SALE OF MILK AND JUICE BUSINESS IN PANAMA

SABMiller plc (“SABMiller”) announces that its subsidiary in Panama, Cervecería Nacional,
S.A., has agreed to sell its milk and juice business to La Cooperativa de Productores de Leche
Dos Pinos R.L. (“Dos Pinos”) for a total cash consideration of US$86.0m.

Fernando Zavala, President of Cervecería Nacional, S.A., commented: “The milk and juice
business is a legacy asset from the Bavaria transaction. The divestment will allow us to
simplify our business processes and focus on beer and carbonated soft drinks in Panama,
where we are the market leader in beer. We hold in high regard the people and brands of
the milk and juice business, and we believe that the business will continue to have a bright
future under the ownership of Dos Pinos.”

Completion of the transaction is subject to approval from the Panama competition authority
(the Authority for Consumer Protection and the Defense of Competition).
