Directors’ Report continued

Coca-Cola Amatil Limited

For the financial year ended 31 December 2007

Events after the balance date

a) Off-market share buy-back

On 29 January 2008, CCA announced the successful completion of its $170.0 million off-market share buy-back. A total of 21.7 million shares were bought
back at a price of $7.84, which represents a 14% discount to the market price (being the volume weighted average price of CCA’s ordinary shares on the
ASX over the five trading days up to and including 25 January 2008).

The off-market share buy-back has no impact on the Group’s financial results for the year ended 31 December 2007, and is not expected to impact on CCA’s
ability to fully frank its dividends in the future.

b) Pacific Beverages’ brewery development

On 8 February 2008, CCA made a media announcement that Pacific Beverages Pty Ltd, the joint venture entity CCA formed with SABMiller plc, will build a
boutique premium brewery at Warnervale in the Central Coast region of New South Wales. The brewery, with a capacity of 500,000 hectolitres, is
expected to be completed in 2010 and will be jointly funded by CCA and SABMiller plc.
