SABMiller confirms Domenic De Lorenzo as Chief Financial Officer


The board of SABMiller plc intends to appoint Domenic De Lorenzo as an
executive director and as Chief Financial Officer with effect from the
conclusion of the forthcoming annual general meeting, to be held on 23 July
2015.
Domenic, currently Director of Group Strategy and Corporate Development and
a member of the Group’s executive committee, has been the acting Chief
Financial Officer since 19 February 2015.

John Manser, Chairman, said: “The board considered a number of high quality
internal and external candidates, and concluded that Domenic was the best-
qualified for the role. He has a strong track record in his previous
positions within the group, which has given him deep experience of
developing our business and our people, and shaping our strategy. He is a
highly capable executive and will be a valuable addition to the board.”

Alan Clark, Chief Executive, said: “Dom proved an outstanding candidate for
appointment as chief financial officer and will hit the ground running
after a strong five months acting in the role. He has quickly made a
positive impact and built a high level of credibility and community in our
finance team, and with our senior business leaders, our executive
committee, and our board. I look forward to continuing to work with Dom as
we pursue our vision to make SABMiller the most admired beverage company in
the world.”

Domenic De Lorenzo assumed responsibility in August 2014 for group strategy
alongside his previous responsibilities as Director of Corporate Finance
and Development. He is a chartered accountant by training, and has been
closely involved in the Group’s finance strategy since his appointment to
the Group’s executive committee in 2011. He is a 19-year veteran of the
group, having originally joined SABMiller's corporate finance team in 1996
from UAL Investment Bank in South Africa. During his career with SABMiller,
he has been involved in many of its key transactions, including Pilsner
Urquell, Miller Brewing Company, Peroni, Bavaria, Grolsch, the formation of
the MillerCoors joint venture and the Foster’s acquisition.
