SABMILLER ANNOUNCES PUBLICATION OF ZAR 6,000,000,000 DMTN PROGRAMME
MEMORANDUM


SABMiller plc (the “Company”) announces that its wholly-owned South African
subsidiary SABSA Holdings Limited (formerly SABSA Holdings Proprietary Limited)
(“SABSA”) has issued a programme memorandum (the “Programme Memorandum”)
relating to the establishment by SABSA of a ZAR 6,000,000,000 Domestic Medium Term
Note Programme guaranteed by the Company (the “Programme”).

The Programme Memorandum was approved by the Johannesburg stock exchange, JSE
Limited (“the JSE”), and registered on the Interest Rate Market of the JSE on 13
December 2012. The Company expects that notes issued under the Programme
(“Notes”) will be listed on the Interest Rate Market of the JSE, although under the terms
of the Programme Memorandum unlisted Notes or Notes listed on another financial
exchange may also be issued. No Notes are being issued or offered at this time. The net
proceeds of any issue of Notes will be applied by SABSA for general corporate purposes,
or as may be otherwise described in the applicable pricing supplement relating to such
Notes.

The Programme Memorandum is available for viewing on the JSE’s website
www.jse.co.za and will also shortly be available at www.sabmiller.com. The Programme
Memorandum supersedes and replaces in its entirety the programme memorandum
published by SABSA and SABFIN Proprietary Limited (“SABFIN”) on 7 July 2007 (as
amended) in respect of SABSA’s and SABFIN’s ZAR 4,000,000,000 domestic medium
term note programme (the programme limit under which was increased to ZAR
6,000,000,000 on 24 December 2008), except in relation to notes issued prior to the
date of the Programme Memorandum. SABSA has appointed Absa Corporate and
Investment Bank (a division of Absa Bank Limited) as its debt sponsor in relation to the
Programme in accordance with the JSE’s debt listing requirements.

This announcement may not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United
States, Canada, Australia or Japan. It does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy securities referred to herein or an invitation or
inducement to purchase such securities.

Notes have not been and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States (as such term
is defined in Regulation S under the Act) unless they are registered under the Act or
pursuant to an exemption from registration. No public offer of Notes is being or will be
made in the United States.

This announcement does not constitute or form part of any offer or any solicitation to
purchase, nor shall it, or the fact of its distribution, form the basis of, or be relied on, in
any purchase. This announcement and any subsequent offer of securities may be
restricted by law in certain jurisdictions and persons receiving this announcement or any
subsequent offer should inform themselves about and observe any such restriction.
