During 2022, a limited number of Ambev shareholders who are part of the senior management of AB InBev were given the
opportunity to exchange Ambev shares against a total of 54 thousand AB InBev shares (2021: 3 thousand AB InBev
shares) at a discount of 16.66% provided that they stay in service for another five years. The fair value of this transaction
amounts to 1m US dollar (2021: less than 1m US dollar) and is expensed over the five years' service period. The fair
values of the Ambev and AB InBev shares were determined based on the market price.
BUDWEISER APAC SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Discretionary Restricted Stock Units Plan
In December 2019, Budweiser APAC set up a discretionary RSUs plan which allows for the offer of RSUs to certain
employees in certain specific circumstances, at the discretion of the Board, e.g., as a special retention incentive. The RSUs
vest after three to five years and in the event that an employee's service is terminated before the vesting date, special
forfeiture rules apply. In 2022 and 2021, no RSUs were granted under this program.
Share-Based Compensation Plan
In March 2020, Budweiser APAC set up a program allowing for certain employees to invest some or all of their variable
compensation in Budweiser APAC shares (Voluntary Shares). As an additional reward, employees who invest in Voluntary
Shares also receive a company shares match of three matching shares for each Voluntary Share invested up to a limited
total percentage of each employee's variable compensation. In 2022, Budweiser APAC issued 12.5m matching RSUs in
relation to bonuses granted to Budweiser APAC employees with an estimated fair value of 39m US dollar (2021: 0.1m
matching restricted stock units with an estimated fair value of less than 1m US dollar).
