Milbank
Full Credential Description
Milbank LLP advised Apollo Global Management and a consortium of institutional investors in a strategic investment to acquire a 49.9% stake in Anheuser-Busch InBevs US-based metal container plants for approximately $3 billion. The client, Apollo, faced the challenge of identifying high-quality investment opportunities that could provide long-term, stable cash flows in a complex market environment. The tailored solution involved leveraging Apollos integrated investment platform to optimize AB InBevs assets and unlock shareholder value. This strategic relationship allows AB InBev to maintain operational control over its metal container plants while ensuring a long-term supply agreement for its metal container needs. Additionally, AB InBev retains the right to reacquire the minority stake starting from the fifth anniversary of the transaction at pre-determined financial , providing flexibility and security for both parties. The collaboration not only positioned Apollo to invest in valuable assets but also ensured that AB InBev could continue to serve its customers effectively while benefiting from the financial backing and expertise of Apollo and its partners.
