Warren Buffett is to meet this week with August Busch IV, the chief executive of Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch, according to press reports over the weekend, to discuss a $65-a-share offer for Anheuser from Belgian brewer Inbev. Buffett’s investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway, holds a 5% stake in Anheuser, bought on the market in early 2005 for about $1.7bn. The stake was still worth that much on March 31, the time of the last regulatory filing, equivalent to $47 a share.
