InBev's Anheuser-Busch Bid Turns Hostile
DealBook:
InBev, the brewery based in Belgium, has begun a hostile bid to take over the Anheuser-Busch Companies.
In a statement, InBev said Thursday that it had filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court seeking to confirm that Anheuser shareholders can remove without cause all 13 board members.
The company said that it had started a $46.3 billion takeover for the Budweiser maker, but that its "strong preference" was to begin a constructive dialogue with the Anheuser's board to achieve "a friendly combination."
