Belgium beer giant InBev NV has made an unsolicited bid of $46 billion for Anheuser-Busch Cos., Anheuser said Wednesday.
Anheuser said in a statement that its board will carefully evaluate the non-binding, $65-a-share proposal. The board "will pursue the course of action that is in the best interests of Anheuser-Busch's stockholders."
The St. Louis company didn't say when the board planned to respond. It would make its determination "in due course," the release said.
Anheuser is the world's third-largest brewer by volume and the dominant U.S. beer maker. InBev, based in Leuven, Belgium, is the second-largest brewer by volume after London's SABMiller.
InBev had been weighing a takeover bid for Anheuser for weeks, according to people familiar with the matter.
The last large American brewery.
