In light of Graham Mackay having died in December 2013, I have taken the liberty to remove his name from the infobox and the board of directors. I don't have the time right now to follow up on the finer details - simply removing an obvious oversight. &Brewt@lk 20:40, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This page needs a section on the allegations that SAB Miller has engaged in massive tax avoidance. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/nov/29/sabmiller-india-africa-actionaid-report Vorpaul (talk) 17:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the interests of transparency I am declaring that SABMiller is my client and I have a conflict of interest. I hope to work with other editors to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate. Please contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions.
The owner section of the article information box is factually incorrect. The box incorrectly calls Altria the owner of SABMiller – shares in SABMiller plc are publicly traded in London and Johannesburg and so Altria is one of many shareholders and, with around 27% of the shareholding, does not own a majority. Please refer to page 98 in our Annual Report for the reference: http://sabmiller.com/docs/default-source/investor-documents/reports/2015/ar-2015-pdf-documents/sabmiller2015_Annual_Report%20.pdf?sfvrsn=18
I would like to suggest that the Owner section is removed from the article information box given that SABMiller is not ‘owned’ by any one company.
I would be grateful if other editors review this request to edit and implement the change.
Thanks in advance.

Done a very quick edit to change to past tense. Could probably be tidied up more but at least it now reflects the current state of affairs Chrismorey (talk) 01:36, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SABMiller's global Headquarter was in Woking, England. Leuven is the HQ of AB InBev. Please correct, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.44.225.18 (talk) 15:50, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have revised this article but it needs additional work. Some massive changes for the company recently. I do not have time to do it all.
Some of my edits:
...the deal closed on 10 October 2016. The acquisition - subsequently referred to as a merger in the news media - ended the corporate use of the name SABMiller. The new company is called Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, (AB InBev) and is trading as NewbelcoSABMiller. SABMiller ceased trading on global stock markets.
As part of the agreement with the regulators, SABMiller sold to Molson Coors full ownership of the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico for US$12 billion. Molson Coors also retained『the rights to all of the brands currently in the MillerCoors portfolio for the U.S. and Puerto Rico, including Redd’s and import brands such as Peroni, Grolsch and Pilsner Urquell.』The agreement made Molson Coors the world's third largest brewer.|url=http://www.molsoncoors.com/en/news/molson-coors-completes-acquisition-of-millercoors-and-global-miller-brand-portfolio |title=Molson Coors Completes Acquisition of Full Ownership of MillerCoors and Global Miller Brand Portfolio author= |date=October 11, 2016 |website=Molson Coors |publisher=Molson Coors |access-date=January 29, 2017 |quote=Becomes World’s Third Largest Brewer by Enterprise Value and Strengthens Position in Highly Attractive U.S. Beer Market}}

This article is a hot mess of tense, likely due to the merger and disappearance of SABMiller as a distinct entity. It should be decided what the current status of SABMiller is (is it a company that no longer exists, or is it a still-existing part of Anheuser-Busch InBev?), and all verbs in the article should be changed to reflect that. Additionally, if it's decided that SABMiller is still existent, sections should be updated with respect to the divestiture of the MillerCoors brands. (I'm looking at you, "Beer" section.) -- 162.238.240.55 (talk) 03:51, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have done a lot of work on this article in the past two weeks because SABMiller ceased to exist as an entity. Much of it is now in past tense. Peter K Burian (talk) 15:22, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
