Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) Seeks $122B in Financing for SABMiller Bid - WSJ

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE: BUD) is seeking approximately $122 billion in financing to buy rival SABMiller plc (OTC: SBMRY), according to reports from the Wall Street Journal.

Anheuser-Busch InBev is not in active discussions to acquire SABMiller plc, the report said, waiting to line-up financing before making a formal approach.

Earlier, Heineken N.V. (OTCBB: HINKY) announced that it has been approached by SABMiller plc (OTCBB: SBMRY) regarding a potential acquisition, which was rebuffed. The move could have been an effort by SABMiller to thwart an Anheuser-Busch InBev overture.
