The U.S. Department of Justice's
action seeking to block the proposed combination between AB InBev BUD and Grupo Modelo is inconsistent with the law, the facts and
the reality of the market place. On 29 June 2012, the companies announced an
agreement under which AB InBev will acquire the remaining stake in Grupo
Modelo that it does not already own. We remain confident in our position, and
we intend to vigorously contest the DOJ's action in federal court. Given
today's development, we no longer expect the deal to close during the first
quarter of 2013. We will comment further once we have reviewed the DOJ filing.
