SABMiller plc
SABMiller plc was advised on 30 September 2008, that Ogier Trustee (Jersey)
Limited, the Trustee of the SABMiller Employees` Benefit Trust, ("the EBT") had
on 30 September 2008 completed, in London, a transaction required to be notified
in accordance with DTR 3.1.2R, namely the acquisition in the market of five
hundred thousand (500,000) SABMiller plc ordinary shares of US$0.10 each at an
average price of GBP10.676791 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 5,857,945 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. N. J. Adami, 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 and Mr.
B.J.K. Smith.
