`
`Coca-Cola & Apple Team Up on Major Music Promotions in
`Europe
`Promotion Includes Give Away of 70 Million Songs from the iTunes Music Store in the UK &
`Thousands of iPods in Germany
`LONDON—August 2, 2006—Coca-Cola and Apple® today announced a music partnership in Europe that includes major
`promotions in the UK and Germany and the launch of a new Coke branded music website across Europe, including the UK,
`Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As part of the promotion, Coke and Apple will be giving away 70 million free songs from
`the iTunes® Music Store in the UK and thousands of iPods in Germany.
`
`The new www.Coca-Cola.com/music website is a Coke branded music destination launching next week that features iTunes
`integration throughout, providing fans with links to music and information focused on giving fresh talent new exposure. In
`the UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland unsigned artists will have a venue to upload songs, giving them potential for
`broad exposure on the site through artist highlights, European podcasts available on iTunes, and invitations to play at Coke
`sponsored European festivals.
`
`To kick-off the partnership, live concerts will be held in the UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with selected live songs
`and video podcasts from the performances available on iTunes and www.Coca-Cola.com/music.
`
`“We’re excited to announce this partnership with Apple,” said Dominique Reiniche, president of Coca-Cola European Union
`Group. “Together we are creating a unique and exciting platform that gives young people a voice and allows them to refresh
`their music experience every day.”
`
`“iTunes has sold more than 200 million songs in Europe with 150 million songs sold in just the past year,” said Eddy Cue,
`Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “We’re thrilled to work with Coca-Cola to expand the reach of iTunes and bring more great
`music to European fans.”
`
`Beginning later this month in the UK, 70 million song codes will be in promotional packs of Coca-Cola and Diet Coke, which
`will be redeemable for a free song from the iTunes Music Store. Through www.Coca-Cola.com/music, participants will be
`able to access iTunes and redeem their codes. Participants enter the code found on the Coca-Cola promotional label and
`choose any 79 pence single song from iTunes’ vast catalog of over three million songs. The Coca-Cola iTunes promotion
`will begin in mid-August and run for six weeks, with a five song limit per person.
`
`In September, Coke will be giving away an iPod® and 50 songs from iTunes every hour for eight weeks in Germany at
`(www.coca-cola.de) and starting later this week, Coke customers there will be able to exchange their Coke Fridge loyalty
`coins into free songs from iTunes. Promotions in additional countries across Europe will be rolling out in the coming
`months.
`
`With Apple's legendary ease of use, pioneering features such as integrated video and podcasting support, iMix playlist
`sharing, seamless integration with iPod and groundbreaking personal use rights, the iTunes Music Store is the best way for
`Mac® and PC users to legally discover, purchase and download music and videos online. The iTunes Music Store features a
