Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc Annual General Meeting Shareholder Communication

This filing is a communication from Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP) to its shareholders regarding the upcoming Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2026. The company is seeking shareholder support for all resolutions, as recommended by the Board of Directors. Specifically, it provides additional context on Resolution 25 (Waiver of mandatory offer provisions under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code), Resolution 7 (re-election of Manolo Arroyo), and Resolution 9 (re-election of José Ignacio Comenge). CCEP addresses differing recommendations from proxy advisory services like Glass Lewis, ISS, and IVIS. Regarding Resolution 25, CCEP explains that the waiver is necessary to facilitate its share buyback program and that key shareholder Olive has no intention of changing its approach despite potential increases in its shareholding. The company believes ISS's concerns about "creeping control" are unfounded, a view supported by Glass Lewis. For Resolutions 7 and 9, CCEP defends the re-election of Mr. Arroyo and Mr. Comenge to the Remuneration Committee, stating that the committee composition will still comply with independence requirements and that these individuals, as shareholder representatives, do not have conflicts of interest and will act in the best interests of all shareholders. CCEP reiterates its belief that these resolutions are in the best interests of shareholders and recommends voting in favor.
