(1) Consideration per $1,000 principal amount of SABMiller Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange.
(2) The term "AB InBev Notes" in this column refers, in each case, to the series of AB InBev Notes corresponding to the series of SABMiller Notes of like tenor and
coupon.
(3) Includes the Early Participation Premium for SABMiller Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Participation Date described below and not validly withdrawn.
(4) SABMiller Holdings Inc. is a limited guarantor of the 6.625% Guaranteed Notes due August 2033 as to certain additional tax withholding amounts.
In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of SABMiller Notes that is validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
29 November 2016 (the "Early Participation Date") and not validly withdrawn (and subject to the applicable minimum denominations),
holders will receive the total consideration set out in the table above (the "Total Consideration"), which consists of $1,000 principal
amount of AB InBev Notes and a cash amount of $1.00.
The Total Consideration includes an early participation premium set out in the table above (the "Early Participation Premium"),
which consists of $30 principal amount of AB InBev Notes.
In exchange for $1,000 principal amount of SABMiller Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Participation Date but prior to
the Expiration Date (as defined below) and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive only the exchange consideration set out in the table
above (the "Exchange Consideration"), which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Premium and so consists of
$970 principal amount of AB InBev Notes and a cash amount of $1.00.
Each AB InBev Note issued in exchange for an SABMiller Note will have an interest rate and maturity that is identical to the interest rate
and maturity of the tendered SABMiller Note, as well as identical interest payment dates and optional redemption prices (subject to certain
technical changes to ensure, as applicable, the fall-back calculations of LIBOR (as defined below) and the treasury rate are consistent with the
methods used in AB InBev's recently issued public indebtedness). No accrued but unpaid interest will be paid on the SABMiller Notes in
connection with the exchange offers. However, interest on the applicable AB InBev Note will accrue from and including the most recent interest
payment date of the tendered SABMiller Note. Subject to the minimum denominations as described herein, the principal amount of each AB InBev
Note will be rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000, and we will pay cash equal to the remaining portion, if any, of
the exchange price of such SABMiller Note. The exchange offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on 13 December 2016, unless
extended (the "Expiration Date"). You may withdraw tendered SABMiller Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Date. As of the date of this
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/310569/000119312516788568/d277996d424b3.htm[12/8/2016 5:10:20 PM]

Questions and Answers about the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations

Q:
Why is the AB InBev Group making the exchange offers and consent solicitations?

A:
The AB InBev Group is conducting the exchange offers to give existing holders of SABMiller Notes, which have not been

registered with the SEC, the option to obtain SEC-registered securities issued by

Table of Contents
Anheuser-Busch InBev Worldwide Inc., which will be pari passu with our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities, to
simplify its capital structure, and to centralize AB InBev's reporting obligations under our various debt instruments. The AB InBev

Group is conducting the consent solicitations to (1) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the SABMiller Notes

Documents and (2) eliminate certain Events of Default due to (a) the acceleration of certain other indebtedness and (b) certain
decrees or judgments being entered against members of the AB InBev Group or their assets. Completion of the exchange offers and
consent solicitations is expected to ease administration of AB InBev's indebtedness.
Concurrently with the exchange offers, the AB InBev Group is also conducting a consent solicitation process and an exchange offer
process (the "foreign liability management processes") with respect to a series of English law governed debt securities issued by
SABMiller Holdings Inc. and a series of Australian law governed debt securities issued by FBG Treasury (Aust.) Pty Ltd (an
affiliate of SABMiller), respectively. Each series is guaranteed by SABMiller Limited. The foreign liability management processes
are each only open to any holder of the applicable securities that can make certain representations, including that it is not located in
the United States and it is not participating from the United States or it is acting on a non-discretionary basis for a principal that is
located outside the United States and that is not giving an order to participate from the United States. Holders that hold any such
securities that cannot make the required representations may not participate in the applicable foreign liability management process.
Any securities issued under the foreign liability management processes will not be registered with the SEC and may not be offered
or sold in the United States or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons absent such registration or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Q:
What will I receive if I tender my SABMiller Notes in the exchange offers and consent solicitations?

A:
Subject to the conditions described in this prospectus, each SABMiller Note that is validly tendered prior to 11:59 p.m., New York
City time, on the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn (and subject to the applicable minimum denominations), will be
eligible to receive an AB InBev Note of the applicable series (as designated in the table below), which will accrue interest at the

same annual interest rate, have the same interest payment dates, same optional redemption prices (subject to certain technical
changes to ensure, as applicable, the fall-back calculations of LIBOR (as defined below) and the treasury rate are consistent with
the methods used in AB InBev's recently issued public indebtedness) and same maturity date as the SABMiller Note for which it
was exchanged.
In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of SABMiller Notes that is validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Early Participation Date, and not validly withdrawn (and subject to the applicable minimum denominations), holders will
receive the Total Consideration, which consists of $1,000 principal amount of AB InBev Notes (as described above) and a cash
amount of $1.00, and includes the Early Participation Premium, which consists of $30 principal amount of AB InBev Notes. In
exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of SABMiller Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Participation Date but prior
to the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive only the Exchange Consideration, which consists of $970
principal amount of AB InBev Notes and a cash amount of $1.00. Any holder, not being a qualified investor, that does not agree to
acquire such amount will not be able to participate in the exchange offers.
The AB InBev Notes will be issued under and governed by the terms of our indenture (the "Indenture") to be entered into on the
Settlement Date by Anheuser-Busch InBev Worldwide Inc. ("ABIWW"), as issuer, AB InBev, as parent guarantor, Anheuser-
Busch Companies, LLC, Brandbev S.à r.l., Brandbrew S.A., Cobrew NV and Anheuser-Busch InBev Finance Inc., as subsidiary

guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee"), described under "Description of
the AB InBev Notes and Guarantees."
The AB InBev Notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 thereafter. See
"Description of the AB InBev Notes and Guarantees--General." We will not accept tenders of SABMiller Notes if such tender
would result in the holder thereof receiving in the applicable exchange offer an amount of AB InBev Notes below the applicable
minimum denomination. If the Issuer would be required to issue an AB InBev Note in a denomination other than $1,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000 above such minimum denomination, the Issuer will, in lieu of such issuance:

·
issue an AB InBev Note in a principal amount that has been rounded down to the nearest lesser whole multiple of $1,000
above such minimum denomination; and pay a cash amount equal to the difference between (i) the principal amount of the

AB InBev Notes to which the tendering holder would otherwise be entitled and (ii) the principal amount of the AB InBev
Note actually issued in accordance with this paragraph; plus
