Altria Group, Inc. MO, SABMiller plc's
largest shareholder, notes that Anheuser-Busch InBev BUD has
announced today a proposal for a cash offer for SABMiller SBMRY at £42.15 per
ordinary share, with a partial share alternative, as described in AB
InBev's announcement.
Altria believes that a combination of these two companies would create
significant value for all SABMiller shareholders. Altria supports a
proposal of £42.15, or higher, with a partial share alternative, and,
subject to finalization of terms, would be prepared to elect the partial
share alternative. Altria urges SABMiller's board to engage promptly and
constructively with AB InBev to agree on the terms of a recommended
offer.
