Notice of Currency Exchange Rate
Dividend No. 30
AB InBev shareholders are referred to the announcement published on the Stock Exchange News Service of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") ("SENS") on Thursday, 24 February 2022 and are advised that the final dividend of €0.50 per share (the "Dividend") proposed by the board of directors of AB InBev was approved by AB InBev shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on Wednesday, 27 April 2022.
The exchange rate applicable for the conversion of Euro to SA Rand for the Dividend will be €1.00 to ZAR 16.8257311, as calculated at the close of business on Thursday, 28 April 2022. Accordingly, the gross amount of the Dividend is 841.28656 SA cents per share and will be subject to a Belgian Withholding Tax of 30% (equalling 252.38597 SA cents per share) which will be withheld from the gross Dividend paid to shareholders.
After the Belgian Withholding Tax has been withheld, the net Dividend will be 588.90059 SA cents per share. This withholding tax is reduced to 15% in terms of the double tax treaty in force between Belgium and South Africa. A rebate of the additional Belgian Withholding Tax of 15% which is withheld in Belgium must be claimed by SA shareholders in accordance with the relevant reimbursement process noted in the announcement published on SENS on Thursday, 24 February 2022.
The Dividend may also be subject to SA Dividends Tax at the rate of 20%, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption. Any shareholder that receives a Dividend which is subject to SA Dividends Tax (i.e. where no exemption is available) will qualify for a 15% rebate from SA Dividends Tax, being the Belgian Withholding Tax of 15%.
The ultimate result is that the Dividend will be subject to a reduced Belgian Withholding Tax rate of 15% and subject to SA Dividends Tax at a rate of 5% (unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption from SA Dividends Tax, in which case only Belgian Withholding Tax of 15% will be applicable).
