FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains information that may constitute "forward-looking statements." Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to volume growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth, and statements expressing general views about future operating results — are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The Coca-Cola Company for the year ended December 31, 2019.
When used in these notes, the terms "The Coca-Cola Company," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean The Coca-Cola Company and all entities included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. Sales of our nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages are somewhat seasonal, with the second and third calendar quarters typically accounting for the highest sales volumes. The volume of sales in the beverage business may be affected by weather conditions.
Each of our interim reporting periods, other than the fourth interim reporting period, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. The first quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2019 ended on March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively. Our fourth interim reporting period and our fiscal year end on December 31 regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.
Advertising Costs
The Company's accounting policy related to advertising costs for annual reporting purposes is to expense production costs of print, radio, television and other advertisements as of the first date the advertisements take place. All other marketing expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.
For interim reporting purposes, we allocate our estimated full year marketing expenditures that benefit multiple interim periods to each of our interim reporting periods. We use the proportion of each interim period's actual unit case volume to the estimated full year unit case volume as the basis for the allocation. This methodology results in our marketing expenditures being recognized at a standard rate per unit case. At the end of each interim reporting period, we review our estimated full year unit case volume and our estimated full year marketing expenditures that benefit multiple interim periods in order to evaluate if a change in estimate is necessary. The impact of any changes in these full year estimates is recognized in the interim period in which the change in estimate occurs. Our full year marketing expenditures are not impacted by this interim accounting policy.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents
We classify time deposits and other investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents or restricted cash equivalents, as applicable. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents generally consist of amounts held by our captive insurance companies, which are included in the line item other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, and amounts classified in assets held for sale. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor our concentrations of credit risk.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during the quarters and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacts changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021 and would require us to recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of reinvested earnings, if applicable. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2019-12 may have on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2: ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, our Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $984 million, which primarily related to the acquisition of the remaining equity ownership interest in fairlife, LLC ("fairlife").
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, our Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $5,322 million, which primarily related to the acquisition of Costa Limited ("Costa"), the remaining equity ownership interest in C.H.I. Limited ("CHI") and controlling interests in bottling operations in Zambia.
fairlife, LLC
In January 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 57.5 percent interest in, and now owns 100 percent of, fairlife. fairlife offers a broad portfolio of products in the value-added dairy category across North America. A significant portion of fairlife's revenues was already reflected in our consolidated financial statements, as we have operated as the sales and distribution organization for certain fairlife products. Upon consolidation, we recognized a gain of $902 million resulting from the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in fairlife to fair value. The fair value of our previously held interest was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 inputs. The gain was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. We acquired the remaining interest in exchange for $979 million of cash, net of cash acquired, and effectively settled our $306 million note receivable from fairlife at the recorded amount. Under the terms of the agreement, we are subject to making future milestone payments which are contingent on fairlife achieving certain financial targets through 2024, and if achieved, are payable in 2021, 2023 and 2025. These milestone payments are based on agreed-upon formulas related to fairlife's operating results, the resulting value of which is not subject to a ceiling. Under the applicable accounting guidance, we recorded a $270 million liability representing our best estimate of the fair value of this contingent consideration. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on Level 3 inputs. We will be required to remeasure this liability to fair value quarterly with any changes in the fair value recorded in income until the final milestone payments are made. During the three months ended March 27, 2020, we recorded a charge of $11 million related to this remeasurement in the line item other operating charges in our condensed consolidated statement of income. As of March 27, 2020, $1.3 billion of the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the fairlife trademark and $0.8 billion was preliminarily allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is primarily related to synergistic value created from the opportunity for additional expansion. It also includes certain other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. The goodwill is not tax deductible and has been preliminarily assigned to the North America operating segment. The preliminary allocation of the

7



purchase price is subject to refinement when valuations are finalized. As of March 27, 2020, the valuations that have not been finalized primarily relate to the trademark and other intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities. The final purchase price allocation will be completed no later than the first quarter of 2021.
Costa Limited
In January 2019, the Company acquired Costa in exchange for $4.9 billion of cash, net of cash acquired. Costa is a coffee business with retail outlets in more than 30 countries, the Costa Express vending system and a state-of-the-art roastery. We believe this acquisition will allow us to increase our presence in the hot beverage market as Costa has a scalable platform across multiple formats and channels, including opportunities to introduce ready-to-drink products. Upon finalization of purchase accounting, $2.4 billion of the purchase price was allocated to the Costa trademark and $2.5 billion was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition is primarily related to synergistic value created from the opportunity for additional expansion as well as our ability to market and distribute Costa in ready-to-drink form throughout our bottling system. It also includes certain other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. The goodwill is not tax deductible and has been assigned to the Global Ventures operating segment, except for $108 million, which was allocated to the Europe, Middle East and Africa operating segment.
C.H.I. Limited
In January 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 60 percent interest in CHI, a Nigerian producer of value-added dairy and juice beverages and iced tea, in exchange for $260 million of cash, net of cash acquired, under the terms of the agreement for our original investment in CHI. Upon consolidation, we recognized a net charge of $121 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019, which included the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in CHI to fair value and the reversal of the related cumulative translation adjustments. The fair value of our previously held equity investment was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on Level 3 inputs. The net charge was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income.
Divestitures
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $36 million, which primarily related to the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in one of our equity method investments. We recognized a net gain of $18 million as a result of the sale, which was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $261 million, which primarily related to the sale of a portion of our equity method investment in Embotelladora Andina S.A. ("Andina"). We recognized a gain of $39 million as a result of the sale, which was recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. We continue to account for our remaining interest in Andina as an equity method investment as a result of our representation on Andina's Board of Directors and other governance rights.

2 Refer to Note 15 for additional information related to the estimated fair value.
Credit Risk Associated with Derivatives
We have established strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. We monitor counterparty exposures regularly and review any downgrade in credit rating immediately. If a downgrade in the credit rating of a counterparty were to occur, we have provisions requiring collateral for substantially all of our transactions. To mitigate presettlement risk, minimum credit standards become more stringent as the duration of the derivative financial instrument increases. In addition, the Company's master netting agreements reduce credit risk by permitting the Company to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. To minimize the concentration of

11



credit risk, we enter into derivative transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions. Based on these factors, we consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy
The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices or interest rates. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and are reclassified into the line item in our condensed consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings. The changes in fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings. The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is typically four years.
The Company maintains a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the risk that our eventual U.S. dollar net cash inflows from sales outside the United States and U.S. dollar net cash outflows from procurement activities will be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into forward contracts and purchase foreign currency options and collars (principally euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen) to hedge certain portions of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by gains in the fair value of the derivative instruments. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by losses in the fair value of the derivative instruments. The total notional values of derivatives that were designated and qualify for the Company's foreign currency cash flow hedging program were $9,849 million and $6,957 million as of March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge the changes in cash flows of certain of its foreign currency denominated debt and other monetary assets or liabilities due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For this hedging program, the Company records the change in carrying value of these foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities due to changes in exchange rates into earnings each period. The changes in fair value of the cross-currency swap derivatives are recorded in AOCI with an immediate reclassification into earnings for the change in fair value attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The total notional values of derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges for the Company's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities were $3,028 million as of both March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The Company has entered into commodity futures contracts and other derivative instruments on various commodities to mitigate the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our manufacturing process. These derivative instruments have been designated and qualify as part of the Company's commodity cash flow hedging program. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with future purchases of certain commodities. The total notional values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify for this program were $2 million as of both March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Our Company monitors our mix of short-term debt and long-term debt regularly. From time to time, we manage our risk to interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements and has designated these instruments as part of the Company's interest rate cash flow hedging program. The objective of this hedging program is to mitigate the risk of adverse changes in benchmark interest rates on the Company's future interest payments. The total notional values of these interest rate swap agreements that were designated and qualified for the Company's interest rate cash flow hedging program were $550 million as of March 27, 2020.

As of March 27, 2020, the Company estimates that it will reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months net gains of $6 million from the pretax amount recorded in AOCI as the anticipated cash flows occur.
Fair Value Hedging Strategy
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt that results from fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. The Company also uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated debt relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates. The changes in fair values of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged items are recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of these hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. When a derivative is no longer designated as a fair value hedge for any reason, including termination and maturity, the remaining unamortized difference between the carrying value of the hedged item at that time and the face value of the hedged item is amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the hedged item, or immediately if the hedged item has matured. The total notional values of derivatives related to our fair value hedges of this type were $12,360 million and $12,523 million as of March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations Strategy
The Company uses forward contracts and a portion of its foreign currency denominated debt, a non-derivative financial instrument, to protect the value of our net investments in a number of foreign operations. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in net foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of AOCI, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. For non-derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the change in the carrying value of the designated portion of the non-derivative financial instrument due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is recorded in net foreign currency translation adjustments. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the period of change.

The Company did not reclassify any gains or losses related to net investment hedges from AOCI into earnings during the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019. In addition, the Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges during the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019. The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company's derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges are classified in the line item other investing activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Economic (Non-Designated) Hedging Strategy
In addition to derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges of foreign currency, interest rate and commodity exposure. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effective economic hedges. The changes in the fair value of economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company uses foreign currency economic hedges to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. The changes in fair value of economic hedges used to offset those monetary assets and liabilities are immediately recognized in earnings in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. In addition, we use foreign currency economic hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including those related to certain acquisition and divestiture activities. The changes in fair values of economic hedges used to offset the variability in U.S. dollar net cash flows are recognized in earnings in the line items net operating revenues, cost of goods sold or other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income, as applicable. The total notional values of derivatives related to our foreign currency economic hedges were $4,725 million and $4,291 million as of March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges to mitigate the price risk associated with the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing process and for vehicle fuel. The changes in fair values of these economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings in the line items net operating revenues, cost of goods sold, or selling, general and

14



administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of income, as applicable. The total notional values of derivatives related to our economic hedges of this type were $405 million and $425 million as of March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 7: DEBT AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company issued U.S. dollar-denominated debt of $5,000 million. The carrying value of this debt as of March 27, 2020 was $4,951 million. The general terms of the notes issued are as follows:
$1,000 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2025, at a fixed interest rate of 2.950 percent;
$1,000 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2027, at a fixed interest rate of 3.375 percent;
$1,250 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2030, at a fixed interest rate of 3.450 percent;
$500 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2040, at a fixed interest rate of 4.125 percent; and
$1,250 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2050, at a fixed interest rate of 4.200 percent.
NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
As of March 27, 2020, we were contingently liable for guarantees of indebtedness owed by third parties of $411 million, of which $130 million was related to variable interest entities. Our guarantees are primarily related to third-party customers, bottlers and vendors and have arisen through the normal course of business. These guarantees have various terms, and none of these guarantees is individually significant. These amounts represent the maximum potential future payments that we could be required to make under the guarantees; however, we do not consider it probable that we will be required to satisfy these guarantees.
We believe our exposure to concentrations of credit risk is limited due to the diverse geographic areas covered by our operations.
Legal Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. We establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. Management believes that the total liabilities of the Company that may arise as a result of currently pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole.
Tax Audits
The Company is involved in various tax matters, some of which have an uncertain outcome. We establish reserves to remove some or all of the tax benefit of any of our tax positions at the time we determine that it becomes uncertain based upon one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained; (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained but for a lesser amount; or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. For purposes of evaluating whether or not a tax position is uncertain, (1) we presume the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information; (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes,

