All or some of the Ordinary Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Shareholder will result from the conversion by the Selling Shareholder of restricted shares of the Company, without nominal value (the “Restricted Shares”) into Ordinary Shares. The Firm ADSs, and the Optional ADSs are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Offered ADSs.” The Firm Shares are hereinafter also referred to as the “Offered Shares.” The Offered ADSs and the Offered Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities.” Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P.

(b) The Selling Shareholder will pay, and will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters against, any documentary, stamp, issue, registration, transfer or other similar tax or duty, including any interest and penalties, imposed on the Underwriters under the laws of the United States or the Kingdom of Belgium or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein that is imposed on (i) the sale and delivery of the Securities by the Selling Shareholder to the Underwriters, the resale and delivery of the Securities by the Underwriters and the deposit of the Ordinary Shares being deposited with the Custodian, in each case, in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company, the Selling Shareholder or the Underwriters of this Agreement; in each case, other than any such taxes that would not have been imposed but for, with respect to any Underwriter, (A) an existing connection between such Underwriter and the taxing jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby), (B) the failure by such Underwriter to provide or file any accurate and complete tax form, certificate, document, or other information reasonably requested by the Selling Shareholder that would have reduced such taxes or (C) a solely voluntary action of such Underwriter (other than such actions contemplated by, or legally required for the enforcement or protection of its rights under this Agreement or the Prospectus, or the sale, resale, delivery or deposit of the Securities). All payments to be made by the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges whatsoever, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”) imposed under the laws of the United States or the Kingdom of Belgium or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless the Selling Shareholder is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such Taxes. In that event, and except for (A) any net income, capital gains, franchise taxes or other similar taxes imposed on the Underwriters by the United States, the Kingdom of Belgium or other applicable jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of any present or former connection (other than any connection resulting solely from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) between the Underwriters and such jurisdiction, (B) withholding Taxes imposed under the laws of the United States or the Kingdom of Belgium imposed on amounts payable to the Underwriters pursuant to a law in effect on the date hereof, or (C) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure by the Underwriters to provide or file any accurate and complete tax form, certificate, document, or other information reasonably requested by the Selling Shareholder that would have reduced such deduction, withholding, or Taxes, the Selling Shareholder shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order to ensure that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made.

16

(c) All sums payable to the Underwriters shall be considered exclusive of any VAT levied in the Kingdom of Belgium by any taxing authority thereof or therein (“Belgian VAT”). Where such Belgian VAT is properly chargeable in respect of a supply made by the Underwriters to the Company or, as the case may be, the Selling Shareholder, and the Underwriter is required to account for such Belgian VAT to a relevant tax authority, the Company or, as the case may be, the Selling Shareholder shall pay to the Underwriter an amount in respect of such Belgian VAT in addition to, and at the same time as, the sum payable hereunder. Where a sum is paid, reimbursed or indemnified to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement in respect of any cost, expense or other amount and that cost, expense or other amount includes an amount in respect of VAT levied in any jurisdiction in the European Union, by any taxing authority thereof or therein, which is not recoverable by way of input credit or refund (the “VAT Element”), then the payment, reimbursement or indemnification by the Company or, as the case may be, the Selling Shareholder shall include an amount equal to such VAT Element. For the purposes of this Agreement “VAT” means any tax imposed in compliance with the Council Directive of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (EC Directive 2006/112).

10. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Indemnified Parties,” and each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including without limitation the legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding on any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show materials that are listed on Schedule D, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon (x) the Selling Shareholder Information and (y) information relating to the Underwriters furnished to Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriters’ Information; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in a Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of the Securities that are the subject thereof if a copy of the General Disclosure Package was not conveyed to such person for purposes of Sections 12(a)(2) and 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act at or prior to the Applicable Time and the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the General Disclosure Package.

(b) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter Indemnified Parties to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but, with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show materials that are listed on Schedule D, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications, only with reference to the Selling Shareholder Information.

19

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties,” and each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) and the Selling Shareholder and each person, if any, who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Selling Shareholder Indemnified Parties,” and each, an “Selling Shareholder Indemnified Party) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but, with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any road show materials that are listed on Schedule D, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications, only with reference to the Underwriters’ Information.

(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the three preceding paragraphs, such person (hereinafter called the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (hereinafter called the “indemnifying party”) in writing (or by facsimile and confirmed in writing) but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives if the indemnified parties under this Section 10 consist of any Underwriter Indemnified Party, by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 10 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties or by the Selling Shareholder if the indemnified parties under this Section 10 consist of any Selling Shareholder Indemnified Parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties on the other, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,

20

claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholder and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Pricing Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Shareholder or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) The Company, Selling Shareholder and Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Selling Shareholder or the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement,(ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

11. TERMINATION. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives, in their discretion, by notice given to the Company and the Selling Shareholder, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of Euronext Brussels, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE MKT LLC; (ii) trading of the Company’s Ordinary Shares or ADSs shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of Euronext Brussels or the New York Stock Exchange, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared (x) in New York by either Federal or New York State authorities or (y) in Belgium by either the Belgian authorities or the European Central Bank or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Representatives’ judgment, is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clause (a) (i), such event singly or together with any other such event makes it, in the Representatives’ judgment, after consultation with the Company and the Selling Shareholder, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and Prospectus.

12. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS’ EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) the Selling Shareholder shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason not permitted under this Agreement or (b) the sale of the Securities is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on

21

the part of the (i) Selling Shareholder or (ii) the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then, in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with Section 8, the Selling Shareholder (or, solely in the case of termination pursuant to clause (b)(ii) of the preceding sentence, the Company) shall reimburse the Underwriters in accordance with this Section 12 for the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel and for such other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket accountable expenses as shall have been actually incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Selling Shareholder or the Company, as applicable, shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives, provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Selling Shareholder shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of expenses to the extent incurred by such defaulting Underwriter; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not limit any reimbursement obligation of the Selling Shareholder to any non-defaulting Underwriter under this Section 12.

13. SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Securities hereunder on any Closing Date, and the aggregate number of shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of shares with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Shareholder for the purchase of such shares by other persons are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate.

If the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters on such Closing Date as provided in this Section 13, (i) the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone such Closing Dates for a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order that the Company and the Selling Shareholder may effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees promptly to file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the respective numbers of shares to be purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the Company and Selling Shareholder or the other Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholder, except that the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and other statements set forth in Sections 2 and 3, the obligations with respect to expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Sections 8 and 12 and the provisions of Section 10, Section 14 and Sections 16 through 24, inclusive, shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.

14. ABSENCE OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) each Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company and the Selling Shareholder is solely contractual in nature, the Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Securities and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Representatives has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Representatives have advised or are advising the Company or the Selling Shareholder on other matters;

(b) the price of the Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Selling Shareholder following a book-building process immediately prior to the signing of this Agreement, and the Company and the Selling Shareholder are capable of evaluating and understanding, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) it has been advised that the Representatives and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Shareholder and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company and the Selling Shareholder by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

22

(d) it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Representatives shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or the Selling Shareholder in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including shareholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

15. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE UNDERWRITERS. The Underwriters understand and agree that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Underwriters, the Company or the Selling Shareholder that would permit a public offering of any Securities other than the United States, without prejudice to any required filings with the FSMA for the admission to the trading of the Offered Shares and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Offered ADSs on the regulated market of Euronext.

16. SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder and, to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof, the Company Indemnified Parties, the Underwriter Indemnified Parties and the Selling Shareholder Indemnified Parties, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have the right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

17. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 10 and the representations and warranties of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the several Underwriters contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of any of the Company, the Selling Shareholder, their respective directors, the Company’s officers, or any other person controlling the Company or the Selling Shareholder and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan” and, together with Morgan Stanley, the “Representatives”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with a certain shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) party thereto and Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA/NV, a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Belgium (the “Company”), providing for the public offering in the United States and private placement in the European Economic Area to certain legal entities all of which are qualified investors within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2017 (the “Offering”) by the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”), of the ordinary shares (without nominal value) of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) and Ordinary Shares to be delivered in the form of American Depositary Shares of the Company (the “ADSs,” and, together with the Ordinary Shares, the “Securities”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Securities or any options or warrants to purchase any Securities beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

(a) transactions relating to Securities or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Securities or other securities acquired in such open market transactions;

(b) transfers of Securities or any security convertible into Securities as a bona fide gift, provided that (i) each donee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement, (ii) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (iii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding such transfer, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that such transfer reflects the circumstances described in this subpart (b) and is not a disposition for value;

1

(c) distributions or transfers of Securities or any security convertible into Securities to (1) current or former partners (general or limited), members, stockholders, holders of similar equity interests in the undersigned or the estates of any of the foregoing or (2) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control or common investment management with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned, provided that (i) each distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Securities shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period (other than on a form required to be filed under Section 16(a), in which case such form shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this subpart (c));

(d) facilitating the establishment or amendment after the date hereof of a trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “Trading Plan”) for the transfer of Securities, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Securities during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Securities may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;

(e) transfers of Securities to the Company pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect on the date of this agreement and described in the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”) that provides for the repurchase of the undersigned’s Securities by the Company, including that certain share repurchase agreement dated as of March 13, 2024, between Altria Group, Inc. and the Company as disclosed in the Prospectus;

(f) transfers of Securities pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction approved by the Company’s board of directors and made with or offered to all holders of the Company’s Securities resulting in a change in the ownership of a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company that is made or offered after the Offering (a “Change of Control”), provided that, in the event that such Change of Control is not completed, the undersigned’s Securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement and title to the undersigned’s Securities shall remain with the undersigned;

(g) transfers of Securities by operation of law, provided that (i) the transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement and (ii) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; and

(h) conversion of restricted shares (without nominal value) of the Company into Ordinary Shares, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period (other than on a form required to be filed under Section 16(a), in which case such form shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this subpart (h)).

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities; provided however, no consent is required if no filing by the undersigned under the Exchange Act, including a public or confidential registration statement, or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily by the undersigned in connection with such demand or exercise during the Restricted Period.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any Securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities, even if any such sale or disposition transaction or transactions would be made or executed by or on behalf of someone other than the undersigned.

2

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing herein shall limit the undersigned’s ability to publicly disclose information regarding its holdings in the Company in a manner that is consistent with the disclosures in its Schedule 13D filings, including the Schedule 13D filings to be made in connection with the Offering.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s legal representatives, successors and assigns.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering of the Securities and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to you in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Offering or sell any Shares at the price determined in the Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company, the Selling Shareholder, and the Underwriters.

This agreement (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Period described herein) and the related restrictions shall automatically terminate and become null and void upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, Morgan Stanley, on behalf of the Underwriters, on the one hand, or the Selling Shareholder, on the other hand, advising the other in writing that they have or it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the registration statement with respect to the Offering is withdrawn, (iii) the termination of the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) prior to the payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder and (iv) March 31, 2024, in the event the initial closing of the Securities to be sold under the Underwriting Agreement has not occurred prior to such date.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
