(NYSE: KOF; BMV: KOFL), the largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America and second largest Coca-Cola bottler as measured by sales volume in unit cases sold in 2002, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Corporacion Interamericana de Bebidas, S.A. de C.V. (formerly Panamerican Beverages, Inc.) has received the requisite consents to amend the indenture under which its U.S.$300,000,000 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2009 were issued. Under the proposed amendment to indenture, Interamericana will no longer be required to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Instead Coca-Cola FEMSA will be required to file (or otherwise make available to Interamericana noteholders) its reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and forms thereunder. Interamericana expects the proposed amendment to become effective in the near future. This move follows Interamericana's decision to deregister its notes with the SEC and the issuance of a guarantee of the notes by Coca-Cola FEMSA. The notes are rated BBB+, BBB, and Baa2 by Fitch, S&P and Moody's respectively. Coca-Cola FEMSA acquired Interamericana on May 6, 2003. * * * Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A. de C.V. produces Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Lift and other trademark beverages of The Coca-Cola Company in Mexico (a substantial part of central Mexico, including Mexico City and Southeast of Mexico), Guatemala (Guatemala City and surrounding areas), Nicaragua (nationwide), Costa Rica (nationwide), Panama (nationwide), Colombia (most of the country), Venezuela (nationwide), Brazil (greater Sao Paulo, Campinas, Santos and part of Mato Grosso do Sul) and Argentina (Gran Buenos Aires), along with bottled water, beer and other beverages in some of these territories.
