SABMiller plc on August 20, 2010 announced the commencement of a consent solicitation relating to the Notes as described in a solicitation statement (the "Solicitation Statement") issued to holders of the Notes on that day. The Company sought a consent to certain amendments and waivers in respect of the fiscal and paying agency agreement between the Company, MillerCoors LLC (the "US Guarantor") and The Bank of New York Mellon as Fiscal Agent as amended pursuant to which the Notes were issued and to the guarantee by the US Guarantor in relation thereto.

 

Valid consents were delivered and not revoked in respect of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding thereby approving the proposed amendments and waivers and the Company, the US Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon entered into a supplemental fiscal and paying agency agreement on September 10, 2010 giving effect to the amendments and waivers. The supplemental fiscal and paying agency agreement amended the previous fiscal and paying agency agreement, the terms and conditions of the Notes and the guarantee given by the US Guarantor to reflect the approved consents a) to release the US Guarantor from its guarantee of payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, b) to amend the both the cross acceleration threshold for present and future indebtedness, currently $20,000,000, and the threshold for events of defaults relating to a distress, attachment, execution or other legal process on the property of the Company, currently $50,000,000, to $125,000,000 and c) to consent to certain other procedural amendments.
