THE CHAIRMANS LETTER

The following is the text of a letter received by the Issuing House, Sterling Capital Markets Limited from Mr. Christoph Steinwehe, Chairman, Board of Directors of International Breweries Plc. Lawrence Omole Way Omi Asoro Ilesha Osun State.

7th May 2007 The Directors Sterling Capital Markets Limited 67 Marina Lagos Dear Sirs,

OFFER FOR SUBSCRIPTION OF 1,600,000,000 ORDINARY SHARES OF 50 KOBO EACH IN INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES PLC AT 87K PER SHARE (THE OFFER) On behalf of the Directors of International Breweries Plc (International Breweries or the Company), I am pleased to provide you with the following information in connection with the Offer for Subscription of 1,600,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 50 kobo each of the Company at 87k per share. This is in line with the resolutions passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 12th February 2007. 1.0 History and Business of the Company

History International Breweries Plc was incorporated in December 1971 by its founder and first Chairman, Dr. Lawrence Omole in collaboration with some of his business associates, under the name INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES LIMITED. With adequate back-up having been provided by the initial corporate and private investors, the Company commenced production in December 1978 with an installed capacity of 200,000 hectolitres of TROPHY lager beer per annum. Following the increasing demand for its product, in December 1982 the Company embarked upon an expansion programme to increase its brewing capacity to 500,000 hectolitres annually. To date, the Companys products are TROPHY lager beer and BETAMALT, a non alcoholic beverage drink which came into production in 1988. However, demand for Trophy Lager Beer remains very strong. The Company oftentimes is unable to meet demand within Osun State. Our customers often pay for products up to two weeks in advance and are ready to carry products off the production line to satisfy their demand. It is obvious that the Brewery needs the injection of fresh capital to substantially increase production substantially and cut costs considerably thereby enabling it to return to the path of profitability. International Breweries Plc has a subsisting Technical Services Agreement with Brauhaase International Management GmbH (a wholly owned subsidiary of Warsteiner Group of Germany), which owns 60.01% equity in International Breweries Plc. It has been the Technical Partner of International Breweries Plc since inception and became the majority shareholder at the time of the last share issue of the Company. The name Brauhaase is steeped in German brewing traditions since the opening of the family run brewery E. Haase Lagerbierbrauerei in 1858. In the mid-sixties, Haase-Brauerei shifted its focus into niche markets overseas, beginning with the state of the art 500,000 hectolitres turnkey brewery in West Africa Brasserie BB Lome, SA. As of January 1, 1997, Brauhaase had completed turnkey projects for production of over 6 million hectoliters of beer per annum, and more than a million hectoliters of soft drinks. These projects cover all 5 continents of the globe and are located in 20 different countries worldwide, no less than 13 of which benefit from either a full management or a technical management contract with Brauhaase. A number of new projects have just recently gone on-line (Cameroon) or are currently in the planning or construction phase.

