Brussels / 27 September 2019 / 12:30 a.m. CET

Pursuant to the cornerstone investment agreement with GIC Private Limited (“GIC”), the number of offer shares subscribed for by GIC has now been determined as 290,344,400 offer shares, being approximately 20.00% of the offer shares finally available under the IPO and 2.23% of the total issued share capital immediately following the completion of the IPO (taking into account of the partial exercise of the offer size adjustment option and before any exercise of the over-allotment option).

Budweiser APAC will commence dealings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at 9:00am HKT on 30 September 2019 under the stock code 1876.

AB InBev estimates the net proceeds of this offering to be approximately 38.2 billion HKD (approximately 4.9 billion USD), prior to any exercise of the over-allotment option. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, AB InBev estimates the additional net proceeds would be approximately 5.8 billion HKD (approximately 739 million USD). AB InBev intends to apply all of the net proceeds from the offering to repay debt.

Budweiser APAC will have a mutually beneficial relationship with AB InBev, operating under AB InBev’s world-class corporate governance standards and benefiting from access to a portfolio of global and multi-country brands. AB InBev will control a majority ownership of Budweiser APAC. If the over-allotment option is not exercised at all, AB InBev will control 88.86% as at the end of the exercise period. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, AB InBev will control 87.22% as at the end of the exercise period.

Jan Craps, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Budweiser APAC, said, “On behalf of Budweiser APAC, I would like to express gratitude to investors for their recognition and support as we enter an exciting new phase as an APAC champion. We look forward to the successful listing of Budweiser APAC and future opportunities to expand in Asia Pacific by strengthening our local identity and further enhancing our connectivity with stakeholders across the region, as we create long-term value for our shareholders.”
