What is the impact of the transaction on my AB InBev stock?

The transaction is expected to complete in the evening of Monday 10 October 2016, at around 8.00 pm CET. As from that moment in time:

•

each AB InBev share you held immediately before the merger will be automatically exchanged for one share in the new AB InBev (1:1 exchange ratio).

Does the transaction require any action if I want to remain a shareholder of AB InBev?

No. The transaction is expected to complete in the evening of Monday 10 October 2016, at around 8.00 pm CET. As from that moment in time, each AB InBev share you held immediately before completion will be automatically exchanged for one share in the new AB InBev (1:1 exchange ratio).
