, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and (ii) will be deemed, to the extent legally permissible, to be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the TCCC Sellers or TCCC to the Purchasers pursuant to any claim, apportioned, with respect to the consideration paid or provided by each Purchaser, by reference to the relevant proportion. Any adjustment to the GFI Consideration determined on or prior to Completion will be applied first by reducing the cash consideration of approximately US\$308 million, provided that this will not be reduced to less than US\$200 million, and if insufficient reduce the number of Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued or transferred by an amount equal to the relevant adjustment expressed in GBP (converted on the basis of an agreed conversion rate) divided by the 30 trading day volume-weighted average price of Coca-Cola HBC ordinary shares calculated to 17 October 2025.

1.4 Warranties

The Sale and Purchase Agreement contains customary warranties from the Sellers, TCCC (as guarantor) and CCBA to the Purchasers for a transaction of this nature, including authority to enter into the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Sellers' ability to complete the Acquisition, as well as customary business warranties from CCBA.

The warranties and indemnities given by the Sellers are subject to certain monetary and time thresholds that are customary for an agreement of this nature.

In addition, Sabco has granted to CCHA an irrevocable right exercisable between the date that is three years from Completion and the date that is five years from Completion to sell the full amount of CCHA's 2.87 per cent. equity interest in Fortune (the "Fortune Put Option").

3.2 Consideration

5. Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement

Coca-Cola HBC has agreed with the TCCC Shareholder, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCCC, and Kar-Tess Holding the terms of the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement to be entered into upon Completion which will regulate the relationship between them from Completion and pursuant to which the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding will have certain rights in relation to the governance of Coca-Cola HBC.

5.1 Board composition

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement provides that the Board will comprise no fewer than seven and no more than fifteen directors, including the Chairperson and the Chief Executive Officer. At all times at least half the Board, excluding the Chairperson, will comprise independent nonexecutive directors ("INEDs").

5.2 Director nomination rights

Pursuant to the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement, if Kar-Tess Holding's shareholding in Coca-Cola HBC is:

  • 15 per cent. or more, Kar-Tess Holding may nominate at any one time four persons as directors;
  • 10 per cent. or more, Kar-Tess Holding may nominate at any one time three persons as directors; or
  • 5 per cent. or more, Kar-Tess Holding may nominate at any one time two persons as directors,

(any such director, a "Kar-Tess Nominated Director").

Pursuant to the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement, if the TCCC Shareholder's shareholding in Coca-Cola HBC is:

• 10 per cent. or more, TCCC Shareholder may nominate at any one time two persons as directors; or

• 5 per cent. or more, TCCC Shareholder may nominate at any one time one person as director,

(any such director, a "TCCC Nominated Director").

Each Kar-Tess Nominated Director and TCCC Nominated Director must stand for election or reelection at each annual general meeting of Coca-Cola HBC.

If any at any time the number of directors that Kar-Tess Holding or the TCCC Shareholder is entitled to nominate falls below the number of directors who had been nominated to their role by Kar-Tess Holding or the TCCC Shareholder, respectively, and such circumstances exist for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, such shareholder will notify Coca-Cola HBC and the other shareholder in writing of the identity of the director to be removed and will procure that such director resigns with immediate effect.

5.3 Committees

If Kar-Tess Holding's shareholding is at least 10 per cent. and the TCCC Shareholder's shareholding is at least 10 per cent., one Kar-Tess Nominated Director and one TCCC Nominated Director, respectively, shall sit on each of the Nomination Committee and the Strategy Committee (as described below).

5.4 Appointment of the Chairperson

Under the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement, the procedures governing the appointment and removal of any subsequent Chairperson depend on whether Kar-Tess Holding's shareholding in Coca-Cola HBC is at least 10 per cent.

If Kar-Tess Holding's shareholding is at least 10 per cent., Kar-Tess Holding will have the right to nominate a Kar-Tess Nominated Director as Chairperson, subject to prior consultation with the TCCC Shareholder (provided the TCCC Shareholder's shareholding is at least 10 per cent.). If such nominee is not recommended by the Nomination Committee, proposed for election by the Board or elected by the shareholders of Coca-Cola HBC, then Kar-Tess Holding shall be entitled to nominate a replacement Kar-Tess Nominated Director as Chairperson and if such replacement is not elected by the shareholders of Coca-Cola HBC then the Nomination Committee shall nominate a candidate to be appointed as Chairperson and the Board shall propose such nominee for election by the shareholders of Coca-Cola HBC.

If Kar-Tess Holding's shareholding is below 10 per cent., the nomination of the Chairperson will be made solely by the Nomination Committee.

5.5 Appointment of the Chief Executive Officer

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement provides that, if Kar-Tess Holding's shareholding is at least 10 per cent., Kar-Tess Holding may propose one or more candidates as Chief Executive Officer for evaluation and recommendation by the Nomination Committee to the Board for approval. For so long as the TCCC Shareholder's shareholding is at least 10 per cent., the appointment and performance review of the Chief Executive Officer will be subject to Enhanced Oversight (save that for such purposes the Chief Executive Officer shall not be entitled to attend or vote at the Strategy Committee).

5.9 Information rights

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement provides that Coca-Cola HBC will provide the TCCC Shareholder and Kar-Tess Holding with certain information rights to assist them with the management and accounting of their respective interests in Coca-Cola HBC.

If:

  • an insolvency event occurs in relation to the TCCC Shareholder or Kar-Tess Holding;

then such shareholder shall have committed an event of default, and the defaulting shareholder shall no longer be entitled to exercise the powers or rights granted to it pursuant to the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement.

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company and CCHBV have agreed to acquire: (i) a 41.52 per cent. equity interest in CCBA from TCCC Sellers for USD 1.3 billion in cash (the "TCCC Acquisition"); and (ii) a 33.48 per cent. equity interest in CCBA from GFI (representing GFI's entire interest in CCBA) for approximately USD 308 million in cash and 21'027'676 Company registered shares (the "Purchase Consideration Shares"; such acquisition the "GFI Acquisition"; and the GFI Acquisition together with the TCCC Acquisition, the "Acquisition"). At the time of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the equity value for 100 per cent. of CCBA was valued at USD 3.4 billion.