15



legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position; and (3) each tax position is evaluated without consideration of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. A number of years may elapse before a particular uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. The number of years subject to tax audits or tax assessments varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The tax benefit that has been previously reserved because of a failure to meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold would be recognized in our income tax expense in the first interim period when the uncertainty disappears under any one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained; (2) the tax position, amount, and/or timing is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation; or (3) the statute of limitations for the tax position has expired. Refer to Note 14.
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (the "Notice") from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the tax years 2007 through 2009 after a five-year audit. In the Notice, the IRS claimed that the Company's U.S. taxable income should be increased by an amount that creates a potential additional federal income tax liability of approximately $3.3 billion for the period plus interest. No penalties were asserted in the Notice. The disputed amounts largely relate to a transfer pricing matter involving the appropriate amount of taxable income the Company should report in the United States in connection with its licensing of intangible property to certain related foreign licensees regarding the manufacturing, distribution, sale, marketing, and promotion of products in certain foreign markets.
During the 2007-2009 audit period, the Company followed the same transfer pricing methodology for these licenses that had consistently been followed since the methodology was agreed with the IRS in a 1996 closing agreement (the "Closing Agreement") that applied back to 1987. The Closing Agreement provided prospective penalty protection conditioned on the Company's continued adherence to the prescribed methodology absent a change in material facts or circumstances or relevant federal tax law. Although the IRS subsequently asserted, without explanation, that material facts and circumstances and relevant federal tax law had changed, it has not asserted penalties. The Company's compliance with the Closing Agreement was audited and confirmed by the IRS in five successive audit cycles covering the subsequent 11 years through 2006, with the last audit concluding as recently as 2009.
The Notice represents a repudiation of the methodology previously adopted in the Closing Agreement. The IRS designated the matter for litigation on October 15, 2015. Due to the fact that the matter remains designated, the Company is prevented from pursuing any administrative settlement at IRS Appeals or under the IRS Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program.
The Company firmly believes that the IRS' claims are without merit and is pursuing, and will continue to pursue, all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to vigorously defend its position. To that end, the Company filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court on December 14, 2015, and the IRS filed its answer on February 12, 2016. On October 4, 2017, the IRS filed an amended answer to the Company's petition in which it increased its transfer pricing adjustment by $385 million resulting in an additional tax adjustment of $135 million.
On June 20, 2017, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on the portion of the IRS' adjustments related to our licensee in Mexico. On December 14, 2017, the U.S. Tax Court issued a decision on the summary judgment motion in favor of the Company. This decision effectively reduced the IRS' potential tax adjustment by approximately $138 million.
The U.S. Tax Court trial was held from March 8, 2018 through May 11, 2018. The Company and the IRS filed and exchanged final post-trial briefs in April 2019. It is not known how much time will elapse thereafter prior to the issuance of the court's opinion. In the interim, or subsequent to the court's opinion, the IRS may propose similar adjustments for years subsequent to the 2007-2009 litigation period. While the Company continues to strongly disagree with the IRS' position, there is no assurance that the court will rule in the Company's favor, and it is possible that all or some portion of the adjustment proposed by the Notice ultimately could be sustained. In that event, the Company may be subject to significant additional liabilities for the years at issue and potentially also for subsequent periods, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax disputes such as this and other examinations for all open years to determine the adequacy of its tax reserves. Any such adjustments related to years prior to 2018, either in the litigation period or later, may have an impact on the transition tax payable as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Reform Act").
Risk Management Programs
The Company has numerous global insurance programs in place to help protect the Company from the risk of loss. In general, we are self-insured for large portions of many different types of claims; however, we do use commercial insurance above our self-insured retentions to reduce the Company's risk of catastrophic loss. Our reserves for the Company's self-insured losses are estimated using actuarial methods and assumptions of the insurance industry, adjusted for our specific expectations based on our claim history. Our self-insurance reserves totaled $280 million and $301 million as of March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 12: PRODUCTIVITY AND REINVESTMENT PROGRAM
In February 2012, the Company announced a productivity and reinvestment program designed to further enable our efforts to strengthen our brands and reinvest our resources to drive long-term profitable growth. This program is focused on the following initiatives: global supply chain optimization; global marketing and innovation effectiveness; operating expense leverage and operational excellence; data and information technology systems standardization; and the integration of Coca‑Cola Enterprises Inc.'s former North America business.
In February 2014, the Company announced the expansion of our productivity and reinvestment program to drive incremental productivity that will primarily be redirected into increased media investments. Our incremental productivity goal consists of two relatively equal components. First, we will expand savings through global supply chain optimization, data and information technology systems standardization, and resource and cost reallocation. Second, we will increase the effectiveness of our marketing investments by transforming our marketing and commercial model to redeploy resources into more consumer-facing marketing investments to accelerate growth.
In October 2014, the Company announced that we were further expanding our productivity and reinvestment program and extending it through 2019. The expansion of the productivity initiatives focused on four key areas: restructuring the Company's global supply chain; implementing zero-based work, an evolution of zero-based budget principles, across the organization; streamlining and simplifying the Company's operating model; and further driving increased discipline and efficiency in direct marketing investments.
In April 2017, the Company announced another expansion of our productivity and reinvestment program. This expansion is focused on achieving additional efficiencies in both our supply chain and our marketing expenditures as well as transitioning to a new, more agile operating model to enable growth. Under this operating model, our business units will be supported by an expanded enabling services organization and a corporate center focused on a few strategic initiatives, policy and governance. The expanded enabling services organization will focus on both simplifying and standardizing key transactional processes and

21



providing support to business units through global centers of excellence. Certain productivity initiatives included in this program, primarily related to our enabling services organization, will continue until the initiatives have been completed.
The Company has incurred total pretax expenses of $3,869 million related to our productivity and reinvestment program since it commenced. These expenses were recorded in the line items other operating charges and other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Refer to Note 16 for the impact these charges had on our operating segments and Corporate. Outside services reported in the table below primarily relate to expenses in connection with legal, outplacement and consulting activities. Other direct costs reported in the table below include, among other items, internal and external costs associated with the development, communication, administration and implementation of these initiatives; accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets; contract termination fees; and relocation costs.
The following table summarizes the balance of accrued expenses related to these productivity and reinvestment initiatives and the changes in the accrued amounts as of and for the three months ended March 27, 2020 (in millions):

1 The weighted-average expected long-term rates of return on plan assets used in computing 2020 net periodic benefit cost (income) are 7.50 percent for pension benefit plans and 4.50 percent for other postretirement benefit plans.
All of the amounts in the table above, other than service cost, were recorded in the line item other income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company contributed $7 million to our pension trusts, and we anticipate making additional contributions of approximately $20 million during the remainder of 2020. The Company contributed $6 million to our pension trusts during the three months ended March 29, 2019.
NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income taxes of $215 million (7.2 percent effective tax rate) and $522 million (23.5 percent effective tax rate) during the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 vary from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to the tax impact of significant operating and nonoperating items, along with the tax benefits of having significant operations outside the United States and significant earnings generated in investments accounted for under the equity method, both of which are generally taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. rate. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 27, 2020 included the favorable impact of a $40 million tax benefit associated with the gain recorded upon the acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife and also included the net tax benefit of various discrete tax items recorded during the quarter. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on the acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife.
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. Refer to Note 8.

1 The Company recorded an impairment charge of $152 million related to a trademark in North America, which was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results due to reduced availability at retail customer outlets and a change in brand focus in the Company's portfolio. The fair value of this trademark was derived using discounted cash flow analyses based on Level 3 inputs.
2 The Company recorded an impairment charge of $26 million related to an investment in an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. This impairment charge was derived using Level 3 inputs and was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results.
3 Based on the length of time and the extent to which the market value of our investment in CCBJHI, an equity method investee, has been less than our carrying value and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, management determined that the decline in fair value was other than temporary in nature. As a result, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $286 million. This impairment charge was determined using the quoted market price (a Level 1 measurement) of CCBJHI. The Company also recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $57 million related to one of our equity method investees in North America. This impairment charge was derived using Level 3 inputs and was primarily driven by revised projections of future operating results.
4 The Company recognized a loss of $121 million in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining interest in CHI, primarily driven by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The fair value of this investment was derived using discounted cash flow analyses based on Level 3 inputs.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents; short-term investments; trade accounts receivable; accounts payable and accrued expenses; and loans and notes payable approximate their fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments. As of March 27, 2020, the carrying amount and fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, were $36,736 million and $37,555 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount and fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, were $31,769 million and $32,725 million, respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
When used in this report, the terms "The Coca-Cola Company," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean The Coca-Cola Company and all entities included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the effects of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the related actions by governments around the world to attempt to contain the spread of the virus have impacted our business globally. In particular, the outbreak and preventive measures taken to contain COVID-19 negatively impacted our unit case volume and our price, product and geographic mix in all of our operating segments, primarily due to unfavorable channel and product mix as consumer demand has shifted to more at-home consumption versus away from home. Our worldwide concentrate sales volume was approximately 1 point ahead of unit case sales volume as a result of bottler inventory build primarily related to the uncertainty associated with COVID-19.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and business disruption, we have five priorities:
To ensure the health and safety of Coca-Cola system employees
To support and make a difference in the communities we serve
To keep our brands in supply and to maintain the quality and safety of our products
To best serve our customers across all channels as they adapt to the shifting demands of consumers during the crisis
To best position ourselves to emerge strong when this crisis ends
As of the date of this filing, we have activated our contingency plans. We have deployed global and regional teams to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and recommend risk mitigation actions; we have implemented travel restrictions; and we are following social distancing practices. Around the world, we are endeavoring to follow guidance from authorities and health officials including, but not limited to, checking the temperature of associates when entering our facilities, requiring associates to wear masks and other protective clothing as appropriate, and implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines at system facilities. In addition, nearly all office-based employees around the world are required to work remotely.
We are grateful to the people throughout the world who are providing essential services, keeping communities safe and ensuring access to food, medicine and many other essential goods. We have made contributions of money, product and materials to support relief efforts in impacted local communities across the globe.
During times of crisis, business continuity and adapting to the needs of our customers is critical. We have developed systemwide knowledge-sharing routines and processes which include the management of any supply chain challenges. As of

26



the date of this filing, there has been no material impact and we do not foresee a material impact on our and our bottling partners' ability to manufacture or distribute our products. We are moving with speed to best serve our customers impacted by COVID-19. In partnership with our bottlers and retail customers, we are working to ensure adequate inventory levels in key channels while prioritizing core brands and key packages. We are increasing investments in e-commerce to support retailer and meal delivery services, shifting toward package sizes that are fit-for-purpose for online sales and shifting consumer and trade promotion to digital.
Although we are experiencing a time of crisis, we are not losing sight of long-term opportunities for our business. We believe that we will come out of this situation a better and stronger company by driving our long-term strategies, responding to changing consumer behavior and capitalizing on new opportunities created by the crisis.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Recoverability of Current and Noncurrent Assets
Our Company faces many uncertainties and risks related to various economic, political and regulatory environments in the countries in which we operate, particularly in developing and emerging markets. Refer to the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Our Business — Challenges and Risks" in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a result, management must make numerous assumptions which involve a significant amount of judgment when completing recoverability and impairment tests of current and noncurrent assets in various regions around the world.
Factors that management must estimate include, among others, the economic lives of the assets, sales volume, pricing, cost of raw materials, delivery costs, inflation, cost of capital, marketing spending, foreign currency exchange rates, tax rates, capital spending, proceeds from the sale of assets and customers' financial condition. These factors are even more difficult to estimate as a result of uncertainties associated with the duration of the various shelter-in-place orders across the globe related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the post-pandemic economic recovery. The estimates we use when assessing the recoverability of assets are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. When performing impairment tests, we estimate the fair values of the assets using management's best assumptions, which we believe would be consistent with what a market participant would use. The variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty associated with COVID-19, and thus our accounting estimates may change from period to period. Our current estimates reflect that the various shelter-in-place orders and social distancing practices across the globe will have a significant negative impact on our business in the second quarter of 2020. We also anticipate that many smaller customers throughout the world may permanently close. The Company has certain intangible and other long-lived assets that are more dependent on cash flows generated in the away-from-home channels and/or that generate cash flows in geographic areas that are more heavily impacted by COVID-19, and are therefore more susceptible to impairment. In addition, intangible and other long-lived assets we acquired in recent transactions are naturally more susceptible to impairment, because they are recorded at fair value based on recent operating plans and macroeconomic conditions at the time of acquisition. If we had used other assumptions and estimates when tests of these assets were performed, impairment charges could have resulted. Furthermore, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions exist in future periods, future impairment charges could result. Also, if a customer which has received advanced funding from the Company permanently closes, we may be required to write off the unamortized balance of the funding. The total future impairment charges and other asset write-offs we may be required to record could be material.
We perform recoverability and impairment tests of current and noncurrent assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). For certain assets, recoverability and/or impairment tests are required only when conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For other assets, impairment tests are required at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired.
As of March 27, 2020, the carrying value of our investment in Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. ("CCBJHI") exceeded its fair value by $45 million, or 7 percent, and the carrying value of our investment in Coca-Cola European Partners plc ("CCEP") exceeded its fair value by $665 million, or 23 percent. Based on the length of time and the extent to which the fair values have been less than our carrying values and our intent and ability to retain the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, management determined that the declines in fair values were temporary in nature. Therefore, we did not record an impairment charge related to either investment.
Our equity method investees also perform such recoverability and/or impairment tests. If an impairment charge is recorded by one of our equity method investees, the Company records its proportionate share of such charge as a reduction of equity income (loss) — net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. However, the actual amount we record with respect to our proportionate share of such charge may be impacted by items such as basis differences, deferred taxes and deferred gains.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
Sales of our nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages are somewhat seasonal, with the second and third calendar quarters typically accounting for the highest sales volumes. The volume of sales in the beverage business may be affected by weather conditions.
Structural Changes, Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed Brands
In order to continually improve upon the Company's operating performance, from time to time, we engage in buying and selling ownership interests in bottling partners and other manufacturing operations. In addition, we also acquire brands or enter into license agreements for certain brands to supplement our beverage offerings. These items impact our operating results and certain key metrics used by management in assessing the Company's performance.
Unit case volume growth is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's performance because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level. The Company's unit case volume represents the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of Company beverage products directly or indirectly sold by the Company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers and, therefore, reflects unit case volume for both consolidated and unconsolidated bottlers. Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" below.
Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished products sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa Limited ("Costa") non-ready-to-drink beverage products, concentrate sales volume represents the amount of coffee beans and finished beverages (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by the Company to customers or consumers. Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" below.
When we analyze our net operating revenues we generally consider the following factors: (1) volume growth (concentrate sales volume or unit case volume, as applicable); (2) changes in price, product and geographic mix; (3) foreign currency fluctuations; and (4) acquisitions and divestitures (including structural changes defined below), as applicable. Refer to the heading "Net Operating Revenues" below. The Company sells concentrates and syrups to both consolidated and unconsolidated bottling partners. The ownership structure of our bottling partners impacts the timing of recognizing concentrate revenue and concentrate sales volume. When we sell concentrates or syrups to our consolidated bottling partners, we are not able to recognize the concentrate revenue or concentrate sales volume until the bottling partner has sold finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party or independent customer. When we sell concentrates or syrups to our unconsolidated bottling partners, we recognize the concentrate revenue and concentrate sales volume when the concentrates or syrups are sold to the bottling partner. The subsequent sale of the finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party or independent customer does not impact the timing of recognizing the concentrate revenue or concentrate sales volume. When we account for an unconsolidated bottling partner as an equity method investment, we eliminate the intercompany profit related to these transactions to the extent of our ownership interest until the equity method investee has sold finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups to a third party or independent customer. We typically report unit case volume when finished products manufactured from the concentrates or syrups are sold to a third party or independent customer regardless of our ownership interest in the bottling partner.
We generally refer to acquisitions and divestitures of bottling operations as structural changes, which are a component of acquisitions and divestitures. Typically, structural changes do not impact the Company's unit case volume or concentrate sales volume on a consolidated basis or at the geographic operating segment level. We recognize unit case volume for all sales of Company beverage products, regardless of our ownership interest in the bottling partner, if any. However, the unit case volume reported by our Bottling Investments operating segment is generally impacted by structural changes because it only includes the unit case volume of our consolidated bottling operations. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company's acquisitions and divestitures.
"Acquired brands" refers to brands acquired during the past 12 months. Typically, the Company has not reported unit case volume or recognized concentrate sales volume related to acquired brands in periods prior to the closing of a transaction. Therefore, the unit case volume and concentrate sales volume related to these brands is incremental to prior year volume. We generally do not consider the acquisition of a brand to be a structural change.
"Licensed brands" refers to brands not owned by the Company but for which we hold certain rights, generally including, but not limited to, distribution rights, and from which we derive an economic benefit when the products are sold. Typically, the Company has not reported unit case volume or recognized concentrate sales volume related to these brands in periods prior to the beginning of the term of a license agreement. Therefore, in the year a license agreement is entered into, the unit case volume and concentrate sales volume related to the brand is incremental to prior year volume. We generally do not consider the licensing of a brand to be a structural change.

