SABMiller plc was advised on 4 August 2008, that Ogier Trustee (Jersey) Limited,
the Trustee of the SABMiller Employees` Benefit Trust, ("the EBT") had on 4
August 2008 completed, in London, a transaction required to be notified in
accordance with DTR 3.1.2R, namely the acquisition in the market of one million
(1,000,000) SABMiller plc ordinary shares of US$0.10 each at an average price of
GBP10.507604 per share.
This purchase was made to provide the EBT with greater capacity to meet
potential future conditional obligations in respect of restricted shares
conditionally awarded under SABMiller`s Performance Share Award Scheme and its
Sub-Schemes and also to satisfy, upon exercise, stock appreciation rights
awarded under SABMiller`s International Employee Stock Appreciation Rights
Scheme. Following this purchase the EBT`s shareholding in unvested shares
amounts to 5,368,791 ordinary shares, in which certain senior employees,
including the following directors and persons discharging managerial
responsibilities, have an interest as potential beneficiaries: Mr E.A.G. Mackay,
Mr. M.I. Wyman, Mr. M. Bowman, Dr. A.J. Clark, Ms. S.M. Clark, Mr. J. Davidson,
Mr. N.T. Fell, Mr. C.A. van Kralingen, Mr. A. Mervis, Mr. J. Nel, Mr. B.J.K.
