in the respective Conditions of the Notes.

On the Redemption Date, (i) the Notes will no longer be deemed outstanding, (ii) the Redemption Price will
become due and payable on the Notes, as applicable, and, (iii) unless AB InBev defaults in making payment
of the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the
Redemption Date.


The Domiciliary Agent is transmitting the notices of redemption to registered holders of the Notes, which
contain information required by the respective Conditions of the Notes.

sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or
