Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 27, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2008 Officer Bonus Program (the “Program”) in accordance with the Anheuser-Busch Officer Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) for certain officers of the Company, Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated, and Busch Entertainment Corporation.  Under the Program and consistent with the objectives of the Plan, participants may receive cash bonuses if certain performance goals are satisfied for the 2008 calendar year performance period.

The Compensation Committee established a bonus pool, a minimum performance goal, and a bonus formula for the Program, each of which is based on the Company’s adjusted pretax income for 2008.  The aggregate amount of bonuses, or the bonus pool, for 2008 will not exceed 1.5% of the Company’s adjusted pretax income for 2008.  The performance goal under the Program is the achievement by the Company in 2008 of 75% of the 2007 adjusted pretax income.  A portion of the bonus will be determined on a formula basis reflecting the Company’s actual operating profit compared to the 2008 budgeted operating profit as approved by the Board of Directors. The remaining portion of the bonus will be determined by the Compensation Committee on the basis of its overall assessment of the performance and responsibilities of the participant.  Subject to plan limitations, the maximum bonuses payable under the Program to 9 senior executive officers of the Company, Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated, and Busch Entertainment Corporation range from 5% to 24% of the bonus pool, represent in the aggregate 74% of the bonus pool, and will be payable only if the performance goal is achieved.  Bonuses payable under the Program to the remaining participants will not exceed 26% of the bonus pool (or a higher percentage if the Compensation Committee reduces the bonuses payable to such nine senior executive officers).

The Program will be filed as an exhibit to Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

SECTION 2:1. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation shall be held at 10:00 o'clock a.m. on the fourth Wednesday in April of each year if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday then on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday. The purpose of the meeting shall be to elect directors and to transact such other business as properly may be brought before the meeting. If the corporation shall fail to hold said meeting for the election of directors on the date aforesaid, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held by the stockholders as soon thereafter as convenient.

Business to be Conducted at Annual Meeting.

SECTION 2:2.1 At an annual meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting (i) pursuant to the corporation's notice of the meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly organized committee thereof), or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record on the date of giving of the notice provided for in this Bylaw and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw.

SECTION 2:2.2 In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary which notice is not withdrawn by such stockholder at or prior to such annual meeting.

SECTION 2:2.3 To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation, not less than ninety days nor more than one hundred twenty days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the meeting is changed by more than thirty days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made.

SECTION 2:2.4 To be in proper written form, such stockholder's notice must set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) the class and the number of shares of the corporation's stock which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iv) any material interest of the stockholder, and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, in such business; and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

The chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw; and if the chairman should so determine, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting, and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw.

Special Meetings.

SECTION 2:3. 1 At any time the Chief Executive Officer may, and either the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary at the written request of any five members of the Board of Directors shall, issue a call for a special meeting of the stockholders. Such request call shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting, and at such special meeting only such matters as may be specified in the call therefor shall be considered.

SECTION 2:3.2  A special meeting of stockholders shall be called by the Board of Directors upon written request (“Request”) to the Secretary of record holders of at least 25% of the outstanding common stock of the corporation.

(a)  The Request for a special meeting of stockholders shall be signed by each stockholder of record, or duly authorized agent, requesting the special meeting and must set forth:  (i) a statement of the specific purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at the meeting and any material interest in such business of the stockholders requesting the meeting (or of the  beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Request is made); (ii) the name and address of each such stockholder as they appear on the corporation’s stock ledger; and (iii) the number of shares of the corporation’ s common stock owned of record and beneficially by each such stockholder (or beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Request is made).  A stockholder executing the Request may revoke its request at any time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary, any such revocation shall be effective when received and such stockholder shall be deemed not to have joined in the Request .  

(b)  A special meeting so requested by stockholders shall be held at the date, time and place as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, but not later than 90 days after receipt of the Request.

(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors need not call a special meeting of stockholders, if (i) the Board of Directors has already called or calls an annual meeting of stockholders and the purpose of the annual meeting includes the purpose specified in the Request or (ii) the purpose specified in the Request  is not the election of directors and the corporation held an annual or special meeting of stockholders during the 12 months preceding  receipt of the Request, the purposes of which  meeting included the purpose specified in the Request.

SECTION 2:3.3 Only such business may be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as has been stated in the corporation’s notice for such meeting.

Place of Meetings.

SECTION 2:4. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the corporation, or at such other place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be determined by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

The notice of a stockholders' meeting shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, addressed to each stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

2

Quorum and Voting.

