Presentation of Brahma’s Form 20-F On July 1, 1999, the Registrant, Companhia Cervejaria Brahma (Brahma), announced a proposed business combination with Companhia Antarctica Paulista Indústria Brasileira de Bebidas e Conexos (Antarctica). The proposed combination involves the formation of Companhia de Bebidas das Américas - AmBev (AmBev), a holding company that would have Brahma and Antarctica as wholly owned subsidiaries. As a result of the proposed combination of Brahma and Antarctica and the formation of AmBev, Brahma’s annual report on Form 20-F contains information about Antarctica. See the description of the combination in “Item 1.—Description of Business—Brahma—Combination of Brahma and Antarctica and the Formation of AmBev”. Currency Presentation and Exchange Rates In this annual report, references to “U.S. dollar”, “U.S. dollars” or “US$” are to United States dollars and references to “real” (singular), “reais” (plural) or “R$” are to the Brazilian legal currency. Unless otherwise stated, or unless the context otherwise requires or implies, all information presented in U.S. dollars in this annual report has been translated at a rate of R$1.7473 to US$1.00, which was the commercial market rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars in effect on March 31, 2000, as disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil (Central Bank). The commercial market rate on May 31, 2000 was R$1.8266 to US$1.00. The U.S. dollar equivalent information presented in this annual report is provided solely for the convenience of the readers of this annual report and should not be construed as implying that the Brazilian currency amounts represent, or could have been or could be converted into, U.S. dollars at such rates or at any rate. There are two principal legal foreign exchange markets in Brazil: the commercial market and the floating market. The commercial market is reserved primarily for foreign trade transactions and transactions that generally require prior approval from the Central Bank, such as payments of and with respect to debt instruments, the purchase and sale of registered investments by foreign persons and related remittances of funds abroad. Exchanges of foreign currency in the commercial market may be carried out only through Brazilian banks authorized by the Central Bank to buy and sell currency in that market. The floating market applies to specified transactions that do not require Central Bank’s express prior approval. Prior to the implementation of the Real Plan in 1994, the commercial market rate and the floating market rate differed significantly at times. Since the introduction of the real, the two rates have not differed significantly, and effective as of February 1, 1999, the Central Bank has unified the two legal exchange rates, while maintaining the regulation for each of the commercial and floating markets. There can be no assurance that there will not be further changes in the applicable regulations, which may result in future significant differences between the two rates. Both the commercial market and floating market rates are freely negotiated but may be influenced by the Central Bank. On July 1, 1994, the real replaced the cruzeiro real as the unit of Brazilian currency, with each real being equal to 2,750 cruzeiros reais. The issuance of reais was initially subject to quantitative limits backed by a corresponding amount of U.S. dollars in reserves, but the Brazilian federal government subsequently expanded those quantitative limits and allowed the real to float, with parity between the [NYCorp;109717 7.2:4739A:07/05/00–4:48p] real and the U.S. dollar (R$1.00 to US$1.00) as a ceiling. On March 6, 1995, the Central Bank announced that it would intervene in the market and buy or sell U.S. dollars, and establish a band within which the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate could fluctuate. The Central Bank initially set the band with a floor of R$0.86 per US$1.00 and a ceiling of R$0.90 per US$1.00 and has reset the band on several occasions. In 1998, for example, the prevailing Central Bank trading band was between R$1.12 and R$1.22 per US$1.00. On January 13, 1999, the Brazilian government expanded the trading band for the real against the U.S. dollar. The trading band was set between R$1.20 and R$1.32 per US$1.00. The real immediately depreciated approximately 8% against the U.S. dollar. On January 15, 1999, the Central Bank temporarily let the exchange rate float freely, a policy Brazilian financial authorities adopted on January 18, 1999. Between late January and mid-March 1999, the real exchange rates were very volatile, reaching the rate of R$2.16 per US$1.00 on March 3, 1999. Since then, the real first appreciated and then gradually depreciated against the U.S. dollar and, as of December 31, 1999, the real exchange rate was R$1.79 per US$1.00, representing a devaluation of 32.4% since January 1, 1999. For further information on the devaluation of the real in 1999, see “Item 9.—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Brahma—Devaluation of the Real in 1999”. We cannot assure you that the real will not devaluate substantially in the near future. The following table sets forth the commercial market rate for the purchase of U.S. dollars for the periods indicated: Exchange Rate of Reais per US$1.00 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 Low .......... R$1.2075 R$1.1165 R$1.0395 R$0.9726 R$0.8340 High .......... 2.2000 1.2087 1.1164 1.0407 0.9728 Average(1) ...... 1.8566 1.1611 1.0787 1.0080 0.9186 Period End ..... 1.7890 1.2087 1.1164 1.0394 0.9725 Source: Central Bank of Brazil (1) Represents the average of the month-end exchange rates during the relevant period. Brazilian law provides that, whenever there is a serious imbalance in Brazil’s balance of payments or serious reasons to expect such an imbalance, temporary restrictions may be imposed on remittances of foreign capital abroad. There can be no assurance that temporary restrictions will not be imposed by the Brazilian government in the future.

