A MESSAGE FOR ANHEUSER-BUSCH EMPLOYEES:

InBev and Anheuser-Busch are combining to create the global leader in the beer industry and one of the world’s top five consumer products companies.

Let us highlight a few of the many reasons why we are so excited about this combination and the opportunities it will bring to the employees, consumers, wholesalers, business partners and shareholders of both companies and the communities we serve.

	1)		Global market leadership – Together, Anheuser-Busch and InBev will create the global leader in the beer industry and one of the world’s top five consumer products companies. Bringing together two industry champions with market leading brands will translate into significant top-line growth, which ultimately will lead to enhanced career opportunities for employees of both companies. The combined company will have a physical presence in more than thirty markets and will be a stronger and more competitive player in the global and U.S. beer industry.
	2)		Enhanced diversity of geographic footprint – The combined company will benefit from having a more diversified and balanced geographic footprint, with leadership positions in developed beer markets such as the U.S. and Canada and high growth, developing markets such as China and Brazil. This diversity lends itself to an ideal balance of growth and stability.
			Given the very limited overlap between the Anheuser-Busch and InBev businesses and the efficiency of the Anheuser-Busch brewery footprint in the U.S., all U.S. breweries will remain open. In addition, St. Louis will become the headquarters of the combined company’s North American region and the global home of the flagship Budweiser brand.
	3)		Strengthening our world-leading brands – The combination of Anheuser-Busch and InBev will bring together a portfolio of global leading brands, including Stella Artois, Beck’s, and Budweiser. Our successful collaboration in Canada, South Korea and more recently, the U.S., gives us confidence that we will achieve more together than would be possible apart.
			We see significant opportunities to internationalize Budweiser by leveraging our expansive international footprint and bringing the brand to new consumers around the world. InBev currently produces Budweiser for Anheuser-Busch in Canada and we have a track record with respect to quality and growth. Under this arrangement, sales of the Anheuser-Busch brands in Canada have grown at an average annual growth rate of 7.2%, making it the number one beer brand in Canada.
			Many Anheuser-Busch wholesalers have already added InBev’s European premium imports to their portfolio through our distribution agreement, and we believe there will be significant further growth potential for our brands in the U.S. through a combination with Anheuser-Busch.
	4)		Bringing together best practices and common values – While some may try to draw contrasts between our companies and our cultures, we believe we share many more

similarities than differences. Both Anheuser-Busch and InBev come from long brewing traditions (in fact, InBev’s dates back to 1366); we are both dedicated to the highest quality of our products; and we are both fully committed to investing in, and growing our brands. In addition, we will bring together the best of both companies’ commitments to people, community and the environment into a global platform, a meaningful step forward in our goal of becoming the best beer company in a better world.

We also share a passion for our people. InBev is an internationally recognized employer of choice that prides itself on attracting, developing and retaining talented individuals from around the world. InBev is combining with Anheuser-Busch because we have tremendous admiration for its brands and business, and immense respect for the hard work and dedication of Anheuser-Busch’s employees.

We believe this compelling and extraordinary combination is the natural next step for both of our companies given the complementary nature of our businesses. InBev has a strong track record of successfully completing and integrating acquisitions, and we believe we can successfully work together to combine our two great companies in a way that benefits all key stakeholders.

The new company will be named Anheuser-Busch InBev to evoke Anheuser-Busch’s heritage and the strength of Anheuser-Busch’s iconic brands. As we already mentioned, St. Louis will become the headquarters for the North American region and the global home of the flagship Budweiser brand for the combined company. We understand how much Anheuser-Busch means to the St. Louis community, and with 40% of the combined company’s business based in the U.S., we believe that the only logical decision is to stay in St. Louis. InBev intends to build on Anheuser-Busch’s reputation as a high quality employer and a responsible corporate citizen and looks forward to participating as an active and important member of the St. Louis community.

In combining InBev and Anheuser-Busch, we will seek to draw on the complementary strengths, talent and rich histories of both companies. We will mutually share best practices around the world and build our management team and workforce to reflect the diversity of the markets in which we operate. We will count on the experience of Anheuser-Busch employees and your knowledge of the U.S. market to naturally complement InBev’s experience and knowledge of international markets. InBev has a strong reputation of working together with its employees across a variety of cultures and creating opportunities for employees regardless of nationality or geographic location.

We invite you to learn more about our combination, as well as about InBev and our brands, on this website. We will also keep this site up-to-date with all of our latest communications.

In summary, InBev is combining with Anheuser-Busch because we have tremendous admiration for its brands, its business and its employees. Together, we will create a stronger, more competitive, sustainable global company which will benefit all stakeholders and revolutionize the beer industry.

A MESSAGE FOR ANHEUSER-BUSCH WHOLESALERS:

We are combining with Anheuser-Busch to create the global leader in the beer industry and one of the world’s top five consumer products companies. We are extremely excited about the opportunities this combination will bring to both companies’ employees, consumers, wholesalers, business partners, shareholders and the communities we serve.

We are strong believers in the three tier system and have tremendous respect for you and the entire Anheuser-Busch wholesaler network. In fact, the strength of the U.S. distribution network and relationships with the wholesalers is an important part of the rationale for this transaction. Your knowledge of and experience with the U.S. market will play an integral role in the success of the combined company going forward. We believe that the U.S. is one of the most important markets in the brewing industry and will play a critical role in the future growth of Anheuser-Busch InBev.

The compelling combination of Anheuser-Busch and InBev is a natural next step for both companies given the complementary nature of our respective businesses and the successful distribution partnerships we already enjoy across the world.

