Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Schedule 13D. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND Item 2 is hereby amended and restated as follows: This statement is being filed by The Coca-Cola Company, and three of The Coca-Cola Company's direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, namely The Coca-Cola Trading Company ("Trading Company"), Coca-Cola Oasis, Inc. ("Oasis") and Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Investments, Inc. ("Carolina," and together with The Coca-Cola Company, Trading Company and Oasis, the "Reporting Persons"). Each of the Reporting Persons is a Delaware corporation, having its principal executive offices at One Coca-Cola Plaza, Atlanta, Georgia 30313, telephone (404)676-2121. Carolina is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Oasis, Oasis is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Trading Company, and Trading Company is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company is the largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drink concentrates and syrups in the world, as well as the world's largest distributor and marketer of juice and juice-drink products. Certain information with respect to the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Exhibit A(99.1) attached hereto, including each director's and executive officer's business address, present principal occupation or employment, citizenship and other information. None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any director, executive officer or controlling person of any Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which proceeding any Reporting Person or any director, executive officer or controlling person of any Reporting Person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, or finding any violation with respect to federal or state securities laws. Page 6 of 21 ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the information previously filed under this Item the following: Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (formerly known as CCBCC Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership and Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership, and called the "Partnership" in this Amendment), was formed pursuant to a Partnership Agreement dated July 2, 1993 ("Partnership Agreement") between Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Investments, Inc., a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company (the "KO Subsidiary"), and subsidiaries of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated ("Coke Consolidated"). Section 19.1 of the Partnership Agreement provides that the Coke Consolidated subsidiaries will use their best efforts to purchase the interest of the KO Subsidiary between the sixth and eighth anniversaries of the date of the Partnership Agreement. In discussions pursuant to Section 19.1 of the Partnership Agreement, representatives of The Coca-Cola Company and Coke Consolidated have identified the following transaction structure as one that may meet all parties' objectives: 1. The Partnership would redeem all of KO Subsidiary's ownership interest in the Partnership in exchange for the transfer to KO Subsidiary of all of the outstanding stock of a subsidiary of the Partnership (the "Acquired Subsidiary"), which Acquired Subsidiary would own shares of a class of non-voting preferred stock of Coke Consolidated with a value of $118 million and having a dividend yield of 4.3%. 2. As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that the Partnership would borrow $118 million from commercial lenders. The Coca-Cola Company representatives have now received management approval to begin negotiation of definitive transaction documents, and the parties desire to close the transaction under consideration prior to December 31, 1999. However, until definitive documentation is executed, the parties have no binding legal obligation to close the proposed transaction. There can be no assurance that an agreement with respect to such a transaction will be reached, or, if an agreement is reached, that its terms will be on terms consistent with those described above or that any transaction will be consummated. KO invests in bottling operations such as Coke Consolidated in order to maximize the strength and efficiency of KO's production, distribution and marketing systems around the world. In line with this bottling strategy, KO regularly reviews its options relating to its investments in bottling operations throughout the world, including its investment in Coke Consolidated. As part of this review, KO from time to time may consider, evaluate and propose various possible transactions involving Coke Consolidated or its subsidiaries, which could include, without limitation: Page 7 of 21 (i) the possible acquisition of additional securities of Coke Consolidated, or the disposition of securities of Coke Consolidated; (ii) possible extraordinary corporate transactions (such as a merger, consolidation or reorganization) involving Coke Consolidated or any of its subsidiaries, including with other bottling companies in which one or more of the Reporting Persons may have a direct or indirect equity interest; or (iii) the possible acquisition by Coke Consolidated or its subsidiaries of assets or interests in one or more bottling companies, including other bottling companies in which one or more of the Reporting Persons may have a direct or indirect equity interest, or the possible sale of assets or bottling operations by Coke Consolidated or its subsidiaries.
