Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc Chairman's letter 4 April 2024 Dear Shareholder Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or "Meeting") of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc ("Company" or "CCEP") I am delighted to enclose the Notice of Meeting for CCEP's eighth AGM ("Notice"). The AGM is to be held at 1A Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0EA, United Kingdom on 22 May 2024 at 12:00pm. The Notice sets out the resolutions proposed, together with explanatory and guidance notes for Shareholders who wish to vote electronically or by post. Proxy appointment forms are also enclosed. If you have requested a printed copy of CCEP’s Integrated Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 ("2023 Integrated Report"), it is included in this pack. If you asked to receive the 2023 Integrated Report electronically, please accept this letter as notification that it has now been published on our website: ir.cocacolaep.com/financial-reports-and-results/integrated-reports Shareholder questions at the AGM If Shareholders are unable to attend this year’s AGM, we recognise that they will not have the opportunity to ask questions at the Meeting. Therefore, if Shareholders have questions for the Board in relation to the matters to be discussed at the AGM, please submit them by email to shareholders@ccep.com by 12:00pm on 20 May 2024 (or, in the event of any adjournment, at least 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting). Business of the AGM Please read the enclosed Notice which explains the business to be considered at the Meeting. In addition to the standard items of business I would like to highlight the following items: Election and re-election of Directors - Resolutions 3 - 18 As announced on 14 December 2023, and outlined in our 2023 Integrated Report, Guillaume Bacuvier was appointed to the Board with effect from 1 January 2024 and will stand for election at this year's AGM. Guillaume brings valuable perspectives on consumer behaviours and strategy, as well as marketing effectiveness insights from across Europe and APAC and has a strong track record of commercial and technological business transformation. In line with CCEP's Articles of Association ("Articles"), all other Directors (with the exception of the Chairman) will stand for re-election at the AGM. The Board considers that each of the Directors standing for election and re-election will or will continue to make a strong contribution to the Board and its Committees through their skills and experience and have sufficient time to commit to CCEP. Further information can be found in their biographies on pages 14 to 22 of this Notice. At the conclusion of this year's AGM, subject to the election and re-election of the Directors (with such re-election being recommended by the Board as set out below), your Board will comprise a Chairman, an executive Director, nine independent Non-executive Directors and six non-independent Non-executive Directors. 4


 
Rule 9 waiver granted by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") in favour of Olive Partners, S.A. ("Olive") - Resolution 23 As with previous years, CCEP has applied to the Panel for a waiver of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code to permit the buyback authorities proposed under Resolutions 26 and 27 to be exercised without obliging Olive to make a general offer to Shareholders. The Takeover Code is administered by the Panel and applies to CCEP as a UK public company. The Panel is the UK body which provides a framework for takeovers in the UK and ensures fair and equal treatment of shareholders in relation to takeovers. Accordingly, the Panel was consulted at an early stage regarding the waiver of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. The Panel has reviewed Resolution 23 (Waiver of mandatory offer provisions set out in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code) and has agreed, subject to the approval of the Shareholders other than Olive or any concert party of Olive ("Independent Shareholders"), to waive the requirement for Olive and any person acting in concert with Olive to make a general offer to all Shareholders where such an obligation would arise as a result of purchases by CCEP of up to 46,027,917 of its own ordinary shares of €0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to Resolutions 26 and 27. Under the proposed Resolution 23 we are asking the Independent Shareholders for such approval. An explanation of the reasons for such a request and the background to the obligation arising from Rule 9 of the Takeover Code are set out in the Explanatory Notes to Resolution 23 and in Part IV of this Notice. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of Shareholders that CCEP has the flexibility to return cash to shareholders by buying back shares. The Board believes that the best way to facilitate this is to pass Resolutions 23, 26 and 27. Voting Your vote is important to us. All Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote by: • submitting your proxy instruction/vote online; • completing, signing and returning the enclosed form of proxy; or • attending and voting in person at the AGM in accordance with the instructions set out in Part III of this Notice. All resolutions will be put to a vote by poll based on the instructions received. On a poll, each Shareholder has one vote for every share held and the Board considers that this will result in a fairer and more accurate indication of the views of Shareholders as a whole. The final results of the poll will be announced shortly after the Meeting and published on CCEP's website (www.cocacolaep.com). These results will include the votes cast by non-attending Shareholders prior to the Meeting, and the votes cast by Shareholders at the Meeting. Recommendation Your Board believes that each Resolution proposed in this Notice is in the best interests of CCEP and Shareholders as a whole and recommends that you vote in favour of all Resolutions. In accordance with the Takeover Code, I and my fellow Directors, José Ignacio Comenge, Álvaro Gómez-Trénor Aguilar, Alfonso Líbano Daurella and Mario Rotllant Solá, being nominated to the Board by Olive ("Olive Nominated Directors") did not participate in the Board’s recommendation with regard to Resolution 23 (Waiver of mandatory offer provisions set out in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code), as it is the percentage increase in Olive’s interest in Ordinary Shares that is the subject of the waiver under Resolution 23. Accordingly, the Directors, with the exceptions just described, unanimously recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings, save that Olive and the Olive Nominated Directors will not vote in respect of their shareholdings (if any) on Resolution 23, in which they are considered to be interested. As at 3 April 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Directors' shareholdings amounted to, in aggregate, 609,394 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.1324% of the total voting rights of the Company. As at 3 April 2024, Olive’s shareholding amounted to 166,128,987 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 36.0931% of the total voting rights of the Company. The Olive Nominated Directors have no direct shareholding in the Company, but are indirectly interested in 51,086,304 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 11.0990% of the total voting rights of the Company through their interests in Olive. 5


