This Amendment No. 8 supplements Item 12 (but no other item) of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the Schedule TO) originally filed on March 19, 2013, and amended on March 25, 2013, March 27, 2013, April 16, 2013, April 22, 2013, April 26, 2013, April 29, 2013, and April 30, 2013 by Coca-Cola HBC AG, a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft/société anonyme (Coca-Cola HBC), and Kar-Tess Holding, a société à responsabilité limitée organized under the laws of Luxembourg and formerly the sole shareholder of Coca-Cola HBC. The Schedule TO, as amended from time to time, relates to the offer by Coca-Cola HBC to acquire all of the ordinary shares (Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares) of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A., a Greek corporation, including Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares represented by Coca-Cola Hellenic American depositary shares (Coca-Cola Hellenic ADSs), that Coca-Cola HBC does not hold directly or indirectly (the Exchange Offer). The Exchange Offer is comprised of the U.S. offer and the Greek offer. The U.S. offer comprises an offer made pursuant to the offer to exchange/prospectus, dated March 19, 2013 (the Offer to Exchange/Prospectus), to (i) all holders of Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares located in the United States and (ii) all holders of Coca-Cola Hellenic ADSs, wherever located. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Schedule TO shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Exchange/Prospectus.
The Offer to Exchange/Prospectus forms part of Coca-Cola HBCs Registration Statement on Form F-4 (Reg. No. 333-184685) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2012, as amended on December 4, 2012, December 17, 2012, December 19, 2012, February 26, 2013, March 6, 2013 and April 22, 2013 (the Registration Statement). The Registration Statement became effective on March 11, 2013.
As previously disclosed, Coca-Cola HBC successfully acquired 355,009,014 Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares, representing 96.85% of all issued Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares, including those represented by Coca-Cola Hellenic ADSs, in exchange for Coca-Cola HBC Shares and Coca-Cola HBC ADSs issued on a one-for-one basis in the initial offering period of the Exchange Offer; Kar-Tess Holding, the former sole shareholder of Coca-Cola HBC, received 85,355,019 Coca-Cola HBC Shares in exchange for its 85,355,019 Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares in the Exchange Offer on the same terms and conditions as the other holders of Coca-Cola Hellenic Shares; and Kar-Tess Holding transferred 14,925 ordinary shares representing Coca-Cola HBCs initial share capital to Coca-Cola HBC in return for a payment equal to the par value of such shares plus 1.5 million corresponding to the amount of the additional equity contribution Kar-Tess Holding made to Coca-Cola HBC in connection with the Exchange Offer (such payment will be made in accordance with Swiss law after shareholder approval of Coca-Cola HBCs audited unconsolidated interim financial statements following settlement of the Exchange Offer). As a result, Kar-Tess Holding currently holds 85,355,019 Coca-Cola HBC Shares, representing approximately 24.3 percent of Coca-Cola HBCs voting rights (calculated excluding the 3,445,060 Coca-Cola HBC Shares held in treasury, for which voting rights are suspended so long as such shares are held in treasury).
