very important to Coca-Cola HBC and all shareholders are encouraged
to participate in the AGM by appointing the independent proxy,
according to the details set out in the notice of AGM.

registered share a dividend of EUR 0.71 which was initially
announced on 22 February 2022. The total aggregate amount of the
dividend will be capped at an amount of CHF 300,000,000. Payment of
