Accounting for the acquisition of Lasko (Slovenia)
The acquisition of 53.43 per cent of the share capital of Pivovarna Lasko ('Lasko'), the leading
Slovenian brewer for EUR119.5 million completed on 15 October 2015.
Restructuring of South African and Namibian operations
On 1 December 2015, HEINEKEN along with Diageo plc and The Ohlthaver & List ('O&L') group
of companies, the majority shareholder of Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) restructured their
respective joint venture operations in South Africa and Namibia as follows:
HEINEKEN, Diageo and NBL closed their distribution joint venture, Brandhouse Beverages
(Pty) Ltd.
HEINEKENs shareholding in DHN Drinks (Pty) Limited ('DHN') increased to 75 per cent and
as a result HEINEKEN obtained control over the South African entities DHN and Sedibeng
Brewery (Pty) Limited ('Sedibeng').
HEINEKEN also acquired an additional 15 per cent stake in NBL from Diageo. NBL
is continued to be accounted for as an associate.
HEINEKEN paid a total net cash consideration of ZAR1.9 billion (EUR138 million) to Diageo.
Prior to the restructuring, HEINEKEN had a 75 per cent stake in Sedibeng and a 42.25 per
cent stake in DHN. Both were accounted for as joint ventures because HEINEKEN had joint
control over the entire South African structure. In accordance with IFRS, the Previously Held
Equity Interest (PHEI) in the acquired businesses is accounted for at fair value at the date
of acquisition and amounts to EUR29 million for DHN and EUR137 million for Sedibeng. The
fair value compared to HEINEKENs carrying amount and the release of cumulative amounts
recorded in OCI result in a non-cash exceptional gain of EUR48 million in DHN and a non-cash
exceptional loss of EUR5 million in Sedibeng, recognised in Other Income.

comprises:

cent of the issued share capital of Guinness Anchor Berhad ('GAB'), which is listed on the
Malaysian Stock Exchange. GAPL is also the licensee for Guinness and ABC Stout distribution
for the Singapore market.
HEINEKEN has sold its 20 per cent ownership stake in Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited
('GGBL') to Diageo through the sale of the holding entity of the shares, Heineken Ghanaian

determined using Level 1 inputs (the quoted market price) of D&G shares as of the acquisition
date. The fair value compared to HEINEKENs carrying amount and the release of cumulative
amounts recorded in OCI result in a non-cash exceptional gain of EUR18 million in D&G,

million in GAPL, recognised in Other Income.
