Dear Shareowner:

          The attached Notice of Special Meeting of Shareowners and Proxy Statement contain details of the business to come before a Special Meeting of Shareowners to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, Tuesday, July 10, 2012, in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of this Special Meeting is to consider an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of The Coca-Cola Company providing for an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company and a two-for-one stock split of the Common Stock.

Our system's 2020 Vision to double our revenues over this decade provides a clear roadmap for creating value for our consumers, customers, bottling partners and shareowners. A stock split reflects our desire to share value with an ever-growing number of people and organizations around the world.

          Your vote is very important to us and to our business. Prior to the meeting, I encourage you to sign and return your proxy card or use telephone or Internet voting, so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting, whether or not you plan to attend.

The proxies also may be voted at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

          The mailing address of our principal executive offices is The Coca-Cola Company, P.O. Box 1734, Atlanta, Georgia 30301. We are first furnishing the proxy materials to shareowners on                           , 2012.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
THE SPECIAL MEETING AND VOTING

1.

What matters will be voted upon at the Special Meeting of Shareowners?

---

          The only proposal included in this proxy statement is the proposal to amend Article FOURTH of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to increase the authorized Common Stock of the Company from 5,600,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, to 11,200,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, and to effect a split of the issued Common Stock of the Company by changing each issued share of Common Stock into two shares of Common Stock (the "Stock Split").

          The Board anticipates that the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from the proposed Stock Split will place the market price of the Common Stock in a range more attractive to investors, particularly individuals, which may result in a broader market for our stock. The primary purpose of doubling the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is to facilitate the proposed Stock Split while preserving the relative proportion of authorized and issued shares to unissued shares of Common Stock. See "Proposed Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation" beginning on page 9.

          Management does not know of any other items which may properly come before the meeting or other matters incident to the conduct of the meeting.

2.

What is a proxy statement and what is a proxy?

---

          A proxy statement is a document that Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations require us to give you when we ask you to sign a proxy designating individuals to vote on your behalf. A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. We have designated three of our officers as proxies for the Special Meeting of Shareowners. These three officers are Gary P. Fayard, Bernhard Goepelt and Gloria K. Bowden.

3.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareowner of record and as a beneficial owner?

---

          If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered a shareowner of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank, trust, or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares.

4.

What different methods can I use to vote?

---

          By Written Proxy.    All shareowners of record can vote by written proxy card. If you are a shareowner of record and receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials, you may request a written proxy card by following the instructions included in the notice. If you are a beneficial owner, you may request a written proxy card or a vote instruction form from your bank or broker.

          By Telephone or Internet.    All shareowners of record also can vote by touchtone telephone within the U.S., U.S. territories and Canada, using the toll-free telephone number on the proxy card,

    5

---

Back to Contents

or through the Internet, using the procedures and instructions described on the proxy card. Beneficial owners may vote by telephone or Internet if their bank or broker makes those methods available, in which case the bank or broker will include the instructions with the proxy materials. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareowners' identities, to allow shareowners to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly.

          In Person.    All shareowners of record may vote in person at the meeting. Beneficial owners may vote in person at the meeting if they have a legal proxy, as described in the response to question 12.

5.

What shares are included on the proxy card?

---

          If you are a shareowner of record, you will receive only one proxy card for all the shares of Common Stock you hold in certificate form, in book-entry form and in any Company benefit plan.

          If you are a Company employee and hold shares of Common Stock in one of our 401(k) or other savings plans, it is important that you direct the plan's administrator how to vote your shares. If you hold shares of Common Stock in The Coca-Cola Company 401(k) Plan, any other U.S. 401(k) or savings plan administered by Mercer Trust Company or the Caribbean Refrescos, Inc. Thrift Plan and do not vote your shares or specify your voting instructions on your proxy card, the administrator of the applicable plan will vote your shares in the same proportion as the shares for which they have received voting instructions. To allow sufficient time for voting by the administrators, your voting instructions must be received by July 5, 2012.

6.

What vote is required to approve the one proposal to be voted upon at the Special Meeting of Shareowners and what are my voting choices?

---

          The proposal to amend Article FOURTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, to increase the authorized Common Stock of the Company from 5,600,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, to 11,200,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, and to effect the Stock Split requires approval by a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          Shareowners may vote in favor of the proposal, against the proposal or may abstain from voting.

7.

What if I am a shareowner of record and do not specify a voting choice on the one proposal to be voted upon when returning a proxy?

---

          Shareowners should specify their voting choice on the proxy card. If no specific instructions are given, proxies which are signed and returned will be voted FOR the proposal to amend Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock of the Company from 5,600,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, to 11,200,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, and to effect the Stock Split.

