Mid July has seen some activity in the Consumer sector with Anheuser-Busch Companies, the brewer and amusement park operator, signing a definitive agreement to be acquired by InBev, the Belgium based manufacturer of alcoholic beverages for $52bn (€37bn) at $70 (€44) per share. The deal agreement has been reached in what largely appears to be one of compromise with both parties ending up far better-off than what could have been. It looked as though a couple of weeks ago the tug of war over the potential deal could become a very bad headache, however, according to the Financial Times, after a string of hushed phone calls and meetings, the two companies were able to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. To do this they negotiated the original $65 per share offer and successfully avoided a messy hostile takeover.