In 2020, the Company acquired the remaining interest in fairlife, LLC ("fairlife"). The impact on revenues for fairlife products not previously sold by the Company has been included in acquisitions and divestitures in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the North America operating segment.
In 2019, the Company acquired the remaining interest in C.H.I. Limited ("CHI"). The impact of this acquisition has been included in acquisitions and divestitures in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Europe, Middle East and Africa operating segment. Other acquisitions by the Company included controlling interests in bottling operations in Zambia, Kenya and Eswatini. The impact of these acquisitions has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Europe, Middle East and Africa operating segments.
Also in 2019, the Company refranchised certain of its bottling operations in India. The impact of these refranchising activities has been included as a structural change in our analysis of net operating revenues on a consolidated basis as well as for the Bottling Investments and Asia Pacific operating segments.
Beverage Volume
We measure the volume of Company beverage products sold in two ways: (1) unit cases of finished products and (2) concentrate sales. As used in this report, "unit case" means a unit of measurement equal to 192 U.S. fluid ounces of finished beverage (24 eight-ounce servings), with the exception of unit case equivalents for Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products which are primarily measured in number of transactions; and "unit case volume" means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of Company beverage products directly or indirectly sold by the Company and its bottling partners to customers or consumers. Unit case volume primarily consists of beverage products bearing Company trademarks. Also included in unit case volume are certain products licensed to, or distributed by, our Company, and brands owned by Coca-Cola system bottlers for which our Company provides marketing support and from the sale of which we derive economic benefit. In addition, unit case volume includes sales by certain joint ventures in which the Company has an equity interest. We believe unit case volume is one of the measures of the underlying strength of the Coca-Cola system because it measures trends at the consumer level. The unit case volume numbers used in this report are derived based on estimates received by the Company from its bottling partners and distributors. Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers. For Costa non-ready-to-drink beverage products, concentrate sales volume represents the amount of coffee beans and finished beverages (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by the Company to customers or consumers. Unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates are not necessarily equal during any given period. Factors such as seasonality, bottlers' inventory practices, supply point changes, timing of price increases, new product introductions and changes in product mix can create differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates. In addition to the items mentioned above, the impact of unit case volume from certain joint ventures in which the Company has an equity interest, but to which the Company does not sell concentrates, syrups, source waters or powders/minerals, may give rise to differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates.

1 Bottling Investments operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only.
2 Geographic and Global Ventures operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for all bottlers, both consolidated and unconsolidated, and distributors in the applicable geographic areas.
3 Unit case volume percent change is based on average daily sales. Unit case volume growth based on average daily sales is computed by comparing the average daily sales in each of the corresponding periods. Average daily sales are the unit cases sold during the period divided by the number of days in the period.
4 Concentrate sales volume represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, source waters and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the Company to its bottling partners or other customers and is not based on average daily sales. For Costa non-ready-to-drink products, concentrate sales volume represents the amount of coffee beans and finished beverages (in all instances expressed in unit case equivalents) sold by the Company to customers or consumers and is not based on average daily sales. Each of our interim reporting periods, other than the fourth interim reporting period, ends on the Friday closest to the last day of the corresponding quarterly calendar period. As a result, the first quarter of 2020 had one less day when compared to the first quarter of 2019, and the fourth quarter of 2020 will have two additional days when compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

After considering the impact of structural changes, unit case volume for Bottling Investments for the three months ended March 27, 2020 declined 4 percent.
6 After considering the impact of structural changes, concentrate sales volume for North America for the three months ended March 27, 2020 grew 3 percent.
7 After considering the impact of structural changes, concentrate sales volume for Asia Pacific for the three months ended March 27, 2020 declined 3 percent.
Unit Case Volume
Although a significant portion of our Company's revenues is not based directly on unit case volume, we believe unit case
volume is one of the measures of the underlying strength of the Coca-Cola system because it measures trends at the consumer level.
Three Months Ended March 27, 2020 versus Three Months Ended March 29, 2019
Unit case volume in Europe, Middle East and Africa was even, which included growth of 4 percent in water, enhanced water and sports drinks, offset by a 9 percent decline in juice, dairy and plant-based beverages and a 5 percent decline in tea and coffee. Volume in sparkling soft drinks was even. The group's sparkling soft drinks volume reflected growth of 2 percent in Trademark Coca-Cola. The group reported increases in unit case volume in the Middle East & North Africa; West Africa; Turkey, Caucasus & Central Asia; and Central & Eastern Europe business units. The increases in these business units were offset by decreases in the South & East Africa and Western Europe business units.
In Latin America, unit case volume was even, which included growth of 11 percent in water, enhanced water and sports drinks, offset by a 2 percent decline in both sparkling soft drinks and juice, dairy and plant-based beverages. The group reported an increase in unit case volume of 12 percent in the Latin Center business unit, offset by declines in unit case volume of 3 percent in both the Brazil and South Latin business units and 1 percent in the Mexico business unit.
Unit case volume in North America grew 3 percent, which included growth of 16 percent in water, enhanced water and sports drinks and growth of 3 percent in juice, dairy and plant-based beverages, partially offset by a 3 percent decline in tea and coffee. The group's sparkling soft drinks volume was even, which included 1 percent growth in Trademark Coca-Cola.
In Asia Pacific, unit case volume declined 7 percent, which included a 4 percent decline in sparkling soft drinks, a 16 percent decline in juice, dairy and plant-based beverages, a 13 percent decline in water, enhanced water and sports drinks and a 5 percent decline in tea and coffee. Sparkling soft drinks volume included 1 percent growth in Trademark Coca‑Cola. The

30



group reported declines in unit case volume of 14 percent in the Greater China & Korea business unit, 7 percent in the India & South West Asia business unit and 3 percent in the Japan business unit. The declines in these business units were partially offset by a 2 percent increase in unit case volume in the ASEAN business unit and even volume in the South Pacific business unit.
Unit case volume for Global Ventures declined 2 percent, primarily driven by a 10 percent decrease in tea and coffee, partially offset by a 10 percent increase in juice, dairy and plant-based beverages and growth in energy drinks.
Unit case volume for Bottling Investments declined 5 percent. Declines in nearly all of our consolidated bottling operations as a result of COVID-19 were partially offset by 4 percent growth in the Philippines bottling operation.
The ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on the second quarter and full year 2020 unit case volume is unknown at this time, as it will depend heavily on the duration of the shelter-in-place orders, as well as the substance and pace of the post- pandemic recovery. However, we currently believe the impact to the second quarter will be material. Since the beginning of April, the Company has experienced a volume decline globally of approximately 25 percent, with nearly all of that decline coming in away-from-home channels.
Concentrate Sales Volume
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, worldwide concentrate sales volume was even and unit case volume declined 1 percent compared to the three months ended March 29, 2019. Concentrate sales volume growth is calculated based on the amount of concentrate sold during the reporting periods, which is impacted by the number of days. Conversely, unit case volume growth is calculated based on average daily sales, which is not impacted by the number of days in the reporting periods. The first quarter of 2020 had one less day when compared to the first quarter of 2019, which contributed to the differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates on a consolidated basis and for the individual operating segments during the three months ended March 27, 2020. In addition, the differences between unit case volume and concentrate sales volume growth rates during the three months ended March 27, 2020 were due to additional concentrate shipments in the current year as bottlers built inventory due to the uncertainty associated with COVID-19, offset by the timing of concentrate shipments related to Brexit in the prior year.
Net Operating Revenues
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, net operating revenues were $8,601 million compared to $8,694 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019, a decrease of $93 million, or 1 percent.
The following table illustrates, on a percentage basis, the estimated impact of key factors resulting in the increase (decrease) in net operating revenues on a consolidated basis and for each of our operating segments:

Note: Certain rows may not add due to rounding.
1 Represents the percent change in net operating revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for our geographic operating segments and our Global Ventures operating segment (expressed in unit case equivalents) after considering the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. For our Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net operating revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume computed by comparing the total sales (rather than the average daily sales) in each of the corresponding periods after considering the impact of structural changes. Our Bottling Investments operating segment data reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only after considering the impact of structural changes. Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" above.
2 Includes structural changes. Refer to the heading "Structural Changes, Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed Brands" above.
Refer to the heading "Beverage Volume" above for additional information related to changes in our unit case and concentrate sales volumes.
"Price, product and geographic mix" refers to the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred. The impact of price, product and geographic mix is calculated by subtracting the change in net operating revenues resulting from volume

31



increases or decreases, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and acquisitions and divestitures from the total change in net operating revenues. Management believes that providing investors with price, product and geographic mix enhances their understanding about the combined impact that the following items had on the Company's net operating revenues: (1) pricing actions taken by the Company and, where applicable, our bottling partners; (2) changes in the mix of products and packages sold; and (3) changes in the mix of channels and geographic territories where products were sold. Management uses this measure in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance.
Price, product and geographic mix was even and was impacted by a variety of factors and events including, but not limited to, the following:
Europe, Middle East and Africa — favorable price, product and package mix, offset by negative geographic mix, including the impact of the Brexit inventory build in the prior year;
Latin America — favorable price and package mix in Mexico and the impact of inflationary environments in certain markets;
North America — favorable pricing initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable product mix resulting from strong sales in packaged water;
Asia Pacific — unfavorable channel and product mix across a majority of the business units;
Global Ventures — favorable product mix; and
Bottling Investments — unfavorable product and package mix primarily in our bottling operations in Africa.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates decreased our consolidated net operating revenues by 2 percent. This unfavorable impact was primarily due to a stronger U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies, including the euro, Brazilian real, South African rand and Australian dollar, which had an unfavorable impact on all of our operating segments, except for North America and Global Ventures. The unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar compared to the currencies listed above was partially offset by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar compared to certain other foreign currencies, including the Japanese yen and Mexican Peso, which had a favorable impact on our Asia Pacific and Latin America operating segments. Refer to the heading "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position — Foreign Exchange" below.
"Acquisitions and divestitures" refers to acquisitions and divestitures of brands or businesses, some of which the Company considers to be structural changes. The impact of acquisitions and divestitures is the difference between the change in net operating revenues and the change in what our net operating revenues would have been if we removed the net operating revenues associated with an acquisition or divestiture from either the current year or the prior year, as applicable. Management believes that quantifying the impact that acquisitions and divestitures had on the Company's net operating revenues provides investors with useful information to enhance their understanding of the Company's net operating revenue performance by improving their ability to compare our period-to-period results. Management considers the impact of acquisitions and divestitures when evaluating the Company's performance. Refer to the heading "Structural Changes, Acquired Brands and Newly Licensed Brands" above for additional information related to acquisitions and divestitures.
Net operating revenue growth rates are impacted by sales volume; price, product and geographic mix; foreign currency fluctuations; and acquisitions and divestitures. The size and timing of acquisitions and divestitures are not consistent from period to period. Based on current spot rates and our hedging coverage in place, we expect foreign currencies will have an unfavorable impact on our full year 2020 net operating revenues.
Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin is a ratio calculated by dividing gross profit by net operating revenues. Management believes gross profit margin provides investors with useful information related to the profitability of our business prior to considering all of the operating costs incurred. Management uses this measure in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance.
Our gross profit margin decreased to 60.8 percent for the three months ended March 27, 2020, compared to 61.3 percent for the three months ended March 29, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

During the three months ended March 27, 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $119 million, or 4 percent, versus the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in stock-based compensation expense resulting from a change in the estimated payout, effective cost management as a result of uncertainties related to COVID-19, the impact of savings from our productivity initiatives and a foreign currency exchange rate impact of 1 percent.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased advertising expenses by 2 percent.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the increase in selling and distribution expenses was primarily due to amortization and depreciation expense in the current year for Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Proprietary Limited ("CCBA"). During the three months ended March 29, 2019, CCBA was classified as held for sale, and therefore amortization and depreciation expense were not recorded.
As of March 27, 2020, we had $382 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards granted under our plans, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years as stock-based compensation expense. This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards granted.

During the three months ended March 27, 2020, operating income was $2,380 million, compared to $2,435 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019, a decrease of $55 million, or 2 percent. The decrease was primarily driven by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact and higher other operating charges, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted consolidated operating income by 3 percent due to a stronger U.S. dollar compared to certain foreign currencies, including the euro, Brazilian real, South African rand and Australian dollar, which had an unfavorable impact on all of our operating segments, except for North America and Global Ventures. The unfavorable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar compared to the currencies listed above was partially offset by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar compared to certain other foreign currencies, including the Japanese yen and Mexican Peso, which had a favorable impact on our Asia Pacific and Latin America operating segments.

