of the Pool 2 Notes that may be purchased (the “Pool 2 Tender Offers, and together with the Pool 1 Tender Offers, the “Tender
Offers”). The Tender Offers are subject to an “Aggregate Offer Cap” equal to an aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and
unpaid interest) of up to $3,000,000,000, 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.
(b) We will accept Notes in each of the Tender Offers in the order of their respective Acceptance Priority Level specified in the table above

Priority Level in the case of the Pool 1 Tender Offers, and “1” being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and “16” being the lowest

Consideration payable for each series of EUR 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 (as defined below) 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.
(e) Payable in cash per each $1,000, €1,000 or £1,000 principal amount, as applicable, of the specified series of Notes validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase.
(f) The GBP Notes and the EUR Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ABC, ABIFI, ABIWW, Brandbev S.à r.l., Brandbrew

and indirect subsidiaries.
(g) The $3,491,141,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of 3.650% Notes due 2026 issued by ABIWW and ABC consists of (i)
$3,335,820,000 outstanding principal amount of 3.650% Notes due 2026 issued by ABIWW and ABC (US03522AAG58/03522AAG5)
and (ii) $155,321,000 outstanding principal amount of 3.650% Notes due 2026 issued by ABIWW and ABC (144A:
US03522AAD28/03522AAD2 & Reg S: USU00323AD40/U00323AD4).
(h) The $9,542,514,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of 4.900% Notes due 2046 issued by ABIWW and ABC consists of (i)

US03522AAF75/03522AAF7 & Reg S: USU00323AF97/U00323AF9).
The Tender Offers for the Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 30 November
2023 (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 14 November 2023 (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) which includes an amount in cash (the “Early Tender
Payment”) equal to the applicable amount set forth in the table above under the heading “Early
ab-inbev.com 4
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 or prior to, but not after, 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on
14 November 2023 (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.
The Companies will only accept for purchase Notes up to a combined aggregate purchase price
(excluding accrued and unpaid 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 Offers, 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 each of the Pool 1
Tender Offers and 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
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 at or before 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
ab-inbev.com 5
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 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”.
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 the clearing system for the
submission and withdrawal of tender instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines
specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase.
Holders holding GBP Notes or EUR Notes directly in the NBB-SSS or through a direct
participant of the NBB-SSS (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) must, in order
to be eligible to participate in the Tender Offers in the manner specified in the Offer to Purchase,
(i) arrange for the GBP Notes or EUR Notes which they wish to tender to be transferred to an
account in either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, and (ii) maintain, or where relevant,
procure, access to an account in either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg through which
such GBP Notes or EUR Notes can be traded, and to which the Total Consideration or the
Tender Offer Consideration (as applicable) and the applicable accrued interest payment may
be credited by AB InBev.
Holders of GBP Notes or EUR Notes who do not have access to an account, as described
above, in either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (either directly or through a direct
participant or other intermediary), or who do not transfer the GBP Notes or EUR Notes which
they wish to tender to a direct participant in either clearing system, will not be able to submit a
GBP/EUR Tender Instruction (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to the Tender and
Information Agent and will not be eligible to participate in the Tender Offers in the manner
specified in the Offer to Purchase.
Any Holder of GBP Notes or EUR Notes who (i) holds its GBP Notes or EUR Notes directly, or
through a direct participant of the NBB-SSS, in an “N account” within the NBB-SSS, (ii) is not
eligible, in accordance with Article 4 of the Belgian Royal Decree of 26 May 1994, to hold its
Notes (directly or indirectly) in an “X account” within the NBB-SSS, and who is therefore unable
to transfer the relevant Notes to an account in either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
and (iii) who is eligible to view the Offer to Purchase and make an investment decision with
respect to the Tender Offers, may contact the Tender and Information Agent for further
information, using the contact details set out below.
