Coca-Cola Hellenic is strategically positioned to profit from European Union enlargement.
Eight Coca-Cola Hellenic countries--the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Slovenia -- joined the EU on May 1, 2004. Two other Coca-Cola Hellenic countries -- Romania and Bulgaria -- joined in January 2007.
EU enlargement, with its reduction of trade barriers, the normalisation of food legislation, environmental policy and marketing legislation,
and the anticipated increase in income of the residents in these new EU countries, will enhance the company's already substantial scale benefits in procurement savings, knowledge sharing, investment planning and best practices from its operations in 28 countries.
We have access to the world’s major capital markets and an extensive international investor base. Coca-Cola Hellenic shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX: EEEK), with secondary listings on the London (LSE: CCB) and Australian (ASX: CHB) Stock Exchanges. Coca-Cola Hellenic’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CCH). Our proposed dividend for 2006 is €0.32 per share.
