It looks like the biggest takeover in years is in trouble
That follows news out Tuesday that AB InBev, the maker of Budweiser, had raised its bid to 45 pounds ($59) a share from the 44 pounds ($57) announced back in October.
A number of activist investors in SAB Miller, including Elliot Management, had raised concerns about the deal following a 12% drop in the pound versus the dollar since the UK voted to leave the European Union in June.
AB InBev also tweaked the terms of an alternative share-and-cash structure designed for SABMiller's two largest shareholders, raising the cash element by 88 pence a share, according to Reuters.
