(the Undertaking)
To:          Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (AB InBev)
 
  5  August 2016
 
Dear Sirs,
 
Acquisition of SABMiller plc (SABMiller)
 
We refer to the irrevocable undertaking entered into between us on 11 November 2015 (the Original Irrevocable).
 
This Undertaking sets out, amongst other things, further undertakings from us in respect of the DB Pledged SABMiller Shares and Relevant Newco Shares in connection with the implementation of the Transaction, and is entered into by us in addition to (and, except as set out in paragraph 23 below, without prejudice whatsoever to) the terms of, and undertakings and obligations contained in, the Original Irrevocable which remains in full force and effect.
 
In this Undertaking, words and expressions have the meanings given to them in paragraph 14 below. Capitalised terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Original Irrevocable (taking into account the agreements contained in the deed dated 26 July 2016 between AB InBev and BEVCO in relation to the Original Irrevocable) or, if not defined herein or therein, in the 11 November Press Announcement (as amended by the 26 July Press Announcement). References to paragraphs shall be to paragraphs in this Undertaking.
 
This Undertaking is entered into by us in consideration of the consents given by AB InBev in accordance with the terms of paragraph 2 below.
 
Shareholdings
 
1.
We represent and warrant that:
 
(a)
we are the beneficial owner of (i) 18,000,000 SABMiller Shares which are currently encumbered in favour of DB pursuant to the Current DB SIA (and which shall also be encumbered in favour of DB pursuant to the New DB SIA); and (ii) a further 10,000,000 SABMiller Shares which shall be encumbered in favour of DB pursuant to the New DB SIA (such shares referred to in (i) and (ii), the DB Pledged SABMiller Shares and each of which a DB Pledged SABMiller Share);
 
(b)
we hold the beneficial interest in the DB Pledged SABMiller Shares free of any encumbrances or third party rights of any kind whatsoever other than the DB Pledge Arrangements;
 
(c)
Security Services Nominees Limited a/c 2078205, administered by BNP Paribas Security Services S.C.A., Jersey Branch is the registered holder of the DB Pledged SABMiller Shares (the Registered Holder);
 
(d)
the DB Pledge Arrangements and the Restated DB Facility Agreement were and/or are being entered into for bona fide commercial reasons and the purpose (whether sole or collateral) of such arrangements is not to avoid the restrictions on transfer in


 
respect of the Restricted Shares (details of which are set out in Appendix 6 of the 11 November Press Announcement) which will be applicable from Completion if Completion occurs;
 
(e)
we do not expect the DB Pledge Arrangements to be enforced or DB (as secured creditor under the DB Pledge Arrangements) or any future secured creditor under the DB Pledge Arrangements to become entitled to exercise any right to enforce the DB Pledge Arrangements;
 
(f)
in respect of the DB Pledged SABMiller Shares, we are able unconditionally to: (i) exercise or procure the exercise of all voting rights pursuant to the terms of this Undertaking; (ii) make (or cause to be made) the elections, acceptances and tenders set out in paragraph 8 of the Original Irrevocable and paragraph 7 of this Undertaking and perform the matters to which they relate; and (iii) give and perform the undertakings in the Original Irrevocable and this Undertaking, in each case free from any restriction, consent, instruction or other requirement other than in circumstances where an Enforcement Action has occurred;
 
(g)
there has not been, and is not currently, a Pledge Enforcement Event or Enforcement Action in respect of the DB Pledged SABMiller Shares;
 
(h)
we have full power and authority to enter into this Undertaking and to perform the obligations under it;
 
(i)
save for the maximum amount of the loan under the Restated DB Facility Agreement, which is being increased on or around the date of this Undertaking in conjunction with the encumbrance in favour of DB of the 10,000,000 DB Pledged SABMiller Shares referred to in paragraph 1(a)(ii) above beneficially owned by us as additional collateral, the Restated DB Facility Agreement is substantially in the form of (and is on substantially the same terms as) the Original DB Facility Agreement in existence at the time the Original Irrevocable was executed; and
 
(j)
the Restated DB Facility Agreement is a bilateral loan facility agreement which contains provisions reasonably customary for this type of a facility and which:
 
(i)
reflects the existence of share collateral and related provisions (primarily consisting of anti-dilution, collateral coverage, dividend and calculation agent provisions);
 
(ii)
comprise events of default, acceleration (including, without limitation, in relation to the giving of notices) and mandatory prepayment events that do not vary or depart in any material respect from the corresponding provisions in the Loan Market Association ‘Senior Multicurrency Term and Revolving Facility Agreement for Leveraged Acquisition Finance Transactions (Senior/Mezzanine)’ except that the Restated DB Facility Agreement:
 
(A)
includes a mandatory prepayment event triggered on the occurrence of a nationalization, insolvency or delisting of SABMiller (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be triggered by the delisting occurring as a part of the Transaction);
 
(B)
includes an event of default for failure to maintain sufficient collateral coverage (after expiration of applicable grace periods); and
2


(C)
does not include certain events of default and mandatory prepayment events that are not relevant for stock-secured term loans of this kind; and
 
(iii)
are:
 
(A)
reasonably necessary to ensure the continuation of the loan under the Restated DB Facility Agreement in the context of: (X) differences between shares in SABMiller, Initial Shares, Restricted Shares and New Ordinary Shares; (Y) the terms of the Original Irrevocable, this Undertaking and the DB Irrevocable; and (Z) the Transaction; and
 
(B)
not intended to increase the likelihood that we would be able to exercise the termination right under paragraph 27(e) of the Original Irrevocable.
