“We are excited about our agreement on the terms of a recommended acquisition of SABMiller to build the world’s first truly global brewer, ” said Carlos Brito, AB Inbev’s CEO, in a statement.
“Our joint portfolio of complementary global and local brands would provide more choices for beer drinkers in new and existing markets around the world.”
