and each such series, a "series" of Notes), for an aggregate

if any (the "Aggregate Purchase Price"), of up to US$250 million (the "Tender Cap"), subject to the
acceptance priority procedures and proration described in the Offer
to Purchase (as defined below) from each registered holder of the
Notes (each a "Holder" and, collectively, the "Holders"). We refer
to our offer to purchase each series of Notes as an "Offer" and

Per US$1,000 principal
amount of Notes. The Total Consideration was calculated in
accordance with the formula set forth in Schedule 1 to the Offer to
Purchase, based on a fixed spread and the yield of a specified
reference security for each series of Notes as of 11:00 a.m., New
York City time today, September 9, 2022. The Total Consideration
for each series of Notes includes an early tender premium in the
amount of US$30 per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase
pursuant to the Offers (the "Early Tender Premium").
|
In order to accept for purchase additional Notes validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn), KOF is increasing the Tender
Cap from US$250,000,000 to
US$299,836,078. All other terms of
the Offers as described in the Offer to Purchase remain the
same.
Because the purchase of all Notes validly tendered in the Offers
would cause KOF to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes
that would result in an Aggregate Purchase Price in excess of the
Tender Cap (as increased as herein described), KOF has accepted for
purchase all tendered 5.250% Senior Notes due 2043 and only
US$209,474,000 principal amount of
tendered 2.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). KOF will
pay holders of 2030 Notes validly tendered (and not validly
withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Time on a pro
rata basis according to the pro ration procedures described in
the Offer to Purchase.
Notes that have been validly tendered cannot be withdrawn,
except as may be required by applicable law. Holders of Notes
who tender after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their
Notes accepted for purchase. Any tendered Notes that are not
accepted for purchase will be returned or credited without expense
to the holder's account.
The initial settlement date on which KOF will make payment for
Notes accepted in the Offers is expected to be September 13, 2022 (the "Initial Settlement
Date").
Holders of Notes that validly tendered (and not validly
withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes
have been accepted for purchase are entitled to receive the
applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table above, which
includes the Early Tender Premium set forth therein, and to receive
accrued and unpaid interest on their accepted Notes from the last
interest payment date to, but not including, the Initial Settlement
Date, and additional amounts, if any, as further described in the
Offer to Purchase.
The Offers will expire at 11:59
p.m., New York City time,
on September 22, 2022.
