InBev, Anheuser hold active deal talks
- Published 07/11/2008
Anheuser-Busch had been a reluctant takeover target, spurning InBev's $46.3 billion takeover bid and fighting efforts to have the Belgian brewer replace its board of directors.
Media reports said InBev had raised its bid to $70 per share, up from $65 per share, and a deal could be sealed this weekend. InBev declined to comment. Anheuser-Busch could not be immediately reached for comment.

- Published 07/7/2008
Coca-Cola Co.’s former president and chief operating officer, Muhtar Kent, took as chief executive officer last week just as the beverage market is losing some of its fizz.
When the company announced late last year that Kent, the 55-year-old protege of Chairman and now-former CEO E. Neville Isdell, would ascend to the top spot July 1, the global beverage giant appeared to be finally shaking off years of malaise.
But since then, Coke’s stock has fallen about 21 percent from an eight-year high in January.
In recent weeks, two of Coke’s biggest bottlers in Europe and the U.S. have issued profit warnings, clear indicators that the deteriorating economy is cutting into beverage sales.
At least one analyst says U.S. sales have recently slowed in Glaceau drinks, which Coke acquired in a $4.1 billion acquisition of Energy Brands Inc. last year, a major deal Kent drove.
Kent insists that the beverage industry is better positioned than many other businesses to weather economic difficulties. He says rapid urbanization and blossoming of the middle class in big emerging nations are juicing demand for on-the-go beverages. So many people are moving to urban centers that it is like “adding a city the size of New York to the world every three months,” he said in a recent interview.
Atlanta-based Coke said in late May that it remains confident in its “global business outlook” for the second quarter and the full year. Coke has also said in recent months that Glaceau sales are strong, and a Coke spokesman said the company is pleased with its acquisition.
But Kent acknowledges that he faces stronger headwinds than were expected seven months ago. He has indicated that as CEO he will stick to the current strategic plan emphasizing closer cooperation with retailers, improved marketing and aggressive expansion into juice and other drinks.
“No one knows what the world macro scene is going to be like in the next six to eight months,” he said. “But my prediction is there will be some tough times, and we’ll be best poised to deal with them, with our bottling partners.”

- Published 07/2/2008
Private equity company MGL Asset Management Group LLC confirmed Tuesday it offered to buy troubled doughnut maker Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. for more than $477.5 million.
News of the offer, which was faxed Sunday night to Krispy Kreme (nyse: KKD - news - people ) Chief Executive James Morgan, sent the company's shares up 22 cents, or 4.4 percent, to close at $5.21. The stock traded at more than five times its average daily volume.
MGL Managing Director Dee Guess said in an e-mail response to questions that he offered to buy Krispy Kreme for $7.25 per share. That price would be a 38 percent premium to the company's closing price Friday of $5.27.
Guess said MGL would also assume the company's debt. He valued the deal at more than $500 million, including the debt.
"This company has incredible potential, but it can't reach that potential simply being operated as a cost-cutting venture," Guess said in the e-mail. "The current management has learned how to stop the bleeding, MGL will take the company off life support and make it healthy again."
