Our Company
General
The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest nonalcoholic beverage company. We own or license and market more than 500 nonalcoholic
beverage brands, which we group into the following category clusters: sparkling soft drinks; water, enhanced water and sports drinks; juice, dairy and
plant-based beverages; tea and coffee; and energy drinks. We own and market four of the world's top five nonalcoholic sparkling soft drink brands:
Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite. Finished beverage products bearing our trademarks, sold in the United States since 1886, are now sold in more
than 200 countries and territories.
We make our branded beverage products available to consumers throughout the world through our network of independent bottling partners,
distributors, wholesalers and retailers as well as Company-owned or -controlled bottling and distribution operations--the world's largest nonalcoholic
beverage distribution system. Beverages bearing trademarks owned by or licensed to us account for 2.0 billion of the approximately 61 billion servings
of all beverages consumed worldwide every day.
We believe our success depends on our ability to connect with consumers by providing them with a wide variety of beverage options to meet their
desires, needs and lifestyles. Our success further depends on the ability of our people to execute effectively, every day.
Our objective is to execute our growth strategy centered around disciplined portfolio growth; an aligned and engaged bottling system; and winning
with our stakeholders--all supported by revenue growth management and brand-building initiatives--to become more competitive and to accelerate
growth in a manner that creates value for our shareowners.
We were incorporated in September 1919 under the laws of the State of Delaware and succeeded to the business of a Georgia corporation with the
same name that had been organized in 1892.
Our principal office is located at One Coca-Cola Plaza, Atlanta, Georgia 30313, and our telephone number at that address is (404) 676-2121. We
maintain a website at www.coca-colacompany.com where general information about us is available. We are not incorporating the contents of the
website into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

The notes offered by this prospectus supplement are senior debt securities issued under our senior indenture, dated April 26, 1988, as amended (the
"senior indenture"), with Deutsche Bank Trust
S-7
Table of Contents
Company Americas, as successor to Bankers Trust Company, as trustee. The senior indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended.
The senior indenture and the notes do not limit the amount of unsecured indebtedness that may be incurred or the amount of securities that may be
issued by us. We may issue debt securities under the senior indenture in one or more series, each with different terms, up to the aggregate principal
amount which we may authorize from time to time. We also have the right to "re-open" a previous issue of a series of debt securities by issuing
additional debt securities of such series.
Inapplicability of Defeasance, Lien, Sale and Leaseback Provisions
The defeasance provisions described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities--Defeasance of the Indentures and
Securities" and in Section 12.01(b) of the senior indenture will not be applicable to the notes. The lien and sale and leaseback provisions described in
the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities--Restrictive Covenants" and in Sections 5.03 and 5.04 of the senior indenture will
not be applicable to the notes.
Interest on the Notes
Interest on the notes will accrue from and including March 25, 2020 or from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest
has been paid or provided for. We will make interest payments on the notes semi-annually on March 25 and September 25 of each year, with the first
interest payment being made on September 25, 2020. We will make interest payments to the person in whose name the notes are registered at the close
of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a business day) preceding the respective interest payment date.
If the interest payment date is not a business day at the relevant place of payment, payment of interest will be made on the next day that is a
business day at such place of payment and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment on amounts payable from and after such interest
payment date to the next succeeding business day. For the purposes of the notes, "business day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that
is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in the City of New York and, for any
place of payment outside of the City of New York, in such place of payment. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Optional Redemption
Meaning of terms
We may redeem any series of the notes at our option as described below. See "--Our redemption rights." The following terms are relevant to the
determination of the redemption prices of the notes:
When we use the term "Treasury rate," we mean, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield
to maturity of the comparable Treasury issue (as defined below). In determining this rate, we assume a price for the comparable Treasury issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable Treasury price (as defined below) for such redemption date.
When we use the term "comparable Treasury issue," we mean the United States Treasury security selected by an independent investment banker
(as defined below) as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing a new issue of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of
such notes.

"independent investment banker" means each of BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC, and their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by us; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall
cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States, or a "primary Treasury dealer," we shall substitute therefor another
primary Treasury dealer.
When we use the term "comparable Treasury price," we mean, with respect to any redemption date (1), the arithmetic average of the reference
Treasury dealer quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such reference Treasury dealer
quotations, or (2) if we obtain fewer than three such reference Treasury dealer quotations, the arithmetic average of all reference Treasury dealer
quotations obtained, or (3) if only one reference Treasury dealer quotation is obtained, such reference Treasury dealer quotation.
"reference Treasury dealer quotations" means, with respect to each reference Treasury dealer and any redemption date, the arithmetic average, as
determined by us, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable Treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted
in writing to us by such reference Treasury dealer by 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
"reference Treasury dealer" means each of BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC, and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary Treasury dealer, the
Company shall substitute therefor another primary Treasury dealer.
When we use the term "remaining scheduled payments," we mean, with respect to any note, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal
thereof to be redeemed and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such
redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by
the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
Our redemption rights
We may redeem any series of notes at our option and at any time, either as a whole or in part. If we elect to redeem a series of notes, we will pay a
redemption price equal to the greater of:
·
100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; and
·
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption
date (excluding any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption).
In determining the present value of the remaining scheduled payments, we will discount such payments to the redemption date on a semi-annual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury rate plus 40 basis points for the 2025
notes, a discount rate equal to the Treasury rate plus 40 basis points for the 2027 notes, a discount rate equal to the Treasury rate plus 40 basis points for
the 2030 notes, a discount rate equal to the Treasury rate plus 40 basis points for the 2040 notes and a discount rate equal to the Treasury rate plus 40
basis points for the 2050 notes. A partial redemption of notes may be effected by such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate in
accordance with DTC procedures and may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for such
notes or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such notes of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for such notes.
S-9
Table of Contents
The trustee shall have no responsibility for the calculation of the redemption price.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 15 days but not more than 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be
redeemed.
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.
Further Issues
We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the notes, create and issue further notes ranking equally with and
having the same terms and conditions as any series of the notes in all respects (other than the issue date, the price to the public, the payment of interest
accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes and, in some cases, the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes). Such
further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the previously issued notes of that series and have the same terms as to status,
redemption or otherwise as the notes of that series.