 
The Directors other than the Olive Nominated Directors ("Non-Olive Directors"), who have been so advised by BNP Paribas, consider Resolution 23 to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Independent Shareholders and the Company as a whole. In providing its advice to the Non-Olive Directors, BNP Paribas has taken account of the Non-Olive Directors' commercial assessments. The Non-Olive Directors also consider Resolution 23 to be in the best interests of CCEP and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Non-Olive Directors unanimously recommend that the Independent Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 23, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings, which, as at 3 April 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) amounted to, in aggregate, 609,394 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.1324% of the total voting rights of the Company. Yours faithfully Sol Daurella Chairman 6

Part II Explanatory notes on resolutions Resolution 1 - Receipt of the Report and Accounts We are required by the Companies Act 2006 to present the Strategic Report and the Reports of the Directors and the Auditor and CCEP's audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 to the Meeting. These are available at ir.cocacolaep.com/financial-reports-and-results/integrated-reports CCEP's Articles permit the Directors to pay interim dividends, which is CCEP's current practice. Resolution 2 - Approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report Under UK company law, quoted companies are required to present to their shareholders a directors' remuneration report for the financial year. This Resolution invites Shareholders to vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2023, as set out on pages 127 to 143 of the 2023 Integrated Report. The 2023 Integrated Report is available at ir.cocacolaep.com/financial-reports-and-results/integrated-reports This vote is advisory and will not affect the future remuneration of the Directors. Resolutions 3 to 18 - Election and re-election of Directors Under CCEP's Articles, all Directors are now required to retire and submit themselves for re-election at each AGM, with the exception of the Chairman. Resolution 3 relates to the election of Guillaume Bacuvier, and resolutions 4 to 18 relate to the re-election of Manolo Arroyo, John Bryant, José Ignacio Comenge, Damian Gammell, Nathalie Gaveau, Álvaro Gómez-Trénor Aguilar, Mary Harris, Thomas H. Johnson, Dagmar Kollmann, Alfonso Líbano Daurella, Nicolas Mirzayantz, Mark Price, Nancy Quan, Mario Rotllant Solá and Dessi Temperley. Biographies of the Directors seeking election and re-election are set out below. In respect of each Director, the strengths and experiences set out indicate why their contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success. The Board reviewed the independence of the Directors and it has been determined that a majority of the Board and of the Non-executive Directors is independent. The Board recognises that eight of CCEP’s Directors, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, cannot be considered independent. However, CCEP benefits from the non-independent Non-Executive Directors' industry experiences and skills, and they continue to demonstrate effective judgement when carrying out their roles, and understand their obligations as Directors, including under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. 13


 
Time Commitment The Board, both prior to a Director’s initial appointment and when nominating a Director for election or re-election, enquires and obtains assurance, that each Director is, or will be, capable of devoting the appropriate time expected of them to board activities and is, or will be, capable of fulfilling their individual, anticipated obligations to CCEP alongside any unanticipated demands which may be placed on them in relation to CCEP or by any other commitments. The Board has carefully considered the additional commitments held by the Directors and has applied the same standard of enquiry for each of them. Our focus is to determine the ability of each Director to commit sufficient time to fulfil their individual obligations, rather than a strict adherence to a numeric count of directorships. Where Directors hold other roles either outside of or elsewhere within the Group, or prior to accepting any additional roles, particular attention is paid to ensure that they are able to commit sufficient time to the Company. The biographies on pages 14 to 22 set out the skills and experience which underpin the contribution each Director brings to the Board for the long term sustainable success of the Company. Based upon the review undertaken, the Board has satisfied itself that each of the Directors is fully able to discharge their duties to the Company and that they each have sufficient capacity to meet their commitments to the Company.

Dessi Temperley Non-executive Director Chairman of the Audit Committee Date appointed to the Board: May 2020 Independent: Yes Key strengths/experience: • Financial and technical accounting expertise • Strong commercial insights and knowledge of European markets • International consumer brands experience • Skilled in technology Key external commitments: Non-executive director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of Cimpress plc, non-executive director and member of the Audit and Risk Committee of Philip Morris International Inc. and member of the Supervisory Board of Corbion N.V. Previous roles: Group CFO of Beiersdorf AG, member of the Supervisory Board of Tesa SE, Head of Investor Relations at Nestlé, CFO of Nestlé Purina EMENA and CFO of Nestlé South East Europe, and finance roles at Cable & Wireless and Shell Resolutions 19 and 20 - Reappointment and Remuneration of the Auditor CCEP is required to appoint an auditor for each financial year, to hold office until the end of the next general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Shareholders. Ernst & Young LLP were first appointed by the Company to audit the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2016 (following the Company's creation in 2016 after the merger). The period of total uninterrupted engagement since the Company's creation, including previous renewals and reappointments is eight years, covering the years ending 31 December 2016 to 31 December 2023. Accordingly, the Board, on the unanimous recommendation of the Audit Committee, which has evaluated the effectiveness and independence of the external auditor, is proposing the reappointment of CCEP's existing Auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, as Auditor of CCEP for the financial year ending 31 December 2024, under Resolution 19. The Directors may set the remuneration of the Auditor if authorised by the Shareholders to do so. The Competition and Markets Authority’s Statutory Audit Services Order, which came into effect on 1 January 2015 (and with which CCEP voluntarily complies), clarified certain responsibilities of the Audit Committee, including providing that, acting collectively or through its chairman, and for and on behalf of the Board, it is permitted to negotiate and agree the statutory audit fee. Resolution 20 seeks authority for the Audit Committee to determine the Auditor’s remuneration for 2024. Resolution 21 - Political donations The Companies Act 2006 prohibits companies from making political donations to political organisations, independent candidates or incurring UK political expenditure exceeding £5,000 in any 12 month period unless authorised by Shareholders in advance. CCEP does not make, and does not intend to make, donations to political organisations or independent election candidates, nor does it incur any political expenditure. However, the definitions of political donations, political organisations and political expenditure used in the Companies Act 2006 are very wide. As a result, this can cover activities such as sponsorship, subscriptions, payment of expenses, paid leave for employees fulfilling certain public duties, and support for bodies representing the business community in policy review or reform. Shareholder approval is being sought on a precautionary basis only, to allow CCEP and any company which, at any time during the period for which this resolution has effect, is a subsidiary of CCEP, to continue to support the community and put forward its views on wider business and government interests, without running the risk of inadvertently breaching the legislation. 22


