 ARTICLE II 

6.500% Senior Notes due 2018 

SECTION 2.01    Creation of Series; Establishment of Form. 

(a)    There is hereby established a new series of Securities under the Indenture entitled “6.500% Notes due
2018”. 
 (b)    The form of the Notes, including the form of the certificate of authentication, is attached hereto
as Exhibit A. 
 (c)    The Company shall issue the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of USD ●. The
Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes in accordance with Sections 301 and 901 of the Indenture. Any such additional Notes subsequently issued shall rank equally and ratably
with the Notes in all respects (except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further Notes), so that such further Notes shall
be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes, provided that either (i) such additional Notes are fungible with the Notes of such series offered hereby for
U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. 
 (d)    The Notes
shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global securities, without coupons, registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary (each, a “Global Security”) and deposited with the Trustee,
as custodian for the Depositary. Any proposed transfer of an interest in the Notes shall consist of a transfer within a Global Security and shall be effected through the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary.

(e)    The Notes shall not have a sinking fund. 

(f)    The stated maturity of the principal of the Notes shall be July 15, 2018 (the “Stated Maturity”).

 (g)    The outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 6.500% per annum, as
provided in Section 2.03. 
 (h)    The Notes shall be issued in denominations of USD 1,000 in principal amount and
integral multiples of USD 1,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 - 5 - 








 (i)    The Notes shall be subject to both Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
in accordance with the Indenture. 
 (j)    The Notes shall be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank
equally with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company. 
 SECTION
2.02    Guarantee. Subject to the terms and applicable limitations set forth in the Indenture and the form of Notes, the Notes shall be jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the
Guarantors as to all payments due on the Notes whether at their Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Guarantees and the Indenture. In the case of the failure of the Company to
pay punctually any principal, premium or interest on the Notes, the Guarantors shall cause any such payment to be made as it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise. The Guarantees
shall be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors and rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors that is currently outstanding or that they may issue in the future.

SECTION 2.03    Interest. The Notes shall bear interest at a rate equal to 6.500% per annum, and computed on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months. Interest on the Notes will accrue from July 15, 2016 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may
be. Interest is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), subject to deferral of such payment in accordance with the definition of “Business
Day” contained in Section 1.01 hereof, commencing January 15, 2017 to the Person in whose name the Notes were registered at the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date until the principal thereof is paid or made available
for payment. 
 SECTION 2.04    Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts. Payments of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments on Notes represented by a Global
Security shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Depositary or its nominee, as the Holder of the Global Security. Initially, the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes will be The Bank of New York
Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in St. Louis, Missouri. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. Payments of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder thereof; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal and
premium, if any, such Global Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 

  
 - 6 - 








 SECTION 2.05    Optional Redemption.  
 (a)    The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes as a
whole or in part at any time and from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, as provided in Section 1104 of the Indenture. The redemption price will be calculated by the Independent Investment
Banker, and will be equal to the greater of: 
 (i)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 

(ii)    the sum of the present values of the applicable Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to the date of the
redemption (the “Redemption Date”) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months or in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed) at the
Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points with respect to the Note, together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. 

(b)    Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary) to the Holders of the Notes being redeemed (the date on which such notice is given to be termed a “Redemption Notice Date”). 

(c)    Unless the Company (and/or a Guarantor) defaults on payment of the redemption price, from and after the Redemption
Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in the Indenture) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. 

(d)    If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than sixty (60) days prior to
the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, subject to the applicable
procedures of the Depositary. 
 SECTION 2.06    Optional Tax Redemption. 

(a)    The Company may, at the Company’s or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Notes in whole but not in
part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more 

  
 - 7 - 








 
than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being
redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is
incorporated, organized or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration of any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings
(including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after the Date of the Registration Statement (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Company or, if a
payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided,
however, that the Notes may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the Company assigning its obligations under the Notes to a Substitute Company (as defined in Section 801 of the Indenture), unless such
assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 
 (b)    Prior to
the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 2.06, the Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the relevant
Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law. 
 (c)    No
notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 2.06 may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes
were then due.

