§ IV·SE-Cluster Issuer Brief

Filing language.

Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.

In addition to the consolidation of brewers and the acquisitive nature of the industry, exports, licensing and partnership arrangements continue to be used and these transactions typically occur between the same global competitors that make up the majority of the market.

10-KFY2023

The brewing industry has significantly evolved over the years to become an increasingly global and complex market as the consolidation of brewers globally has resulted in a small number of large global brewers representing the majority of the worldwide beer market.

10-KFY2023

The current landscape primarily features smaller-scale acquisitions including exports, licensing, and partnership arrangements.

10-KFY2024

These activities continue to occur predominantly among the same global competitors that represent the majority of the market.
