Fundação Zerrener’s mission is to provide mainly medical, hospital and educational assistance to employees and dependants of its sponsor – initially Companhia Antarctica Paulista and, since 1999, Ambev and its controlled companies based in Brazil. The Foundation acts for this cause since September 1936, with support from the endowment left by the couple Helena Mathilde Ida Emma Zerrenner and João Carlos Antonio Frederico Zerrenner, who was one of the founders of the old Companhia Antarctica Paulista, succeeded by Ambev.
AB InBev currently indirectly holds shares in Ambev representing 61.8% of the total and voting capital stock (excluding treasury shares).
The parties to Ambev Shareholders’ Agreement are IIBV and AmBrew, which represent AB Inbev’s beneficial interest in Ambev, and Fundação Zerrener, as well as Ambev, as intervening party, and AB Inbev, as intervening third-party beneficiary.
