Senior Management Changes

Tony van Kralingen, Group Director of Integrated Supply and Human Resources, and a member of the group's executive committee, intends to retire from SABMiller at the end of December 2015.

Tony, 57, joined the group in South Africa in 1982 and has held a number of senior positions, including Operations Director, and Marketing Director at SAB Ltd, Chairman and Managing Director of Plzenský Prazdroj a.s., the brewer of Pilsner Urquell, in the Czech Republic from 1999 to 2003, and Chairman and Managing Director of SAB Ltd from 2003 to 2008, before relocating to the UK in his current position, where he is responsible for Group Procurement, Technical and R&D, and Human Resources.

Alan Clark, Chief Executive, said: "I must express my sincere gratitude to Tony for 33 years of outstanding contribution to SABMiller, and in particular for the past 12 years, in which he has served with distinction as a member of SABMiller's Executive Committee. His remit has expanded significantly at times of significant challenge for the organisation. His leadership of technical, brewing, procurement, distribution and planning and of the HR function have broken new ground and significantly enhanced the value, standards, capabilities and competitiveness of our business. He will be a loss to the group, but I fully respect his wish to retire at this point. He leaves a fantastic legacy and will remain a true friend."

Tony van Kralingen said: "SAB and SABMiller have been like an extended family to me for over three decades. I have made many enduring friendships and have been provided with many wonderful opportunities and challenges during a time of pioneering growth. SABMiller is a world-class business with a great future. I hope that as a temporary custodian of those businesses and functions which I've had the honour to lead, I have left them in good shape for the next phase of SABMiller's transformation and growth."

Chief Executive Alan Clark intends to split Tony's remit into two new positions on SABMiller's Executive Committee. International searches have been commissioned for both roles: Director, Integrated Supply; and Director, Human Resources.
