Amendments to the

$300,000,000 of 6.625% Guaranteed Notes due August 15, 2033 (the "Notes")

Rule 144A Note CUSIP No. 78572MAA3 / ISIN US78572MAA36

Regulation S Note CUSIP No. G77395AA2 / ISIN USG77395AA27

 

 

On 4 August 2016, SABMiller plc 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 (the "Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement"), as amended, between the Company, MillerCoors LLC (the "US Guarantor"), SABMiller Holdings Inc. (the "Successor US Guarantor") and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal Agent, pursuant to which the Notes were issued and the terms and conditions of the Notes.

 

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 the Company, the US Guarantor, the Successor US Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon entered into a supplemental fiscal and paying agency agreement on 12 August 2016, upon which the proposed amendments became effective. The proposed amendments to the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Notes, among other things, (1) designated the Successor US Guarantor as the "US Guarantor" under the Notes and released MillerCoors LLC from its additional amounts guarantee, and (2) added a covenant to the terms and conditions of the Notes requiring the Company to take commercially reasonable efforts to register the Notes under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within six months of the date on which the ABI Transaction (as defined in the Solicitation Statement) is consummated (as determined in the sole discretion of the Company).
