BACKGROUND

 

The subject was incorporated in New South Wales on 29 November 1996 under the current style.

 

The holding entity Coca Cola Amatil Ltd was formed following a major re-organisation in 1989 of Amatil Limited, one of Australia’s oldest corporations. 

 

In 1989/1990 the group sold it’s interests in poultry, tobacco, communications and packaging, leading to a concentration on its core businesses of beverages and snack foods.

 

The involvement of Coca-Cola Amatil in the beverages industry dates back to 1964 with the company’s acquisition of Shelleys and Marchant in Australia.  In 1965, the company bought an interest in Coca-Cola Bottlers in Perth.  A year later the company took control of the Perth operation, and acquired Coca-Cola Bottlers in Melbourne.  Over the next 25 years, Amatil acquired Coca-Cola Bottlers in Geelong, Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle and Port Macquarie.

 

In 1982 Amatil made its first beverages investment overseas with the acquisition of Coca-Cola bottling franchises in Vienna and Graz, Austria. 

 

In 1993 Coca-Cola Amatil sold its snack foods interests to United Biscuits and, as a result, now focuses entirely on beverages. 

 

Today, there are seven bottling plants in Australia, all owned by the group following the acquisition of the Northern  Territory plant in 2005.  These authorised Bottlers are supported in their marketing activities by Coca-Cola South Pacific, the local subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company.

 

On 5 December 2007, Pacific Beverages, the subjects 50:50 alcohol joint venture with SABMiller plc acquired Bluetongue Brewery.

 

On 29 January 2008, the subject 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.
