24 July 2014

In our results announcement for the year ended 31 March 2014, published on Thursday, 22 May 2014, SABMiller plc announced that the exchange rates to be used to determine the Sterling and Rand equivalent of the final dividend of 80.0 US cents per share would be calculated using the exchange rates prevailing on Wednesday, 23 July 2014.

The rate of exchange determined on Wednesday, 23 July 2014 for converting to Sterling is GBP:US$ = 1.704777 resulting in an equivalent final dividend of 46.9270 UK pence per share.

The rate of exchange determined on Wednesday, 23 July 2014 for converting to South African Rand is US$:ZAR = 10.553450 resulting in an equivalent final dividend of 844.27600 SA cents per share.

The JSE Listings Requirements require disclosure of additional information in relation to any dividend payments. Shareholders registered on the Johannesburg register are advised that dividend withholding tax will be withheld from the gross final dividend amount of 844.27600 SA cents per share at a rate of 15%, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption; shareholders registered on the Johannesburg register who do not qualify for an exemption will therefore receive a net dividend of 717.63460SA cents per share. The company, as a non‑resident of South Africa, was not subject to the secondary tax on companies (STC) applicable before the introduction of dividend withholding tax on 1 April 2012, and accordingly, no STC credits are available for set-off against the dividend withholding tax liability on the final net dividend amount. The dividend is payable in cash as a 'Dividend' (as defined in the South African Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962, as amended) by way of a reduction of income reserves. The dividend withholding tax and the information contained in this paragraph is only of direct application to shareholders registered on the Johannesburg register, who should direct any questions about the application of the dividend withholding tax to Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited, Tel: +27 11 373-0004.

The dividend will be payable on Friday, 15 August 2014 to all shareholders registered on the London and Johannesburg registers on Friday, 8 August 2014.  The last date to trade cum dividend will be Tuesday, 5 August 2014 on the London Stock Exchange and Friday, 1 August 2014 on the JSE Limited.  The ex-dividend trading dates will be Wednesday, 6 August 2014 on the London Stock Exchange and Monday, 4 August 2014 on the JSE Limited.

Shareholders will be asked to approve this proposal at the annual general meeting scheduled for 11.00am today, Thursday, 24 July 2014.

Until the close of business on Friday, 8 August 2014, no transfers between the London and Johannesburg registers will be permitted, and from Monday, 4 August 2014 until Friday, 8 August 2014, no shares may be dematerialised or rematerialised, both days inclusive.
