Hop Talk: InBev is a persistent suitor
Maybe they need someone to take the role of Cyrano de Bergerac.
InBev Remains Committed to $46.3 Billion Anheuser Bid
InBev NV, whose bid for Anheuser-Busch Cos. was rejected by the Budweiser maker, repeated that it’s committed to its offer of $65 a share and would prefer a friendly takeover.
The bid reflects the “full and fair” value of the company, InBev Chief Executive Officer Carlos Brito said in an e-mailed statement today. The Leuven, Belgium-based brewer will pursue “all available avenues” to allow Anheuser shareholders to vote directly on the offer.
Meanwhile, A-B has already announced a reduction in its workforce, reduction in pensions, and an increase in the employee contributions for healthcare, all in an effort to cut costs and remain independent.
