Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a)&(b) Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership Reported.
The Reporting Persons collectively have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 2,001,580
shares (or 21.9%) of Consolidateds Common Stock, assuming all Class B Common Stock (which is
convertible into Common Stock on a share for share basis) beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons was converted to Common Stock. The Common Stock has one vote per share on all matters
submitted for a vote of Consolidateds stockholders and the Class B Common Stock has 20 votes per
share on such matters. Accordingly, the beneficial ownership reported herein for the Reporting
Persons represents in the aggregate approximately 84.8% of the total voting power of the
outstanding shares of Consolidateds Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. All percentage amounts
are calculated based upon 7,141,347 shares of Common Stock and 2,001,982 shares of Class B Common
Stock outstanding on February 19, 2009. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Reporting Persons are held as follows:
(i) 1,605,534 shares of Class B Common Stock are held directly by the Harrison Family Limited
Partnerships (with 535,178 shares held by each Harrison Family Limited Partnership), as to which J.
Frank Harrison, III possesses sole voting and investment power pursuant to the terms of the
operating agreement of Harrison Family LLC (which is the general partner of each such partnership);
(ii) 235,786 shares of Class B Common Stock are held by three trusts for the benefit of J.
Frank Harrison, Jr. and certain of his relatives, as to which Mr. Harrison, III possesses sole
voting and investment power; and
(iii) 160,260 shares of Class B Common Stock are owned directly by J. Frank Harrison, III, as
to which he possesses sole voting and investment power.
(c) Recent Transactions.
In the past 60 days, none of the Reporting Persons had any transactions in the Common Stock
except any transaction that may be deemed to have occurred as a result of the entry into the
Amended Rights and Restrictions Agreement and the Termination Agreement on February 19, 2009. In
connection with the Amended Rights and Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Companys 497,670
shares of Class B Common Stock were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock
of Consolidated. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Mr. Harrison, III terminated the
irrevocable proxy he had held with respect to all shares of Class B Common Stock and Common Stock
owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
(d) Certain Rights to Receive Dividends or Direct Sale Proceeds:
9
The three trusts for the benefit of J. Frank Harrison, Jr. and certain of his relatives have
the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends or the proceeds of sale of the
235,786 shares of Class B Common Stock described in Item (a)&(b)(ii) above.
(e) Ownership of Five Percent or Less of Class:
N/A
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the
Issuer.
On February 19, 2009, Consolidated entered into the Amended Rights and Restrictions Agreement
with The Coca-Cola Company and J. Frank Harrison, III that amends and restates the Stock Rights and
Restrictions Agreement dated January 27, 1989 (the Rights and Restrictions Agreement) between
Consolidated and The Coca-Cola Company. In connection with the parties entering into the Amended
Rights and Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Company converted all of its 497,670 shares of
Consolidateds Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock of
Consolidated.
The material terms and conditions of the Amended Rights and Restrictions Agreement include the
following:
|
|
|
So long as no person or group controls more of Consolidateds voting power than is
collectively controlled by J. Frank Harrison, III, trustees under the will of J. Frank
Harrison, Jr. and any trust that holds shares of Consolidateds stock for the benefit
of the descendants of J. Frank Harrison, Jr. (collectively, the Harrison Family), The
Coca-Cola Company will not acquire additional shares of Consolidateds stock without
the consent of Consolidated; |
|
|
|
|
So long as no person or group controls more of Consolidateds voting power than is
controlled by the Harrison Family, Consolidated has a right of first refusal with
respect to any proposed disposition by The Coca-Cola Company of shares of Consolidated
stock; |
|
|
|
|
Consolidated has the right through January 27, 2019, to call for redemption the
number of shares of Consolidated stock that would reduce The Coca-Cola Companys equity
ownership in Consolidated to 20% at a price not less than $42.50 per share, which is
either mutually determined by the parties or determined by an appraisal or appraisals
conducted by an investment banker or bankers appointed by the parties; |
|
|
|
|
The Coca-Cola Company has certain registration rights with respect to shares of
Consolidated stock owned by it; and |
|
|
|
|
As long as The Coca-Cola Company holds the number of shares of stock in Consolidated
that it currently owns, it has the right to have its designee proposed by Consolidated
for nomination to its board of directors, and Mr. Harrison and trustees of certain
trusts established for the benefit of J. Frank Harrison, Jr. have agreed to vote shares
of Consolidated stock which they control in favor of such designee. |
The Amended Rights and Restrictions Agreement also provides The Coca-Cola Company the option
to exchange the 497,670 shares of Common Stock in Consolidated it acquired upon conversion of the
Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock in the event any
person or group acquires control of more of the Consolidateds voting power than is controlled by
the Harrison Family.
On February 19, 2009, in connection with the entering into of the Amended Rights and
Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Company, J. Frank Harrison, III and the other parties thereto
entered into the Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties terminated the Irrevocable
Proxy (the Irrevocable Proxy) granted to Mr. Harrison by The Coca-Cola Company and the Voting
Agreement between The Coca-Cola Company, J. Frank Harrison, Jr., J. Frank Harrison, III and Reid
Henson, as trustee, dated January 27, 1989 (the Voting Agreement).

Pursuant to the Performance Unit Award Agreement approved by the shareholders at the 2008
Annual Meeting, Consolidated granted Mr. Harrison, III 400,000 performance units that each
represent the right to receive one share of Class B Common Stock. The performance units are
scheduled to vest in annual increments over a ten-year period (fiscal years 2009 through 2018),
subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Performance Unit Award Agreement.
As general partner of each of the Harrison Family Limited Partnerships, Harrison Family LLC
holds voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of Consolidated stock held by
each of the Harrison Family Limited Partnerships. Under the terms of the operating agreement for
Harrison Family LLC, J. Frank Harrison, III, as Consolidated Stock Manager, has sole voting and
investment power over all of the shares of Consolidated stock with respect to which the limited
liability company exercises voting power or investment power (either directly or in its capacity as
general partner of the Harrison Family Limited Partnerships).
The terms of the trusts described in Item 5(a)&(b)(ii) above provide that any shares of
Consolidated stock owned by the trust will be voted by Mr. Harrison, III, that no shares of
Consolidated stock held by the trust may be sold without the written consent of Mr. Harrison, III
and that any shares of Consolidated stock held by the trust will be sold upon the instructions of
Mr. Harrison, III. Pursuant to the terms of such trusts and the terms of the operating agreement
of the Harrison Family LLC, Mr. Harrison, III will vote shares held or controlled by such entities
for the election of either Sue Anne H. Wells or Deborah H. Everhart to serve as a member of
Consolidateds Board of Directors if either of them agrees to serve. Ms. Wells and Ms. Everhart
