Frequently Asked Questions

The main reason for this amended 10-Q filing (10-Q/A) is to provide the XBRL-formatted Interactive Data File (Exhibit 101), which was inadvertently omitted from the original Form 10-Q due to technical issues. This amendment does not introduce any new financial information or alter the previously reported financial results or disclosures.

No, this filing explicitly states that it does not contain any new financial information or update existing disclosures. It serves only to correct a procedural omission by adding the XBRL data file. Investors should refer to the original Form 10-Q filed on October 29, 2009, for the company's financial performance details for the quarter ended October 2, 2009.

Being a 'large accelerated filer' indicates that Coca-Cola Co. meets specific criteria set by the SEC based on its public float (market value of shares held by non-affiliates), annual revenue, and filing history. This classification generally means the company is larger, has more public scrutiny, and is subject to more stringent reporting and governance requirements compared to smaller filers.

This amendment primarily adds Exhibit 101 (the XBRL data file). Other exhibits listed in the filing, such as incorporation documents, by-laws, indentures, and certifications, are incorporated by reference from previous filings, meaning they are not new documents being presented for the first time with this amendment.
