Coca-Cola Consolidated borrows $1.35 billion in term loans to refinance bridge debt
On December 8, 2025, Coca-Cola Consolidated entered into a term loan agreement with Wells Fargo as administrative agent and borrowed the full $1.35 billion available under it. The company will mainly use the proceeds to refinance a $1.20 billion bridge loan from November 7, 2025, with the rest for general corporate purposes, including possible stock repurchases, dividends and capital expenditures, so the filing adds new debt for shareholders to weigh.
