Notice of Currency Exchange Rate
Dividend No. 22

Shareholders of AB InBev are referred to the announcement published on the Stock Exchange News Service of
the JSE (“SENS”) on 2 March 2017 and are advised that at the Annual General Meeting held on Wednesday,
26 April 2017, the gross final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2016 proposed by the board of
directors of AB InBev, was approved. Therefore a gross amount of €2.00 per ordinary share will be payable as
the final dividend per share (the “Dividend”).

The exchange rate applicable for the conversion of Euro to South African Rand is ZAR14.5109784: €1.00.
Accordingly, the gross amount of the Dividend equates to 2902.19568 South African cents.

The gross amount of the Dividend will be subject to a Belgian Withholding Tax of 30%. Such withholding tax
may be reduced to 15% in terms of the double tax treaty in force between Belgium and South Africa. A rebate
of the additional Belgian Withholding Tax imposed must be claimed in accordance with the relevant
reimbursement process noted in the announcement published SENS on 2 March 2017.

The Dividend will also be subject to South African Dividends Tax at the rate of 20%, unless a shareholder
qualifies for an exemption. Any shareholder who receives a Dividend which is subject to South African
Dividends Tax (i.e. where no exemption is available) will qualify for a 15% reduction in dividends tax. The
ultimate result in such a case is that the Dividend will be subject to a reduced Belgian Withholding Tax rate of
15% and subject to South African Dividends Tax at a rate of 5%.

Belgian Withholding Tax at the rate of 30% (equalling 870.65870 South African cents per ordinary share) will
be withheld from the gross Dividend paid to shareholders. After the Belgian Withholding Tax has been
withheld, the net Dividend will be 2031.53698 South African cents per ordinary share.

Any shareholder who is in any doubt as to their tax position should seek independent professional advice.
The salient dates are set out below for ease of reference.
