China gives conditional approval for AB InBev, SABMiller merger

Reuters - UK Focus

(Recasts, adds details)

BEIJING, July 29 (Reuters) - China's Commerce Ministry said on Friday that it had approved Anheuser-Busch InBev's takeover of SABMiller (Xetra: BRW1.DE - news) , conditional on Anheuser-Busch fulfilling an earlier agreement to sell SABMiller's stake in a China beer venture.

China Resources Beer agreed in March to buy SABMiller's stake in their CR Snow venture for a less-than-expected $1.6 billion, removing a regulatory obstacle to the London-based brewer's takeover by Anheuser-Busch.

The ministry said that SABMiller had pledged to support Anheuser-Busch in the sale of the Chinese venture.
