The Coca-Cola Company Updates Second Quarter Expected Net Impact of Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Structural Items Ahead of Deutsche Bank Conference Presentation

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As previously announced, James Quincey, President and Chief Operating
Officer of The Coca-Cola Company, will present at the Deutsche Bank
Global Consumer Conference today at approximately 2 p.m. CET (8 a.m.
EDT).

In connection with the presentation, the Company is updating its
expectations regarding the net impact of acquisitions, divestitures and
other structural items on its second quarter results. These changes are
driven by the completion of the Coca-Cola European Partners plc
combination on May 28, 2016, approximately one month prior to previous
expectations. The Company now expects these items to be a 5 to 6 point
headwind on net revenues and a 4 to 5 point headwind on income before
taxes in the second quarter.

The Company invites investors to listen to the live audiocast of the
presentation at its website, www.coca-colacompany.com/investors.
A replay in downloadable MP3 format will also be available within 24
hours after the audiocast on the Company’s website.
