The Heineken Experience, one of Amsterdam’s most popular tourist attractions is to undergo a multi-million euro renovation, which will improve the visitor experience. As a result, the venue - located in the former Heineken brewery in the city centre of the capital of the Netherlands - will be temporarily closed from 29 October 2007 to June 2008.“In the past three years, the number of visitors to the Heineken Experience has grown enormously. In 2006, we welcomed over 350,000” says Hans Maris, Manager of the venue. “To keep up with the growing popularity of the Heineken Experience, and to communicate the Heineken brand values in a more contemporary way, we are going to create an enlarged, unique and highly interactive experience for our guests.” Read more at http://www.heinekeninternational.com/hexpressrelease_renovat

Heineken N.V. and Carlsberg A/S approach to Scottish & Newcastle plc

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) note the public announcement made by S&N today in response to the Consortium’s approach to the board of S&N.

The Consortium confirms that earlier today it submitted to the Chairman of S&N a written proposal and requested a meeting to further discuss a possible offer. The letter referred to the exclusive agreement between Carlsberg and Heineken as well as setting out the terms upon which it would be prepared to proceed with a cash offer at a price of 720 pence per share for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of S&N (the “Proposal”).

Heineken N.V. (“Heineken”) and Carlsberg A/S ("Carlsberg") Consortium Urges S&N to Engage

Heineken and Carlsberg (the "Consortium") note the announcement earlier today by Scottish and Newcastle plc ("S&N") of its initiation of arbitration proceedings with respect to alleged breaches by Carlsberg of the BBH Shareholders’ Agreement.
The Consortium also notes that Carlsberg has squarely refuted these claims in its response.

Rather than pursuing this legal distraction, the Consortium urges the Board of S&N to engage with the Consortium with a view to progressing its proposal which is aimed at delivering certain cash value to S&N shareholders.

The Consortium continues to believe its proposal at 720p per share in cash represents a compelling and deliverable proposition for S&N shareholders at a value that is significantly in excess of the standalone independent value of S&N.

Heineken N.V. (“Heineken”) and Carlsberg A/S (“Carlsberg”) S&N Board’s Intransigence Jeopardises Shareholder Value

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) note the announcement made by Scottish & Newcastle plc (“S&N”) rejecting the Consortium’s proposal to acquire S&N for 750 pence per share in cash (the “Increased Proposal”).

The Consortium is very disappointed by the tone and speed of S&N’s response.
We believe the characterisation by S&N of our Increased Proposal as “highly conditional” stems from a misunderstanding, in particular with regard to their reference to our “full due diligence” requirements. Our diligence is limited and confirmatory in nature and is focused upon the Western European assets and our key separation assumptions. We want to meet with the Board and clarify our limited requirements for the benefit of S&N shareholders. Read more at http://www.heinekeninternational.com/071511_heinekennv.aspx

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) announce that they have today made an increased proposal to the Board of Scottish & Newcastle plc (“S&N”) under which the Consortium would offer to acquire S&N for 750 pence per share in cash (the “Increased Proposal”). The Consortium believes it is important that S&N shareholders are fully informed of the merits of the Consortium’s Increased Proposal in advance of S&N’s trading update on 20 November 2007.

Carlsberg A/S (“Carlsberg”) and Heineken N.V. (“Heineken”) Consortium’s Increased Proposal is Subject to Limited Customary Waivable Pre-conditions

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) wish to reiterate that the making of any offer for Scottish & Newcastle plc (“S&N”) remains subject to certain waivable pre-conditions. This morning it has been reported in the Netherlands that the Consortium will only make a recommended takeover offer for S&N. The Consortium would like to clarify this point. The increased proposal clearly states that the making of any offer is subject to certain pre-conditions (including a board recommendation) all of which may be waived by the Consortium.
In order to provide full transparency to the market, the Consortium sets out below the entire list of the pre-conditions included in its increased proposal: Read more at http://www.heinekeninternational.com/071116heinekennv_pressr

Heineken N.V. and Carlsberg A/S Nothing New from S&N plc (“S&N”) Trading and Strategy Update

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) note the S&N trading update and management presentation made this morning regarding its strategic plans for the S&N business. S&N’s disclosure today contained no surprises. In particular the Consortium believes that:

* The results of the S&N controlled businesses in Western Europe are disappointing and these businesses remain under pressure. The Western European operations account for the majority of profits and almost all of the group’s cash flow from operations.
* The raft of tactical initiatives announced today for the Western European markets may very well not be in the long term interests of the business and carry significant execution risk.
* There is no merit to the BBH arbitration case. Carlsberg and its lawyers (Vinge and Norton Rose) have carefully reviewed all of the materials provided by S&N today and confirm that there continues to be no foundation to S&N’s claims. In particular, Carlsberg would like to emphasise that, contrary to what is stated in the presentation given by S&N to analysts this morning, Carlsberg is not a party to the BBH shareholders agreement (and so cannot be in breach of it) and neither therefore is Carlsberg a party to the arbitration. Pripps-Ringnes AB is a party to the BBH shareholders agreement and is the party that arbitration proceedings have been instituted against. According to Swedish law Pripps-Ringnes AB cannot be held responsible for actions by Carlsberg or the Consortium in relation to the proposed offer.

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) notes recent media reports and confirms that, whilst it has no plans to raise its proposal above 750 pence, it wishes to re-confirm that it reserves the right to increase its proposal should it so decide. The Consortium reiterates that its proposal to acquire Scottish & Newcastle plc (“S&N”) for 750 pence per share in cash delivers full and fair value and is at a level substantially in excess of the standalone independent value of S&N.

Heineken and Carlsberg (the “Consortium”) announce that on Wednesday, 9 January 2008 the Consortium made a materially improved proposal to the Board of Scottish & Newcastle plc (“S&N”) (the “Further Increased Proposal”). The approach represented a decisive attempt by the Consortium to engage in substantive discussions with S&N leading to the announcement of a recommended transaction prior to the Takeover Panel deadline of Monday, 21 January 2008 and to address concerns voiced by S&N and some of its shareholders.

Recommended Cash Offer For Scottish & Newcastle by Sunrise Acquisitions Limited (a company jointly owned by Heineken and Carlsberg)

Commenting on the Offer, Jorgen Buhl Rasmussen, President and CEO of Carlsberg, said:
“This is a truly transformational transaction for Carlsberg. In a single step we have created the world’s fastest growing global brewer. We now have full control of our destiny in Russia and other BBH territories and I am truly excited about the new opportunities this will present to us.”

Commenting on the Offer, Jean-François van Boxmeer, Chairman and CEO of Heineken, said:
“This is a significant strategic step for Heineken. It gives us undisputed leadership in Europe and creates significant opportunities in profitable markets to grow the premium Heineken brand.
