| (a) | In addition to the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table, if Beam elects to accept for purchase Notes validly tendered in the offers as of the Early Tender Date on the Early Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), Notes tendered at or before the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date in priority to Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date. |
| (b) | Acceptance of the 2021-2036 Notes (as defined below) is subject to the 2021-2036 Maximum Amount (as defined below). |
Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or before the Early Tender Date, and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by Beam, will be entitled to receive the Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for such Notes, which will be determined as set forth in Beam’s Offer to Purchase, dated May 17, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and which includes an Early Tender Payment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. Holders of Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and at or before the Expiration Date (as defined below) will not receive the Early Tender Payment.
Beam will accept for purchase any and all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn 6.375% Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and up to $175,000,000 (the “2021-2036 Maximum Amount”) of the validly tendered and not validly withdrawn 8.625% Debentures due 2021, 7.875%

Debentures due 2023, 6.625% Debentures due 2028 and 5.875% Notes due 2036 (the “2021-2036 Notes” and, together with the 2014 Notes, the “Notes”). To the extent the aggregate principal amount of 2021-2036 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the offers exceeds the 2021-2036 Maximum Amount, Beam will accept such Notes for purchase based on priority level (subject to early settlement on the Early Settlement Date, as described below) and in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase. Additionally, if Beam elects to settle on the Early Settlement Date with respect to Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, 2021-2036 Notes tendered at or before the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date in priority to 2021-2036 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date. Beam currently expects to redeem, following the Expiration Date, all 2014 Notes that are not accepted for purchase in the tender offers in accordance with their terms. The offers are subject to various conditions, including Beam receiving net proceeds from a debt financing transaction (the “Debt Financing Transaction”) sufficient to purchase all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offers and to redeem all 2014 Notes not accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offers, plus all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the tender offers and the redemption of the 2014 Notes.
The tender offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2013, unless extended or terminated earlier (the “Expiration Date”).
