Results of Extraordinary General Meeting of Coca-Cola HBC AG and confirmation of election of Stefan F. Heidenreich as a New Non-Executive Director

Zug, Switzerland – 20 June 2013 – Coca-Cola HBC AG ("Coca-Cola HBC") today announces that all of the proposals of the Board of Directors (the "Board") set out in the notice of extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") dated 27 May 2013 were duly passed by the requisite majority of shareholders on a written ballot at its EGM held on Wednesday 19 June 2013. The final ballot results are set out below. A copy of the proposals passed at the EGM has also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM and on Coca-Cola HBC΄s website at www.coca‑colahbcag.com.

In relation to the declaration of a dividend of EUR 0.34 per share out of capital contribution reserves, the proposed dividend cap of CHF 200 million has not been reached at current exchange rates, and therefore, the full amount of EUR 0.34 per share will be paid to shareholders.

In addition, further to the announcement made on 28 May 2013, Coca-Cola HBC confirms that Kent Atkinson retired from the Board at the time of the EGM and Coca-Cola HBC΄s shareholders elected Stefan F. Heidenreich to succeed Mr. Atkinson as a non-executive director on the Board with effect from the same date. Details of the new non-executive director can be found at www.coca‑colahbcag.com under the tab headed "Corporate Governance".