 
The Board is therefore seeking authority to: (a) make political donations to political organisations and independent election candidates not exceeding £100,000 in total; (b) make political donations to political organisations other than political parties not exceeding £100,000 in total; and (c) incur political expenditure not exceeding £100,000 in total, provided that the aggregate of all expenditure under (a), (b) and (c) shall not exceed £100,000 in total. In line with best practice guidelines published by the Investment Association (IA), this resolution is put to Shareholders annually rather than every four years as required by the Companies Act 2006. For the purposes of this resolution, the terms 'political donations', 'political organisations', 'independent election candidate' and 'political expenditure' shall have the meanings given to them in sections 363 to 365 of the Companies Act 2006. Resolution 22 - Authority to allot new shares This resolution seeks authority from the Shareholders to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any securities into Ordinary Shares. The authority is expected to be renewed at each annual general meeting. Paragraph (a) of this resolution would give the Directors the authority to allot Ordinary Shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to €1,534,263.92 (representing 153,426,392 Ordinary Shares). This amount represents approximately one-third of the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP as at 3 April 2024, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice. In line with guidance issued by the IA, paragraph (b) of this resolution would give the Directors authority to allot Ordinary Shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into Ordinary Shares in connection with a rights issue in favour of ordinary shareholders up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to €3,068,527.85 (representing 306,852,785 Ordinary Shares), as reduced by the nominal amount of any shares issued under paragraph (a) of this resolution). This amount (before any reduction) represents approximately two-thirds of the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP as at 3 April 2024, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority sought under this resolution. The authority is, however, sought to ensure that CCEP has maximum flexibility in managing CCEP's capital resources. If they do exercise the authority, the Directors intend to follow IA recommendations concerning its use (including as regards the Directors standing for re-election in certain cases). The authority sought under this resolution would apply until the end of next year’s annual general meeting or, if earlier, until the close of business on Monday 30 June 2025. As at the date of this Notice, no Ordinary Shares are held as treasury shares by CCEP. Resolution 23 - Waiver of mandatory offer provisions set out in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code Resolution 23 ("Waiver Resolution") seeks approval from the Independent Shareholders of a waiver under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. As described in greater detail below, if Olive's interest in Ordinary Shares increases as a result of CCEP purchasing its own shares, an obligation could arise on Olive, and any person acting in concert with Olive, to make a general offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company. If the Waiver Resolution is approved at the AGM, Olive will not, thereby, be restricted from making an offer for CCEP. However, under the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement, as more fully described in the Prospectus, neither European Refreshments Unlimited Company ("ER") nor Olive may acquire shares in CCEP that, when aggregated with the shares held by the other, represent more than 67% of the issued CCEP shares, other than as a result of an offer (as defined in the Takeover Code) recommended by a simple majority of the Independent Non-executive Directors ("INEDs") of CCEP. Resolutions 26 and 27, which are each conditional on the passing of this Resolution 23, would allow CCEP to buy back its own Ordinary Shares. If Resolutions 26 and 27 pass, CCEP would have authorisation to purchase up to 46,027,917 Ordinary Shares ("Buyback Authorities"). Currently, Olive is interested in an aggregate of 166,128,987 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 36.0931% of the issued share capital of CCEP. If CCEP were to repurchase shares from persons other than Olive, or any person acting in concert with Olive, all the Ordinary Shares for which it is seeking the Buyback Authorities (and assuming no other allotments of Ordinary Shares), the maximum potential shareholding of Olive and any person acting in concert with Olive would increase to approximately 40.1034% of the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP. 23


