NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
Ambev S.A.
(“
Newbev
”) hereby informs its shareholders that Newbev’s Board of Directors approved on this date: (
i
) the preparation of an extraordinary balance sheet dated August 31, 2013; and (
ii
) the distribution of interim dividends, based on the extraordinary balance sheet dated August 31, 2013, to be deducted from the
results
of the current year and attributed to the minimum
mandatory dividend
of the 2013 fiscal year, in the amount of R$0.13 for each Newbev common share, with no
withholding income tax
, pursuant to applicable law.
Due to Newbev’s stock swap merger with Companhia de Bebidas das Américas – Ambev (“
Companhia de Bebidas
”), approved on July 30, 2013 (the “
Stock Swap Merger
”), the shareholders or holders of American Depositary Receipts (“
ADRs

i
) five common shares of Newbev for each outstanding common or preferred share of Companhia de Bebidas; and (
ii
) five ADRs of Newbev for each ADR of Companhia de Bebidas representing one Companhia de Bebidas common or preferred share.
Nevertheless, as Newbev’s request of publicly-held company registration is still under analysis by the Brazilian Securities Commission (“
CVM
”), Companhia de Bebidas’ shares and ADRs are still traded on the São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange (
BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros
) and the New York Stock Exchange. Therefore, the dividends to be paid by Newbev as per this notice to shareholders will be attributed to such shares and ADRs of Companhia de Bebidas considering the proportion of the exchange ratio mentioned above, and as per the applicable provisions of Newbev By-laws.
In this regard, each common or preferred share of Companhia de Bebidas currently traded on the
São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange
and each ADR of Companhia de Bebidas,
representing one common or preferred share of Companhia de Bebidas,
traded on the
New York Stock Exchange,
is entitled to receive R$0.65 as dividends, with no
withholding income tax
, pursuant to the applicable law.
Such payment will be made as from September 27, 2013 (
ad referendum
of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting relating to the 2013 fiscal year), considering the shareholding on and including September 13, 2013, with respect to the São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange, and September 18, 2013, with respect to
the
New York Stock Exchange, without any monetary adjustment. The shares and ADRs shall be traded
ex-dividends
as from and including September 16, 2013.
