**<u>COCA-COLA EUROPACIFIC PARTNERS PLC</u>**

**<u>BOARD AND COMMITTEE CHANGES</u>**

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP) is pleased to announce that, as part of the Board's succession planning and following a comprehensive search and selection process, the following Board and Committee changes were approved by the Board on 14 February 2023, and will take effect at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting due to be held on 24 May 2023 (AGM):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mary Harris and Nicolas Mirzayantz will succeed Jan Bennink and Christine Cross as Independent Non-executive Directors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Once appointed, Mary will become a member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committees and Nicolas will become a member of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nathalie Gaveau will become a member of the Affiliated Transaction Committee.

In addition CCEP is also pleased to announce that Nancy Quan will succeed Brian Smith as a Non-executive Director nominated by European Refreshments Unlimited Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca Cola Company (TCCC)). The change will take effect at the conclusion of the AGM. Once appointed, Nancy will also become a member of the ESG Committee.

The Board would also like to recognise the great contributions that of all those Board members who are planning to retire from the Board at the AGM in May 2023 have played in shaping the success of CCEP to date.

Jan Bennink was appointed as a Non-executive Director of CCEP in May 2016. He was Chair of the Affiliated Transaction Committee from 2016 to 2022 and is currently a member of that Committee and of the ESG Committee. He was also previously a member of the Nomination Committee. His experience of leading major multinational public companies and extensive expertise in FMCG and the food and beverage industry have been particularly important to the Board in the years since the merger.

Christine Cross was appointed as a Non-executive Director of CCEP in May 2016 and is a member of the Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. She was previously Chair of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit Committee. Her in-depth experience of remuneration, coupled with a strong understanding of international business strategy and marketing and sustainable business development, have been particularly helpful to the Board during her tenure and she has played a leading part in laying the strong foundations for the Remuneration policy and strategy and our This is Forward (sustainability action plan) goals related to our people.

Brian Smith was appointed as a Non-executive Director of CCEP in July 2020 and has been a member of the ESG Committee since his appointment. Having worked with TCCC since 1997 in a number of roles, including President and Chief Operating Officer of TCCC, his combination of deep knowledge and experience of the FMCG industry and the Coca-Cola system made him a significant asset to the Board of CCEP.

**About Mary Harris**

Mary Harris brings to the Board, a top level strategic outlook with international and consumer focus from her time as partner at McKinsey and Co and as a Non-executive Director. Mary is currently a Non-executive Director and member of the Nomination and Audit and Risk Committees at ITV plc. She is also the Designated Non-executive Director for workforce engagement and a member of the Remuneration Committee at Reckitt plc and a Supervisory Board member at HAL Holding N.V. Mary has previously held Non-executive Director positions at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, Sainsbury's and TNT Express and TNT N.V.