In addition: (i) TCCC-1 has agreed to grant CCHBV a call option with a five-year call period, exercisable between three and five years following completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Completion") under which CCHBV will be able to purchase up to the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA which will still be owned by TCCC-1 following Completion (the "Call Option"); and (ii) CCHBV has agreed to grant TCCC-1 a put option enabling TCCC-1 to sell its remaining equity interest in CCBA to CCHBV between three and a half and six years following Completion (the "Put Option", together with the Call Option, the "CCBA Option"; and the agreement underlying the CCBA Option, the Option Agreement (as defined in the proposed amendments to the Articles); the Acquisition and the CCBA Option together the "Transaction"). As announced on 21 October 2025, certain matters in the context of the Transaction must be approved by the shareholders as set out below.

Finally, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company agreed the terms of a shareholders' agreement with Coca-Cola HBC Grouping Inc. (the "TCCC Shareholder"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company ("TCCC"), and Kar-Tess Holding to be entered into at Completion to regulate certain aspects of the Company's governance post-Completion (the "Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement").

To give effect to the Acquisition, the Company must be able to issue new Company registered shares and also seeks the flexibility to use a certain number of own Company registered shares. The Company also seeks the flexibility to issue new Company registered shares and/or use a certain number of Company registered shares held in treasury in connection with the CCBA Option. Furthermore, certain amendments need to be made to the Company's articles of association (the "Articles") to give effect to the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement. The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") therefore seeks the approval of the shareholders with regard to the matters set forth under the title "Proposals of the Board of Directors" below.

Introductory Remarks: Information on the Transaction

The Sale and Purchase Agreement

As announced on 21 October 2025, the Company agreed to acquire 75 per cent. of the equity interest of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Pty Ltd ("CCBA") by entering into a sale and purchase agreement dated 21 October 2025 between the Company, Coca-Cola HBC Holdings BV ("CCHBV"), European Refreshments Unlimited Company ("TCCC-1") and Coca-Cola Holdings Africa Ltd ("CCHA", together with TCCC-1, the "TCCC Sellers"), Gutsche Family Investments Pty Ltd ("GFI") and CCBA (the "Sale and Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company and CCHBV have agreed to acquire: (i) a 41.52 per cent. equity interest in CCBA from TCCC Sellers for USD 1.3 billion in cash (the "TCCC Acquisition"); and (ii) a 33.48 per cent. equity interest in CCBA from GFI (representing GFI's entire interest in CCBA) for approximately USD 308 million in cash and 21'027'676 Company registered shares (the "Purchase Consideration Shares"; such acquisition, the "GFI Acquisition"; and the GFI Acquisition together with the TCCC Acquisition, the "Acquisition"). At the time of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the equity value for 100 per cent. of CCBA was valued at USD 3.4 billion.

The Board of Directors intends to source the Purchase Consideration Shares through the issuance of new Company registered shares from a capital band and/or which the Company may in part satisfy through the use and transfer of existing shares of the Company held in treasury. The introduction of the new art. 6a and art. 10a of the Articles, as proposed in agenda items 1 and 2, grant the Board of Directors the flexibility to determine the appropriate allocation of newly issued Company registered shares and Company registered shares held in treasury (if any), while at the same time establishing the limits within which the Board of Directors may exercise such flexibility.

In order to (i) ensure that the necessary Purchase Consideration Shares are available for the Company at the completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Completion"); and (ii) grant the Board of Directors the flexibility to use newly issued Company registered shares only, or a combination of newly issued Company registered shares and Company registered shares held in treasury (if any), as Purchase Consideration Shares, the Board of Directors seeks shareholder approval for granting the Board of Directors the authority to increase the Company's share capital once or several times and issue up to a maximum of 21'027'676 new Company registered shares and/or use and transfer up to a maximum of 6'301'533 Company registered shares held in treasury (the "Treasury Consideration Shares") for the purpose of the GFI Acquisition. For this purpose, it is proposed that the Articles be amended (see agenda item 1 and agenda item 2). The number of Purchase Consideration Shares to be newly issued to GFI and/or used in the context of the GFI Acquisition was calculated based on the value of CCBA at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the 30-trading day volumeweighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company registered shares at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement .

The CCBA Option

In addition: (i) TCCC-1 has agreed to grant CCHBV a call option with a five-year call period, exercisable between three and five years following Completion under which CCHBV will be able to purchase up to the remaining 25 per cent. equity interest in CCBA which will still be owned by TCCC-1 following Completion (the "Call Option"); and (ii) CCHBV has agreed to grant TCCC-1 a put option enabling TCCC-1 to sell its remaining equity interest in CCBA to CCHBV between three and a half and six years following Completion (the "Put Option"; together with the Call Option, the "CCBA Option" and the agreement underlying the CCBA Option, the Option Agreement (as defined in the proposed amendments to the Articles); the Acquisition and the CCBA Option together the "Transaction").

On the full or partial exercise of the Call Option or the exercise of the Put Option, respectively, under the CCBA Option, whether in a single exercise or through multiple exercises of the Call Option or the exercise of the Put Option, respectively (the "Option Exercise(s)"), the consideration payable is the purchase price per ordinary share of CCBA paid to the TCCC Sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement and an applicable coupon, in cash. The applicable coupon for the Call Option shall be an amount equal to the interest calculated at the rate specified below (calculated on a daily basis in USD) capitalised annually for the period commencing from Completion until the relevant date of the Option Exercise(s):

  • for the period until the first anniversary of Completion, 2.75 per cent. per annum;
  • for the period commencing from the first anniversary of Completion until the third anniversary of Completion, 3 per cent. per annum; and
  • for the period commencing from the third anniversary of Completion until the fifth anniversary of Completion, 4.2 per cent. per annum.

The applicable coupon for the Put Option shall be an amount equal to the interest calculated at the rate specified below (calculated on a daily basis in USD) capitalised annually for the period commencing from Completion until the relevant date of the Option Exercise(s):

  • for the period until the first anniversary of Completion, 2.75 per cent. per annum;
  • for the period commencing from the first anniversary of Completion until the third anniversary of Completion, 3 per cent. per annum; and
  • for the period commencing from the third anniversary of Completion until the sixth anniversary of Completion, 4.1 per cent. per annum.

