Distribution APA and the Manufacturing APA, including any exhibits to these agreements, have been included to provide investors with information regarding their terms. There are representations and warranties contained in these agreements which were
made by the respective parties to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in these representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of each such agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations
agreed to by the respective parties in connection with negotiating their terms (including qualification by disclosures that are not necessarily reflected in these agreements). Moreover, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or
complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from certain standards generally applicable to stockholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the respective
parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Based upon the foregoing reasons, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information. In addition, information concerning the subject matter of the
representations and warranties may change after the date of each such agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected in the Company&#146;s public disclosures. Investors should read the Distribution APA and the Manufacturing APA,
as well as all exhibits to these agreements, together with the other information concerning the Company, The Coca-Cola Company and CCR that each company or its affiliates publicly files in reports and statements with the SEC. </P>
