ACQUISITION OF BRASIL KIRIN HOLDING S.A. UPDATE 
On 13 February 2017 HEINEKEN announced that it had entered into an agreement with Kirin Holdings Company Limited ("Kirin") to acquire Brasil Kirin Holding S.A. The release also stated that HEINEKEN was in the process of reviewing its future route to market for its Brazilian operation. HEINEKEN Brasil products are currently distributed by the Coca Cola bottlers in Brazil.

Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approval and is expected in the first half of 2017.
