Australia: Takeover Panel rejects Lion Nathan application on Coopers bid
Lion Nathan Ltd attacked on September 22 the board of takeover target Coopers Brewery over
what Lion Nathan described as Coopers "unusual" approach to the sales process for Coopers shares,
according to Asia Pulse’s statement.
Australia's Takeover Panel said it has rejected an application for it
to act on alleged misleading statements made by Coopers Brewing Ltd directors relating to a
A$352 mln bid for the brewer by Lion Nathan Ltd., according to AFX publications from
September 23. The panel said it dismissed Lion Nathan's application because it believes Coopers' 117
shareholders are unlikely to have been misled by their board.
Beer maker Lion Nathan, 46 %
owned by Japan's Kirin Brewery Co, has made a $A352 million ($US267.91 million) takeover bid
for Coopers, offering $A260 ($US197.89) per Coopers share, which Cooper's has rejected as opportunistic.
In the past few weeks, the two companies have been arguing over a pre-emptive rights
regime which determines the process of how the shares are sold, the order in which
shares up for sale are made available to buyers, and sets a "fair value" for
shares if there is disagreement between a seller and purchaser on price.
Under the Coopers constitution,
shares up for sale must

Kazakhstan: BBH is investing EUR 35 mln at Ak Nar brewery and eyes neighbouring markets
Baltic Beverages Holding AB (BBH) the joint venture owned 50-50 by Scottish & Newcastle PLC
and Carlsberg AS, is investing EUR 35 million at its brewery in Kazakhstan, BBH president
Christian Ramm-Schmidt told AFX News on September 21. The purpose is to double production at
its Ak Nar brewery based in Kazakhstan's financial capital Almaty. BBH owns 90% of Ak
Nar, where it produces beer under the popular Derbes, Irbis and Alma Ata brands.
BBH's
investment aimed to boost Ak Nar's capacity to 2.3 – 2.5 million hectolitres a year
from the current 1.4 million hectolitres, according to Reuters statement. The increase of capacity will
be used partly to produce Baltika brand beer, currently imported from Russia, and partly to
increase production of BBH's three local brands, Derbes, Irbis and Almaty, he said.
"We have
so far invested some $60 million in Ak Nar," Paul Bergqvist, Carlsberg's executive vice president
and deputy chief executive officer, told a presentation late on Tuesday. "As Kazakhstan's market is
very interesting, promising and fast-growing we have decided to invest a further 35 million euros
($43 million) in the plant in Almaty," he said, adding that the investment would be
made by the summer of

Brasil & Canada: Molson Coors brewery wants remaining in Brazilian market
Molson Coors Brewing Co. reiterated on September 20 that it is looking at a range
of options, including third-party discussions, for its Brazilian operation in wake of speculation that it
was close to selling the division, according to Associated Press. In a Securities and Exchange
Commission filing, the world's fifth-largest brewer repeated a position first announced in May that it
wants to remain in the Brazilian market if it can do so "on a winning
basis."
The filing came on the heels of unconfirmed reports and some analyst speculation that Molson
Coors was negotiating a sale of the poor-performing division, Cervejarias Kaiser. Many believe the company
would be better off if it sold the unit. "The expectation is that they are
looking to sell it clearly," said analyst Bill Chisholm who tracks Molson Coors for Dundee
Securities.
"They're not putting any more money into it, and it seems to be at very
best stagnant, if not still deteriorating, so it needs someone who is more committed to
it to get it turned around," he said.The SEC filing likely was submitted to help
"ward off press speculation," he said.
In May, Molson Coors CEO Leo Kiely said the parent
company would not put additional

Belgium: Duvel Moortgat’s consolidated turnover increased by 7.7% in the first half of 2005
Duvel Moortgat NV announced on September 20 that its consolidated turnover increased by 7.7% and
income after tax by 8.2% for the first half of 2005 year-on-year. Turnover abroad represents
already 33% of total turnover.
Turnover of the group’s main beer brands realises a significant increase
compared to the first quarter of 2004. Duvel’s turnover rises globally by 4%. The 3
Maredsous abbey beers increase by 18%. Vedett almost doubles its turnover. Turnover of the Czech
Bernard beers increases by 31% and that of the Ommegang products in the United States
by 23%.
The growing sales abroad, representing already 33% of turnover, proves that Duvel Moortgat
continues its internationalisation successfully.
Due to the disappearance of Freya’s turnover, the Belgian market
only rises by 1%. The turnover abroad increases by 23% as a direct result of
diverse initiatives in the priority export markets. In the Netherlands, following the price war in
the supermarket chains, turnover only increases by 3%, not taking into account Freya. In France,
turnover grows by 38% and, in the UK, by 31%. The United States also do
well with a turnover increase of 23%. Both the American and the Belgian beers increased
their volumes. The other countries,
