Shareholders approve Anheuser-Miller merger

Overcoming resistance from some investors, SABMiller shareholders gave a thumbs up to the $103 billion merger of SABMiller and Anheuser-Busch Inbev. The opposition came from SABMiller shareholders who felt their payout would be too low when the price fell as a repercussion of Britain voting to leave the EU. The shareholder approval was considered a major hurdle in moving the deal forward, one that will result in an entity that could control nearly a third of the global beer market.
