Consolidated has the right through January 27, 2019, to call for redemption the
number of shares of Consolidated stock that would reduce The Coca-Cola Companys equity
ownership in Consolidated to 20% at a price not less than $42.50 per share, which is
either mutually determined by the parties or determined by an appraisal or appraisals
conducted by an investment banker or bankers appointed by the parties; |
|
|
|
|
The Coca-Cola Company has certain registration rights with respect to shares of
Consolidated stock owned by it; and |
|
|
|
|
As long as The Coca-Cola Company holds the number of shares of stock in Consolidated
that it currently owns, it has the right to have its designee proposed by Consolidated
for nomination to its board of directors, and Mr. Harrison and trustees of certain
trusts established for the benefit of J. Frank Harrison, Jr. have agreed to vote shares
of Consolidated stock which they control in favor of such designee. |
The Amended Rights and Restrictions Agreement also provides The Coca-Cola Company the option
to exchange the 497,670 shares of Common Stock in Consolidated it acquired upon conversion of the
Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock in the event any
person or group acquires control of more of the Consolidateds voting power than is controlled by
the Harrison Family.
On February 19, 2009, in connection with the entering into of the Amended Rights and
Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Company, J. Frank Harrison, III and the other parties thereto
entered into the Termination of Irrevocable Proxy and Voting Agreement, pursuant to which the
parties terminated the Irrevocable Proxy (the Irrevocable Proxy) granted to Mr. Harrison by The
Coca-Cola Company and the Voting Agreement between The Coca-Cola Company, J. Frank Harrison, Jr.,
J. Frank Harrison, III and Reid Henson, as trustee, dated January 27, 1989 (the Voting
Agreement).

Pursuant to the Performance Unit Award Agreement approved by the shareholders at the 2008
Annual Meeting, Consolidated granted Mr. Harrison, III 400,000 performance units that each
represent the right to receive one share of Class B Common Stock. The performance units are
scheduled to vest in annual increments over a ten-year period (fiscals years 2009 through 2018),
subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Performance Unit Award Agreement.
As general partner of each of the Harrison Family Limited Partnerships, Harrison Family LLC
holds voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of Consolidated stock held by
each of the Harrison Family Limited Partnerships. Under the terms of the operating agreement for
Harrison Family LLC, J. Frank Harrison, III, as Consolidated Stock Manager, has sole voting and
investment power over all of the shares of Consolidated stock with respect to which the limited
liability company exercises voting power or investment power (either directly or in its capacity as
general partner of the Harrison Family Limited Partnerships).
The terms of the trusts described in Item 5(a)&(b)(ii) above provide that any shares of
Consolidated stock owned by the trust will be voted by Mr. Harrison, III, that no shares of
Consolidated stock held by the trust may be sold without the written consent of Mr. Harrison, III
and that any shares of Consolidated stock held by the trust will be sold upon the instructions of
Mr. Harrison, III. Pursuant to the terms of such trusts and the terms of the operating agreement
of the Harrison Family LLC, Mr. Harrison, III will vote shares held or controlled by such entities
for the election of either Sue Anne H. Wells or Deborah H. Everhart to serve as a member of
Consolidateds Board of Directors if either of them agrees to serve. Ms. Wells and Ms. Everhart
are sisters of Mr. Harrison, III.
The trusts described in Item 5(a)&(b)(ii) above have the right to acquire 292,386 shares of
Class B Common stock from Consolidated in exchange for an equal number of shares of Common Stock.
In the event of such an exchange, Mr. Harrison would have sole voting and investment power over the
shares of Class B Common Stock acquired. The trusts do not own any shares of Common Stock with
which to make the exchange, and any purchase of Common Stock would require approval by the trustees
of the trusts.