8.

What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my bank, broker, trust or other nominee?

---

          As a beneficial owner, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like, you must provide voting instructions to your bank, broker, trust or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker, trust or other nominee. The proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation is a discretionary item, which means that generally, banks, brokers, trusts or other nominees who have not received specific voting instructions from beneficial owners may vote on this proposal in their discretion.

6

9.

How are abstentions counted?

---

          Abstentions are included in determining whether a quorum is present, but will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.

10.

What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?

---

          Shareowners can revoke a proxy prior to the completion of voting at the meeting by:

•

giving written notice to the Office of the Secretary of the Company;

•

delivering a later-dated proxy; or

•

voting in person at the meeting (unless you are a beneficial owner without a legal proxy, as described in the response to question 12).

How can I vote at the meeting if I am a beneficial owner?

---

          You will need to ask your bank, broker, trust or other nominee to furnish you with a legal proxy. You will need to bring the legal proxy with you to the meeting and hand it in with a signed ballot that will be provided to you at the meeting. You will not be able to vote your shares at the meeting without a legal proxy. If you do not receive the legal proxy in time, you can follow the procedures described in the response to question 11 to gain admission to the meeting. However, you will not be able to vote your shares at the meeting. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote your shares in advance, even if you intend to attend the meeting.

          Please note that if you request a legal proxy, any previously executed proxy will be revoked, and your vote will not be counted unless you appear at the meeting and vote in person or legally appoint another proxy to vote on your behalf.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Description of the Proposed Amendment and Vote Required

---

          On April 25, 2012, the Board approved an amendment to Article FOURTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is authorized to issue from 5,600,000,000, par value $.25 per share, to 11,200,000,000, par value $.25 per share, and (ii) split the Common Stock of the Company by changing each issued share of Common Stock into two shares of Common Stock, par value $.25 per share. The Board determined that such amendment is advisable and directed that the proposed amendment be submitted for approval by shareowners at a Special Meeting of Shareowners. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is required to approve the proposed amendment.

          The full text of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The amendment will not affect the number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized, which is 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Currently, there are no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Purposes and Effects of Increasing the Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

---

          The proposed amendment would increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is authorized to issue from 5,600,000,000 to 11,200,000,000. The additional 5,600,000,000 shares would be a part of the existing class of Common Stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding. The holders of Common Stock of the Company are not entitled to preemptive rights or cumulative voting.

          The primary purpose of doubling the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is to facilitate the proposed Stock Split while preserving the relative proportion of authorized and issued shares to unissued shares of Common Stock. As of May 21, 2012, there were                  shares of Common Stock issued (of which                  shares were held in the treasury of the Company) and                  shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans. This means that as of May 21, 2012, there were                   authorized shares of Common Stock that were not outstanding, held in the treasury of the Company or reserved for issuance.

          If the proposed amendment is adopted, based on the number of authorized and issued shares of Common Stock as of May 21, 2012, there would be approximately                  shares of Common Stock issued (of which                  shares would be held in the treasury of the Company) and                  shares would be reserved for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans following the Stock Split. As a result, there would be approximately                  authorized shares of Common Stock that are not outstanding, held in the treasury of the Company or reserved for issuance.

          Except for shares reserved for issuance under our existing equity compensation plans, the Board has no current plans to issue additional shares of Common Stock. The Board has not

    9

---

Back to Contents

proposed the increase in the amount of authorized shares of Common Stock with the intention of discouraging tender offers or takeover attempts of the Company. However, the availability of additional authorized shares for issuance may have the effect of discouraging a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other attempt to obtain control of the Company.

Purposes and Effects of Proposed Two-For-One Stock Split

---

          The Board anticipates that the increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from the proposed Stock Split will place the market price of the Common Stock in a range more attractive to investors, particularly individuals, which may result in a broader market for our stock. The Company will apply for the listing of the additional shares of Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange, where the existing Common Stock is listed for trading.

          If the proposed amendment is adopted, each shareowner of record at the close of business on the date the proposed amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware will become the record owner of, and entitled to receive one additional share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock then owned of record by such shareowner. All shares issued as a result of the proposed Stock Split will be issued in book-entry form, either through the Direct Registration System ("DRS") or as a credit to an existing account of a shareowner of record. Consequently, certificates representing shares of Common Stock currently issued should be retained by each shareowner and should not be returned to the Company or to its transfer agent, as it will not be necessary to submit outstanding certificates for exchange.

