Anheuser Busch InBev SA on Thursday announced the structure and leadership team it plans to adopt once its takeover of SABMiller Plc goes through.
The $100 billion-plus deal, which was sweetened last week to help make up for a drop in the British currency, has been approved by both companies' boards but still needs to be voted on by shareholders, some of whom oppose the deal.
The maker of Budweiser and Stella Artois said it would continue to be based in Leuven, Belgium, while managing its day-to-day operations from New York.
The brewer said the new company would be organised into nine geographical zones, and that existing SABMiller hubs in Miami, Hong Kong and Beijing would be phased out within a few months after completion of the combination.
