FINAL DIVIDEND TIMETABLE – REVISED LAST DATE TO TRADE WITH DIVIDEND IN
SOUTH AFRICA

In our results announcement for the year ended 31 March 2016, published on Wednesday,
18 May 2016, SABMiller plc announced the timetable in relation to its proposed final
dividend of 93.75 US cents per share.

Following the announcement on 24 June 2016 by the President of South Africa declaring 3
August 2016 a public holiday, the last date to trade with dividend rights for shares on the
JSE Limited (JSE) will now be Monday 1 August 2016.

The revised timetable for the proposed final dividend is set out below.

20 July 2016              Currency conversion date
21 July 2016              Currency conversion rates announced
21 July 2016              Annual general meeting
1 August 2016             Last day to trade with dividend rights for shares on the JSE
2 August 2016             Ex-dividend date for shares on the JSE
4 August 2016             Ex-dividend date for shares on the London Stock Exchange
5 August 2016             Record date
12 August 2016            Dividend payment date

Shareholders will be asked to approve the proposed dividend at the annual general meeting
on Thursday 21 July 2016. The final dividend is a permitted dividend within the terms of the
joint Rule 2.7 announcement made by the Company and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV
(“AB InBev”) on 11 November 2015. If the proposed acquisition of the Company by a
Belgian company formed for the purposes of the recommended acquisition of the Company
by AB InBev becomes effective prior to 12 August 2016 the final dividend will not be
payable. However, as stated in the Company’s preliminary announcement on 18 May 2016,
the parties do not anticipate completion occurring before that date.

Unless the directors resolve otherwise, from the commencement of trading on 21 July 2016
until the close of business on 5 August 2016, no transfers between the London and
Johannesburg registers will be permitted, and from 2 August 2016 until 5 August 2016, both
days inclusive, no shares may be dematerialised or rematerialised.
