to attend the AGM in person. Voting will take place exclusively through the
independent proxy. The participation of shareholders is very important to
Coca-Cola HBC and all shareholders are encouraged to participate in the AGM by
appointing the independent proxy, according to the details set out in the

total aggregate amount of the dividend will be capped at an amount of CHF
300,000,000. Payment of the dividend is anticipated to be made on 2 August