At the election of the Company, and subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the CCBA Option to the Company, the consideration for the CCBA shares may be settled in Company registered shares through the issue of new Company registered shares and/or use and transfer Company registered shares held in treasury (together the "Option Consideration Shares") with the price per Company registered share based on the VWAP for the period of 30 trading days prior to (and including) the date of the Option Exercise(s). In order to ensure that: (i) the Company is able to settle the consideration in Option Consideration Shares; and (ii) the Board of Directors has the flexibility to determine the appropriate allocation of newly issued Company registered shares and Company registered shares held in treasury (if any), the Board of Directors seeks shareholder approval for providing the Board of Directors with an authority to increase the Company's share capital and issue up to a maximum of 15'323'113 new Company registered shares and/or use and transfer up to a maximum of 6'301'533 Company registered shares held in treasury less the number of Treasury Consideration Shares, if any, used and transferred to GFI in connection with Completion (see agenda item 1 and agenda item 2).

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement

Finally, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company agreed to terms of a shareholders' agreement with Coca-Cola HBC Grouping Inc. (the "TCCC Shareholder"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company ("TCCC"), and Kar-Tess Holding to be entered into at Completion to regulate certain aspects of the Company's governance post-Completion (the "Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement"). Under the current art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles, certain matters require the approval of a qualified quorum and qualified majority of the Board of Directors. In respect of these matters, decisions require: (i) a quorum of at least eight directors present, or, if the Board of Directors comprises fewer than ten directors, a quorum of three-quarters of all directors; and (ii) the approval by the votes of two-thirds of the directors present and entitled to vote ("Qualified Quorum/Majority"). With effect from the date on which Completion is published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce, the existing provisions of art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles will be disapplied and be superseded by the provisions of the new art. 28 para. 2bis and art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles and a new art. 29bis of the Articles will be introduced:

  • The new art. 28 para. 2bis of the Articles will provide for a list of matters that require approval by the Qualified Quorum/Majority of the Board of Directors;
  • The new art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles will provide for a list of matters that require Enhanced Oversight (as defined below) in addition to the approval by the Qualified Quorum/Majority of the Board of Directors; and
  • The new art. 29bis of the Articles will authorise and instruct the Board of Directors to establish the Strategy Committee (as defined below).

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement provides for the establishment of a strategy committee comprising the chief executive officer of the Company and – as long as each of them holds at least 10 per cent of the issued Company registered shares – one member of the Board of Directors nominated by Kar-Tess Holding and one member of the Board of Directors nominated by TCCC (the "Strategy Committee"). The Strategy Committee shall have the authority to consider and prepare a recommendation on certain strategic matters of the Company prior to consideration and determination of such matters by the Board of Directors; furthermore, the decisions of the Strategy Committee must be taken unanimously ("Enhanced Oversight"). The Board of Directors will consult with the Strategy Committee and have regard to its recommendations prior to making decisions on matters subject to Enhanced Oversight. The introduction of art. 29bis of the Articles will authorise and instruct the Board of Directors to establish the Strategy Committee for such purpose and provide that its composition, duties and powers will be determined by the Board of Directors in the organisational regulations of the Company ("Organisational Regulations") (see agenda item 3).

As announced on 21 October 2025, certain matters in the context of the Transaction must be approved by the shareholders as set out below.

Explanation:

In the Sale and Purchase Agreement it was agreed that the consideration payable to GFI includes 21'027'676 Company registered shares (defined as Purchase Consideration Shares, see the introductory remarks to this Notice). The Purchase Consideration Shares shall primarily be sourced by increasing the Company's share capital and issuing new Company registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 6.70. In order to ensure that the Company may at Completion increase the Company's share capital and issue up to 21'027'676 new Company registered shares, the Board of Directors seeks shareholder authority to introduce a capital band pursuant to a new Art. 6a in the Articles giving the Board of Directors the authority to issue up to a maximum of 21'027'676 new Company registered shares in connection with the GFI Acquisition and against the contribution in kind of a maximum of 1'416'323 CCBA B ordinary shares from GFI and within the terms as set forth in the capital band provision. In particular, the shareholders shall authorise the Board of Directors as follows:

  • The Board of Directors shall determine: (i) the actual number of Purchase Consideration Shares to be newly issued to GFI in connection with the Completion (such actual number the "New Purchase Consideration Shares"): and correspondingly (ii) the actual number of B ordinary shares in CCBA that are to be contributed to the Company by GFI in connection with Completion (such actual number the "GFI Contributed CCBA Shares") by considering that the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued to GFI in exchange for the GFI Contributed CCBA Shares according to the Sale and Purchase Agreement is based on (aa) the valuation of CCBA set at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, being USD 3.4 billion (subject to certain downward adjustments for leakage as set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement) and (bb) the valuation of the Company, i.e. the value of the New Purchase Consideration Shares set at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement – it being understood that the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares set by the Board of Directors determines, in accordance with the agreed ratio, the corresponding number of GFI Contributed CCBA Shares (and any CCBA B ordinary shares that have not been contributed, if any, may be exchanged against Treasury Consideration Shares, see agenda item 2). The value of CCBA (subject to certain downward adjustments for leakage based on the Sale and Purchase Agreement) and/or the Company may change after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement until Completion (which is targeted to occur by the end of 2026 but may also occur later between 2027 and 2028, depending on the time the required regulatory approvals are satisfied). The authorisation provided by the shareholders to the Board of Directors does not allow the Board of Directors to take into account such changes in value of CCBA (subject to certain pre-completion adjustments for leakage based on the Sale and Purchase Agreement) and/or the Company when determining the actual number of Purchase Consideration Shares to be issued to GFI and the number of GFI Contributed CCBA Shares to be contributed to the Company, both in connection with the Completion.
  • The issue price for each New Purchase Consideration Share shall be equal to the Swiss Franc amount of the value of the GFI Contributed CCBA Shares at the time of Completion divided by the number of New Purchase Consideration Shares. The market price of the New Purchase Consideration Shares at the time of Completion will not be taken into account, even if this means that the New Purchase Consideration Shares are issued at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Company registered shares at the Completion date.
  • To withdraw the subscription rights of the existing shareholders when issuing the New Purchase Consideration Shares to GFI.

