| SABMiller may buy Foster's beer ops for $10.9 billion: report |
| London, 24.08.2010 |
|
| LONDON (Reuters) – SABMiller (SAB.L)(SABJ.J), the world's second-largest brewer, is considering buying the beer operations of Foster's Group (FGL.AX), Australia's biggest brewer, for about 7 billion pounds ($10.9 billion), the Sunday Times reported.
SABMiller is planning to buy Carlton & United Breweries, the beer making part of Foster's, the paper said.
A spokesman for SABMIller declined to comment.
Foster's could attract takeover bids of up to $10 billion from suitors including SABMiller and Japan's Asahi Breweries (2502.T), after a long-awaited decision to split off its struggling wine business, Reuters reported in June.
Carlton & United Breweries, run by former navy weapons' engineer John Pollaers, generates around 85 percent of Foster's group earnings and has a profit margin of 38.5 percent.
SABMiller, the maker of Peroni and Miller Lite, gets about 85 percent of its profits from the emerging markets of Latin America, Africa and Asia.
