Notes:
| 1 | Votes “For” and “Against” are expressed as a percentage of votes received. | ||||
| 2 | As at 11:30am on Tuesday 26 May 2026, the time by which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company’s register of members, there were 443,217,637 ordinary shares in issue. | ||||
| 3 | A “Vote Withheld” is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes “For” or “Against” a resolution. | ||||
| 4 | Under the UK Listing Rules (the “UKLR”), Olive Partners, S.A. (“Olive”) is treated as a “controlling shareholder” of the Company (that is, it exercises or controls more than 30% of the voting rights of the Company). In accordance with UKLR 6.2.5R, the election and re-election of CCEP’s independent non-executive directors must be conducted in accordance with UKLR 6.2.8R and 6.2.9R. Accordingly, the votes by CCEP’s shareholders excluding Olive and its presumed concert parties (the “Independent Shareholders”) in respect of resolutions 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 20 have been counted and set out separately to determine whether these resolutions have been approved by a majority of the Independent Shareholders. | ||||
| 5 | Resolution 25 was put to the AGM as a resolution of the Independent Shareholders | ||||
Resolution 25, being the ordinary resolution to approve the waiver by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Rule 9 Waiver”) in connection with the Company’s buyback programme, was duly passed by 75.39% of the votes cast by the Independent Shareholders with 24.61% of votes cast against. Resolution 25 is a standing agenda item at each Annual General Meeting to enable CCEP to exercise the authorities under resolution 29 to purchase its own shares on market and resolution 30 to purchase its own shares off market, which were both passed with majorities of 99.21%. This will enable CCEP to make use of the option to return value to shareholders through a possible future buyback programme. Had resolution 25 not been passed, the Company would not have been able to effect such buyback programmes, as explained in the Notice of AGM and also in the Letter to Shareholders issued via RNS on 18 May 2026.
CCEP intends to continue to engage with ISS on their standing policy to generally recommend a vote against Rule 9 waivers, which we believe may be a contributing factor in influencing investor decisions in this regard. In addition, CCEP will continue to engage, in the normal course and as appropriate, with shareholders who did not support resolution 25 to understand the reasons for their vote against the proposal and to continue a transparent and constructive dialogue on this topic. In accordance with provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will publish an update on this

engagement, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the 2026 AGM and a final summary in the Company's Annual Report for the 2026 Financial Year.
Olive is currently interested in 166,128,987 shares in the Company and the Rule 9 Waiver does not entitle Olive to be interested in a greater number of shares. The Rule 9 Waiver would allow Olive’s interest in shares as a percentage of the Company’s total shares to increase as a result of the exercise of the Company’s authorities to purchase its own shares, but only to the extent that the resulting interest of Olive, together with any concert parties, in the shares of the Company did not then exceed 41.4289%.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 6.4.2R, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
