The Common Stock has one vote per share on all matters submitted for a vote of Consolidated’s stockholders and the Class B Common Stock has 20 votes per share on such matters. Accordingly, the beneficial ownership reported herein for the Reporting Persons represents in the aggregate approximately 70.6% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of Consolidated Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are held as follows:

Page 8 of 12 Pages

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Amended and Restated Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement

On February 19, 2009, Consolidated entered into an amended and restated stock rights and restrictions agreement (the “Amended and Restated Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement”) with The Coca-Cola Company, Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Investments, Inc. and J. Frank Harrison, III. In connection with entering into the Amended and Restated Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Company converted all of its 497,670 shares of Consolidated Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Consolidated Common Stock. The material terms of the Amended and Restated Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement include the following:

 

 

so long as no person or group controls more of Consolidated’s voting power than is collectively controlled by J. Frank Harrison, III, the trustees under the will of the late J. Frank Harrison, Jr. and any trust that holds shares of Consolidated stock for the benefit of the descendants of the late J. Frank Harrison, Jr. (collectively, the “Harrison Family”), The Coca-Cola Company may not purchase or acquire additional shares of Consolidated stock without Consolidated’s consent;

 

 

so long as no person or group controls more of Consolidated’s voting power than is collectively controlled by the Harrison Family, Consolidated has a right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by The Coca-Cola Company of shares of Consolidated stock other than transfers to a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company;

 

Page 9 of 12 Pages


 

The Coca-Cola Company has certain registration rights with respect to shares of Consolidated stock owned by it; and

 

 

as long as The Coca-Cola Company holds the number of shares of Consolidated stock that it currently owns, it has the right to have its designee proposed by Consolidated for nomination to its Board of Directors, and Mr. Harrison, III and the trustees of certain trusts established for the benefit of members of the Harrison Family have agreed to vote the shares of Consolidated stock that they control in favor of such designee.

The Amended and Restated Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement also provides The Coca-Cola Company the option to exchange its 497,670 shares of Consolidated Common Stock for an equivalent number of shares of Consolidated Class B Common Stock in the event any person or group acquires control of more of Consolidated’s voting power than is collectively controlled by the Harrison Family.

Termination of Irrevocable Proxy and Voting Agreement

On February 19, 2009, in connection with entering into the Amended and Restated Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Company, J. Frank Harrison, III and the other parties thereto entered into a termination of irrevocable proxy and voting agreement, pursuant to which the parties terminated the irrevocable proxy granted to Mr. Harrison, III by The Coca-Cola Company and the voting agreement, dated January 27, 1989, between The Coca-Cola Company, J. Frank Harrison, Jr., J. Frank Harrison, III and Reid M. Henson, as co-trustee of the three trusts established for the benefit of certain members of the Harrison Family.

Other Arrangements with Respect to the Voting and Dispositive Power or the Sale or Acquisition of Consolidated Stock

As the general partner of the FH1 Partnership, the Harrison Family LLC holds voting and dispositive power with respect to all of the shares of Consolidated stock held by the FH1 Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement for the Harrison Family LLC, J. Frank Harrison, III, as the Consolidated Stock Manager, has sole voting and dispositive power over all of the shares of Consolidated stock with respect to which the Harrison Family LLC exercises voting or dispositive power (either directly or in its capacity as the general partner of the FH1 Partnership).

The terms of the trust described in clause (ii) of Item 5(a) & (b) above provide that any shares of Consolidated stock held by the trust will be voted by Mr. Harrison, III, that no shares of Consolidated stock held by the trust may be sold without the written consent of Mr. Harrison, III and that any shares of Consolidated stock held by the trust will be sold upon the instructions of Mr. Harrison, III.

The trust described in clause (ii) of Item 5(a) & (b) above has the right to acquire 292,386 shares of Class B Common Stock from Consolidated in exchange for an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. In the event of such an exchange, Mr. Harrison, III would have sole voting and dispositive power over the shares of Class B Common Stock acquired. The trust does not own any shares of Common Stock with which to make the exchange, and any purchase of Common Stock would require approval by the trustees of the trust.

Simplification Plan and Agreement

On March 17, 2022, J. Frank Harrison, III, individually and as trustee of two trusts established for the benefit of certain relatives of the late J. Frank Harrison, Jr., the other trustees of such trusts and the beneficiaries of such trusts entered into a simplification plan and agreement, pursuant to which (i) the parties agreed to modify the governing documents of each of the trusts and to separate the J. Frank Harrison Family, LLC into three separate

 

Page 10 of 12 Pages


limited liabilities companies and (ii) Sue Anne H. Wells agreed to resign as a director of Consolidated. As a result of such modification and separation, Mr. Harrison, III has no voting or dispositive authority with respect to any shares of Consolidated stock owned, directly or indirectly, by such trusts, except for the voting authority granted by the proxy described below in the description of the Stockholder Conversion Agreement (as defined below).

Stockholder Conversion Agreement

On March 17, 2022, Consolidated entered into a stockholder conversion agreement (the “Stockholder Conversion Agreement”) with the JFH Family Limited Partnership—SW1, the Anne Lupton Carter Trust f/b/o Sue Anne H. Wells, the JFH Family Limited Partnership—DH1 and the Anne Lupton Carter Trust f/b/o Deborah S. Harrison (collectively, the “Converting Stockholders”), pursuant to which Consolidated and the Converting Stockholders agreed upon the process for converting an aggregate of 1,227,546 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Converting Stockholders on a one share for one share basis into shares of Common Stock, effective as of March 17, 2022 (the “Converted Shares”). In the Stockholder Conversion Agreement, (i) Consolidated agreed to cause the Converted Shares to be registered for resale pursuant to Consolidated’s existing automatic shelf registration statement, (ii) the Converting Stockholders agreed to certain restrictions on their resale of the Converted Shares, including a trade volume limitation that prohibits the sale of more than 175,000 of the Converted Shares in the aggregate during any three-consecutive month period, and (iii) the Converting Stockholders granted to J. Frank Harrison, III an irrevocable proxy to represent and to vote the Converted Shares on all matters on which Consolidated’s stockholders are entitled to vote at Consolidated’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 and any adjournment or postponement thereof.
