On December 3, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the “Company”) elected James R. Helvey, III and Umesh M. Kasbekar to the Company’s Board as directors, effective as of January 1, 2016, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Helvey is a director of CTG, a publicly traded information technology solutions and services company, and is a founding managing partner of Cassia Capital Partners, LLC, an asset management firm. Mr. Kasbekar currently serves as Secretary and Senior Vice President, Planning and Administration of the Company. Concurrent with their election as directors, Mr. Helvey was appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board and Mr. Kasbekar was appointed as Vice Chairman of the Board, each effective as of January 1, 2016.

Mr. Helvey will be entitled to receive compensation for his Board and committee service in accordance with the Company’s standard compensation arrangement for non-employee directors, which is described under the caption “Director Compensation” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015, as adjusted by the Board from time to time.

Additionally, there are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Helvey or Mr. Kasbekar that the Company would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
