Constellation Brands Statement Regarding Discussions with DOJ
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
VICTOR, N.Y., Feb. 20, 2013 - Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B),
Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI; NYSE: BUD), Grupo Modelo, S.A.B. de C.V.
(BMV: GMODELOC), and Crown Imports LLC are engaged in discussions with the U.S.
Department of Justice seeking to resolve the Department of Justice's litigation
challenging AB InBev's proposed acquisition of the remaining stake in Grupo
Modelo that it does not already own. In connection with such discussions, the
parties and the Department of Justice have agreed to jointly approach the court
to request a stay of all litigation proceedings until March 19, 2013. There can
be no assurance that the discussions will be successful.
Constellation believes that the revised transaction resolves the concerns raised
in the DOJ's complaint.
