Kulczyk to bid for SABMiller shares - Reuters

Kulczyk Investments, a company owned by Sebastian Kulczyk, is considering a bid for brewery giant SABMiller’s Central and Eastern European assets, valued at about $6 billion, Reuters informed on Thursday. The brewing businesses, based in Czechia, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, are up for sale as part of Anheuser-Busch InBev's (AB InBev) $100 billion-plus takeover of SABMiller. Puls Biznesu said Sebastian Kulczyk, who now owns a 1.5 percent stake in SABMiller, could become a partner to private equity funds that need to team up to match AB InBev's price expectations. According to the Polish daily, Advent International, KKR, BC Partners, CVC and Mid Europa Partners are among the funds interested in buying SABMiller's local brands. There is still no official information, since Sebastian Kulczyk was not available for a comment.