THE CHAIRMANS LETTER

One of Brauhaases most successful major brewery projects was the construction of the Golden Key Brewery in Putian, Fulkien Province, Peoples Republic of China: this brewery produces Becks beer under license and was designed and constructed according to Becks specifications. The Warsteiner brewery itself was founded in 1753; it is one of Germanys biggest privately owned breweries. Its main product, which is sold in more than 60 countries, is Warsteiner Premium Verum 4.8%ABV. Also popular is Warsteiner Premium Fresh without alcohol. It is usually packaged in 500ml cans brewed and canned in Germany. Sales for 2005 rose from 470million Euros to 510million Euros with total output of 5.9million hectoliters. Warsteiner Groups re-organisation and repositioning as a modern, fully comprehensive beverages conglomerate oriented towards customer and market interests played a particularly important role in the overall results. Long term investments in the Companys foreign businesses and other brands such as Frankenheim Alt, Frankenheim blue, Konig Ludwig Dunkel and Konig Ludwig Weissbier have paid off, as corroborated by a 20.2% surge in sales volume outside Germany. Apart from the factory and corporate headquarters located at Omi-Asoro, Ilesa, which also services the Ilesa/Ile-Ife sector of its market, the Company maintains depots/branches in all the states in the South Western region of Nigeria. Despite the challenges of the years gone by, the Company is now repositioned to achieve optimal capacity utilisation and a return to profitability. A new management team led by Otunba Michael Daramola took over the management of the brewery in 2005 and the positive results are already evident. Towards the end of 2005, the new management successfully completed the first phase of our project on expanding capacity, by inaugurating the rehabilitated Bottling Line II. In addition, we have concluded arrangements for the regular supply of high grade malted barley and other critical raw materials using a 90-day suppliers credit facility and access to term funding for the procurement of key spare parts. These initiatives coupled with Managements focus on a profit-oriented strategy that is anchored to our new core values of honesty, integrity and a commitment to excellence, transparency and customer satisfaction, constitute the foundations for the renaissance of your Company that has been so long awaited. The Board and Management are committed to a programme of Company restructuring that is results oriented and which embraces professionalism and excellence in all aspects of operations. Our objective is to return to profitability and growth, win back investors confidence, revitalise and expand our customer base so that an ever-increasing number of consumers may enjoy the unique tasting experience offered by the products of International Breweries Plc. 1.2 Our Products and Services

The Companys products are TROPHY Lager Beer and BETAMALT (a non-alcoholic beverage). 2.0 2.1 Board and Management

The company has grown extensively with projects from both private and government institutions spanning the country.

THE CHAIRMANS LETTER (CONTD)

8.0 Business Prospects and Going Concern Status

The attention of the Board was drawn to the audit reports specifically to the persistent losses for the past ten years raising doubts on the going concern status of the Company, which greatly depends on further injection of fresh funds in order to increase production capacity. International Breweries has put in place a new management team concurrent with the investment in renovating and replacing plant and equipment designed to achieve a significant turnaround in the performance of the brewery. Current production volume in the brewery is grossly insufficient to satisfy local demand much less the regional demand, it is therefore imperative to significantly increase production volumes by improving the plant and equipment. It is planned that production volume would quickly increase to 140,000 hectoliters annually post-offer and thereafter to be in excess of 350,000 hectolitres annually thereafter. 9.0 Risk Factors & Mitigants

Company Specific Risk International Breweries Plc has faced quite a number of challenges over the years; it has suffered from inadequate production facilities as a result of lack of working capital and breakdown of the plant. This has resulted in losses over the years. Mitigant The core investor has renewed interest in the Company by bringing in additional funds to build a new production line and changed the management team as well as staff rationalization to achieve return to profitability. It is believed that these measures together with the new funds from this Offer will achieve a significant turnaround in the Company. Sector Risk The Company faces stiff competition from the dominant breweries in Nigeria; Nigerian Breweries Plc and Guinness Nigeria Plc, which together control over 55% of the beer market. Their products are doing well in the market and there are no significant government policies that are likely to affect the industry adversely. The balance of 45% is fragmented amongst all the other brewers scattered across various regions in the country, each with significant market share in its locality. Mitigant International Breweries Plc enjoys good patronage of its product in Osun and Oyo States, where the Trophy brand is very popular. At present it is unable to satisfy local demand; it is planned that with increased production capabilities Trophy lager beer would be available in sufficient quantities in the South Western part of the country. Political Risk Changes in regulatory policies and unforeseen political crises could have adverse effects on economic development and stability in the country, which could restrict or slow down foreign direct investment into the country. A stable political climate is thus essential for business growth. Mitigant With the successful handover of government to a newly elected civilian administration, there is growing confidence in the Nigerian economy by the international community. This is evidenced by the continuos flow of international investors into the Nigerian economy. Equity Investment Risk Investments in the capital market are always subject to general risk. There can be no guarantee of constant trading in International Breweries shares or that the Companys market price will not fluctuate either upwards or downwards. The price of International Breweries, or any other equity, may rise or fall depending on a number of factors beyond the control of the Company. Mitigant Trading activities on the Nigerian Stock Exchange has witnessed tremendous turnover in the recent past as a result of investors confidence in the Market and several new issues that have been floated. With the new shares of International Breweries Plc being offered to the public through this Offer, it is expected that the Companys shares would be more liquid on the Stock Exchange.

