Results of Annual General Meeting of Coca-Cola HBC AG
Zug, Switzerland - 17 May 2023 - Coca-Cola HBC AG ("Coca-Cola
HBC") 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 13 April 2023 were duly passed by the
requisite majority of shareholders at its AGM held today, 17 May
2023. 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/nationalstoragemechanism and on
Coca-Cola HBC's website at www.coca-colahellenic.com .
As previously announced on 13 April 2023 Mr Ryan Rudolph and Mr
Bruno Pietracci would not be seeking re-election to the Board and
retired from the Board as of the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM,
Coca-Cola HBC's shareholders elected Mr George Pavlos Leventis and
Ms Evguenia (Jeny) Stoitchkova 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 0.78 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 19 June 2023 to holders of ordinary shares
on the record date of 26 May 2023. The shares are expected to be
traded ex-dividend as of 25 May 2023, in which case the last day on
which the shares may be traded with the entitlement to receive
dividends will be 24 May 2023.
Resolutions 7 and 9, the advisory votes to approve the UK
Remuneration Report and the Swiss Remuneration Report, were passed
with approximately 68% of the votes cast. Resolution 4.1.3 in
relation to the re-election of Charlotte J. Boyle, Chair of the
Remuneration Committee, was also passed with approximately 75% of
the votes cast. Consequently the Board will initiate a consultation
with shareholders on its approach to remuneration which will take
place between now and the next AGM in 2024, 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 91 and 100% and shareholders were supportive
of Resolution 8 on the Remuneration Policy, which was passed with
the support of approximately 94% of the votes cast.
