("TBK"), a Delaware limited partnership and (iii) Vanderbilt Partners, L.P. ("Vanderbilt"), a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 5 amends a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt dated March 31, 1995 ( the "Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 5 should not be deemed an admission that TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt comprise a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). Tweedy, Browne Company L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") and its general partners entered into a definitive agreement, pursuant to which the Partnership converted to Tweedy, Browne Company LLC (the "Company"), a Delaware limited liability company, and AMG/TBC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.

The members of TBC are Christopher H. Browne, William H. Browne, John D. Spears, Thomas H. Shrager, Robert Q. Wyckoff, Jr. and Holdings (the "Members"). This Amendment No. 5 relates to the Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (The "Company"), which, to the best knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 5, is a company organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices at 1900 Rexford Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211. This Amendment No. 5 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has obtained sole or shared voting power. Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt, there has been no material change in the information set forth in response to Items 1,2,3,4,6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 5. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 505,380 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 7.22% of the 7,004,000 shares of Common Stock which TBC believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

As a result of the disposition of 11,595 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions, as of the date hereof, Vanderbilt does not beneficially own directly any shares of Common Stock. 6 of 9 7 Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt could be deemed to be the beneficial owner as of the date hereof, is 525,680 shares, which constitutes approximately 7.22% of the 7,004,000 shares of Common Stock, which the filing persons believe to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC Shares. The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which each of the General Partners and Members may be deemed to be the beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK and Vanderbilt, or a member of TBC, is 525,680 shares, which constitutes approximately 7.51% of the 7,004,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common Stock with respect to which Thomas P. Knapp may be deemed to be a beneficial owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBK is 20,300 shares of Common Stock which constitutes approximately 0.29% of the 7,004,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that any of the General Partners or Thomas P. Knapp is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock, except as set forth herein as expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a particular General Partner or Thomas P. Knapp. Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock held by the other.
