Coca-Cola Hellenic announces proposal for a 
 
           capital return of EUR0.34 per share and other transactions 
 
Athens, Greece - 9 May 2012 - Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. 
(Coca-Cola Hellenic, the Company) announces a proposed capital return to its 
shareholders of EUR0.34 per share. The proposal comprises a decrease in the par 
value of the Company's shares by approximately EUR125 million or EUR0.34 per share 
which will be paid to shareholders. The proposed transaction will be financed 
from the cash position of the Company and is subject to shareholder and 
regulatory approvals. 
 
As a separate item, Coca-Cola Hellenic also announces a proposal for a further 
decrease in the par value of the Company's shares by approximately EUR55 million 
or EUR0.15 per share, in order to extinguish accumulated losses in an equal 
amount. 
 
Coca-Cola Hellenic's Board of Directors endorsed the plan for both transactions 
in its meeting on 8 May 2012. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed 
recapitalisation is appropriate, as it reflects the Company's strong and 
sustained cash flow generation. At the same time it will enable Coca-Cola 
Hellenic to maintain an efficient balance sheet. 
 
As previously announced Coca-Cola Hellenic's Annual General Meeting will be 
held on 25 June 2012 where both proposals will be presented to the Company's 
shareholders. If approved, the capital return is expected to be paid out on 8 
August 2012 with a record date (the date at which registered shareholders will 
qualify for the return of capital) on 3 August 2012.
