Thursday 20. March 2008 - InBev's Board of Directors today announced the nomination of Stéfan Descheemaeker as a non-executive Director. He will replace Allan Chapin who will be retiring from the Board on 29 April. The confirmation of Mr. Descheemaeker as Director is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the next annual shareholders meeting to be held on 29 April 2008.

Stéfan Descheemaeker is a Belgian citizen and holds a degree in Commercial Engineering from the Solvay Business School.
