1On October 10 2016, a merger between Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller was finalized. To comply with U.S. anti-trust regulations the combined company agreed to sell its stake in MillerCoors. MolsonCoors, who already had a 42% ownership stake in MillerCoors, purchased the remaining 58%. The purchase makes MolsonCoors the world’s third largest brewing company (Nurin 2016, Svaldi 2016).