  • U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in the Western Hemisphere Processed Food Industry
    U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in the Western Hemisphere Processed Food Industry. By Christine Bolling, Market and Trade Economics Division, Steve Neff, and Charles Handy, Food and Rural Economics Division, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural Economic Report No. 760. Abstract Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become the leading means for U.S. processed food companies to participate in international markets. Affiliates of U.S.-owned food processing companies had $30 billion in sales throughout the Western Hemisphere in 1995, nearly 4 times the level of processed food exports. This report puts U.S. foreign direct investment and trade in processed foods to the region into global perspective, and finds evidence that, in the aggregate for the 1990’s, trade and FDI are comple- mentary—not competitive—means of accessing international food markets. Incomes have grown sufficiently in most countries to support growth in affiliate sales and U.S. exports, indicating a strong demand for a wide variety of processed foods. Keywords: U.S. food processing industry, Western Hemisphere, foreign trade, foreign direct investment Acknowledgments The authors acknowledge the helpful reviews of Richard Brown, Nicole Ballenger, Mary Burfisher, Steve Haley, Dennis Henderson, Gregory Pompelli, David Skully, and Francis Tuan. The authors are especially grateful to Mary Burfisher, ERS, for running appropriate scenarios of the Burfisher-Robinson-Thierfelder CGE model and offering helpful comments on the presentation of the experiments’ results.

    Empire in a Bottle: Commodities, Culture, and the Consumption of Pilsner Beer in the British Empire, c.1870-1914 A dissertation presented by Malcolm F. Purinton to The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 2016 1 Empire in a Bottle: Commodities, Culture, and the Consumption of Pilsner Beer in the British Empire, c.1870-1914 by Malcolm F. Purinton Abstract of Dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 2 Abstract The Pilsner-style beer is the most popular and widespread beer style in the world with local variants and global brands all competing in marketplaces from Asia to Africa to the Americas. Yet no one has ever examined why this beer and not another was able to capture the global market for malt beverages. This is important from the point of view of the study of beer as a commodity, but its greater importance is in the way the spread of the Pilsner style serves as a visible, traceable marker for the changes wrought by globalization in an age of empire. Its spread was dependent not only on technological innovations and faster transportation, but also on the increased connectedness of the world, and on the political structures like empires that dominated the world at the time. Drawing upon a wide range of archival sources from Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, and South Africa, this study traces the spread in consumption and production of the Pilsner in the British Empire between 1870 and 1914.

[email protected] Resumo Como é possível o destombamento de um bem patrimonial? A primeira fábrica da Cervejaria Brahma, localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, foi fundada em 1888, ainda no período imperial, e destruída em 2011. Instalada no bairro do Catumbi, na Rua Visconde de Sapucahy, pelo imigrante suíço Joseph Villiger, o brasileiro Paul Fritz e Ludwig Mack com a denominação de Manufactura de Cerveja Brahma Villiger & Companhia mudando posteriormente de nome para Companhia Cervejaria Brahma, que depois seria sucedida pela Companhia de Bebidas das Américas-AmBev, fusão das empresas Brahma e Antártica. Com o crescimento da cidade, muitos prédios no bairro foram demolidos para dar passagem ao “progresso”. Em nome do Carnaval, e em prol dos projetos olímpicos para 2016, que gera milhões de reais para o Estado, um bem patrimonial é destombado e descartado. Infelizemente mais um patrimônio industrial é demolido e nem a chaminé ficará para contar a história. Palavras-chave: Patrimônio Industrial, Preservação e Tombamento. Abstract How is it possible the unregistered a heritage? The first factory Brahma brewery located in the Rio de Janeiro’ s city was founded in 1888, even in imperial period and destroyed in 2011.
