Anheuser-Busch InBev raises its $100 billion-plus bid for rival brewer SABMiller after a slide in the value of the pound following the Brexit vote made the offer less attractive for many investors, threatening to derail the deal. Grace Pascoe reports.
Anheuser-Busch InBev has launched its $100 billion-plus offer for nearest rival SABMiller. As David Pollard reports, the world's biggest brewer has agreed to sell SAB's stake in U.S. venture MillerCoors to help win regulatory approval.
Much of AB InBev's interest in SABMiller stems from the potential growth of beer markets in Africa, a continent of a billion people. But as Ivor Bennett reports, the commodity price slump could also hit the region's bars.
Anheuser-Busch InBev has raised its takeover offer for SABMiller for a third time, as the world's largest brewer tries to win over its smaller rival to create a giant that would make a third of the world's beer. But as Ivor Bennett reports, the offer may still not be enough.
Protesters gather at the Aveyron Metallurgy Company (SAM), to denounce the suppression of over 300 jobs, following a decision by Renault to refuse the only offer to take over the foundry. IMAGES
