Altria Group Plans to Sell 35 Million Shares of AB InBev
Altria Group plans to sell 35 million shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev for $2.26 billion, reducing its stake to 10%.

According to Reuters on March 14th, Altria Group plans to sell 35 million shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev. Altria currently owns approximately 197 million shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev, representing a 10% stake in the company.

 

On the recent stock market closing day, the total value of this equity sale was $2.26 billion. Anheuser-Busch InBev plans to sell a portion of its American depositary shares of Budweiser in the United States, as well as conduct a private placement in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.

 

Altria Group announced that Anheuser-Busch InBev has agreed to repurchase $2 billion worth of common stock directly from Altria after the equity offering concludes.

 

Altria Group owns several tobacco brands including Marlboro and the vape company NJOY, while Anheuser-Busch InBev is one of the largest beer producers in the world, headquartered in Belgium. It was formed by the merger of Anheuser-Busch and InBev in 2008. The company operates multiple well-known beer brands such as Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois, and Hoegaarden. Anheuser-Busch InBev holds a significant market share globally and continues to expand its business operations.
