Capital management
There were no major changes in HEINEKEN's approach to capital management during the year. The Executive Board's policy is to maintain a strong
capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of business and acquisitions. Capital is
herein defined as equity attributable to equity holders of the Company (total equity minus non-controlling interests).
HEINEKEN is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements other than the legal reserves explained in note 22. Shares are purchased to meet
the requirements under the Long and Short-Term Incentive Plan and the extraordinary share plan as further explained in note 29.
