This Amendment No. 2 amends the prospectus supplement/ offer to purchase and consent solicitation, dated May 22, 2017, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 on June 6, 2017 (as amended, the "Original Offer to Purchase"). This Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference into the Original Offer to Purchase and should be

EXTENSION OF CONSENT SOLICITATION AND OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR EXTENDED CCR NOTES ONLY
On May 22, 2017, we offered (the "Offer") to purchase for cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Original Offer to Purchase
any and all of each series of notes of Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. listed in the Original Offer to Purchase (the "CCR Notes"), including the Zero Coupon Notes due June 20, 2020 and
8.500% Debentures due February 1, 2022 (collectively, the "Extended CCR Notes"), from Holders of the CCR Notes. In conjunction with the Offer, we also solicited (the "Consent Solicitation")
consents (the "Consents") to the Proposed Amendments, which would modify or remove certain of the covenants and events of default applicable to the Existing Indenture governing the CCR Notes,
including the Extended CCR Notes, to substantively conform to the operative covenants and events of default in the indenture governing The Coca-Cola Company's existing unsecured and unsubordinated
debt. Subject to the conditions described in the Original Offer to Purchase, as amended by this Amendment No. 2, we intend to provide full and unconditional guarantees of the CCR Notes. Under
the terms described in the Original Offer to Purchase, the Offer for each of the Extended CCR Notes would have expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 20, 2017.
As
described in the Original Offer to Purchase, we reserved the right, subject to applicable law, to extend the Offer and/or the Consent Solicitation at any time, with respect to any or
all series of CCR Notes, for any reason. We further reserved the right to extend the Offer and/or the Consent Solicitation for one or more series of CCR Notes, while not extending for the remaining
series of CCR Notes. In Amendment No. 1, we waived the Cross-Consent Condition (as defined in the Original Offer to Purchase) with respect to the Extended CCR Notes.
We are hereby extending the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation for holders of the Extended CCR Notes until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
June 30, 2017 (the "Extended Offer and Consent Expiration Date"). The right of holders of Extended CCR Notes to revoke tenders or deliveries of related Consents is hereby extended to the
Extended Offer and Consent Expiration Date. We are hereby also extending the Release Date and Payment Date for the Extended CCR Notes to 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on July 5,
2017.
Holders
of Extended CCR Notes may:
-
-
deliver Consents without tendering their Extended CCR Notes, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation on or before the Extended Offer and Consent
Expiration Date; or
-
-
tender their Extended CCR Notes and thereby deliver the related Consents pursuant to the Offer on or before the Extended Offer and Consent
Expiration Date.
Holders
of Extended CCR Notes must validly tender their Extended CCR Notes, and thereby deliver their respective Consents, on or before the Extended Offer and Consent Expiration Date in
order to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration. Holders not tendering their Extended CCR Notes pursuant to the Offer who wish to deliver Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation must
validly deliver their Consents on or before the Extended Offer and Consent Expiration Date in order to be eligible to receive the Consent Payment.
All
references in the Original Offer to Purchase to the Early Tender and Consent Expiration Date, Extended Consent Expiration Date, Release Date and Payment Date in connection with the
Extended CCR Notes are hereby amended as described herein. All other descriptions, terms and conditions set forth in the Original Offer to Purchase remain unchanged.
The
date of this Amendment No. 2 is June 21, 2017.
