EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. (
CCE
) merged with and into Coca-Cola European Partners US, LLC (the
Registrant
) on May 28, 2016, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving company. CCE previously amended its registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-167067), initially filed on May 25, 2010, and
declared effective on August 25, 2010 (the
Form S-4
), by filing a post-effective amendment on Form S-8 on October 4, 2010 (the
Registration Statement
) relating to 22,000,000 shares of CCEs common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (
Common Stock
), issuable upon the exercise of options and awards granted pursuant to the terms of the equity compensation plans that were the predecessors to the Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. Legacy
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
Plan
). All such shares of Common Stock that were previously registered on the Form S-4 were subject to issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement to participants under the Plan. On August 6,
2015, CCE, Coca-Cola European Partners plc, formerly known as Spark Orange Limited and Coca-Cola European Partners Limited, Coca-Cola European Partners Holdings US, Inc., formerly known as Orange U.S. HoldCo, LLC, and the Registrant, formerly known
as Orange MergeCo, LLC, entered into a Merger Agreement (the
Merger Agreement
). The Merger Agreement provided that CCE would merge with and into the Registrant (the
Merger
), with the Registrant continuing as the
surviving company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola European Partners plc. The Merger was part of the combination of CCE and the companies that own the Coca-Cola bottling operations in Germany, the Iberian region (i.e., Spain,
Portugal and Andorra) and Iceland under Coca-Cola European Partners plc. In connection with the Merger, CCE is no longer and the Registrant is not issuing securities under the Plan. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is being filed in order to
deregister all shares of Common Stock that were registered under the Registration Statement and remain unissued under the Plan.
