Brewer SABMiller accepts AB InBev final offer

Brewer SABMiller's board on Friday accepted a final takeover offer from rival Anheuser-Busch InBev, the company said in a statement, heralding what will be one of the world's biggest ever takeovers. The Belgium-based AB InBev had raised its cash offer to £45 ($60, 53 euros) per share from £44, in a revised proposal tabled after the value of the pound slumped following Britain's vote to leave the European Union. SABMiller Chairman Jan du Plessis said the decision had been difficult.
