Athens, Greece — 15 February 2012 — Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. (Coca-Cola Hellenic) announced today the Financial Calendar of 2012 according to article 4.1.4.3.1 of the Athens Exchange Regulation:

Based on legislation enacted in 2011, inbound dividends from qualifying investments in EU subsidiaries have been exempt from corporate income tax in Greece. However, guidance has yet to be issued on the implementation details of this provision.  Given the uncertainty surrounding this issue, we did not repatriate foreign dividends to enable us to pay an annual dividend for 2011.