          The Company has been advised by tax counsel that the proposed Stock Split would not result in recognition of gain, loss or other taxable income by owners of Common Stock under existing U.S. Federal income tax laws. The cost basis for tax purposes of each new share and each retained share of Common Stock would be equal to one-half of the cost basis for tax purposes of the corresponding share immediately preceding the Stock Split. In addition, the holding period for the additional shares issued pursuant to the Stock Split would be deemed to be the same as the holding period for the original shares of Common Stock. Shareowners who are subject to the tax laws of other jurisdictions are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding any tax consequences of the Stock Split under such laws.

          If shareowners dispose of their shares subsequent to the Stock Split, they may pay higher brokerage commissions on the same relative interest in the Company because that interest is represented by a greater number of shares. Shareowners should consult their respective brokers to ascertain the brokerage commission that would be charged for disposing of the greater number of shares.

          In accordance with the various equity compensation plans of the Company, it will be necessary to make appropriate adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock that remain available for issuance pursuant to such plans, as well as in the number of shares and price of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under such plans. From the effective date of the proposed Stock Split, the number of shares that remain available for issuance pursuant to such plans will be doubled, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under such plans will be doubled, and the exercise price per share of stock options granted under such plans will be divided by two. In addition, appropriate adjustments will be made under The Coca-Cola Company Supplemental 401(k) Plan, certain Company sponsored employee stock purchase plans for

10    

---

Back to Contents

employees based outside of the U.S., The Coca-Cola Company Compensation and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors and any other applicable Company plans.

          If the proposed amendment is adopted, the value of the Company's Common Stock account as reflected in the Company's financial statements will be increased to reflect the additional shares issued at par value $.25 per share and the value of the capital surplus account will be reduced a like amount, with no overall effect on shareowners' equity. As described above in "Purposes and Effects of Increasing the Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock" beginning on page 9, if the proposed amendment is adopted, following the Stock Split the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, reserved for issuance and held in the treasury would double.

Effective Date of Proposed Amendment and Issuance of Shares for Stock Split

---

          If the proposed amendment to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is adopted by the required vote of shareowners, such amendment will become effective on the date the proposed amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will become the record date for the determination of the owners of Common Stock entitled to additional shares. If the proposed amendment is approved, the Company currently anticipates that the record date will be July 27, 2012 and the distribution date for such additional shares will be August 10, 2012. The Board reserves the right, notwithstanding shareowner approval of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, and without further action by the shareowners, to elect not to proceed with the amendment if, at any time prior to filing the amendment, the Board determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and shareowners to proceed with the Stock Split.

          Please do not destroy or send your existing stock certificates to the Company. If the proposed amendment is adopted, those certificates will remain valid for the number of shares shown thereon, and should be carefully preserved by you. All shares issued as a result of the proposed Stock Split will be issued in book-entry form, either through DRS or as a credit to an existing shareowner of record account. You will receive information about the additional shares to which you are entitled on or around the distribution date.

          If the proposed amendment is approved, the Company will provide additional details about the implementation of the Stock Split on its website following the Special Meeting of Shareowners.

*         *         *

           The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to amend Article FOURTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock of the Company from 5,600,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, to 11,200,000,000 shares, par value $.25 per share, and to effect the Stock Split.

APPENDIX A

Proposed Amendment to Article FOURTH of Certificate of Incorporation

RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation be, and the same hereby is, amended by deleting the current Article "FOURTH" thereof, and substituting the following:

          "FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the corporation shall have authority to issue is Eleven Billion Three Hundred Million (11,300,000,000) shares, consisting of Eleven Billion Two Hundred Million (11,200,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $.25 per share, and One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share.

          "The Board of Directors of the corporation is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of preferred stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as a "Preferred Stock Designation") to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the shares of common stock, without a vote of the holders of the shares of preferred stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the Preferred Stock Designation or Preferred Stock Designations establishing the series of preferred stock.

          "Each holder of shares of common stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters on which the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to vote.

          "No stockholder shall have any preemptive right to subscribe to an additional issue of shares of any class of stock of the corporation or to any security convertible into such stock.

          "Each share of common stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding or held in the treasury of the Corporation immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Certificate of Amendment relating to this amendment to Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, that being the time at which such amendment shall have become effective, shall be automatically changed into and reclassified as two fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $.25 per share, and at the close of business on such date and by virtue of the foregoing reclassification, each holder of record of common stock shall, without further action, be and become the holder of one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock held of record immediately prior thereto. Effective at the close of business on such date, each share of common stock outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to such time shall continue to represent the same number of shares of common stock and as promptly as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue an additional share of common stock for each share of common stock held of record immediately prior thereto."
