The Company is the owner of some of the world’s leading brands in the beer industry. As a result, brands are expected to generate positive cash flow for as long as the Company owns the brands, and accordingly they have been assigned indefinite useful lives. The most representative brands that have been recorded as a result of the fair value determination of past acquisitions are Quilmes in Argentina, Pilsen in Paraguay, Paceña and Huari in Bolivia and Presidente and Presidente Light in the Dominican Republic. The carrying value of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives classified as brands were allocated to the following CGUs:
