(a)

The offer with respect to the 4.750% Notes due 2029 issued by ABIWW (the “Pool 1 Notes”) is subject to the “Pool 1 Offer Cap” of $1,250,000,000, representing the maximum aggregate purchase price payable, excluding accrued interest, in respect of the Pool 1 Notes that may be purchased (the “Pool 1 Tender Offer”), and subject to the Aggregate Offer Cap (as defined below) not being exceeded. The offers with respect to the 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIFI, the 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIWW and ABC and the 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIWW and ABC (144A / Reg S), (collectively, the “Pool 2 Notes”, and together with the Pool 1 Notes, the “Notes”) are subject to the “Pool 2 Offer Cap” (and together with the Pool 1 Offer Cap, the “Pool Offer Caps”) of $2,000,000,000 less the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) payable for the Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Pool 1 Tender Offer, representing the maximum aggregate purchase price payable, excluding accrued interest, in respect of the Pool 2 Notes that may be purchased (the “Pool 2 Tender Offers”, and together with the Pool 1 Tender Offer, the “Tender Offers”). The Tender Offers are subject to an “Aggregate Offer Cap” equal to an aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) of up to $2,000,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Pool 1 Offer Cap, the Pool 2 Offer Cap and the Aggregate Offer Cap, subject to applicable law, may be increased or decreased in the sole discretion of the Companies.

(c)

The applicable Reference Security will be used to calculate the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below) payable for each series of Notes. The Total Consideration payable pursuant to the Tender Offers will be calculated and determined as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

 

(d)

The applicable Fixed Spread will be used to calculate the applicable Total Consideration payable for each series of Notes, which already includes the Early Tender Payment. The Total Consideration payable pursuant to the Tender Offers will be calculated and determined as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The applicable Total Consideration for each series of Notes will be determined taking into account the maturity date or the par call date, as applicable, in accordance with standard market practice.

 

(e)

Payable in cash per each $1,000 principal amount of the specified series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase. The Total Consideration, when calculated and determined in the manner set forth in the Offer to Purchase, already includes the Early Tender Payment.

 

(f)

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AB InBev and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

 

(g)

The $9,160,220,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIWW and ABC consists of (i) $9,136,739,000 outstanding principal amount of 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIWW and ABC (US03522AAJ97/03522AAJ9) and (ii) $23,481,000 outstanding principal amount of 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIWW and ABC (144A: US03522AAF75/03522AAF7 & Reg S: USU00323AF97/U00323AF9).

The Tender Offers for the Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 11 June 2025 (the “Expiration Time”), or, in each case, any other date and time to which the Companies extend the applicable Tender Offer. Holders must validly tender their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 27 May 2025 (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a series of Notes, the “Early Tender Time”), to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below), as calculated by the Dealer Managers for each series of Notes at or around 9:30 a.m., New York City time on 28 May 2025, as provided for in the Offer to Purchase (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Price Determination Time”), which already includes an amount in cash (the “Early Tender Payment”) equal to the applicable amount set forth in the table above under the heading “Early Tender Payment,” plus accrued interest. If Holders validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the applicable Expiration Time, Holders will only be eligible to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration plus accrued interest.

Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time prior to, but not after, 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on 27 May 2025 (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a series of Notes, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, as set forth in the Offer to Purchase; these conditions include the “Financing Condition”, meaning the completion by AB InBev of one or more offerings of new debt securities that close no later than the Expiration Time on terms satisfactory to the Companies (in their discretion), including but not limited to the amount of net proceeds raised by such offerings being sufficient, in the aggregate, to effect the repurchase of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers.

The Companies will only accept for purchase Notes up to a combined aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) that will not exceed the Aggregate Offer Cap and each of the Pool Offer Caps. The Pool 2 Offer Cap will initially be calculated on the basis of the Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Time, subject to the Pool 1 Offer Cap; provided however that if neither the Aggregate Offer Cap nor the Pool 1 Offer Cap have been reached as at the Early Tender Time, the Pool 2 Offer Cap will then be calculated again following the Expiration Time on the basis of all Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Pool 1 Tender Offer, subject to the Pool 1 Offer Cap (but without prejudice to the fact that Notes tendered at or before the Early Tender Time will have priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, regardless of the Acceptance Priority Levels and whether such Notes are Pool 1 Notes or Pool 2 Notes).

Subject to applicable law, the Companies reserve the right, but are under no obligation, to increase or decrease the Aggregate Offer Cap, the Pool 1 Offer Cap and/or the Pool 2 Offer Cap in respect of the Tender Offers at any time (without extending the Withdrawal Deadline or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights of Holders), which could result in the Companies purchasing a greater aggregate principal amount of Notes in the Tender Offers.

