The information in this Abridged Prospectus has been extracted, in summarised form, from the full

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
On Wednesday, 7 April 2021 Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“AB InBev”) announced the New
Empowerment Transaction proposed by AB InBev and SAB designed, amongst other things, to facilitate
a reinvestment opportunity for SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholders of their respective rights and
entitlements to receive AB InBev Shares on the unwind of the Existing Empowerment Transaction. Such
rights and entitlements vest on the Vesting Date.
AB InBev and SAB intend to implement the New Empowerment Transaction through SAB Zenzele
Kabili, by means of the following core elements:
1.1. The SAB Zenzele Scheme: The SAB Zenzele Scheme proposed by the SAB Zenzele Board
between SAB Zenzele and the SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholders and duly approved by
the SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholders, in terms of which each SAB Zenzele Retailer
Shareholder cedes to SAB Zenzele Kabili 63.5% of its right and entitlement to receive AB
InBev Shares pursuant to the unwind of the Existing Empowerment Transaction, in
exchange for SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares of proportional value. Each SAB Zenzele
Kabili Ordinary Share will be issued at R40;
1.2. The Reinvestment Offer: SAB Zenzele Kabili has made an offer to SAB Zenzele Retailer
Shareholders to cede all or a portion of the AB InBev Shares (less their SAB Zenzele
Scheme Entitlements) to be received by them pursuant to the unwind of the Existing
Empowerment Transaction to SAB Zenzele Kabili, in exchange for SAB Zenzele Kabili
Ordinary Shares of Proportional Value. The ratio in which SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary
Shares will be issued to SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholders is determined by dividing the
portion of a SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholder’s Retailer Settlement Entitlement (less their
SAB Zenzele Scheme Entitlements) which a SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholder elects to
reinvest pursuant to the Reinvestment Offer, divided by 40 (on the basis that this number
represents the issue price of R40 for each SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Share). This is
effectively the Reinvestment Offer described and made pursuant to the Prospectus.
1.3. New ESOP subscription: The New ESOP will transfer to SAB Zenzele Kabili the equivalent
of R600 million worth of the AB InBev Shares contributed to it by SAB, and as consideration
the Company will issue to the New ESOP SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares of
proportional value. In addition, it is anticipated that the New ESOP will convert AB InBev
Shares with a value of approximately R120 million to cash and use the proceeds to acquire
SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares: (i) from the Qualifying Retailer Shareholders that
participate in the Liquidity Option; or (ii) in the market following the implementation of the
New Empowerment Transaction;
1.4. The SAB Foundation subscription: The SAB Foundation has committed to invest up to
R400 million (i.e. 20% of its proceeds/entitlements from the unwinding of the Existing
Empowerment Transaction) into SAB Zenzele Kabili. To this end, The SAB Foundation will
advance R344 million in cash as subscription consideration for the issue of SAB Zenzele
Kabili Ordinary Shares. The SAB Foundation will also apply up to R56 million of its available
cash to acquire SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares from SAB Zenzele Retailer
Shareholders that participate in the Liquidity Option and if any of the R56 million remains
following the acquisition of the SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares held by the SAB Zenzele
Retailer Shareholders, further acquisitions of SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares may be
made in the market following the implementation of the New Empowerment Transaction;
1.5. SAB Vendor Funding: SAB will transfer the equivalent of R2 973 million worth of AB InBev
Shares to SAB Zenzele Kabili, and in consideration SAB Zenzele Kabili will issue to SAB the
SAB Zenzele Kabili Preference Shares, representing vendor funding of R2 973 million from
SAB. The terms of the SAB Zenzele Kabili Preference Shares to be issued to SAB are set
out in Section 1, paragraph 4.3 on page 35 of the Prospectus;
1.6. Discount Shares: As an incentive to the SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholders to participate
in the New Empowerment Transaction, following implementation of the SAB Zenzele
Scheme, SAB will contribute the equivalent of R811 million worth of AB InBev Shares (as at
28 May 2021) to SAB Zenzele Kabili at no further cost to SAB Zenzele Kabili. Accordingly,
the SAB Retailer Shareholders will have exposure through SAB Zenzele Kabili to additional
AB InBev Shares, to which they would not have had exposure; and
1.7. BEE Listing: Simultaneously or shortly after implementation of the SAB Zenzele Scheme,
SAB Zenzele Kabili will be listed on the BEE Segment pursuant to the BEE Listing, which
will allow SAB Zenzele Retailer Shareholders to freely trade the SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary
Shares received pursuant to the SAB Zenzele Scheme and the Reinvestment Offer from the
outset with any BEE Verified Persons. This is effectively the BEE Listing application made
pursuant to the Prospectus.
2. OVERVIEW OF SAB ZENZELE KABILI
SAB Zenzele Kabili was incorporated and registered as a public company on 5 December 2019
in South Africa. As a result, SAB Zenzele Kabili has not traded and has not conducted any
business, other than in connection with the preparation of the Prospectus.
The Company was established with the intended purpose of being a special purpose company,
with the sole objective of facilitating participation in the New Empowerment Transaction
principally through:
• acquiring AB InBev Shares pursuant to the SAB Zenzele Scheme (if the SAB Zenzele
Scheme is duly approved by SAB Zenzele Shareholders and implemented) and in
consideration issuing SAB Zenzele Kabili Ordinary Shares;
• acquiring additional AB InBev Shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Offer from SAB
Zenzele Retailer Shareholders and in consideration issuing to them SAB Zenzele Kabili
Ordinary Shares;
• receiving the Discount Shares to be contributed by SAB following the implementation of
the SAB Zenzele Scheme;
• acquiring AB InBev Shares pursuant to the SAB Vendor Funding (as more fully described
in Section 2A, paragraph 2.1.2.2.4 on page 41 of the Prospectus) and in consideration
issuing SAB Zenzele Kabili Preference Shares; and
• implementing the BEE Listing, being the listing of the Settlement Shares,
such that, after the implementation of the New Empowerment Transaction, SAB Zenzele Kabili
will hold up to approximately 0.3% of the issued shares of AB InBev.
