incorporate historical financial statements for SABMiller in such registration statement. As a result, AB
InBev filed today with the SEC the unaudited consolidated income statements, statements of
comprehensive income, cash flow statements, and statements of changes in equity of SABMiller for the
six months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015, and its unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of 30
September 2016 including the notes thereto, which is available as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K, available

statement unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information prepared to reflect the
acquisition of SABMiller, including the financing structure established to fund the acquisition and related
divestitures. Such pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial
statements of AB InBev and the historical consolidated financial statements of SABMiller, is presented for
illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the financial position
of AB InBev that would have resulted had the SABMiller transaction occurred at the dates indicated, or