34



The Company's Europe, Middle East and Africa segment reported operating income of $960 million and $978 million for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 3 percent and unfavorable geographic mix.
Latin America reported operating income of $539 million and $496 million for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively. The increase in operating income was driven by concentrate sales volume growth of 5 percent and favorable price mix, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 12 percent.
Operating income for North America for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $387 million and $586 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by higher other operating charges and the timing of selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by concentrate sales volume growth of 4 percent and favorable price mix.
Asia Pacific's operating income for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $511 million and $542 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by unfavorable channel and product mix, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 1 percent.
Global Ventures' operating income for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $19 million and $66 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the impact from Costa retail store closures across China and the United Kingdom as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bottling Investments' operating income for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $63 million and $100 million, respectively. The decrease in operating income was driven by the depreciation and amortization of the applicable assets of CCBA, which began in the second quarter of 2019 when we concluded that CCBA would no longer be classified as held for sale, and unfavorable product and package mix, partially offset by effective cost management.
Corporate's operating loss for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $99 million and $333 million, respectively. Operating loss in 2020 decreased primarily as a result of lower stock-based compensation costs, lower annual incentive expense, lower other operating charges and savings from productivity initiatives.
Based on current spot rates and our hedging coverage in place, we expect foreign currency fluctuations will have an unfavorable impact on operating income through the end of the year.
Interest Income
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, interest income was $112 million, compared to $133 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019, a decrease of $21 million, or 16 percent. This decrease was primarily driven by lower investment balances in certain of our international locations, as well as the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, interest expense was $193 million, compared to $245 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019, a decrease of $52 million, or 21 percent. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower short-term U.S. interest rates and lower debt balances in certain of our international locations, partially offset by the impact of long-term debt issued in the third quarter of 2019.
Equity Income (Loss) — Net
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, equity income was $167 million, compared to equity income of $133 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019, an increase of $34 million, or 26 percent. This increase reflects the impact of more favorable operating results reported by several of our equity method investees, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company recorded net charges of $38 million and $42 million in the line item equity income (loss) — net during the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively. These amounts represent the Company's proportionate share of significant operating and nonoperating items recorded by certain of our equity method investees.
Other Income (Loss) — Net
Other income (loss) — net includes, among other things, dividend income; rental income; gains and losses related to the disposal of property, plant and equipment; gains and losses related to acquisitions and divestitures; non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and postretirement benefit plans; other benefit plan charges and credits; realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities; realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities; and the impact of foreign currency exchange gains and losses. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are primarily the result of the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities from certain currencies into functional

35



currencies. The effects of the remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are partially offset by the impact of our economic hedging program for certain exposures on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, other income (loss) — net was income of $544 million. The Company recognized a gain of $902 million in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife, which resulted from the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in fairlife to fair value, and a gain of $18 million related to the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in one of our equity method investments. These gains were partially offset by a net loss of $392 million related to realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities and a loss of $57 million related to economic hedging activities. Other income (loss) — net also included income of $43 million related to the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost, net foreign currency exchange gains of $16 million and dividend income of $7 million. None of the other items included in other income (loss) — net during the three months ended March 27, 2020 was individually significant. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on equity and debt securities. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on economic hedging activities. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact these items had on our operating segments and Corporate.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, other income (loss) — net was a loss of $231 million. The Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $286 million related to CCBJHI, an equity method investee. The Company also recognized a $121 million loss in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining interest in CHI and a $57 million other-than-temporary impairment charge related to one of our equity method investees in North America. These charges were partially offset by a net gain of $149 million related to realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and trading debt securities as well as realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, a gain of $39 million related to the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Embotelladora Andina S.A. ("Andina") and a gain of $34 million related to economic hedging activities. Other income (loss) — net also included income of $25 million related to the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and $11 million of dividend income, partially offset by net foreign currency exchange losses of $21 million. None of the other items included in other income (loss) — net during the three months ended March 29, 2019 was individually significant. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the acquisition of the remaining interest in CHI and the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Andina. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on equity and debt securities. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on economic hedging activities. Refer to Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the impairment charges and the loss recognized in conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining interest in CHI. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact these items had on our operating segments and Corporate.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded income taxes of $215 million (7.2 percent effective tax rate) and $522 million (23.5 percent effective tax rate) during the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 vary from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to the tax impact of significant operating and nonoperating items, along with the tax benefits of having significant operations outside the United States and significant earnings generated in investments accounted for under the equity method, both of which are generally taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. rate. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 27, 2020 included the favorable impact of a $40 million tax benefit associated with the gain recorded upon the acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife and also included the net tax benefit of various discrete tax items recorded during the quarter. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife.
On September 17, 2015, the Company received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the tax years 2007 through 2009, after a five-year audit. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, our best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates. Based on current tax laws, the Company's effective tax rate in 2020 is expected to be 19.5 percent before considering the potential impact of any significant operating and nonoperating items that may affect our effective tax rate.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION
As a result of uncertainties in the near-term outlook for our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reevaluating all aspects of our spending. We recognize that marketing campaigns are often less effective at times like these; therefore, we have taken actions to adjust our marketing spending until we have more clarity and visibility into the impact of the pandemic on our business. We are reviewing all of our capital projects to ensure that we are only spending on projects that are deemed to be essential in the current environment. We have taken steps to limit spending on travel, third-party services and other operating expenses, and we continue to focus on cash flow generation. Our current capital allocation priorities are focused on investing wisely to support our business operations and continuing to prioritize our dividend payment. Currently, we have no intention to repurchase treasury shares during the year ending December 31, 2020, and we have no intention on changing our approach toward paying dividends. We also do not currently expect any significant mergers and acquisitions activity to occur during the remainder of this year. We will review and, when appropriate, adjust our overall approach to capital allocation as we know more about the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and how the post-pandemic recovery will unfold. The Company does not typically raise capital through the issuance of stock. Instead, we use debt financing to lower our overall cost of capital and increase our return on shareowners' equity. Refer to the heading "Cash Flows from Financing Activities" below. We have a history of borrowing funds both domestically and internationally at reasonable interest rates, and although we expect our borrowing costs to increase somewhat in the near term as a result of credit market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to be able to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. Our debt financing also includes the use of an extensive commercial paper program. While the COVID-19 pandemic caused a disruption in the commercial paper market, we currently still have the ability to borrow funds in this market and expect to continue to be able to do so in the future. The Company reviews its optimal mix of short-term and long-term debt regularly and may replace certain amounts of commercial paper, short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt with new issuances of long-term debt in the future. On March 20, 2020, we issued $5.0 billion of long-term debt across various tenors. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities totaled $17.7 billion as of March 27, 2020. In addition to these funds, our commercial paper program and our ability to issue long-term debt, we had $8.9 billion in unused lines of credit for general corporate purposes as of March 27, 2020. These backup lines of credit expire at various times from 2020 through 2025. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, on April 6, 2020, we entered into new 364-day term loan agreements with a group of banks that provide us with the ability, at our election prior to August 4, 2020, to borrow $3.0 billion in term loans.
Based on all of the aforementioned factors, the Company believes its current liquidity position is strong and will continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $556 million and $788 million, respectively, a decrease of $232 million, or 29 percent. This decrease was primarily due to the extension of payment terms with certain of our suppliers in the prior year, one less selling day in the current year and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $1,084 million and $4,459 million, respectively.
Purchases of Investments and Proceeds from Disposals of Investments
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, purchases of investments were $1,455 million and proceeds from disposals of investments were $1,603 million, resulting in a net cash inflow of $148 million. During the three months ended March 29, 2019, purchases of investments were $1,062 million and proceeds from disposals of investments were $1,994 million, resulting in a net cash inflow of $932 million. This activity represents the purchases of and proceeds related to our short-term investments that were made as part of the Company's overall cash management strategy as well as our insurance captive investments. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Acquisitions of Businesses, Equity Method Investments and Nonmarketable Securities
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $984 million, which primarily related to the acquisition of the remaining interest in fairlife. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, the Company's acquisitions of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities totaled $5,322 million, which primarily related to the acquisition of Costa and the remaining interest in CHI. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

37



Proceeds from Disposals of Businesses, Equity Method Investments and Nonmarketable Securities
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities were $36 million, which primarily related to the sale of a portion of our ownership interest in one of our equity method investments.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, proceeds from disposals of businesses, equity method investments and nonmarketable securities were $261 million, which primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of a portion of our equity ownership interest in Andina.
Purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment
Purchases of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 were $327 million and $388 million, respectively.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019 was $7,810 million and $421 million, respectively, an increase of $7,389 million.
Debt Financing
Issuances and payments of debt included both short-term and long-term financing activities. During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company had issuances of debt of $12,563 million, which included $7,091 million of net issuances related to commercial paper and short-term debt with maturities greater than 90 days, $433 million of net issuances related to commercial paper with maturities less than 90 days and long-term debt issuances of $5,039 million, net of related discounts and issuance costs.
The Company made payments of debt of $4,833 million during the three months ended March 27, 2020, which included $4,814 million of payments of commercial paper and short-term debt with maturities greater than 90 days and payments of long-term debt of $19 million.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company issued U.S. dollar-denominated debt of $5,000 million. The carrying value of this debt as of March 27, 2020 was $4,951 million. The general terms of the notes issued are as follows:
$1,000 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2025, at a fixed interest rate of 2.950 percent;
$1,000 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2027, at a fixed interest rate of 3.375 percent;
$1,250 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2030, at a fixed interest rate of 3.450 percent;
$500 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2040, at a fixed interest rate of 4.125 percent; and
$1,250 million total principal amount of notes due March 25, 2050, at a fixed interest rate of 4.200 percent.
As of March 27, 2020, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt included $180 million of fair value adjustments related to the remaining debt assumed in connection with our acquisition of Coca‑Cola Enterprises Inc.'s former North America business. These fair value adjustments will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 19 years, which is equal to the weighted-average maturity of the assumed debt to which these fair value adjustments relate. The amortization of these fair value adjustments will be a reduction of interest expense in future periods, which will typically result in our interest expense being less than the actual interest paid to service the debt.
Issuances of Stock
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds from issuances of stock of $413 million, an increase of $223 million when compared to cash proceeds from issuances of stock of $190 million during the three months ended March 29, 2019.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company did not repurchase common stock under the share repurchase plan authorized by our Board of Directors. The Company's treasury stock activity includes shares surrendered to the Company to pay the exercise price and/or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with so-called stock swap exercises of employee stock options and/or the vesting of restricted stock issued to employees. The Company's treasury stock activity during the three months ended March 27, 2020 resulted in a cash outflow of $94 million.

38



Dividends
During the three months ended March 27, 2020 and March 29, 2019, the Company did not make any cash payments for dividends. The Company paid the first quarter dividend in both 2020 and 2019 during the first week of April.
Our Board of Directors approved the Company's regular quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share at its April 2020 meeting. This dividend is payable on July 1, 2020 to shareowners of record as of June 15, 2020.
Foreign Exchange
Our international operations are subject to certain opportunities and risks, including currency fluctuations and governmental actions. We closely monitor our operations in each country and seek to adopt appropriate strategies that are responsive to changing economic and political environments as well as to fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Our Company conducts business in more than 200 countries and territories. Due to the geographic diversity of our operations, weakness in some foreign currencies may be offset by strength in others. Our foreign currency management program is designed to mitigate, over time, a portion of the potentially unfavorable impact of exchange rate changes on net income and earnings per share. Taking into account the effects of our hedging activities, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased our operating income for the three months ended March 27, 2020 by 3 percent.
Based on current spot rates and our hedging coverage in place, we expect foreign currency fluctuations will have an unfavorable impact on operating income and cash flows from operations through the end of the year.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have no material changes to the disclosures on this matter made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 27, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Part II. Other Information
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
Information regarding reportable legal proceedings is contained in Part I, "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as updated and supplemented below, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business, and such impacts may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, businesses, including us and our bottling partners, and the public at large to limit COVID-19's spread have had, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business including, without limitation, the following:

39



We have experienced a decrease in sales of certain of our products in markets around the world that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, sales of our products in the away-from-home channels have been significantly negatively affected by shelter-in-place regulations or recommendations, closings of restaurants and cancellations of major sporting and other events. This negative trend is likely to continue, with the most significant impact expected to occur in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. If the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies and expands geographically, its negative impacts on our sales could be more prolonged and may become more severe. While we have experienced increased sales in the at-home channels since the outbreak from pantry loading as consumers stock up on certain of our products with the expectation of spending more time at home during the crisis, such increased sales levels may not continue in the longer term and will not offset the pressure we are experiencing in the away-from-home channels.
In certain COVID-19 affected markets, consumer demand has shifted away from some of our more profitable beverages and away-from-home consumption to lower-margin products and at-home consumption, and this shift in consumer purchasing patterns is likely to continue while shelter-in-place and social distancing behaviors are mandated or encouraged.
Deteriorating economic and political conditions in many of our major markets affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as increased unemployment, decreases in disposable income, declines in consumer confidence, or economic slowdowns or recessions, could cause a further decrease in demand for our products.
We have experienced temporary disruptions in certain of our concentrate production operations. We are taking measures to protect our employees and facilities around the world, which include, but are not limited to, checking the temperature of employees when they enter our facilities, requiring employees to wear masks and other protective clothing as appropriate, and implementing additional cleaning and sanitization routines. These measures may not be sufficient to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among our employees and, therefore, we may face additional concentrate production disruptions in the future, which may place constraints on our ability to supply concentrates to our bottling partners in a timely manner or may increase our concentrate supply costs.
We have faced, and may continue to face, increasing delays in the delivery of concentrates to our bottling partners as a result of shipping delays due to, among other things, additional safety requirements imposed by port authorities, closures of or congestion at ports, and capacity constraints experienced by our transportation contractors.
Some of our bottling partners have experienced, and may experience in the future, temporary plant closures, production slowdowns and disruptions in distribution operations as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their respective businesses.
Disruptions in supply chains may place constraints on our and our bottling partners’ ability to source beverage containers, such as glass bottles and cans, which may increase our and their packaging costs.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against certain key foreign currencies, which negatively affected, and we expect will continue to negatively affect, our reported results of operations and financial condition.
Our borrowing costs have increased as a result of disruptions and increased volatility and pricing in the commercial paper and debt markets caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and, if the current uncertain conditions in the credit markets continue or worsen, our borrowing costs may continue to increase.
The current uncertain credit market conditions and their actual or perceived effects on our and our major bottling partners' results of operations and financial condition, along with the current unfavorable economic environment in the United States and much of the world, may increase the likelihood that one or more of the major independent credit agencies will downgrade our credit ratings, which could have a negative effect on our borrowing costs.
Governmental authorities in the United States and throughout the world may increase or impose new income taxes or indirect taxes, or revise interpretations of existing tax rules and regulations, as a means of financing the costs of stimulus and other measures enacted or taken, or that may be enacted or taken in the future, to protect populations and economies from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such actions could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
We rely on third-party service providers and business partners, such as cloud data storage and other information technology service providers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, joint venture partners and other external business partners, for certain functions or for services in support of key portions of our operations. These third-party service providers and business partners are subject to risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may interfere with their ability to fulfill their respective commitments and responsibilities to us in a timely manner and in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.

