Building a new brewery
In August Heineken announced that its subsidiary Heineken España, S.A. has signed an agreement for the divestment of the land and buildings of the current brewery site in Seville. As the result of the sale Heineken will realise a book gain of 329 million EUR before tax in the second half of 2006, which will be treated as an exceptional item. The amount of the book gain after tax is 279 million EUR.
