Royal Unibrew's sale of breweries in the Caribbean to Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana (CND)

Company Announcement No 4/2010
12 February 2010






In relation to the conditional agreement between Royal Unibrew and CND to sell
Royal Unibrew's own-ership shares in certain breweries in the Caribbean (see
Company Announcements No 23/2009 of 12 Au-gust 2009 and No 27/2009 of 6
November 2009), the following is announced: 

•	All preconditions for closing the deal have now been met except for one.

•	In one of the islands, the Government has decided to grant a given licence to
the purchaser. The decision has been confirmed by the Minister of Finance;
however, the administration has not yet formally issued the document. 

•	Royal Unibrew and CND expect the written confirmation from the local
administration to be avail-able during the coming weeks. 

•	The deal is therefore expected to be closed during the coming weeks and a
Company Announce-ment will be issued at that time. 

•	As previously announced, this transaction will reduce Royal Unibrew's
interest-bearing debt by just below DKK 200 million, and the net selling price
of the shares is at the level of their carrying amount (see also Company
Announcement No 23/2009 of 12 August 2009).

Yours sincerely
Royal Unibrew A/S
