Communication regarding ABI’s non-controlling interest in AB InBev Efes BV
8 August 2024 – As previously announced in April 2022, AB InBev (ABI) and Anadolu Efes have been in discussions regarding ABI’s non-controlling interest in AB InBev Efes BV, and in December 2023, they announced that Anadolu Efes had agreed to acquire the entirety of that interest.
As previously indicated, the completion of the transaction was subject to required regulatory and governmental approvals. However those approvals were not obtained. Anadolu Efes and AB InBev are reviewing the decision. The business in Russia continues to operate under the direction of Anadolu Efes management.