The consideration payable to TCCC-1 on the Option Exercise(s) is the purchase price per ordinary share of CCBA paid to the TCCC Sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement and an applicable coupon as set forth in the Option Agreement (see description in the introductory remarks of this Notice). The Company expects that any consideration will be satisfied in cash but, at the election of the Company, partly in newly issued Company registered shares (referred to as the Option Consideration Shares), provided CCHBV assigns, novates and/or transfers its rights and obligations under the Option Agreement to the Company. In such case, the Board of Directors shall also be authorised to increase the Company's share capital and issue up to 15'323'113 new Company registered shares in connection with the Option Exercise(s) against the contribution in kind of a maximum of 1'386'020 CCBA E ordinary shares from TCCC-1 and within the terms as set forth in the capital band provision. In particular, the shareholders shall authorise the Board of Directors as follows:

  • The Board of Directors shall determine: (i) the actual number of Option Consideration Shares to be issued to TCCC-1 in connection with the Option Exercise(s) (such actual number the "New Option Consideration Shares"); and correspondingly (ii) the actual number of CCBA E ordinary shares to be contributed by TCCC-1 to the Company (such actual number the "TCCC-1 Contributed CCBA Shares") in connection with the exercise(s) of the Option Agreement according to the Option Agreement, based on (aa) the valuation of CCBA at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement – subject to certain adjustments based on mechanisms set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement and adding a coupon calculated in accordance with the Option Agreement (as described in the introductory remarks of this Notice) – and any changes in the value of CCBA, that occur after the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, will not be taken into account and (bb) the price per Company registered share based on the VWAP for the period of 30 trading days prior to (and including) the date of the Option Exercise(s) – it being understood that the number of New Option Consideration Shares set by the Board of Directors determines, in accordance with the agreed ratio, the corresponding number of TCCC-1 Contributed CCBA Shares (and any CCBA E ordinary shares that have not been contributed, if any, may be exchanged against Treasury Consideration Shares, see agenda item 2 in this Notice). Considering that Option Exercise(s), if any, will only occur several years after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the value of CCBA and/or the Company may be different at the time of the Option Exercise(s) than at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The authorisation of the Board of Directors does not allow the Board of Directors to take into account any changes in value of CCBA (subject to certain adjustments based on mechanisms set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement and adding a coupon calculated in accordance with the Option Agreement) when determining the number of New Option Consideration Shares to be issued to TCCC-1 in connection with the Option Exercise(s).
  • The issue price of each New Option Consideration Share shall be equal to the Swiss Franc amount of the value of the TCCC-1 Contributed CCBA Shares at the time of the Option Exercise(s) divided by the number of New Option Consideration Shares.
  • To withdraw the subscription rights of the existing shareholders when issuing the New Option Consideration Shares to TCCC-1.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, in case the consideration payable under the Option Agreement shall (partly) be paid in Option Consideration Shares instead of cash, the value per New Option Consideration Share shall be based on the VWAP for the period of 30 trading days prior to (and including) the date of the Option Exercise(s) converted into USD (pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement). Depending on the market price of the Company registered shares as per the date of the Option Exercise(s), the authority to issue up to 15'323'113 new Company registered shares may not be sufficient to cover the entire consideration under the Option Agreement (and would also not be sufficient based on the valuation of CCBA and the Company's share price at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement). The number of new Company registered shares the Board of Directors is authorised to issue in connection with the Option Agreement has been set at 15'323'113 new Company registered shares in order to limit the total number of new Company registered shares that may be issued in connection with the Transaction (i.e. including the up to 21'027'676 Company ordinary shares that may be issued in connection with the GFI Acquisition) so as not to exceed 10% of the current issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as at the date of this Notice. This shall limit the potential dilution of the current shareholders through the issue of new shares. As a result, if and when there are any Option Exercise(s), any part of the consideration under the Option Agreement that the Board of Directors cannot (or does not wish to) satisfy with newly issued Company registered shares, will have to be satisfied in cash or Treasury Consideration Shares.

A further explanation for agenda item 1 as well further background to the GFI Acquisition and the Option Agreement is contained in the introductory remarks to this Notice and paragraph 11.3.1 of Part I (Letter from the Chairman) of the Circular. Furthermore, please also refer to the following sections of the Circular concerning the risk factors (see "Part II: Risk Factors"), a summary of the key Transaction terms (see "Part III: Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms") and a summary of the amendments to the Articles (see "Part V: Summary of the Amendments to the Articles").

This resolution is conditional upon the approval by the Company shareholders of the proposals of the Board of Directors as set out in agenda items 2 and 3.

Agenda item 2: Introduction of a new art. 10a in the Articles of Association to permit the use and transfer of a certain number of the Company's registered shares held in treasury by excluding existing preemptive rights of shareholders in connection with the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement

Motion2 :

The Board of Directors proposes to introduce a new art. 10a in the Articles of Association as set forth below to permit the use and transfer of a maximum of, in total, 6'301'533 existing Company registered shares held in treasury (the "Treasury Consideration Shares") as follows: (i) a maximum of 6'301'533 Treasury Consideration Shares to GFI in exchange for a maximum of 1'416'323 CCBA B ordinary shares in connection with the implementation of the acquisition of 1'855'932 CCBA B ordinary shares from GFI pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement and (ii) a maximum of all Treasury Consideration Shares, which have not been used and transferred to GFI in connection with the completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement in exchange for a maximum of 1'386'020 CCBA E ordinary shares in connection with the implementation of the Option Agreement, whereby the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders are excluded for each of these transfers. This resolution is conditional upon the approval by the shareholders' meeting of the proposals of the Board of Directors set out in agenda items 1 and 3.

2 The defined terms used in this motion have the meaning given to them in the new art. 10a of the Articles.

Explanation:

In the Sale and Purchase Agreement it is agreed that the consideration payable to GFI for the GFI Acquisition includes 21'027'676 Company registered shares (defined as Purchase Consideration Shares, see the introductory remarks to this Notice). The Board of Directors wishes to be granted flexibility to determine the appropriate allocation of newly issued Company registered shares and Company registered shares held in treasury (if any), subject to certain limits. Therefore, in addition to the authority to increase the Company's share capital and issue up to a maximum of 21'027'676 new Company registered shares in connection with the GFI Acquisition (see agenda item 1 of this Notice), the Board of Directors also seeks shareholder approval for introducing a new art. 10a into the Articles providing the Board of Directors with the authority to use and transfer up to a maximum of 6'301'533 Company registered shares held in treasury (the "Treasury Consideration Shares") for the purpose of the Transaction.

