On 12 May 2010, Heineken International acquired an additional interest in Commonwealth Brewery Limited (CBL) of 47 per cent ant
Burns House Limited (BHL) of 60 per centincreasing its ownership to 100 per cent in both entities. Before this acquisition, Heinek<
International already had control in CBL BHL. On 17 November 2010, Heineken International acquired an additional 5 per cent
interest in Brasseries et Limonaderies du Rwanda S.A., increasing its ownership to 75 per centDuring the year, several other
non-controlling interests were bought out, which is regular business practice within the Heineken Group. The cash paid for all the
acquired non-controlling interests during 2010 amounts to EUR92 million, decreased our non-controlling interests by EUR34 million
and resulted in a net decrease of our retained earnings of ELIR58 million.
Due to non-disclosure agreements, Heineken cannot provide the consideration paid on an individual level. Considering the overall
amounts disclosed above we deem these to be individually as well as aggregated to be immaterial in nature.