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 
  

	 	1.	Securities and Indenture 

 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities
of the Company (payable in U.S. dollars) (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of ●, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the
First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of ● (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case among the Company, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, as Parent
Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto from time to time and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture),
and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which
the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
  

	 	2.	Series and Denomination 

 This Security is one of the series designated on the face
hereof, initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of USD ●, except as provided in the Indenture. References herein to “this series” mean the series of securities designated on the face hereof. Except as provided in the
preceding paragraph, references herein to the “Securities” means (unless the context otherwise requires) the Securities of this series and includes any other securities issued, as provided in the Indenture and forming a single
series with the Securities of this series, provided that either (i) such additional Securities are fungible with the Securities of such series offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) such additional Securities shall have a
separate CUSIP number. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of USD 1,000 in principal
amount and integral multiples of USD 1,000 in excess thereof. 
  

	 	3.	Redemption at the Company’s Option 

 The Company may, at its option, redeem the
Securities of this series as a whole or in part at any time and from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice. The redemption price will be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker, and will
be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the applicable Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months or in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points; plus, in
each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. 

  
 A-5 








 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
  

	 	4.	Optional Tax Redemption 

 The Company may, at the Company’s or the Parent
Guarantor’s option, redeem the Securities of this series in whole, but not in part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities
of this series then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws,
treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the
interpretation, application or administration of any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after the Date of the Prospectus Supplement
(any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Company or, if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by
the Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that the Securities of this series may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the Company
assigning its obligations under the Securities of this series to a Substitute Company, unless such assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. 

Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section, the Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee
an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the relevant Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law. 

No notice of redemption pursuant to this Section may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or
the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities of this series were then due. 
  

	 	5.	Additional Amounts 

 In the event that any Guarantor becomes obligated to make payments
in respect of the Securities of this series, such Guarantor will make all payments in respect of the Securities of this series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or
levied by way of withholding or deduction at source by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Guarantor is incorporated, organized or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any


  
 A-6 








 
authority thereof or therein having power to tax (the “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, such Guarantor
will pay to the Holders of the Securities of this series such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders, after such withholding or deduction, shall
equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would otherwise have been receivable in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on account of any taxes or duties which: 

(a)    are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of such Holder, or
otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by such Guarantor from payment of principal or interest made by it, or 

(b)    are payable by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner having, or having had, some personal or
business connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and not merely by reason of the fact that payments in respect of the Securities of this series or the Guarantees thereof are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from
sources in, or are secured in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or 
 (c)    are imposed or withheld by
reason of the failure of such Holder or beneficial owner to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of the Holder and beneficial owner or to make any valid or timely
declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirements relating to such matters, whether required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice, as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate
of withholding or deduction of, such taxes, or 
 (d)    consist of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales,
excise, transfer, personal property or similar taxes, or 
 (e)    are imposed on or with respect to any
payment by the applicable Guarantor to the registered Holder of this Security if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that taxes would not have been imposed on
such payment had such registered Holder been the sole beneficial owner of this Security, or 
 (f)    are
deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union directive or regulation concerning the taxation of interest income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding relating to such taxation and to which the Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction or the European Union is a party, or (iii) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such directive, regulation, treaty or understanding, or 

  
 A-7 








 (g)    are payable by reason of a change in law or practice
that becomes effective more than thirty (30) days after the relevant payment of principal or interest becomes due, or is duly provided for and written notice thereof is provided to the Holders, whichever occurs later, or 

(h)    are payable because this Security was presented to a particular paying agent for payment if this
Security could have been presented to another paying agent without any such withholding or deduction, or 

(i)    are payable for any combination of (a) through (h) above. 

References to principal or interest in respect of the Securities of this series shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts which may be
payable as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The covenant regarding Additional Amounts shall not apply to any Guarantor at any time when such
Guarantor is incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, and will apply to the Company any time it is incorporated in a jurisdiction outside of the United States. 

In addition, any amounts to be paid by the Company or any Guarantor on the Securities of this series will be paid net of any deduction or
withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any current or future regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to
Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such
Sections of the Code (“FATCA Withholding”). Neither any Guarantor nor the Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding. 

 

	 	6.	Transfer and Exchange 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and
interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 A-8 








 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to
due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

 

	 	7.	Limitation on Suits 

 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made a written request to the
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity and/or security, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this
series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security. The foregoing shall
not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

 

	 	8.	Amendment, Modification and Waiver

therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company or the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding (irrespective of series) that are to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such 

  
 A-9 








 
series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
  

	 	9.	Defeasance 

 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of certain
restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
