       Anheuser-Busch InBev announces the Reference Base following
           the pending divestiture of Carlton & United Breweries

      8 October 2019 - Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI) (NYSE: BUD) (MEXBOL: ANB) (JSE: ANH) (“AB
      InBev”) announces the updated 2018 and 1H19 Reference Base for purposes of results announcements
      starting 1 October 2019.

      The Reference Base excludes the results of the Australia business (Carlton & United Breweries). A binding
      sale agreement has been announced for this business, but the transaction has not yet closed. As per IFRS
      rules, the Australia business will be classified as a disposal group held for sale as of 3Q19, and therefore
      its FY18 and YTD19 results will be reported as discontinued operations until the sale is completed.
      In accordance with IFRS rules and for comparative purposes, the Reference Base includes the restated
      results of AB InBev for 1Q18, 2Q18, 3Q18, 4Q18, FY18, 1Q19, 2Q19 and 1H19 as if the Australia business
      had been classified as a disposal group held for sale as of 1 January 2018. The Reference Base includes
      the restated results up to Normalized EBIT.
