Anheuser-Busch InBev announced that board chairman Martin J. Barrington will be retiring from his position on the company’s board of directors following the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 29, 2026.
Barrington has served on the board since 2016 and as chairman since 2019. He is retiring in line with the company’s corporate governance charter provision respecting retirement at age 70.
At the board’s request, Barrington extended his tenure as chairman for two additional terms beyond the cut-off age to help steer the board and set the company up for future success.
“It has been a pleasure to serve on and lead the AB InBev Board, working alongside such strong and passionate leaders. The company is well positioned to lead and grow the beer category and deliver long-term value to its shareholders. It’s been a privilege to work with CEO Michel Doukeris and his team as they continue to lead and shape this wonderful company,” said Barrington.
To fill the restricted share director seat left by Barrington’s retirement, the restricted shareholders have proposed William F. Gifford Jr., who has previously been a director and is the retiring CEO of Altria Group, Inc., subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 29, 2026. A new chairman will be seated in due course with the input from the new directors following the Annual Shareholders’ meeting.