SECTION 2:6.1 The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares (exclusive of treasury stock) entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, when present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws; but in the absence of such a quorum the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting shall have the right successively to adjourn the meeting to a specified date. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

SECTION 2:6.2 The absence from any meeting of the number of shares required by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws for action upon one matter shall not prevent action at such meeting upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if the number of shares required in respect of such other matters shall be present.

SECTION 2:6.3 When a quorum is present at any meeting of the stockholders, the vote of the holders (present in person or represented by proxy) of a majority of the shares of stock which are actually voted (and have the power to vote) on any proposition or question properly brought to a vote at such meeting shall decide any such proposition or question, unless the proposition or question is one upon which by express provision of statute or of the Certificate of Incorporation, or of these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and establish the number of votes required to determine such proposition or question.

Voting; Proxy.

SECTION 2:7.1 Whenever the law requires or the chairman orders that a vote be taken by ballot, each stockholder entitled to vote on a particular question at a meeting of stockholders, pursuant to law or the Certificate of Incorporation, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of voting stock held by such stockholder. The date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall be determined pursuant to Section 6:9.

SECTION 2:7.2 Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy; but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.

Voting by Fiduciaries, Pledgee and Pledgors.

SECTION 2:8. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the corporation the pledgor has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee or the pledgee's proxy may represent such stock and vote thereon.

3

If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:

(a) If only one votes, that person's act binds all;

(b) If more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds all;

(c) If more than one vote, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or any person voting the shares, or a beneficiary, if any, may apply to the Court of Chancery or such other court as may have jurisdiction to appoint an additional person to act with the persons so voting the shares, which shall then be voted as determined by a majority of such persons and the person appointed by the Court. If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or even-split for the purpose of this subsection shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

Nomination of Directors.

SECTION 2:9.1 Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation, except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation with respect to the right of holders of preferred stock of the corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of directors in certain circumstances. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (ii) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Bylaw and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw.

SECTION 2:9.2 In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

SECTION 2:9.3 To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than ninety days nor more than one hundred twenty days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever occurs first, and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

4

SECTION 2:9.4 To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (C) the class or series and the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (D) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice or the beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, (A) the name and address of such stockholder as they appear on the corporation's books, (B) the class or series and the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation beneficially owned by such stockholder or beneficial owner, (C) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder or beneficial owner and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder or beneficial owner, (D) a representation that such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice and (E) any other information relating to such stockholder or beneficial owner that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

SECTION 2:9.5 No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation, at any annual meeting of stockholders or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw. If the chairman of the meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

List of Stockholders.

SECTION 2:10. The Secretary shall prepare and make, or cause to be made, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the election, either at a place within the city where the election is to be held and which place shall be specified in meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held, and (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation.  In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation.  In addition,  the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of election the meeting during the whole time thereof and subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this Bylaw or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.

Appointment of Inspectors of Election and Resolution of Questions Concerning Right to Vote.

SECTION 2:11. The Board of Directors, in advance of the meeting of stockholders or, if it does not act, the chairman of the meeting, shall appoint not less than two persons who are not directors to serve as inspectors of election. It shall be their duty to receive and canvass the votes for election of directors and on any proposal voted on by ballot and to certify the results to the chairman. In all cases where the right to vote upon any share of the corporation shall be questioned, it shall be the duty of the inspectors to examine the stock ledger of the corporation as evidence of the shares held, and all shares that appear

5

standing thereon in the name of any person or persons may be voted upon by such person or persons. Each inspector of election before entering upon the duties of such office shall take and subscribe the following oath before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths:  “I do solemnly swear that I will execute the duties of an inspector of the election now to be held with strict impartiality and according to the best of my ability.”

(b) Regular meetings shall be held at such place within the City or County of St. Louis, Missouri as may be prescribed in the call, provided that any regular meeting may be held elsewhere, either within or without the State of Delaware, pursuant to resolution of the Board of Directors or pursuant to the call of the Chief Executive Officer acting with the consent of a majority of the directors.

The act of a majority of directors who are present at a meeting at which a quorum previously has been established (or at any adjournment of such meeting, provided that a quorum previously shall have been established at such adjourned meeting) shall be the act of the Board of Directors, regardless of whether or not a quorum is present at the time such action is taken. In determining the number of directors who are present at the time any such action is taken (for the purpose of establishing the number of votes required to take action on any proposition or question submitted to the Board), any director who is in attendance at such meeting but who, for just cause, is disqualified to vote on such proposition or question, shall not be considered as being present at the time of such action.