40



The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause one or more of our counterparty financial institutions to fail or default on their obligations to us, which could cause us to incur significant losses.
We may be required to record significant impairment charges with respect to noncurrent assets, including trademarks, bottler franchise rights, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity method investments and other long-lived assets whose fair values may be negatively affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. Also, we may be required to write off obsolete inventory and the unamortized balances of advanced funding provided to customers that permanently close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s damaging impacts on their respective businesses. In addition, we are required to record impairment charges related to our proportionate share of impairment charges that may be recorded by equity method investees, and such charges may be significant.
The significant declines in the equity markets and in the valuation of other assets precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively affected the values of our pension plan assets. If these negative effects continue and the fair values of our pension plan assets remain lower than pre-pandemic levels, we may incur increased pension expense in future periods.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related governmental guidance or directives, we have required most office-based employees, including most employees based at our global headquarters in Atlanta, to work remotely. We may experience reductions in productivity and disruptions to our business routines while our remote work policy remains in place.
Actions we have taken or may take, or decisions we have made or may make, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in legal claims or litigation against us.
The resumption of normal business operations after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may be delayed or constrained by its lingering effects on our bottling partners, consumers, suppliers or third-party service providers.
Any of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those described above, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Item 5. Other Information
Effective April 22, 2020, our Board of Directors amended and restated the Company's By-Laws (the "Amended and Restated By-Laws") to add a new by-law, which specifies that the Company's state of incorporation, Delaware, is the designated and exclusive forum in which covered litigation would be filed, unless the Company consents otherwise. This amendment does not deny substantive claims under Delaware law that shareowners are legally entitled to bring and is intended to help prevent duplicative, multi-forum litigation, which can cost the Company a significant amount of resources to defend and lead to inconsistent results. Furthermore, the new by-law channels such litigation to the courts in Delaware, which is the Company's state of incorporation as noted above and a forum uniquely positioned to apply Delaware corporate law, to adjudicate these claims that arise under Delaware law.
A copy of the Amended and Restated By-Laws, reflecting the amendment described above, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.

BY-LAWS OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED THROUGH APRIL 22, 2020
ARTICLE I
SHAREHOLDERS:
Section 1. Place, Date and Time of Holding Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place, date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. In the absence of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors establishing such place, date and time, the annual meeting shall be held at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, on the third Wednesday in April of each year at 9:00 A.M. (local time).
Section 2. Voting. Each outstanding share of common stock of the Company is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote. Except as provided below, all actions shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast unless a greater vote is required by the laws of Delaware. A shareholder may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedures established for the meeting. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or the transmission that could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. A nominee for director election shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such nominee at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. In an election of directors, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee must exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to such nominee (excluding abstentions). If a director is not elected, the director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the resignation taking into account the recommendation of the Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 100 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the decisions of the Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance or the Board of Directors that concern such resignation. If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors pursuant to this By-Law, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Article

 

        

VI, Section 2 or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Article II, Section 1.
Section 3. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of shareholders. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.
Section 4. Adjournment of Meetings. In the absence of a quorum or for any other reason, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time. If the adjournment is not for more than thirty days, the adjourned meeting may be held without notice other than an announcement at the meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by, and only by, (i) the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iv) solely to the extent required by Section 5(b), the Secretary of the Company.

(b) Shareholder Requested Special Meetings.
(i) Special meetings of the shareholders (each a “Shareholder Requested Special Meeting”) shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request of a shareholder (or a group of shareholders formed for the purpose of making such request) who or which has Net Long Beneficial Ownership (as defined below) of 25% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (the “Requisite Percent”) as of the date of submission of the request. Compliance by the requesting shareholder or group of shareholders with the requirements of this section and related provisions of these By-Laws shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the shareholders.
“Net Long Beneficial Ownership” (and its correlative terms), when used to describe the nature of a shareholder’s ownership of common stock of the Company, shall mean those shares of common stock of the Company as to which the shareholder in question possesses (x) the sole power to vote or direct the voting, (y) the sole economic incidents of ownership (including the sole right to profits and the sole risk of loss), and (z) the sole power to dispose of or direct the disposition. The number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall not include any shares (1) sold by such shareholder in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such shareholder for any purposes or purchased by such shareholder pursuant to an agreement

2


        

to resell or (3) subject to any option, warrant, derivative or other agreement or understanding, whether any such arrangement is to be settled with shares of common stock of the Company or with cash based on the notional amount of shares subject thereto, in any such case which has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (A) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s rights to vote or direct the voting and full rights to dispose or direct the disposition of any of such shares or (B) offsetting to any degree gain or loss arising from the sole economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder.
(ii) A request for a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting must be signed by the Net Long Beneficial Owners of the Requisite Percent of the Company’s common stock (or their duly authorized agents) and be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company by registered mail, return receipt requested.
Such request shall (A) set forth a statement of the specific purpose or purposes of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at such special meeting, (B) bear the date of signature of each shareholder (or duly authorized agent) signing the request, (C) set forth (w) the name and address, as they appear in the Company’s books, of each shareholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the request is signed), (x) the number of shares of common stock of the Company as to which such shareholder has Net Long Beneficial Ownership, (y) include evidence of the fact and duration of such shareholder’s beneficial ownership of such stock consistent with that which is required under Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") and (z) a certification from each such shareholder that the shareholders signing the request in the aggregate satisfy the Net Long Beneficial Ownership requirement of these By-Laws, (D) set forth all information relating to each such shareholder that must be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case, pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act, (E) describe any material interest of each such shareholder in the specific purpose or purposes of the meeting, and (F) include an acknowledgment by each shareholder and any duly authorized agent that any disposition of shares of common stock of the Company as to which such shareholder has Net Long Beneficial Ownership as of the date of delivery of the special meeting request and prior to the record date for the proposed meeting requested by such shareholder shall constitute a revocation of such request with respect to such shares. In addition, the shareholder and any duly authorized agent shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Company to allow it to satisfy its obligations under applicable law.
Any requesting shareholder may revoke a request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company. If, following such revocation at any time before the date of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, the remaining requests are from shareholders holding in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percent, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting of shareholders if (A) the request for such special meeting does not

(iv) Any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be held at such date, time and place within or without the state of Delaware as may be fixed by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be not more than sixty (60) days after the record date for such meeting (the “Meeting Record Date”), which shall be fixed in accordance with Article I, Section 9 of these By-Laws. In fixing a date and time for any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant within the good faith exercise of business judgment, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the special meeting and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting.
(v) Business transacted at any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be limited to the purpose(s) stated in the request; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from submitting matters to a vote of the shareholders at any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting.

Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business (other than the nominations for the election of directors) shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10, and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
Section 11. Election of Directors. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11 or the procedures set forth in Section 12 of this Article I shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Company may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors. Nominations may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) at an annual meeting by any shareholder of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11, (iii) at an annual meeting by a shareholder or group of shareholders of the Company who complies with the notice and other requirements set forth in Article I, Section 12 of these By-Laws or (iv) at a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting by a shareholder or group of shareholders of the Company who complies with the notice and other requirements set forth in Article I, Section 5 of these By-Laws.

Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth (i) as to each person, if any, whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director: (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by such person, (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee or any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the shareholder, and (E) any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including, without limitation, such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to such shareholder giving notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 10. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by a shareholder for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Company that

The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these By-Laws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Section 12. Proxy Access for Director Nominations.
(a) The Company shall include in its proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders the name, together with the Required Information (as defined below), of any person nominated for election (a “Shareholder Nominee”) to the Board of Directors by a shareholder that satisfies, or by a group of no more than twenty (20) shareholders that satisfy, the requirements of this Section 12 (an “Eligible Shareholder”), and that expressly elects at the time of providing the notice required by this Section 12 (the “Nomination Notice”) to have its nominee included in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 12.
(b) To be timely, a shareholder’s Nomination Notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days nor more than one hundred and fifty (150) days prior to the anniversary of the date the Company commenced mailing of its proxy materials in connection with the most recent annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than thirty (30) days before or seventy (70) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, in order to be timely the Nomination Notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of one hundred and twenty (120) days in advance of such annual meeting or ten (10) days following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Nomination Notice as described above.
(c) For purposes of this Section 12, the “Required Information” that the Company will include in its proxy statement is (i) the information concerning the Shareholder Nominee and the Eligible Shareholder that is required to be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement by the regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act; and (ii) if the Eligible Shareholder so elects, a Statement (as defined below). To be timely, the Required Information must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary within the time period specified in this Section 12 for providing the Nomination Notice,
(d) The number of Shareholder Nominees (including Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 12 but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors decides to nominate as Board of Director nominees) appearing in the Company’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders shall not exceed the greater of (i) two or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Nomination Notice may be delivered pursuant to this Section 12, or if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number below twenty percent (20%). In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted

8


        

by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section 12 exceeds this maximum number, each Eligible Shareholder will select one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the capital stock of the Company each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in its respective Nomination Notice submitted to the Company and confirmed by the Company. If the maximum number is not reached after each Eligible Shareholder has selected one Shareholder Nominee, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number is reached.
(e) For purposes of this Section 12, an Eligible Shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company as to which the shareholder possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (x) sold by such shareholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (y) borrowed by such shareholder or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such shareholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such shareholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Company, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s or its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder or affiliate. A shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A person’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which (i) the person has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on three (3) business days’ notice; or (ii) the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its shareholders.
(f) An Eligible Shareholder must have owned (as defined above) continuously for at least three (3) years that number of shares of capital stock as shall constitute three percent (3%) or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (the “Required Shares”) as of both (i) a date within seven (7) days prior to the date of the Nomination Notice and (ii) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting. For purposes of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirement under this Section 12, (i) the

9


        

shares of the capital stock of the Company owned by one or more shareholders, or by the person or persons who own shares of the capital stock of the Company and on whose behalf any shareholder is acting, may be aggregated, provided that the number of shareholders and other persons whose ownership of shares of capital stock of the Company is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed twenty (20), and (ii) a group of funds under common management and investment control shall be treated as one shareholder or person for this purpose. No person may be a member of more than one group of persons constituting an Eligible Shareholder under this Section 12. For the avoidance of doubt, if a group of shareholders aggregates ownership of shares in order to meet the requirements under this Section 12, all shares held by each shareholder constituting their contribution to the foregoing 3% threshold must be held by that shareholder continuously for at least three (3) years, and evidence of such continuous ownership shall be provided as specified in this Section 12(f).
Within the time period specified in this Section 12 for providing the Nomination Notice, an Eligible Shareholder must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary of the Company:
(i) one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three (3)-year holding period) verifying that, as of a date within seven (7) days prior to the date of the Nomination Notice, the Eligible Shareholder owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three (3) years, the Required Shares, and the Eligible Shareholder’s agreement to provide, within five (5) business days after the record date for the annual meeting, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Eligible Shareholder’s continuous ownership of the Required Shares through the record date;
(ii) the written consent of each Shareholder Nominee to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, together with the information and representations that would be required to be set forth in a shareholder’s notice of a nomination pursuant to Section 11 of this Article I;
(iii) a copy of the Schedule 14N that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by Rule 14a-18 under the 1934 Act, as such rule may be amended;
(iv) a representation that the Eligible Shareholder (including each member of any group of shareholders that together is an Eligible Shareholder under this Section 12) (A) acquired the Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control at the Company, and does not presently have such intent, (B) has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting any person other than the Shareholder Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this Section 12, (C) has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not and will not be a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the 1934 Act in support of the election of any individual as a director at the annual meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee or a nominee of the Board of Directors, (D) will not distribute to any shareholder any form of proxy for the annual

10


        

meeting other than the form distributed by the Company and (E) in the case of a nomination by a group of shareholders that together is an Eligible Shareholder, the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all such members with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including any withdrawal of the nomination; and
(v) an undertaking that the Eligible Shareholder agrees to (A) own the Required Shares through the date of the annual meeting, (B) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Shareholder’s communications with the shareholders of the Company or out of the information that the Eligible Shareholder provided to the Company, (C) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Company or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of any nomination, solicitation or other activity by the Eligible Shareholder in connection with its efforts to elect the Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 12, (D) comply with all other laws and regulations applicable to any solicitation in connection with the annual meeting and (E) provide to the Company prior to the annual meeting such additional information as necessary with respect thereto.
(g) The Eligible Shareholder may provide to the Secretary of the Company, at the time the information required by this Section 12 is provided, a written statement for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the annual meeting, not to exceed five hundred (500) words, in support of the Shareholder Nominee’s candidacy (the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12, the Company may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law or regulation.
(h) Within the time period specified in this Section 12 for delivering the Nomination Notice, a Shareholder Nominee must deliver to the Secretary of the Company a written representation and agreement that the Shareholder Nominee (i) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Company, will act or vote on any issue or question that has not been disclosed to the Company, (ii) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Company with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the Company, and (iii) will comply with all the Company’s corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines, and any other Company policies and guidelines applicable to directors, as well as any applicable law, rule or regulation or listing requirement. At the request of the Company, the Shareholder Nominee must submit all completed and signed questionnaires required of the Company’s directors and officers. The Company may request such additional information as necessary to permit the Board of Directors to determine if each Shareholder Nominee is independent under the listing standards of the principal U.S.