Pursuant to art. 10 para. 2 of the Articles, the existing shareholders have pre-emptive rights in proportion to their shareholding with regard to own shares or options, futures or similar financial instruments on own shares that the Company resells, either directly or through subsidiaries. For the purpose of the GFI Acquisition, the Board of Directors seeks the authorisation from the shareholders: (i) to use and transfer the Treasury Consideration Shares in exchange for a maximum of 1'416'323 CCBA B ordinary shares from GFI; and (ii) to withdraw the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders, subject to the terms as set forth in the new art. 10a of the Articles. In particular, the shareholders shall authorise the Board of Directors as follows:

  • The Board of Directors shall determine: (i) the actual number of Treasury Consideration Shares to be transferred to GFI in connection with Completion (such actual number the "Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares"); and correspondingly (ii) the actual number of CCBA B ordinary shares that are to be transferred to the Company in exchange for Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares (such actual number the "GFI Transferred CCBA Shares"), considering that the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred to GFI in exchange for the GFI Transferred CCBA Shares is based on (aa) the valuation of CCBA set at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, being USD 3.4 billion (subject to certain downward adjustments for leakage based on the Sale and Purchase Agreement) and (bb) the valuation of the Company, i.e. the value of the Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares, set at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, it being understood that the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares set by the Board of Directors determines, in accordance with the agreed ratio, the corresponding number of GFI Transferred CCBA Shares. The value of CCBA and/or the Company may change after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement until Completion (which is targeted to occur by the end of 2026 but may also occur later between 2027 and 2028, depending on the time the required regulatory approvals are satisfied). The authorisation of the Board of Directors does not allow the Board of Directors to take into account such changes in value of CCBA and/or the Company when determining the actual number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares to be transferred to GFI in connection with the GFI Acquisition and the number of GFI Transferred CCBA Shares to be transferred to the Company in connection with the GFI Acquisition.
  • To exclude the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders as per art. 10 para. 2 of the Articles for the Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares.

The number of Treasury Consideration Shares which the Board of Directors is authorised to transfer in connection with the Transaction has been set at 6'301'533 which is the number of own Company registered shares that the Company held in treasury as at 12 December 2025. It is to be noted that even if the Board of Directors decides to use and transfer all Treasury Consideration Shares (i.e. 6'301'533 Company treasury shares) for the purpose of the GFI Acquisition, this would likely not constitute a sufficient number of Purchase Consideration Shares to exchange for all 1'416'323 CCBA B ordinary shares, neither based on the values at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement nor in the future. The Purchase Consideration Shares will therefore likely not be sourced exclusively through the Treasury Consideration

Shares. Thus, if Treasury Consideration Shares were used and transferred for the purpose of the GFI Acquisition, the Board of Directors would have to increase at the same time also the Company's share capital and issue new Company registered shares pursuant to the capital band provision set forth in art. 6a of the Articles (see agenda item 1 of this Notice).

The consideration payable to TCCC-1 on the Option Exercise(s) is the purchase price per ordinary share of CCBA paid to the TCCC Sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement and an applicable coupon (as described in the introductory remarks of this Notice). This consideration is to be settled in cash and may include Company registered shares (defined as the Option Consideration Shares, see the introductory remarks of this Notice), subject to CCHBV assigning, novating and/or transferring its rights and obligations under the Option Agreement to the Company. To ensure that the Board of Directors has the necessary flexibility and may, instead of new Company registered shares (see agenda item 1), also use and transfer Company registered shares held in treasury, the Board of Directors further seeks the authorisation by the shareholders to use and transfer a maximum of all Treasury Consideration Shares, which have not been used and transferred to GFI in connection with Completion according to art.10a(a)(i) of the Articles, to TCCC-1 in exchange for a maximum of 1'386'020 CCBA E ordinary shares from TCCC-1. In particular, the shareholders shall authorise the Board of Directors as follows:

  • The Board of Directors shall determine: (i) the actual number of Treasury Consideration Shares to be transferred to TCCC-1 in connection with the Option Exercise(s) (such actual number the "Treasury Option Consideration Shares"); and correspondingly (ii) the actual number of CCBA E ordinary shares to be transferred by TCCC-1 to the Company in connection with the Option Exercise(s) (the "TCCC-1 Transferred CCBA Shares"), based on (aa) the valuation of CCBA at the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement – subject to certain adjustments based on mechanisms set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement and adding a coupon calculated in accordance with the Option Agreement (as described in the introductory remarks of this Notice) – and any changes in the value of CCBA, that occur after the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, will not be taken into account and (bb) the price per Company share based on the VWAP for the period of 30 trading days prior to (and including) the date of the Option Exercise(s) – it being understood that the number of Treasury Purchase Consideration Shares set by the Board of Directors determines, in accordance with the agreed ratio, the corresponding number of TCCC-1 Transferred CCBA Shares. Considering that the Option Exercise(s), if any, will only occur at least three years after Completion, the value of CCBA and/or the Company may be different at the time of the Option Exercise(s) from the time of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The authorisation of the Board of Directors does not allow the Board of Directors to take into account any changes in value of CCBA (subject to certain adjustments based on mechanisms set forth in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Option Agreement and adding a coupon calculated in accordance with the Option Agreement) when determining the number of Treasury Option Consideration Shares to be issued to TCCC-1 in connection with the Option Exercise(s).
  • To exclude the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders as per art. 10 para. 2 of the Articles for the Treasury Option Consideration Shares.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, in case the consideration payable under the Option Agreement shall be (partly) paid in Option Consideration Shares instead of cash, the price per Treasury Option Consideration Share shall be based on the VWAP for the period of 30 trading days prior to (and including) the date of the Option Exercise(s) converted into USD (pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement), as the case may be. Depending on the market price of the Company registered shares as per the date of the Option Exercise(s), the authority to use and transfer the maximum of all Treasury Consideration Shares (i.e. up to 6'301'533 Company treasury shares) which have not been used and transferred to GFI in connection with Completion of the GFI Acquisition may not be sufficient to cover the consideration under the Option Agreement.

