Following the sale of Dutch and Belgian pub real estate to Cofinimmo in October 2007, AB InBev entered into lease agreements with a term of 27 years. Furthermore, the company leases a number of warehouses, trucks, factory facilities and other commercial buildings, which typically run for a period of

five

to ten years. Lease payments are increased annually to reflect market rentals, if applicable. None of the leases include contingent rentals.

to 8 years and part of its own property under operating leases.