11


        

exchange upon which the Company’s capital stock is listed, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing the independence of the Company’s directors (the “Applicable Independence Standards”). If the Board of Directors determines that the Shareholder Nominee is not independent under the Applicable Independence Standards, the Shareholder Nominee will not be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials.
(i) Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the Company’s proxy materials for a particular annual meeting of shareholders but either (i) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the annual meeting, or (ii) does not receive at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the votes cast “for” the Shareholder Nominee’s election, will be ineligible to be a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 12 for the next two (2) annual meetings.
(j) The Company shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 12, any Shareholder Nominees in its proxy materials for any meeting of shareholders (i) for which the Secretary of Company receives a notice that a shareholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominees for director set forth in Section 11 of this Article I and such shareholder does not expressly elect at the time of providing the notice to have its nominee included in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 12, (ii) if the Eligible Shareholder who has nominated such Shareholder Nominee has engaged in or is currently engaged in, or has been or is a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the 1934 Act in support of the election of any individual as a director at the meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Board of Directors, (iii) who is not independent under the Applicable Independence Standards, as determined by the Board of Directors, (iv) whose election as a member of the Board of Directors would cause the Company to be in violation of these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation, the listing standards of the principal exchange upon which the Company’s capital stock is traded, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, (v) who is or has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, (vi) who is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in such a criminal proceeding within the past ten (10) years, (vii) who is subject to any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (viii) if such Shareholder Nominee or the applicable Eligible Shareholder shall have provided information to the Company in respect to such nomination that was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading, as determined by the Board of Directors, or (ix) if the Eligible Shareholder or applicable Shareholder Nominee otherwise contravenes any of the agreements or representations made by such Eligible Shareholder or Shareholder Nominee or fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 12.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the

19


        

circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to a proceeding to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII, the Company shall be required to indemnify a person under this Article VII in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

The determination of a claimant’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made within a reasonable time, and in any event within no more than 60 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request for indemnification, together with the supporting documentation required by this Section.

20


        

judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal, that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Article.

(b)        Recipient understands that KO and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of KO Stock or directorships held in KO, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)        Recipient understands that Data will be transferred to one or more stock plan service provider(s) selected by KO, which may assist KO with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different, including less stringent, data privacy laws and protections than Recipient’s country.  Recipient understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting a local human resources representative.  Recipient authorizes KO and any other possible recipients that may assist KO (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing Recipient’s participation in the Plan.

The following provisions shall apply to the Recipient only if he or she resides in the UK, EU or EEA:
(e)        Data Collected and Purposes of Collection.  Recipient understands that KO, acting as controller, as well as the employer, may collect, to the extent permissible under applicable law, certain personal information about him or her, including name, home address and telephone number, information necessary to process the Award (e.g., mailing address for a check payment or bank account wire transfer information), date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, employment location, any capital shares or directorships held in KO (but only where needed for legal or tax compliance), any other information necessary to process mandatory tax withholding and reporting, details of all Awards granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, and where applicable service termination date and reason for termination  (all such personal information is referred to as “Data”).  The Data is collected from the Recipient, the employer, and from KO, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The legal basis (that is, the legal justification) for processing the Data is to perform this Agreement.

The Data must be provided in order for Recipient to participate in the Plan and for the parties to this Agreement to perform their respective obligations thereunder.  If Recipient does not provide Data, he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan and become a party to this Agreement.
(f)        Transfers and Retention of Data.  Recipient understands that the employer will transfer Data to KO for purposes of plan administration. KO and the employer may also transfer Recipient’s Data to other service providers (such as accounting firms, payroll processing firms or tax firms), as may be selected by KO in the future, to assist KO with the implementation, administration and management of this Agreement.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission.  Where a recipient is located in a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, the transfer of the Data to that recipient will be made pursuant to an adequate transfer mechanism, such as the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, a copy of which may be obtained at samori@coca-cola.com. Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement, and for the duration of the relevant statutes of limitations, which may be longer than the term of this Agreement.
(g)        Rights in Respect of Data. KO will take steps in accordance with applicable legislation to keep Data accurate, complete and up-to-date.  Recipient is entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete or incorrect Data corrected (that is, rectified).  Recipient also has the right to request access to his or her Data as well as additional information about the processing of that Data.  Further, Recipient is entitled to object to the processing of Data or have his or her Data erased, under certain circumstances.  As from May 25, 2018, and subject to conditions set forth in applicable law, Recipient also is entitled to (i) restrict the processing of his or her Data so that it is stored but not actively processed (e.g., while KO assesses whether he or she is entitled to have Data erased) and (ii) receive a copy of the Data provided pursuant to this Agreement or generated by Recipient, in a common machine-readable format.  To exercise his or her rights, Recipient may contact a local human resources representative.  Recipient may also contact the relevant data protection supervisory authority, as he or she has the right to lodge a complaint.  The data protection officer may be contacted at samori@coca-cola.com.

(g)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of the Recipient’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or

Please be aware that as set forth in Section 1 of the Act, the Act only applies to “employees” as that term is defined in Section 2 of the Act.  If the Grantee is a member of the registered management of a Subsidiary or affiliate in Denmark or otherwise does not satisfy the definition of employee, the Grantee will not be subject to the Act and the Employer Statement will not apply to him or her.

Securities/Tax Reporting Information.  The Grantee may hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g., a brokerage account) with either a Danish bank or with an approved foreign broker or bank.  If the shares of Stock are held with a foreign broker or bank, the Grantee is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the safety-deposit account.  For this purpose, the Grantee must file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration.  The Grantee must sign the Form V and the broker or bank may sign the Form V.  By signing the Form V, the broker or bank undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the shares of Stock in the safety-deposit account.  In the event that the applicable broker or bank with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Grantee will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account and any shares of Stock acquired in connection with the Plan and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Grantee’s annual income tax return.  By signing the Form V, the Grantee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of the Form V can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=47392.
In addition, if the Grantee opens a brokerage account (or a deposit account with a U.S. bank), the brokerage account (or bank account, as applicable) will be treated as a deposit account because cash can be held in the account.  Therefore, the Grantee must also file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration.  Both the Grantee and the broker must sign the Form K unless an exemption from the broker/bank signature requirement is granted by the Danish Tax Administration. It is possible to seek the exemption on the Form K, which the Grantee should do at the time the Grantee submits the Form K.  By signing the Form K, the broker or bank, as applicable, undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the deposit account.  In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker or bank) with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Grantee will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Grantee’s annual income tax return.   By signing the Form K, the Grantee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of Form K can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=42409&newwindow=true.

(b)        Recipient understands that KO and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of KO Stock or directorships held in KO, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)        Recipient understands that Data will be transferred to one or more stock plan service provider(s) selected by KO, which may assist KO with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different, including less stringent, data privacy laws and protections than Recipient’s country.  Recipient understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting a local human resources representative.  Recipient authorizes KO and any other possible recipients that may assist KO (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing Recipient’s participation in the Plan.
(d)        Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.  Recipient understands that if he or she resides in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, to the extent required by applicable laws, Recipient may, at any time, request access to Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents given by accepting the Award, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing a local human resources representative.  Further, Recipient understands that he or she is providing these consents on a purely voluntary basis.  If Recipient does not consent or if he or she later seeks to revoke consent, his or her engagement as a service provider with KO or an Affiliate will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that KO will not be able to grant him or her awards under the Plan or administer or maintain awards.  Therefore, Recipient understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan (including the right to retain the Award).  Recipient understands that he or she may contact a local human resources representative for more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent.
The following provisions shall apply to the Recipient only if he or she resides in the UK, EU or EEA:
(e)        Data Collected and Purposes of Collection.  Recipient understands that KO, acting as controller, as well as the employer, may collect, to the extent permissible under applicable law, certain personal information about him or her, including name, home address and telephone number, information necessary to process the Award (e.g., mailing address for a check payment or bank account wire transfer information), date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, employment location, any capital shares or directorships held in KO (but only where needed for legal or tax compliance), any other information necessary to process mandatory tax withholding and reporting, details of all Awards granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, and where applicable service termination date and reason for termination  (all such personal information is referred to as “Data”).  The Data is collected from the Recipient, the employer, and from KO, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The legal basis (that is, the legal justification) for processing the Data is to perform this Agreement.  The Data must be provided in order for Recipient to participate in the Plan and for the parties to this Agreement to

5



perform their respective obligations thereunder.  If Recipient does not provide Data, he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan and become a party to this Agreement.
(f)        Transfers and Retention of Data.  Recipient understands that the employer will transfer Data to KO for purposes of plan administration. KO and the employer may also transfer Recipient’s Data to other service providers (such as accounting firms, payroll processing firms or tax firms), as may be selected by KO in the future, to assist KO with the implementation, administration and management of this Agreement.  Recipient understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission.  Where a recipient is located in a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, the transfer of the Data to that recipient will be made pursuant to an adequate transfer mechanism, such as the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, a copy of which may be obtained at samori@coca-cola.com. Recipient understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement, and for the duration of the relevant statutes of limitations, which may be longer than the term of this Agreement.
(g)    Rights in Respect of Data. KO will take steps in accordance with applicable legislation to keep Data accurate, complete and up-to-date.  Recipient is entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete or incorrect Data corrected (that is, rectified).  Recipient also has the right to request access to his or her Data as well as additional information about the processing of that Data.  Further, Recipient is entitled to object to the processing of Data or have his or her Data erased, under certain circumstances.  As from May 25, 2018, and subject to conditions set forth in applicable law, Recipient also is entitled to (i) restrict the processing of his or her Data so that it is stored but not actively processed (e.g., while KO assesses whether he or she is entitled to have Data erased) and (ii) receive a copy of the Data provided pursuant to this Agreement or generated by Recipient, in a common machine-readable format.  To exercise his or her rights, Recipient may contact a local human resources representative.  Recipient may also contact the relevant data protection supervisory authority, as he or she has the right to lodge a complaint.  The data protection officer may be contacted at samori@coca-cola.com.

(g)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of the Recipient’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Recipient is employed or

6



the terms of the Recipient’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Award to which the Recipient is otherwise not entitled, the Recipient irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Recipient shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim; and
(i)    the Award and the Recipient’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or services contract with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate the Recipient’s employment or service relationship (if any); and
(j)    if the Recipient is providing services outside the United States, the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Recipient’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Recipient pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

(15)    Entire Agreement; Severability. The Plan and this Agreement set forth the entire understanding between the Recipient, the Employer, the Company, and any Affiliate regarding the acquisition of the Shares and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to this Award. If all or any part or application of the provisions of this Agreement are held or determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between Recipient and the Company, each and all of the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Please be aware that as set forth in Section 1 of the Act, the Act only applies to “employees” as that term is defined in Section 2 of the Act.  If the Grantee is a member of the registered management of a Subsidiary or affiliate in Denmark or otherwise does not satisfy the definition of employee, the Grantee will not be subject to the Act and the Employer Statement will not apply to him or her.

Securities/Tax Reporting Information.  The Grantee may hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g., a brokerage account) with either a Danish bank or with an approved foreign broker or bank.  If the shares of Stock are held with a foreign broker or bank, the Grantee is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the safety-deposit account.  For this purpose, the Grantee must file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration.  The Grantee must sign the Form V and the broker or bank may sign the Form V.  By signing the Form V, the broker or bank undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the shares of Stock in the safety-deposit account.  In the event that the applicable broker or bank with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Grantee will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account and any shares of Stock acquired in connection with the Plan and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Grantee’s annual income tax return.  By signing the Form V, the Grantee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of the Form V can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=47392.
In addition, if the Grantee opens a brokerage account (or a deposit account with a U.S. bank), the brokerage account (or bank account, as applicable) will be treated as a deposit account because cash can be held in the account.  Therefore, the Grantee must also file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration.  Both the Grantee and the broker must sign the Form K unless an exemption from the broker/bank signature requirement is granted by the Danish Tax Administration. It is possible to seek the exemption on the Form K, which the Grantee should do at the time the Grantee submits the Form K.  By signing the Form K, the broker or bank, as applicable, undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the deposit account.  In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker or bank) with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Grantee will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Grantee’s annual income tax return.   By signing the Form K, the Grantee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of Form K can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=42409&newwindow=true.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  If the Grantee establishes an account holding shares of Stock or cash outside of Denmark, the Grantee must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration.  The form which should be used to make the report can be obtained from a local bank.  (Please note that these obligations are separate from and in addition to the obligations described above.)

