ACCC Approves Foster's Takeover


A week after Foster's (ASX:FGL) and SABMiller agreed to a $10.7 billion takeover deal, Australia's competition watchdog has given its nod, saying the acquisition was unlikely to cut competition for beer supply.

‘‘The ACCC has formed the view that the proposed acquisition is not likely to result in a substantial lessening of competition for the supply of beer,’’ said ACCC Chairman Rod Sims.

SABMiller Prepares for Foster's Takeover


The country's biggest brewer Foster's (ASX:FGL) has agreed to a sweetened SABMiller offer of $12.3 billion as SABMiller chief executive Graham Mackay offered to raise the cash bid to $5.53 per share.

Foster's had previously rejected SABMiller's bid of $4.90 per share, saying it undervalued the company. Under the new agreement, Foster's will return 30 cents a share as capital return and pay a final dividend of 13.25 cents.

Foster's Defence Expected This Week


Beer giant Foster's (ASX:FGL) is expected to hit back this week after SABMiller's allegations that the brewer's made misleading statements while presenting its annual profit.

The takeovers panel reported Friday that SABMiller says "there is no reasonable basis for several forward-looking statements" in Foster's results presentation. SABMiller also said Foster's net debt of $887 million is "inconsistent with Australian accounting standards."

Foster's Focusing on Business Not Takeovers


SABMiller is not acquiring Foster's (ASX:FGL) anytime soon as Foster's chief executive John Pollaers said the company is focusing on business improvement, not takeover bids.

This second rejection comes after the brewer shot down a $9.5 billion unsolicited but highly anticipated offer from SABMiller last month, saying the bid grossly undervalued Foster's.

SAB Miller Will Continue to Woo Foster's


After Foster's (ASX:FGL) shot down SAB Miller's $9.5 billion takeover bid, persistent SAB is going to continue talks with the brewer's board. SAB Miller offered $4.90 per Foster's share, which Foster's said significantly undervalued the company.

“The board of Foster’s believes the proposal significantly undervalues the company in the context of a change of control and, as such, it does not intend to take any further action,” said Foster's group.