The purchase of any series of Notes is not conditioned upon the purchase of any other series of Notes. Any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers and accepted for purchase will be purchased by the Companies based on the applicable Pool Offer Cap and the Aggregate Offer Cap and the acceptance priority levels within the Pool 2 Tender

Offers noted above (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”), each as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. With respect to each of the Tender Offers, if the purchase of all validly tendered Notes would result in an aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) greater than the applicable Pool Offer Cap, then such Tender Offer will be oversubscribed and if the Companies accept Notes in such Tender Offer, any Notes accepted for purchase in the lowest Acceptance Priority Level in which Notes are accepted for purchase will be accepted for tender on a prorated basis. For the avoidance of doubt, Notes tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time will have priority over Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, regardless of the Acceptance Priority Levels of such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time and whether such Notes are Pool 1 Notes or Pool 2 Notes. If any of the applicable Pool Offer Caps are reached at the Early Tender Time, then no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time in such Tender Offer will be purchased unless the Companies increase the applicable Pool Offer Cap. If the Aggregate Offer Cap is reached at the Early Tender Time, then no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time will be purchased unless the Companies increase the Aggregate Offer Cap and the applicable Pool Offer Cap.

Holders of Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable “Total Consideration”, which already includes the Early Tender Payment for the applicable series of Notes set forth in the table above.

Holders of any Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but at or before the Expiration Time and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment. The Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment is referred to as the “Tender Offer Consideration”.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Offerors reserve the option to, but are under no obligation to, accept for payment Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time promptly after the Early Tender Time (the date of payment for such Notes, the “Early Settlement Date”). If, after the Early Tender Time, the Offerors choose to exercise their option to have an Early Settlement Date and all conditions have been or are concurrently satisfied or waived by us, we will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels, the applicable Pool Offer Caps and the Aggregate Offer Cap, in the Tender Offers prior to the Early Tender Time, and settlement for such Notes will be made on the Early Settlement Date. The Offerors will announce promptly after the Price Determination Time if they intend to exercise their right to have an Early Settlement Date.

Irrespective of whether the Offerors choose to exercise their option to have an Early Settlement Date, if, as of the Expiration Time, all conditions (including the Financing Condition) have been or are concurrently satisfied or waived by us, the “Final Settlement Date” will be promptly after the Expiration Time (and is expected to be the third business day immediately following the Expiration Time), and will apply to all Notes validly tendered, subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels, the applicable Pool Offer Caps and the Aggregate Offer Cap, prior to the Expiration Time and not accepted on the Early Settlement Date, other than any Notes validly withdrawn prior to the Withdrawal Deadline.

Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold their Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in the Tender Offers before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and the Depository Trust Company for the submission and withdrawal of tender instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase.

The 2028 Notes will be redeemed in full on the Redemption Date set forth in the table above at a make-whole redemption price in an amount calculated by the Independent Investment Banker, and equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes; and (ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2028 Notes to be redeemed as if the 2028 Notes matured on 13 January 2028 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) the Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. Such redemption is pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, dated as of 4 April 2018, by and among ABIWW, AB InBev, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), the Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of 4 April 2018 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), and the terms of the 2028 Notes. Capitalized terms used in this paragraph have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Base Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and the terms of the 2028 Notes, as applicable.

On the Redemption Date, (i) the 2028 Notes will no longer be deemed outstanding, (ii) the redemption price will become due and payable on the 2028 Notes and, (iii) unless ABIWW defaults in making payment of the redemption price, interest on the 2028 Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

The Trustee and Paying Agent are transmitting to registered holders of the 2028 Notes the notices of redemption containing information required by the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture. Three Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, the Trustee will transmit to registered holders of the 2028 Notes ABIWW’s supplemental notice containing the redemption price.

The redemption of the 2028 Notes is separate from the Tender Offers, and the Offer to Purchase does not relate to the redemption of the 2028 Notes.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect the current views of the management of AB InBev, are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties about AB InBev and are dependent on many factors, some of which are outside of AB InBev’s control. There are important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different, including, but not limited to the risks and uncertainties relating to AB InBev that are described under Item 3.D of AB InBev’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 12 March 2025. Many of these risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by any further worsening of the global business and economic environment, including as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and ongoing geopolitical conflicts. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere, including AB InBev’s most recent Form 20-F and other reports furnished on Form 6-K, and any other documents that AB InBev has made public. Any forward-looking statements made in this communication are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by AB InBev will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, AB InBev or its business or operations.
