BERLIN: Workers at Volkswagen have been warned to expect painful changes as the German carmaker tackles the emissions scandal.
New CEO Matthias Müller told staff that non-essential investments will be delayed or abandoned as it wrestles with the crisis.
Brewing firm SABMiller has turned down an ‘informal offer’ from rival Anheuser-Busch InBev, according to a Bloomberg newsflash.
That’s sent SAB’s shares down 3%, to the bottom of the FTSE 100 (budge up, Glencore!).
This come three weeks after AB INBev, which brews Stella Artois and Budweiser, approached SAB, whose brands including Grolsch and Peroni.
Any deal would be huge, creating a new company worth perhaps $250bn (£160bn).
AB InBev has just a week to make a firm bid or walk away, so it’s not Last Orders in this story, yet.
