EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This
Post-Effective Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-165065,
333-165566, 333-169272, 333-171231, 333-172069, 333-178664, 333-188517, 333-192806, 333-201386 and 333-208634) (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, a public limited liability company
(
société anonyme/naamloze vennootschap
) incorporated in Belgium (“Old AB InBev”) and the predecessor of Newbelco SA/NV, a public limited liability company (
société anonyme/naamloze vennootschap
),
which has subsequently been re-named Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“New AB InBev” or the “Registrant”), relating to the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan, the Discretionary Restricted Stock Units
Programme, the Share-Based Compensation Plan, the Share-Based Compensation Plan Relating to American Depositary Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the People Bets Purchase Plan, the Long-Term Incentive Plan Relating to Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev,
the Long-Term Incentive Plan Relating to American Depositary Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the Exceptional Incentive Restricted Stock Units Programme and the 2020 Dream Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plans”). New AB InBev succeeded to the
interests of Old AB InBev following the business combination between Old AB InBev and SABMiller plc (“SABMiller”) (the “Transaction”) pursuant to a Co-operation Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2015 (the
“Co-operation Agreement”), between Old AB InBev and SABMiller. The Co-operation Agreement provided for, among other things, the merger of Old AB InBev with and into New AB InBev through a merger by absorption under the Belgian Law of
7 May 1999, setting out the Companies Code (the “Belgian Merger”). The Transaction was approved by the shareholders of Old AB InBev at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on September 28, 2016.
As a result of the Belgian Merger, all assets and liabilities of Old AB InBev were transferred to New AB InBev and New AB InBev was automatically substituted
for Old AB InBev in all its rights and obligations by operation of Belgian law. In addition, upon the effective date of the Belgian Merger, (1) each outstanding ordinary share of Old AB InBev without nominal value was automatically converted
into one Ordinary Share of the Registrant and (2) each outstanding and unexercised option or other right to purchase or receive or security convertible into Old AB InBev ordinary shares and/or American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)
became an option or right to purchase or receive or a security convertible into the Registrant’s Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs on the basis of one Ordinary Share or ADS of the Registrant for each ordinary share or ADS of Old AB InBev issuable
pursuant to any such option, right to purchase or convertible security, on the same terms and conditions and at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price applicable to any such Old AB InBev option, stock purchase right or convertible
security. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the Registrant had as its only assets (i) the minimum capital required under Belgian law and (ii) funds borrowed by it in order to pay the stamp duty in the UK associated
with the Transaction.
3
In accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities Act, the Registrant, as successor issuer to Old AB InBev, hereby
expressly adopts the aforementioned Registration Statements as its own for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the
aforementioned Registration Statements.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
Group Coverage and Policy
New AB InBev is incorporated under the laws of Belgium. Under Belgian law, the directors of a company may be liable for damages to the company
in case of improper performance of their duties. The directors of New AB InBev may be liable to it and to third parties for infringement of its articles of association or Belgian company law. Under certain circumstances, directors may be criminally
liable.
Subject to the provisions of and so far as may be admitted under the laws of Belgium, New AB InBev will undertake to indemnify
its directors, officers and employees against any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification by New AB InBev), judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred by any such director, officer and employee in connection with the defense or settlement of any proceeding brought (i) by a third party or (ii) by New AB InBev or by shareholders or other third
parties in the right of New AB InBev. Such indemnification applies if, with respect to the acts or omissions of such director, officer and employee, he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of New AB InBev and, in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. For these purposes, “proceeding” refers to any threatened, pending or completed action
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to which a director, officer or employee is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that he or she was a director or an agent of New AB InBev or of one
of its subsidiaries or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in such capacity.
No determination in any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement or conviction or otherwise shall, of itself, create a presumption that such director, officer or employee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of New AB
InBev and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
5
In addition, New AB InBev has obtained a liability insurance policy that covers all past, present
and future directors and officers of New AB InBev and its subsidiaries, which are those entities in which it holds more than 50% of the voting rights, or of which it can individually, or under a written shareholders’ agreement, appoint the
majority of the board of directors. The insurance covers defense costs and financial damages such directors or officers are legally obliged to pay as a result of any claim against them. A “claim” for these purposes includes all requests
against the directors and officers, including (i) a civil proceeding; (ii) a criminal proceeding; (iii) a formal administrative or regulatory proceeding; and (iv) a written request by a third party.

Item 9. Undertakings
|
(a)
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
|
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
|
|
(i)
|
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
|
provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement.
|
|
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
|
|
|
(3)
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
|
|
(b)
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
8
|
(h)
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person against the registrant in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
|
|
(i)
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
|
|
|
(1)
|
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
|
|
|
(2)
|
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
