In addition, certain statements may be contained in the future filings of the Company with the competent securities regulators or other authorities, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by or with the approval of the Company that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “is subject to”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

In addition, the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation also include statements relating to the Transaction, the related divestitures and the financing of the Transaction, including the expected effects of the Transaction on the Company and/or SABMiller and the expected timing of the Transaction. All statements regarding the Transaction, the related divestitures and the financing of the Transaction, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect the current views of the Company’s management, and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties about the Company and SABMiller and are dependent on many factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s and their control. There are important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different, including the satisfaction of the conditions to the transactions described herein; the ability to obtain the regulatory approvals related to the transactions and the ability to satisfy any conditions required to obtain such approvals; the ability to realise the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Transaction; any change of control provisions in agreements to which AB InBev or SABMiller is a party that might be triggered by the Transaction; the factors relating to the Company described above; and the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement on Form F-4 of Newbelco SA/NV (“Newbelco”), which includes a prospectus, filed with the SEC on 26 August 2016. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. There can be no certainty that the proposed transactions will be completed on the terms described herein or at all.

The Company’s statements regarding financial risks are subject to uncertainty. For example, certain market and financial risk disclosures are dependent on choices about key model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market or financial risk disclosures are only estimates and, as a result, actual future gains and losses could differ materially from those that have been estimated. Subject to the Company’s obligations under Belgian and U.S. law in relation to disclosure and ongoing information, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section, AB InBev’s most recent Form 20-F, Newbelco’s Registration Statement on Form F-4, reports furnished on Form 6-K, and any other documents that AB InBev, SABMiller or Newbelco have made public. For a discussion of important factors which could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements relating to SABMiller and the SABMiller Group, refer to SABMiller’s Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2016. These risk factors expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and should also be considered by the reader.

QUANTIFIED FINANCIAL BENEFITS

The statements in relation to synergies relate to future actions and circumstances which, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies. The synergies and cost savings referred to may not be achieved, or may be achieved later or sooner than estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those estimated.

NO FORECASTS OR ESTIMATES

No statement in this presentation (including any statement of estimated synergies or costs savings) is intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any period.

FUTURE SEC FILINGS AND THIS FILING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In connection with the Transaction, Newbelco filed a Registration Statement on Form F-4, which includes a prospectus, with the SEC on 26 August 2016. The prospectus has been mailed to the holders of American Depositary Shares of AB InBev and holders of ordinary shares of AB InBev (other than holders of ordinary shares of AB InBev who are non-U.S. persons (as defined in the applicable rules of the SEC)). INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AB INBEV, SABMILLER, NEWBELCO, THE TRANSACTION AND RELATED

MATTERS. Investors will be able to obtain a free copy of the prospectus and other such filings without charge, on the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov) once such documents are filed with the SEC. Copies of such documents may also be obtained from AB InBev, without charge, once they are filed with the SEC.

NOTICE TO US INVESTORS

US holders of SABMiller shares should note that the steps of any transaction requiring approval by SABMiller shareholders may be implemented under a UK scheme of arrangement provided for under English company law. If so, it is expected that any shares to be issued under the transaction to SABMiller shareholders would be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act of 1933, provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and would be subject to UK disclosure requirements (which are different from those of the United States). The transaction may instead be implemented by way of a takeover offer under English law. If so, any securities to be issued under the transaction to SABMiller shareholders will be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, absent an applicable exemption from registration. If the transaction is implemented by way of UK takeover offer, it will be done in compliance with the applicable rules under the US Exchange Act of 1934, including any applicable exemptions provided under Rule 14d-1(d) thereunder.

This document shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. By attending the meeting where this presentation is made (whether in person, by telephone or webcast), or by reading the presentation slides, you agree to be bound by the above limitations.

Continue to expect cost synergies of at least $1.4 billion

Estimated incremental recurring run-rate pre-tax cost synergies of at least $1.4 billion(a) per annum assuming current FX, in addition to the $1.05 billion cost and efficiency savings identified by SABMiller(b)

Of the $1.05 billion cost and efficiency savings identified by SABMiller, $547 million had been realized by 31 March 2016(c)

Confirmation of synergies is a result of increased visibility and confidence in the synergies identified as part of the collaborative AB InBev

/ SABMiller Convergence Planning process, which has been underway for the last several months

Incremental synergies to be phased in over four years following completion, reaching the recurring run-rate by the end of the fourth year.

Delivery of synergies requires estimated one-off cash costs of $0.9 billion, to be incurred in the first three years after completion

No significant net savings are expected in consumer and customer facing sales & marketing investments within the cost base of SABMiller Synergies are expected to be delivered in the following areas:

Procurement & Engineering Brewery & Distribution Best Practice Corporate HQ/Overlapping

Partial Share Alternative (“PSA”)

For each SABMiller Share, recipients of the PSA will receive 0.483969 Restricted Newbelco Shares and £4.6588 in cash(a)

The PSA is equivalent to a value of £50.93 per SABMiller Share as of 22 August 2016(b) before applying any discount for the unlisted nature of these shares and the other restrictions applying to them

As of 22 August 2016, the PSA represents a premium of approximately 74% to SABMiller’s closing share price of £29.34 on

14 September 2015(c)

The PSA comprises up to 326 million Restricted Newbelco Shares

This separate class of Restricted Newbelco Shares has the following characteristics:

Unlisted

Subject to a 5 year lock-up from closing

Convertible into Newbelco ordinary shares on a 1-for-1 basis from the 5th anniversary of completion

Ranking equally with Newbelco ordinary shares with regards to dividends and voting rights

Altria and BEVCO have signed irrevocable undertakings to elect for the PSA in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of SABMiller shares Any SABMiller shareholder can elect for the PSA in respect of their entire holding of SABMiller shares (not part thereof) (subject to the 326 million share cap – scaleback applied if elections for PSA exceed this amount) Conditions applying to Newbelco Restricted Shares can be found in the Newbelco Articles of Association issued as part of the SEC F-4 Registration Statement on 26 August 2016

(a) In the event that elections for the PSA represent more than 326 million Restricted Newbelco Shares, then such elections will be scaled back pro rata and the balance of the consideration will be satisfied in cash in accordance with the terms of the transaction.

(b) The premium is calculated on the basis of a value of the Partial Share Alternative of GBP 50.93. The calculation is based on the closing price of AB InBev’s ordinary shares on 22 August 2016 of EUR 110.95 and a GBP:EUR exchange rate of 1.1605. This value is stated before taking into account any discount for the unlisted and non-transferable nature of these shares and the other restrictions applying to them.

(c) Being the last business day prior to renewed speculation of an approach from AB InBev.