 
Accordingly, an increase in the percentage of the shares carrying voting rights in which Olive or any person acting in concert with Olive are interested, as a result of any exercise of the Buyback Authorities, would ordinarily, in the absence of a waiver granted by the Panel and the Waiver Resolution (if approved), have the effect of triggering Rule 9 of the Takeover Code and result in Olive and any person acting in concert with Olive being under an obligation to make a general offer to all Shareholders. Following exercise of the Buyback Authorities (either in whole or in part), Olive will continue to be interested in Ordinary Shares carrying more than 30% of the voting rights of CCEP, but will not hold Ordinary Shares carrying more than 50% of such voting rights, and any further increase in that interest (other than a further exercise of the Buyback Authorities) will be subject to the provisions of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. The Takeover Code is administered by the Panel and applies to CCEP because it is a UK public company, which has its registered office in the United Kingdom and has securities admitted to trading on a regulated market in the UK. The Panel is the UK body which provides a framework for takeovers in the UK and ensures fair and equal treatment of shareholders in relation to takeovers. Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, when (i) any person acquires, whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, an interest in shares which, taken together with shares in which he and persons acting in concert with him are interested, carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company subject to the Takeover Code, or (ii) any person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, is interested in shares which in aggregate carry not less than 30% of the voting rights of a company, but does not hold shares carrying more than 50% of such voting rights and such person, or any person acting in concert with him, acquires an interest in any other shares which increases the percentage of the shares carrying voting rights in which he is interested, then in either case, that person is normally required to make a general offer in cash for all the remaining equity share capital of that company at the highest price paid by him, or any persons acting in concert with him, for shares in that company within the 12 months prior to the announcement of the offer. Under Rule 37 of the Takeover Code, when a company purchases its own voting shares, any resulting increase in the percentage of shares carrying voting rights in which a person or group of persons acting in concert is interested will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code (although a shareholder who is neither a director nor acting in concert with a director will not normally incur an obligation to make a Rule 9 offer). However, Rule 37.1 also provides that, subject to prior consultation, the Panel will normally waive any resulting obligation to make a general offer if there is a vote of independent shareholders. Accordingly, the Panel was consulted at an early stage regarding the Waiver Resolution and the Buyback Authorities. The Panel has reviewed the Waiver Resolution and the Buyback Authorities and the Panel has agreed, subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval on a poll, and in accordance with Rule 37.1 of the Takeover Code, to waive the application of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code. The waiver granted by the Panel relates only to any increase in the percentage of Ordinary Shares held by Olive or any person acting in concert with Olive as a result of purchases by CCEP of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Buyback Authorities which are sought from the Shareholders in Resolutions 26 and 27 at the AGM and conditional on the passing of Resolution 23 by the Independent Shareholders of CCEP on a poll. As Olive, and any concert party of Olive, are interested in the outcome of Resolution 23, they will be precluded from voting on that Resolution. The approval in Resolution 23 (if it is given) shall expire at the end of next year’s annual general meeting or, if earlier, the close of business on Monday 30 June 2025. Further details in relation to the Waiver Resolution are set out in Part IV of this Notice. Olive’s intentions Olive has confirmed that it has no intention to make any changes with respect to the following matters because of any increase in its shareholding resulting from a share buyback: (a) the future business of CCEP, including its intentions for any research and development functions of CCEP; (b) the continued employment of the employees and management of CCEP and of its subsidiaries, including any material change in conditions of employment or in the balance of the skills and functions of the employees and management; 24


 
(c) CCEP's strategic plans, and their likely repercussions on employment or the locations of CCEP's places of business, including on the location of CCEP’s headquarters and headquarters functions; (d) employer contributions into CCEP's pension scheme(s) (including with regard to current arrangements for the funding of any scheme deficit), the accrual of benefits for existing members, and the admission of new members; (e) the redeployment of the fixed assets of CCEP; or (f) the maintenance of CCEP’s listing on Euronext Amsterdam, the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("Nasdaq"), London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and the Spanish Stock Exchanges. Olive has confirmed that, if it attains the maximum potential shareholding that it could obtain, of approximately 40.1034% of the issued share capital of CCEP, as a result of the Buyback Authorities, this would not materially affect the running of its future business, including in relation to (b) and (c) above as regards itself, nor significantly affect its earnings, assets or liabilities. BNP Paribas has provided advice to the Non-Olive Directors, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 4(a) of Appendix 1 to the Takeover Code, in relation to the granting of the waiver by the Panel of the obligation that could arise on Olive to make an offer under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code in relation to Resolutions 26 and/or 27. This advice was provided by BNP Paribas to the Non-Olive Directors only, and in providing such advice BNP Paribas has taken into account the Non-Olive Directors’ commercial assessments. Resolutions 24 and 25 - Authority to disapply pre-emption rights If we allot new shares or sell treasury shares for cash (other than in connection with employee share schemes or the dividend reinvestment programme), we are required by the Companies Act 2006 to first offer the shares to Shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings (known as pre-emption rights), but we may seek Shareholder approval to disapply pre-emption rights, or issue shares on a non pre-emptive basis. Resolutions 24 and 25 are proposed as special resolutions, which requires a 75% majority of the votes to be cast in favour to be passed. They would give the Directors the power to allot Ordinary Shares (or sell any Ordinary Shares which CCEP elects to hold in treasury) for cash without first offering them to existing Shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. The power in Resolution 24 would be limited to: (a) allotments or sales in connection with pre-emptive offers and offers to holders of other equity securities if required by the rights of those shares or as the Board otherwise considers necessary; or (b) up to an aggregate nominal amount of €230,139.58 (representing 23,013,958 Ordinary Shares). This aggregate nominal amount represents approximately 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP (excluding treasury shares) as at 3 April 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice. Resolution 25 is intended to give the Company flexibility to make non pre-emptive issues of Ordinary Shares in connection with acquisitions and other capital investments as contemplated by Statement of Principles on Disapplying of Pre-emption Rights published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022 (the ‘2022 Principles’). The power under Resolution 25 is in addition to that proposed by Resolution 24 and would be limited to allotments or sales of up to an aggregate nominal amount of €230,139.58 (representing 23,013,958 Ordinary Shares). The Board confirms that it will only use the additional authority under Resolution 25 where that allotment is in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment (within the meaning given in the 2022 Principles) which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which has taken place in the preceding twelve-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment. This aggregate nominal amount represents approximately 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP (excluding treasury shares) as at 3 April 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice. The 2022 Principles permit a company to allot shares for cash on a non pre-emptive basis of up to: (i) 10% of its issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) on an unrestricted basis; and (ii) a further 10% of its issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) for use in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment as contemplated by the 2022 Principles described above. In both cases, a further authority of up to an 2% can be sought in connection with a follow-on offer to retail investors or existing investors not allocated shares in the offer. The Board acknowledges the provisions of the 2022 Principles. However, at this time, the Board considers it appropriate to retain the limits of 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP in Resolutions 24 and 25 and have not adopted the increased limits of 10% set out in the 2022 Principles.The Board considers that the 5% limits provide 25


