SABMiller shareholders approve 'megabrew' takeover deal by Budweiser brewer

Shareholders of beer giant SABMiller have given the green light to the firm's £79bn (€91bn) takeover by Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev, paving the way for the biggest deal in UK corporate history.

SABMiller said investors backed AB InBev's £45-a-share (€52) offer, which was upped from £44-a-share (€51) in July following the collapse in the value of the pound after the Brexit vote.
