Whistleblowing Policy<br />
As part of InBev’s Code of Business Conduct - which acts as a guideline for all company business decisions - we place a<br />
strong emphasis on enforcing and reporting of violations or potential violations of the Code. To learn more about the InBev<br />
Code of Business Conduct, please see page 34.<br />
All managers are responsible for the enforcement of and compliance with the Code, including its distribution to ensure that the<br />
employees of InBev have sufficient knowledge of the Code and comply with it adequately.<br />
No manager or individual has the authority to permit any exceptions to the Code. Employees have the possibility to report<br />
violations, or potential violations through internal mechanisms (such as by going to their appropriate line manager), however<br />
should they wish, employees may also use an appointed third party organization, EthicsPoint Inc., which provides InBev<br />
employees with the following further options for reporting :<br />
• Via the Internet - to access a highly secure Internet-based message interface that will immediately notify the General Counsel<br />
Corporate Governance & Compliance and the VP Corporate Audit.<br />
• 24/7 available whistleblowing line - employees may call the toll free line to speak with a live operator who is a compliance<br />
specialist. The line operates 24 hours a day/seven days a week and also has translation services available at all times.<br />
Subject to potential legal requirements, the identity of an employee reporting alleged violations will be kept confidential.<br />
Employees will not be subject to retaliation or penalties of any kind for reporting in good faith a suspected violation to InBev.<br />
