     Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP)

    confirms admission to the FTSE 100 Index

CCEP is one of the world's leading consumer goods companies, operating
principally in the large and growing non-alcoholic ready to drink market
spanning 31 countries across Western Europe and Australia, Pacific and
Southeast Asia.

CCEP today notes the announcement issued on 5 March 2025 by FTSE Russell,
confirming that CCEP will be included as a constituent of the FTSE 100 and
FTSE All Share Indices from the close of business on Friday, 21 March 2025.

This follows (i) the announcement by FTSE Russell on 5 February 2025 that it
had assigned a UK nationality to CCEP for the purposes of FTSE UK Index Series
eligibility; and (ii) the announcement by CCEP on 15 November 2024 confirming
approval by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") of CCEP's transfer of
listing to the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the Official
List of the FCA.

Sol Daurella, Chair, said:

"Admission to the UK's blue chip index represents a significant milestone for
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. It is also a moment to reflect on our
commitment to the British market, where Coca-Cola was first sold 125 years
ago, and our confidence in CCEP's future."

Damian Gammell, CEO, said:

"Our inclusion in the FTSE 100 and All Share comes after another solid year of
delivery in 2024, which demonstrated the strength of our business and is
testament to our great people, brands and execution across our 31 markets. We
expect this move, alongside our proven track record of delivering shareholder
value, to make CCEP accessible to more investors."

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains statements, estimates or projections that constitute
"forward-looking statements" concerning the financial condition, performance,
results, guidance and outlook, dividends, consequences of mergers,
acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures, strategy and objectives of
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries (together CCEP or the
Group). Generally, the words "ambition", "target", "aim", "believe", "expect",
"intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "plan", "seek", "may", "could",
"would", "should", "might", "will", "forecast", "outlook", "guidance",
"possible", "potential", "predict", "objective" and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in
nature.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks that could cause
actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are based upon
various assumptions as well as CCEP's historical experience and present
expectations or projections. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed
on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they
are made. Factors that, in CCEP's view, could cause such actual results to
differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2023 Annual Report
on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 15 March 2024 and subsequent filings,
including, but not limited to: changes in the marketplace; changes in
relationships with large customers; adverse weather conditions; importation of
other bottlers' products into our territories; deterioration of global and
local economic and political conditions; increases in costs of raw materials;
changes in interest rates or debt rating; deterioration in political unity
within the European Union; defaults of or failures by counterparty financial
institutions; changes in tax law in countries in which we operate; additional
levies of taxes; legal changes in our status; waste and pollution, health
concerns perceptions, and recycling matters related to packaging; global or
regional catastrophic events; cyberattacks against us or our customers or
suppliers; technology failures; initiatives to realise cost savings;
calculating infrastructure investment; executing on our acquisition strategy;
costs, limitations of supplies, and quality of raw materials; maintenance of
brand image and product quality; managing workplace health, safety and
security; water scarcity and regulations; climate change and legal and
regulatory responses thereto; other legal, regulatory and compliance
considerations; anti-corruption laws, regulations, and sanction programmes;
legal claims against suppliers; litigation and legal proceedings against us;
attracting, retaining and motivating employees; our relationship with TCCC and
other franchisors; and differing views among our shareholders.

Due to these risks, CCEP's actual future financial condition, results of
operations, and business activities, including its results, dividend payments,
capital and leverage ratios, growth, including growth in revenue, cost of
sales per unit case and operating profit, free cash flow, market share, tax
rate, efficiency savings, achievement of sustainability goals, including net
zero emissions and recycling initiatives, capital expenditures, may differ
materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in
forward-looking statements. These risks may also adversely affect CCEP's share
price. CCEP does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise, except as required under applicable rules, laws and
regulations.
