(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order prohibits Interbrew SA, Interbrew UK Limited and any other member of the Interbrew group (collectively referred to as “Interbrew”) and Bass Holdings Limited (“Bass”) (formerly a subsidiary of Bass PLC) from doing things which might impede the operation of an Order which the Secretary of State has under consideration for the purpose of remedying or preventing the adverse effects specified in the Competition Commission report on the acquisition by Interbrew SA of the brewing interests of Bass PLC (Cm. 5014, obtainable from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office). In particular, it requires Interbrew and Bass to maintain the business of Interbrew separately from that of Bass.