(a)    The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration of the Plan. As such, the Committee is the "Plan Administrator" and a "named fiduciary" of the Plan (as those terms are used in ERISA). In the absence of the appointment of a Committee, the functions and powers of the Committee shall reside with the Company. The Committee, in the exercise of its authority, shall discharge its duties with respect to the Plan in accordance with ERISA and corresponding regulations, as amended from time to time.
(b)    The Committee shall establish regulations for the day-to-day administration of the Plan. The Committee and its designated agents shall have the exclusive right and discretion to interpret the terms and conditions of the Plan and to decide all matters arising with respect to the Plan's administration and operation (including factual issues). Any interpretations or decisions so made shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. The Committee or its designee may pay the expenses of administering the Plan or may reimburse the Company or other person performing administrative services with respect to the Plan if the Company or such other person directly pays such expenses at the request of the Committee.
4.2    Authority to Appoint Advisors and Agents.     The Committee and Severance Benefit Committee may appoint, designate and employ such persons as it may deem advisable and as it may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. To the extent permitted by law, the members of the Committee and the Administrator shall be fully protected by any action taken in reliance upon advice given by such persons and in reliance on tables, valuations, certificates, determinations, opinions and reports that are furnished by any accountant, counsel, claims administrator or other expert who is employed or engaged by the Committee.
4.3    Compensation and Expenses of Committee.     The members of the Committee shall receive no compensation for its duties hereunder, but the Committee shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of its duties, including counsel fees and expenses. Such expenses of the Committee, including the compensation of administrators, actuaries, counsel, agents or others that the Committee may employ, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company.
4.4    Records.     The Committee shall keep or cause to be kept books and records with respect to the operations and administration of this Plan.
4.5    Indemnification of Committee.     The Company agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any employee serving as a member of the Committee and the Administrator or as their delegate(s) against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Company, occasioned by any act or failure to act in connection with the Plan, unless such act or omission arises out of such employee's gross negligence, willful neglect or willful misconduct.

-9-



4.6    Fiduciary Responsibility Insurance, Bonding.     If the Company has not done so, the Committee may purchase appropriate insurance on behalf of the Plan and the Plan's fiduciaries to cover liability or losses occurring by reason of the acts or omissions of a fiduciary; provided, however, that such insurance to the extent purchased by the Plan must permit recourse by the insurer against the fiduciary in the case of a breach of a fiduciary duty or obligation by such fiduciary. The cost of such insurance shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company. The Committee may also obtain a bond covering all the Plan's fiduciaries, to be paid from the general assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 5    
CLAIMS PROCEDURE

5.1
Right to File a Claim. Any Participant who believes he is entitled to a benefit

The Administrator may require such claimant to submit additional documentation, if necessary, in support of the initial claim.

5.2    Denial of a Claim. Any claimant whose claim to any benefit hereunder has been denied in whole or in part shall receive a notice from the Administrator within 90 days of such filing or within 180 days after such receipt if special circumstances require an extension of time. If the Administrator determines that an extension of time is required, the claimant will be notified in writing of the extension and reason for the extension within 90 days after the Administrator’s receipt of the claim. The extension notice will also include the date by which the Administrator expects to make the benefit determination. The notice of the denial of the claim will set forth the specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial was based and an explanation of the procedure for review of the denial.

5.3    Claim Review Procedure. A claimant may appeal the denial of a claim to the Committee by written request for review to be made within 60 days after receiving notice of the denial. The request for review shall set forth all grounds on which it is based, together with supporting facts and evidence that the claimant deems pertinent, and the Committee shall give the claimant the opportunity to review pertinent Plan documents in preparing the request. The Committee may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it deems necessary or advisable in making its review. The Committee will provide the claimant a written or electronic notice of the decision within 60 days after receipt of the request for review, except that, if there are special circumstances requiring an extension of time for processing, the 60-day period may be extended for an additional 60 days.

ARTICLE 1    
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS    
1.1    Plan Is Not an Employment Contract.     This Plan is not a contract of employment, and neither the Plan nor the payment of any benefits will be construed as giving to any person any legal or equitable right to employment by the Company or any Affiliate.

The Committee shall have the right to make the final determination of whether a fraud has been attempted or committed upon the Plan or if a misrepresentation of fact has been made, and its decision shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons. The Plan shall have the right to fully recover any amounts, with interest, improperly paid by the Plan by reason of fraud, attempted fraud or misrepresentation of fact by a Participant and to pursue all other legal or equitable remedies.

-11-

3.
How to exercise the Options. In order to exercise an Option, it must be vested and must not have expired, and the optionee must do the following:
(a)
Pay the option price. The optionee must pay the option price. The optionee shall be informed of the acceptable form and method of payment at or before the time the optionee informs KO of his or her intention to exercise the Option. The acceptable forms and methods of payment of the option price may include payment in cash, pursuant to a cashless exercise authorized by KO, or by delivery, through attestation, of shares of KO Stock owned by the optionee. Not all forms and methods of payment are available in every country. The value of any shares delivered to pay the option price shall be computed on the basis of the most recent reported market price at which a share of KO Stock shall have been sold prior to the time of processing the optionee's election to deliver shares in payment of the option price, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing.
(b)
Complete all paperwork. The optionee must complete, sign and return any paperwork required by KO or by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith ("Merrill Lynch"), or such other agent as may administer the Option program on behalf of KO from time to time.
(c)
Pay applicable Tax-Related Items.
Irrespective of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the optionee’s employer (the “Employer”), the optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, National Insurance Contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the responsibility of the optionee or the optionee’s estate or legal representative (as applicable) and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The optionee acknowledges and understands that the requirements with respect to the Tax-Related Items may change from time to time as applicable laws or interpretations change.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the optionee authorizes the Company, the Employer, and their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any tax withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
withholding from the optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the optionee by the Company and/or the Employer, or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of KO Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company. In this regard, the optionee agrees that, should KO or any Affiliate in its reasonable judgment determine that Tax-Related Items withholding is required upon exercise of the options, KO may instruct Merrill Lynch to withhold and/or sell shares of KO Stock acquired by the optionee upon exercise of his or her options, or
If the optionee is a U.S. taxpayer, he or she may elect to satisfy federal, state and local income Tax-Related Items liabilities due by reason of the exercise by having shares of KO Stock withheld or by




delivering shares of KO Stock to the Company. The value of withheld shares shall be computed as described in paragraph 3(a) above.
If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of KO Stock, for tax purposes, the optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding that a number of the shares are retained solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
In addition, the optionee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the KO Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the optionee fails to comply with the optionee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
The optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the issuance of shares of KO Stock upon exercise, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the optionee is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. For optionees who are Global Mobility Associates, all Tax-Related Items remain the optionee’s responsibility, except as expressly provided in KO’s Global Mobility Policy and/or tax equalization program.
(d)
Pay applicable fees. The optionee agrees to pay to Merrill Lynch any costs associated with the sale of shares of KO Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options, whether such shares are sold to pay the option price, to satisfy Tax-Related Items or for other reasons.
(e)
Right of set-off. By accepting this Agreement, the optionee agrees that, should KO or any Affiliate in its reasonable judgment determine that optionee owes KO or any Affiliate any amount due to any loan, note, obligation or indebtedness, including but not limited to amounts owed to KO pursuant to KO’s tax equalization program or KO’s policies with respect to travel and business expenses, and if the optionee has not satisfied such obligation(s), then KO may instruct Merrill Lynch to withhold and/or sell shares of KO Stock acquired by the optionee upon exercise of his or her Options, or KO may deduct funds equal to the amount of such obligation from the optionee's salary or other funds due to the optionee from KO.
(f)
Comply with additional restrictions. The optionee agrees that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of KO (the “Committee”), or its designee, may, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion at or before the time the optionee informs KO of his or her intention to exercise the Option, establish any additional conditions or restrictions with respect to the exercise of the Option, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the acceptable form or method of payment of the option price and restrictions for failing to promptly submit to KO or any Affiliate, a tax organizer, or such other tax-related documents reasonably requested by KO or, if different, the Employer, pursuant to KO’s tax equalization program (if optionee is a participant in such program). The optionee shall be informed of such restrictions. The optionee agrees to comply with any such additional conditions or restrictions.
4.
Non‑qualified Option under U.S. Tax Laws. The Options are not intended to be, and shall not be treated as, incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5.
Options are not transferable. The optionee may not assign or transfer the Options in any situation, including, but not limited to, divorce; provided that upon the optionee's death the Options may be transferred to the executor or administrator of the estate. During the lifetime of the optionee, the Options shall be exercisable only by the optionee personally or, in the event of the optionee's Disability if a legal representative has been appointed to act on behalf of the optionee, then by the optionee's legal representative.
6.
Forfeiture of Options and Option gain In the event optionee shall engage in a “Prohibited Activity” (as defined on Schedule A hereto), at any time during the term of the Options, or within one year after termination of optionee’s employment from KO, the Employer or any Affiliate, or within one year after exercise of all or any portion of the Options, whichever occurs latest, this Option shall be rescinded and, if applicable, any gain associated with any exercise of this Option shall be forfeited and repaid to KO. Accordingly, if the optionee engages in a Prohibited Activity, then:
(a)
as of the date that the optionee participates in such Prohibited Activity, all unexercised portions of this Option immediately and automatically shall terminate, be forfeited, and shall cease to be exercisable (unless such Option has been terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of the Plan or this Agreement); and
(b)
within ten days after receiving from KO written notice of the termination of this Option, the optionee shall pay to KO any and all gains associated with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, plus interest calculated from the time of such notice through the date of repayment to KO. The gain associated with the




exercise of any portion of this Option shall be the closing price per share on the date of the exercise thereof, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing, less the option price per share shown above, multiplied by the number of Options exercised. Interest shall be calculated using the weighted prime rate at SunTrust Bank, Atlanta.
Optionee may be released from the effects of this section if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such action is in the best interest of KO and its stockholders.
Optionee expressly acknowledges and affirms that the foregoing provisions of this section are material and important terms of this Agreement, and optionee expressly agrees that if all or any part or application of the foregoing provisions of this section are held or determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between optionee and KO, KO shall be entitled to receive from optionee, in exchange for the exercise price per share shown above, all shares of KO Stock acquired by optionee upon exercise of any portion of the Option and held by optionee. If optionee has sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any shares of KO Stock acquired by optionee upon exercise of any portion of the Option, KO shall be entitled to receive from optionee the gain associated with such sale, transfer or disposal, plus interest calculated through the date of payment to KO. The gain associated with the sale, transfer or other disposal of any share of KO Stock acquired by optionee upon exercise of any portion of the Option shall be the closing price per share on the date of such sale, transfer or disposal, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions listing, less the option price per share shown above, multiplied by the number of shares of KO Stock sold, transferred or disposed of. Interest shall be calculated using the weighted prime rate at SunTrust Bank, Atlanta.
7.
Stock ownership guidelines and agreement to retain net shares. If the optionee is subject to KO’s stock ownership guidelines, the optionee expressly agrees as a condition of this grant that if optionee has not met the applicable stock ownership guidelines within the time prescribed therein, optionee will not sell the number of shares of KO Stock obtained upon exercise of the Options (after paying the Tax‑Related Items and the option price, if applicable) until the optionee has satisfied the optionee's share ownership guidelines and then only shares in excess of those guidelines. Section 16 Executive Officers who have not yet met their stock ownership objective agree to retain at least 50% of shares (after paying taxes) obtained from option exercises until the optionee has satisfied his or her share ownership guidelines. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the optionee’s ability to execute a cashless exercise.
8.

Written notice to these addresses shall be effective to bind KO, the optionee and the optionee's successors and assigns.
9.
Administrative matters. The optionee hereby agrees that the Committee may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, establish such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan, and may make determinations and may take such other action in connection with or in relation to the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable. Each determination or other action made or taken pursuant to the Plan, including interpretation of the Plan and the specific conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the Options, shall be final and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons including, but without limitation, KO, Affiliates, the Committee, the KO Board of Directors, officers and the affected employees of KO, and the optionees and their respective successors in interest.
When the issuance or transfer of KO Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option may, in the opinion of KO, conflict or be inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation of any governmental agency having jurisdiction, KO reserves the right to refuse to issue or transfer that KO Stock.
10.
Data Privacy. The following provisions shall apply to the optionee only if he or she resides outside the US, UK, the EU and EEA:




(a)
Optionee voluntarily consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Plan materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, KO and any Affiliate or employer for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing his or her participation in the Plan.
(b)
Optionee understands that KO and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of KO Stock or directorships held in KO, details of all equity awards or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan.
(c)
Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to one or more stock plan service provider(s) selected by KO, which may assist KO with the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan.  Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different, including less stringent, data privacy laws and protections than optionee’s country.  Optionee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting a local human resources representative.  Optionee authorizes KO and any other possible recipients that may assist KO (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing optionee’s participation in the Plan.
(d)
Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan.  Optionee understands that if he or she resides in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, to the extent required by applicable laws, optionee may, at any time, request access to Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents given by accepting the option, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing a local human resources representative.  Further, optionee understands that he or she is providing these consents on a purely voluntary basis.  If optionee does not consent or if he or she later seeks to revoke consent, his or her engagement as a service provider with KO or an Affiliate will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that KO will not be able to grant him or her awards under the Plan or administer or maintain awards.  Therefore, optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan (including the right to retain the Option).  Optionee understands that he or she may contact a local human resources representative for more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent.
The following provisions shall apply to the optionee only if he or she resides in the UK, EU or EEA:

(e)
Data Collected and Purposes of Collection.  Optionee understands that KO, acting as controller, as well as the employer, may collect, to the extent permissible under applicable law, certain personal information about him or her, including name, home address and telephone number, information necessary to process the option (e.g., mailing address for a check payment or bank account wire transfer information), date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, employment location, any capital shares or directorships held in KO (but only where needed for legal or tax compliance), any other information necessary to process mandatory tax withholding and reporting, details of all options granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in his or her favor, and where applicable service termination date and reason for termination  (all such personal information is referred to as “Data”).  The Data is collected from the optionee, the employer, and from KO, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The legal basis (that is, the legal justification) for processing the Data is to perform this Agreement.  The Data must be provided in order for optionee to participate in the Plan and for the parties to this Agreement to perform their respective obligations thereunder.  If optionee does not provide Data, he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan and become a party to this Agreement.
(f)
Transfers and Retention of Data.  Optionee understands that the employer will transfer Data to KO for purposes of plan administration. KO and the employer may also transfer optionee’s Data to other service providers (such as accounting firms, payroll processing firms or tax firms), as may be selected by KO in the future, to assist KO with the implementation, administration and management of this Agreement.  Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission.  Where an optionee is located in a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, the transfer of the Data to that optionee will be made pursuant to an adequate transfer mechanism, such as the European Commission-approved Standard