 
sufficient flexibility to CCEP at present, but will keep emerging market practice under review and will consider what is in the best interests of the Company. The Board has no present intention of exercising the authorities sought under Resolutions 24 and 25.The Board confirms that, in considering the exercise of the authority under Resolutions 24 and 25, they intend to follow the shareholder protections set out in Part 2B of the 2022 Principles to the extent reasonably practicable and relevant (as the Company is not seeking authority for follow-on offers). The powers sought under Resolutions 24 and 25 would apply until the end of next year's annual general meeting or, if earlier, until the close of business on Monday 30 June 2025. Resolutions 26 and 27 - Authority to purchase own shares Resolutions 26 and 27, which are each conditional on the passing of Resolution 23 (Waiver of mandatory offer provisions set out in Rule 9 of the Takeover Code), would allow CCEP to buy back its own Ordinary Shares via methods permitted by the Companies Act 2006. Resolution 26 would allow CCEP to buy back its Ordinary Shares by way of on-market purchases on a recognised investment exchange pursuant to section 701 of the Companies Act 2006. However, as the Nasdaq, Euronext Amsterdam and the Spanish Stock Exchanges are not recognised investment exchanges for the purposes of section 693(2) of the Companies Act 2006, repurchases conducted on these exchanges do not qualify as 'on-market' purchases. Therefore approval of off-market purchases is sought under Resolution 27 to enable share repurchases of shares quoted on any of these exchanges. The Directors consider it to be desirable to have the general authority to make purchases either by way of on market purchases under Resolution 26 or off market purchases under Resolution 27 (the latter of which, as described above, could include open-market repurchases of shares quoted on the Nasdaq, Euronext Amsterdam or the Spanish Stock Exchanges) to have maximum flexibility in managing CCEP's capital resources or offset the dilutive effect of the issue of new shares under CCEP's share award plans. The Directors will only buy back shares when they consider that such purchases would be in the interests of CCEP and Shareholders generally, and could be expected to result in an increase in the earnings per share of CCEP. There can be no certainty as to whether CCEP will repurchase any of its shares, or as to the amount of any such repurchases or the prices at which such repurchases may be made. Any decision by CCEP to repurchase any of its shares would involve due consideration to the Company's leverage position. CCEP ended FY23 with a net debt to comparable EBITDA ratio of 3 times, returning to the top end of the Company’s target leverage range of 2.5 to 3 times. This demonstrated the pace of deleveraging, reflecting the Company's strong free cash flow generation, since the Company closed the Coca-Cola Amatil Limited acquisition in May 2021. The Company completed the acquisition of Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines Inc. ("CCBPI") in February 2024. As this has only a modest impact on leverage and given the Company's strong focus on driving cash and further working capital improvements, the Company anticipates it will return to within its target leverage during 2024 whilst remaining fully committed to its strong investment grade ratings. CCEP currently has no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Under the Companies Act 2006, Ordinary Shares bought back may be held in treasury or may be cancelled. Ordinary Shares held in treasury may be either sold for cash or transferred for the purposes of an employee share scheme (subject, if necessary, to Shareholders’ approval at a general meeting). Whilst CCEP therefore has a choice of either holding or cancelling any Ordinary Shares it may purchase, given that its Ordinary Shares are held and settled within DTC, CCEP is most likely to choose to cancel any such Ordinary Shares. If, notwithstanding the above, CCEP decides not to cancel such Ordinary Shares, but instead hold them in treasury, CCEP would have regard to any investor guidelines regarding the purchase of Ordinary Shares intended to be held in treasury and their holding or resale. CCEP has share awards outstanding over 1,670,197 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.3629% of CCEP’s ordinary issued share capital as at 3 April 2024. Authority is sought for CCEP to purchase, in aggregate under Resolutions 26 and/or 27, an amount of Ordinary Shares which, as at 3 April 2024, is up to 10% of its issued Ordinary Shares, however, this authorised amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the number of Ordinary Shares that are purchased or agreed to be purchased by CCEP after 3 April 2024 and before 22 May 2024 pursuant to the authority granted at CCEP’s 2023 annual general meeting (if any). This is to ensure that the amount being whitewashed pursuant to Resolution 23 will always be the maximum potential shareholding of Olive and any person acting in concert with Olive. Resolutions 26 and/or 27 are proposed as special resolutions, which require 75% majority of the votes to be cast in favour to be passed. 26


 
On market purchases Under Resolution 26, which is conditional on the passing of Resolution 23, authority is sought to allow CCEP to buy back its own Ordinary Shares by way of market purchases (as such term is defined in section 693(4) of the Companies Act 2006), in accordance with specific procedures set out in the Companies Act 2006. The minimum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share on-market is €0.01, its nominal value. The maximum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share on-market is equal to the highest of: (a) an amount equal to 5% above the average market value of an Ordinary Share purchased on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which that Ordinary Share is contracted to be purchased; and (b) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary Share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out at the relevant time. Off market purchases Under Resolution 27, which is conditional on the passing of Resolution 23, authority is sought to allow CCEP to buy back its own Ordinary Shares by way of off market purchases (as such term is defined in section 693(2) of the Companies Act 2006, which would include open-market repurchases of Ordinary Shares quoted on any of the Nasdaq, Euronext Amsterdam and the Spanish Stock Exchanges), in accordance with specific procedures set out in the Companies Act 2006. Such repurchases may only be made pursuant to a share repurchase contract, the terms of which have been approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 694 of the Companies Act 2006. Resolution 27 specifies which counterparties may each enter into such contracts with CCEP. Under the Companies Act 2006, CCEP may enter into any such contracts prior to, but conditional on, the approval of their terms by Shareholders, or subsequently, once their terms have been approved by Shareholders. As it did at the 2023 annual general meeting, CCEP is seeking approval of the terms of the Contract as defined in Resolution 27. Any Contracts that have not already been approved by Shareholders and which are entered into prior to this year’s AGM will be conditional on the approval of their terms at the AGM and no purchase of any Ordinary Shares will take place under them unless and until such approval is given. Copies of the Contract and the list of repurchase counterparties related to such Contract, will be made available for Shareholders to inspect at CCEP's registered office at Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge UB8 1EZ, United Kingdom from 1 May 2024 until the date of the AGM. Copies of the Contract and the list of repurchase counterparties will also be available for inspection at the AGM. Under the Companies Act 2006, CCEP must seek authorisation for share repurchase contracts and counterparties at least every five years. However, if Resolution 27 is approved, CCEP may repurchase shares pursuant to the form of Contract with the relevant counterparties until the end of next year’s annual general meeting or, if earlier, until the close of business on Monday 30 June 2025. Resolution 28 - Notice period for general meetings other than annual general meetings Under UK company law, general meetings are required to be called on 21 clear days’ notice, except where reduced by special resolution of the shareholders. Resolution 28, which is proposed as a special resolution and requires 75% of votes to be cast in favour to be passed, seeks authority for the Directors to call general meetings (other than annual general meetings) on 14 days’ notice. However, as CCEP has a global shareholder base, in practice we would always aim to provide a longer notice period to allow overseas investors to participate fully. The shorter notice period will not be used as a matter of routine and will only be used where it makes sense to do so, having regard to the business to be transacted at that meeting. In addition, the Directors will not make use of the shorter notice period except where they consider that doing so would be beneficial to the Shareholders as a whole. If the authority is used, CCEP would expect to explain its reasons for taking this exceptional action in its next integrated report and accounts. The authority granted by this resolution shall apply until the end of next year’s annual general meeting or, if earlier, until the close of business on Monday 30 June 2025, and is intended to be renewed every year. CCEP would meet the requirements for electronic voting to be available at any general meeting held on short notice. 27


