InBev brews up bid for Bud
STELLA Artois brewer InBev has made an approach to buy Budweiser owner Anheuser-Busch in a move that would create the world's biggest brewer by volume.
The 23.40 a share proposal values the US brewer at 23.6 billion. It said it would "review the merits" of a possible tie-up that would incorporate InBevs drinks with their own.
The Missouri-based firm said: "The board will pursue the course of action that is in the best interests of Anheuser-Busch's stockholders."
InBev's Carlos Brito said he saw the combination as a "natural step for both".