Further explanation to agenda item 2, as well as further background to the GFI Acquisition and the Option Agreement, is contained in the introductory remarks to this Notice and in paragraph 11.3.2 of Part 1 (Letter from the Chairman) of the Circular. Furthermore, please also refer to the following sections of the Circular concerning the risk factors (see "Part II: Risk Factors"), a summary of the key Transaction terms (see "Part III: Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms") and a summary of the amendments to the articles (see "Part V: Summary of the Amendments to the Articles").

This resolution is conditional upon the approval by the Company shareholders of the proposals of the Board of Directors as set out in agenda items 1 and 3.

Agenda item 3: Amendment of art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles of Association and the introduction of new art. 28 para. 2bis, art. 28 para. 2ter and art. 29bis in the Articles of Association for the purpose of effecting certain governance related changes in line with the Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement with effect upon completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement

Motion3 :

The Board of Directors proposes to amend art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles of Association and to introduce new art. 28 para. 2bis, art. 28 para. 2ter and art. 29bis in the Articles of Association as set forth below (amendments and new introduction underlined). This resolution is conditional upon the approval by the shareholders' meeting of the proposals of the Board of Directors set out in agenda items 1 and 2.

3 The defined terms used in this motion have the meaning given to them in the amended art. 28 and the new art. 29bis of the Articles.

Strategy Committee

This article 29bis shall enter into force on the date on which the consummation of the Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 21 October 2025 between the Company and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Coca-Cola HBC Holdings BV, as purchasers and Gutsche Family Investments Pty Ltd, European Refreshments Unlimited Company, and Coca-Cola Holdings Africa Ltd as sellers as well as The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Pty Ltd ("CCBA") relating to the acquisition of a total of 75% of the shares in CCBA is published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce.

The Board of Directors shall establish a Strategy Committee which shall advise and support the Board of Directors in the consideration of strategic matters. The Board of Di-

gelt die Zusammensetzung, die Aufgaben und die Kompetenzen des Strategieausschusses im Organisationsreglement.

rectors shall determine the composition, duties and powers of the Strategy Committee in the Organisational Regulations.

Explanation:

Under the current art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles, certain matters require the approval of a qualified quorum and qualified majority of the Board of Directors. In respect of these matters, decisions require: (i) a quorum of at least eight directors present, or, if the Board of Directors comprises fewer than ten directors, a quorum of three-quarters of all directors; and (ii) the approval by the votes of two-thirds of the directors present and entitled to vote ("Qualified Quorum/Majority").

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement will, with effect from Completion, regulate certain aspects of the Company's governance. The corresponding changes to the Articles are as follows:

  • The existing provisions of art. 28 para. 2 of the Articles would be disapplied and be superseded by the provisions of the new art. 28 para. 2bis and art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles and a new art. 29bis of the Articles will be introduced.
  • The new art. 28 para. 2bis of the Articles will provide for a list of matters that continue to require approval by the Qualified Quorum/Majority of the Board of Directors.
  • The new art. 28 para. 2ter of the Articles will provide for a list of matters that require Enhanced Oversight (as defined below) in addition to the approval by the Qualified Quorum/Majority of the Board of Directors.
  • The new art. 29bis of the Articles will authorise and instruct the Board of Directors to establish the Strategy Committee (as defined below).

The Coca-Cola HBC Shareholder Agreement provides for the establishment of a strategy committee comprising of the chief executive officer of the Company and – as long as each of them holds at least 10 per cent of the issued Company registered shares – one member of the Board of Directors nominated by Kar-Tess Holding and one member of the Board of Directors nominated by TCCC (the "Strategy Committee"). The Strategy Committee shall consider and prepare a recommendation on certain strategic matters of the Company prior to consideration and determination of such matters by the Board of Directors; further the decisions of the Strategy Committee must be taken unanimously "Enhanced Oversight"). The Board of Directors will consult with the Strategy Committee and have regard to its recommendations prior to making decisions on matters subject to Enhanced Oversight. The introduction of art. 29bis of the Articles will authorise and instruct the Board of Directors to establish the Strategy Committee for such purpose and provide that its composition, duties and powers will be determined by the Board of Directors in the organisational regulations of the Company ("Organisational Regulations").

In case Completion does not occur, no publication will be made in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce and hence art. 28 para.2 of the Articles will not be disapplied and art. 28 para. 2bis, art. 28 para. 2ter and art. 29bis of the Articles will not enter into force.

Any further explanation for agenda item 3 is contained in the introductory remarks to this Notice, paragraph 11.3.3 of (Letter from the Chairman) of the Circular. Furthermore, please also refer to the following sections of the Circular concerning the risk factors (see "Part II: Risk Factors"), a summary of the key Transaction terms (see "Part III: Summary of the Key Acquisition Terms"), and a summary of the amendments to the articles (see "Part V: Summary of the Amendments to the Articles").

This resolution is conditional upon the approval by the Company shareholders of the proposals of the Board of Directors as set out in agenda items 1 and 2.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors:

The Board of Directors is of the opinion that all the proposals to be considered and voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board of Directors unanimously (except for recusals of certain members of the Board of Directors due to conflict of interests) recommends that you vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions, and the Directors who hold shares in the Company intend to do so in respect of their own direct beneficial holdings in the Company.

Organisational matters and Participation in the Extraordinary General Meeting

(a) Registered Shareholders

Shareholders registered in the share register with voting rights on 13 January 2026 at 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT) will be entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. They may elect to vote either by way of personal attendance or by a representative in accordance with the terms set out below. Registration in the share register with voting rights may be time consuming and shareholders wishing to vote are encouraged to duly apply for registration as soon as possible. The last business day on which registration requests will be processed is 12 January 2026.

Registered shareholders will receive a reply form together with this Notice, which includes the web address (URL) and your username and password for the online proxy voting platform that shareholders may use in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders who are entered in the share register as shareholders with voting rights after 2 January 2026 but before 13 January 2026, 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT) will be sent this Notice and the reply form upon request only.

If you are a registered shareholder and elect to give voting instructions or to order an admission card electronically via the online proxy voting platform; please register online by using the URL and your username and password printed on the reply form. You may then appoint the Independent Proxy and give voting instructions electronically or order an admission card electronically by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026 at the latest.

If you are a registered shareholder and elect to return the printed reply form, please return it as soon as possible and by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026 at the latest to Coca-Cola HBC AG, c/o sharecomm ag, Postfach, CH-6010 Kriens 2, Switzerland. Please note the section "Signing of reply forms" below. Preparation for the Extraordinary General Meeting will be facilitated by the prompt return of your reply form.

If registered shareholders increase their shareholding registered in the share register with voting rights by 12 January 2026 (close of business), proxies and voting instructions will be amended automatically without any further notice and will extend to the additionally registered shares. If the shareholding eligible for voting increases or decreases after issuance of the admission card, shareholders will receive a new admission card upon registration at the information desk of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Shareholders who dispose of their shares prior to 13 January 2026, 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT) are not entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Previously issued admission cards, as well as proxies will become invalid automatically. Shareholders who dispose of their shares after 13 January 2026, 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT), remain entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

(b) CDI Attendants

In connection with the admission of the Company's shares to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category and to trading on the London Stock Exchange, the Company entered into arrangements enabling investors to hold, transfer and settle interests in the Company's shares in the form of CREST depositary interests ("CDIs"). CDIs are independent uncertificated securities constituted under English law, allowing the electronic settlement of trades in the Company registered shares via the CREST system operated by Euroclear UK & International Limited. Each CDI represents one Company ordinary share.

The following persons (referred to as "CDI Attendants"), who are:

  • CREST members holding CDIs as beneficial owner;
  • CREST members holding CDIs who act upon instructions from the beneficial owners (nominees), provided that they disclose the name, address and shareholding of such beneficial owners; or
  • beneficial owners (other than CREST members) of CDIs who can establish through which nominees they hold their CDIs and disclose their name, address and shareholding,

are entitled to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, be represented by a proxy or by the Independent Proxy, and to cast their votes where they are the subject of an omnibus proxy expected to be granted by CREST International Nominees Limited in favour of such CDI Attendants.

CREST members who are entered in the CDI register maintained under the operation of Euroclear UK & International Limited (the "CDI Register") will receive a reply form together with this Notice, which includes the web address (URL) and the username and password for the online proxy voting platform that such CREST members may use in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting. Those members, or the beneficial owners of CDIs, should use the reply form to order admission cards, appoint a proxy or instruct the Independent Proxy. All nominees are requested to forward copies of this Notice and the reply form (except for the access details to the online proxy voting platform, which they should treat as confidential and blacken or otherwise efface) immediately to the beneficial owners of CDIs and to thereby clearly indicate the nominee's address for reply mail. Beneficial owners of CDIs are requested to follow the instructions of the CREST member through whom they hold their CDIs and to return any forms or voting instructions to such CREST member.

Preparation for the Extraordinary General Meeting will be facilitated by the prompt return of your reply form. Beneficial owners of CDIs should return them as soon as possible to their nominees, and CREST members should return them by mail as soon as possible and, in any event no later than by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026, or a date required by the nominee, to the nominee from whom they received it. Processing of reply forms including beneficial ownership declarations received by mail may be time consuming and cannot be guaranteed if reply forms are received later than by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026. Please note the section "Signing of reply forms" below.

Instead of returning the reply form by mail, CREST members may also return it via the online proxy voting platform. In such case, please register online by using the URL and your username and password printed on the reply form. You may then scan and upload the printed and signed reply form. Please submit the reply form electronically as soon as possible and by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026 at the latest. Note that this electronic platform is only available for use by CREST members and not for beneficial owners of CDIs who hold their CDIs through a nominee.

Please note that, in addition to returning the reply card, to be eligible to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting (in person or by proxy), CDI attendants must also transfer their holding of CDIs (i.e. such balance of CDIs in respect of which they wish to vote) to an escrow balance in CREST by inputting a transfer to escrow instruction in CREST to settle by 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026 at the latest in accordance with the instructions set out in the corporate action bulletin to be published by Euroclear UK & International Limited on or around 17 December 2025 (available on the Euroclear UK & International Limited section of its website at: www.euroclear.com). Beneficial ownership of the CDIs will be unchanged by reason of the transfer to escrow. Such CDIs will be held by CREST Depository Limited under the control of and to the order of the Company (and, therefore, will not be available for any other settlement within the CREST system) until they are released from escrow, which will take place automatically on 16 January 2026 (to the extent practicable).

It is the sole responsibility of each CREST member and the beneficial owners for whom it acts as a nominee to ensure that the CDIs transferred into escrow are at least equal to the total number of CDIs for which voting rights are asserted by such CREST member and the beneficial owners for whom it acts as a nominee. If a beneficial owner gives voting instructions or returns a reply form to a CREST member, the Company recommends that such CREST member immediately transfers the required balance of CDIs into escrow to avoid any shortage of CDIs in escrow. If a CREST member fails to duly transfer a sufficient number of CDIs into escrow, all (and not only the exceeding) voting rights, reply forms and voting instructions relating to its CDIs will be disregarded, unless: (i) such CREST member has informed Coca-Cola HBC AG, c/o sharecomm ag, Postfach, CH-6010 Kriens 2, Switzerland, in writing by registered mail and by 14 January 2026, 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT) (time of receipt) which voting rights, reply forms and voting instructions relating to its CDIs and exceeding the balance of CDIs in escrow are to be disregarded and which are not; or (ii) if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that it can otherwise establish which voting rights, reply forms and/or voting instructions relating to such CDIs should be disregarded and which should not.

CREST members who will be entered in the CDI Register after 2 January 2026 but before 13 January 2026, 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 am GMT), will be sent this Notice and the reply form upon request only.

