0 Australia: Federal Court of Australia delays decision on Lion Nathan and Coopers

The Federal Court of Australia announced it has delayed until next week its decision on whether or not a meeting of shareholders of Coopers Brewery can take place to consider the removal of brewer Lion Nathan Ltd's pre-emptive rights to buy Coopers shares, Asia Pulse communicated on October 7.

Lion Nathan and Coopers are locked in legal wrangling arising from Lion Nathan's hostile A$352 million (US$267.91 million) takeover bid for Coopers at A$260 per share. ADVERTISEMENT

The Federal Court's Justice Alan Goldberg is now expected to hand down his decision on Tuesday next week. He had been expected to hand down his decision in Melbourne this afternoon.

Lion Nathan is seeking an injunction from the Federal Court to stop a Coopers shareholders meeting on October 20 from considering a resolution to remove Lion Nathan's pre-emptive rights.

Under the Coopers constitution, shares up for sale must first be offered to another Coopers shareholder, secondly to AMP or any other Coopers employee superannuation fund, and thirdly to Lion Nathan.

Lion Nathan has said that if Coopers shareholders vote in favour of the resolution they will effectively put an end to its takeover offer of A$260 per share. Lion Nathan has argued that Coopers shareholders do ...

0 Canada & Brazil: AmBev is sure its Labatt Brewing is on track to increase profits by 15%

Brazil's AmBev said on October 5 that it has helped decrease costs at its brewery in Canada, Labatt Brewing Co., and added it is on track to increase profits 15 % this year. "We are on our way to deliver on our target," Reuters quoted Pedro Aidar, AmBev's head of investor relations.

Labatt, which came under AmBev's control a year ago when Belgian parent InBev bought the Brazilian brewer in 2004, has struggled to increase market share in Canada, where the industry is saturated and the competition stiff.

Labatt's market share is down half a point to 41 % from the same time last year. In an attempt to streamline operations and boost profit margins, InBev slashed 40 million euros of costs from Labatt's operations through job cuts and other savings.

Labatt has already closed one plant and said it will close another this year. It does not see any more closures and said that by the time both facilities are offline the brewer will have reduced staff by around 450. Cost-cutting measures are seen as one of the factor's behind Labatt's projected profit growth this year and Aidar said he does not expect the same kind of growth in 2006.

0 Australia: Joe White Maltings will close its Wendouree malt production plant

Australian agribusiness, ABB Grain Ltd announced on October 6 that its wholly owned subsidiary, Joe White Maltings, will close its Wendouree malt production plant at Ballarat from December 1.

Joe White Maltings says the decision was due to the need for major capital investment in the Ballarat plant to bring it up to efficient operation. “The 30,000 tonnes of malt previously produced by Wendouree will now be covered by the more efficient, low cost Forrestfield plant in Perth,” ABB Grain Ltd’s managing director, Michael Iwaniw, said.

“In addition to covering the malt production previously produced at Wendouree, an additional 70,000 tonnes will be produced at Forrestfield. “The doubling of Joe White Maltings’ Forrestfield’s annual malt capacity to 200,000 tonnes is the result of a $40 million upgrade to the WA plant, with the extra production used to supply the expanding malt market in Asia.

“The increased efficiencies we will gain from the Western Australian upgrade, which will be completed in February 2006, will better position ABB and Joe White to compete in the Asian market.”

Joe White Maltings’ other plants in the Ballarat region – Lake Gardens and Delacombe – will continue to produce malt. Many of the Wendouree staff are long-term employees and ...

0 China: China started purchasing malting barley after a lengthy absence from the market

Last week China purchased a cargo of 30,000 to 35,000 tonnes of malting barley from Australia at a price of 204 et 205 US$/t, Reuters communicated on October 6. Last week China also purchased malting barley from Canada and Europe. Reuters said last month that China had bought 60,000 tonnes of French malting barley.

The acquisition is a return to the market by Chinese brewers after their strategy of buying substitute cheap feed barley backfired. A leading Australian grains trader said on October 5 that China is also keen to buy malting barley from the new crop.

Chinese brewers have for months been trying to avoid the higher prices for malting barley by buying cheap animal feed barley to blend with malting barley, Australian traders said, according to Reuters. This is a familiar tactic and usually allows China to produce low-quality cheap beer. But this year the quality of the feed barley has been so poor importers have dumped it.

"Everybody keeps saying 'the Chinese will buy anything, it doesn't matter'. It has been true in the past ... But last year that just went all to pot," said Ole Houe, coarse grains manager at grains trader GrainCorp. "The ...
