Notice Regarding Shareholder Benefit Program

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan, Inc. was formed by the integration of the businesses of the then Coca-Cola West Co., Ltd. (now Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan, Inc.) and Coca-Cola East Japan Co., Ltd. effective April 1, 2017, by way of an exchange of shares combined and an absorption-type company split.

The newly-formed Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan today passed the following resolution on the shareholder benefit program adopted by the new company.

1.	Reasons for Adoption of Shareholder Benefit Program

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan decided to adopt a shareholder benefit program in order to encourage more shareholders to retain their Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan shares in the mid to long term, and as a way of showing its appreciation to its shareholders and improving shareholders’ perception of Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan.

The shareholder benefit program adopted by Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan represents a continuation of the shareholder benefit program formerly adopted and implemented by Coca-Cola West, including the long-term holder benefit program.

3.	Shareholders Eligible for the Long-Term Holder Benefit Program

The long-term holder benefit program covers persons who hold 1 unit (100 shares) or more in Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan, Inc. for an uninterrupted period of at least three years.

Any shareholder who as of December 31 of the year in question is listed or recorded on the register of shareholders of Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan as having held 1 unit (100 shares) or more shares for an interrupted period of at least 3 years under the same shareholder number (i.e. who is listed or recorded on the register of shareholders under the same shareholder number as of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 in the years in question, on 13 consecutive occasions).
However, if a different shareholder number/information is unintentionally written in the shareholders list due to marriage or a change of address, those shareholders will be eligible to receive long-term holder benefits if they submit an application themselves.

Because Coca-Cola East Japan, Co. Ltd. only performed checks of shareholders listed or recorded on its register of shareholders twice a year (as of June 30 and December 31), shareholding status cannot be verified as of March 30 and September 30 in a given year. By way of an extraordinary measure, however, a shareholder’s eligibility under the long-term holder benefit program for the period up until March 31, 2017 will be determined by verifying the listing or record of that shareholder on the register or shareholders as having held 1 unit (100 shares) or more shares as of the aforementioned two dates, with the provision that from April 2017, a shareholder must be listed or recorded on the register of shareholders every quarter in order for that shareholder to be eligible under the long-term holder program.