THE CHAIRMANS LETTER (CONTD)

Currency Risk Foreign Investors may run the risk of incurring losses caused by an adverse change in exchange rates. Mitigant The Central Bank of Nigeria, in light of Nigerias burgeoning foreign reserves, has recently instituted measures to stabilize and strengthen the Naira. These efforts if sustained will not only reduce the risk of foreign investments, but will make Naira investments stronger than investments held in other currencies. Environmental Risk Being a manufacturing company, International Breweries Plc poses some risk to its environment in form of by-products, industrial wastes and effluent discharge. Mitigant Some of the industrial by-products and wastes generated by the Company constitute raw materials for some agro-allied companies; therefore these wastes are collected by feedmillers and farmers for preparation of livestock feeds and other uses. This eliminates the dumping of such wastes in the environment. The Company also complies with all environmental standards prescribed by Federal Environmental Protection Agency, Standards Organisation of Nigeria and National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control.

10.0 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company has not embarked on any research and development activities in recent years. 11.0 COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Company recognizes the importance of an effective Corporate Governance that seeks to provide for the best practices to be followed by the Company in the exercise of the power over the strategic direction to be pursued, the supervision of the executive actions, transparency, accountability and regulatory compliance. We provide below the extent of compliance by the Company with the code of best practices on corporate governance. Responsibility of the Board of Directors The Company is compliant with all the duties and responsibilities stated under Parts A to C of the Code. Composition of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors of the Company is composed of 7 Directors, 6 of whom are non-executive Directors. The Board members are professionals and businessmen with vast experience and credible track records. The Board has a formal schedule of matters specifically reserved for it to ensure that the direction and control of the Company is firmly in its hands. Chairman and CEO Positions The position of the Chairman is separate from that of the Chief Executive. The Chairman is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company and is not a member of any sub-committee of the Board.

Future Plans

The Technical Partner and Principal Shareholder, together with the Board of Directors and Management are committed to returning the Company to a path of growth and profitability. With this in mind, a fairly aggressive investment option and corresponding operating scenario has been developed that will greatly improve the reliability of the production facility, revitalise and expand the customer base and create the platform for further expansion. The Company has large plant capacities in specific areas and achieved its peak production levels in the late 1980s (e.g. approximately 400,000 Hls in 1988). The recent very low production efficiency (10% in 2006) is the result of the cumulative effect of unnecessary bureaucracy, a lack of maintenance, staff skills and competencies mismatches and deficiencies, as well as external factors such as epileptic power, fuel and raw materials shortages and difficulties in obtaining spare parts. With this situation in mind, the Board of Directors has adopted a business plan to cover the period 2007-2009, which seeks to firstly ensure the Company has a reliable production facility so that volumes can very quickly reach 140,000 hectolitres on an annual basis and be progressively increased to be in excess of 350,000 hectolitres annually by 2009. Arrangements have also been made to provide the necessary working capital that will ensure the regular supply of raw materials, fuel, spares and other essentials for uninterrupted production.

THE CHAIRMANS LETTER (CONTD)

Concurrent with the investment in renovating and replacing plant and equipment, management has a programme to recruit highly experienced staff to fill key positions and thereby meet the skills deficiencies that the Company is currently facing. In addition, a renewed effort, together with the necessary budgetary resources, is now in hand to address the wide-ranging training and staff development needs of the Company as it takes up the challenge of turning the Company into a profitable and well-respected organisation for the benefit of all. With the foregoing in place, coupled with a well-focused marketing strategy to get the increased volume to the consumer, the company will be well-positioned to envisage yet further expansion, both in terms of volume and product type, and correspondingly greater profitability. The technical partners/majority shareholders to date have remitted over 3.2 million Euros towards maintaining their 60.01% equity holding in International Breweries Plc in this Public Offering.

If he elects to have another person registered, he shall testify his election to the transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid, as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice of transfer were a transfer signed by that member.
