KOF Coca Cola FEMSA SAB De CV

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: KOF) ("KOF") today announced the total consideration and acceptance for its previously announced offers to purchase for cash KOF's notes of the series set forth in the table below (all such notes, the "Notes" and each such series, a "series" of Notes), for an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued interest and additional amounts, if any (the "Aggregate Purchase Price"), of up to US$250 million (the "Tender Cap"), subject to the acceptance priority procedures and proration described in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below) from each registered holder of the Notes (each a "Holder" and, collectively, the "Holders"). We refer to our offer to purchase each series of Notes as an "Offer" and collectively as the "Offers." The Offers are being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated August 25, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase").

The following table sets forth certain information about the Offers, including the total consideration payable for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time yesterday, September 8, 2022 (the "Early Tender Time"), and accepted for purchase by KOF (the "Total Consideration").

______________________

In order to accept for purchase additional Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), KOF is increasing the Tender Cap from US$250,000,000 to US$299,836,078. All other terms of the Offers as described in the Offer to Purchase remain the same.

Because the purchase of all Notes validly tendered in the Offers would cause KOF to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would result in an Aggregate Purchase Price in excess of the Tender Cap (as increased as herein described), KOF has accepted for purchase all tendered 5.250% Senior Notes due 2043 and only US$209,474,000 principal amount of tendered 2.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). KOF will pay holders of 2030 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Time on a pro rata basis according to the pro ration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

Notes that have been validly tendered cannot be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law.  Holders of Notes who tender after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Any tendered Notes that are not accepted for purchase will be returned or credited without expense to the holder's account.

The initial settlement date on which KOF will make payment for Notes accepted in the Offers is expected to be September 13, 2022 (the "Initial Settlement Date").

Holders of Notes that validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase are entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes the Early Tender Premium set forth therein, and to receive accrued and unpaid interest on their accepted Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Initial Settlement Date, and additional amounts, if any, as further described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 22, 2022.
