The Notes will be redeemed in full on the Redemption Date at a make-whole redemption price equal to

Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (in each case, the “Redemption Price”);
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to
(but excluding) the Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day
preceding the Redemption Date. Such redemption is pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, dated as of
16 October 2009, by and among ABIWW, AB InBev, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “October 2009 Indenture”), the Ninth
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of 29 March 2010 (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture”), and
the terms of the Notes.
Capitalized terms used but not defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the October 2009
Indenture, the Ninth Supplemental Indenture and the terms of the Notes, as applicable.
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 and, (iii) unless the Company defaults in making payment of
the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the
