Anheuser-Busch InBev Announces Changes to its Board of Directors

Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI) (NYSE: BUD) today announced that Peter Harf will step down as Chairman of the Board and a member of the Board of Directors in April 2012. Commenting on his decision Mr. Harf said, "I love Anheuser-Busch InBev, one of the truly great consumer goods companies, and will miss all my colleagues there. I am reassuming my role as Executive Chairman of DKMS, the non-profit cure blood cancer organization, and my role at Joh. A. Benckiser remains demanding."

Mr. Harf will be succeeded as Chairman of the Board by fellow Board member Kees Storm. Mr. Storm has been a Board member since 2002. Born in 1942, he is a Dutch citizen and received an MA in Business Economics from the University of Rotterdam in 1969. Among others, he is currently Chairman of the Supervisory Board of KLM, a member of the Board of Directors of Baxter International and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Unilever. His interest in improving healthcare has also led him to active involvement with the Amsterdam Cancer Center and the Health Insurance Fund.

Mr. Harf and Mr. Storm will work together closely in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition of the Chairman's responsibilities. Mr. Storm will become Vice-Chairman of the Board with immediate effect.
