EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2017 (the “Original Form 8‑K”) by Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to include the financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K and to include exhibits under Item 9.01(d) of Form 8-K, which were omitted from the Original Form 8-K pursuant to paragraphs (a)(4) and (b)(2), respectively, of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. The Original Form 8-K was filed to report the completion of the Company’s acquisition from Coca‑Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (“CCR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, of certain distribution assets and a regional manufacturing facility and related assets (the “April 2017 Acquisitions”). As a result of the April 2017 Acquisitions, the aggregate business acquired by the Company from CCR in fiscal 2017 through April 28, 2017 (the “2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions”) is significant under Rule 3‑05 of Regulation S-X and Item 2.01 of Form 8-K.

 

Item 9.01.Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

 

The audited combined abbreviated statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions as of December 31, 2016 and audited combined abbreviated statement of net revenues and direct operating expenses for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the notes thereto are filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Pursuant to a letter dated June 21, 2017 from the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, the Staff stated that it would not object to the Company’s proposal to provide the abbreviated financial statements described above in satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions as of and for the year ended January 1, 2017 and the notes thereto are filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and are not indicative of the results of operations that would have been realized had the closings for the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions actually been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the 2017 Tranche 1 Expansion Transactions’ operations going forward.
