Notes:
1 Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes
received.
2 As at 4.30pm on Monday 22 May 2023, the time by which shareholders
who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the AGM must have been
entered on the Company's register of members, there were 458,846,191
ordinary shares in issue.
3 A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
4 Resolution 24 was put to the AGM as a resolution of the shareholders
of the Company other than Olive Partners, S.A. ("Olive") or any
concert party of Olive.
Resolution 24, being the ordinary resolution to approve the
waiver by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers under Rule 9 of the
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Rule 9 waiver") in
connection with the Company's buyback programme was duly passed by
78.07% of the votes cast by the independent shareholders of the
Company (being shareholders other than Olive and its presumed
concert parties) with 21.93% of votes against. Resolution 24 is a
standing agenda item at each Annual General Meeting to enable CCEP
to exercise the authorities under Resolution 28 to purchase its own
shares on market and Resolution 29 to purchase its own shares off
market, which were passed with majorities of 99.78% and 98.42%
respectively. This will enable CCEP to make use of the option to
return value to shareholders through a possible future buyback
programme. Had Resolution 24 not been passed, the Company would not
have been able to effect such buyback programmes, as explained in
the Notice of AGM and also in the Letter to Shareholders issued via
RNS on 15 May 2023. CCEP intends to continue to engage with ISS on
their standing policy to recommend a vote against a Rule 9 waiver
which we believe may be influencing investor decisions in this
regard. In addition, CCEP will continue to engage, in normal course
and as appropriate, with shareholders who did not support
Resolution 24 to understand the reasons for their vote against the
proposal and to continue a transparent and constructive dialogue on
this topic.
Olive is currently interested in 166,128,987 shares in the
Company and the Waiver does not entitle Olive to be interested in a
greater number of shares. The Waiver would allow Olive's interest
in shares as a percentage of the Company's total shares to increase
as a result of the exercise of the Company's authorities to
purchase its own shares, but only to the extent that the resulting
interest of Olive, together with any concert parties, in the shares
of the Company did not then exceed 40.2797%.
In accordance with Listing Rule 14.3.6R, copies of the
resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual
general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism
and will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