 
Part III Notes to the Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting Appointment of proxies 1. Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that Shareholder. If a member appoints more than one proxy and the proxy forms appointing those proxies would give those proxies the apparent right to exercise votes on behalf of the member over more shares than are held by the member, then each of those proxy forms will be invalid and none of the proxies so appointed will be entitled to attend, speak or vote at the AGM. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of CCEP. 2. A proxy form which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions accompanies this Notice. If you do not have a proxy form and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional forms, please contact the Company Secretary at Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge UB8 1EZ, United Kingdom, or by email at shareholders@ccep.com. 3. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form. 4. To be valid, any proxy form or other instrument appointing a proxy must be received no later than 12:00pm on 20 May 2024 (or, in the event of any adjournment, 48 hours before the time of the adjourned Meeting). A member may vote by choosing one of the following methods: (a) Voting via the internet: to vote via the internet, go to www.proxyvote.com. Have the information printed on the proxy form in the box marked by the arrow →[xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx] available and follow the instructions. (b) Voting by mail: to vote by mail, request a paper copy of the proxy materials, which will include a proxy form and postage-paid envelope for returning your proxy card. (c) Voting in person: to vote at the Meeting, you will need to request a poll card and complete it at the Meeting. 5. In the case of a Shareholder which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign it for CCEP. 6. The proceedings of a general meeting shall not be invalidated where an appointment of a proxy in respect of that meeting is sent in electronic form as provided above, but because of a technical problem it cannot be read by the recipient. 7. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in CCEP's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior). 8. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same share, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. If CCEP is unable to determine which notice was last received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that share. 9. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the AGM. 10. The return of a completed proxy form, other such instrument or any CREST Form of Instruction or similar proxy instruction (as described in paragraphs 11 to 14 below) will not prevent a Shareholder attending the AGM and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so. 28


 
CREST 11. If you are a holder of Depositary Interests ("DIs"), you should return a completed Form of Instruction to the Transfer Agent, Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, United Kingdom in the enclosed reply paid envelope following the instructions therein. To be effective, the Form of Instruction must be received by the Transfer Agent by no later than 12:00pm on 17 May 2024. Alternatively, holders of DIs may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf. For instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message ("CREST Voting Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/ CREST). 12. To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Transfer Agent (ID: 3RA50) no later than 12:00pm on 17 May 2024 (or, in the event of an adjourned meeting, three business days before the adjourned meeting (excluding weekends and public holidays in the UK)). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which CCEP's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of voting instructions made through CREST should be communicated to the Transfer Agent by other means. 13. Holders of DIs and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the DI holder concerned to take (or, if the DI holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time. In this connection, DI holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. 14. CCEP may treat as invalid a CREST Voting Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. Corporate representatives 15. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its power as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. Nominated persons 16. Any person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights ("Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between him/her and the Shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the Shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights. 17. The statement of the rights of Shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraphs 2 to 10 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by Shareholders. 29


 
Entitlement to attend and vote 18. To be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM either in person or by proxy (and for the purpose of the determination by CCEP of the votes they may cast), Shareholders must be registered in the Register of Members of CCEP at 12:00pm on 20 May 2024, (or, in the event of any adjournment, on the date which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned Meeting). Changes to the Register of Members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders are advised to check our website for updates at www.cocacolaep.com/about-us/governance/ shareholder-meetings. Issued shares and total voting rights 19. As at 3 April 2024 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) CCEP’s issued share capital consists of 460,279,178 Ordinary Shares carrying one vote each. Therefore the total voting rights in CCEP as at 3 April 2024 are 460,279,178 Ordinary Shares. Website publication of audit concerns 20. Under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 members meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require CCEP to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of CCEP’s accounts (including the Auditor’s report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an Auditor of CCEP ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Companies Act 2006. CCEP may not require the Shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Companies Act 2006. Where CCEP is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, it must forward the statement to CCEP's Auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that CCEP has been required under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 to publish on a website. General queries 21. Except as provided above, members who have general queries about the AGM, or queries unrelated to the business of the AGM, should use the following means of communication (no other methods of communication will be accepted): (a) Shareholders may contact our registrar, Computershare, on +1-781-575-2867 (outside the US) or +1-800-418-4223 (within the US); or (b) access Computershare’s investor website at www.computershare.com/us/investor. You may not use any electronic address provided either in this Notice of AGM or any related documents (including the Chairman's letter and proxy form) to communicate with CCEP for any purposes other than those expressly stated. 30


