The Tender Offers for the Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 14 September 2020, unless
extended or earlier terminated by the Companies (the “Expiration Date”). Holders must validly tender their
Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date or the Guaranteed Delivery Date pursuant to the Guaranteed
Delivery Procedures.
Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on 14 September
2020, subject to any extension by the Companies, but thereafter will be irrevocable, except in certain limited
circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Companies).
The Settlement Date will promptly follow the Expiration Date and is expected to be 17 September 2020.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders who (i) validly
tender and who do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) deliver a properly
completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documents at or prior
to the Expiration Date and tender their Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the second business day after the Expiration Date pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures, and, subject in each case to the tender in the applicable Minimum Authorized Denominations,
and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by the Companies, will receive the applicable Tender
Consideration described below.
The Tender Consideration payable for each series of Fixed Rate Notes will be a price per $1,000 or €1,000
principal amount of such series of Fixed Rate Notes, as applicable, that is accepted for purchase equal to
an amount, calculated in accordance with the formulas described in the Offer to Purchase, that would
reflect, as of the Settlement Date, a yield to the par call date or maturity date, as applicable, of such series
of Fixed Rate Notes equal to the sum of (i) the Reference Yield for such series, determined at 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time), for USD Fixed Rate Notes, or 3:00 p.m. (London time), for EUR Fixed Rate Notes,
on 14 September 2020 (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, such time and date,
as the same may be extended, the “Price Determination Time”) plus (ii) the fixed spread applicable to such
series, as set forth in the tables above (the “Fixed Spread”), in each case minus the accrued and unpaid
interest on such Notes from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date applicable to
such Notes to, but excluding, the Settlement Date (the “Accrued Coupon Payment”). The “Reference Yield”
means (i) with respect to each series of the USD Fixed Rate Notes, the yield of the reference security listed
in the table for USD Notes above for such series and (ii) with respect to each series of EUR Fixed Rate
Notes, the applicable Interpolated Rate.
With respect to the Par Call Notes, if the Tender Offer Yield as determined in accordance with the Offer to
Purchase is less than the contractual annual rate of interest for the Par Call Notes, then the Tender
Consideration will be calculated based on the par call date; if the Tender Offer Yield as determined in
4
ab-inbev.com
accordance with the Offer to Purchase is higher than or equal to the contractual annual rate of interest for
the Par Call Notes, then the Tender Consideration for the Par Call Notes will be calculated based on the
maturity date.
The Tender Consideration for the USD Floating Rate Notes accepted for purchase will be $1,015.00 per
$1,000 principal amount and the Tender Consideration for the EUR Floating Rate Notes accepted for
purchase will be €1,007.50 per €1,000 principal amount.
In addition to the applicable Tender Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be
paid the Accrued Coupon Payment. Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes
accepted, including those tendered through the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. No further interest will
be paid to the Holders who tender such Notes, including if a record date for an interest payment on such
Notes has passed before the Settlement Date.
The Tender Offers are not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered or the
consummation of other offers, but are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions
set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they
hold their Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that
holder to be able to participate in the Tender Offers before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offer
to Purchase. The deadlines set by the clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of tender
instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase.
Holders holding EUR Notes directly in the NBB-SSS or through a direct participant of the NBB-SSS (other
than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) must, in order to be eligible to participate in the EUR Tender
Offers in the manner specified in the Offer to Purchase, (i) arrange for the EUR Notes which they wish to
tender to be transferred to an account in either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, and (ii) maintain,
or where relevant, procure, access to an account in either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg through
which such EUR Notes can be traded, and to which both the applicable Tender Consideration and the
applicable Accrued Coupon Payment may be credited by AB InBev.
Holders of EUR Notes who do not have access to an account, as described above, in either Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg (either directly or through a direct participant or other intermediary), or who do
not transfer the EUR Notes which they wish to tender to a direct participant in either clearing system, will
not be able to submit a EUR Tender Instruction (as defined below) to the EUR tender agent and will not be
eligible to participate in the EUR Tender Offers in the manner specified in the Offer to Purchase.

Any Holder of EUR Notes who (i) holds its EUR Notes directly, or through a direct participant of the NBB-
SSS, in an “N account” within the NBB-SSS, (ii) is not eligible, in accordance with Article 4 of the Belgian
Royal Decree of 26 May 1994, to hold its Notes (directly or indirectly) in an “X account” within the NBB-
SSS, and who is therefore unable to transfer the relevant Notes to an account in either Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg and (iii) who is eligible to view the Offer to Purchase and make an investment
decision with respect to the EUR Tender Offers, may contact the EUR tender agent for further information,
