The soft drinks bottler Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company has agreed to purchase EWN Getraenke Holdings’s remaining 26.1% shareholding in Coca-Coca Beverages AG, Coca-Cola HBC’s Swiss subsidiary, for CHF82m.


The minority interest held by EWN Getraenke Holdings GmbH (EWN), a German closely held limited liability company, predates the demerger of Coca-Cola Amatil’s European territories in 1998.


Coca-Cola HBC had previously disclosed its intention to purchase EWN’s shares.


CCHBC said the timing of the transaction resulted in more beneficial terms for the company, as the minority shareholder will have no rights in the 2002 dividends of the Swiss business.
Coca-Cola HBC is one of the largest bottlers of non-alcoholic beverages in Europe and the second largest Coca-Cola bottler in the world by sales volume.