 
Shareholder Information 22. A copy of the Notice of Meeting and other information required by section 311A of the Companies Act 2006 can be found at the Company’s website (www.cocacolaep.com/about-us/governance/shareholder-meetings). 23. Under sections 338 and 338A of the Companies Act, members meeting the threshold requirements in those sections have the right to require the Company to: (a) give to members of the Company entitled to receive notice of the AGM, notice of a resolution which may properly be moved and is intended to be moved at that meeting; and/or (b) include in the business to be dealt with at that meeting any matter (other than a proposed resolution) which may be properly included in the business. A resolution may properly be moved or a matter may properly be included in the business unless: (i) (in the case of a resolution only) it would, if passed, be ineffective (whether by reason of inconsistency with any enactment or the Company’s constitution or otherwise), (ii) it is defamatory of any person, or (iii) it is frivolous or vexatious. Such a request may be in hard copy form or in electronic form, must identify the resolution of which notice is to be given or the matter to be included in the business, must be authenticated by the person or persons making it, must have been received by the Company no later than 9 April 2024, being the date six clear weeks before the AGM, and (in the case of a matter to be included in the business only) must be accompanied by a statement setting out the grounds for the request. Privacy Notice 24. The AGM may involve the processing of shareholders’ personal data, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This includes all data provided by you, or on your behalf, which relates to your shareholding, including, your name, address, contact information, the number and type of shares you hold and the votes you cast. The Company and any third party to which it discloses your personal data (including the Company’s registrar) may process your personal data in accordance with the Company’s privacy policy pursuant to the legitimate interest for the purpose of operating an efficient and reliable voting system. Questions at the AGM 25. Any Shareholder attending the AGM has the right to ask questions. CCEP must cause to answer any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM, but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of CCEP or the good order of the Meeting that the question be answered. 31

Business of CCEP Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc is a publicly traded, UK-domiciled company listed on Euronext Amsterdam, Nasdaq, LSE and the Spanish Stock Exchanges (ticker symbol: CCEP). CCEP is one of the world's leading consumer goods companies. We make, move and sell some of the world's most loved brands - serving 600 million consumers and helping 2.1 million customers across 31 countries grow.

Current ratings CCEP's current long-term ratings from Moody's and Fitch are Baa1 and BBB+, respectively. Changes in the operating results, cash flows or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by the various rating agencies. The credit rating can be materially influenced by a number of factors including, but not limited to, acquisitions, investment decisions, capital management decisions of TCCC and/or changes in the credit rating of TCCC. Should the credit ratings be adjusted downward, the Group may incur higher costs to borrow, which could have a material impact on the financial condition and result of operations. There are no current ratings or outlooks publicly accorded to Olive by any ratings agencies. 32

8. Significant change Save for as set out below, there has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of CCEP since 31 December 2023 (being the date to which its last audited published accounts were prepared). As set out in further detail in Note 27 in the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Integrated Report: • On 14 February 2024, in connection with the acquisition of CCBPI, the Group entered into a term loan facility agreement with the Bank of the Philippine Islands. A term loan facility in an aggregate amount of US$500 million is made available under the agreement to be utilised in Philippine Peso (PHP), which has been defined as the base currency.

Relationship between Olive, CCEP and the Olive Nominated Directors CCEP The governance framework of CCEP is set out in CCEP’s Articles (the terms of which are described on pages 203 to 208 of the Prospectus) and the Shareholders’ Agreement (the terms of which are described at pages 240 to 246 of the Prospectus) which provide a high level framework for the affairs and governance of CCEP and set out CCEP’s relationships with its stakeholders, including Olive and ER. Olive Olive is 57.47375415% owned by Cobega Invest, S.L.U which, in turn, is 100% owned by Cobega. As described in paragraph 7 of this Part IV, Cobega has entered into a number of corporate services agreements with Olive and its subsidiaries.

Olive Nominated Directors In accordance with the terms of the Articles and the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Olive Nominated Directors have been appointed to the Board by Olive. As Olive is considered to be interested in the outcome of the Waiver Resolution, the Olive Nominated Directors have, in accordance with the provisions of the Takeover Code, made no recommendation on the Waiver Resolution.

