Inc. has approached Grupo Modelo CEO Carlos Fernandez about possibly combining A-B with the leading Mexican brewer in an attempt to possibly block InBev's $46.3 billion takeover offer of the top U.S. brewer, according to a Wall Street Journal report. One strategy A-B could consider to thwart a potential takeover is making a move to acquire the 50 percent of Grupo Modelo, maker of the Corona brand, that it does not already own. Taking on that expense could potentially make an acquisition of A-B too expensive for Belgian brewer InBev, according to analysts. The Wall Street Journal said it wasn't clear what type of transaction was discussed between A-B and Fernandez, who serves on A-B's board of directors. CNBC reported earlier Friday that A-B may give Grupo Modelo "equal to up to" 19.9 percent in the brewer and cash with a total consideration between $12.5 billion and $15 billion. |
