- Tuesday, May 7, 2:57 PM Craft brewery execs say they're increasingly brushing back offers from big brewers and P-E firms to consider selling their business. The buzz is over craft beer sales which are growing at a double-digit rate, while global brewery sales continue to move up at a snail's pace. What's next: As Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD +0.9%), SABMiller (SBMRY.PK), Molson Coors (TAP -0.9%), and even winemaker Constellation Brands (STZ) get even thirstier for growth, will craft brew companies continue to resist the temptation to cash in? 5 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX, M&A]
- Monday, April 29, 1:07 PM Speculation that PepsiCo (PEP +0.3%) will either snap up Mondelez International (MDLZ +0.2%) and spin off a new snack company or explore combination opportunities with Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD +1.5%) continues to swirl around to affect the conversation on the stock. Though the company hasn't tipped off anything big in nature, PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi did tease about exploring "structural options" for the North American beverage business during the firm's recent earnings call. (transcript) 1 Comment [Consumer, M&A]
- Friday, April 19, 10:37 AM Anheuser-Busch (BUD +1.7%) has reached a deal with the DOJ regarding its acquisition of Mexican beer giant Grupo Modelo, Bloomberg reports. A consent decree will reportedly be filed today. The deal requires Modelo to sell its U.S. brands, as well as a Mexican brewery, to Constellation Brands (STZ +1.7%). Anheuser also gives up an option to buy back a stake in U.S. Modelo distributor Crown Imports, leaving Crown fully owned by Constellation. Constellation says it will invest $400M to expand the Mexican brewery. (previous) Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
- Friday, April 5, 6:35 PM Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD), Grupo Modelo and Constellation Brands (STZ) confirm a tentative agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to allow their three-way beer deal to get approved. BUD says the new agreement, which isn’t finalized, would be “substantially in line" with revised terms that give more control of Modelo's U.S. beer brands to STZ. 1 Comment [Consumer, M&A]
- Friday, April 5, 4:27 AM AB InBev (BUD) is reportedly close to agreeing to a settlement with the Department of Justice that would persuade the DOJ to approve the company's $20.1B bid to take full control of Modelo, with an announcement set to be made next week. The sides have until Tuesday to update a federal judge on their progress but might request a short extension. Comment! [M&A, Consumer]
- Friday, March 15, 6:07 PM Constellation Brands (STZ) +3.1% AH as AB InBev (BUD), Grupo Modelo and the Justice Department ask a federal court to allow more time for settlement talks that could resolve a government lawsuit challenging the companies' planned merger. After DoJ sued to stop the deal, BUD agreed to sell a Modelo brewery in Mexico to STZ for $2.9B and grant STZ perpetual rights for Corona and other Modelo brands in the U.S. 1 Comment [Consumer, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, March 7, 5:37 AM The WSJ highlights how Bank of America (BAC) made a net profit of around $1.14M on trading options in Constellation Brands (STZ) in the summer, around the time the latter said it was acquiring Crown Imports from AB InBev (BUD) as part of the Belgian brewer's acquisition of full control of Modelo. BofA was an adviser on the Modelo deal and played a crucial role in the funding of both transactions. BofA says that the Chinese wall between different parts of the bank was maintained. 5 Comments [M&A, Financials]
- Monday, March 4, 6:11 AM KKR (KKR) could be set for a hefty profit from South Korean portfolio company Oriental Brewery, with tobacco firm KT&G Corp (KTCIY.OB) reportedly considering a $3B bid for a business that KKR bought for $1.8B in 2009 from AB InBev (BUD). The Belgian company has the right to buy back Oriental Brewery, which has become South Korea's top beer maker under KKR's stewardship, within five years. Comment! [Financials, Consumer, M&A]
- Tuesday, February 26, 3:03 AM AB InBev (BUD) and the Justice Department are reportedly moving closer to agreement that would persuade the DOJ to approve AB InBev's acquisition of control in Grupo Modelo. Discussions are focusing on the company's offer to sell a Modelo brewery, which is similar to InBev's sale of Labatt USA when it bought Anheuser-Busch for $52B in 2009. 1 Comment [Consumer, M&A]
- Monday, February 25, 12:15 PM A federal judge approves an extension to the trial of the Department of Justice against Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD -0.5%) after both sides agree a delay would help provide time to work out a settlement. An amendment to the purchase terms of Grupo Modelo seems to have the deal back on track. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Consumer, M&A]
- Thursday, February 21, 3:23 AM AB InBev (BUD) is in talks with the Department of Justice to allay the latter's competition concerns over the company's proposal to take full control of Modelo, with the sides yesterday asking a court to delay the DOJ's antitrust suit against the deal until March 19. The request came after AB InBev offered further concessions, including selling Modelo's Piedras Negras brewery to Constellation Brands (STZ). Comment! [Consumer, Top Stories, M&A]
- Thursday, February 14, 3:49 AM AB InBev (BUD) amends the terms of its $20.1B proposal to acquire the 50% of Modelo it doesn't own as it looks to allay U.S. antitrust concerns. AB InBev says it will sell the Mexican company's Piedras Negras brewery to Constellation Brands (STZ) and give the latter perpetual rights to sell Corona and other Modelo brands in the U.S. in a deal worth $2.9B. And as originally planned, Constellation will buy the 50% of Crown Imports it doesn't own from Modelo for $1.85B. (PR) 4 Comments [Consumer, Top Stories, M&A]
- Monday, February 11, 6:00 AM AB InBev's (BUD) $20.1B attempt to buy the 50% of Grupo Modelo it doesn't own could be hit by one unforeseen factor - the appointment of the slowest judge in Washington to oversee the Justice Department's lawsuit against the deal. Last year, Judge Richard Roberts had 73 motions pending for over six months and more than 50 cases pending for over three years. Comment! [M&A, Consumer]
- Monday, February 4, 4:18 AM AB InBev (BUD) intends to "vigorously contest" the Department of Justice's lawsuit that seeks to block the company's $20B deal to take control of Modelo, arguing that the DOJ's analysis that the transaction will lead to too much consolidation in the U.S. beer sector and cause price increases is flawed. Experts reckon the sides will try to thrash out an agreement in private, with concessions possibly including the sale of Modelo's bottling plant in Mexico. 1 Comment [M&A, Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 16, 4:45 AM Talks between the Department of Justice and Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) over the latter's $20.1B purchase of the 50% of Grupo Modelo it doesn't own are reportedly centering on a supply and pricing agreement between the merged entity and Crown Imports, which sells beers such as Modelo's Corona in the U.S. Discussions aren't focused on the sale of production assets. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 11:16 AM A posting on the Office of Fair Trading's website reads "Clearance" for the Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD -0.9%) acquisition of Grupo Modelo. The approval in the U.K. is only the first of many hurdles for the global brewer in the mega-deal. Comment! [M&A, Consumer, Global & FX]
