Anheuser-Busch InBev Statement

Regarding the Potential IPO of Budweiser APAC

 

 

12 July 2019 – Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI) (NYSE: BUD) (MEXBOL: ANB) (JSE: ANH) (the “company”) has decided that, at this time, it is not proceeding with the announced public offering of a minority stake in its Asia Pacific subsidiary, Budweiser Brewing Company APAC Limited, on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

 

The company is not proceeding with this transaction due to several factors, including the prevailing market conditions. The company will closely monitor market conditions, as it continuously evaluates its options to enhance shareholder value, optimize the business and drive long-term growth, subject to strict financial discipline.
