Zug, Switzerland - 22 June 2021 - Coca-Cola HBC AG ("Coca-ColaHBC") today announces that all of the proposals of the Board of Directors (the "Board") set out in the notice of the annual general meeting ("AGM") dated 21 May 2021 were duly passed by the requisite majority of shareholders at its AGM held today, 22 June 2021. The final results are set out below. A copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM has also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanismand on Coca-Cola HBC's website at www.coca-colahellenic.com.

Following the retirement of Mr. José Octavio Reyes and Mr. Alfredo Rivera from the Board as of the end of the AGM, Coca-Cola HBC's shareholders elected Mr. Bruno Pietracci and Mr. Henrique Braun as new non-executive members of the Board. Their biographies can be found at www.coca- colahellenic.com.

The AGM approved a dividend of EUR 0.64 per share ("Dividend") out of the general capital contribution reserve, capped at an amount of CHF 300,000,000. Payment of the full amount of the Dividend will be made on 3 August 2021 to holders of ordinary shares on the record date of 9 July 2021. The shares are expected to be traded ex-dividend as of 8 July 2021, in which case the last day on which the shares may be traded with the entitlement to receive dividends will be 7 July 2021. In addition, the AGM approved a share buy back of up to up to 10,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of CHF 6.70.

Resolutions 7 and 9, the advisory votes to approve the UK Remuneration Report and the Swiss Remuneration Report, were passed with support of approximately 72% of the votes cast. Consequently, the Board will intitate a consultation with shareholders on its approach to remuneration which will take place between now and the next AGM in 2022, ensuring as many shareholders as possible are able to provide their feedback on remuneration matters and on an approach to remuneration that aligns as closely as possible with the balance of shareholder views. All other resolutions were passed with high levels of support ranging between approximately 90% and 99% and shareholders were supportive of the Remuneration Policy, which was passed with the support of approximately 95% of the votes cast.
