     The Coca-Cola Company is the largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer

     proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) a

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the information
previously filed under this Item the following:

          Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (formerly known as CCBCC
     Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership and Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership,
     and called the "Partnership" in this Amendment), was formed pursuant to a
     Partnership Agreement dated July 2, 1993 ("Partnership Agreement") between
     Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Investments, Inc., a subsidiary of The
     Coca-Cola Company ("KO Subsidiary"), and subsidiaries of Coca-Cola Bottling
     Co. Consolidated ("Coke Consolidated").

          As reported in Amendment No. 24, The Coca-Cola Company representatives
     had received management approval to begin negotiation of definitive
     transaction documents relating to the acquisition by Coke Consolidated of
     all of KO Subsidiary's interest in the Partnership. Since October 9, 2002,
     the parties have continued to have discussions regarding such acquisition
     by Coke Consolidated, including discussions regarding the acquisition by
     Coke Consolidated of a portion of KO Subsidiary's interest in the
     Partnership. The Coca-Cola Company representatives have now received
     management approval to begin negotiation of definitive transaction
     documents relating to the acquisition by Coke Consolidated of 50% of KO
     Subsidiary's interest in the Partnership, and the parties desire to close
     the transaction under consideration in the first quarter of 2003. However,
     until definitive documentation is executed, the parties have no binding
     legal obligation to close the proposed transaction. There can be no
     assurance that an agreement with respect to such a transaction will be
     reached, or, if an agreement is reached, that its terms will be on terms
     consistent with those described above or that any transaction will be
     consummated.

          The Coca-Cola Company invests in bottling operations such as Coke
     Consolidated in order to maximize the strength and efficiency of its
     production, distribution and marketing systems around the world. In line
     with this bottling strategy, The Coca-Cola Company regularly reviews its
     options relating to its investments in bottling operations throughout the
     world, including its investment in Coke Consolidated. As part of this
     review, The Coca-Cola Company from time to time may consider, evaluate and
     propose various possible transactions involving Coke Consolidated or its
     subsidiaries, which could include, without limitation:

                                 Page 7 of 19

<PAGE>


     (i)  the possible acquisition of additional securities of Coke
          Consolidated, or the disposition of securities of Coke Consolidated;

     (ii) possible extraordinary corporate transactions (such as a merger,
          consolidation or reorganization) involving Coke Consolidated or any of
          its subsidiaries, including with other bottling companies in which one
          or more of the Reporting Persons may have a direct or indirect equity
          interest; or

     (iii) the possible acquisition by Coke Consolidated or its subsidiaries of
          assets or interests in one or more bottling companies, including other
          bottling companies in which one or more of the Reporting Persons may
          have a direct or indirect equity interest, or the possible sale of
          assets or bottling operations by Coke Consolidated or its
          subsidiaries.