14. Profit Forecast On 23 February 2024 the Group published its preliminary unaudited results of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2023, which included outlook guidance for the year ending 31 December 2024 (the “Profit Forecast Period”). Such guidance for the Profit Forecast Period included a profit measure (“Profit Forecast”), as presented below: • Operating profit: comparable growth of 7% (on an adjusted and fx neutral basis). The Profit Forecast constitutes a profit forecast for the purposes of Rule 28 of the Takeover Code. It was made in accordance with established practice and as part of the ordinary course of CCEP’s communications with its shareholders and the market. The Directors have considered the Profit Forecast to confirm that it remains valid as at the date of this Notice. The 2024 Profit Forecast includes the results of CCEP adjusted as if the CCBPI acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2023, including provisional acquisition accounting adjustments, accounting policy reclassifications and the impact of debt financing costs in connection with the acquisition. The Profit Forecast is presented on a constant currency and comparable basis excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes and certain items considered by the Group to impact comparability of financial performance between periods. Further detail of the comparable results for the year ended 31 December 2023, including a reconciliation from the Group’s reported results to the comparable results, is included within the Business and Financial Review on pages 81 to 90 of the 2023 Integrated Report. Further, detail of the adjusted comparable results for the year ended 31 December 2023, including a reconciliation from the Group’s comparable results to the adjusted comparable results, is included within the completion announcement published on 23 February 2024. Basis of preparation The Profit Forecast is based on the Group’s current internal forecast for the remainder of the year ending 31 December 2024. The basis of accounting used for the Profit Forecast is consistent with the Group’s existing accounting policies, which are in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, IFRS as adopted by the EU and IFRS as issued by the IASB, and will be applied in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2024. The Directors have prepared the Profit Forecast on the basis referred to above and the assumptions set out below, which have been updated as at the date of this Notice. The Profit Forecast is inherently uncertain and there can be no guarantee that any of the factors referred to below under ‘Assumptions’ will not occur and/or, if they do, their effect on the Group’s results of operations, financial condition or financial performance, may be material. The Profit Forecast should therefore be read in this context and construed accordingly. Assumptions Factors outside the influence or control of the Directors For the year ending 31 December 2024: • there will be: • no adverse change in non-alcoholic ready-to-drink market conditions (including, but without limitation, in relation to actions taken by the Group’s competitors and customers, the price elasticity of the Group's products and the Group’s ability to realise price increase or customer consolidation); • no exposure to prolonged periods of unseasonal weather; • no severe weather events or natural catastrophes; • no change in consumer preferences of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages that the Group is unable to address through changes in its product and packaging ranges; • no further adverse changes in supply chain costs to the Group (for example, as a result of material supply chain disruptions, changes in the cost of unhedged commodities including gas and power, raw material 38


 
availability, supplier consolidation) and/or the Group’s labour costs (including pension and other employment benefits); • no change in the political and/or economic environment in which the Group operates (including changes to economic growth forecasts and inflation rates across our territories), or worldwide event which results in significant disruption to the Group’s business (including any further adverse economic impacts resulting from the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East); • no change in legislation or regulatory requirements relating to the Group or the legislative or regulatory environment within which the Group, or a material part of it, operates (including, without limitation, the introduction of new deposit schemes or other packaging related legislation or the introduction of new soft drink industry taxes or levies); • no change in general sentiment towards TCCC, Monster or the Group and/or its operations which has an impact on the Group; • no business disruption affecting the Group, its customers, its supply chain or other stakeholders (including, but without limitation, product recalls, natural disasters, severe adverse weather, acts of terrorism, cyber- attacks, credit default events for key customers, labour strikes or technological issues); • no change in the Group’s external credit rating, existing debt arrangements, or its ability to access external financing; • no change in the accounting standards or policies which were used for the Profit Forecast; and • no change with respect to the retention of key management; which is material in the context of the Profit Forecast; • there will be no change in control of the Group. Factors within the influence or control of the Directors In preparing the Profit Forecast, the Directors have also assumed that there will be for the year ending 31 December 2024: • no change in the expected realisation of pricing changes with customers; • no change to the strategy or operation of the Group’s business; • no deterioration in the Group’s relationships with customers or suppliers; • no deterioration in the Group’s relationships with TCCC, Monster and other franchisers; • no health and safety issues experienced by the Group; • no unplanned capital expenditure or asset disposals conducted by or affecting the Group; • no merger and acquisition, or divestment activity conducted by or affecting the Group; • no change to the expected realisation of benefits from the Company’s business transformation programmes; and • no change in key management of the Group which is material in the context of the Profit Forecast. Directors’ confirmation The Directors have considered the Profit Forecast and confirm (i) that it remains valid as at the date of this Notice; (ii) that it has been properly compiled on the basis of the assumptions set out in this paragraph 14; and (iii) that the basis of accounting used is consistent with the Group’s existing accounting policies. 39

There is no agreement or arrangement or understanding by which the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares acquired by CCEP pursuant to the Buyback Authorities will be transferred to any other person. Such shares will, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, either be held in treasury up to the amounts permitted to be held in treasury by the Companies Act 2006 or will be cancelled, with the issued ordinary share capital of CCEP being reduced by the nominal amount of those Ordinary Shares so purchased.

In particular, a person is treated as "interested" in securities if: (a) he or she owns them; (b) he or she has the right (whether conditional or absolute) to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting rights attaching to them or has general control of them; (c) by virtue of any agreement to purchase, option or derivative, he or she: (i) has the right or option to acquire them or call for their delivery, or (ii) is under an obligation to take delivery of them, whether the right, option or obligation is conditional or absolute and whether it is in the money or otherwise; or 41

V35990-P06005-Z87002 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM) FORM OF PROXY - NOTES 1. As a member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company. When reading these notes, please read all references to attending in person or having your proxy attend in person. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, please enter in the space provided next to the proxy’s name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If this space provided is left blank they will be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement. 2. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated. 3. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the chairman of the meeting, insert their full name in the space provided. If you leave this space blank, the chairman of the meeting will be appointed as your proxy. Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the chairman you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the meeting and are aware of your voting intentions. If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the chairman and give them the relevant instructions directly. 4. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy, additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the Company's registrar, Computershare on +1-781-575-2867, or you may copy this form. If you are appointing more than one proxy, please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy and indicate by ticking the relevant box that the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments being made. Multiple proxy appointments should be returned together in the same envelope. 5. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior). 6. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, mark the appropriate box with an 'X'. To abstain from voting on a resolution, select the relevant "Vote Withheld" box. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting, including a motion to adjourn. 7. If not voting by internet or phone, as detailed on the reverse side, to appoint a proxy using a hard copy proxy form, the form must be completed and signed or delivered to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a copy of such authority certified notarially. 8. In the case of a member which is a company, this proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form. 9. As an alternative to completing this hard copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy over the internet or by phone, details for which are set out on the reverse side. 10. Holders through CREST should please refer to the Notice of Annual General Meeting for instructions regarding CREST electronic proxy appointment services. 11.