(c) DSS Holders

In connection with its secondary listing on the Athens Exchange, the Company registered shares may be held in book-entry form in the Greek dematerialised securities system ("DSS") in DSS accounts. Based on reporting of DSS account information, the Company registers in its share register all holders of Company registered shares in DSS accounts ("DSS Holders") as shareholders without voting rights from time to time. As registered shareholders, DSS Holders will generally be subject to the same rules as other registered shareholders, as set out in section (a) above, except as mentioned below. They will receive the same information as other registered shareholders (including the web address (URL) and a username and password for the online proxy voting platform) except that their reply form is designed so as to facilitate their registration in the share register with voting rights in order to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

To be eligible to vote, however, DSS Holders must explicitly declare on their reply form that they hold their shares as beneficial owners, i.e. in their own name and for their own account. By giving a beneficial ownership declaration, DSS Holders may be registered in the share register as shareholders with voting rights in accordance with art. 7 para. 2 of the Articles. Beneficial ownership declarations will also extend to additional shares acquired and registered by 12 January 2026.

Nominees who qualify as financial intermediaries under art. 7 para. 3 of the Articles may be eligible to vote provided they disclose the name, address and shareholding of all such beneficial owners upon whose voting instructions they act. On the reply form, DSS Holders will also consent to be requalified as shareholders without voting rights after the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If you are a DSS Holder and elect to register with voting rights, give voting instructions or to order an admission card electronically via the online proxy voting platform, please register online by using the URL and your username and password printed on the reply form. You may then appoint the Independent Proxy and give voting instructions electronically or order an admission card electronically by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026, at the latest. Note that if your DSS account information contains a mailing address indicating not you but a third party (including custodians and other representatives) as the addressee, you or such third party acting on your behalf will need to scan and upload the printed and signed reply form (plus, if applicable, a power of attorney, a sample of which is provided to such DSS Holders as annex 2 to their reply form) to the online proxy voting platform for authentication purposes (please also note the section "Signing of reply forms" below). Please contact your DSS operator if you would like to change your mailing address in your DSS account information.

If you are a DSS Holder and elect to return the printed reply form by mail, you are encouraged to return your reply form as soon as possible and in any event by 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026 at the latest to Coca-Cola HBC AG, c/o sharecomm ag, Postfach, CH-6010 Kriens 2, Switzerland. Processing of reply forms including registration requests and beneficial ownership declarations may be time consuming and cannot be guaranteed if reply forms are received later than 12:00 noon CET (11:00 a.m. GMT) on 14 January 2026.

In any event, the last business day before the voting record date on which registration requests on reply forms will be processed is 12 January 2026. Also, please note the section "Signing of reply forms" below.

If DSS Holders who declare to be the beneficial owner of their shares increase their shareholding recorded in DSS by 12 January 2026 (close of business), proxies and voting instructions will be amended automatically without any further notice and extend to the additionally registered shares. If the shareholding eligible for voting increases or decreases after issuance of the admission card, DSS Holders will receive a new admission card upon registration at the information desk of the Extraordinary General Meeting. DSS Holders who dispose of their shares in DSS by 12 January 2026 (close of business) are not entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. DSS Holders who dispose of their shares in DSS after 13 January 2026 at 09:30 a.m. CET (08:30 a.m. GMT) remain entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Signing ofreply forms

Reply forms submitted by mail or, if applicable, uploaded as a scan through the online proxy voting platform must be signed as follows:

  • by the relevant shareholder or CDI Attendant personally;
  • if such shareholder or CDI Attendant is a legal entity, by duly authorised representatives of such legal entity (typically stamped and signed by two authorised signatories);
  • if such shareholder or CDI Attendant is a minor or incapable to act, by its legal representative;
  • if any other persons, such as custodians, depositary banks, asset managers, DSS operators, financial intermediaries or any other representatives (other than nominees being shareholders or CDI holders of record who act in their own name), sign a reply form, the reply form must be accompanied by a written, dated and signed power of attorney by the relevant registered shareholder or CDI Attendant that in the view of the Company clearly evidences the authorisation to sign the reply form, including the matters contained therein, on such shareholder's or CDI Attendant's behalf. (In order to take account of the particularities of the Greek DSS, a sample of such a proxy is provided to certain DSS Holders as annex 2 to their reply form, as mentioned in the preceding section "Organisational matters and Participation in the Extraordinary General Meeting – DSS Holders".)

Note that pursuant to mandatory Swiss law, the Company is not permitted to admit any institutionalised form of representation, including representation based on foreign law or on general terms and conditions, by depositary banks or asset managers (other than nominees being shareholders or CDI holders of record) but may only admit custodians, depositary banks, asset managers, DSS operators, financial intermediaries if they act either in their own name or upon an express, written and signed power of attorney and upon instructions by the shareholder of record.

The Company has authority and responsibility to verify the due authorisation of signatories of the reply forms and any powers of attorney as it deems it required. In case of doubt, the Company retains the right to require, in its discretion, additional conclusive evidence on signature authority (such as excerpts from commercial registers, certificates of incumbency, written proxies specifically authorising the signatory to sign the reply form, etc.).

PhysicalAttendance

Registered shareholders (including DSS Holders) or CDI Attendants who wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting personally should apply for personal attendance by returning the reply card filled in accordingly.

In relation to registered shareholders, admission cards will be sent by mail starting 29 December 2025. Otherwise, shareholders may pick up the admission card at the information desk at the Extraordinary General Meeting upon photo identification.

In relation to CDI Attendants, admission cards will be available for pick-up at the information desk of the Extraordinary General Meeting. When picking up their admission card, CDI Attendants are requested to present photo identification.

Proxies

Shareholders and CDI Attendants who do not wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person can, in general, be represented as follows:

  • By the independent proxy, Ms. Ines Poeschel, Kellerhals Carrard Zürich KlG, Raemistrasse 5, CH-8024 Zurich, or, if she cannot attend, her representative (pursuant to art. 18 para. 3 of the Articles). Shareholders or CDI Attendants who wish to instruct the independent proxy must fill in the reply form accordingly or use the online proxy voting platform, as explained above. Please give general voting instructions by filling in the relevant section on the front side of the reply form or specific instructions by filling in the relevant section on the reverse side of the reply form. Without general or specific instructions, the independent proxy will abstain from voting, which will generally count as a "no"-vote under the Company's Articles.
  • By a third person based on written proxy. To grant authority to any such person, a shareholder or CDI Attendant must return the reply form after filling in the proxy section of the form and having provided the full name and address of the representative. Duly authorised representatives may pick up the admission card at the information desk if they can provide photo identification.