Contractual Clauses, a copy of which may be obtained at samori@coca-cola.com.   Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her rights and obligations under this Agreement, and for the duration of the relevant statutes of limitations, which may be longer than the term of this Agreement.
(g)
Rights in Respect of Data. KO will take steps in accordance with applicable legislation to keep Data accurate, complete and up-to-date.  Optionee is entitled to have any inadequate, incomplete or incorrect Data corrected (that is, rectified).  Optionee also has the right to request access to his or her Data as well as additional information about the processing of that Data.  Further, optionee is entitled to object to the processing of Data or have his or her Data erased, under certain circumstances.  As from May 25, 2018, and subject to conditions set forth in applicable law, optionee also is entitled to (i) restrict the processing of his or her Data so that it is stored but not actively processed (e.g., while KO assesses whether he or she is entitled to have Data erased) and (ii) receive a copy of the Data provided pursuant to this Agreement or generated by optionee, in a common machine-readable format.  To exercise his or her rights, optionee may contact a local human resources representative.  Optionee may also contact the relevant data protection supervisory authority, as he or she has the right to lodge a complaint.  The data protection officer may be contacted at samori@coca-cola.com.
11.
Nature of Grant. In accepting the Options, the optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)
the Plan is discretionary in nature, and KO can amend, modify, suspend, cancel or terminate it at any time, to the extent permitted under the Plan;
(b)
the grant of Options under the Plan is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of any Options, or benefits in lieu of any Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(c)
all determinations with respect to any future awards, including, but not limited to, the times when Options shall be granted, the option price, and the time or times when each right shall be exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
(d)
participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e)
the Option and any shares of KO Stock acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)
the future value of the shares of KO Stock underlying the Option is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(g)
if the underlying shares of KO Stock do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
(h)
if the optionee exercises the Option and acquires shares of Stock, the value of such shares of KO Stock may increase or decrease in value, even below the option price;
(i)
the Options and any shares of KO Stock acquired under the Plan and any income derived therefrom are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, life or accident insurance benefits, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
(j)
for purposes of the Option, the optionee's employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or an Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the optionee is employed or the terms of the optionee's employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, (i) the optionee's right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the optionee's period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the optionee is employed or the terms of the optionee's employment agreement, if any); and (ii) the period (if any) during which the optionee may exercise the Option after such termination of the optionee's employment or service relationship will commence on the date the optionee ceases to actively provide services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the optionee is employed or terms of the optionee's employment agreement, if any; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the optionee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the optionee's Option grant (including whether the optionee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);
(k)
no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the optionee's employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the optionee is employed or the terms of the optionee's employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the optionee is otherwise not entitled, the optionee irrevocably agrees




never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;
(l)
the Option grant and the optionee's participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate the optionee's employment or service relationship (if any); and
(m)
if the optionee is providing services outside the United States, the optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the optionee's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to me pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any shares of KO Stock acquired upon exercise.
12.
No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the optionee's participation in the Plan, or optionee's acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of KO Stock. The optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the optionee's participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
13.
Entire Agreement Severability. The Plan and this Agreement set forth the entire understanding between the optionee, the Employer, the Company, and any Affiliate regarding the acquisition of the shares of KO Stock and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to this Option. If all or any part or application of the provisions of this Agreement are held or determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between optionee and KO, each and all of the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
14.
Governing Law and Venue. The Option grant and this Agreement has been made in and shall be governed by, construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to the conflict of law provisions, as provided in the Plan. Any and all disputes relating to, concerning or arising from this Agreement, or relating to, concerning or arising from the relationship between the parties evidenced by the Options or this Agreement, shall be brought and heard exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County. Each of the parties hereby represents and agrees that such party is subject to the personal jurisdiction of said courts; hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts in any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which such party may now or hereafter have that the laying of the venue of any legal or equitable proceedings related to, concerning or arising from such dispute which is brought in such courts is improper or that such proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
15.
Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company and that such online or electronic participation shall have the same force and effect as documentation executed in written form.

19.
Waiver. The optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the optionee or any other optionee.




20.
Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. The optionee acknowledges that, depending on the optionee’s country of residence, the optionee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the optionee’s ability to acquire or sell shares of KO Stock or rights to shares of KO Stock (e.g., Options) under the Plan during such times as the optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the optionee’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under KO’s insider trading policy. The optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the optionee is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

APPENDIX TO

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
2014 EQUITY PLAN
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Options granted to the optionee under the Plan if the optionee works in one of the countries listed below. If the optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the optionee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the grant date, KO will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to the optionee.
Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the same meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement, as applicable.
Notifications
This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other tax or legal issues of which the optionee should be aware with respect to the optionee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of December 2018. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, KO strongly recommends that the optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the optionee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Options vest, the optionee exercises the Options or the optionee sells shares of KO Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the optionee’s particular situation and KO is not in a position to assure the optionee of a particular result. Accordingly, the optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the optionee’s country may apply to his or her situation. Furthermore, additional privacy laws may apply in the optionee’s country.
Finally, if the optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or if the optionee transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the grant date, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the optionee in the same manner.
ARGENTINA
Notifications

Securities Law Information

The optionee understands that neither the Options nor the shares of KO Stock underlying the Options are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina. Therefore, the offer of the Options does not constitute a public offering as defined under Argentine law. The offer is private and not subject to the supervision of any Argentine governmental authority.

Limited Method of Exercise

In accordance with Section 3 of the Agreement, the method of payment of the option price of the Options shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at its discretion, be limited to a cashless exercise authorized by KO, or by delivery, through attestation, of shares of KO Stock owned by the optionee. Payment of option price shall not be permitted in cash. Consequently, no funds will flow out of Argentina in connection with the Options.

Exchange Control Information

If the optionee transfers proceeds from the sale of shares of KO Stock and any cash dividends into Argentina, the optionee may be subject to certain restrictions. If the transfer of funds received in connection with the Option into Argentina is made within 10 days of receipt, 30% of the amount transferred into Argentina may be subject to mandatory deposit in a non-interest bearing account for a holding period of 365 days. The Argentine bank handling the transaction may request certain documentation in connection with the request to transfer sale proceeds into Argentina (e.g., evidence of the sale, proof of the source of the funds used to purchase the shares, etc.). If the bank determines that the 10-day rule or any other rule or regulation promulgated by the Argentine Central Bank has not been satisfied, it will require that 30% of the proceeds be placed in a non-interest bearing deposit account for a holding period of 365 days.

The optionee is solely responsible for complying with the exchange control rules that may apply to the optionee in connection with his or her participation in the Plan and/or transfer of proceeds from the sale of shares of KO Stock or receipt of dividends acquired under the Plan into Argentina. Prior to transferring funds into Argentina, the optionee should consult his or her local bank and/or exchange control advisor to confirm what will be required by the bank because interpretations of the applicable Central Bank regulations vary by bank and exchange control rules and regulations are subject to change without notice.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information

Argentinian residents must report any shares of KO Stock acquired under the Plan and held by the resident on December 31 of each year on their annual tax return for that year.

Offer of Stock Awards
The Board of Directors of KO, in its absolute discretion, may make a written offer to an eligible person who is an Australian resident it chooses to accept a stock award to acquire shares.
The offer shall specify the maximum number of shares subject to a stock award which the optionee may accept, the date of grant, the exercise price (if any), the expiration date, the vesting conditions (if any), any applicable holding period and any disposal restrictions attaching to the Options or the resultant shares of KO Stock (all of which may be set by the Board of Directors of KO in its absolute discretion).

Additionally, Belgian residents are required to report any security or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) maintained outside of Belgium on their annual tax return.

Tax Information
This section is intended to advise optionees of potential tax impacts of certain actions or inactions under Belgian law. This section is applicable to any optionee who is subject to income tax in Belgium, including residents. Optionees are urged to consult their personal tax advisers when considering all matters regarding the Option grant set forth in the Agreement.
Options accepted within 60 days following the offer date
At grant: Stock Options that are accepted in writing within 60 days following the offer date are taxable on the date of grant. (Grant date is deemed to be the 60th day following the date of offer.) The taxable benefit is calculated as a percentage of the closing market price on the last trading day preceding the date of offer, plus any excess of the closing market price over the option price. Optionee acknowledges that these taxes are required to be paid even if the Options are later forfeited for any reason, including without limitation termination of employment, and/or the optionee is not actually able to realize value from the Options. The tax paid may not be refunded by the Belgian revenue agency.
At exercise: No Belgian tax consequences, unless the optionee breaks his or her commitment to hold and not exercise the Options before the end of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the offer was made.
At sale: In principle, no Belgian tax consequences. KO will report details of Option benefits—both at the time of grant and possibly at the time of exercise if the Options are exercised before the expiration of the committed holding period. Tax is due and payable with the optionee’s individual income tax return for the year of grant and possibly in the year of exercise.
Options accepted after the 60th day following the offer date
At grant: In principle, under current guidance from the Belgian tax authorities, no Belgian tax consequences.
At exercise: According to current guidance from the Belgian Minister of Finance, Options that are accepted in writing after the 60th day following the offer date are not subject to taxation at grant, but to taxation at exercise. The taxable benefit is the difference between the actual value of the shares of KO Stock at exercise less the Option price paid.
At sale: In principle, no Belgian tax consequences. KO and its Affiliates make no guarantee of any tax consequences to the optionee, as laws and guidance may change. In the case of any such changes, the optionee will accept the possibility of corresponding changes in KO’s obligation in respect of reporting and withholding.
Declining Options
If the optionee declines the Options, no tax will be owed at any time, but the Options will be declared null and void.
Special note for global mobility associates
Individuals resident in Belgium who are on international assignment under a KO or Affiliate program (e.g., ISAs or ESAs) are requested to accept the Options after 60 days of the date of offer. Should an international assignee accept the Options prior to 60 days from the date of offer, any taxes due on the grant of the Options shall be the international assignee’s personal responsibility and shall not be covered by the tax equalization policy.

Any and all Options granted to the optionee (including any and all outstanding Options previously granted, any shares of KO Stock issued to the optionee in respect thereof, as well as current and

(i)Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan and the Agreement to the contrary, the optionee will be restricted to the cashless sell-all method of exercise with respect to his or her Options. To complete a cashless sell-all exercise, the optionee understands that he or she should instruct the broker to: (i) sell all of the shares of KO Stock issued upon exercise; (ii) use the proceeds to pay the option price, any applicable Tax‑Related Items and brokerage fees or commissions; and (iii) remit the balance in cash to the optionee.

(iv)KO will deliver the proceeds of the cashless sell-all exercise of Options sale of shares of KO Stock (less any Tax Related Items and any brokerage fees or commissions) to the optionee as soon as possible, but there may be delays in distributing the funds to the optionee due to exchange control requirements in China.

Please be aware that as set forth in Section 1 of the Act, the Act only applies to “employees” as that term is defined in Section 2 of the Act.  If the Optionee is a member of the registered management of a Subsidiary or affiliate in Denmark or otherwise does not satisfy the definition of employee, the Optionee will not be subject to the Act and the Employer Statement will not apply to him or her.

Securities/Tax Reporting Information.  The Optionee may hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g., a brokerage account) with either a Danish bank or with an approved foreign broker or bank.  If the shares of Stock are held with a foreign broker or bank, the Optionee is required to inform the Danish Tax Administration about the safety-deposit account.  For this purpose, the Optionee must file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration.  The Optionee must sign the Form V and the broker or bank may sign the Form V.  By signing the Form V, the broker or bank undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the shares of Stock in the safety-deposit account.  In the event that the applicable broker or bank with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Optionee will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account and any shares of Stock acquired in connection with the Plan and held in such account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Optionee’s annual

In addition, if the Optionee opens a brokerage account (or a deposit account with a U.S. bank), the brokerage account (or bank account, as applicable) will be treated as a deposit account because cash can be held in the account.  Therefore, the Optionee must also file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration.  Both the Optionee and the broker must sign the Form K unless an exemption from the broker/bank signature requirement is granted by the Danish Tax Administration. It is possible to seek the exemption on the Form K, which the Optionee should do at the time the Optionee submits the Form K.  By signing the Form K, the broker or bank, as applicable, undertakes an obligation, without further request each year, to forward information to the Danish Tax Administration concerning the content of the deposit account.  In the event that the applicable financial institution (broker or bank) with which the account is held does not wish to, or, pursuant to the laws of the country in question, is not allowed to assume such obligation to report, the Optionee will be solely responsible for providing certain details regarding the foreign brokerage or bank account to the Danish Tax Administration as part of the Optionee’s annual income tax return.   By signing the Form K, the Optionee authorizes the Danish Tax Administration to examine the account.  A sample of Form K can be found at the following website: www.skat.dk/getFile.aspx?Id=42409&newwindow=true.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.  If the Optionee establishes an account holding shares of Stock or cash outside of Denmark, the Optionee must report the account to the Danish Tax Administration.  The form which should be used to make the report can be obtained from a local bank.  (Please note that these obligations are separate from and in addition to the obligations described above.)

Terms and Conditions

Responsibility for Taxes

The following provisions supplement Section 3 of the Agreement:





If payment or withholding of income taxes is not made within ninety (90) days of the end of the tax year in which the income tax liability arises, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by the optionee to the Employer, effective on the Due Date. The optionee understands and agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable by the optionee, and KO and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 3 of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the optionee is a director or an executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the optionee will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the uncollected income tax. In the event that the optionee is a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the optionee by the Due Date, the optionee understands that the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the optionee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The optionee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing KO or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which KO and/or the Employer may recover from the optionee by any of the means referred to in Section 3 of the Agreement.
