Grupo Modelo S.A.B. DE C.V. Grupo Modelo statement regarding discussions with US Department of Justice Mexico City, February 20, 2013. Grupo Modelo, S.A.B. de C.V. and Subsidiaries (BMV: GMODELO), the leader in Mexico in beer production, distribution and marketing, announced that Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI; NYSE: BUD), Grupo Modelo, S.A.B. de C.V., Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ, STZ.B) and Crown Imports LLC are engaged in discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice seeking to resolve the Department of Justice's litigation challenging AB InBev's proposed acquisition of the remaining stake in Grupo Modelo that it does not already own. In connection with such discussions, the parties and the Department of Justice have agreed to jointly approach the court to request a stay of all litigation proceedings until March 19, 2013. There can be no assurance that the discussions will be successful.

The filing today also reiterates AB InBev's and Modelo's position that the revised transaction resolves the concerns raised in the DOJ's complaint.

Grupo Modelo, founded in 1925, is the leader in Mexico in beer production, distribution and marketing. It has a total annual installed capacity of 71.5 million hectoliters. Currently, it brews and distributes 14 brands, including Corona Extra, the number one Mexican beer sold in the world, Modelo Especial, Victoria, Pacífico and Negra Modelo. It exports seven brands and is present in more than 180 countries. It is the importer of Anheuser-Busch InBev's products in Mexico, including Budweiser, Bud Light and O'Doul's. It also imports the Chinese Tsingtao Brand, the Danish beer Carlsberg, and Spanish beer Mahou Cinco Estrellas. Through a strategic alliance with Nestlé Waters, it produces and distributes in Mexico the bottled water brands Sta. María and Nestlé Pureza Vital, among others. Grupo Modelo trades in the Mexican Stock Exchange since 1994 with the ticker symbol GMODELOC and in 2011 it was included in its Sustainability Index. It also quotes as an ADR under the ticker GPMCY in the OTC markets and in Latibex in Spain as XGMD.
