Anheuser-Busch to Apply for Delisting from LSE
ST. LOUIS, March 31 -- Anheuser-Busch gives notice of its intention to apply
to have its common stock with a par value of US$1 (one United States dollar) per
share (the 'Shares') delisted from the Official List of the United Kingdom
Listing Authority (the 'Official List') and to have the admission to trading of
its Shares on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities
cancelled.
Reasons for Delisting
On the basis that trading volumes have been very low Anheuser-Busch has
decided to request a delisting of its Shares from the Official List and the
cancellation of the admission to trading of its Shares on the London Stock
Exchange's market for listed securities to reduce compliance costs.
Anheuser-Busch believes that delisting its Shares from the Official List and
cancelling the admission of its Shares to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's market for listed securities will not adversely affect its
shareholders. The Shares will continue to be listed and admitted to trading on
the New York Stock Exchange and the SWX Swiss Exchange. It is also
Anheuser-Busch's current intention to seek a further listing of the Shares on
Euronext Paris in the future.
Schedule
Accordingly, Anheuser-Busch proposes to make applications to the UK
Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange plc, for the cancellations,
respectively, of:
(a) the secondary listing of Shares on the Official List maintained by
the UK Listing Authority; and
(b) the trading of Shares on the London Stock Exchange's market for
listed securities.
It is anticipated that cancellation of secondary listing and admission to
trading will take effect from April 29, 2008, being over 20 business days
following the date of this announcement, (or as soon thereafter as is
practicable).
Stock Exchanges on which Anheuser-Busch's common stock will continue to be
listed
In the United States, Anheuser-Busch's shares of common stock will
continue to be listed and admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
In Europe, Anheuser-Busch's common stock will continue to be listed and
admitted to trading on the SWX Swiss Exchange.