Our track record of successful collaboration with Anheuser-Busch in the U.S., Canada and South Korea gives us confidence that, together, we can achieve more than would be possible apart. Since January 2007, many Anheuser-Busch wholesalers have been entrusted with InBev’s European premium import brands such as Stella Artois, Beck’s and Bass, which complement the existing portfolio of Anheuser-Busch brands. In Canada, our successful partnership with Anheuser-Busch spanning almost 30 years has resulted in Budweiser becoming the number one beer in Canada.

InBev has great admiration for the Budweiser brand. We will make it the combined company’s global flagship brand and will invest in Budweiser and other Anheuser-Busch brands to support their growth. InBev is also committed to maintaining the highest quality of its products and will ensure that the taste and quality of Anheuser-Busch brands remain unchanged.

We believe that an InBev/Anheuser-Busch combination will create a stronger competitor in the changing and more challenging landscape of the U.S. beer industry. We are very excited about the opportunities this combination will bring to Anheuser-Busch’s wholesalers, and look forward to working with you to grow both existing and new brands.

In terms of next steps, the transaction is subject to both InBev and Anheuser-Busch shareholder approvals and other customary regulatory approvals. In light of the limited overlap between the two companies’ businesses, the combination should not encounter any significant regulatory issues and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

We strongly believe that the combination of InBev and Anheuser-Busch will create a stronger, more competitive, sustainable global company to the benefit of all stakeholders.

All the best,

Brito

Chief Executive Officer, InBev

InBev and Anheuser-Busch Agree to Combine,
Creating the Global Leader in Beer with Budweiser as
its Flagship Brand

InBev (Euronext: INB) and Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD) today announced an agreement to combine the two companies, forming the world’s leading global brewer. Anheuser-Busch shareholders will receive $70 per share in cash, for an aggregate equity value of $52 billion, in an industry-transforming transaction. The combined company will be called Anheuser-Busch InBev. Both companies’ Boards of Directors have unanimously approved the transaction. InBev has committed financing for the purchase of all of Anheuser-Busch’s outstanding shares.

The combination of Anheuser-Busch and InBev will create the global leader in the beer industry and one of the world’s top five consumer products companies. On a pro-forma basis for 2007, the combined company would have generated global volumes of 460 million hectoliters, revenues of $36.4 billion (€26.6 billion) and EBITDA of $10.7 billion (€7.8 billion). Anheuser-Busch and InBev together believe that this transaction is in the best interests of both companies’ shareholders, consumers, employees, wholesalers, business partners and the communities they serve.

The company will make St. Louis, Missouri the headquarters for the North American region and the global home of the flagship Budweiser brand. With about 40% of the combined company’s revenues to be generated in the U.S., the company will draw on the collective expertise of Anheuser-Busch’s dedicated and experienced employees and its culture of quality. Given the limited geographical overlap between the two businesses and the efficiency of Anheuser-Busch’s brewery footprint in the United States, all of Anheuser-Busch’s U.S. breweries will remain open.

InBev CEO Carlos Brito will be chief executive officer of the combined company. The Board of Directors of the combined company will be comprised of the existing

directors of the InBev Board, Anheuser-Busch President and CEO August Busch IV and one other current or former director from the Anheuser-Busch Board. In addition, the combined company’s management team will draw from key members of both InBev’s and Anheuser-Busch’s current leadership. Anheuser-Busch will become a wholly owned subsidiary of InBev upon the completion of this transaction.

The expanded company will be geographically diversified, with leading positions in the world’s top five markets – China, U.S., Russia, Brazil and Germany – and balanced exposure to developed and developing markets. A combination of Anheuser-Busch and InBev will result in significant growth opportunities from leveraging the companies’ combined brand portfolio, including the global flagship Budweiser brand and international market leaders such as Stella Artois and Beck’s, maximizing the combination’s unparalleled global distribution network and applying best practices across the new organization. Budweiser and Bud Light are the largest selling beers in the world, and the combined company will have an unmatched portfolio of imports, local premiums and local core brands.

Carlos Brito, CEO of InBev, said, “We are very pleased to announce this historic transaction today, bringing together two great companies that share a rich history of brewing traditions. We are extremely excited about the opportunities that this combination will create for consumers worldwide, as well as our shareholders, employees, business partners and wholesalers. Together, Anheuser-Busch and InBev will be able to accomplish much more than each can on its own. We have been successful business partners for quite some time, and this is the natural next step for us in an increasingly competitive global environment. This combination will create a stronger, more competitive global company with an unrivaled worldwide brand portfolio and distribution network, with great potential for growth all over the world.”

August Busch IV, Anheuser-Busch President and CEO, stated, “Today’s announcement brings new opportunities for Anheuser-Busch and its business, brands and employees. This agreement provides additional and certain value for Anheuser-Busch shareholders, while enhancing global market access for Budweiser, one of America’s true iconic brands. We will leverage our collective strengths to create a truly diversified, global company to sustain long-term growth and profitability. In the United States and Canada, both InBev and Anheuser-Busch have seen significant benefits from our existing relationship and we look forward to replicating this success in other parts of the world.”

As a consumer of Budweiser or other Anheuser-Busch products, you can be sure that you are going to get the same fresh beer, brewed at the same U.S. breweries, by the same brewers – exactly the way you have come to expect.

We are extremely excited to grow the Budweiser brand and plan to unleash it globally and increase its availability in major markets. We want to introduce new consumers around the world to Budweiser so they too can taste and enjoy what you and millions of others have enjoyed for over 100 years.
