Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc announces update to share buyback programme
2 July 2026
On 17 February 2026, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the "Company") announced its intention to return up to €1bn to shareholders through a coordinated share buyback programme on (i) Nasdaq and other applicable US trading venues ("the US Trading Venues") and (ii) the London Stock Exchange, CBOE Europe Limited (through the BXE and CXE order books) and Aquis (the "London Trading Venues") (the "Programme"). The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the issued share capital of the Company. All shares repurchased as part of the Programme will be cancelled. The first tranche of the Programme, which was for an aggregate amount of up to €500mn, commenced on 18 February 2026 and completed on 24 April 2026.
The second tranche of the Programme is expected to commence on 6 July 2026 and the Company has entered into an arrangement in relation to this second tranche of the Programme with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs International (together with their affiliates "GS"), consisting of two contracts to enable the purchase of ordinary shares on both the US Trading Venues and the London Trading Venues. GS will act as riskless principal, share purchases will be made in accordance with the arrangement and effected within certain contractually agreed parameters, and shall be made independently of and uninfluenced by the Company.
The second tranche of the Programme is expected to cover the period from 6 July 2026 up to and including 18 December 2026, although it may complete earlier than that date. The aggregate amount for purchases in respect of this second tranche of the Programme is up to €500mn, of which up to €130mn will be in respect of the London Trading Venues. The second tranche is the final tranche of the Programme, and if executed in full the Company will have returned up to c. €1bn to shareholders under the Programme.
Additional details
The Programme will be effected in accordance with (i) (in relation to purchases made on the London Trading Venues) the scope of the authority to repurchase ordinary shares "on market" conferred on the Company at the 2026 Annual General Meeting; (ii) (in relation to purchases made on the US Trading Venues) the scope of the authority to repurchase ordinary shares "off market" conferred on the Company at the 2026 Annual General Meeting; (iii) (in relation to purchases made on the London Trading Venues) (EU) No 596/2014 (the Market Abuse Regulation) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 as applicable (both as in force in the UK, and as they form part of retained UK law as defined in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018); (iv) Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules; and (v) applicable U.S. federal securities laws, including applicable US securities laws and anti-manipulation provisions thereof. In relation to purchases on the London Trading Venues, GS will acquire CREST depositary interests on the London Trading Venues, which will be cancelled together with the underlying shares they represent.
The maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased or committed to be purchased by the Company under the contracts entered into in respect of this second tranche of the Programme is 42,289,442 (which is the maximum remaining number pursuant to the relevant authorities granted by shareholders at the Company’s 2026 Annual General Meeting after taking into account shares acquired pursuant to the first tranche of the Programme).
