Constellation Brands Statement Regarding Discussions with DOJ
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
VICTOR, N.Y., March 15, 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 have made substantial progress in their
discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice toward resolution of the
Department of Justice's litigation, relating to AB InBev's proposed acquisition
of the remaining stake in Grupo Modelo it does not already own, based on the
terms of the revised transaction announced on Feb. 14, 2013.
Today, the companies and the Department of Justice jointly approached the Court
to request an extension of the stay on their current litigation, currently due
to expire on March 19, 2013, to April 9, 2013. The parties agree that an
extension of the current stay will likely enable the parties to complete their
discussions. If the parties reach an agreement, they will file a proposed
consent judgment and related documentation with the Court. There can be no
assurance that the ongoing discussions will be successful.
