Colombia: SABMiller could complete its takeover of Bavaria in October this year
SABMiller's takeover of Colombian brewer Bavaria could be complete by mid-October, Bavaria, said on September
15, according to Reuters’ reports. In July, SABMiller announced a US$7.8 billion stock-and-cash deal, including
debt and interests in subsidiaries, to take over Bavaria and create the world's No. 2
brewer by volume.
"The parties consider that the merger will be completed by mid-October this
year, although it could be later given that there are multiple factors not under the
control of the parties, including the time the UK Listing Authority could take to approve
the document," Bavaria said in a letter to Colombia's stock market regulator, the Securities Superintendency.
SABMiller Plc agreed to buy the company at $19.48 a share, which sparked a 15-percent
sell-off by minority shareholders on the day the deal was announced.
But, under Colombian law,
the minority shareholders would be allowed to request an independent valuation of Bavaria's fair value,
and SABMiller could be ordered to pay at the rate determined. "The price (paid) in
the obligatory (Public Share Offering) could be higher or lower than the equivalent in pesos
of $19.48," Bavaria said.
No decision has been taken on whether to maintain Bavaria's
shares listed in Colombia, the

Brazil: Molson Coors may sell Cervejarias Kaiser, analysts said
Molson Coors Brewing Co., the world's fifth beer maker, might sell Cervejarias Kaiser, its money-losing
Brazil unit, according to some analysts’ comments posted by Bloomberg on September 15. The Netherlands'
Heineken NV and Mexico's FEMSA are rumoured to be involved in the deal, an analyst
at Legg Mason Wood Walker Inc. said. The figure attached to the rumoured sale is
U$150-million, which translates into as much as $7 a share for Molson Coors.
UBS analyst Nik
Modi wrote in a report Sept. 13 that Brazilian business magazine Exame, citing unidentified people
close to Cervejarias Kaiser, expects the transaction to be completed next month. Legg Mason analyst
Mark Swartzberg cited the same report in a note to clients. “Where there's smoke, there's
fire,'' Swartzberg, who rates Molson Coors shares “hold,'' said in a telephone interview. “Heineken and
Femsa are the most logical buyers.''
If the sale goes through at the rumoured price,
Molson's enterprise value could increase between $502-million and $619-million, Mr. Swartzberg calculated. That scenario assumes
that Molson Coors retains offsetting contingent tax liabilities of at least $264-million. But he thinks
that $150-million "looks excessive for the right to own a loss-making, share-losing business." Moreover, he
said "we believe an expected

Czech Republic: Pivovar Starobrno brewery announces sales increase in domestic market
Czech brewery Pivovar Starobrno, announced a 3% increase in domestic beer sales to 398,600 hectolitres
for the first six months of the year, Prague Monitor announced on September 15.
The
company thus remained the fourth largest distributor in the country and raised market share from
4.7 to 5.4 percent. However, overall sales, including from the brewery Hostan which the firm
controls, went slightly down to nearly 419,000 hectolitres, in line with the nationwide trend, CEO
Frantisek Krakes said.
He added that beer sales in the country dipped by three percent
in the first half of the year.
Starobrno exported 20,000 hectolitres in the first half,
mostly to Sweden, Germany, Austria, the USA and Great Britain. Production for the neighbouring Slovak
market was transferred to Heineken Slovensko in 2004.
Starobrno sold a total of 468,000 hectolitres
of drinks by the end of June, with sales including excise duty amounting to CZK
732.5 million. Operating profit reached CZK 54 million. The firm has a 25 percent market
share in South Moravia and a 50 percent stake in the city of Brno.

World: Situation on malt import demand
As the barley harvest was in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere, activity in malt
remained small. Venezuela is reported to have booked 50-60,000 tonnes from the EU and 20,000
tonnes from Chile. Balkan countries and the Ukraine purchased quantities for spot deliveries as well
as for 2006. Minor sales were reported to Africa, S.E. Asia and Japan.
But the larger
part of malt import demand for 2006 is still open, Russia and Ukraine, some African
demand, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, part of the Japanese needs, Korea, Brazil and Venezuela. Chilli
and Taiwan announced their buying intentions resp. tenders for 15,000 and 30,000 tonnes.

EU: The difficult market conditions are to eliminate further malting capacities from the market
After concluding their domestic business in the spring at a very depressed level, the malting
industry are now faced with high barley and energy prices, GlobalMalt has commented in its
September Market Report.
GlobalMalt said: “The cost increases resulting from these factors amount to between
35 and 50 Euro/tonne depending on the location of the malt house. Malsters, who have
not covered their needs in advance, cannot even cover their variable production costs at these
contract prices.
The changed market conditions also increase the calculated price for upcoming malt exports considerably.
We expect that these price increases, at least to this amount, will be passed on
to customers, as the price calculated for the previous campaign was already at the level
of marginal costs. It remains to be seen to what extent the European malt industry
can compete in its traditional, and highly competitive, export destinations in South and Middle America
and Asia.”
GlobalMalt expects these very difficult market conditions to eliminate further malting capacities from the
market, so that the existing overcapacity in the EU will soon fall to clearly under
10 %. GlobalMalt hopes the upcoming world beverages trade fair DRINKTEC in Munich will perhaps
already give further signals about
